was little more than 10 years old when Lee
surrendered at Appomattox, and a West
Point cadetship never came his way.
General Doe is a resident and native Of
GAINESVILLE, where he was born March 8,
1855. He was educated at Racine college,
graduating in 1874. He is a lawyer, and
has won his way into the front ranks of the
profession in Wisconsin with a regularity
very similar to that which has attended his
graduation in the militia. He has something
of a reputation as an orator and is reputed
to possess good Judgment and considerable
executive ability. His long service in the
national guard and his great familiarity
with its requirements have helped him
greatly in promoting its efficiency, and his
administration of its affairs has been salts.

to fill the office, his friends made a canva of
the legislators and claimed to have secured
the Endorsement of more than a majority of
them, so that his recent election is Of the
nature of a second Endorsement by the gen
eral assembly. The legislature was not
convened at that time, however, and the
governor appointed General Hunton, who
has been elected to fill out the remainder Of
Mr.. Barbour's term, which will expire in
1895, when Mr.. Martin will take the seat.
Mr.. Martin is now in his forty-sixth year.
He is rather below the medium height, is
thickset in figure, has a large head with
very little hair and a clean shaven face,
with light eyes. He has never used intoxi-
eating liquors or tobacco and has never
given himself up to the designations of
fashionable society, devoting his time eX-
clusively to business. For years he has
been a member of the Democratic state
committee of Virginia, and since 1885 has
been considered a potential factor in poll

His father died about that time, and he has
since devoted himself to the support of his
mother and sisters and has remained a
bachelor. He is one of five brothers.

hair and beard just tinged with gray and

From early manhood Senior Mendonca
has been An ardent advocate of a republic

the first republican paper ever published in
Brazil, which soon became the leading daily
in Rio Janeiro. In 1872 he retired from
active work because of i'll health, and when
he resumed his pen dropped politics and
devoted himself to promoting the com-
mercial interests of the country in The
Globe. an industrial paper that exercised Il
wonderful influence on the development of
Brazilian trade.
III health forced him to retire from jour-
nalism again in 1915, and Dom Pedro, who
was his warm personal friend notwith-
standing his outspoken republican opin-
ions. offered him the position Of consul gen
eral at New York. This post he filled I'M
til 1889, when the republic was proclaimed,

naval expedition in New York increased his
prominence in the metropolis, where he
had already become we'll knownin the days
when he was Brazil's s. consul general.
Minister Mendonca is gentleman of cul-

by the many superb paintings upon the
walls of his residence in Washington. A

authorized Senator Hansbrough to re-
port favorably bis JOINT resolution to
turn over to North Dakota the remainder
of the appropriation of $4,000 which
passed congress in 1890, for t le erection
of a p%enltentiary at Grafton. There is
about $4,000 remaining of this appropri-
alton to be transferred to the state.
