At the Kalamazoo, Michigan, academy less
than thirty years ago was a teacher by the
name Of Julius Caesar Burrows. who came
from Erie county. Pa, where he was born.
Among the pupils at the academy was a pretty.
bright, vivacious young girl named Mary
Peck. Her father, banker settled in kala-
mazoo county in 1897, Immediately after the
admission of the territory of Michigan into the
Union. The outbreak of the rebellion found
the teacher at the academy casting aside his
books and buckling on his sword in defense of
the Union. At the close of the war he entered
the practice of law and was made prosecuting
attorney in 1865. In the same year he marie d
his former pupil.
In 1878 Representative and Mrs. Burrows
made their entree into Washington life, the one
In the arena OF congressional debate and the
other among the ladies in the circles of official
life. Mrs. Burrows striking beauty and her
peculiarly winning manners at once won for
her great popularity. Mrs. Burrows is tall and
slender, with luxurlant, soft, wavy hair, spark
ling eyes and rosy, brunette complexion. She
is one of the brightest conversationalists i'll the
polite circles of the capital and with vivacity
OF language she has a winning animation OF
manner. During the intermission of a Con-
gress in their residence at Washington the abb
sence of Mrs. Burrows was as much regretted in
society as was that of Mr.. Burrows in the House.
In addition to her social traits Mrs. Burrows
possesses much artistic genius. The produc-
tions of her brush possess great merit. Her
work on canvas is beautifully executed. Her
touch on plush and art materials is also much
admired. Much of her art work has been con-
verted into contributions to the charitable en-
terprises, in which she takes a great interest.
Mrs. Burrows holds weekly drawing rooms dur
ing the gay season. which are always thrOnged
by the representative ladies and gentlemen of
the highest classes of official and unofficial
society. De.B.R.K.

Men Who Are Candidates
For the Chair.

For the first time since the adjournment Of
the Forty-third Congress on March 4. 1875, save
for the brief interim of the two years of the
Forty-seventh Congress, the constituent assem-
bly, Of the people in the national legislature
has fallen under the domination of republi-
can majority. The control of the organization
will therefore pass into the hands of a new set
OF leaders. The biennial race for the speaker
ship, which has been a matter Of preparation
and speculation ever since the verdict OF the
people settled the political complexion OF
the House, is about to begin in earnest. The
individual preferences of members have al
ready singled out the men who VIII receive
support in the republican caucus, where the
nominee will be chosen. The public services
of the gentlemen who stand within the range
Of probability in the selection of speaker are
well known. In their family and social sur
roundings they interest the world OF fashion
able life at the capital, the presiding lady of
the household of the Speaker Is regarded as the
leader in the social circle Of the Representa-
tives.
The distant state of Maine had occupied the
Speakers chair in the person of James G..
Blaine for three Congresses, and for six sea-
sons Mrs. Harriet Stanwood Blaine had done
the honors of the Speakers home, when the
gavel passed into the possession of the demo-
Gratis. and Michael T.. Kerr of Indiana received
IL from their hands as Speaker. Ii IS the wish
OF large share of the republicans of the
House that the gavel will go back to Maine in
the person of Thomas b. Reed, who has had
the repeated complimentary vote OF the repub-
bean minority.

When the war for the Union began VIM. Nc
Kinley. jr. entered the twenty-third Ohio volun-
teers. When he left the service at its close he
wore the straps of a captain and carried the
honors of brevet major Hewas then Just twenty
one years Of age. He began civil pursuits by the
study of law at Canton and started forth in his
career as a man. which in the space of twenty
three years has made his name worthy of con-
spicuous consideration for the first place in the
gift of the representatives Of the people in the
popular branch of Congress.
In the very beginning Of his career LAWYER
Mckinley made Ida SaxtOn. one of the bright
est young ladies of Canton. his wife. Her
grandfather, John Saxton. for sixty years filled
the editorial chair OF the Ohio REPOSITORY
which he founded in 1915. II was mentioned
with considerable pride of longevity by the
venerable editor that in September, 1915 be
announced to his readers the defeat at Waterloo
which led to the downfall of Napoleon /, and in
September. 1870, the defeat at Sedan which
led to the overthrow of Napoleon III.
The late James A. Saxton. the father of Mrs
Mckinley. was also man OF influence in poll
tics and financial and business circles. being a
banker. The joys of early wifehood were
overshadowed by the loss of two children. The
shock to one of Mrs. Mckinley's sensitive
nature was too great. Her health gave way
and for some years she has been a confirmed
invalid. The devotion of William Mckinley tC
his invalid wife presents an interesting picture
of the tender instincts Of the man.
Owing 10 her inability to undergo the exer-
ton required by the activities of fashionable
gayeties Mrs. Mckinley never goes into society
Her lady friends, however, do not fail to enjoy
the sunshine Of her loyable character in the
retirement of her own apartments. Although
she never appears in public she takes alb
sorbing interest in public affairs. In her girl
hood she was carefully educated and inherited
from her grandfather a keen interest in news
papers, and Is probably one of the best posted
women in Washington in current information
as well as in knowledge gathered from books.
Mrs. Mckinley when in the bloom Of health
was 9 very beautiful woman. Her delicate
figure and poetry of manner, together with hel
mental vigor and information, seemed to fit hel
for social leadership. But even in her i'll
health she bears all the traces Of her younger
loneliness.

The name of Mrs. Reed is not new to the
fashionable life of the capital. Her distin-
guished husband entered the arena Of national
legislation in the FOrty-ffth Congress after
various service in his native state up to the
post of attorney general. During the twelve
years since her husband entered Congress Mrs.
Reed has passed the winters in Washington
and while not very aggressive in her social
methods she has enjoyed wide popularity
among her lady acquaintance. Mrs. Reed.
whose maiden name was Susan Merrill,
was born IN Center Harbor, Me. Her
father. Rev. s. II. Merrill. was one of the most
eloquent pulpit orators of the Congregational
church in that section of New England. The
brilliant mental gifts of his daughter gave her
father great pride. and it was one of his pleas
ATTEST tasks to give his personal attention to
her education. In 1870 the talented Miss Susan
Merrill became the wife of Thomas B. Reed,
who, from a distinguished career at the bar.
had Just entered the Office of attorney general
Of his state. Their marriage took place
at Portland and that beautiful city on the
shores of Casco bay became their home
Mrs. Reed is exceedingly well read, and with
her cultivated and refined nature. happy flow
of conversation and ready adaptability to social
situations and emergencies, would adorn the
social side of the chief Office of the House of
Representatives with great success. At the
drawing rooms of the ladies of the hotel in
which she has long resided Mrs. Reed has
always been prominent, and particularly on
account of the wide fund of information which
enlivens her conversation and for her kind
ness of manner. Mrs. Reed is a woman of me-
dunn height. with dark hair and eyes. Her
beautiful daughter Catherine. or Kitty as she
is affectionately known, is a sweet girl Just en-
tering her teens. The family and surround
ings of the Representative of the Portland dis
trict of Maine are a reflex of the very best
phases of American home feeling and rational
social enjoyment.

The Telephone and Ear Troubles.

The Telephone and Ear Troubles.
From the British Medical Journal
As civilization advances new diseases are not
only discovered, but are actually produced by
the novel agencies which are brought to bear
on mans body and mind. The increase Of in.
sanity throughout the world is unquestionably
due to the storm and stress" of our crowded
modern life. and almost every addition which
science makes to the convenience of the ma
jority seems to bring with it some new form OF
suffering to the few. Railway travelling has its
amaria ali9uid in the shape of slight, but pos
sibly not unimportant, jolting of the nervous
centers; the electric light has already created
q special form Of ophthalmia; and now we have
the telephone indicted as a cause Of ear trou-
on the general health.
NJ. Gelle has observed, not in women only
but in strong-mnded and able-bodied men
symphonic OF what we may call "aural over.
PRESSURE" caused by the condition Of almost
constant strain OF the auditory apparatus, in
which persons who use the telephone much
have to spend q considerable portion of each
working day. In some cases also the ear
seemed to be irritated by the constantly recur.
ring sharp tinkle Of the bell, or by the nearness
OF the sounds conveyed through the tube, into
q state OF 0ver-sensitiveness which made il in.
tolerant Of sound. as the eye. when infamed
or irritable, becomes unable to bear the light
The patients suffered from nervous excitabil.
ity, with buzzing noises in the ear, giddiness
and neuralgia pains.
In addition TO these subjective symptoms M.
Gelle in some cases found objective lessons
such as q sub-infammatory condition of the
membrane tympani. A similar condition OF
things is often seen in persons who spend !
large portion Of their lives amid the jar and
crash Of machinery All the trouble speedily
vanishes il the ear il allowed a sufficien,
measure Of physiological rest; this it can only
obtain by the cause being withdrawn.

A Real Incident.

weak old man, whose faded dress
Proclaims the nations ward,
Strolling in feeble idleness
Beside the emerald sward.
Beyond the belt of living green
He sees a fioweret blush.
Along the way-worn years between
How childhood's memories rushi
Cnheeding rules and warning signs
The old mans steps are bent
Across the green forbidden lines
On nearer view intent.
He breathes the fragrance of the bloom,
And all the struggling years,
Wars bitter blight and misery's gloom
Dissolve in memory's tears.
How fair the scene, how bright the hour
Dewed by that magic rain
As bending DER the l'wly flowers
He seems boy again.
"Come off that grass, there; can't you seer"
Cries one with cruel zeal,
Who owes, perhaps, to such as he
The power he makes him feel
The gray head droops and meekIy turns
The languid step away,
The fire Of youth no longer burns
In the ashes Of today.
A little thing! Yet all our lives
Are made Of little things.
