Alger,' of Michigan, is to be Secretary of War in McKinley's cabinet. Gen. Alger was summoned to, Canton, where the portfolio was tendered and accepted.. In speaking of the matter Gen. Alger said that not until the inter­ view were there any overtures made to him in connection with the cabinet. He said also that none of the appointments of his department had yet been disposed of or decided upon, and that it would be some „tune before any announcements in that line could be made. Gen.

His^ grandfather served in the revolutionary war and is claimed to have been a descendant of William the Conqueror. When 11* years of age both his parents died.

Gage, president of the First" National Punk of Chicagtf, has accepted the portfolio of Secretary of the Treasury under the McKinley administration. He made that announcement at Canton. O., Thursday night in the McKinley library. There were gathered about him a number, of newspaper correspondents, who had come to learn of the result of the confer­ ence with Maj. McKinley. "Mr. McKinley offered me the treasury portfolio. I told hi ml would ..accept the high honor and fill the position to the best of my ability." \ This was the first utterance of the in­ coming Secretary of the Treasury on be­ ing presented to the party.

Si XATI tco,iM5Bi«iimr,Nn STOP, WOMEN I And Consider the All-Important;Fact That In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman--a woman whose experience in treating woman's diseases Is greater than that of any.liviiig physician--male or female. You can talk freely to a woman whep it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, a man doe? not understand--simply because he is;4r man,. Many, women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have imme­ diate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and proba­ bly examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a wom­ an whose knowledge from actual expe­ rience is greater than any local physi­ cian in the world. The following invi­ tation is freely offered; accept it in the same spirit: Urn. Pinkham's Standing: Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female" weakness1 are invited to prompt­ ly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, openfed, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. , • Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge, that, will help your case." She asks nothing in return ex­ cept your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely, any wom­ an, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this gener­ ous offer of assistance.--Lydia E. Pink- •ham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. The Coyotes Were Too Cute. An amusing incident occurred the other day on the Lemon farm, near Garfield, Wash. Burt Lemon and an employe of the farm were plowing, when they came- across three young coyote pups, which had not yet opened their eyes. While they were1 examin­ ing them the old ones appeared, and approached to within fifty yards. Mr. Lemon went to the house for a gun and a sack, and placed the young ones in the sack, which was tied up and left in the field until time to go in from work. The old coyotes kept^a respectful dis­ tance from the rifle, bift hovered around. Several turns of the field were made with the plow, and finally, when the men came in sight of where they had left the sack containing the young coyotes, they saw one of the old ones with the sack, puppies and all, streak­ ing it over the hill, and that was the last seen of them.--Spokane (Wash.)

Henry. In 1861 Alger enlisted in the Second Michigan Cavalry, and was made captain of Company C. He was wounded in the battle of Booneville, Miss. Owing to his part in this engagement he was promoted to the rank of major. In 1862 he became lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Michigan Cavalry, and in 1S63 was made colonel of the Fifth Michigan Cavalry, his regiment being in Custer's famous brigade. In 1864 failing health induced him to retire from the service. He was breveted brig­ adier and major general "for gallant and meritorious services," and was on private service in 1863-4, receiving orders per­ sonally from President Lincoln. In 1865 he removed to Detroit, where he has since been extensively engaged in lumber and pine land business. Gen. Alger was elected Governor of Michigan in 1884, receiving a plurality of 3.1)50 votes over Begole (fusionist). His ad­ ministration of State affairs was consid­ ered highly successful. In 1888 lie was one of the leading candidates for the Re­ publican nomination for President. Gen. Alger served one term > as commander of the G. A. R.

Detailed troceedings of Senate and House--Bills Passed or Introduced in Either Branch.--Questions of Mo­ ment to the Country at Large. The Legislative Grind. The nominal business of the House Sat­ urday was the consideration of the agri­ cultural appropriation bill, which was passed before adjournment, but much of the time Was devoted to political, discus­ sion. The free distribution of seeds by the department of agriculture raised a lively discussion. Mr. Northway (Rep.) of Ohio asserted that Secretary Morton endeavored tp discredit the custom by procuring poor seeds, and Mr- Bromwell (Rep.) of Ohio charged that a Minneapo­ lis seed firm had attempted to bribs him by an offer of seeds free to refrain Strom calling the attention of Congress to the quality of the goods they furnished the depa rtment. An amendment was offered by Mr. Mercer for the free distribution to members of poultry, swine and other live stock, to illustrate his opposition to seed gifts. At the request, of agricultural or­ ganizations of his State Mr. Hill of Con­ necticut proposed to strike out the seed items, but his proposition was lost. Speak­ er Reed , voted for the first time this ses­ sion, and against free seeds. >< An unusually large number of bills were passed by the House Monday, but few of them of any considerable importance. The bills" passed included the old bill which has been pending before Congress for so many years to retire John M. Quackenbush, who was court-martialed and suspended from the Haval service in 1874 for drunkenness, as a commander under date of June 1, 1895; also a bill to reimburse the heirs of Albert Augustine, of Rose Hill, IoWa, in the sum of $350 for two cows destroyed in the Cayuse war of 1847. Bills were passed to authorize the Columbia and Red Mountain Railroad to construct a bridge across the Columbia river; to prevent the carrying of obscene literature and articles designed for inde­ cent and immoral use from a State or ter­ ritory into another State or territory; to prevent trespassing upon and°the protec­ tion of the Chickamauga and Chattanoo­ ga and other national military parks; to amend an act" entitled an act to repeal the timber culture laws and for other pur­ poses (the act relates only to the entry of lands in the Sioux Indian reservation): to authorize the entry and patenting of lands containing petroleum and other mineral oils under the laWs relating to placer mining (the purpose of the bill was to circumvent a ruling made by the secretary Aug. 7, 1896). The Nicaragua canal bill occupied tlife attention of the Senate most of the day, but no progress was made toward a final vote. The feature of the Senate Tuesday was a very spirited debate on the conference reporj^of the immigration bill. Mr. Gib­ son of Maryland opposed the report and Mr. Lodge defended it. After two hours' struggle the report went over and the Nicaragua Canal bill was taken up, Mr. Vilas continuing his remarks. Mr. Teller of Colorado also entered the debate in op­ position to the measure. The House bill to allow the bottling of spirits in bond was reported favorably. The day in the House was very dull, ncarlf the whole session being devoted to debate on appro­ priation bills. The diplomatic and con­ sular bill was passed and considerable progress made with the District of Colum­ bia bill. The bill as passed carries $1,- 673,708. Resolutions arranging for the formal canvassing of the electorial vote of the last Presidential election to take place Wednesday were adopted. The contested election case of Cornett versus Swanson, from the fifth Virginia district, occupied the attention of the House Wednesday. Three Republicans and three Democrats on the Elections Com­ mittee had reported in favor of the Demo­ cratic contestee. Mr. Swanson, and three Republicans offered a minority report rec­ ommending that the seat be declared va­ cant on the ground that a fair election could not be held under the Virginia elec­ tion law. When the vote came to be taken the minority could not muster enough votes to call the yeas and nays, and Mr.' Swanson's title to his seat was confirmed by an overwhelming viva voce vote. Af­ ter a brief parliamentary struggle in the Senate the friends of the Nicaragua Canal bill were unable to hold a quorum and sit out the obstruction to that measure. The friends of the bill finally gave up hope of securing a quorum and yielded to an adjournment. Mr. Vilas continues to hold the floor. The session of the Senate Thursday was one of unusual activity. Mr. Morrill en­ deavored to pass the bill prohibiting the use of intoxicants in the capitol building. This aroused the opposition of Mr. Hill of New York, who denounced the busybodies and mischief-makers inspiring this class of legislation. He moved to recommit the bill, but this was defeated by a vote of 27 yeas to 30 nays. However, he suc­ ceeded in prolonging the debate to 2 o'clock, when the bill was displaced by the Nicaragua Canal bill. The immigration bilLwas recommitted to conference, Mr. Lodge, in charge of the measure, adopt­ ing this course as a result of urgent ap­ peals for a modification of the bill. Be­ fore this was done, however, a warm personal and political colloquy occurred between Mr. Ixidge and Mr. Chandler on one hand and Mr. Gorman on the other. Mr. Vilas added another day to his speech against the Nicaragua Canal and had not concluded when the Senate adjourned. The proceedings in the House were very dull and almost entirely devoid of pub­ lic interest: The major portion of the day was devoted to the District of Colum­ bia appropriation bill. The House agreed to the Senate's request for a further con­ ference on the immigration bill. Told in a Few Lines. An unknown man was smothered in a large malt bin at the Fey malthouse at Peoria, 111.

Cornell said that he was glad the country was td have a Secretary of the Treasury who will have "learned his trade" before he enters upon the duties of his office. Biographical Sketch of Mr. Gagew Lyman J. Gage was born at De Ruyter, Madison County, N. Y„ June 28, 1836, and was the son of Eli and Mary Judson Gage. He earned his first salary as a clerk in the postoffice at Rome, N. Y., and later became'route agent on the Rome and Watertown Railroad. In 1854 he was giv­ en a position in the Oneida Central Bank in Rome, and retained it for a year and a half at a salary of $100 a year. The close of 1855 found him in Chicago, and his first employment was in the capacity of a bookkeeper for a lumber firm. In coiuiec- rion with his duties as bookkeeper he was also required to assist in loading, and unloading lumber wagons. He afterwards accepted the position of bookkeeper for the Merchants' Savings, Loan and Trust Company, and this was the beginning of the career that led up to his presidency of the First National Bank. In the spring of 1S60 he had reached the position of assist­ ant cashier, and' shortly afterward was advanced to that of cashier, and when in 186S he went to the First National Bank it was as cashier.- The old charter of the bank expired in 1882, and at the reorgan ization he was elected vice-president and general manager. About this time he was elected to the presidency of the American Bankers' Association. He was chosen president of the First National Bank Jan. 24. 1891, and has held that position since. Mr. Gage was a moving spirit in the World's Fair enterprise from the time it was first proposed, and he demonstrated his faith in Chicago's ability to manage the affair and meet its obligations by be­ ing one with three others to guarantee that Chicago would raise the $10,000,000 promised. Mr. Gage has been twice mar­ ried; first in 1864 to Miss Sarah Ether idge of Little Falls, N. Y. She died in 1874, and in 1S87 he married Cornelia Gage of Denver, Colo. HER INAUGURATION GOWN. Mrs. McKinley's Costume of Silver * and White Brocade. pi- Details of the inauguration gown of Mrs. McKinley have finally been decided; says a Chicago correspondent.: The ma­ terial for the gown has been selected, but not cut from the piece. It is a brocade of silver and white, the combination produc­ ing a sort of grayish color. It will be lined with pale blue-satin. The gown is to be made rather plain. The corsage will have a fluffy fischu of point d'Alencon lace. Though the neck will be made high with soft lace, yet it will have the decol- lette effect because of the d'Alencon fischu. The sleeves will be long and fin­ ished with a full frill of lace. The skirt, jvith its stately train, is have several panels of handsome brocade.;" The idea is to have the gown not elaborate and at the same time rich in effect. This is one of eight gowns which Mrs. McKinley will have fitted during her stay in Chicago: Interest centers in the inauguration outfit, and the details of the other dresses have not been fully decided.
