Hls LOG and Busy Career.

Russell Sage, fnancier, railroad
man, stock broker, public leader and
man Of affairs, was one Of the most
remarkable men who have attained
prominence and amassed great wealth
in Wall Street, which has produced
so many other men of striking traits
and extraordinary abilities
He was born August A, 1916, in
Verona, two miles from Oneida Cas-
tie, Oneida County, N. r., the son of
small farmer, and, when he was
twelve years old he found himself an
errand boy in the grocery store of
his brother Henry in Troy. He
worked for his board and 81 a day.
Although Russell Sage was one of
the richest men Of the world with a
command of more ready cash than
any other individual in this country,
and for more than forty years dom
inant factor in Wall Street, his
death will hardly cause a ripple in
the financial world, so carefully have
his affairs been arranged to discount
any effect of his death.
Mr. Sage's retirement was SO COM
plete, his friends say, that he rarely
came into New York In summer once
he went to his summer home For
several months past it was observed
that he was a bit childish and felt
the weight of his years.
Mr.. Sage's first wife, whom he
married in 1871, was Miss Marie
Whine, of Troy She died in 1867
His second wife, whom he married
two years later and who survives him,
was Miss Maruarnt Olivia SlOpuln 0f
Syracuse, and to whose constant care
he owed much of his habitual good
health and his ability to attend to
business with such regularity He
had no children. and the disposition
OF his vast wealth will be Of great in
terest.
