A STUDY OF SENATOR'S.
An Artist Looks at the SOlOnS With
the Eyes Of a Critic.

Not Remarkable.
MIR. D. Mccarthy, an artist on the STAFF
of the New York World, who has done a
lot of work for his paper in Washington,
where he had an opportunity for studying
the countrys statesmen critically, has
been considering the senators in sections.
He began at the feet and worked up to
the crowns, paying attention to the sena-
torial stomachs en- route. His observa-
tons were, of course, illustrated but
what he had to say of the solons is worth
repeating, even without the pictures.
THE SENATORIAL HEADS
The chief difference between man and
monkey resides in the shape of the
head. Mr.. Mccarthy, who probably
knows more about human beings than
most men know about the alphabet.
showed very clearly in his pictures the
difference between many senator's and
the higher apes In some cases the
difference was striking, but these cases
were lew. In studying the pictures the
artist cautioned observers to remember
that the creative faculty is found in the
front part of the head, and executive
ability in the back head, that com bative-
ness is shown in the width between the
temples and general intelligence by the
hight of the skull above the top of the
ear.
With so much by way of introduction
the artists story may be carried on with
out change of tense or reference to the
fact that the pictures are lacking:
ANY country boy will notice that Sen
stor Chandler has top head stolen from
some irrita bic crow. His head is that of
hot-tempered bird. The next time YOU
eat broiled woedcock notice the shape
of its head, and you will see that the bird
in different form might have repre-
sented the state of New Hampshire in the
Senate. Senator Chandler has cantan-
kerous tophead which suits his irritating
feet. his self satisfied beard and his trivial
stomach
Senator PETER has an Aztec head. 1t
runs back TO point, and with a head of
such shape he has no right to the amount
of intelligence he has shown in the
Senate. His eyebrows. with their big
bumps of perception, and his good nose,
together with his ears placed far down on
his cheeks help to make up for his short
Oomings, but his head is unsatisfactory
and he should work hard to live it down.
Senator Brice'S head seen from be
hind, looks like an unkempt. brown bush
Seen from the front, it looks like glass
sively. The young newspaper men who
live in Washington and imagine that
they make the laws, say that Mr. Brice
has Young woman of great skill come
each day and curl his hair. But that is
nonsense. His hair curls naturally Look
at it, and you will see that no sane man
WOULD make his hair curl like that of his
own accord
Proctor. the able Senator,who shaved
OF beard in his old age, has a top
head worthy Of that grand performance
His eyes are good, too, and the entire
shape OF MS thinking anatomy is admir-
able. He has not as fine head as Hoar,
the senatorial cherub. Mr.. Hoar com
blnes the tophead of Walter Scott with
Lne NOUN and nose of a nursing babe
Few men in the Senate can compare with
him for variety of facial scenery.
"Gorman and Villas have heads so much
ankle IN general shape that it is difficult
to believe that Villas head makes him
only senatorial messenger boy for the
President, while Gorman's makes
him able enough to give the
same President the biggest kind of a
rough aud-tUmble fight. German has a
very well balanced head It has not
enough character to make of him a genius
or a great man, but it keeps him from
being any kind of a fool, except the kind
born of excessive cunning.
Mills head, according to Mr.. Quigg,
who recently beat Mr.. Bill Brown, is an
exact copy of the head of Michael An
gelo's Moses" MIR. Quigg. as an art
student IN Rome, studied Michael An
gelo's Moses more than any one work
OF art, and he knows it by heart. He
says that If Senator Mills goes to heaven
with that head shaped as it is now, An
geIo Will think that immortality has been
conferred upon his statue
Stewart has one Of the tallest heads
in the Senate Rnr his head ia dapaitful
1t Is really not as good as the perfectly
fat head that holds Mr.. Vests intellec-
tual capacity. 1t is not worth while to
say anything about every one of these
heads, as the real idea is to give pictures
Of them and let the intelligent reader do
his own thinking. 1t is interesting to re-
feet that the head makes the man abso-
lutely, and that these heads make the
men who make the laws that make or I'M
make us all.
"Englishmen will be interested in the
resemb lance of Senator Coke's head to
that of the late Bladlaugh. 1t is the
same fighting head, with the bullying
brain above the eyes, but Coke, big as he
is, lacks the top head that made Brad
laugh, even with his silly religious en-
cumbrance, bigger than any man IN the
House of Commons. Where Coke has
that dent just back of the forehead
Bradlaugh had bump, and that is why
Bradlaugh was about seventeen times
as big a man as fine Mr. Coke the Texas
giant.
"Sherman's head is that of a fine In
dian improved. 1t is as roomy as bas-
ket trunk, and it is splendidly shaped. 1t
Is better head than any mead elected to
the presidency of this republic in a great
many years. The most complimentary
thing that can be said of Senator Cock
rell's head is that it is wonderfully like
that of Nym Crinkle. 1t has the same
geometrical striving toward the perfect
circle at the top and the same arrange
ment of eyebrows. If Mr. Cockrell had a
1ne head Of hair he might be as univer-
sally saluted and horored in New York as
Nym Crinkle himself.
The other men are as you see them.
Mcmillan amounts TO nothing, Murphy
is well balanced, Dolph is shaped better
IMAM his deeds would lead you TO expect,
Falmer is big enough above the ears, but
not deep enough from forehead to back
mead. Call has no head worth speaking
OF, and Smith is vast and roomy. Hill has
small head. 1t probably contains as
much ability and as much cynicism as any
uead IN the collection.
