Mr.. Adams was born at Keene, n. a., and
is not much older than he looks (forty -eigtt).
Hegraduated at Harvard in 1860: studied law
ct the Dane Law School, Cambridge. Mass,
and has since prscliced. While at Harvard
Mr. Adams was something OF an oarsman-
He pulled IN the Avon at the Worcester re-
gatta as far back as 1859. He was elected
State Senator Of Illinois in 1880
The chief products Of Mr.. Hopkins dis
trict are Percherous and Prohibitionists. Il
is hard to say which has given him the most
trouble. The Administration has been try
ing to upset Percheron breeding and in
porting by demanding back duties on
animals supposed TO be entitled to free duty.
Mr.. Hopkins has finally got bill through
Congress disposiag of the matter as it should
be. The Prohibitionists and Democrats to
gether can not harm Mr.. Hopkins. He gets
two votes to their one every time. he IS
young forty-two}, a graduate Of Hillsdale
(lIich.) College, and practices law at
Aurora He is anxious to have breed OF
pure white Percherons developed.
Politically Mr.. HIT does not belle his
name. His arrow has gone PUNK to the
bulls eye at every shot His ancestors IN
old Wales were chrefs Of the Cymri, and
bards Of the Eisteadfod when the CONT
mental races poured over England Like the
Red Sea upon Pharoah- MIR. HIT was born
II Ohio and reared on al Illinois farm in
the beautiful Rock river valley, getting his
..schoolin y at Rock River Seminary, now
Mt Morris College. he became an expert
shorthand writer, and fifteen years ago his
literary bent led him to write some excel
Ient prose and verse In 1872 he was clerk
Of the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections. He was first Secretary Of the
Paris Legation and Charge d'Afaires ad
interim from December, 1874. until March,
1851. Coming home, he was made Assist
ant Secretary Of State in 1851. He came TO
Congress in 1882, to fiji the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Hon. r. N. A. Hawk,
and has been returned regularly since.
