Iigan that the popular mind should be
disabused of several misconceptions
regarding them. First, of Mr.. James
Mulligan. He is by no means the ne
cessitous individual whom the Blame
organs picture as following their can
didate in the character of worthless
adyenturer. He is to-day credited IN
Boston as being worth at least sloo,-
900 in his own right. This he has ac-
cumulated by frugality and shrewd
small investments. lie IS, moreover
the trustee of Fisher, Sr.s estate, val,
ued ct somewhere in the nelghborhood
Of 100000 and also OF the estate OF
Warren Fishers uncle, placed at as
much more. In both these cases he Is
trustee without bonds, a singular mark
of the high estimation placed On his
integrity. 1t is acknowledged IN all
quarters here that his investments tor
the estates show rare business judg-
ment. Personally, james MullIgan
can best be described as an "odd hsh.
He boards and lodges at the New
England House, an old-fashioned ho-
| tel ON the corner of Blackstone and
| Clinton streets. 1t seems to be the re-
sort of well-to-do country folks and
captains of coasting schooners. Phys
ically, Mr.. Mulligan is below the me,

lust such man as Julius Cesar would
have been disinclined to make a con
fdant Of His head is small and round
his eyes piercing, his nose sharp and
pugnacious, his mouth severe, thin
iipped and unforgiving and his chin
firm-set and obstinate. That Mr
Blaine should have gone on his knee:
to such a man shows how the smartes
men may fail to read physiognomles.
Mr.. Warren Fisher presents re
markable contrast to air. Mulllgan
