I mean that tall man with his hands in his pocketS. Ho is dressed in black , and his long coat hangs from his square shoulders as though It were on a wire frame in front of a secondhand - hand clothing storb. Ills arms are long , and , ou can almost see knots at the elbows and shoulders. Ills thin , bony hands extiind out below his cuffs. Now he puts lila bands in his pockets , throwing back his coat and inak- Ing himself look inoro gaunt and angular than ever. See how his face comes out on thfi ground glass of the camera ! It is strong , but it has a rugged strength , and Ite lea- turos cr0 almost as angular as those of the rest of his body. Tim cheek bones are as iigh as those of an Indian. He wears no ; mustache , and stiff , short lilack hair mixed with gray foims a bristly beard around his ' angular chin. Ili eyes are sunlcn. Ills I' \ forehead is high and full. his nose Is large and strong. It ; Is so prominent that ho resta his gold eyeglasses on the bridge at least an Inch below the point used by the spectacles of the ordinary man. As I look one of his Tellow senators comes up. Tim angular man greets him cordially and gives him a pump- handle liako of the hand. The two clint and laugh together , and it is evident that the ; tall , angular , rough-featured man is telling a story. That man Is Shelby M. Cullom , the United States senator from Illinois , and the man 'whom that state will present to the St. : Louis convention for the presidency. Cullom is a typical son of Illinois. Ibm in Kentucky , hauled In a canvas-covered wagon through the woods and over the atumps of Illinois when he was still a baby 3uat cutting lila first teeth , lie was raieel in a. log cabin and got his schooling at a coun- try achool. His early 4ifo was mUch like .L that of Lincoln's-who , by the way , he strikingly resembles. Working on tIm farm , 1ie eliot up tail and elendor-an angular boy , who later on devolopeil Into an angu- lam man. His education was mcger. He -went to school at a little seminary , and by burning the midnight oil within a couple s\ ol years found himself at the edge of the grave , 110 had , I think , a hemorrhage or two , and for a time thought that a farmoi"e career was the only ono that would keep 2dm alive. lIe went back to his father and waikcd behind the plow in his bare feet Until - til the life.broathing properties of the soil and the pure air gave him the muscle which eablcd him to go back to his studien. After a bard struggle With his liealth ho succeeded at the law , got into iolitlcs , be- catno governor of the state. was elected. to congress , Then to the senate , and is now one of tim candidates for the nomination of the mepublican party as president. IOWA'S FAVOItITI. In front ot Senator Cullom sits another presidential candidate. lIe in not as tall as Cullom , but ho weighs , I venture , twice as niuch. lIe hAs a squaro-shapod head , bright , twinkling brown eyes. a complexion as fair an that of a girl , and a cqlar as white as the marble statues in tIm ' rotunda of tim capitol. This collar is of the aid fashioned iind. It is the biggest collar worn In the United States senate , and If you could turn it down you would find on its back written .1 the name of its owner , W. Ii. Allison. . Senator Allison Is so near Senator Cul- lom that Colluin could. loan over and stick : a wisp of straw Into Allison's car , whore. . 1ion Allison would jump , but would iDol ; about and laugh , lie Is a remarkably even tempered man. Ito never gets excited and 21es'el. lossea his head , Now he gits up and moves across the chamber. Notice how quietly lie goes , and still there Is an air about him that shows you ho means to got tiiore. Allison always doca got there , and 'though lie iooku lazy and seems to take things very easily , he is one of the hardest workers in the senate , lie does ziot look to bo 8 years of age , and hue digestion Is Probably - ably perfect. Now ho writes a letter. He holds lila pen like that of a school b y , and ho pens his words In true Sponcerian style , making every curve of the iroper vhape , As be writes t long-bearded man , with a head nOt much bigger than a. base ball , cornea up and ; ails down beside Alllaon. lie puts hits hand on Allison's shoulder , and Allison turns t around. lie greets the tong-bearded juan cordially and chats with him , placing his hands on tim man's knees , as though he i loved him. Still , there Is no bye lost ho- twoen theo two men , That littio nian with the base bali head and long beard Is PetTer , and , I venture that away down in his vaul Allison despises him ; but Allison is a diplo. suet , and there Is no need of showing It. There are some curious things about Au- ! d Son and Culloni. 110th were born the same \ , year , both worked on a farm , both got their schooling In log school houses and both voro educated in sacond-claca colieges Alit. onwas born In Wayne county , Ohio ; Cut- lorii was born In Wayne county , Kentucky , Allison was one of the heat spellers of Wayne county. At 10 lie wont to an academy t Wooster. 0. , and worked on tim farm during him , vacations. Next ho went to Al- loghpiiy college at Meadvillo , then taught school and flntse4 his college oducatlou at the little town of Hudson micar Cleveland. . lie then wont to Ashind , 0. , a town of about 3OOO people , anti there studied law , Io was deputy county clerk at the name time Judge Stewart , John Sherman's fathom.

Davis. and though lie ties withdrawn train the presIdential race , .l , , niunh may yet be mentioned among those which come Up at St. Louis. Cushi Davis I , a curious.looking nian. lie is very tall. lii , shoulders are slightly bent , and his littio semi-bald head is fastened to them by a short neck , lie is one of the most studioug men of to senate , and one of the best read. Ito ha one of the finest private libraries of the country. Ito is a great lover of boolce , and when ho wants to rest from his studies he drops what ho is at and takes up some work in a different literary line. When ho Is tired of thinking of politics he translates a lot of Virgil or Iloraco for a change , and when ho finds-as tie does sometimes , I venture , for he is a trifle lazy-lila ambitions flagging , he bol. stern himself up by reading the life of Alex. ander the Great or that. of Julius Caesar. To hint the greatest man who ever lived was Napoleon , lIe was ama admirer of Ibonaparte long before the tresont craze concerning him broke out. Ito has alre3dy about 400 Napoleonic hooks In his librumy , and he Is always picking U Inure. A IIUSTLEIL FROM 'WAYIbACK. As I compare Davis with Culioni and Aill- son I think of the three great men who have Indidod time lives of thceo presidential candidates - didates , Davis is a worshiper of Napoleon. Allison was brought up en Henry Clay. Cullom modeled his life utter that of Abraham - ham Lincoln , and over there , so near CitI- lam that lie could' hit him with a paper wad it lie choo to throw It , is another senator- a young man-of some presidential ambition , who all lila life has worshiped at the shrine of James 0 , Iliaine. That miiau is Stephen 13 , Elklns. Note how ho sits there behind his mahogany desk , perfectly at case in the senate of the United Statesb lie Is one of time youngest of tim prospective candidates ar.d perhaps the richest. lie owns miles of railroads , thousands upon thousands of acres of timber and millions of carloads of coal. lie has , towne and villages on his cc- tate , and his irlncipaiity inS'est Virginia is unsurpassed by that of any man east of the Mississippi , AntI still Elktns began his life as a poor boy , liii went across the plains In a canvas- covered wagom to New Mexico , studying Spanish on the way. lie settled In Santa Fe as a lawyer , and ; mmtde money out of both the Mexicans and the Spaniards. One of his first good jobs was in connection with the Maxwell grant. Maxwell paid him a salary of $7.000 a year for defending his Interests , an at one time lie got $10,000 from Maxwell for a single hour's work , lie first came to congress as a delegate from New Mexico , and after leaving the house of mepresontativec he made $50,000 a year hero at Washington practicing law , From Washington he took the dollars he had saved to New York , and they there bred for him more dollars , in. creasing their yield almost as fast as Australian - tralian rabbits , which are said to be the fastest breeders of the 'world , The result was that he soon had a big fortune , and by joining this with that of his father.in-lav , exSenator Henry 0. Davis , he became pos- scesod of his wonderful estate InVest Vim- ginia. Senator Elktns is not lying awake at iiiglmt waittng for time presidency. lie told me once that If it came hits way , and got near enough to him so that ho could put his hands on it. ho would take it , but ho added that he did not think his chances were very good. lie Is a healthy' looking man. and does not lose sleep over Ills political am- btticns. lie Is a good organizeriand knows all about practical polttic.s. Ho l , however , a more cultured man than many suppose. lIe is well educated and has the studious bent. lie likes Browning , quotes Tennyson frequently and reads Greek , Latin and Hebrew - brow In the original , Io Is great walker , and keeps his system in good order by ex- emeise. ITo dresses In bus'oeas clothes , but his linen Is always or the whitest. His skin is as rosy as that of a country girl's after she has taken a scouring at the pump , and his abort , white teeth are strong , sharp and exceeding clean. THII SILENT QUAY. As I look , Senator Hoar of Massachusetts waddles up to Elkus and whisper in his car. Hoar. Is a , lry joker , and he is probably - ably . .malcing one of hi sarcastic remarks , for Elkins bursts kite a laugh. hoar sits down , and the two chat together , smiling like school boys , rather than sedate United States senators. As they do 'o , a dark-faced man in front of them turns about and almost scowls. That man Is also a presdential candidate , but ho is not a candidate who smiles. He seems to sit and brood. lie reminds you of Cassius , though ho roes not the lean and hungry look of Shakespeare's thinker , He Is , however , a plotter , and he is one of the strongest of our political managers. His name is Matthew Stanley Quay. He is the man who carries Pennsylvania in his pocket , and who has been chosen by that state as Its candidate for this presidency. Quay is a natural fighter. . lie would ratier fight than oat. When he was in the army , you remwnber , lie was sick , and he Insisted on going to the battlefield. The surgeons and his auperiors told him he was a fool ( making tIm attempt , and he replied : "I would rather die a fool than live a coward. " Quay is now in his prime. He is tall , well rounded and healthy-looking. Ho keeps 1dm- self in trim by taking fishing excursions. Ills chief exercise at Washington is in po- httical work. He goes hut little in nocioty. You never see him about the hotels , and there Is nothing of th hail-fellow-well-met about his character. Still , I am told lie Is a man of more than ordinary culture. He is well educated , lies literary tastes , and his house at Beaver , Pa. , is packed wit1 books. "I AM A DEMOcRAT2" On the other aide of th senate chamber there is a democratic candidate who is muchi like Quay in character. This' Is David 13. 11111. Look at him as ho sits there , with one ; hand in his pockets , leaning boclc in hiiscliair , with 'his glaes on his eyes. Note how his jaws are fastened together ! They are as tight as a sprung rat trap. Sea time determination in his countenance , how lie gmiJs the arms of iiti chair with his hands. lie is evidently planning out some political scheme , and you can almost see the light darting out of his eyes train under his heavy brows as he sits there , like a sphinx , and thinks , and thinks , and thiink , As you look at him now ho scenic to be almost statuesque. You would hardly imagine lie lied life. Stir him up , however , and you wIll i3e. Ho is a natural fighter. hi go about with a chip on lila shoulder , and he is ready for a quarrel at the drop of a hat , Let us get a better fDcus , What a queor.looking man Hill is. his head Id as bald at the top as a new drum head , and quite us white. A heavy black moustache covers his mouth , and at the lower edge of his forehead there are heavy dark eyebrows. Now be looks up at the gallery. 110w sharp lila eyes aroi l'hiey seem to look might thruugii you , and it is said that 13111 can tell a man at a gianco , How aggressive they are , and how full of determInation ! The soul back of those eyes has faith in Itself and depends on Itself. 11111 confides In no one , Ho baa many acquaintances , but low friends , Ills soul is wrapped up in ambitions. Ho piot lila own campaigns and uses other inca to carry theta nut , He Is one of the hardest of workers , , and still be hao neither wife nor family to work for , lie has never married , and ho keeps bacielom'a hell hero in a big house on Lafayette Square , out of 'the win- dowa of which lie can look at the white house and have the goat of his ambitions before him while he plots how ho may reach It. enatox- Hill keeps himself In prima physical condition. lie is simple In his tastes , eating little and drinking less. lie to bald to be a good boxer , and his knows thi use of the puiioy weigtta , punch- lag bags and dumb belts quIte as 'well as does Secretary Olney. lie Is a careful worker , and lie knows how to economize his labor. Timers comes a page with hits mail , The letters are laid down on the desk before him , Note bow lie opens them ! lie sticks hits finger under time lap of each envelope anti tears it apart. Ho takes out time letter within amid unfoldj It deliberately , reading It while lie still keeps the ep- velope in hits hand. Then refolding the letter - ter lie puts the envelope and the letter to. nether , and with one tear mends them In two and throw.a 4o pieces into the scrap basket. There is not one waste motion , and If we are to judge by his actions a iarge vart of his immail goes unansweretj , for of the ten letters brought to him In this mail , eight have been thus read and consignPd to the lYasto basket.

Ito is the smoothest man In the united States senate. lie has smooth clothes , a smooth taco , and a smooth man- nor. Ills face ii that of a statue. The eyes are steel blue. They s'nilo , but they are sehionming and calculating. Ills complexion is aimest rosy , but his well-shaven face Is cold-oh , so cold ! That man hopes to ho president some day , Probably not in 1596 , but nevertheless some day. Ills name is Arthur I' , German , and he has until lately been the supreme boss of Maryland , and one of the strongest thInkers of the demo- cratio iiarty. Ills whole life he ha , spent in the school of politica , and lie Is now one of the best organizers of the United States. Ho began his political studies when lie was a page in the United States senate , lie contiVued them year after year , and in office after office , until lie became a United States senator , and now , in his 0s , he Is nne.oZ the ablest of his kind. Ito baa efiucate'l himself during the tntcmvais of his political work. Ho makes a good speech , and lie is a man of more than ordinary - dinary ability. Ito has made .a fortune as well as fame , and he now owns a big farm in Maryland , not far from Washington. and has a magnificent home bore within a steno's throw of the white hobso.

' " Leon Victor Augusto Bourgeois , who sue- ceeds lii. lbemthelot as minister of foreign affairs - fairs in the French cabinet. has had a long experience in numerous olfictal positions with the administration and control of coin- munal and departmental affairs. At various times ho has been under secretary of time interior , minister of tim interior , minister of public instruction and minister or justice. One of thin most dramatic scenes In time French Chamber took place in connection vitli the Panama scandals , when M. flour- goots vindicated his honor against the cliargo leveled at him by Mme.

In 1580 ho was secretary general of the prefect of the Seluie ; lie has been prefect of Haute Garonne , director of communal affairs in thu ministry of the interIor and prefect of p0- lice. 1888 ho was returned a member of tIme Chamber of Deputies for the first time by a by-election. Ho was under secretary of state when Fioquiot was minister , me-elected to the Chamber in 1859 , minister of public instruction - tion in 1892 and minister of justice under the cabinet of Itibot.

Nourse of Boston , who was a member of the Nile expedition of 1885 , under General Wolseley , thinks that General ICttcli- oner is the greatest-living fighter of Arabs. He knows their language and thcir custonis. rciigtoUs and social , and Is able to go among them Ia disguise vitii impunity. . During the Weiseley campaign Mr. Nourse and his boat comrades were proceeding up the river close to the bank , when they passed an Amabpro- , polling an Irrigation wheel. He warned them to keep to the other shore , but the voyagers only laughed at his words. Then they man around. The Arab descended to the bank and remarked in excellent English , "You to keep away.

Ho said : "You will be surprised when I tell you that my first theatrical performance in this city wan given come sixty yeais ago. In Ireland's history of the stage I ibid a record of the fact that 'one Master Joseph Jefferson appeared at a benefit given to one Master Titus.

" C Osman Dignis , the great leader of time'tier - vishies against whom the Egyptian army is now marching up the Nile , Is one of those a mystoriotu adventurers thrown up evory..emy years by wonderful and romantic AfriCa. All sorts of stories are told of his origin. It is std be was born at Suaktm , that hia C grandfather was a Turluisli slave dealer , and I ho himself , like his two preceding ancestors , Is a dealer In slaves. Another story has It f that be was born In Francs in 1836 , and r christened at the Cathedral of Rouen under the name of George. his father was a Jo. t seph ilshiet , who tailed to business and vent to Egypt with his wife and chIld. Ito died I there , and the wIdow married Osmnan fligna , g a slave trader. who gave his name and fortune - m tune to the French child. Whichever story p 15 the true one , It is certain that Osman o All , or Digna , ( meaning 'jo of the beard" ) a was a powerful and rich derchant In 1882 , when the insurrecUomi broke out , under Arabi ii Pashia , and that lie espoused this cause o : ii tue latter. So great was Osmuan's power that a the nialidi and hits successor were compelled v to treat the "Frenchi Arab" with great consideration - c sideration and to defer to his power.

I , t.r' ( Copyright , 1806. by. thiMcCiure , Limited , ) Few of the multit , , tbat will gather in Ibrookiyn on April 7 to cheer and admire the equestrian statue of General Grant , to be unveiled that day , and just completed by William Ordway ParIrdgo , wIll realize what it has cost In time , in study and in life force to produce this crystallized memory and interpretation of a great nman. It has been my pleasure , In several talks with , Mr. Partridge , to learn something of the tnflntto pains that were taken in making the horse alone , of castings takemi from the living ant- mat , of horses brought into the studio and taught to peso there , of a special railroad constructed to carry the statue back and forth from tIme studio , In short of new moth. ode In time art of sculpture. Wimen ho received his commission Mr. Partridge was In I'nric finishing his Shakespeare - spearo statue for lilcago. At once lie began to put In practice DIane he had long had in mind for doing an equestrian statue on lines of artistic realism never before attempted - tempted , aettimg permtasiomm front the mm- later of war and from the military governor of Paris , lie made many visits to the barracks - racks of the famous French Cuim-assiers , antI day' after day ho watched and studied them in and out of the saddle , until time various poses and movements of horse and rider were perfectly familiar to himn. Then , having In. mnimid tile general concep- don of the statue of Grant and his charger , the chief effects he wished to produce , tue ecuiptor began 'working on. a small four-foot model. This preliminary but essential part of lila work occupied many weeks. In doing it ho made casts from dead horses , sometimes - times flayed , sometimes with the Jude on , and in this he followed the best methods of the great animal sculptors of Paris. As hme worked this' thought came to him many times : "Wbat a pity always to make casts from dead animals and to get our guiding suggestions - gestions from stiffened , distorted muscles. Would it not ho a fine thing to take casts from the living horse ? " But such a thing had never been at. tempted , and , therefore , was pronounced Im- possible. "Noverthielesu , 'I shall .try it some day , " said Mr. Partridge , and the following year when ho returned to Amer- lea. with his finished and accepted model he proceeded to carry out the idea. TAKING CASTS OF LIVJ hORSES. "You will get your brains kicked out , " said an artist friend , "If you try to cast the leg of a live horse. " But with his devoted helper , Gtovanni Repetti , who is at once plaster maker , skilled castor and cheery philocopher , with Italy's auashiino in heart and face , Mr. Partridge - ridge withdrew to his studio among the elms of 2dilton , Mass. There live rich men with great estates and ocoes , sometimes bun- Imods , of horses In their stables. Here may ho seen the' peerless Sunol , Nancy Flanks and other animals of price , owned by tIme sculptor's neighbor friends and read- ui placed at his disposai.

So perfect was the adjustmmient of the turntable that oven whomi loaded with ten tons of clay ( the weight of the complete statue ) Mr. Partridge could turn It smoothly with a movement of his hand. whereas by the old methods the strength of three or four men would have beoui me- quired.

S. Mcclure , Limited. ) NEW YOl1IC , April 9.-Thirty years ago , oil the evening of the 14th of April , in the city of Washington , Abraham Lincoln was shot by Wilkes Booth. Time man who a short time before had freed three millions of slaves , on that evening - ing sought recreation in. time delights of time drama. Before time night was over lie lay dying at a little boarding house on Tenth street , and , by one of those coincidences conimmiomi enough In fiction , but exceedingly rare in reality , he lay in time same room where tim man who fired the Iatal shot. had often slept. The writer of this article , by an accident , that night met with an adventure , time mcmii- cry of whlcim , alter ttmlrty years , eomnes to him like that of somno far-away , yet vivid dream. I was a member of the United States Christiami comimmission from Clinton , N. Y. , nerving nmy second term a a delegate - gate , and was stationed at the commission's headquarters oh Tenth street , about two squares froni Ford's timoater. Ml' duties had enabled me , after a abc weeks' stay at Washington , to' become thor- ouglmiy acquainted with the city and suburbs - burbs , am , I was detailed to carry supplies to many of time hospitals then so numerous in' amid around that city. It was after a day of' unusual toll that , vomn out by my labors , I lay on my emit , coat and simoos off , reading amid iesting. One of our drivers caine in and made a hurried anncuncememmt that I'resident Un- colmi hail just been shot. at Ford's theater. You can imagine what. an IS-year-old boy would do on hearing such news. Snatching the first coat I eaw , puttlmmg on immy shmoe in hot baste , and not waiting to tie thorn , and taking a : cap thmab belonged to sonme one else , I rushed to Ford's theater , where the deed imad been done. Owing to the lateness of time hour , therciwas not. so large a crowd as I had expected. Mr. Lincoln had just been carried across the street to Mrs. Petor- son's boarding house , where In tim doorwap stood a littlb group oomnposeil of officers and gentlemen who wore In time theater whemm the shot as fired. With a boy's desire to see everything , I pushed up tIme steps , and at the open door was met by a lady whom I at once rocog- amized as Mrs. Lincoln. Sue wanted sonic one to go to thmo white imouse for her son Robert. "I'll go , madam , " I amId. "And whmo are you ? " came from time lips of an officer whose manic I aaw to be that of colomiei by time eagles on his shoulder straps. "A member of the Christian commiaston , " I replied , and hastily timrouu'Ing hack my coat showed him on time lapel of my vest one of thmo silver badges worn by tue Cimrlstiau comnmi.ssiomm delegates , and so well' known and favorably regarded by all army olflcers "Well Cimmistian Commission , do you know time way to time white house ? " "Yes , sir , and anywhere else in Washington - ton , " was the answer. "Vehi , fire away , then. " Hastily starting I ran down time street and turning went to Willard's hotel , in front of which I knew were always carriages , night and day. I walked by s'averal'and selected time ommo that seemed to me to have time best. horses , I told the driver to go as quickly as possible to thin white house. Such an order' was not at all uncommon in those times , particularly frotmi Withard's hotel. I remembered that Baker's detectives ( ta citizemm's clothes ) and a dotati from tIme Invalid corps , were on guard at the white house , After gettiimg out of ear eliot of the ohmer lia knien , I told time driver what I was goiimg for. I told him , when we got to the executive mansion , to turn around , so that when we eanie out we could yeas timmough the lower gateway , time seine one we entered. I met several gentlemen In the first rooni , They Lad not yet heard of time event at Ford's theater. Taking aside one of time ushers I quickly made known my erraimd , Ho at csice took me to Robert Lincoln's room. lie was partially umdressod , but quickly made ready amid came with inc to thu rosin below , Time usher In time Interval bad. told the imeople below , and they were of course excited , or rather etummned by time news. At Mr. Hobart Lincoln'a request Senator Charles Sumner , who was one of those pres. omit , entered the carriage and we wore quickly Irlvomi to Tenth street. The utreot had been cleared and a guard at cacti end of the block kept back time ccnstaiitiy Imicreasing cjpwd. When time occupants of time carriage wore recognized it was allowed to pass , and soon Imoth Robert Lincoin and ommator Sumner avoro at thin president'u bedside.
