President Eaton announced that
the faculty of Beloit college had de-
cided to place rhetoricals on the
elective list of studies. This, he said,
was because of the little interest
some students manifest in oratory.
He stated that an annual prize of $50
had been offered to the winner of the
annual home oratorical contest to en-
courage interest in that event.

is CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. Lyman J. Gage Yields to Her
Long Illness.
She Was One Of Mrs. Mckinley
Closest Friends, and Among the
Most Popular of the Ladies
of the Cabinet.

Washington, May 18.-Mrs. Lyman
Gage, wife of the secretary of the
treasury, died at her residence, No.
west, at $50 o'clock Friday night,
after an illness of nine weeks dura-
ton. With her when the end came
were her husband, her married
daughter, Mrs. E. F. Pierce, of Evans
ton, ILL.,, and DR.. w. w. Johnston, the
attending physician. For a time be-
fore her death Mrs. Gage suffered
considerable pain, but she maintained
her bright and cheerful demeanor
and was conscious to the last. Heart
trouble, the result of grip compiled
tons, was the immediate cause OF
death. Mrs. Gage was exposed to the
inclement weather for about an hour
on Inauguration day, but at the time
her health did not seem to have been
affected. On the 18th of March she
left here for Evanston to visit her
married daughter. While there she
experienced chill and took to her
bed, but soon recovered sufficiently to
return to Washington, where she had
been confined to her room ever since.
During their residence in Washing
ton Secretary and Mrs. Gage have
taken quite an active part in social
life at the capital. Mrs. Gage was
woman of charming personality, and
with her husband delighted in ex-
tending the hospitality of their. efe-
CANT home on Massachusetts avenue.
Mrs. Gage was probably closer to
Mrs. Mckinley than any other of the
ladies of the cabinet.
