RUSSELL SAGE DIES
At RIPE OLD AGE
Veteran FInsncIcr and Stock 6pecu-
Istor Would Have Celebrated His
Ninetieth Birthday on August
4th Next.

New York--Russell Sage died sud
denly Sunday at his country home,
"Cedarcroft," at Lawrence, l.. !. The
immediate cause of death was heart
failure, resulting from complication
of diseases incident to old age. Tho
veteran financier would have cele-
brated his ninetieth birthday on Aug
4. Mr.. Sage had been in exception
ally COED health since his arrival At
his summer home, about six months
ago. At noon Sunday he was seized
with a sinking spell and collapsed,
falling into Inconsistencies about
two hours before his death, which oc-
Cured at 4:30 o'clock.
Russell Sage, multi-millionaire and
Nestor of American financiers, was
born on Aug 4, 1916, in Verona, Onei-
da county, New York, where his par
ents, Eliza and Tendance Sage, mem
bers of a little company of pioneers
from Connecticut. had halted while
on their westward march in quest Of
a homestead At the age of IL Rus
bow In the grocery store of his broth
er, Henry. in Troy. At the age OF ~
he established a wholesale grocery or
his own in that place. In 1887 the
young merchant had accumulated a
fortune of about half million-a
great sum in those days-and began
to retire from active business. He
had already become interested In
railways, his first transaction of this
character being loan to the Lacrosse
Railroad company, which led 10 1ur-
Their transactions, resulting in his &C
curing large interests in the roads
now forming the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul system, of which ne be-
came vice president. This deter
mired Mr. Sage to devote his time 10
Wall street, and in 1866 he opened
his office. About that time he formed
an association with Jay Gould, which
continued several years. In 1867 he
originated the present method in
puts" calls" and straddles," IL
which he dealt later on a colossal
scale When he purchased seat on
he New York stock exchange in 1874
t provided that he never appear on
he floor of the exchange.
Only once, it is said, did Mr.. sage
experience a tremendous loss, which
would have shaken another man, bun =
rom which he emerged with conf
ence mistaken From that memoir
BILE day in 1884 when the great fall
re of Grant & Ward was announced,
esulting in the loss to Mr.. Sage OF
bout s6,O00,000 on a long line OF
puts" his operations necessitated the
ossession of vast amount of ready
apital, and Mr. Sage always kept his
esources so we'll in hand that in any
mergency he was able to control al
lost limitless funds.
At the time of death Mr.. Sage was
q officer and director in twenty-five
reat railroad and telegraph corpora
