Daly's, New York, had been selected
Montana people insisted that one OF
their own beauties should have been
selected, and Miss Lillian Russell fatty
charged that she was offered the honor
for $4,000. Others say they could have
had it for $1,000.
The statue is to be eight feet high and
of solid silver. The First National
bank of Helena, Mon, furnishes the
$50, 900 worth of silver needed, and will
own the statue after the fair Closes
while the sculptor, Mr.. R. FL. Parke, of
New York, is to receive $4,000 for his
work. He laid down certain rigid re-
quirements, including no less than sixty
eight measurements, for perfect model,
and appointed Messrs. G. o. Harvey and
F. D. Higbee a committee to get said
model. Verify that committee had
circus. It is needless to detail what they
did, much more what they are charged
with having DONE Suffice it that they
reported Miss Rehan absolutely perfect
in every measurement save two, and in
those diverging from the ideal but very
little. So here are the proportions of
perfect figure, according to Mr.. Parke--
that is, of Miss Ada Rehan:
Head, S34 inches; face, 6 GIG inches;
nose, 2 3-16 inches; hand, 6 GIG inches;
breadth of shoulders, III inches; length
of leg, 2 feet 915 inches Seated she
would measure feet II inches from
point of support to the top of the head,
standing, 1874 inches from sole of foot
to top Of knee; from top of head to bust
line, 171s inches. There are, the COM
mittee adds, many ladies with figures as
perfect, but Miss Rehan is peculiarly
fitted to display the drapery. Her fig
ure, says Mr. Parke, sis severely classic
with the single exception of the face
which may be said to be slightly Mile

baps the best hated man in Chicago by
those who voted against him, and he de-
cided to leave his adopted city and travel
round the world. So picturesque fig
ure could not circumnavigate this globe
without attracting good deal of atten-
ton, and he added to his fame by a re-
markably clever series of newspaper let
ters. When he returned to America he
was met by troop of reporters in New
York, and his journey to Chicago was
one series of interviews. He published
a book embodying his rowing expert
ences, which he entitled ga Race with
the Sum- He was charged with plagia-
rism and repelled the charge with his
customary vigor. Then he wrote novel
which he called "The Secret of the Big
Rock"
In 1891 he ran for mayor against De
Witt g. Cregier, the then Democratic
incumbent, and was charged with bad
faith in so doing. His candidacy de-
feated Cregier and elected Washburne.
The campaign was an extremely lively
one and numbered among its incidents
fight with canes between Harrison
and Mike Mcdonald, the noted Chicago
gambler. Last year Mr.. Harrison bought
the Chicago Times, and has had good
deal of fun ever since giving ''tit for
tat" to those newspaper men who had
heretofore had the whip hand of him in
print. He is tall and straight, keen
eyed, white haired and whiskered, and
is a ready and persuasive talker. His
daughter Lima, who married Mr.. Heaton
Owsley, of Chicago, vindicated her par
entage by having the nuptials celebrated
in Trinity church, New York, on Fri
day, and her jewels were opals.
De Witt g. Cregier is three years ad-
vanced on the ten that, added to three
score, make up the Scriptural span of
human life. He is native of New
York and was left an orphan at thir-
teen. When scarcely more than lad
he went to work in the engine room of a
Long Island sound steamboat, and later
was attached to the engineer corps of
the United States mail steamship COM
pany plying between New York, New
Orleans and Havana. 1t was in 1858
that he took up his residence in the big
city by the lake, his object in going
there being to superintend the setting
up of the big pumps of the city's wat
supply. For twenty-five years he acted
as chief and designing engineer of the
city waterworks, then for three years
served as city engineer, and then became
commissioner of public works, which
place he held for nearly four years.
Los Angeles herald., 1893-01-08

Five prominent Chicagoans are at this
time avowedly in the field, and how
many will enter the lists before the
spring election no one knows. In the
order of seniority the candidates are:
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune;
Carter H. Harrison, of the Chicago
Times; De Witt G. Cregier, Mayor Wash
burne's predecessor; Hampstead Wash
burne, present incumbent, and Wash
ington Hesing, of the Illinois Stats
Zeitung
OF these men Mr. Medill has been
known best and longest by the public.
He was the friend of Lincoln and Grant
and Garfield. He is man of force, and
he has helped to make the history of
his country. Of Scotch-Irish parentage,
with remote Huguenot ancestry, he
was born near st. John, N. B., sixty
nine years ago. With his parents he re-
moved to Massillon, O., when but a
lad, received the usual common school
and village academy education. cast his
first vote for Henry Clay, studied law
and in 1916 was admitted to the bar. By
nature, however, he was journalist,
and he began his newspaper career in
1S49. The Coshocton (O.) Republican
was his first newspaper, and The Daily
Forest City Republican, of Cleveland
was the second. This paper was in 1853
consolidated with The True Democrat,
also of Cleveland, and the result was
the Cleveland Leader, which was sue
cessful from the start and has been pros
porous ever since.
The Republican party was organized
IN Ohio in 1854, and Mr.. Medill was
prominent in the movement. A year
later he went to Chicago, and with
two others bought the Chicago Tribune,
which to that time had been losing
venture Mr.. Medill's genius and
energy, expended alike in the editorial
room and the business office, soon
effected change, and the circulation,
the influence and the income of the paper
grew apace.
During the years Immediately pre-
ceding the civil war Mr. Medill did all
he could to push Abraham Lincoln to
the fore, and the future president used
to pass many an hour in The Tribune
Office with his feet on Mr.. MedilPs desk.
After the election of Lincoln and all
through the civil strife Medill's paper
was an ardent supporter of the admins
tration, and in 1854 he it was who sug-
gested the plan by which the soldiers
might vote and in that way saved the
presidential election Of that year to the
Republicans.
When the city of Chicago was still in
ruins from the great fire of 1871, he was
named for mayor and elected by prac-
tically unanimous vote. The task of re-
storing municipal affairs to their normal
order was a herculean one, but he per-
formed it to the great credit of himself
and the growth and glory of Chicago
1t would be fitting, say Mr.. Medill's
friends, for the fire mayor to also be the
Worlds fair mayor of Chicago.
Mr.. Medill was also appointed mem
Der of the civil service commission by
President Grant at the same time he
occupied the mayors chair, and the
strain of the diverse duties of the hour
was so great as to shatter his health and
send him to Europe for years rest.
Los Angeles herald., 1893-01-08


Since then Mr.. Medill has practically
devoted himself almost solely to his
newspaper. Of late years he has passed
most of the winter months in southern
California. His beautiful country house
ct Altadena, near Pasadena, which was
destroyed by fire recently, was built and
furnished at a cost of not much less than
100000.
Carter Fl. Harrison's personality is
quite as pronounced as Mr.. Medill's.
His career has been full of variety and
push and fight, and he has been the OBJ
jeot Of fully as much ridicule as praise
But those who like him least must ad-
init that he has been one Of those who
save this somber world from becoming
3 hopeless level of monotony, and that
he possesses ability of no common order.
Reporters 81 1uld be especially grateful
to him, for he has created lots of news.
Read this brief summary of biograph-
ical information: He was born in Fay
cite county, KY, Feb. 10, 1895, educated
at Yale, ran farm for time, read law,
Travelled abroad for couple of years
and then located at Chicago. There he

years, was elected to congress in 1874

Every reader of Thackeray will re-
member the Torlonia family, the head
cf which, Prince Torlonia, has just
died. Few, however, are perhaps aware
that he was of French descent. The
grandfather from Auvergne was named
Torlogne and followed the army of Ma
poleon into Italy. The son took advan'
tage of the system of government which
prevailed in the papal states, and
amassed an immense fortune by farm
ing the tobacco monopoly, and the
grandson, whose death is noted, inher-
tied the commercial instincts of his fam
lily and increased the capital which
came to him by inheritance.

1t is big thing to be mayor of Chi

. bigger thing than ever because of the
added patronage and social distinction
that the Worlds fair will bring with it

Politics q Costly Game.

The United States senate is called a
''millionaire's club" and very often
criticism is made ON the prominence of
wealthy men in public life. But the
fact seems to be that none but the rich
or corrupt can afford to hold Office in
these days of large expenditure. For
example, it is said that the lord ieuten-
ant of Ireland has salary of 800, 900
per annum, but the expenses Of the po-
sition are so high as to make big pri-
vate fortune a necessity to the appointee

In 1887 he left the city's service to
assume the management of the West
Side railway under w. Russell Jones
presidency When Mr.. Yerkes' combi-
nation got control of the railroad Mr.
Cregier retired to private life, from
which he was summoned by his election
as mayor in 1889. During his term of
office he seems to have sometimes emu
lated the renowned Haroun-al- Raschid,
whose chief entertainment was found in
going about incog among his people,
and they still tell a story of a policeman
who had a quarrel with constable over
a writ of attachment and was reproved
by an ''elderly gent with flowing whis-
kers," who was locker on during the
alteration.
Larkin was the policeman's name, and
be greeted the ''elderly gents" chiding
with profane inquiry as to his identity,
greatly to the indignation of the latter,
who came within an ace of officially de-
capitating the impudent officer then and
there. Next day the papers printed
portrait of the mayor, and this made his
face so well known that his adventures
la Haroun were no longer possible.
He is somewhat of curio collector, and
the most highly priced article in his col
lection is rusty tin shingle from the
roof of 1.-The Hermitage" the residence
of Andrew Jackson, who is reputed to
have nailed it to the roof with his own
rugged hand. Mr.. Cregier is a member
of the Masons and great number of
auxiliary organizations of one kind and
another.
Hampstead Washburne, the present
incumbent, is a son of the late Elihu B.
Washburne, who was United States
minister to Paris during the Franco
Prussian war. He is thirty-nine, but
looks younger, and smokes cigarettes,
greatly to the distress of some newspa-
per reporters. He is man of property,
and during his service as chief magis-
trate of the Worlds fair city has of
course received his share Of criticism
by his opponents. His election, as above
indicated, came about through the rival
candidacy of two Democrats-Cregier
and Harrison. Before he was elected
mayor he had been city attorney of Chi
cago and ran twice for congress.
Washington Hesing, the editor of The
Staats zeitung and son of Anton G.
Hesing, owner of that paper, believes he
will win the nomination because he was
to have been chosen in 1891 as a COM
promise candidate in place of Harrison
or Cregier. 1t is claimed that Mr..
Cregier was ready to fulfill his part of
the bargain, but that Mr.. Harrison
backed out, and that this is what elected
Washburne. Mr.. Hesing is young
man of ability and energy, and has come
out in statement of his intentions in
case he is chosen as the Worlds fair
mayor that, if carried out, would satisfy
the most exacting.
