into New York. A man who had been
staring at me for some time hnailN

in awed tones, Are you Major Mck1n-

Well, I thought it was queer said the

here without his coming being announc-

Yonder comes an oddly assorted
couple-Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma
and Representative Grow of Pennsylva-
MIA. Mr.. Flynn is one of the youngest
members of the house, not yet "a, and
locks much younger while Mr.. Grow IS
one of the oldest, having served in con-
gress some thirteen years before Flynn
was born. Speaking of the younger
members, the son of the late ex-Speaker
Crisp is the youngest-about 26, though
looking hardly 49, He is slim, boyish in
manners and extremely retiring-!n

be better filed. He is no stranger in
Washington, having been his fathers
clerk for several years, and he finds
only warm friends in congress. When
he was sworn in fortnight ago the ros-
ter of congressman was complete for
the first time in the history of the pres
ent house, 375 members. Among other
popular young congressman is William
A. Smith from the Grand. Rapids, Mich,
district. On the senate side Mr.. Marian
Butler of North Carolina is called the
"Populist baby" He was not quite 80
years of age when he entered that au

Next to him in point of youthfulness
comes Mr.. Boise Penrose of Pennsylva-
nia who will be about 36 when he takes
his seat in the upper house on the 4t,l
of March next. Senator Cannon from
the new state of Utah was born in 1859,
and became United States senator ir
1896. Senator Pritchard of North Carp
lima was born in 1857. Senator-elect
Penrose comes of good old Quaker stock
from the city of brotherly love, where
they care a good deal more who your
great grandfather was than to know the
exact amount of your bank account
He Is handsome young giant. six feet
tall and unmarried. 1t is said that he is
not particularly partial to the gentlar
sex, but prefers athletic sports or a quiet
game of whist with masculine friends to
any petticoated divinities that ever were
born. He Is somewhat eccentric in his
dress, wearing sack coat of unusual
length and broad -brimmed, bell

that Major Mckinley had sent an emf

Chicago and ascertain whether he would
accept portfolio If rendered him. The
source from which the authority for the
statement comes is beyond question.
Further strength to the statement is ad-
ded, II such be possible. from the fact
that Senator Cullom of Illinois. who has
been considered for the place, has drop

kinley to have Cullom remain in the
senate as there Is no telling what might
turn up should the Mckinley forces in
Illinois attempt to replace him with the
