COVERINGS CAREER.

4 Trade Unionist and X. of L. Man in Mas
sachusetts Politics.
Henry B. Lowering, who has been nom
mated by the President United States
Marshal for the district of Massachusetts,,
is brilliant example of what energy and
pluck may accomplish. A year ago Mr..
Lowering was the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts,. He is a
Trades Unionist and Knight of Labor,
and wsS a iourneymau shoemaker at the
time he entered upon his successful politi-
cal career. He was borne at Portsmouth,
n. H., on April 8, 194l, and received his
education in the public schools of Lynn,
Mass. which city has been his home from
his early youth. He served in the Union
army as private during the rebellion, and
hes since walked with one wooden leg as
the result.
He was working iu one of the Lynn shoe
factories in 1872, when he was, at the age
of thirty one, elected to the State Legisls-
ture as Labor representative. In 1874 he
was again elected to the same body. He
served as an assessor in lS79-Sl and was
then elected Mayor Of Lynn. In 1882 he
was elected to Congress by $50 majority
from the Sixth district, which Includes
the city of Lynn and three wards OF Bos.
ton. In 1884 he was reelected from the
same district, being supported by the So
called peoples party as well as the Dem
ocracy, but his plurality over Henry
Cabot Lodge, his Republican opponent,
was only 2i5, with Probibilionist caudi-
date in the field who polled $50 votes.
At the election in the same district IN
1886 Mr.. lowering was again candidate
against Nc Lodge, being defeated by the
latter by 72S plurality. The Prohibition
vote at the same time was 454. Mr.. Low
eripg is short, stout man, with thin,
grey hair, moustache and chin whiskers.
He is not much of an orator, bat is an
earnest worker and man of practical
| ideas.

SToCKs-The stock market was quiet to-

noon, reacted later in the day and prices
show irregular changes from those Of
last evening. Opening prices showed
irregularities from last evenings fig
ures and the market was quiet, bnt ad
vanced fracti0nally in the early trading.
The general list continued steady with a
firm undertone, while Union Pacific made
fractional gain toward noon, but
after that time there was ab.
solutely no feature whatever until
toward delivery hour, when weakness was
developed in the Yanderbilts and Lake
Shore, and afterwards Canada Southern
made marked declines. The rest of the
list sympathized TO some extent, and the
close was dull bnt heavy. Closing prices
are irregular, as compared with those of
yesterday, and except losses of II in Rock
Island, and u in Lake Shore the final
changes are for fractional amounts only.
