SA6E'S WEALTH AN
| UNKNOWN QUANTITY.
Estimates of the Size of For
tune OF "Dean Of the
Street" Vary Greatly.

New York, April 16 How much
is Russell Sage WORTH"
The question was provoked by the
report that Mr.. ,Sage's lawyers are
winding up his affairs, and that the
dean of the street, who is 80 years
old and whose health Is not the best,
will retire from business absolutely
as soon as he can.
The answers to the question varied
greatly. The few who have some ac-
ouaintance with the veterans fnan.
cial affairs fixed his fortune at $780,
100000; most estimated at twice
that amount; many guessed" that
he has piled up s100,000,O00. All
agreed that Russell Sage can, at
short notice, lay his hand on more
ready cash than any other man In
this country, bar John d. Rocke-
Teller.
"His fortune is the fruit OF the pro-
foundest prudence, the extremist
thrift. He has been fortunate in his
investments because he has always
made sure OF their value before in
vesting. He has never taken a risk
when he lent money, and he has done
little but lend money for the last ten
years. Always. especially in panicky
times, he has received high rates OF
interest.
So said a banker who knows as
much as any man OF Mr.. Sage's
affairs.
"But that does not mean that he
made fabulous fortune. l have
heard him say lately he is worth
scarcely $2,OOO,0O0.. He has been
exacting in money matters, but Mrs.
Sage has given away great sums OF
money-oi course with his approval"
Business is going on as usual in
Mr.. Sage's office.
