DRYDEN'S PRIVILEGE.
Dryden rose to a question of privilege.
He stated that the Cuban resolutions
had been put through during his alb
sence from illness on Wednesday and
that the act was one of discourtesy to
him, inasmuch as he had stated that he
had a minority report from the Com
mittee on Federal Relations on that
subject. Dryden said that he did not
mind so much about his report as the
result would have been the same any
way, but he did want to go on record
as protesting against such a weak,
unmanly cowardly, namby- -pamby,
good for nothing resolution" as the one
that had been adopted. Dryden pro-
ceeded to give his views at some length
on the duty of the United States in the
Cuban matter and propounded the un-
answerable conundrum, IF some ma
ton had treated our forefathers in the
way we are treating Cuba, where would
we be?'
In answer to this Dibble rose to a
point of order and declared that Dry
den was going outside of his privilege
and was making a speech. The Speaker
upheld the point of order and explained
that he had understood the situation
yesterday and had fully intended to ac-
cord Dryden every courtesy, but the
matter had been carried during his alb
sence from the chair by misunder-
standing
Emmons, who had been in the chair,
explained that he had no knowledge Of
the arrangement with Dryden or ne
should certainly not have allowed the
resolution to go through at that time.
He believed courtesy to Dryden de-
manded a suspension of rules and that
Dryden should be allowed a motion to
reconsider. The result was that A. ].

NsWtonls sWitch Yards.
From tho Newton Republican.

From the Newton Republican.
With but two exceptions Newton has
or will have in short time, the largest
switchyards ON the Santa Fe system.
1t will have the largest switch yards used
In handling freight business. The yards
at Topeka are larger, but the greater
portion of them is taken up with repair
and shop tracks and are not used for
switching purposes. The yards here are
wholly, with the exception OF ten short
repair tracks, used for switching pur-
poses and for the handling of trains
When all the contemplated tracks are
put in, Newton will have one Of the
largest switchyards in the West; the sec
ond largest on the Santa Fe system
There Is a total car capacity Of the
Newton yards of about 2,465.
A number Of other towns on the sys-
tenn have large switchyards, but Newton
shows the largest growth In short time,
The other yards on the system are;
Hutchinson, 1854 cars; Dodge City,
1923; Emporia, 1885; La Junta, 1924;
Fort Madison, 1,2S5; Arkansas City,
$50.
Argentine has somewhat larger yard
than this city. The yard there will ac-
commodate 1900 cars. The great length
of the yards in that city are mainly used
in unloading stock Argentine has the
largest yard on the Santa Fe system ac-
tually used in freight business, Newton
comes second and probably Topeka

Amusing Chinese Custom.

A stranger on walking through the
streets of China for the first time is
puzzled, among other things, by the
appearance of jars in various positions
ON the roofs of the houses. On inquiry
he learns that jar placed with its bot
tom end toward the street indicates
that the daughter of the house is not
yet of age TO marry. As soon as she has
developed into a marriageable maiden
the jar is turned with its mouth to the
street; when the young lady gets mar
ried the jar is removed altogether.

actions caused him to be raised to the
rank of colonel. In 1872 he, in conjunc-
tion with Gen. Garcia, took Holguin.
At the time when Commander in Chief
Agramonte ordered him to move his
forces into Puerto Principe he was
made brigadier general, and it was in
this last-named province that he dis
played such vigor in warfare that the
surname of "The Terror" was given to
him by the Spaniards. The battles of
Palo Seco and Las Guisamas were the
most important actions of this period
in which he commanded. Maxine
Gomez and his soldiers invaded the
province of Santa Clara in 1874 and
pushed their way as far as Cienfuegos;
the Spanish Gen. Jovellar was defeated
at Iona del Gibaro. When Gen. Agra
monte died Gomez became commander
IN chief Of the CGban forces, having
meanwhile been promoted to the ranl
of major general When the revolution
was brought to an end by the treaty OF

When Jose MART, at the end of 16 years,
organized another uprising in the cause
of Cuba's freedom Gen. Gomez again
came to the front. His arrival in Guam

the battle of Arroyo Hondo, in April,
1895. Under his able leadership battle

handle the Cuban revolutionary army
in superb fashion, his men put absolute
fifth in their leader and the efficiency
of his strategy and tactics is such that
he has been called Cuban Hannibal.

son, Mr.. Gage succeeded him as presi-
dent of the bank.
During the first year of the worlds
fairs corporate existence no more po-
tential influence directed it's policy
than that of Mr.. Gage. He was mem
Der Of the committee that went to
Washington to secure the fair for Chi
cago, and in the bitter fight that pre-
coded the choice of a location he took an
active and effective part. His selection
as president of the board of directors
was a just recognition of his exception
al abilities and high personal worth.
Mr. Cages wisdom and firmness saved
the worlds fair from early disaster.
In the fight between the advocates of
Jackson park and the lake front a ma
jority of the directors voted in favor Of
the latter site, thus opposing the views
of the national commission.
President Gage promptly rendered
his resignation, saying he was not in
sympathy with the plan for which the
directors had voted, and that he thought
they should have a president whose
policy accorded with their own. He
retired from the chair, and the directors
realized that a mistake had been made.
Within few minutes the lake front
resolution was reconsidered and Jack
son park selected as the site. Mr.. Gage
resigned the presidency of the worlds
fair to become president of the First
national bank.
Mr.. Gage has been leading spirit in
the movement for municipal reform.
He has served two terms as president of
the Civic federation, and was one of the
organizers of the Citizens league.
Among other positions of trust and
honor which he has filled are those of
president of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION, treasurer of the Art institute
and president of the Commercial club.
He is member of the Chicago and
Union League clubs, and lives at 47O
North State street.
Mr.. Gage has been twice married;
first in 1864 to Miss Sarah Etheridge, of
Little Falls, N. Y. She died in 1874, and
in 1887 he married Cornelia Gage, of
Denver, Col.

LYMAN JUDSoN GAGE

Came % Chicago Ia 1855-lIis Bril-
liant Success AZ a Flnancier
and Ref0rmer.

NO man in Chicago is more promi-
nent nor more generally admired and
respected than Lyman j. Gage. AS the
early president of the Worlds Column
bian exposition his name became a fa-
miliar one in all quarters of the globe,
and as the controlling genius of one Of
the greatest financial institutions in the
nation he obtained the confidence of
commercial magnates to an extent that
is practically without limit.
Lyman Judson Gage was born at De
Ruyter, Madison county, N. Y, June 20,
1886. When he was ten years old his
family removed to Rome, Oneida coun-
ty, N. Y, where at the age Of II he he
gan his career as fnancier by ASSUME
ing the duties of Office boy and clerk in
the Oneida Central bank. In 1855 he
came to Chicago to seek his fortune.
Finding no ready clerical employment
he went to work in Cobb's planning mill,
where the Union depot now stands.
He did not shove lumber long, however.
His natural capabilities soon secured
him position in the office, and in 1858
he reentered the banking business by
becoming a bookkeeper for the Mer-
chants Saving, Loan and Trust COM
pany. Within a year he was the pay
ing teller of that concern. In 1860 he
was assistant cashier, and cashier in
1861.
When the Chicago clearing house was
organized Mr.. Gage was offered the
management. He declined the position,
but undertook its duties until the
project was fairly launched.
Mr.. Cages connection with the First
national bank began in 1868, when he
was appointed cashier. Under his
active management the bank prospered.
1t was recognized in 1882, its capital
being increased to 100000, and Mr..
Gage was elected vice president. In

Practical Utility.

If, rs YOU have occasionally been told,
the man who makes warfare more ter
rible is at the same time lessening the
chances Of its outbreal, among ci"iized
nations. Mr.. Hiram S. Maxim Should
be regarded as having a prescriptive
right to an honorary vice presidency Of
the Peace society. Here you have pcr-
trait of his new light automatic gun.
The weapon weighs but 25 pounds, ant
is mounted on a tripod weighing Is.
1t fires at the enormous rate of 600
rounds a minute, and has made as many
as 90 per cent. of hits at 1000 yards.
1t may be packed in a knapsack, with
tripod, spare lock, spare parts, and inn
Elements, and carried on mans back,
the total weight being 53h pounds.
Or it may be packed for the use of cav
airy. The weight is then So pounds,
the gun being carried on the right side
of the horse, the ammunition on the
other. The enormous utility of n
weapon of this sort, says London Black
and White, especially in such little
wars as Britain is compelled to under
take on the borders of her possessions
in India and in Africa, is too obvious to
require comment incidentally in in
Producing it to the public notice, Mr..
Maxim deals with the question what
is the Colt system of automatic fire
arms?" and answers, boldly, "The pis-
ton system, patented by Hiram S. Max
i'm in 1884" He even goes so far as to
use language like the famous chapter
on snakes in Iceland, and to say There
is no Colt system of automatic guns"
In 1SS3-s4 MIR. Maxim conducted ex-
haustiye experiments to ascertain the
best possible system Of making an auto
matte gun and took out patents on vari-
Gus systems. OF these the three leading
ideas may be described in the creators
own words /. "Guns in which barrel

1900 acres which he now owns in Tama
county. This place may well be termed
tile "garden spot" of Iowa, for there is
probably not another farm in the state
so well improved in all respects. For
many years he was a breeder of fancy
cattle, and in that business he has made
a competence. His home life has been

many privileges not accorded the ordi-
nary farmers family. Two of his sons,

Mr.. Wilson was a member of the
Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth
general assemblies of Iowa, has been
state railroad commissioner, president
OF the State Temperance alliance, and
has held many other important public
offices in the state. In 1874 he was
elected to the United States congress
from the Fifth Iowa district, and was
returned to the house in 1876. In 1892
he was again a candidate, defeating the

day Of the term in 1885 when he stepped
down and allowed Mr.. Fredericks 10

the house should pass the bill to place
Gen. L. S. Grant upon the retired list.
This bill could not be passed until the
contest was disposed of, which was
done during the last IS minutes of the
session.
Mr.. Wilson has also been engaged in
the newspaper business, becoming edi-
tor of the Traer Clipper in 1881, his
partner in the business being James
Morrison now of Washington, d. c. He
managed the paper and farm at the
same time, but soon sold his newspaper
business, which had become very profit
able. As a student and scholar Mr.. Viii

die west. For several years he has
been professor of agriculture in the
state school at Ames, and in connection
with his other duties has edited farm
