ne was asking me the other day If 1 had
any faith In the old superstition" The
ONeili OF whom Mr.. Holman spoke was
Charles O'Neill Of Philadelphia. He and
Mr.. Holman were serving then their fif-
teenth terms in the House. It must have
made Mr.. Holman feel bit creepy when
Mr.. O'Neill died few months later.
Mr.. Holman lived to defy the supersti-
ton. for he completed his fifteenth term
and was elected for sixteenth, after a
lapse of two years. He had just begun his
thirty-first year in the House when he
died the other day.
Mr.. Holman was under the impression
that no man had served for thirty years.
He was mistaken. A representative from
Virginia named Newton not only eclipsed
that record marked unattainable by su-
perstition, but served longer than Mr.. Hol-
man had served at the time of his death.
Mr. Newton closed his congressional ca
reer IN the Twenty second Congress after
serving thirty-one years in the House.
Two years ago the list of those who had
served more than twenty years in Con-
sress was comparatively short. and the
only member Of the House who could be
included in 1t was w. s. Holman of In
diana. The list of that day has been short

of his congressional career by the gerry
Wandering Of his district When the DEM
ocrats got control Of the legislature of In
diana they made Mr.. Holman's district
democratic again and he stayed in Congress
until the landslide of 1894 came and swept
him out. After an absence Of two years
he vas elected again. Those two years Of
absence from the scenes of his long-ac-
CT stoned labOrs, his friends think, had a
great deal to do with the poor state Of his
health after March which resulted In his
death. No doubt there is some reason for
thinking so: Mr.. Holman would have ad-
mitted 1t, for he told me of a colleague
whom he had known Intimately who pfned
away and died when he was defeated for
reelection to Congress, and Mr.. Holman
held that 1t was the change Of habits that
loosened his hold on life. Mr. Holman had
been serving in the House for twenty con-
secutive years when he was beaten for re-
election in 1894 He had been In the public
service for half century. All the habits
of his life were identified with public af-
fairs. He could not accustom himself to
other activities at his advanced age.
Secretary Gresham told me one day that
the reason the justices Of the Supreme
Court hung on sc long " hen they could re-
tire from Office was that they could not
give up the habits of many years and 20

Only two of these. Galusha Grow and
Jehu Baker, go back to the time when JUS
tin s. Morrill, was member Of the House
in 1867.
A Virginia representative was returned
to the House for the fifteenth term some
years ago, but he was unseated on con-
test. Another who approached the record
made by Mr.. Holman was the man who
was for so many years known as father
of the House"-Judge Kelley of Pennsyl-
vania. Judge Kelley was elected fifteen
times, as Mr.. O'Neill was, but he died in
the middle Of his fifteenth term.
