LYMAN J. GAGE, SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.

Lyman J. Gage, the man who is to
succeed John G. Carlisle as secretary of
the treasury is well known and pic
turesque character in the middle west
He is a man of energy as well as ideas,
and, though he has lived go years. he
can hardly be called old.
Mr.. Gage was born at Deruyter, N.
Y, June 20, 1886. His parents were
also New Workers, and their ancestors
were among the first settlers of New
England. The father of Lyman Gage
was farmer and afterward a merchant
in a small way.
In 1916 the elder Gage moved with
his family to Rome, N. Y, and there
Lyman attended school until he was 10
years old. At that time the Gage family
was so large that Lyman thought it
would be best for him to begin to make
his own way, so he secured a clerkship
in a country postoffite. Within a year
he was promoted to the position of mail
agent on the Rome and Watertown rail
road In 1856 he withdrew from the
railroad and took a position i'll the
Oneida Central bank at Rome. Here he
acted as junior clerk, Office boy and gen
eral factotum at a salary of 500 year.
After serving his employers in this Ca
pacity for year or more young Gage
asked for an advance of salary. This
being refused, he threw up his position.
and, acting on an idea which he had
long entertained, started west.
Chicago was the objective point which
young Gage had in his mind. Thither
he made his way, arriving Oct 3, 1855.
His efforts to get employment in
bank were fruitless, and so he applied at
Nathan Coles lumber yard and obtained
work there. 1t was hard labor. He load
ed wagons, steered his logs against cir
cular saws and now and then took his
turn at driving a team of balky mules
The pay was small, and the hours were
long After awhile he was promoted to
the position of night Waterman and put
in the long hours between sunset and
sunrise patrolling the yard to prevent
fires and thefts. A year later he became
bookkeeper of the concern.
His first step in the remarkable ascent
be made tc fame and prosperity was
taken Aug. 3, 1853. He had been quiet
1y looking out for employment in which
his special talents could have chance
to develop On the day named he walk
ed into the Merchants Savings, Loan
and Trust Company bank and asked the
cashier for position. To his JOY and
establishment, his application was look
ed upon with favor. They were needing
Che services of a bookkeeper and would
give Gage trial at $500 year.
1t was an humble beginning, but it
was all Gage wanted. His promotions
began within six months. At the end of
that period he was made paying teller.
In this position he displayed many OF
the talents which have made him IA
NOUS Not long afterward he became as

HON. JOHN D. LONG, SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY.

Ex-Governor John ID. Long of Massa-
chusetts, who takes control of Uncle
Sam s war fleets and attend to the other
duties devolving upon the secretary of
the navy, is one of the most prominent
of the public men of the Bay State
John Davis Long was born at Buck
field, Me-, Oct 27, 1888. He was pre-
pared for College at Hebron, Me-, and
entered Harvard at the age of IA. He
made f-l.uunt record at college and
showed par ."ularly as a poet, "a gentle
art which L., has practic"d as pastime
occasionlLy il later years. After his
graduation Lom Harvard in 1857, he

ture trcm the Second Plymouth district.
His election followed. In 1876 he was
reelected to the house and was after
ward chosen speaker. In this position he
was very popular, and his reflections
i'll 1877 and 1878 were by such great
majOrities as to surprise everybody.
In 1878 he was elected lieutenant gov
ernor of Massachusetts, and III 1879 he
was chosen governor by plurality of
more than $4,000 votes and in 1880
was reelected by plurality of 90, 900
votes. This extraordinarily large vote
was regarded as an ovation.
After he had, by election and re-elec-
ton, served as governor until January,
1888, he was elected to the Forty eighth
congress. He was returned to his seat in
the lower house for two more terms
the Forty ninth and Fiftieth congresses.
After his decision to retire from public
life he returned to the practice of the
law, wherein his success has been phe-
nomenaL.
During all the time of his arduous
public labors Mr.. Long continued to
indulge his taste for literature and to
keep pace with the march of science and
art He is many sided man. He has
not only published a scholarly transla-
ton of Virgil's 'Eneid, " but has con-
tributed to current literature many
choice bits of original verse of truly
classic quality. He is also said to be
connoisseur of art in all its forms of ex-
preston.

COLONEL JOHN j. M'COOK, ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Colonel John J. McCook, the man
designated by Mr.. Mckinley for the Of
fee of attorney general, is one of the
fighting McCooks of Ohio who fought
for the Union throughout the civil war
There were nine of these McCooks.
Eight of them were brothers, the other
was Major Daniel McCoOk, father of
the eight.
Colonel John j. McCook was born at
Carrollton, O., May %, 1845 When
the war Lroke out, he was a student at
Kenyon college, and at the beginning Of
his freshman year he enlisted in the
Sixth Ohio cavalry. Soon after passing
his seventeenth birthday he was pro-
NOTED to a first lieutenantcy and was
assigned to duty ON the staff of General
Thomas l.. Crittenden, commanding a
corps OF the Army of the Ohio which
subsequently became the Twenty first
corps of the Army of the Cumberland.
He served in the campaigns of Perry
vile, Storm River, Tullahoma, Chatta-
nooga and Chickamauga and was with
General Grant in his campaign with the
Army of the Potomac from the battle of
the Wilderness to the crossing of the
James river. He was commissioned a
captain and aid-de-camp of United
States volunteers in September, 1868,
and was brevetted major of volunteers
for gallant and meritorious service in
action at Shady Grove, Va, where he
was dangerously wounded. In the same
campaign he was afterward made lieu
tenant colonel and colonel for the same
reasons. 1t was once said of him by a
friend who knows him well, This boy
soldier-not over 90 years of age when
the war closed-showed at every step of
his military career the splendid dash of
an enthusiast and the iron courage of
veteran.
At the close of the war Colonel Nc
Cook returned to Kenyon college, where
he received the degrees of bachelor of
arts in 1866 and master Of arts three
years later. Not content with a mere
academic education, he turned his at
tention to the law and entered the Har-
ward Law school, from which institution
he graduated with honor in 1869. -Four
years later he received the honorary de- |
gree of master of arts from Princeton.
In 1890 the University of Kansas, which
