The navy department has received
from the makers, Tiffany & Co., of
New York, the sword voted to Adni-
raj Dewey by congress. 1t is said to
be the finest sword in existence. With
the exception of the steel blade and
the body metal of the scabbard, the
weapon is composed entirely of 22-

Nelson Dingley, jr., governor of
Maine in 1s74-75, and member of con-
gress from the Second congressional
district of Maine since 1881, was born
in Durham, Me-, February Is, 1882, the
son of Nelson and Jane Lambert Ding
ley. In 1854 his parents moved to Au-
burn. At II he taught winter school
in the town of China, IA miles from
home, and he continued to teach win
tiers while fitting for college.
Entering Waterville college (now
Colby university in 1851, he remained
there year and half and then be-
came student at Dartmouth college,
from which institution he was gradu-
ated in 1855 with high rank. After
leaving college Mr.. Dingley studied
law in Auburn, and was admitted to
the bar. Instead of entering upon the
practice of law, he decided to become
a journalist, and in 1856 he purchased
the Lewiston Journal.
In 1861 he was elected representa-
tive from Auburn to the state legisla-
ture, in which body he at once took
high rank, was reelected several
times and was speaker of the house in
1863.
In 1873 Mr.. Dingley was nominated
as the republican candidate for gov
ernor of Maine and was elected by
about 10000 majority. In 1874 he was
reelected.
He actively participated in the presi-
Dental campaign of 1876 and in 1881
was nominated by the republicans of
the Second congressional district to
fill the vacancy in congress caused by
the resignation of Hon. William P.
Frye. He was elected by majority
of over 5000.
When he entered congress he was
made a member of the committee on
banking and currency, serving there
eight years. At the beginning of his
congressional career the country was
disturbed OH the question of the ex-
tension of national bank charters. He
Immediately ideitified himself with a
bill for the extension of the charters
of the banks and in the face of much
opposition helped fight the bill
through.
But it is difficult to name any i'm
portant legislation in congress of the
last Is years with which he was not
identified. His first speech in congress
was made April 25, 1882, on "protec-
tion to American shipping" While he
had been active in financial matters
he was thoroughly informed on ship
ping, having come from state with
large shipping interests.
Mr.. Dingley was not an orator. He
lacked the physical presence, the de-
yelopment of throat and chest and
quality of voice which make men ora
tors. None the less all the members
listened when he arose to speak. He
had wonderfully lucid way of as
serting facts, going at once to the
heart of every contested point. He
also had remarkable faculty of pre-
senting an argument. His mind was
logical to the highest degree.

Katherine MacNeiii.

One OF the most popular light opera
stars on the American stage, as well as
one of the most capable business women
in the profession, is Katherine MacNeill,
whose portrait appears in this number
of The Mirror. At the head of her own
company she has lately made tour OF
the country, playing uninterruptedly for
thirty months. Miss MacNeill has a
splendid contralto voice, which was
trained for grand opera by La Grange
in Paris. The early appearances OF Miss
MacNeill in this country were made with
Emma Juch and Madame Tavarey, and
she sang the contralto parts in many of
the standard grand operas with great
success. But the opportunities for ad-
vancement In this line of work were few,
and Miss MacNeill decided to turn her
attention to light opera. She formed an
excellent company, rehearsed large
number of the best known comic operas
and began her career as a prima dona
managress. That she has been emf
nently successful is beyond question,
and one need only read the press com
ments from the cities in which she has
appeared to know how thoroughly both
she and and her company are appreci
ated.-N. Y. Dramatic Mirror.
Miss MacNeill, who was given the
above complimentary notice in the

of the Columbia Opera company which
