Mr.. Young's appointment will crafty a

Philadelphia in both of which places he is
widely and favorably known. He has been
a familiar figure in official and social cir

vania knows James Rankin Young.
Mr. Young represented one of the Phila-
delphia districts in the national House of
epresentatives in the Fifty-ifth, Fifty
sixth and Fifty-seventh Congresses. His
friends hoped he would continue, but the
exigencies of Pennsylvania politics demand
ed his retirement to make place for another,
and Mr.. Young, who is nothing If not dis
ciplinarian in politics, acquiesced cheerfully.

editor of the Philadelphia Evening Star,
which paper he had assisted in founding in
1866
Mr.. Young, after he came out of the Union
army, made a tour of the southern states as
correspondent of the New York Tribune,

1879, he was executive clerk of the United
States Senate. He was chief clerk of the
Department of Justice from 1882 to 1883, ana
from 1888 to 1892 was again chief executive
clerk of the Senate.
Mr. Young has divided his residence be-
tween New York and Philadelphia and is
as well known in one city as in the other.
He has charming family, who move in the
older exclusive social circles of both cities.
Mr.. Young is eligible for appointment
under the civil service rules because of
the fact that he at one time was chief
clerk of the Department of Justice and
also is an eX-Union soldier.
