The Next Secretary of the Treasury Speaks
 at 8 Farewell Dinner.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The Commercial club last night gave farewell dinner to Lyman J. Gage, the next secretary of the treasury, about 100 men prom inent in business circles being present. In the course of his speech MT. Gage said: "Wisely or unwisely, I have pleaded for toleration, for patience with misunderstand- ing, for broad citizenship, not limited to local surroundings; a citizen ship which welcomes business success, because it lends power and influence in the larger social life, to which duty and true happiness stand in close rela- tions." MT. Gage said that the most advanced scientists now recognized that very large number of so- called diseases found their existing cause in that part of the physical organization known as the emotional center. These diseases could not be reached by ordinary means, but should be addressed through mental impress sions and suggestions. This, he inti- mated, was the source of trouble with the social state, and continued: ''It is unwise to be blind to the dangers in such a situation. Hysteria, though functional in its operation, nay induce organic disease. Men of steady minds and strong hearts must, with temper ance and charity and the exercise of right reason find the true path which leads to peace and safety. There are real mistakes to be corrected. We have violated the natural laws which govern in the realm of economies with the same force and power that they do in the physical realm"

Two Cavalrymen at West Point Engage fin 8
 Combat Over a Woman.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-At a recent sol- diers' ball at West Point, Katie Medler, a blacksmith's daughter, favored John Leahy, trooper, and Pearley Howard, his rival, challenged him to a duel. Charley Wresth and Billy Sissy, two other troopers, acted as seconds. After the usual preliminaries each man drew his cavalry saber. A sharp contest ensued. After few minutes of fight ing, Howard, with one sweep of his sword, sent Leahy's sword flying and left him defenseless. With the return sweep his sharp weapon caught Leahy on the lips and cut them through. Leahy cried murder" and the seconds tried to stop the flow of blood, but their efforts were fruitful and they had to take the wounded man to the cadet hospital, where his lips were sewed up by the surgeon. He told the doctor he got the injury accidentally while fencing with Howard.

The Noted New Yorker Will Probably Bo
 Ambassador to Great Britain.
 CANTON, O., Feb. 13.-Whatever may be the decision concerning New York's representation in the incoming cabi- net, the Empire state seems likely to gain the plum of the diplomatic ap- pointments, and Chauncey M. Depew will, in all probability, be the next ambassador of the United States to the court of St. James. The appointment of MT. Depew, while not officially an. nounced, seems to have been practical ly decided upon and probably will re- ceive authentic confirmation within the next few days.

 GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. 1.-Two well-dressed men came to this city Tuesday night, arriving from the east. They went to the best hotel in the city and only one registered, saying one name would do for both. The sig nature on the register is very vague, but looks like R. A. Newcome, and the residence given as Billings, Mont. Yesterday morning they were found in their room dead. All gas jets were open full. Neither man carried any baggage other than small grip, and this contained nothing but two shirts and a few collars. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of suicide.

 Peaceful Way.
 MERwIN, Mo-, Feb. 15.-Gen. Jo o. Shelby died at 4:2O o'clock Saturday morning, so peacefully that those who watched at his bedside scarcely real- ized that the end was at hand until he breathed his last. He remained un- conscious to the last, and no word or sign of recognition of those about him came from the dying man. His eye lids had remained closed for some hours and there was only a relaxa- tion of the features as the hand of death swept across the pallid face. The remains of Gen. Shelby will be inferred in Forest Hill cemetery, at Kansas City, on, Wednesday at ten o'clock a. m. Funeral services will be

Nobody seems 70 doubt that clash ut urla will occur be- tween Greece md Turkey unless the power Intervene; but it is believed hrEc that Greece will be given a 4Tye hand in Crete, and that if she succeeds in annexing that island her right to do so will not be ques- tioned by the rest of Europe. It is quite certain that King George has not acted without consulting with his friends in sending the torpedo flotilla into Cretan waters, with instructions to prevent, at all hazards, the landing of Turkish troops in Crete.

 A Biographical Sketch.
 Gen. Jo o. Shelby was born in Lex ington, Ky., of distinguished family, in 1881. Though he has been conspicu- ous as Missourian for 45 years, yet his is another of the many illustrious names that Kentucky can claim from the annals of fame. His school days were spent at Lexington, Ky, and then at the age of 10 he came to Missouri 63 years. ago and settled in Audrain county. The firing upon Fort Sumpter found Capt. Shelby jealous in the southern cause. He was 30 years of age at this time. Hist strat- egy and activity brought him pro- motions in rapid succession. A cap tain at the outbreak of the war, he became colonel of cavalry in 1862; in January, 1863, a colonel in command of brigade; and in May, 1864, brigadier- general.
 Although Shelby was the youngest general on the list, he was given the highest place possible not ranking Gen. Price, when the last Missouri raid was made in 1864. On October 20, Marmaduke and Shelby drove the fea- erals back from Blue river to Westport. On the 22d Shelby received orders to capture Westport, which he did after the most desperate battle he ever fought in Missouri. Atthe close of the war Cen. Shelby surrendered to the United States through Gen. Buckner. Shelby then gathered about him about 600 men, mostly Missourians, and went to Mexico to join Jaurez in the revolu- tion against the Emperor Maximilian.
 On February 4, 1894, Gen. Shelby was appointed United States marshal of the Western district of Missouri, and his term does not expire until March, 1898. He leaves wife and family of eight children, seven boys and one girl.

CARROLL D. WRIGHT.

ment secured information from 1,067 establishments of various kinds, located in 80 different states and em- ploying 14S, ,S67 persons-a number large enough to insure that the data col- lected were thoroughly representative. The complete data sought for, how. ever, were obtained from 931 establish ments employing 64,560 persons in the former and 10s,64S in the present period. Of this number in the first period 20, 749 were males of IS years of age or over. as against 4S,195 in the second, 4,175 males under IS years of age, as against 7,54O in the second; 27,- l63 females, IS years of age or over, and 6,74S females under IS years of age, as against 45, 1s2 and 12,571, respective ly, in the present period. The male employees 1S years of age or over in- creased in the present period over the former period 63.1 per cent, while fe- male employees of the same age and period increased 66.8 per cent. Male em. ployes under 1s years of age increneeh sO.6 per cent, while female employees under IS years of age increased sg.1 per cent.
 Out of the 92s instances in which men and children tpersons under IS years of age) work at the same occupa. tion with like degree of efficiency, men receive greater pay in ls2, or Taa per cent. of the instances and children receive greater pay in e4 or 1O.5 per cent, while in 92 instances or 9.7 per cent. they receive the same pay for the same work performed with the same degree of efficiency. The men receive 57.7 per cent. greater pay than the children in the 1S2 instances in which they are paid more, while the children receive but s.6 per cent. greater pay in the 24 instances in which they are paid the higher wages.
 The main reason given for the em. ployment of women and girls is that they are better adapted for the work at which they are employed. Other reasons given are that they are moro reliable, more easily controlled, cheaper, more industrious, less liable to strike and learn more rapidly. On the other hand, the reasons for their opinion, given by those who did not believe that there was any tendency for the employment of women to in- crease their industries, were that very often women who were better adapted and cheaper were unreliable; that their physical strength was inadequate for heavy work; that machinery was gradually displacing them.
 The department is now Investigating the effects of machinery upon labor and the cost of production, compila- tion of wage statistics in the leading countries of the world, an investiga- tion of the liquor problem and eco- homie aspects, in collaboration with the state labor bureaus, the municipal ownership of gas, water and electric plants.
