New York, July 29.—Although every
tongue In Wall slraet talked today of
Russall Hage's death, which occurred
yesterday at hla county home, “Cedar
Craft," at Lawrenca, L. I., the passing
of the 90-year-old financier was ex
pected to cause no such disturbing ef
fect upon tha market as did Ills suddan
serious lllneas of a few years ago.
Gossip on 'change and In the brokers'
offices talked mainly of "Undo" Rue

among themselvea anecdotes concern
ing deed* of the dead man which have
made hi* name synonymous with thrift
Planned Against Effaot.
In the far-seeing forethought which
governed all of hla business affelrs,
Mr. Sage had considered the probable
III effect and financial worry Incident to
the removal of the largest Ind
operator In call loans In the world.
Kvcry contract he made In the lendlm
of money during the last two yeare ol
his life contained a clause that In tha
event of hla death no payment of mon
eys lent should than b* demanded on
hla. account.
Kuneral services for Mr. Sage will be
held In the Klrat Presbyterian church,
Kar Rockaway, of which the Rev. Rob
ert O. Lelteh Is pastor, tomorrow at 4
p. m„ and tha Interment will be In
Oakland cemetery, Troy.
There Are Three Exeeutore.
The will of Mr. Sage was darwn by
the late Almon P. Goodwin, head of
the law Arm of Goodwin, Vandarpoel
A Thompson. When Mr. Goodwin died
the Arm was changed to Thompson,
Vanderpoel A Kreedman. Harry Thomp
son, of the Arm, has had charge of the
will. Mr. Thompson has gone to 8paln
and Mr. Vanderpoel to Marblehead. Mr.
Kreedman and Mr. Vanderpoel were not
communicative when questioned by a
reporter.
There are three executors—Mra. Saga,
Charles Woabero, for many year* Mr.
Sage's cashier und cpnfldentlat man,
and Dr. Munn. Pefldinf a formal
statement of the purport of the will,
nothing Is ascertainable about the re
port current In Mr. Sage's latter years
that he had devised aome large benevo
lences under the advice of Mr*. Sage,
but It le etated that Mra. Sag*.la left
In entire control of the fortune.

"Everybody will be very much sur
prised to learn what I have done with
my money," Mr. Saga said a year or
ao ago, to un Intimate friend, "hut they
will never learn until I am dead."
Some of hla friends Interpreted this
to mean that, unknown to nil, he had
distributed hi* great wealth to various
charities, while he lived. It Is said
that he never promised bequest* to any
of hla relatives.
Mr. Sage seemed to be particularly
happy nnd contented In the last few
day* of hi* life, nnd especially after lie
reached hi* country homo on Ocean
avenue, I-awrenoe.

ment, and alx years later removed to
Naw York, and began hla active career
In Wall street.
He made the bulk of hla great for
tune In "the street,' by making loans at
high rates. Ills great cash reserve en
abled him to profit by the tight mar
kets. He made *2,000,000 In an hour
selling gold. He alio hod heavy etock
holdings and was a director In twenty-
six Irirgo corporations.
In 19*9 be opened his office In New
Yprk and beraina a factor In Wall
•treet. He and Jay Gould became asso
ciated In some big deals. It was Mr.
Sage who originated the "rut, Calls
and Straddle*" eystein In 1172. Two
yearse later he .bought a seat on the
New York stork exchange, but If be
ever appeared on the floor the fact
has not bean chronicled.
When Grant and Ward failed In 1884
It was estimated that Huge lost 90,000,-
000. Notwithstanding this hard blow,
he recuperated rapidly and waa soon
tho formldublo factor he had been for
years.
Mr. Sago was married twice, first In
1941 to Miss Maya Wlnne, daughter
of Moses I. Wlnne, of Troy. His wife
died In New York city In 1807, and
two yean later ho married Margaret
Oliva, daughter of Joseph Slocum, of
Syracuse, N. Y.
He boasted that he never look a va
cation, and thut he was always the
llrst man at hla office.
Ha Clung to Money.
Mr. Saga for years occupied during
the winter an old-faahloned brown-
atone mansion at 800 Klfth avenue,
from which he waa forced to move In
1909, owing to the Invuslon of retail
stores, to No. 091 Klfth avenue. Ills
summers were spent at hla country
place at Lawrence, where he died.
He was reputed to bo a hard man to
part from hie money. He Was never
well dressed, nnd It Is said that he al
ways ordered the cheapest lunch poa-
slbie.
On December 4, 1991, Mr, Sage was
visited In hla office In the • Arcade
building. No. 71 Broadway, by Henry
P. Noreross, of Boston, a man of un
balanced mind, who demanded nn Im
mediate gift of $1,200,000. v When the
demand wns refused Noreross dropped
a dynamite bomb "upon the floor, the
explosion of which decapitated Nor-
cross, killed one of tne clerk* and
wrecked tho whole office. •
Clark Reoovared Damages.
Mr. Huge was only slightly Injured
by the explosion. Tho clerk who was
Injured claimed that he was uaed as a
shield by Mr. Sage, and brought suit
to recover damages. Mr. Sago fought
the cose, but the clerk finally recovered
damages. The Identity of the dyna
miter was established by Isaac D.
White, a reporter for The New York
World, where the only clue was a
small hone coat button and a link of
ntch chain.
He waa a human machine for money
making, and cared nothing for art,
music, society or entertainment. Good
horse* were hla only hobby.
CLEWS THINKS SAGE
LEFT AID TO CHARITY.
By Private lAaaed Wire.
New York, July 2*.—Charity will
eventually receive the benefit of the
fortunegof from 978,000,000 to 1100,000,-
000 accumulated by Russel Sage.
Thla la the opinion of Henry Clews,
the banker. Probably no man wn* In
closer touch with Mr. Sage nnd pos
sessed n more comprehensive Insight
Into the workings of the venerable mil
lionaire mind than Mr. Clews. The two
men were neighbors.
“You may quote me aa saying that
many persona will be extremely sur
prised when Mr. Sage's will Is read,"
said Mr. Clews, "It u II surprise those
who believe that he devised moat of hla
huge fortune to hla family and kinsfolk.
Ultimately the hulk of Mr. Sage's
money will be dispersed, I think, In
chiinnela where It will dn the moat
good. This may not be until after the
demise of Mrs. Rage, who Is a remark
ably healthy, hearty and brainy wom
an. In connection with Mr. Bagc'a dis
posal of hla fortune, It may be well to
remember that Mr*. Sage, who Is a no
ble, good woman, exercised-a wonderful
Influence over Mr. Bage.”

EPWORTH MOVEMENT
"The Epworth League Movement In
Atlanta” waa the subject for discussion
before the Methodist preachers of the
city at their weekly meeting In. the
Wesley Memorial church Monday morn
ing, and a new Impetus was given the
.work by those paators who were pres
ent.
The meeting was led by Dr, C. E.
Dowman, of the First Methodltt church,
who told of the' organisation ‘and
B ’owth of tb« society In this country.
a alao told of methods which ha be-
llevad would be conducive to a greater
success In tha work, hla talk being
short but to th* point.
Upon Invitation of the.association
several prominent Epworth League of
flcera were present and gave their opin
ions upon the good work.done by the
order, and the greater work which
could be accomplished If the proper
methods were employed. 'Among those
who talked'on the subject were Preal-
fipeelsl to The Georgian.
Cuthbert, Ga.. July 21—We are sorry
that more people c mid not have heard
the speech nf Hen. Mark Johnston, can.
illdate for state *< hool commissioner
at the court house Frldaj-night last
Those present enjoyed' a rare treat
indeed. Itare In two Instances—rare in
the fact that there waa no “mud-allng.
Ing;” rare again that it was a most
eloquent presentation of plain, althouah
vary sad, truths. •
The' speaker's first words were-
"Each week In the warpath of might
will be a rock In the temple of right"
Said he: "This beautiful truth I found
engraved in letter* of atone on tha
monument erected to' the Immortals of
'81 to '62—the monument erected to
the fallen heroes by their, sweethearts
and wives, their daughters, sisters and
mothers—situated In the center of your
historic city."
Hla application of the quotation was'
In the warpath of the great book
trusts waged against the people of
Georgia, the wrecks along the route of
might had already been made Into
rocks for the temple of right:" that
tha builders were now at work; that
the temple would be completed th*
night of the 23d day of Auguet, 1968.
He further said:
"Georgia haa no negro problem, ex
cept In So far aa the problem of ler-
vants, the problem of labor, enters
Into It."
He spoke feelingly and at length of
the fact that ao many of the while
children In Georgia were not enrolled
In the common achools, saying: "On*
hundred and sixty thousand whits
children In Georgia are at work In
field and factories aljlng their parents
to pay the balance due on homes, to
pay taxes, and yet to pay for the edu
cation of negro children.
“The misguided philanthropists of th*
North gives to negro education In Oeor.
gla of hla wealth. We of the 8outh
can continue our support to the negro
schools only by compettlng our chil
dren to resign themselves to the me
nial labor which th* negro child has
deserted. For twenty-nine years tha
whtta man's taxes have supported ne
gro schools, and today practically every
negro child In Georgia Is attending
school. All over Georgia I have seen
the struggle of these white children ta
rise from the prison of their mean es
tate. I-ct us be men, my brothers, and
answer the cry of thla great army of
our own blood. These one hundred and
sixty thousand little ones, our pwn kith
and kin, must and shall have the
chance at least to become that for which
God Almighty Intended them. We have
given the negro child our bounty for
twenty-nine year*; shall we not give
our. own white child at least a negro'i
chance?”
Mr. Johnston said further: "The fair-
minded, honest negro la not opposed to
the division of the school fund as sug
gested"—that the book trust and their
hirelings alone could see the so-called
Injustice to the poor negro.
Although the weather wae exceeding
ly warm. jar. Johnston spoke for two
hours. We would be pleased to give
hla apeech in full, but well know your
valuable apace forbid*. Mark Johnston
will surely win out In this section.
