LYMAN j, GAGE.

came merchant in a small way. There
Lyman went to school until he was IA,
when, as there was a large family, he
started out to make his own living. He
was first employed as a clerk in a coun-
try pOstoffice. Seeing little hope of adj
vancement, however, he left the employ
of Uncle Sam and entered the Oneida
Central bank at Rome. He began his
career as a banker in a very humble
way. His position was that of office
boy and junior clerk. His salary for the
first year was 800. He waited another
half year for a raise, but when it was
refused he resigned. He had the west
ern fever, and he started for Chicago.
With very little money, no friends
and one or two useless letters of intro
duction in his pocket he tramped for
many weary days about the streets of
the young metropolis Of the west, But
young Gage did not go to Chicago to
starve. Failing to get situation in a
bank, he took a job in a lumber yard,
and for more than a year worked as a
lumber "shover. - Then he was pro-
NOTED. He was made night Waterman.
Next he was taken into the Office and
made bookkeeper. A change in the firm
displaced him, however, and he once
more went to handling lumber.
All this time he kept haunting the
banks and asking for a position. Final
~ one bright day in 1858 he happened
into the Merchants Savings, Loan and
Trust company just when bookkeeper
was needed, and he was engaged at
salary of $500 a year. In six months he
was made paying teller and later as
sistant cashier. He remained with this
bank for ten years and then went to the
First National bank to fill similar po-
sition. Since then his progress upward
has been steady. In 1882 he was made
vice president of the First National,
and he was promoted to the presidency
in 1891.
During the more than 40 years of Mr..
Cages residence in Chicago he has
come to be recognized as public spir-
tied citizen in the full sense of that
much abused term Generally he has
appeared in the role of harmonizer.
On more than one occasion his calm,
conservative judgment has been need
ed 1eaven in the midst of crowd of
impetuous, hot headed enthusiasts. OF
this nature were his services in connec-
ton with the Worlds fair, and he is
credited with having saved that great
enterprise from being wrecked in a
storm of angry conflict between the ma
tional commissioners and the local di-
rectors, of whose board he served as
president. The list of his other public
services is too long to enumerate
Personally Mr.. Gage is a tall man,
whose commanding figure would be i'm

which glows from his eyes and his mild

DODGED THE LAW.
Wyoming Uncle and Niece Evade
Consan guinity Laws.

Douglas, Wyo, Feb. 16.-word has
been received here of the marriage on
February at Berlin, Germany, of Miss
Inez Richards, daughter of Hon. De
Forrest Richards of this place, to Bart
lett Richards of Chadron, Neb. Quite
bit of romance attaches to this mar
riage. The groom is the uncle of the
bride, being her fathers brother.
The laws of America forbid the mar
riage of relatives of this degree of con-
sanguinity, and as the principals were
determined to marry they went to Ger
many and acquired citizenship and
We're legally married. They will make
their future home in Chadron, where
Mr.. Richards has large stock and bank
ing interests. The marriage was at
tended by the parents of the bride and
by Mr.. E. c. Harris, superintendent of
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val
ley railroad, who is travelling in Europe.

EAST AGAINST WEST.
Eastern Republican Congressman OPP
pose Monetary Agreement Bill

Washington, Feb. 16.-The interest in
the senate bill for an international mon
etary conference deepens as the discus
sion before the house committee on
coinage continues. Half a dozen men,
bers of the house were on hand to speak
on the measure today. Those who desire
to see it reported. who include the free
silver members of the committee, fear
that it may be talked to death before
the session ends. Representative Quigg
of New York, announced that several
New York men desired to be heard on
the bill before the vote was taken and
desired postponement.
Would not you like to see it post
poned until after the 4th of March,"
asked Mr.. Hilborn of California.
Mr.. Quigg admitted that he would be
pleased at such a result.
Then you are not in favor of carry
ing out the Republican platform" Mr..
Hilborn said.
Il merely doubt the expediency of
passing this bill at this time replied
Mr.. Quigg and added that the New
York congressional delegation was
practically unanimous in opposition to
the bill.
Mr.. Fowler of New Jersey, of the
banking committee. continued his speech
against bimetallism.

ENGLISH wOMAN's RIGHTS.
The Bill in Parliament is Essentially
a Glass Measure.

London, Feb 16.-"There is no greater
triumph for liberal ideas in modern his
tory, said H. G. Thornburn who is in
the city, than the passage of the wo-
man suffrage bill to a second reading in
the British house of commons a few
days ago. do not think it will finally
pass, and hope it Will not for it simp-
~ eHab leS rich women to vote by Civ
ing the franchise only to those women
who nave certain property quaHfca-
ton, while the great mass of poor wo-
men who are most in need of the fran
chise are left out in the cold. If the av-
erage British politician was not so stol-
id and STEPPED in prejudice, this bill
would pass, as it would strengthen the
ruling classes, but it will be defeated,
and the ultimate result of this opening
wedge will be that the women of Great
Britain will be enfranchised.
My grandfather, Grant ThOrnburn of
New Haven, Conn, who was somewhat
noted in New England so years ago,
though only a plain English gardener.
was strong advocate of woman suf-
frage, and used to say that Great Brit
ain would be the first to give the suf-
frage to women. But that was his
British pride speaking. Though the
most liberal of men and one who sug-
gested many reforms which are now
accomplished facts, he could never
emancipate himself from the idea that
whatever of good to the human race
there might be in the future would
come from Great Britain, whereas we
know that Great Britain has been the
IHOSl persistent enemy Oh the ancient
communism under which the highest
type of individual independence was de-
velOped. In India, where the commun-
ity system exists in it's greatest purity,
the efforts of Great Britain have been
constantly directed toward the under
mining of the system, and the breaking
down of the individual independence
which it inculca ties, because the indie
pendence of the individual is antagonis-
tic to the ruling of a class We can
therefore not expect that women will
be granted the suffrage in England I'M
til the masses of the people have be-
come so well grounded in the principles
of true liberalism that they will forget
their prejudices. This will take time,
for while all reforms spring from the
roots of society, the influence of preju-
dice in the lower ranks and of repres-
sion in the upper will have the effect of
keeping back the growth of the plant.
But the seed is soWu and the fruit will
come in time"
