CEREAL CROP Is PROMISING.
Bradstreet's Weekly Report Gives Good
Outlook for Produce.

Bradstreet's says: aside from quite
perceptibIe increase of the spirit of I'M
rest in labor circles there are few
changes to record in the general trade or
dustrial situation. Business at present
the country over is of a seasonable reor-
der character with wholesalers in dry
goods, clothing and similar lines, but the
volume of business is fair for the season
and collections are reported likewise. The
basic facts underlying the situation con-
tinue largely of favorable character.
Notable in this respect is the crop situa-
ton, particularly for the cereals, which
is in a high degree promising. The back
ward spring and lack of rains in some
sections have initiated against the
growth of cotton, but Improvement is
noted even in this respect. The indus
tries are active.

MRS. LYMAN j. GAGE is DEAD,
Wife of the Secretary of the Treasury
Sinks into the Final sleep.

Mrs. LYMAN J. Gage, wife of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, died at $3.50
o'clock Friday evening at their home IN
Washington, d. G.. The immediate cause
of death was heart failure, result OF
wasted strength due to an attack OF the
grip. Mrs. Gage was conscious almost
to the last moment. At the final moment
there were present at her BEDSIDE her
husband, her daughter, Mrs. Fierce OF
Evanston, H., DR.. Johnston and tram
ed nurse.
Mrs. Gage was taken i'll on March IL
while on a visit to her daughter On
that day she wrote the Secretary that
she had had a chill and that the doctor
had ordered her to bed. For ten days
she remained i'll at Evanston and then re-
covered sufficiently to go to Washington.
Immediately after her arrival there she
suffered relapse and went to bed again,
never to rise. Rheumatism supervened,
accompanied by low and persistent fever.
Her strength gradually wasted, and for
several weeks Secretary Gage has lived
in the shadow of the approaching death
Of his helpmeet
Mrs. Gage was loved by all who knew
her. Though never fond Of formal So
ciety, since going to Washington she had
endeavored to do her duty as the second
lady of the cabinet. During the past
winter Mrs. Hay, wife of the Secretary
of State, has been in mourning, and this
has thrown more than the usual burden
upon Mrs. Gage. But friends of the fam
ily deny that devotion to social duties
had anything to do with the breaking
down of her health.
Marriage Ea5 It's Romance.
Mrs. Gage was Miss Cornelia Lansing
of Albany, n. Y, a member of one OF
the well-knoWn families Of the East. AS
a very young woman she became the
bride Of Lloyd G. Gage, a brother OF
Lyman J. Gage. Lloyd Gage had been a
semi-invalid for many years and in few
years became more frail and weak and
the climate of Colorado was sought with
the hopes that it might give new life to
the sufferer. He soon died, however,
leaving his widow in the very prime of
life. Lyman J. Gage had likewise mar
ried, and shortly after the death of his
brother sickness and death entered hio
family and left him a widower. Mr..
Gage was then an employe of a bank.
Since the death of the brother Mr..
Gage and his sister-in-law had been in
correspondence, the grief Of both proving
a bond of friendship and sympathy. How
ever, there had been little exchange of
sentiment and the story goes that the be-
trothal finally came by telegraph. A let
ter from Mr.. Gage to his sister-in-law
told her that after mature deliberation he
had come to the conclusion that she was
the woman to be his wife. He earnestly
hoped that she agreed with him. If So,
he begged her to telegraph him the one
word S'Yes." If she did not no answer
was necessary. The marriage followed
at the home of a relative in Denver and
was most happy one.
