A selEMade Senator.

We see a paragraph floating
around the newspapers to the eff
fec, that Senator Henry G.. Davis
is the richest man in West Vir-
ginia. We guess this Is true, and
like all the rich men In Congress
he did not inherit, but earned his
money. When he was seventeen
years old Senator Davis was q
brakeman on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. He was promoted
from one position to another until
he became man OF considerable
importance upon the road, when
he found more lucrative employ
ment as superintendent Of coal
mines In West Virginia. Here
he began to grow rich, until by
able management and wise for
sight he has accumulated an Inn
mense fortune. Senator Davis Is
a man OF some oddities, and often
annoys his fellow Senators with
the persistency with which he
pursues whatever he undertakes,
whether II be an ignis fatuus, or
something practical but leaving
his hobbies out OF consideration
he Ii an excellent man and use
ful Senator. - Baltimore Bulletin.
