Mr.. Mills has always been an able
and ever ready advocate of republic an
principles. He is a logical speaker
and has served the local republican
cause faithfully.
1t is said that the consulate at Chi
huahua will soon be raised to a clas-
siication equal with that of Juarez and
that it will have some advantages over
same in some respects.
MIR. and Mrs. Mills both speak the
Spanish language fiuently so they will
not be at any disadvantage in that
respect.
The new consul for chihuahua has
earned his laurels. May ne wear them
with great satisfaction. His eXamina-
tion for the position was passed upon
by the assistant secretary as an excel
lent one, showing that not even the
civil service stood in his way.

ParkhurSt'S Talk.

NEW YORK, October '22.-Rev. DR..
Parkhurst's voice comes ripping over
the sea from Paris. The Journal TO-
day quotes him as saying: "Croker
and Platt are like dogs that have been
tic d up for three years with little o.
nothing to eat and are ravenous. They
would prefer to see the devil elected
mayor of New York rather than Seth
Low. AS between Platt and Croker,
the former is the worst, because Crok-
er would say reform be damned
whereas Platt would pretend to virtues
he had not. He left my church because
pr cached public sthics he did not re-
lish. l should prefer to see CrOker's
ticket elected tomorrow rather than
Platt'S.''

Il understand that the so-called
liberal ministers and the orthodox

the aged minister. ''It is indeed un-
fortunate that hairs should be split
over such a subject. Orthodoxy is

the expense of orthodoxy itself, but
both churches are working on the

salvation of man.
''The orthodoxy of twenty years ago
is vastly different from the orthodoxy

New York, Jan. 29.-There was a slight
increase In the volume of transactions at
the Stock Exchange today, the sales ioot-

of speculation was its firmness through
out the session, despite the sharp break
inthe coalers. The latter declined 2h for
Lackawanna and 1ai for Delaware ana

tails of the report of the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western were made known.
The report showed ad ehcit of $507 900, and
the road earned SOS per cent. on Its stock,
against 517 the previous year. Even the
depression in the coalers was of short
duration. and Lackawanna, and Delaware
and Hudson closed with net gains of hass
per cent, while Jersey Central lost II per
cent. The general list in the early trad
ing improved to the extent of Aalss per
cent, the latter in North Pacific Preferred,
which was bought freely for foreign ac-
count. Outside of Manhattan, which
broke points, the market remained
steady to weak. The Changers, General

ed business 1t was necessary to protect
it's property, and he became night
Waterman. He performed faithfully
and well the duty of the hour, and thus
proved his capacity for something bet
ter. His services as watchman con-
tinued only six weeks, for he was then
appointed bookkeeper, at $500 year,
for the Merchants Loan and Trust COM
pany.
Promotion thereafter was rapid. Next
year he became paying teller at $1,000
salary; in 1860 assistant cashier at a
salary of $4,000, and in 1861 cashier. In
1868 the directors of the First National
bank offered him the position of cashier
in that institution. and when the bank
was reorganized under its new charter
in 1882 he was elected vice president
and manager position which brought
him more directly in touch with the
prominent financiers of the country.
In 1891 he was elected president of the
bank after nine years of service as vice
president.
The accession of Mr.. Gage to the chief
executive office and his able mango
fnent confirmed the leadership of the
First National bank CT Chicago among
all the financial institutions of the West.
In 1852, and twice thereafter he was
elected president of the American Bank
ers' association.
When Chicago became a competitor
for the Worlds Columbian exposition
Mr.. Gage was chairman of the commit
tee sent to Washington in behalf of
that city. 1t was the assurance of four
Chicago men, of whom Mr.. Gage was
one, that Chicago could be relied upon
for ten million of dollars which salts
fled congress with regard to the World y
fair enterprise and finally secured the
exposition for Chicago. He was presi'
dent of the Columbus Exposition com
pany until April, 1890, but remained on
| the board of directors and presided at
the bankers congress at the fair.
Mr. Gage has been a Republican from
his early manhood, but has refused to
| surrender the right of private Judgment
and individual action by subscribing to
| a partisan creed which commands un-
varying allegiance in municipal affairs
He has always taken an intelligent in
terest in public questions, opposes sill
! Yer imitation, is a dilligent student OF
| financial questions, friend of the con-
| servative working classes and was
| chairman of the Central Relief associa-
tion formed in 1893 to relieve the distress
| of the unemployed. He is a man OF
genial disposition and fine personal ap-
| pearance.

In young and pushing city, he entered

Finding no opportunity for employ

its appointments are as luxurious and
complete as they can be made. In the
dining, compartment, drawing-room, IL
brary and observation cars, every modern
arrangement and contrivance contribut-

they have arranged to operate the
