IEW YORK.—Mrs. Russell Sage has new velvet carpets in her home at No. 632 Fifth avenue—soft, rich and beautiful, with deep, thick pile into which the foot sinks.

Or /

“I am glad,” said a woman who has known Mrs. Sage for years, ‘‘that she could have those velvet carpets before she died. In all the years of her married life down at the house at No. 506 Fifth avenue she had nothing but ancient Brussels carpet on her parlor floor. It was one she had when she first went to keeping house, and had (hose great, set medallions in it that they used to use for carpet patterns 40 years ago. The nap was worn off all over it so that the brown warp showed through. When it finally got so bad that it was impossible to use it longer matting was put down in the parlor, as it long "had been in the rest of the house. She always used the old horsehair furniture she had when she was married, such as one saw in country parlors 40 years ago, and there were great cracks in the parlor walls of the house at Forty-second street which went for years without fixing. "Mrs. Sage suffered from mortification at such things just as much as any other woman would, and I’m glad she's able to have the velvet carpets for a few years before she dies. But they came too late to give her much pleasure. After they had all been put down and the furniture was in place she walked through the house observing and admiring, and then sat down and cried. She said not a word in explanation, but it was easy to under- 1 stand. She was thinking of all the stinted years when she might have enjoyed such things, and now she has them when she is too old to care very much. "There scarcely is a day that Mrs. Sage does not weep,” continued this old friend of hers. “She simply sits and cries at the intolerable burden of having $65,000,000 on her shoulders, at the burden of distributing that huge fortune in the way that will do the most good. She is 80 years old and has a New England conscience. She wants to do just the right thing with it all, and it requires an amount of thought and study and imposes a feeling of responsibility that is hard on an old woman who only w r ants a quiet corner to spend her few remaining years in.” MRS. SAGE has aged very much since her husband’s death. She has grown thin, pale, bent and wrinkled. Aside from the natural grief over Mr. Sage's death, Mrs. Sage was plunged

KAISER RICH IN DECORATIONS. i 1 Has Been Known to Wear as Many as 1 47 at Once. Emperor William’s recent visit to ‘ Stockholm has enriched the orders and ' decorations on his breast by a very I ! beautiful specimen of gold work, the 1 grand cross of the Wasa order, with ; 1 its accompanying chain. The highest : Swedish order, the Serafine order, has | : been in the emperor's possession lor I years. I ; It is not exactly known how many : ( of these brilliant things the emperor i 1 has, but iv is supposed that he owns < 323 orders and decorations. Certainly ’ ' he has more than either his father or , < grandfather had. and has been seen 1 with as many as 47 on at on - time. ; He possesses the high< st decorations of all Europt an and Asiatic ' ’ states, including the much coveted Garter of England, which lie is very ] fond of wearing. Since the Bourbons have been on < the throne of Spain there is both an < Austrian and a Sp mish Gohlen Fleece. 1 Emperor William has only the Sp^n- j 1

almost instantly into a storm of appeals which amounted to a persecution. Her mail for some years before Mr. Sage’s death had amounted to between 40 and 50 letters a day. It leaped instantly tc 900 a day, and the entire surplus was appeals for money. Within two months after Mr. Sage’s death 7,000 letters were carted away from her house unopened. Two secretaries work night and day almost to handle Mrs. Sage's private mail. If she attempted to read ten per cent, of it personally she would be able to do nothing else. At first she tried conscientiously to look it over herself. She was astonished and disgusted at some of it. Before Mr. Sage's body was cold in its coffin she received a letter from a New York man whom she never had seen asking her to send him a check for SI,OOO by return mail, and he was kind enough to inclose a stamped envelope for reply. She never asked for advice as to the disposal of this fortune, yet within the first two months of her widowhood she received letters from more than 1,000 different men instructing her how to give away her I money so as to do the most good. One ! of them, the president of a college, wrote her that if she would give him charge of her entire fortune he would invest it so that it would support his college forever. And, far from mentioning the gratitude of his college in such an event, he told her that she ought to b- ‘hankful and grateful that she had an opportunity to do such a splendid work. THE letters that really affected Mrs. Sage at this time were pathetic appeals for Help from individuals. Many of these were to all appearances genuine, the appeals of poor and ignorant persons, suffering in want and hardship, and pathetically confident that the kind-hearted woman who had more money than she knew what to do with would give them the little that would make them happy. Some of these letters distressed Mrs. Sage greatly; but they came not only from every state in the union but from foreign countries. Had she responded to them sho would have dissipated her entire fortune in small checks to individuals all over the world. So finally Mrs. Sage gave up her mail. Now a letter which is manifestly from a personal friend is given her, but nothing else reaches her eye. It is not only impossible to reach Mrs. Sage by letter —it has become one of the impossible things to see her. Mrs. Sage formerly was one of the most approachable of women. Not a trace of snobbery or purse pride

ish Golden Fleece, because as a Protestant he cannot receive the Austrian decoration of the same name. Nor has he the grand cross of the French Legion of Honor. His father and grandfather both held it, but William 11., for obvious reasons, has never had this favor bestowed on him. Nothing, however, would please him more than to receive it. It is remarkable that he can bestow a considerable number of orders which he cannot wear himself. Among these are war decorations, the Prussian order pour le merite and all decorations bestowed for eminence in art and science. Orders for saving life cannot be worn by the emperor, and, of course, orders bestowed on ladies cannot be his. Nor does he wear the ! order founded by his grandfather, the j \\ ilhelm order, bestowed for eminence i in social reform. One order, that of the sovereign and ' protector of the Brandenburg division I of the Knights of St. John, is the only ; order worn by the emperor which no j one else possesses. The decoration I was designed by himself shortly after j his accession to the throne. j

Is to be found In her make-up. A plain, old-fashioned village woman she started her career, and that she remains to this day. She never cared anything about fine clothes or societv, and her friends were chosen bv preference from among the people who were doing the work of the world. With professional women she was particularly friendly. That period of her own life between 1847, when she was graduated, and 18b9, when she married Mr. Sage, was spent in teaching school whenever her health would permit, and she never felt above anyone who earned his or her living. Anyone who had ever been introduced to Mrs. Sage could see her as easily in her own home as if she had been the wife of a clerk instead of a multi-millionaire. BUT the papers had barely announced Mr. Sage’s death when a rush began upon her house that beggared description. Mrs. Sage had been advertised to the world not only as a very rich woman but as a very charitable one, who intended to distribute the fortune which Mr. Sage spent his life in heaping up. There are men who spend their lives watching for just such people and whose standing in the educational or charitable institutions with which they are connected depends on the size of the contributions they can secure. Innumerable persons of this class besieged Mrs. Sage’s house, and she frequently was amazed at tho character and standing of such persons and at the means they i used to secure interviews with her. Human strength could not endure the strain, and she intrenched herself behind a solid wall of humanity. The experience of one woman who tried to pierce this rampart will illustrate the process. This woman was a Philadelphian of good family and high social standing, interested in a worthy object. She was not the type of woman who is denied admission anywhere, and she came to New York armed with a letter of introduction from an old and highly esteemed friend of Mrs. Sage. She drove straight to the house, at No. 632 Fifth avenue, supposing that her visiting card and letter of introduction would be enough to at least gain her admission. The front door was opened about three inches and there appeared in the aperture a face quite wooden in its immobility. THIS, the woman afterwards found, was old Nelson, who belongs to the nearly extinct species of old family servitor. He is known among those familiar with the subject as “Mrs. Sage’s dragon,” and his business is to keep people on the wrong side of that front door. He would not touch either card or letter, and shut the door in the Philadelphia lady’s face. Then she set in motion the various means of communication known to civilization. She telegraphed, telephoned, sent letters by special messenger. Nothing received the slightest reply. She went to the pastor of the Dutch Reformed church where Mrs. Sage worshiped. He was courteous but obdurate. Hundreds of such requests came to him; it was impossible to grant them. She went to Mrs. Sage’s country home on Long Island, thinking that in the more easy atmosphere of country life the guard would be relaxed. A maid rejected her card and turned her from the door with no more ceremony than if she were a peddler. She set to work to find personal friends of Mrs. Sage who would introduce her. In every direction she encountered the human wall, made up of lawyers, physicians, detectives, nurses, secretaries, servants, all inflexibly barring the way to Mrs. Sage. The lady from Philadelphia returned to the city of Philadelphia a sadder and wiser woman. SOME ONE wrote a book once on “Prisoners of Poverty.” Mrs. Sage is a prisoner of wealth. Behind this human rampart she sits, afraid that some one may reach to torment her. In the old days, when Mrs. Sage had only a little money to give to anything, her personal interests were all in charities and educational work for women—the Woman’s hospital, the Woman's Exchange, the Pascal Institute, the Emma Willard School for Girls, the Home for Aged Women at Amsterdam avenue and One Hundred .and Fourth street. She used to like to go around to meetings of these societies, and of other women’s organizations. She would slip in quietly and unobtrusively and often rise to say a few words in the discussion of business or program. All that is stopped. She almost fears to appear in public, so much is she haunted by the dread of appeals for money. CURIOUS stories can be encountered among the old acquaintances of Mrs. Sage to show her limited command of money in the old days. She was deeply interested in the Woman’s hospital, but when one of the board of managers asked her for a contribution one day Mrs. Sage confessed that she could not give money. “I can give you clothing and hospital supplies,” said she, “for Mr. Sage will pay bills that I run up, but I can’t give you cash.” This explains Mrs. Sage’s generosity ^t times and her apparent lack of it at

IN TOUCH WITH REAL WORLD. Man of Natural Life Has Advantage Over the Ascetic. Not all ascetics are dawdlers, but at least we may feel sure that such men i as the tennis-playing bishop of London and Henry Van Dyke, preacher, teacher and mighty fisher before the Lord, are types of men who are abolishing the medieval idea'that wan incompetence is righteousness. The most helpful clergyman I know is a man who still plays football. I had heard his calm words still the hysteria of tired women and arouse the emotions of burdened business men, but I found that he was not merely a man of words. For I mossed the I Atlantic in a cattle boat with him, and i whether we hauled up the 250-pound hay bales, or cleaned the gangways, or I told stories in the squalid foc’s’le, ' there was no man aboard who was I more competent. No one, save I, ! knew he was a minister, but there was something about his laughing: “What’s i the use of beating ’em up, old man?” j which kept the furious straw boss i from maltreating the poor old cock-

others when cash jvas needed and she could not give and would not explain why. Her lack of (command of money went to almost incredible extents at times. An old member of the Emma Willard Alumnae association recalls an incident at a meeting which took place at Mrs. Sage's home years ago. with Mrs. Sage presiding. The association was obliged to count, every penny, and when some committee member made a request Wr some postage stamps to send out in letters there was discussion as to whether or not the stamps should be sent. The amount asked for was only 38 cents’ worth, but Mrs. Sage let the discussion go on till finally a self-supporting woman arose and said: “Please don’t let us waste any more time over this. I will pay for the stamps.” ONE woman who knew Mrs. Sage well in the years when she lived at No. 506 Fifth avenue declares that she never had more than SSO a week to run that house and pay all her own expenses. Some of her earliest expenditures of money after she became a widow are rather pathetic to one who can read between «he lines. One of them was to remove the remains of her grandparents on her father’s side from thefir almosi forgotten burial place on a farm ne»r Troy to the family burial plot in Troy. Another was to repair ‘.he tombstones of her maternal grandparents, Jfr. and Mrs. Henry Pierson, at Sag Harbor, and frame them in granite tl keep them from falling and crumbl^ away. One of her few pet sonal irplgences has been to buy an automobile, a thing that Mr. Sage never owned! The difference in giving to the things in which she always was interested is very apparent. The million to the Emma Willard school has been mentioned. She has given $125,000 to me Home for Aged Women at Amsteyiam avenue and One Hundred and Fourth street. TO THE cynic who sneers that great wealth is a burden easily gotten rid of it may be responded that Mrs. Sage is getting rid of hers as fast as she can reasonably be expected to.

She gave $30,000 in a lump to the Margaret Sage Industrial School for Girls and Boys at Inwood, L. 1., and has promised $5,000 a year endowment. She has pledged the National Suffrage association $5,000 a year for the next five years. She gave $15,000 for a memorial window in the First Presbyterian church of Syracuse, and various smaller sums to the Woman’s Exchange and the Pascal Institute. She financed the legislative movement against racetrack betting. She gave the relatives of Mr. Sage $650,000, doubling the bequests left them by him. She tips a number of the Central park laborers five dollars every New Year's. January 1, 1907, when she tipped 225 of them, was her largest bestowal of this kind. The Sage Foundation to “improve social and living conditions in the United States,” has financed, among other things, the playground and the anti-tuberculosis movements. June 20 last she gave a lawn party to 900 school children of Sag Harbor and personally superintended the distribution among then, of 1,000 bricks of ice cream and 500 pounds of cake. Nevertheless, a detective guard watches her groitids all the time; and when Sag Harbol celebrated the opening of the new jschool building for which Mrs. Sag(3gave the money they assured her th» if she would attend a special guard mould be provided fother for the day it the city’s expense.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION The increased use of whiskey for ante back rheumatism is causing coniiderable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: To one-half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring.” Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist.
