NEW YORK SHOWS.

Are you going to the circus? If not, why not?f It seems to be a certain thing that it will be the biggest show that this town has ever had up to date. When it was in New York this spring the great daily newspapers of the metropolis were united in saying it was greater and bigger than it had ever been before, and as the man agement pledge themselves to give an exact reproduction here in every de- tail of the show that was given in Madison Square Garden. New York, it certainly ought to meet the most ex- acting demands of every circus-goer here. When the proprietors of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers 2Oth Century Colossus give their word 1t is entitled to serious consideration. for they are no less than the four show monarchs of the world, James Al. Bailey, ". ". Cole, Lewis Sells and Peter Sells. They are all men of linn .itless experience, and with boundless nride in these shows, and so 1t is not likely that any one will be disap- nointed, no matter how much they ex-
 meet of them when they exhibit here

MRS LYMAN J. GAGE.
Death Came After m Illness of Nine
 Weeks.

Weeks.
 Washington, May 1S.-The death Of Mrs Lyman J. Gage, wife of the sec retary of the treasury, occurred at her residence, 1715 Massachusetts avenue, Northwest, at 9:30 o'clock last night, after an illness of nine weeks dura- ton. Her husband, her married daughter, Mrs E. F. Pierce, and Dr W. W. Johnston were with her when she passed away. She maintained her bright and cheerful demeanor, and was conscious to the last. Heart trou- ble, the result of grip complications, was the immediate cause of death.
 Mrs Gage was exposed to the in clement weather for about an hour on inauguration day, but at the time her health did not seem to have been af- fected. On March II, she left here for Evanston to visit her married daugh- ter. While there she experienced a chill and took to her bed, but recov- cred sufficiently to return to Wash ington, where she had been confined to her room ever since.
 The remains will be inferred in Rose Hill cemetery, near Chicago. Further than this the funeral services have not yet been arranged

 The Rev Father O'Donnell of Water town has received many congratula- tions and kind words since his oration before the Knights of Columbus men in this city Tuesday evening, but none that he prizes more highly than the following from Bishop McFaul:
 Bishops House, Trenton, N. J.,
 May r, 1901. Rev J. H. O'Donne1l, Watertown, Conn. Rev and Dear Sir:-Allow me to send you my cordial congratulations on your address before the Knights or Columbus. sincerely hope that your words may take root and produce fruit an hundred fold. Let us keep federation before the Iaity, show them Us advantages and assist them in it's accomplishments. That we need feder- atlon cannot be doubted by any intel- ngent man that has studied the ques- ton, or adverted to the discrimination exercised against us. We are Ameri- cans and no man should be allowed to deprive us of our ina1ienable rights. With good wishes, very truly yours,
