IN THE WORLD IS
CALLEDJ DEATH
Mr». Russell Sage, Who Inherited
Huge Fortune From Husband
Passes Away.
NEW YORK.—Mrs. Russell Sage
one of the richest women in the
world, died today. She was ninety
years old at the time of her death.
Margaret Olivia Sage, until she
reached middle life had only the
meagre income of a school teacher,
and then in a day she found herself
mistress of one of the greatest for
tunes in America. Her early days
were devoted to scraping together
enough money to give herself a fair
education, and her last were spent
in developing the science of giving
money away. During the last seven
years of complete stewardship of
the $70,000,000 left by her husband.
Russel! Sage, she returned nearly
$30,000,000 to the public by system
atic philanthropies.
“My Experience has taught me,”
she had said recently, "that success
ful people are those who take what
come to hand, and if it be small,
wait and work for something better.
The root of failure lies often in
the thought that you can do but one
thing and must do that or nothing.”
j This practical philosophy developed
when she was a girl in Syracuse, X.
Y-, her birthplace. Her father, Jo
seph Slocum, was so reduced in cir
cumstances by the panic of 1837
that the daughter at the age of only
nine years was obliged to help in the
upkeep of the household. At the age
of 16 she started for Mount Holyoke
College expecting to work her way
for four years by housework, but
sickness overtook her on her way
and she was compelled to stop at
; an uncle’s house in Troy. Later
j she was induced to enter Emma Wil
I lard's Seminary at Troy, and after
a har ’ battle for self-support she
{was piaduated and became a school
^' teacher. For nearly 20 years after
| ward she continued her battle, teach
‘ | ing schools in Philadelphia, Syra
j ! cuse and Troy until, at the age of
p' 41 years, she became the wife of
> Russell Sage, then a frugal banker
at Watervliet, X. Y.
Mrs. Sage was a little woman and
j extremely self-controlled She gave
{ and gave liberally, but so determined
I that her giving shou'd be done
1 j wisely that shortly aft?r her hus
• land’s death she tstabi'shed the
Russell Sage Foundation with ten
million dollars for the improvement
of social and living conditions in
the United States. Outside of this
she had made large gifts including
. ! one million dollars to the Emma W il
| lard Seminary, $1,000,000 to Rensse
| laer Polytechnic Institute, $150,000
to the Y. M. and Y. W C. A., $150,
t 000 to the American Seaman’s Insti
| tute, $150,000 to the Xorthfield,
I Mass. Seminary, $300,000 to the
| Sage Institute of Pathology of the
| Xew York City Hospital, $250,000
for a home for indigent women and
$100,000 to Syracuse University.
She was born September 8, 1828,
■ eighth in descent through her father
from Miles Standish, and on her ma
| ternal side a descendent of Col.
i! Henry Pierson, of Sag Harbor, X. Y.
| founder of the public school system
in America in 1787.

COMMITTEE MEET
TO DEVISE PLANS
FOR QUARANTINE
Wire Is Sent to Governor Riggs For
Aid In Establishment of a
Strict Quarantine. *
As agreed upon by the citizens
of Nenana at a mass meeting held
at the Coliseum immediately after
the show last Sunday night, regard
ing the question of establishing a
strict quarantine to prevent the in
fluenza epidemic from reaching Ne
nana. the meeting called by F. D
Browne, engineer in charge, was held
| at the townsite office last night, and
j the proper organization for hand
j ling the situation was formed,
j The meeting was called to order
j and with the following members
; present, F. D. Browne being chosen
i permanent chairman, and H. B.
|Joseph, secretary: Messrs R. S. Me
j Donald. James Hagen, F. D. Browne,
j H. B. Joseph .Harry Davis, Oscar
j Rothenburg, Carl Schmidt. Dr. D. H.
j More.
A general discussion was had re
garding the necessity for a quaran
tine, and on the advice of D~ D. H.
More, it was unanimously decided
that a quarantine should be estab
lished.
The question of ways and means
; was next discussed, two general plans
being finally considered; the first,
! the establishment of quarantine.
| stations at some point between Fair
! banks and Chitina, and one on the
j Broad Pass trail south of Nenana.
| The chairman talked with the
mayor of Fairbanks by telephone,
: and afterwards with Dr. Sutherland,
i the health officer of Fairbanks. Dr.
Sutherland stated that he had estab
lished a quaranine station on the
Valdez trail, at the nine mile road
house, and that they were keeping
in touch with the passenger travel,
in order to see that all passed thru
the nine-mile roadhouse station.
It was the consensus of opinion
of the committee that the nine-mile
station was not an effective quaran
tine, considered in all lights. As a
result of this it was moved by Joseph,
seconded by Hagan, that the chair
man wire Governor Riggs, asking
for the establishment of quarantine
stations in the Donnelly Hills on the
Valdez trail, and about forty miles
south of Nenana, on the Broad Pass
trail; carried.
The telegram as follows, was sent
immediately:
“Riggs, Juneau.
“Mass meeting last night followed
by committee meeting tonight de
mands rigorous quarantine against
all Outside. Have you any funds
will help to make quarantine effective
and will you take action to assist
in matter and give it publicity that
we do not want communication with
Outside while influenza is epidemic.
We suggest quarantine stations at or
near Donnellys and about forty miles
south of Nenana on Broad Pass trail.
Please advise.
BROWNE.”
The second question or plan, was
the establishment of a local quaran
tine around Nenana, and this wras
laid on the table pending an answer
from the Goveror which, if favor
able, would obviate the necessity of
a local quarantine.

SPACE IS PRECIOUS
On shipboard; we can ship much
energy in sugar; little in fruits and
vegetables.
In the soldier s kit; he can carry
sugar; he cannot pack fruits and
vegetables.
Fighters exhaust energy quickly;
the soldier in action needs 4,000 or
more calories daily; most of us
need much less.
