BIOGRAPHIES ARE
REPRESEXTATIYES AXD SEXA
TORS' LIYES TOLD.
Government Has Just Issued lee-
trv of Its Law Makers.
JC
Washington, May 18. (Special) A
neat little study in biographies has
Just been Issued by the government
printing office. It is a hefty, red
bound volume of 475 pages, called of
ficially, v ''The Congressional Direc
tory." A goodly part of the book is devoted
to the biographies of the congressmen
and senators. They are all autobio
graphies; or at leaB( prepared by
friends of the subject. They rang
from seventeen words, contributed by
Representative Redfleld, of New York,
as his life history, to 534 words, em
bracing the events which marked the
career of Charles Manley Stedman, ot
North Carolina". ;
. The senatorial biographies are less
interesting to the seeker after knowl
edge, than those Submitted by rnember
of the lower house and particularly
the new members. There are a good
many who don't hesitate to heap en
conlums on themselves. Among these
is Adam Brown Littlepage, of W. Vir
ginia, who remarks:
"He (that is, himself) bears the rep
utation of being a very grateful man,
never forgetting a kindness, and if
faithful in his friendships and thor
oughly reliable. H? stands for the
under man in life. Works hard, late
and, early as a congressman and Is re
flecting credit upon the country by
his manly, conservative and wise
course In Washington as a representa
tive of the people. He Is a patriotic
man, of ability and fine qualities ot
mind and heart."
Rep. Ezekeel Candler, of Mississip
pi, who is a veteran 'member, says
naively that his family has been prom
inently Identified wtih the history of
the Btate from the days of tbe revo
lution up to and including the pres
ent." ;
', Rep. Janies Alexander Daughtery, or
Missouri, sets down the fact that he Is
regarded as one of the strong men In
the Missouri delegation."
Rep. J. J. Kindred declares In his
Sketch that he "has In no sense been
a politician."
Rep. Chas. E. Patton, of Pennsyl
vania, declares that "his agricultural
experiments have been of great benefit
to th community.";
A careful count of the biographies ot
the members of the house reveals the
fact that out of the 398 representatives
delegates and commissioners, 246 am
lawyers. Twenty-six members neglect
to state the nature of their business,
so this is not a complete census.
Next to lawyers, In point of num
ber, come the farmers. There are 28
of them.' 'Many of them are only ag
riculturists on the side, however. The
banker's list totals 22. Then come the
newspaper men. There are 15 of these
besides one "Journalist." Rep. Sher
wood, democratic, Ohio; and two pub
lishers;" Utter, republican, Rhode Is
