The Charming Wife of the Next Secretary
Of the Treasury.

Mrs. Lyman j. Gage is a charming,
gray haired matron, whose name is much
more familiar To people outside her own
large circle Of friends than are hor fea-
lures. Until the probability of hcr hus-
bands acceptance of the national treasury
portfolio at last convinced her tho public
might be interested her likeness never has
appeared in a newspaper.
Under d mass of beautiful gray hair, her
face, like her husbands, is as devoid Of
wrinkles and marks of worry as "a young
matron of 20 with the same bright pros
poets might be expected to be. Before her
marriage II years ago TO Mr.. Gage she and
her daughter, who is now Mrs. b. r.
Pierce Of Barry avenue, Lake View, had
spent much Of their time travelling, and,
with the additional culture that comes
from wide reading, Mrs. Gage is a delight
full conversationalist. Mrs. Gage formerly
was Miss Cornelia Washburu of Albany.
In a quiet way Mr.. and Mrs. Gage are
noted as crtortainers. An invitation to q
dinner or a whist party, or to the two nm
blned-a popular form of entertainment
ut the Gage residences a coveted social
boon and one which the large circle Of
friends of both frequently enjoy. Whist is
MIR. Cages greatest evening amusement,
and the game is just as popular with his
wife. Both are frequently seen at the
theaters.
Mrs. Gage is not a member of any club,
nor is she particularly interested in the
new woman. She and her husband are
members and regular attendants at the
Central church, with which they allied
themselves under the pastorate Of Professor
Swing. Both are lovers of good music,
but neither has ever learned to play.
When the next secretary of the treasury
caught the bicycle fever last summer, he
carried his new machine along with him
to Saratoga, where he learned to ride with
out fear Of having his falls depicted by
newspaper artists. Previously he had driv-
en- a great deal with his wife after banking
hours, and when, on the return to Chicago
after his summer vacation, Mrs. Gage was
compelled to follow her husbands bike
In a brougham, she decided that she had
contracted the bicycle fever also. 1t was
too late in the season to learn then, how
ever, and so Mrs. Gage postponed the first
lesson till next spring.-Chicago Tribune.

TRAMPS JAILED.
Charged with Robbing a House on Cherr,
street.

Between the hours of fvo and six o'clock
this morning the house Of Edward J. Bren-
nan, ON West Cherry street, was robbed Of
two overcoats, and undercoat, q hat and a
gold ring. Thomas Brennan and Patrick
Cooncy, members of Che family, went to q
shanty ON the rock bank of the West Shenau-
doab %coliery, where tamps frequently as.
semble, and there found three tramps. 1t wa
learned that one Of the tramps had torn
the sleeves from Cooney's coat and was wear
ing the body as a vest. Constable Dando was
given a warrant and made o raid on the
shanty with Policeman Goodman. James
McBmdy, Harry Dooliug and Joseph Urich,
three dirty, vicious looking specimens of the
knights of the road, were taken into custody
and a%rraigned before Justice Cardin. Dool-
ing, who was wearing the improvised vest,
said he found Cooney's coat hanging on q nail
IN the shanty on the rock bank. Dooling
and McBrady were quite laxative and tried
to make arguments showing they were inno-
cent, The third tramp, Urich, had nothing
to say. Justice Cardin committed the trio
TO Jail for trial. As McBBdy left with the
officers be declared he would return 70
Shenandoah in the near future and prove his
innocence to the people of the town.

Carson City, New, Feb, 5.-The dis
patch from San Francisco announcing
that United States Judge McKenna
and others had declared that the fed
eral government had no right to in
terfere and prevent the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight in Nevada has caused
great rejoicing here. Nothing now
stands between Carson and the great
pugilistic event that win bring thou
sands Of visitors and thousands OF
dollars to the city. Virginia City is
putting in a strong bid for the fight,
Offering $4,000 cash, but the fighters
viii not consent TO fight at such a

LANaLBYs FLYING MACHINE.


1t Has Nearly Doubled the Flight of May
16, when 1t Went over Half a Mile.
The report OF Professor Langley, score
tary of the Smithsonian institution, just
submitted to the board of regents, contains
the following about his flying machine;
"Thc Waiter mas dv-ing the intervals of
his official duties continued to experiment
in this manner until he has reached q
measure Of success which seems to justify
him in making the statement here that
mechanical flight has now been attained.
On May 10 last a mechanism built chiefly
of steel and driven by a steam engine made
two flights of over half a mile. Since that
time this result has been nearly doubled.
In each case there was no support from gas.
The machine was a thousand or more times
heavier han the air i'm which it was made
to move. DR.. Alexander Graham Bell wit
messed the first of these and communicated
the statements Of results to the Academy
of France. This, of course, has been be-
fore the scientific world. 1 do not know
how far interest in this work may bias my
Judgment, but it appears to me that in
these things, the final accomplishment of
which has come uuder the charge Of the
Smithsonian institution, it has made a
contribution to The utilities Of the world
which will De memorable.

WHY THEY CONTEST.
The Government Really Oniers a premium
to Defeated Candidates.

The Government Really Offers "a Premium
to Defeated Candidates.
One explanation Of the number Of CON
tests in the present congress, as made by a
member of the elections committee, is that
they were due in some instances to the
hard times. Representative Strobe of Ne
braska had this explanation to make of it:
"Ihe government, F" said he, REALLY
offers a premium TO a defeated candidate
to make a contest. 1t is generally known
all over the country that congress allows a
contestant all his expenses for coming to
Washington, provided they do not exceed
81, 200. This is a good round sum for
many a country lawyer who has come
within q few hundred of being elected con-
gresham, and enough to enable him to
live quite comfortably in Washington for
some time. Times being hard, business is
dull, and the lawyer selzes upon the idea
Of a contest with ayidity. The trip to
Washington gives him a reputation at
home and enhances his opportunities to
make money. These may be matters of
consideration rather than any hope of get
ting the scat i'm congress to which the con-
testant lays claim. n-Washiugton Post.
