Sage's Millions For CHARITY.

New York, July Russell
Sage's will, which was offered for
probate, bequeaths practically all his
vast estate to his widow. She will
devote it to charitable enterprises.
Although the instrument contains
no specific mention Of any bequests
for philanthropic purposes, the ac-
emulation of half century of busi-
ness acumen will be devoted to the
betterment of humanity in accord
ance with plans now being prepared
by Mrs. Sage. The valuation of the
personal property was given in the
petition as $20,OO0,000,OO or more
and the reality in excess of
S1,000,000.
Conservative estimates made by
those interested in the estate placed
1t at from S70,000,000 to $4,000
coo while Wall street still clings TO
the idea that the actual amount of
loans and securities and other hold
ings of the financier will be nearer
100000, 900. OF this amount the
relatives who really expected that
they would get nothing at all find
that twenty-six nephews and niecas
OF their heirs will have $4,000
each. There are twenty-nine persons
accounted for in the petition for the
citations and the amount to be dis
bursed among the kith and kin
known is $650,000.
I'm leaving his fortune to Mrs.
Sage" said DR.. Schmuck, Mr. Sage
has practically left it all to charity.
How could a woman of her advanced
years spend the thousandth part OF
it? What could she do but give it
away? Mr. Sage knew that his wife
had made a study of philanthropy
and that she would distribute it
wisely. None for charity! Say rath-
er, All for charity
