THE WEEKS TALK IN NEW YORK CITY Russell Sage as He Really
 Was HAD BUT ONE AMBITION That Was to Keep From Being Poor. He Robbed No One and Lived
 a Respectable and
 Proper Life.
HAD BUT ONE AMBITION
BY sEWELL HAooARD.

New York. July 2S.--It is hard for a man like Russell Sage to get justice in public opinion, even after he Is dead. If Sage had any virtue beyond thrift. he did not show 1t to the world. The world looked upon him as a skin-flint. Every one knows the manner of man that is called a skln-fllnt. Every village has one The difference Is that Russell Sage was considered the slkin-flint of a very large village.
 Yet where sage's life is compared to that of some other prominent flnaneiers he does not appear to have been bad man. His life was successful and ap- parently he was happy. He had but one passion-moneym making. He often said that he made up his mind at an early age not to be poor, and he was so young when he started out to achieve this am bition that it may be said that he had practically no boyhood. He said him. self that 1t was nothing but work yet he was proud of 1t. Somebody has told a story that he once went fishing but that is probably untrue. Sage would never have cared to fish except for shekels.
 Work was his pleasure; 1t wasn't work To nm Tn the sense that IL IS 10 OlQeTS. He set himself to the task of accom- plishing a certain thing, and he did 1t; accomplishing 1t to him was nothing more than a long vacation. He indulged In none of what the world calls pleas ures. He did not care to. Neither had he any of the vices and frailties. As a grocer he sold liquor and tobacco, but never touched either
 Sage might have been president had he stuck to politics. for in that sphere he was successful. but he resolved to let nothing interfere with his llfes am- bition not to be poor.
 One of the first things he learned In his speculative career was that what Wall street needed most was cash, and for years Uncle" Russell supplied a big share of 1t at good terms to himself. Folks always laughed at him for his frugal lunches and his ill-fitting clothes, but Uncle" Russell cared not for luxu- ries and show. It cannot be said of him that he ever passed or pretended to be what he was not. He was a money maker pure and simple and success crowned his efforts There was never any scandal associated with his name; "Uncle' Russell never robbed insurance companies. His was a respectable as well as a financially successful life.

Stories Told of Him.

Many anecdotes arc told of MT. Sage, most of which grew out of his thrifty habits.
 A newspaper man, who, for several years had free access to MT. Sage's pri- vate office. was enable to observe his thrlftiness on a number of occasions Once he met MT. Sage on Broadway The aged millionaire was Juggling big bundle wrapped In brown paper. The reporter expressed his astonishment
 "Oh." replied MT. Sage. that has a nice overcoat in 1t. 1t is for an old friend of mine He is very poor. thought I would make him a present and I bought 1t for him. I paid SIP for it. It will keep him warm. But he said that 1t was too small. I am going to get 1t changed for bigger one.
 At this MT Sage, who had been on the move all the time he was talking, dived into one of the sporadic hand-me-down clothing stores that at intervals spring up mushroom-like along Broadway. The impression left on the reporters mind was that the bigger overcoat was going to be worn by Mir Sage himself. This incident at any rate, disproves the strong Wall street impression that Mir Sage was never known to make a gift.

Favorable Balance.

A favorable balance of over S500000, 900 in the years volume of International mer- chandising revives interest in a question which has always been more or less of puzzle. namely: What becomes of these recurring great balances which ap- pear in the annual statements of eX- ports and imports?" Those balances range from $9OO, 900 to $500, O00O GOO and on the face thereof we should by this time have about all the money In the world. Last year the balance of s517 100000 might very properly be reinforced by the addi- tion of at least S2O0 per capita on an im- migration of 1O0o0 GOO souls, total of $200 000,000. The real balance is. there fore, approximately S70O,O00,00o. instead of $500 100000 in round figures There has also been going on during the last two years q heavy foreign investment in American securities.

Standpat Platform,

The determination of republican leaders to run the Congress campaign this year on stand-pat platform with Roosevelt the grand central figure has not filled Wall street with unal- loved enthusiasm. There is a general willingness to subscribe to the stand pat proposition so far as it may tend to keep down tariff agitation, but satisfaction in this respect Is offset by inward quakings over the prospect of "too much Roosevelt" The fear is voiced in corporation offices that an- other overwhelming administration vic tory at the polls might be, and in all probability would be, construed as a popular command upon Congress to go to further lengths for railroad and trust regulation Timd people are found everywhere who see in the cur

countered MT Sage at the corner of Broadway and Cortlandt street on his way to the elevated railroad station homeward bound. A newsboy had prof fered his evening papers, and MT. Sage had taken one. He offered q dime. The boy could not chahge it, and was trying to secure cents for 1t from nearby ba- mana and peanut peddlers. MT. Sage was keeping a watehful eye upon him all the time. Said the reporter to the aged financial magnate: "Tn treat you"
 Thank you, thank you said MT. Sage, and calling loudly. Boy! Boy!' he summoned back his dime, and. as smiles overspread his face, the reporter handed over cent for the paper. It used to be a standing joke of this newspaper man that he had invested cents in Rus sell Sage"

Do We Eat Too Much?

The reformers are always telling New Workers that they are doing things the wrong way, and now the physicians have joined the chorus The doctors tell us that we eat too much. The opinion of the health experts is that the number of hospitals. dspensaries and physicians, to say nothing of the death rate, might be cut in half If the daily rations of the rich. tue well-tc-do and even of the majority of the poor were in summer re- Cuced one-third

rent political trend an Irresistible movement having for its logical con- clusion government and municipal ownership and the ultimate dominance of socialism Naturally this does not conduce to quiet among those in control of great property interests. This sense of uneasness Is reflected in the failure of many important and influential in- terests to respond to arguments and facts advanced in favor of speculative activity and higher prices.

Got Ills Lunches Free.

Daily for years MT. Sage used to go from his Wall street office to the Vest ern Union building. at 195 Broadway. to partake of the free lunch that was served to the company by it's directors. Once the same newspaper man. whose investigation of the overcoat incident that has already been recorded, followed him there to try to obtain an interview on an important financial matter. MT. Sage showed that he did not want to talk about 1t.
 He boarded a Broadway car downtown, and the persistent reporter, still hopeful of a talk. followed The conductor came around and asked for fares. Mir Sage never budged. The conductor was getting impatient. and 1t was evident that one would have to pay. The reporter had fished up nickel for himself but he dove into his pocket again. so no one was put off the car. Mir. Sage, bright ening up perceptibly, said: Thank you" but did not offer to reimburse for the fare The reporter got his reward, how ever In the sought-for interview.

Death of Sana.

The death of Russell Sage created not the slightest ripple of excitement in the stock market Neither did 1t give rise 10 expressions of personal grief for. al- though the great money lender spent nearly fifty years of his active life in Wall Street he formed no personal at tachments. Throughout his long career he was regarded in the business world where he was best known and in which he moved. as little more than a money- making automatom, having practically nothing in common with his fellow be- ings, and governed wholly by an over mastering passion for the accumulation of dollars It would be difficult to find a man who has arrived to great proml- hence in the financial world less loved than Russell Sage. Yet, in his way. he enjoyed life for, according to the light by which he guided his steps, he was successful
