the time young Milliken graduated from
Union college in 1856, he was vastly bet
ter equipped than arc most collegiates
for getting on in the world, for he had
what they have not, the self reliance that
comes Of actual and successful experience
with conditions which the yonng man
with ambition has to meet And so it
was not surprising that in less than two
months after he graduated he was elected
to the State Legislature from Camden,
serving in 1857 and 1853. His marked
abilities were soon recognized. He was
elected clerk of the supreme court of
Waldo county and was admitted to the
par. He demonstrated not only his
knowledge of law but skill in politics and
familiarity with political questions.
Always a pleasing speaker, ready in re-
partee and fully informed, he became
celeofated as a stump speaker through
OUT tine country for several years previous
70 entering Congress. In the House he
mas Deen recognized as one of the best
speakers in that body. His command Of

convention in 1876 and was president OF

convention OF 1880 June oath Of that
year he was nominated for Congress py
the Republicans OF the fourth district.
His opponent had carried the previous
congressional election with a majority OF
nearly 5000. This time he received but
$50 more votes than did Mr.. Boutelle.
But the defeated candidate was 1T one
who knew the meaning OF defeat. The
next contest he won, and first taking his
seat in the 4Sth Congress he has continued
to serve with distinction.
Well informed on all public questions,
he has contri buted greatly to the success
Of Republican measures Naturally he
was especially interested in, as he was in
timately acquainted with, naval affairs.
The time was ripe for the application Of
such abilities and experience 10 those
affairs. II was Mr.. Boutelle who drafted
and secured the passage of the measures
which insured the construction of the
first three modern battle ships OF the new
navy and those swift commerce destroy

His father was a shipmaster and the son
after receiving such education us he could
obtain in the public schools of Brunswick
and at Yarmouth Academy, went to sea
at the age of Is and continued to follow
seafaring life until he was 26. Those
who know the man, can easily understan
how gladly he entered the service of the
Union when he returned from foreign
voyage and found the Rebellion in pro
gress. April s, 1862, he was commits

active service In plenty. He served in the

Visitors TO the gallery of the House Of
Representatives, today, need not hesitate
long to point out the most distiDg uished
looking member on the floor of the cham
Der, nor would they differ in the seec-
ton. Hon. Charles A. Boutelle attracts
attention wherever and with whomeyer
he may be. His commanding figure is
erect and martial in bearing: his face Is
strong full of character and impresses
one as being that of Il man who is fear
less and honorable, representative who
is incorruptible, who may BE- trusted to
legislate wisely And it need not be
added here that his looks do not belle
him.

come, she heard him calmly through
and then answered languidly: Eyes,

for she said if it came on to rain she
thought she'd stay with her cousins.
Good night Quite drizzly, isn't it,"
peering out into the darkness.
Full of bitterness, Jones turned home
ward. 1t seemed 10 him that his cup
was full, and SO it was. for it refused 10
hold more. AS he entered his home,
chilled without, but hot within, he was
greeted by an unfamiliar voice coming
from the regions of the telephone.

fine presence and q pleasing style early
won for him the reputation OF being one
of the most effective debaters.
Mr.. Milliken first entered upon his con-
gressional duties in the 4Sth Congress
and his service there has been continuous.
He has been a thorough protectionist and
has contributed several valuable speeches
upon the subject. Aside from his work
on other Important committees he long
held tina craftsmanship of the committee
on public buildings and grounds, to
which he was reappointcd by Speaker
Reed, although 1t is stated ON good
authority that he requested Mr.. Reed, if
returning him to his old place would in
any way embarrass the speaker, in view Of
the number OF important places assigned
the Maine delegation, not to do so. 1t
was right that Mr. Milliken should have
the place, which he had filled with CON
spicuous ability and this was sufficient
for Mr. Reed. During his service upon
that committee Mr.. Millilen has reported

vention at Chicago in 1884.

perfectly proper to everybody, as il is Mr..
Dingley who is the new chairman of the
ways and means committee, which the
past few weeks has had the most i'm
portant legislation to consider. And it is
no discrcd!t to his illustrious predeces-
sors to say that no one of those distin-
guished men who have been chairmen of
this important committee has possessed
tirmer grasp upon or wider and clearer
comprehension Of its duties.
Mr.. Dingley is the eldest son of Nelson
and June l.. Dingley and was born in
Durham, Feb. Is, 1882. At the district
school be evinced studious habits and
made the most of his opportunities. AT
that early time he became interested in
the temperance movement in Maine, an
interest which has never abated. In 1855
he graduated from Dartmouth college
with honors. He then studied law with
Morrill, & Fessenden of Auburn, and was
admitted to the bar IN 1856. That same
year he bought half interest in the Lew
iston journal and the year following be-
came sole proprietor and editor. He
added daily edition of the Journal in
1861, when his brother Frank, became
associated with him. The great success
which the Lewiston journal has attained
under their skilful management is its
own commentary. Mr.. Dinglcy served in
the Legislatures of 1862, 1868, 1864, 1868
and 1873; was speaker in 1863 and 1864.
He was elected governor in 1878 and the
following year by an increased majority.
In 1881 he succeeded Mr.. Frye az repre-
sentative of the second district.

honors which the 54th Congress poured

fleet. Later he was assigned to command
of the naval forces III Mississippi souno.
Jan. IA, 1866, he was discharged at MS
own request after nearly four years
honorable and gallant service
Immediately after leaving the navy he
for time commanded steamer running
between New York and Wilmington and
then was engaged with commission
house in New York. In 1870, he turned
his attention to an altogether different
field of labor, accepting the position OF
managing editor of the Bangor wing q
Courier with which he has since been
identified. His editorials at once attracted
attention, for Mr.. Boutelle writes as ne
speaks, with vigor, directness and posi-
tivencss. They were able, patriotic and
soon became associated in the minds or
their readers with the personality OF the
man. Meanwhile the editor found time

own living he succeeds in obtaining IN

Milliken did as young man, although
his grandmother, it is said, gave him three
dollars at one time when he was walking
to school, distance Of, 40 miles, TO save
stage fare But the Milliheu boy had
good blood in his veins if he had but few
dollars in his pocket. His paternal an
