Few Congressman Win Distinction.


The average length of q career In
congress is four years. At the begin
ing of every congress about One-third
of the members of the house are new To
the business Ii is rare thing for
mem Der to make any sort of a mark in
legislation before he has been in the
house at least two full terms, and those
who have forced themselves above the
surface before the close OF single
term can almost be counted on the
fingers of one hand The ordinary con-
gresham comes and goes and leaves no
trace behind him, except on the salary
vouchers. The man who stays in the
house for more than two terms has
fair chance of welding little influence.
He gets his name into the congress
sionsl record once in a while he is
recognized by the speaker occasionally,
and if he is unusually lucky the news
papers take him up and sometimes give
a headline all to himself.-Ainslee'

Medal of Honor Legion.

The Philadelphia contingent of the
Medal of Honor Legion, composed of those
who have been awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor for distinguished conduct
in battle, celebrated "Appomattox Day" by
a dinner at Dooner's Hotel, Philadelphia.
OF the 1000 who have received this dis
tinction from the United States Govern
ment, about 600 survive. OF this number
500 are members of the Medal of Honor
Legion, 65 reside in Pennsylvania, 80 OF
whom reside in Philadelphia. Gen. Theo.
S. Peck, of Burlington, VT, is the present
Commander. The next convention of the
Legion will be held at Brooklyn, N Y,
and it is probable that Washington viii be
selected for the meeting of the following
year. All wearers of the medal are dele
gates to the Convention. The Government
exercises great care in the issuance of
these medals, as will be seen that so far
the number has not exceeded 1000 since
the passage Of the act in 1862, while the
Cross of the Legion of Honor of France
number $1,000 issued since the order of
Napoleon Bonaparte. So that the bronze

signifcance of Thick Lins.

DR.. A. Bloch, the French anthropolo
gist, attacks the theory that thick lips
are denotement Of sensuality, while
thin and delicate lips denote spirituality
firmness and elevated character. In q
recent paper the scientist claims that the
shape, size and color Of the lips are purely
race characteristics, and that in the hybrid
peoples OF Europe and America, where
there has been such a general interminpliun
Of races, child may well inherit from NO
very remote ancestors lip forms that com
pletely belle the actual character Of the
child, as indicated by the lip theory. DR.
Bloch's Investigations satisfy him that
really thick lips in the white races are
always anomalies or freaks of nature.

PERSONAL.

The friends and admirers Of Col. Richard
Henry Savage, the well-known author,
are making a strong effort to have him
placed on the retired list Of the Army. He
has had wonderful career. He was born
in New York in 1916, but taken by his
parents to California, and served in the
California volunteers in 1S62-'63. In 1864
he was appointed to West Point, and gradu.
ated in 1868, sixth in a class of 81. He
was commissioned in the engineers, and
served on the staffs Of Gems. Halleck, Ord,
Thomas and Schofield, on Indian and
frontier duty, till 1871, leading expeditions
in Colorado and Arizona, and winning
much credit. In 1871 he was discharged
at his own request, and became a Major
in the Egyptian army under Gen. Chas.
p. Stone, serving there two years. He
then returned to engineering and law,
with some intervals Of Consular service,
and in 1891 began his literary career.
He has written a series of widely popular
novels, one, "My Official Wife," having
been translated into II languages. At the
beginning of the Spanish war he promptly
entered the service, and helped organize the
I'd U. S. Volunteer Engineers, of which
he became the senior Major, and had the
distinguished honor of hoisting the first
American Flag in the Province of Habana
He was made senior Captain Of the 9th
U. S. Vols, but had to be honorably dis
charged on account Of total disability.
All veterans and sons of veterans will be
glad that, in spite of the bitter fight made
on him by the Omaha Bee, Senator Thurs
ton was elected Delegate to the National
Convention. Senator Thurston is one of
the men who grows in reputation every
year.
The Obi Soldier thinks that Capt. E.
l.. Lybarger is not a candidate for Com
mander-in-Chief He is member of the
State Board of Public Works, and Grand
Master of the Ohio Grand Lodge of Masons,
two positions which take up every moment
of his time.
Brevet Brig. Gen. Silas NJ. Bailey died
at his home at Uniontown, Pa, May 5,
aged 46. The cause was brain trouble
from bullet wound. He went out as a
Captain in Sth Pa. Reserves, became Col
onel OF the regiment, and was brevetted for
gallantry in the Wilderness and at Spottsyl-
vania. He was elected State Treasurer
of Pennsylvania in 1881, and was one of
the famous 1905" who stood by Gen. Grant
to the last in the Convention in 1880.
