tor Aldrich is the paragon of modesty
in the story of his public life. 1t Is

Here is copy from the Congressional
Directory:
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich Rcpub-
lican, of Providence, was born at Eos
ter, r. l., Nov. 6. 1S41;, received an
academic education: was president of
the Providence common council in
1919; was a member of the Rhode
Island general assembly in 1876.
serving the latter year as speaker of
the house of representatives: was
elected to the house of representatives
of the Iorty-sxth congress and re-
elected TO the Forty-seventh congress;
was elected Oct. 8. 1881, to the United
States senate to succeed Ambrose F.
Burnside Republican; took his seat

respondent. 1t has come to be q prov
erb in Washington that there are three
men at the national capital who are
never interviewed-the president, the
secretary of state and Senator Aldrich,
There is tradition in Washington
that Senator Aldrich never reads a
newspaper. Strictly, this is not cor
rect. He probably reads his home pa
per il no other. The editor of that
paper is one of the senator's intimate
friends. He used TO be a Washington
correspondent, but lie never divuiged
a word that the senator spoke to him.
1t is true, however. that the senator
is not voracious reader of newspa-
pers or of magazines. There is rea-
son. He is accustomed to meeting
men of great affairs in all parties. He
is always on the alert for information.
In this respect he has the instinct of
a good reporter.
He has been in the senate twenty
eight years. AS previously stated. he
will be siXty-eight years old on his
next birthday. If he would part with
his white mustache that gives him the
look of an old grenadier and could be
induced to shade his hair he would
pass for a man of forty-five. His
shoulders are square and broad His
physique and carriage are the envy of
many young men. He has the ac-
tivity of a cat and the tireless work
of draft horse. His cheeks are fair.
tinged with the hue which comes of
good sleep and health. He is temper
ate in his meat and drink, and the enc
mics OF tobacco will look wise when
Informed that he never uses the weed

lie had never cared for it: indeed, he
added, he had never thought about it,.
