LYMAN JUDSON GAGE.
Biographical Sketch Of the Next
Secretary of the Treasury.
He Is Native of New York State and
Came to Chicago In 1S55-His Bril-
liant Success as n FlnancIer
and RefOrmer.

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 IA
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 %,
1886. When he was ten years old his
family removed to Rome, Oneida coun-
ty, n. V, where at the age of II he be-
gan his career as financier by aSsum-
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 row stands.
He did not shove lumber long, however
His natural capabilities soon secured
him a position in the Office, and in 1883
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 reorganized in 1882, its capital
being increased to 100000, and Mr..
Gage was elected vice president. In
1891, on the retirement of s. NJ. Nicker-

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 a 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 location he took an
active and effective part. His selection
as president of the board of directors
was 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 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 mistake had been made
Within a 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 a 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 q member of the Chicago and
Union League clubs, and lives at 40
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

Dynamite Being Used To Blow Her To
Pieces In The River Bed.
New Orleans, Feb. 15.-Dynamite is
being used to compel the river to give
up it's dead. A tug in the employ of
the Daily Item has located the wreck
of the sunken yacht Argo, which went
down in the collision with the Albert
DumOis two weeks ago, carrying with
her two reporters of the Picayune
Messrs. Blessine and Hester. The wreck
was located at the old Salt works. An
attempt was made to blow up the
wreck, but the charge sent down was
not heavy enough and only pieces of
the yachts cabin f1oated to the top.
Heavier discharges are now being US
ed, and it is expected that the boat
will be blown to pieces and that the
bodies of the two unfortunate young
men If they are in the cabin. will come
to the top.
AS soon as the Picayune received
news that the wreck had been located
the management sent down the tug
Ella Andrews to the scene. Two cas-
kets were taken along in case the
bodies were found. The Andrews will

blowing up the wreck.
A telegram has been received by the
Item which stated that a heavy fog
prevailed over the river at the scene Of
the wreck, and that the diver was hav-
ing considerable difficulty in locating
his dynamite.
The Argo above referred to was the
beautiful little steam yacht which
piled between Rockport and Corpus
Christi as a pleasure craft last sum-
mer, from which place It was taken to
New Orleans, business at Corpus Chris
ii not proving profitable. 1t was
greatly admired when on our coast by
all who saw it, especially San Anton
ians, who took advantage Of the cheap
excursions last summer to visit the
coast.

DR.. Julius Stein and His Christian WIFE
Part Company.

Mrs. Lucy Stein brought a suit for separation
from her husband, DIR. Julius stein. In the SUE
preme Court before Justice Bcekman yesterday.
She complained that her husband left her to
live with his mother and sister. but always sup
ported her. DIR. Stein lives at 3i3 East Fourth
street.
Mrs. Stein said that the contention between
them arose from tho fact that she was a Chris.
tian and he an orthodox jew. He told her that
he had disgraced himself with his family by
marrying her and that he could not be expected
to live with the one who had caused the dis
grace. She went to her mother.in.law's house
TO demand recognition as the Doctors wife, but
was ordered away.
Justice Beck man said that the parties ought
to be reconciled.
The Doctor is not n bad man. is no Z" asked
Lawyer Grossman,
Yes. he is" said Mrs. Stein; The will not
live with me because | am a Christian"
You knew that he and his family were
orthodox Jews when you married, did you not -
Yes. but that made no difference. He should
live with me and not with his mother"
After a consultation between the lawyers the
parties agreed to livs apart without n decree,
and the Doctor agreed to support his wife.

SNAKES ~ IR ".
Thirty.nve OF Them Found alternating In
% Post Hole.

One OF the men working on tho grounds that
surround the residence OF Mrs. Samuel NJ.
Hamill. 40 Bellevue avenue. In the heart Of
Trenton, n. j.. unearthed u large num Der Of
snakes last Monday. A fence which separated
Mrs. Hamill's grounds from the grounds OF her
neighoor was being repaired.
An old rotten post was removed. and In the
hole, about two and one-half feet deep. were
found a large number Of snakes. The snakes
were scooped out with q shovel and placed In q
box. There were big snakes, two feet long. and
little snakes. Some OF them were milk snakes
and some garter snakes. Thirty-five snakes
were put in the box.
They were oil in a, torpid state. and could
hardly move. When they were taken into the
house and placed by n fire they hogan gradually
to grow lively and TO crawl ont OF tho box. To
have n lot OF snakes crawling over the floor was
objectionable. ana so they were hustled out In
the cold again. aud after becoming "etherized."
as II were. by the winter air, they were all
killed.
Tie interesting feature of the discovery was
that while the grounds are large. yet the grass
Is always kent close cut and no SNAKES arc
found there In summer. All the snakes In tho
neiGhhorhood must have gone into winter quar-
tiers In that post hole.

Admirais brown, Walker. and Ramsay DO
Not Wish TO he Retired ut d.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-There are three officers
in the navy who believe they should not be
forced to retire during the next five months.
even though tho law says that sixty-two years
is the limit OF active service. They are Admit
rails Brown. Walker. and Ramsay. the senior
men OF the whole navy. and each we'll known in
tho service and conspicuous for valuable ser
vices rendered. Admiral Brown comes from
Indiana and now commands the Norfolk Navy
Yard. He Is especially sensitive over the criti-
cisms Of the Texas, which was built under his
miral Gherradi when he commanded the Ameri-
can feet during the naval review. Admiral
Walker Is now on the Pacific coast to deter
mine the best deep sea harDor, and Admiral
Ramsay commands the navy rs head OF tho
Navigation Bureau.
All Of these officers are as alert as many
OF their juniors by ten years. and are regarded
a. the most capable men OF the higher grades.
They would all prefer remaining In active scr
vice, but " any attempt Is made to secure spe-
cial leg .slation In their favor opposition will be
sure To follow from the lower grades, unless the
number OF Admirals IL increased and there Is
no interference in promotions.
The friends of these Admirals are thinking Of
asking Congress to give them tho thanks or that
body. which would carry with II the privilege OF
remaining In active service until death, or elso
TO extend the time OF their stay In harness Ave
years. Admiral Walker retires In April. Ad-
miral Ramsay q few days later, and Admiral
Brown In July. Admiral Ramsay is tho only
one OF the three who has never commanded n
feet and but one frst-class modern cruiser:
the navy, and is regarded as the finest fleet COM
mAnder In the service.
