achieved in the political field. In 1870
the Republicans nominated him for con-
gress in the Fifth district. AS the entire
state of Maryland was at that time
largely Democratic it was a foregone
conclusion that he would be defeated
When nominated for governor, in 1879,
his very handsome vote was overcome by
the same expected Democratic majority
Mr.. Gary has been a delegate to every
national convention of his party since
1872, and from 1880 to 1896 has repre-

The home life of Mr.. Gary has been
quiet and happy. In 1856 he was mar
ried to Miss Lavinia W. Corrie, daugh-

citizen. Seven daughters and one son
were the fruits of this union. The son,

EX-CONGRESSMAN JAMES WILSON,
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.
Ex-Congressman James Wilson of
Iowa. to whom President Mckinley ten
dered the agricultural portfolio, is a
man well fitted for the position which
he is to fill. He is not q native of Amer
lea, but from the time he was 16 years
old his life and work have been devoted
to the interests of his adopted country,
and particularly in the line of her agri-.
cultural development.
Mr.. Wilson was born in Ayrshire,
Scotland, Aug. 16, 1885, and came, with
his parents, to America in 1851. The
Wilson's lived first in Connecticut, re-
moving to Iowa when James Wilson
was still in his 'teens. - The education
of the lad was Of the common school va
riety, but years of reading and other
self education developed his mind liber-
ally, and by the time he was 81 years of
age he was able to teach school himself.
This he did for number of years in the
neighborhood of Buckingham and West
Union, Ia. At this time young Wilson
was very poor, and it was said that he
often went about barefooted because he
could not afford to wear shoes. How
ever, his frugal habits of life soon en-
abled him to lay by snug fortune, and
he retired from pedagogy and bought
farm. His interest in agricultural pur-
suits led him to devote nearly all his
time to the management of his fine es-
tate. He became prominent in all move
ments for lettering the condition of
farms and farmers, and also in the i'm
provement in the breed of cattle.
Recognizing his peculiar abilities, his
neighbors elected him to the state legis-
lature, where he served three terms. A
few years later-in 1874, in fact-a
larger constituency elected him to the
Forty-fourth congress. He was re-elect-
ed for a succeeding term, and after
lapse of six years was again sent to
Washington, this time as a member of
the Forty-eighth congress.
At the close of his congressional ca
reer he returned to his home in Iowa
and again centered his attention upon
his beloved hobby, agriculture. Besides
the management of his magnificent farm
he found leisure to devote much time to
assisting the researches of agricultural
societies and writing largely for agri-
cultural publications.
In further recognition of his worth
and usefulness in his chosen field of eff
fort. Mr.. Wilson was made professor of
agriculture in the University of Iowa,
at Ames.
Personally Mr.. Wilson is quite popu-
lar. He is an easy and fluent talker in
public or private, and is said to make
friends merely by his pleasing and IN
affected manner

JUDGE JOSEPH McKENNA, ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL
Judge Joseph McKenna of California,
the new attorney general, is a native of
Philadelphia. He was born Aug. 10,
1S43, and removed with his parents to
Benicia, Cal, in 1855. His education,
commenced in the public schools of
Philadelphia, was completed at the
Benicia Collegiate institute, now St.
Augustine college, where he studied law.
He was admitted to the bar in 1865,
and in the same year, at the age of 20,
was elected district attorney of Solano
county, the duties of which Office he dis
charged faithfully for four years.
In 1875 he was elected to the Cali
fornia legislature. While serving his
constituents in this capacity he made
reputation for himself as champion of
the public school system, then suffering
seriously from sectarian attacks. In the
following year he was nominated for
congress, but was defeated by small
majority. His friends were determined,
however, that their champion should
have a seat in congress, so they contin-
ued to push young McKenna for the
office, and finally, in 1884, he was elect
ed by handsome majority. In 1888 he
was again nominated and elected, and
in 1890 the same honor was conferred
upon him.
On Feb. II, 1892, President Harrison
appointed Mr.. McKenna to the position
of judge of the United States circuit
court to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Lorenzo Sawyer.
1t was while both were serving on
the ways and means committee that Ma
jor Mckinley and Judge McKenna form
ed the friendship which binds them
now, and it was here that each recog-
nized the special capabilities of the 9th
er. President Elect Mckinley has always
held high opinion of Judge McKenna's
ability as a jurist, and his appreciation
of Judge McKenna' IS knowledge of west
ern affairs and the general interests of
the interior have no doubt largely indu-
enced him in making this selection.
