PROMINENT MEN
WHO LOOK ALIKE
People in Public Life Who
Have Remarkable Facial
Resemblance.

The New York Tribune recently
told of a Paris merchant who is so near
ly the exact double of the president
of France that on the streets and in
other public places he is greeted and
saluted as M. FaIlieres. The Wash
| ington Star gives some instances oil
notable doubles in this country. The
resemblance of the president 10 his
former secretary of the navy and at
torney general, Mr.. Moody, has al
ways been the subject of remark, and
now and then of humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr.. Moody has been ele
waited to the supreme court, he has
come across another double in the
person OF James Maher, clerk of the
court.
When Justice Moody first met Mr..
Maher it was as member of the
house of representatives, when the re,
semblance between the two was re-
marked. Again, when as attorney gen.
eral he was obliged to go to the court
room he occasionally saw his double
and now as justice on the bench he
can look over the edge of his judicial
gown any time and practically see
himself as others see him. Mr..
Makers resemblance to the president
is striking when in repose, but when
he speaks or smiles he is obliged to
acknowledge that owing either to the
subduing atmosphere of the court or
to lack of dental qualifications he can
not vie with the chief executive.
The resemblance of Senators Al.
drich and Foraker is also striking, al.
though the distinguished senator from
Rhode Island plays the role of a reti-
cent general maneuvering his forces
on the floor of the senate, while the
senator from Ohio acts the more strik-
ing part of a dashing officer with
standard uplifted ready for the fray.
regardless of the distribution of for.
ceS. If Mr.. Foraker's well-covered
head were matched by the hirsute
adornment of Mr.. Aldrich the resem-
blance would be complete. But stand
ing side by side they appear as broth
ers, and their similarity is frequently
commented upon.
Now and then Representative Adm
over to the senate end of the capitol
and whenever he does so he gives a
shock to some one, who, upon seeing
him, is startld at his striking resem-
blance to the late Senator Quay OF
Pennsylvania. He is more robust in
appearance than his prototype from
Pennsylvania, and much younger
But the resemblance was always strik-
ing, and when Senator Quay was nv
ing and in the senate, with Mr.. Cap
ron in the house they often INDUCED
in stories of mistaken identity.
Two senators stand as competitors
in the degree of their resemb lance to
the pictures of a widely advertised
doctor, the virtue of whose remedies
are announced in the public pint
in connection with a picture of the
doctor in the attitude of attention with
uplifted hand admonishing the sick
These senators are Clay of Georgia
and LaFollette Of Wisconsin They
are enough alike to be brothers were
it not that one is of the most gen.
erous build. while the other is below
the average height. Both wear their
hair pompadour and both can defy
the senate when they make up their
minds to do so.a
Senator LaFollette. was recently
passing the marble room, when Phil
adelphian nudged a friend and re-
marked:
Il wonder if DR. is here in the
interest of the Pure Food Law
He had not before seen the Wiscon-
sin senator
Senator Carter of Montana and Rep
resentative Livingston are rivals in
the role of replicas of Uncle Sam
When Livingston went to Venezuela
some years ago to observe conditions
there he was warmly received by the
people, who knew the United States
chiefly by having seen pictures OF
Uncle Sam When they saw Living
ston they declared that he was Uncle
Sam personif1ed, and some of them
believe him to be the owner of the
United States. Either Carter or Liv-
ingston could pass anywhere as the
prototype of the typical Uncle Sam
without adding any stage parapher-
