Jon es's Successor.

Francis G. Newlands, who viii sue
in Nevada either except Tor purposes
of election Newlands IS now the
representative of the house from Ne
vada. His home is at Chevy Chase
in the District of Columbia. He was
born in Mississippi, went through Yale
studied law in the District of Colum-
bia, and went to San Francisco when
he was q young man. He married the
daughter of Senator Sharon, the min
ing king Of Nevada and became citi
zen of that state in 1888. He was a
trustee of Senator Sharon's estate.
Newlands became prominent in the
silver agitation, and was vice chair
man of the national silver committee
for years. He was elected to the fifty
third congress as representative from
Nevada and has been in congress
even since
NeWlands is a good business man.
He early saw the possibilities Of the
suburban property outside of Washing
ton, and developed Chevy Chase,
where he lives in one of the finest
houses in the district. He made much
money out of this speculation. He is
largely interested in real estate and
street railroads in the District of Co
lumbia, and is very rich. He is now
classed as a democrat and will vote
with that party in the senate.
Another of Mr.. Newland's fads is
irrigation. He has supported appro-
priat0ns for irrigation ever since he
has been in congress, and was one Of
the promoters Of the present irriga-
ton plan. He is a good talker and a
man Of much force.

promptly wrote to tell her so in a IL
rect business like way. He told hel
frankly that he was much too busy a
man to have time to spare for love
making" but if she was willing to
marry him she might let him know in
a week. Miss Threlfall did let him
know, and the answer was favorable
Gainsborough's wooing was made
almost absurdly easy for him He
had completed a portrait of Miss
Burr, a charming young lady of six
teen summers, when his fair sitter
was so delighted with her present

Ough did not decline such a tempting
offer
For constancy it would be difficult
to find rival for Jeremy Bentham.
In early manhood Jeremy Bentham
proposed for the hand of a young
lady, who promptly refused him.
Forty years later he renewed his of
fer, with the same result: and, still
Loyalty cherishing his love in old age,
he proposed again at the age of so in
touching letter, in which he wrote.
Since the day when you pres ented
me with the flower in the lane, not
single day has passed in which you
have not engrossed my thoughts.''
Bismarcks iron resolution was new
er better demonstrated than in his
lovemaking. Al his first meeting
with the lady who was to share his
life for so many years he proposed to
her and was accepted, and on the fol-
lowing day presented himself at the
house of her parents, who knew him
only as a young man of undesirable
reputation, he demanded the young
lady's hand and refused to leave the
house until his suit was granted.
Probably no gallant who ever laid
his heart at a fair lady's feet was
more undecided than Lord Byron
when he wrote the letter which com
mitted him to his unhappy marriage
with Miss Milbanke. He had just
proposed to another lady, and. as he
held her letter of refusal in his hand,
he said to a friend: 1T seems that il
is to be Miss Milbanke after all; l
will write to her" He sat down ana
wrote the fatal letter." handing it to
his friend for perusal.
"A pretty letter. the friend re-
marked, after reading it."It is d

shall go" exclaimed Byron, and thus

ECCENTRIC PROPOSALS.
How Famous Men Manage Their Lo,

How Famous Men Manage Their Love
Affairs.
That there is NO accounting for the
eccentricities of lovers is sufficiently
proved by the odd methods in which
many of the worlds great men have
wooed and won their wives.
When Schumann, the famous COM
poser fell head over heels in love
with Clara Week, his masters daugh-
ter, his path of courtship was by no
means one Of roses. for Herr Week
had no wish to see his only daughter
the wife of a penniless musician, and
he forbade the young lovers to hold
any communication with each other.
But love laughs at parental frowns,
and, as Schumann could not even
write to his lady love, he poured out
his soul to her in a series Of Letters
to Clara" printed in a musical jour
nal of which he was editor.
When the time was ripe for setting
his destiny he made music the vehicle
Of his passion, and actually proposed
to Clara on the piano under the nose
Of her father, without single word
being uttered, and received her joyful
assent through the same medium.
