Frank ]. LIE Fevre, VINO nails from the 24th
District, will enjoy the distinction Of being the
youngest member in the New-York delegation
Despite the fact that Mr. LIE Fevre comes from
the same district as Alton B. Parker, no Demo
crat was pitted against him, and his election
was therefore practically unanimous. Al
though a young man, he is assumed to have
inherited some Of the legislative capacity OF his
father, who represented his district In the oZo
and SD Congresses, and he himself has served
in the State Senate. Another man who Is ex-
pected to make his mark in the House is Her
bert Parsons, who comes to Congress from the
18th District and who is destined to be elected
chairman of the New-York Republican County
Committee
William S. Bennett who comes from the 18th
HIarlem) District is regarded by the older
men in the party as one of the promising lights
of the party in New-York State. He was prom
inently mentioned for chairman of the County
Committee and from the reports which have
preceded him to Washington he seems to be
destined to add to the glory Of the Empire
State in the House. Another interesting figure
in the New-York crowd is John E. Andrus, who
comes from the 10Th CThe Bronx District He.
too, is looked to to make a name for himself
even in the strongest delegation which the
Empire State has had In the lower cham Der of
Congress for many years.
Still another new face in the New-York rep

who comes from the Long Island District and
who born at Westbury, Long Island. in
1861. He educated at Swarthrnore College,
served as Commissioner of Public Highways.
and in 1900 elected to the State Senate. In
1902 he was defeated for the same place. al
though he ran well ahead of his ticket. In the
race for seat in the House he received 25.4S1
votes. as against 1882 votes for William NIL
lett. jr. Charles B. Law, one of the
bers from the Borough of Brooklyn, is gradu-
ate of Amherst College He is thirty-three years

FRESH BLOOD FROM ILLINOIS.
While there are nine new faces in the Illinois
delegation, and several of them accepted their
nominations with little thought that they would
be elected, James Mckinney. who succeeds the
late Benjamin F. Marsh. of the 18th District,
was confident of his election from the first.
Mr. Mckinney is known as a successful banker
and conservative business man. He has been
for many years president OF the Aledo Bank and
member of the Republican State COMMITTEES
from his district He comes from strong
Republican district, which he is expected to rep
resent in the House for many years. He was
the only man elected to Congress at the gen.
eral election last month all other vacancies hav-
ing been filed long before.
Zeno ]. Rives, who comes from the 21st Dis
trict of Illinois. is possibly the youngest member
in the delegation. He reported last fall to
be only twenty-four years old, but now claims to
have lived twenty-seven years, and, therefore, to

He looks much younger, however, and is leased
about having experienced difficulties with rail-
road conductors refusing to honor passes issued
to him member of Congress the ground
that he too young to be member Of the
House. Rives never spent cent of money

one assumed that his Democratic opponent
would be elected until the votes were counted
Another Juvenile Republican in the Illinois
delegation is Frank L. Dickson. who comes
from normally strong Democratic district. He
is little past twenty-six years Of age and has
been a school teacher He was not present at
