Comes to Honor and the Other Chicks
are Rejoicing Over It.
Lemuel Ely Quigg, who was this week
elected member Of Congress from New
York City is we'll known all through the
peninsula. His father. Rev.. B. Quigg; ii
one OF the Oldest membefof the Wilming-
ton NJ. e. Conferences, and has served many
Iof the principal charges in the Conference.
besides being several times made Presiding
Elder.
Ely, as he is famliarly known, is the
youngest son OF the family. and may be
properly called . typical son of an
itinerant preacher.
Naturally bright and smart, and very ag-
gressive, he started out in, the world with
the determination not to be:satisfied with q
back seat in the game of life. 1t is not
often, however. that one so young reaches
the distinction which he has already at
tanned.
- He was born on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland but most of his. life was spent in
Delaware. He is graduate of the Whining
ton High School and also of the Conference
Academy at Dover
Before he was 20 years old he started out
in The world to make his own way. Reach
ng Philadelphia, with only $50 in his
pocket and no prospect of situation, be
accepted a position in book store and did
some canvrssing. Soon after he went to-
New York and secured position with the
American Publishing Company. The
firm. failed and he was given employ
ment as reporter ON the New York Times.
He did good work and was in vited to take
editorial charge of the Flushing Times.
His work attracted the attention of
Whitelaw Reid, who made him very fat
tering offer to go ON the Tribune staff which
he accepted, and for nearly eleven years he
has filed the position with credit.
Last year he had charge of the literary
bureau of the National Republican Com
mittee. He was hard worker and his
work gave universal satisfaction. He was
regular contributor to the North Ameri-
can and several other magazines.
In 1888 he was sent out by the Tribune to
visit the new states that were admitted into
the union. He visited visited every town
and city in them. His work appeared in
in series of letters in the Tribune. 1t
was afterwards published in book form. He
was afterwards sent so the West Indies and |
Newfoundland. Young Quigg also reported
the Lizzie Borden murder trial for the Tri-
bune.
His election to Congress is due entire to
his hard work. For the past two months he |
has made on the average four speeches |
night.
he is tireless worker, and his success,
thus far, is due to his own efforts |
His career is one of great interest to his |
old friends on the peninsula, who naturally |
take pride in his preferment. He is now
only little oyer 0years old. and has won
honors that man of twice his years might
well be proud of.
