made to guard not only the fact that

that, why this all came about.

Their trip TO Mightons took place

the case except that they were excused
from further consideration OF IL.
It came from one OF the ilrors that
MightOn was very hospitable TO the

took It. it is said. They claim they had
no knowledge that they were violating

Began Life in Poverty,
Became Human Machine
AS Great Money Maker

Russell Sage was unique. lie re-
sembled none of the very rich men OF
his day and generation. He started
when "a boy IN the hunt for gold, and
he never faltered in the chase.
He was born on August T. 1916, IN
Verona ,ownship, Oneida county, n. Y.
He worked on his fathers farm until
he was sixteen and saved $3.50. Then he
became an errand boy in his brothers 8
grocery store, and increased his capital
TO $1,000. He rose from errand boy TO a
partnership. an6 at twenty-five was
worth $4,000. At thirty-five he was the
richest wholesale grocer in Troy, and
quoted at $4,000.
- AS he prOspered in business his power
in the political world also grew. He
identified himself with the Wings and
was elected alderman at Troy and then
treasurer of Rensselaer, county. In 1s4s
he was a delegate 20 the Whig con-
vention at Philadelphia. In 1850 he was
nominated for Congress by his party,
and his defeat was monumental He
hided his time and patched up his ranks
so that. two years later. he was swept
into a seat IN Congress by a record
breaking majority.
At the beginning of the civil war he
rendered his services 70 the Govern
ment. and six years later removed 20
New York and began his active career
in Wall street.
He made the bulk of his great fortune
in -"The Street" by making cash loans
at nigh rates. His great cash reserve
enabled him to profit by tight markets.
on one occasion he made 5000, 900 In an
hour selling gold.
He also had heavy stock holdings and
was a director in tWenty-siX large cor
pOrauons.
fte was q human machine for money
making, and cared nuNhing for art

Good horses were his only hobby

Charity to Benefit
By Sage's Fortune,
Thinks Henry Clews

Charity will eventually receive the
benefit Of the fortune Of from $75,00O,
coo to 500, 900, 900 accumulated by
Russell Sage.
This is the opinion OF Henry Clews'
the banker.
Probably no man was in closer touch
with Mr. Sage and possessed a more

"You may quote me as saying that
MANY persons will be extremely sur
prised when Mr.. Sage's viii is read, %
said Mr.. Clews. 1T will surprise those
who believe that he left most Of his
huge fortune TO his family and kins-
folk.
Fortune to Do Good.
Ultimately the bulk OF Mr.. Sage s
money will be dispersed, 1 think, IN
channels where it will do the most
good. This may not be until after the
demise OF Mrs. Sage, who is remark
ably healthy. hearty. bTainy woman.
I'm connection with Mr.. Sage's dis
posal Of hts fortune, it may be well TO
remember that Mrs. Sage. who is a no.
BILE, good woman. exercised a wonder
ful influence over Mr.. Sage.
You may be sure that Mrs Sage
was his counselor when the Will was
drawn. 1t Is fair OF infer this Mr..
Sage had the utmost faith in her judg-
ment. I had a number Of talks with
NIr. Sage. which led me to understand
that when the will becomes public 1t
will be shown that all or a great part
Of his fortune viii go for charitable
purposes
''He had given literally 10 the cause
of woman suffrage through Mrs sage
influence. Booker WashingtOn's educe-
tionaI enterprises also prohted by Mr.
sage's gifts, which were the result Of
Mrs. Sage's interest in Washington s
work.

oIf nv opinion is considered of value
I should estimate that Mr.. Sage's for
tune VIII run between $15.0OOOOO and
500, 600 900. Nine-tenths Of this Is IN gilt
edged securities.
He owned but little realty, including
his town house, his Lopg Island estate
and few pieces elsewhere.
His death VIII not affect the stock
market in the slightest degree
Mr.. Sage had few blood relatives.
presume they will get something. Some
Of Mrs. Sages relatives Will be looked
after handsomely Mr.. Sage firmly be-
lieved that no mans personal needs re-
quired an expenditure of more than
$500 or $4,000 a year"
The extent Of his bequests to relatives
may be judged by this opinion
Executors to Take Charge at Once.
Charles A Gardiner. representing the
executors OF Mr.. Sage's will. and De-
lancy Nicoll. who was retained as coun-
sci for Mr.. Gardiner. had a long con-
| ference today with Surrogate Thomas
regarding the probating of the docu-
ments- and the methods OF the pro
| cedure.
Permission was also sought from the
surrogate TO permit the executors
named by Mr.. Sage 10 assume active
charge of his business affairs. pending
! the admission OF the will to probate
Neither Mr.. Gardiner nor Mr.. Nicoll
would discuss the Will. or their talk with

It will be observed that, notwithstand-
ing the letter disagrees with US in our
editorial of January regarding the
feas of that country, and also dis
agrees with the Investigations of DR..
Mason of Chicago, we were in the
main points correct. Our personal ex-
perience with the Arizona sand flea,
the New Mexico sand flea and the
Texas sand flea at one time made a
marked impression upon us-upon our
epidermis. But those impressions
were made long years ago, and per-
haps ere this the feas have migrated
to a more congenial climate. Fleas
do not take kindly to snow, and there
is now snow in Arizona.
Mr.. Kaliher's letter tells you to
stick to Minnesota, that Arizona is
not the land of "sunshine and flowers
that it is advertised to be, that con-
ditions here are vastly better than
conditions there. And this is just
what we have been telling you right

May the parents of children who
did not attend school twelve weeks or

prosecution if they attend forty days,

portionment: In reply, I would say
that the law requires that they shall
