My wife died some time ago. She was the sister of the unfortunate girl mixed up in this case. She and her sister, who ac- companied me on this trip, are orphans. This man Marks came to Scranton, and was there only a short time He told the two young ladies that he could get theIn a good position with the Johnson Optical Company of Mobile, where they could make a good living. One of them went with him. I soon found out that she was gone and went to Mobile and found that the company was a myth. 1 then went to New Orleans where he claimed that he was from, but could not find any one there who knew him at any of the places he had named to persons he had talked with in Scranton. I found from a dealer there that a man answering to his de- scription and name had ordered goods, but gave no address. Finally I located him in Greenville.

 He left Scranton, bringing the young woman, on July G. have been hunting them ever since. They have been here some eight or ten days. I have it from good authority that the man has a wife and three children in Newport, Ill.,"

Mr.. Cannon. as chairman of the Com
mittee on Appropriations. has charge of
the nations pursestrings, and it IS to
him the Government looks for liberal
allowances with which to run the ma
chiuery. His influence is far-reaching
and potent.
Foreign Affairs.
Questions affecting our foreign reIa-
tions are referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, of which committee Mr..
Hit IS chairman. In the last decade
many important and delicate information
al questions have been handled with
skill and diplomacy by Mr. Hits com
mittee.
The most important committee Of the
House is that Of Ways and Means. It is
the ranking committee, because its chair
man is the majority floor leader. But
aside from this it is the Ways and Means
Committee that originates all revenue
bills. and without revenue the wheels Of
the Government would not revolve Mr.
Payne Of New York is the present chair
man OF this all powerful committee in
the next House. over which Uncle Joe"
Cannon viii preside.
Empire State Men
Two other gentlemen from the Empire
State who are Of this big eleven" are at
the head of leading committees. Farm
er" Wadsworth, who, next to Mr., Ping

in charge Of the Committee on AgricuI-
ture. He is very strong with the uIlers
of the soil: Mr., Ketcham is chairman of a
small committee. Expenditures in the
State Department. but then be is second
or the Committee on Postofces and
Posuoads, and second on the Committee
on Military Affairs. And in the absence
Of the chairman he presides.
Mr.. Ketcham. on the 9TH Of next
March. will have served thirty years as
a member Of the House, but not contia-
uousIy He first was elected to the
Thirty-ninth Congress. and remained in
the House until the end of the Forty
second Congress. He was reelected to
the Forty fifth Congress. and served con
tInuousIy up to the close of the Fifty
second, when he retired for four years.
The Fifty-Hfth Congress again found
him member Of the House, and he has
been reelected successfully since.
Until his retirement from Congress last
September to accept an appointment On
the Federal bench. Mr.. Ray Of New York
was chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee. and at this time no committee OF
the House is so important in the public
eye as the Judiciary, because Of pro-
posed antitrust legislation.
Mr.. Steele, in addition to his chair

HENDERSON, OEIonno
In Which

And it was the Englishman's excla-
nation that forcibly brought to my mind
the fact that Of the 357 members Of the
present House, Of the Fifty-seyenth
Congress. only eleven were members Of
the House in the Forty-eig Congress,
twenty years ago
That is not a long time, and yet more
than a thousand members have come
and gone since then. And most of them
have been forgotten. although in the
brief period they played in the political
arena many of them held important
committee assignments and filled a large
space in the public eye.
Some left their impress on the statute
book, but the majority entered on the
scene and disappeared without so much
as causing a ripple on the surface And
so it will always be.

is a difficult thing to do
Mckinley Was a Member.
The House in the Forty-eighth Con
gress in which the twelve named states
men served was a notable body of men.
Among the membership in that House
will be found names written high on the
page of the country's history. Many of
the brilliant men who served their con-
stituents il that Congress have gone to
the Great Beyond, while others are now
enjoying private life
The late President William Mckinley
was a member Of that historic Congress.
So, too, was the able free- trader. Frank
H. Hurd. of Ohio Hurd's free trade
theory was vigorously opposed by George
L. Converse, of the Buckeye State, who
demanded protection for American wool,
and in the first session of the Forty
eighth Congress Converse moved to
strike out the enacting clause of the
Morrison horizontal tariff bill The mo-
ton prevailed. the protection wing OF
the Democrats being led by the late
Sam Randall. whom Carlisle, in that
Congress, defeated for Speaker.
Names Big Four.
OF Names big four in the Forty
eighth-Reed. Dingley, Nuufksn, and
BouteIle-not one is left. All are dead.
The first to die in harness was Hurken.
He was followed by DingIey. And a
few months later Reed. who revolu-
tfonIzed not only the rules of the House.
but the House end of the Capitol, re-
tired to private life to resume the Drac-
tice of law that he might provide a com
potency for his family.
It is but few weeks ago that the
ex-speaker breathed his last in this
city. BouteIIe was beloved by his con
stituents. lie was reelected to the
present Congress when the voters in his
district knew that he would never be
able to resume his legislative duties.
In the spring Of 1901 BouteIIe resigned
and Il few months later he died in i
sanitarium.
Indeed it would be a difficult task to
enumcrate all the members of the House
who have since been advanced by their
constituents. In looking over the mem
bership of the House in the Forty
eighth Congress, it is found that six
became governors of their respective
States, namely, Budd of California, Mel
son of Minnesota. Mckinley of Ohio.
Dockery of Missouri, McMilIin of Ten
nessee, and Gambler Of Georgia.
OF the members who went to the Sen
ate there were thirteen. as follows:
Jones Of Arkansas, Carlisle and Black

Texas: Hiscoclz of New York, Money of
