ROESCH, Proprietor.
I Like many of the multi-millionaires of
America. Russell Saee. the "father of
puts and calls," began life a poor boy.
He was born in Oneida cour.ty, New York
August 4. 1 8 1 6. His father, Henry Sage,
was a laborer and unable to give Russell
more than a meagre . education. At the
age of nine he was thrown upon his own
resources and went to Troy in search of
employment. After a succession of hard
ships common to the boys of the street he
secured a place in a grocery store. After
a few years of earnest work he rose in the
estimate of his employers, and at the age
of 20 was given a position of trust. In
1859 he entered business for himself.
About the same time he married Miss
Anna Carman, daughter of one of the rich
men of Troy.
At that time, also, Mr. Sage took an
active interest in the politics of Troy. In
1841 he was elected an alderman, which
office he held until 1848. He also served
seven years as county treasurer. In his
early life Mr. Sage was an ardent Whig
politically and was elected to congress as
a representative of that party in 1 853
and served until 1857. He was the first
on the floor of congress to advocate the
purchase of Mount Vernon by the govern
ment.
Mr. Sage's first venture in railroad and
financial circles was as a director and
associated with Thurlow Weed in the
Hudson & Mohawk railroad running from
retire-
ew
York and entered Wall street as a spec
ulator. He was thejnventor of the scheme
of selling privilages or "puts and calls"
At the same time he became interested
in railroads and secured stock in western
lines notably Milwaukee and St. Paul of
which he was president and vice-president
for twelve years. By disposing of these
investments as the smaller roads became
absorbed by trunk lines he rapidly became
wealthy. In later years he was closely
associated with Gould in the management
of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific, the
Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas
and the Texas, the Delaware Lackawanna
and the St. Louis and San Francisco
railroads the American Cable company
and the Manhattan consolidated system
of railroads in New York city in all of
which corporations he served as a director
i nuasun at muuawK raiuuau iuiiiuuk iiu
J I Albany to Schnectady. Upon his retin
I ment from congress he removed to Ne
He was also a director in several banks.
Mr. Saee had lived in New York but a
few years when his wife died. The
blow almost prostrated him and it was
some time before he returned to the field
of finance. For years he continued to
devote his entire attention to business
with neither wife nor children. Event
ually he married Miss Marguerita Slocum
who survives him. ,
Mr. Sage's great reputation was that
of an economizer. He often declared
that ten dollars was enough for any man
to pay for a suit of clothes and that a 50
cent straw hat should be worn at least
two seasons. And he religiously practic
ed what he preached. He never smoked
and his only stimulant in recent years
was a thimbleful of whisky just before
retiring. He had but one great hobby
to own and drive fast roadsters. When
his wife and physician persuaded him.
after his serious illness in 1905. to grad
ually relinguish the active management
of his business, he could be seen every
afternoon, save Sunday, driving behind a
handsome pair of horses in Central park.
The past few years he resided on Fifth
Avenue opposite St. Patrick's cathedral.
Previous to that he had lived for many
years in an ordinary brown stone fron
mansion on the avenue just above Forty-
second street.
Up to the time when he was fast ap
proaching his ninetieth year Mr. Sage
kept in his harness. All the stories told
about his taking no vacation, having ro
days off." working on holidays as
business days, were true.
