The Badger States Handsome and Intel
lectual Body of Representative at the
National CEpitai-AIen Who Have Made
Themselves Valuable Citizens.
Especial Washington Correspondence.1
The people of Wisconsin have not only a
good-loohing set of representatives in Con-
gress but they are practical hard-headed
group of men. To run over the list and
slink of their beginning makes this fact
plain. Senator Sawyer when seventeen
years old bought his time, leased a sawTniu
and began making his large fortune. Sena-
tor Spooner's father drove overland from
Indiana to Wisconsin taking his future
Senator with him when he was small boy.
Congressman La Toilette. the only native Of
Wisconsin in the delegation was born in a
log house in his district. Congressman
Stephenson has been lumbernan all his
life. Congressman Guenther is druggist
Clark. of the Neenah-Menasha district, is a
paper-maker. Henry Smith, the Milwaukee
member, is millwright, contractor and
builder. lHaugen, the Scandinavian Con-
gresham, is a stenographer which at home
Tom Hudd, the only Democrat from the
Badger State used TO be a printer before he
became lawyer.
Senators and members is Philetus Sawyer,
who is the senior Senator and has served
more years in Congress than any of his col
leagues. He is q hearty, hale old gentleman
OF seventy-one. He would make a good
Santa Claus without need OF disguise. His
snow-white hair forms ohspaGS de pisa
about large rotund head that many years
ago went bald" as the Senator says. His
beard also, IS white, and the general
effect OF a fine rosy complexion sur
rounded by driven white is quite patri-
archal. Mr.. Sawyer's home is in O8h-
kosh, where he has a pleasant capacious
mansion with whole block laid out N
grounds. What the Senator's wealth is, no
body, not even himself, knows. He is CON-
monty supposed to be worth over three mil
lions. Last summer he bought little
matter of $4,000 acres of timber land in
Wisconsin. He was born in Vermont and

ence 10 any one. 1t was all ne could 90 TO
get enough himself for mess.
So the play went on. Elsinore, where the
first act takes place, is in front of large
stone water tank, where two gentlemen
armed with long-handled hay knives are on
guard.
All at once ghost, who walks with an
overstrung Chickering action and stiff,
jerky. Waterbury movement, comes in,
wearing dark, mosquito net over his head
so that harsh critics can not truly say
there are any flies on him. I presume.
When the ghost enters most every one en-
joys it. Nobody seems to be frightened at
ali. ] knew it was not a ghost as quick as l
looked at it. One man in the gallery hit
the ghost on the head with a soda cracker,
which made him jump and feel of his ear;
so knew then that it was only man made
up to look like presence.
One Of the guards, whose name. think,
is Smith, has droop of his legs and an in
stability about the knees, which are highly
enjoyable. He walks like frozen-toed hen,
and stands first on one foot and then On the
other, with almost human intelligence. His
support is about as poor as O'Connor's.
After while the ghost vanishes with
what is called a stately tread, but l regard
it more as territorial tread. Horatio did

tory, how Margaret, her Oldest girl, loved 70
study, and how there was no chance for her.
and how Tommy was 1.-The picture of his
father, and as good boy as ever lived" and
about the twins. etc, etc.
The judge skillfully included the black
eyed Margaret in the conversation. and was
delighted with her wit and intelligence. He
LEFT her book which he had in pocket,
and after awhile resumed his journey
But the memory of that bright girl lin
gered with him. She ought 10 be educated,
he thought.
My, what q woman she would make,
such a figure, too, how she leaped that
fence; what pity she shouldn't have a
chance 10 develop that intellect. I've no
ton TO help her.
Now, the judge, al eccentric man, had 10
one to consider but himself. and cared not
q rush for public opinion. So il came TO
pass that he stopped at the little farm
house several times. each time bringing
some literary food TO the eager girl, who
so enjoyed It. On one OF these visits he
said 10 the mother: Your daughter ought
TO be educated; give her TO ne, aud VIII
send her &c school and give her every ad-
vantage OF culture. and then" he added, 81
Will marry her" TIE mother said: e Ii you
take my child from ny protection 70 yours,
you must have husbands right, or VII
not let her go WITH you"
After seoae talk the judge agreed; the
girl was already in lore with him. 50 ths
nearest minister was sent for and they
were married.
"Now, Judge Ralston.' said her mother,
''she is your wife. and you have d right 70

Of his. and asked her TO order suitable

THE MANAGER GATHERING THE CROP.

iistenened to him. Still he was about the
only one who did not receive crackers and
cheese as a slight testimonial of regard
from admirers in the audience.
Finally, MIR James Owen O'Connor en-
tered. It was fully five minutes before he
could be heard, and even then he could not.
His mouth moved now and then and gest-
ure would suddenly burst forth, but did
not hear what he said At least could rot
hear distinctly what he said. After awhile,
as people got tired and went away, l could
hear better.
Mr. OConnor introduces into his Hamlet
set Of gestures evidently intended for
another play. People who are going to act
out on the stage can not be too careful in
getting good assortment of gestures that
viii fit the play Itself. James has provided
himself with set of gestures which might
DO for Little Eva or "Ten Nights in Bar
room,'' but they do not fit Hamlet. There
is where he makes a mistake. Hamlet is
man whose victuals don't agree with him.
He feels depressed and talks about sticking
a bodkin into himself, but Mr.. O'Connor
gives him light, elastic step and an air of
persifage, bonhonaie and .frisk which does
not fit the character.
Mr.. O'Connor has sought in his concep-
ton and Interpretation of Hamlet to give it
a free and jaunty Kokomo favor-a name
less twang Of tansy and dried apples which
Shakespeare himself failed to sock into his
great drama.
James has done this and more. He has
taken the wild-eyed and morbid Blackwell's
Island Hamlet, and made him q two-dollar
parlor humorist who can be the life OF the
party or give lessons in eiocution, and take
applause or crackers and cheese in return
for the same.
There is really good lesson to be learned
from the pitiful and pathetic tale Of James
Owen OCon1or. Injudicious friends have
doubtless overestimated his value and I'M
duly praised his Smart Aleckutlonary pow
ers. Loving himself unwsely, but too ex-
teusively. he has been led away into the
great, untried purgatory Of public scrutiny,
and the general Indictment has followed.
The truth stands out brighter and stronger
than ever that there is no cut across lots to
fame or success. He who seeks to jump
from mediocrity to a glittering triumph over
the heads of the patient student and the
earnest, industrious candidate who is will
ing TO bide his time gets what James Owen
O'Connor has receiyed-the just condemna-
ton of those who are abundantly able to
judge.
In seeking to combine the melancholy
beauty OF Hamlet's deep and earnest pathos
with the gentle humor of "A Hole in the
Grosnd' Mr.. O'Connor has evidently cOrked
himself, as we say at the Browning Club,
and It is but justice after all. Before we
curse tho condemnation of the people and
the press let US carefully and prayerfully
look ourselves over and see if we have not
ovcrestimated ourselves
There are many men alive today who do
not dare say any thing without first think
ing how it viii read.in their meTnoirs-men
whom we can not, therefore, thoroughly en-
JOY until they are dead, and yet whose
graves will be kept green only so long as
the appropriation lasts.-But Ng's, in N. 7.
