HANSEN CAUSES JORDAN'S ARREST Butcher Claims to Have Identified the Man Who Robbed Him Last December. Chris Hansen, a butcher at 414 East Sixth avenue, yesterdya identified a man giving his name as W. J. Jordan, as the man who robbed him in December last.

Jordan denied any knowledge of the robbery, but Hansen is firm in his identification. Hansen had been out late the night of the robbery and was home when a man pushed a his returning, face and ordered him to stand still. The highwayman proceeded to relieve Hansen of $5 in money, a gold watch and chain and a gold ring. This done, he backed off, keeping Hansen under cover of the weapon, until he arrived opposite an alley down which he flitted and disappeared. Mr.

Hansen reported the robbery at the time, but no arrests were made. Yesterday morning he was standing in his shop on East Sixth, with his back to the counter, when a stranger entered and approaching Charles Stout, a clerk, asked for some steak. The instant he heard his voice Mr. Hansen turned quickly about. He thought he had heard that voice once only, and looking the man over.

Hansen was perfectly satisfied he was none other than the lone highwayman. So certain was Mr. Hansen of the identity of the man that he went to the police station, related his story and swore out an information for the arrest of the stranger on the charge of highway robbery. The man manifested no nervousness when he was placed under arrest, but beyond stating that his name was W. J.

Jordan and that he came to the city recently from Oklahoma, he declined to talk about himself or to give the officers any insight into his past. He admitted being in the city about the time the robbery was perpetrated, but denied any knowledge of the crime. He will be given a hearing in police court October 3.

AMUSEMENTS. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the marvel of American theatricals. No other piay can equal its hardiness nor endurance. It has continuously and prosperously held the stage since its first production, before the civil war, and although persistently maltreated incompetent acting, sneered and laughed at, it has continued to thrive until the present day. Nor is there any of waning.

Cats and Parrots at Their Summer Home at Lawrence, Long Island. New York Herald: Wall street men would not recognize Russell Sage at this country home. Indeed, it may be said, that there are two Russell Sages. One the Russell Sage familiar to New York--the the financier railroad manager, the banker, with more ready cash at his disposal than, perhaps, any other man in the United States. But Russell Sage, the country gentleman, is an altogether different kind of character.

In Wall street he is all business. In his country home at Lawrence, L. he is a man of leisure. People, who know him as the close and accurate financier, with no time to waste, and little or no sympathy for the every day amusements of the Wall street man, have come to believe that this is the only life he leads; that his evenings are given to calculation and his leisure hours to figuring out possible profits. Somehow or other this idea of Russell Sage has, spread from Wall street all through York Indeed, the average New Yorker expresses surprise when informed that Russell Sage has a country home.

The relaxations and amusments offered by the country are supposed to be quite foreign to his character. As a matter of fact, there is hardly a in Wall street who more thoroughly enjoys the quiet simplicity and restfulness of a country life. Mr. Sage occupies a handsome but simple frame house at Lawrence, L. I.

It is surounded by some five acres of land, spreading shade trees, cool and grateful lawns, and having numerous box hedges, which afford much relief to the wearied eye of the tired Wall street man. In his quiet retreat Mr. Sage has enjoyed his summers for many years. A large stable is back of the house. Nearly half a dozen horses are kept there.

Mr. Sage takes great pride in the colts now in his stable. He raises them himself, and broke them to harness, and one of his principal amusements is driving them to a top buggy along the beautiful country roads surrounding Lawrence: He says he can do more with them than anybody else. For the costly fads affected in their country homes by many Wall street men Mr. Sage, as a common sense American.

has nothing but contempt. He has no use for orchids and places little value upon the exotics grown in conservatories. He likes the plain simplicity of the traditional farmer. Russell Sage as you see him, driving about Long Island, is a typical Long Island farmer. He wears an old straw hat and clothes that are selected for convenience rather than for style.

Mr. Sage displays all the exuberance of a boy in hitching up his horses and going out for a drive. He likes to talk about the With the eye of an expert he watches the development of every field from spring to summer within a radius of many miles about his country home. From the appearance of the fields and the condition of the live stock he realizes the degree of business talent possessed by the proprietor. Many a Long Island farmer struggling for a bare living and kicking against what he calls "the money power" could derive useful lessons in his own business from Russell Sage.

Even the village storekeepers of the Long Island towns, who are so voluble on economic subjects, might gather wisdom from this simple resident of Lawrence, who himself kept a small grocery store at Troy, N. and made money there in spite of fierce competition. Russell Sage is a commuter. He comes to town early and goes home late. During the summer his Fifth avenue residence is closed up.

Four or five servants are kept at his house in Lawrence. There is not on the whole of Long Island a country house where better housekeeping is to be seen. Mrs. Sage takes great pride in the management of her household and it affords every possible comfort. A frequent visitor here is Miss Helen Gould.

Falcon Whole Wheat Flour, Falcon Breakfast Food, Falcon Granular and Mrs. Sage have many things in common, especially concerning objecte of charity in which both are interested. Miss Gould never visits the Lawrence house without paying particular attention to its domestic pets. Of these there are a goodly number at the summer home of Russell Sage. At Lawrence are not only the cats, but all the other living lares and penates that Mr.

and Mrs. Sage dote on. Perhaps his colt and filly are Mr. Sage's favorites, though the handsome, full Maltese cats are a close second. grown Mrs.

Sage is devoted to her two parrots, Polly Gray and Polly Green, 80 called from their plumage. "At night when we are in town," said Mrs. Sage, a day or two ago, "Malta and Malieta get right up on the mantel over the open fireplace in the library and purr and purr on each side of the clock. If it wasn't for the purring, you'd think they were regular pieces of bisthey still. We think it just que, a pretty picture.

"The parrots are apt linguists and afford lots of amusement. In the morning when the maid comes into the room Polly Gray will call out, 'Good morning, Delia. Thank you for a Polly Gray has any apparent to be jealous of Polly Green she reason shrieks, 'You don't love me, Polly Green is a fine whistler. We had laugh the other day when a strollto ing organ grinder, came along and played some air, and Polly began to pipe out a few bars in Green imitation." Recently when Miss Helen Gould was visiting the Sages she persuaded Mr. Sage to pose with Malta and Malieta while she took some good photographs.

The parrots do not appeal to Mr. Sage as they do to his wife. He seems think them too frivolous, and their to chatter wholly inconsequential, though a very apropos remark squawked by Polly Gray or Polly Green will either often make Mr. Sage smile, while will be fairly convulsed with wife laughter. Mrs.

Sage recently fell while alighting from her carriage city, and during her enforced inactivity in the parrots have been a conher room stant source of diversion.
