W6CmOro OI RnUQo 1SidHu, HOW SerV- ing his first term, inherited $5,0O0,OO McMillan of Michigan is appraised at about the same figures.
 He is interested in a wonderful va riety of enterprises, from the manu- lecture of car wheels to banks and street railways. Elkins of West Vir- ginia may be put down conservatively at $3,000,0O0; he owns coal mines and vast tracts of land in that state. Flu gene Hale of Maine, married a great heiress, the daughetr of Zach Chand- Ter, and is supposed to possess $5,00O,- 900 or $6,O00,000. Proctor of Vermont has $3,OOO,O0O invested in marble quarries and Smith of New Jersey is credited with $6,O00,000, earned by the manufacture of patent leather.
 The oldest member of the house of representatives is Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania. He has passed his seventy-fifth birthday. Homer, also of Pennsylvania, has seen the longest service, having been elected to thir- teen congresses. The fattest and heaviest member is Tom Reed, the speaker. The tallest is Cy Sulloway, of New Hampshire. He measures four inches over six feet in his socks, and his beard and hair are long and black. In appearance he resembles "root and yarb'' doctor, and it is authentic history that he was at one time a scoffer at religion. But he chanced to be engaged, as a lawyer, to defend some Salvationists, who were arrested for disturbing the peace at Manches- ter, N. H., and being converted to their cause, became himself an en- thusiast, paradfng with fife and dru n and a pious transparency. Subse> uuently he married a Salvation army lassie.
 It is not certain who is the shortest representative, but George B. McClel Ian seems to have a fair claim to that distinction. The baldest is Cooper of Wisconsin, unquestionably. Over on the Senate side Gallinger of New Hampshire boasts the least half. It was said that Adlai Stevenson, when he was vice president, used to like to put substitutes in the chair who look ed as much like himself as possible from the point of view of the press gallery, and so he chose Gillinger of tenest. The Santa Claus of congress, now as for many years past, is Stew art of Nevada With his silver hair and beard, he is the very picture of Kris Kringle.
 There has never been any dispute as to the identity of the homeliest man in congress since Cockrell of Missouri was elected to the senate. There is no malice in saying this, for he him. self takes pride in the fact Even Pettus, the new senator from Ala bama, makes no attempt to dispute with Cockrell for the distinction. Ex- cept for Cockrell, however, Pettus would be an easy winner in this re- gard. Pettus is 72 years old, and per haps by reason Of his years and eXper- fence he considers himself entitled to be heard in the upper house, like Nestor in the councils of the Greeks before the walls of Troy. Anyway he recklessly violates senatorial prece- dent by talking great deal, and often he says very funny things with out meaning to be so.
 The homeliest man in the lower house is Eddy of Minnesota, and like Cockrell, he brides himself on it. H. has even disputed the point with other members. He dresses like a farmer, in a gray, nondescript cos tune which looks so soiled that it does not show dirt. His moustache is always just about four days old, and his whiskers have growth of two days. How he keeps them so is a mystery, but he has never been seen clean shaven. Withal he is quaint humorist and a man of considerable ability.
 The handsomest member of the house, in his own judgement, in Bar rett of Massachusetts. He wears a neat Van Dyke beard and gold-bowed eyeglasses, and he is always very well dressed. as becomes a man who has a high respect for himself. Every body else thinks that Bailey of Texas, easily bears offthe palm for purchri- tude in that legislative body. The ladies are all of that opinion and they ought to know. Bailey is a big man, smooth shaven, and with a strong face full red lip and youthful look. His attire is spick and span, and his broad -brimmed slouch hat gives him
