There is always some member
of Congress who possesses voice
far superior in depth and colume
to that of any of the other mem-
bers, which in itself serves to
give the mem Der possessing 1t a
certain reputation. III the pre-
sent House this voice IS possessed
by Marriott Brosius, of the Tenth
Pennsylvania District. Mr..
Brosius has faculty Of talking
SO loud at times that the people
in the galleries cannot dlstlng-
uish what he says. Another
Pennsylvania who possessed a
similarly powerful voice was t"e
late w. B. Kelly, commonly
known as "Pig-Iron" Kelly. In
his day he held the voice record
against all corners, until Charles
H. Van Wyck, of New York ,
who was afterWard a Senator
from Nebraska, appeared on the
scene.--His voice was even greats
er than that of Mr.. Kelley.
Back in the old days the great
est voice known to Congress was
that of the late William Allen,
ct Ohio, whose statute now
stands in Statuary Hall at the
Capitol. 1t is told of Mr.. Allen
when he was in the House be-
fore the days of rail roads, that
