Twenty years ago few persons
could get into the presence Of Russell
Sage without passing inspection by
John b. McCann, who for long time
was Mr.. Sage's confidential clerk, says
the Wall Stree Journal. Mr.. Mccain
served efficiently in that position, but
he had a soul for poetry, and after
ten years he left finance for literature.
Now that Mr.. Sage has died, Mr.
Mccain contributes to the Journalist
a remarkable tribute to his character.
He speaks OF him as a genius. He
says he was deeply religious man.
who had often during a lull in the
storm Of business "muttered little
prayer" and who In the panfc Of May,
1884, when the universe seemed
crashing about his ears, looked apd
acted like one in deep communion
with the infinite" He declares that
Mr.. Sage was a true man and a gen.
tleman.' While it was impossible for
him to cringe, he did not know how
to offend deliberately. The proof of
his moral courage was to be found in
the fact that for nearly $4,000 days
he insisted on living his own life in
his own way, regardless of criticism,
whereas weaker man would have
been made a reckless spendthrift by
the ridicule to which Mr. Sage was
subjected because of the carefulness
of his personal expenditures.
