RedheId Proctor.

The secretary Of war, Redfeld Proctor, is a
native of Vermont and was at one time gov
ernor of the state. Among the reasons given
i6r the recognition by the new president of the
green mountain state in the cabinet counsels
are, 1) the eminence of ex-Gov. Proctor in
his party, it being stated that he virtually con-
trolls the party in his state. and, (2) the fact
that be, as chairman of the Vermont delegation
to the Chicago convention last year, was at the
head of the only delegation in the whole body
which voted solidy for Harrison first last aud
all the time Ex-Gov Proctor has sll his life
been engaged in trade, being in every way a
self-made man, who has managed TO get together
a respectable fortune in state that is not noted
for being burdened with wealth. He lives at
Proctor, town founded by him, and which is
situated a lew miles from Rutland. He is in
practical control OF the whole output of the
Vermont marble quarTies, and is one OF the
largest dealers in that commodity in the United
States At his home at Proctor he is farmer
on a new scale where he owns one o. the finest
hocks OF wrinkley Nerino rams and ewes in the
world. Throughout the state OF Vermont Mr.
Proctor IS nightly respected and has the repu-
tatiOn OF being square man.

HIS manners are very refined and he has never
yet been seen TO lose the cool dignity which he
learned so well to control during the years of
army service.

ester, n. Y, and was married TO the general at
Northampton, Mass. They celebrated their
silver wedding on Feb g. OF this year. Mrs.
Mobiles life has been one of energy throughout.
She has frequently brought out and developed
home literary talent. Shortly before Prot. w.
Harris left the West he was associated with
her in establishing classes for the
thorough study of the classics.
Mrs. Mobiles salon has been frequented by
talent of the highest order. While not fond Of
society, as the word goes, she entertains a
great deal, and as a hostess is unequalled in
grace and hospitality. She has no children
living. Her two sisters make their home with
her. the Misses Lily and Leonora Halstead; the
latter while not blue stocking, has done
creditable literary work. She is the author OF
Bethesda" Previous to the publication of
this work, she wrote considerable over the
pseudonym of Beuidh. Miss Halstead is not
in good health, and Mrs. Noble has taken her
to New FORK to place her under treatment for
an eye difficulty. The home OF Gen. Noble is
enriched by works of art, the collections Of
many trips abroad. The broad hall is hung
with engravings, the parlOrs with oils. The
library and study are made attractive by bric-a-
brac and large rows of well-filled books, dis
closing. refined literary tastes and culture in
art studies

Gen. Tracy, the secretary OF the navy, is
about fifty-nine years old. He was born in
Oswego, n. y :, and secured his education in
the common schools of his native town. After
leaving the 0swego academy he entered the
law office OF Nathaniel w. Davis, where he re-
mained engaged in the study of law until 1851,
when ne was admitted to the bar, where be
soon made his mark in his profession. In 1853
he became the republican candidate Tor dis
trict attorney of TiogG county, and though it
was a democratic stronghold, he was elected.
Two years later he was again elected to the
same Office. He was elected 20 the assembly

until 1873, when he was forced to resign be-
cause of the growth OF private practice. In

peals and served one year. The appointment
of Gen. Tracy is the most significant case of
paying off political debts tina: has been seen

John Wanamaker.

John WanamRker, the acknowledgement,
has had singularly successful career. He is
now IN his ftty-secOnd year, having been born
in Philadelphia, July H. 1887. He was not Of
the fortunate class TO whom wealth comes by
inheritance. He was, nevertheless, of the
lucky few toward whom the tide of fortune
seems to flow continuously and who prosper
almost without effort He was fashioned for q
business career by that inexorable law of cir
eumstances. His education, therefore, was not
elaborate. He began work early and from
his meager earnings managed always TO save
something each week, till at the age of twenty
three he had 500 10 his credit. A lucky in
vestment in real estate increased this amount
TO $1,000, thus enabling him to start q clothing
store on his own account He soon rose to be
one OF the leading clothiers in this country and
aiterward gradually converted his business into
the drygoOds line. His appearance in business
was almost instantaneous with his ad-
vent into public life. He became iden-
tined with every popular movement, and
when the centennial celebration commission
was created his was one OF the first names men,
TONED. He was also prominently identified
with the movement for the correction OF the
abuses In the municipal government OF Phils-
delphla. Mr.. Wanamaker is a man of very
charitable instincts and dispenses his bounty
with n free and unstinted hand lie has estab-
hshed several institutions for the benefit Of the
poor in Philadelphia. Although Mr.. Wana-
maker has always taken \ conmendable inter-
est in public affairs he has never held any
Office. He has heen frequently solicited 10 per-
nit the use of his name for congress and mayor
OF Philadelphia, but has never been induced TO
yield. In religious movements Nr. Wana-
maker takes a lively interest lie is an active
member Of q presbyterian community, and
often speaks. at church gatherings. Besides
the interest derived from his vast business. Mr..
Wanamaker owns 1900, 900 worth of real es-
tate. He was an earnest pleader in the cause
OF protection during the last campaign, and
contributed largely to the election expenses.
Mr. Wanamaker is of German stock on his
fathers side and a descendant of the Uugue-
nOts in his mothers line

OId-time Gambling in Washington.
Minneapolis Tribune

In the old, old times everybody prominent in
public life was fond of cards. Washington
was flooded in those days with gamblers OF the
professional sort There were a dozen faro
banks on the avenue within sight Of Gadsby's
on the corner of Sixth street. Members of con
gress Unhesitatingly entered these places Ser
geant Smith Prentss was said 20 have lost $50
600 in his first term of congress. Ii was in one
Of these places th9t Henry Clay won from
Count Brodisco the corner lot up near Lafay-
ette square, which he afterward traded for an
Andalusisn Jackass. Fox, the British minister;
Gen. Scott, Secretary Marcy, and score of
famous men played picker in those times.
President Tyler was fond of loo" and often
made up game at the white house and played
all day. The stakes were never large but Mr.
Tyler was Just as happy as if he won his thou
sands. At one time Gen. Scott, Henry Clay.
Mr.. Fox, and Count BrOdiscO entered into com
pact TO play whist once a week all winter and
the stake every night was s100 They played
a match game, Scott and the old Russian against
Clay and the Englishman. They were evenly
matched, but Clay and Fox came out ten games
ahead. Scott's loss was said to be as much as
81 200 in this little social amusement. Old
Thad Stevens in later days was famous man at
cards. He didn't hesitate to go into the worst of
gambling resorts 10 get his sport. He PLAYED
with frigid quiet and GOODNESS, and in the course
of his play kept up constant fire OF brilliant
conversation. Probably there are not twenty
five men now in congress who are at all given
TO card playing

W. II. II. Miller, the new encouragement. is
typical Indiana lawyer os high standing.
He has been a member of Gen. Har-
rison's firm in Indianapolis for about ten years,
having left large practice at Fort Wayne,
Ind, 10 join it. He is q man on whom the
president has been acustomed 10 rely. Mr..
Miller is not aggressive, but has plenty of
backbone, and should he ever close his firm
Jaws in earnest, as the occasion of a cabinet
eonAict with Mr.. Blaine, they are not likely to
be relaxed until he shall have gained his point.
Mr.. Miller has never held prominent public
office, and viii enter upon an entirely new ex-
perience in Washington, but he is a worker
and will soon become master of the business
before him. Though he is as little known out
side of his state, perhaps, as any of the presi-
dents advisers, he will exert strong, il quiet,
and conservative influence. Mr.. Miller is rather
under the medium hight, of average build and
about fifty years OF age. He is in the full vigor

birth and education and American in every
fiber. Though he is named after the first

chief, it is nowhere stated there is any family
