WASHINGTON IRVING BABB.
One of the Candidates for Governor of
Iowa.
Washington Irving Babb, one of the
candidates for governor of Iowa, was
born Oct. 4. 1844, on his father's farm
In Des Moines county, near Burlington.
His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Miles
Babb, who came to Iowa from Pennsyl
vania and were of Dutch descent. There
were but two children In the family,
W. I. Babb and his sister, Mrs. Belle
Mansfield, now dean of the music and
art school of De Pauw university.
Greencastle, Ind. Miles Babb died
when his son was young. Anxious that
her children should have an education,
Mrs. Babb sold her farm and moved to
Mt. Pleasant, that she might enjoy its
educational advantages. Young Babb
i immediately entered the Iowa Wesleyan
university and continued until 18G3,
when, at the age of eighteen, enlisted
in the famous Fourth low, cavalry and
served until the close of the war. Then
he reentered college, graduating In the
class of 1866.
Having chosen the law as his profes-
lon, he at at once entered the office of
Ambler & Ambler, anJ, on his admit
tance to the bar was made a mem
ber of the firm under the name of
Ambler & Babb. After a few years
he formed a partnership with John S.
Woolson, another leading lawyer. The
firm of Woolson & Babb t once be
came recognized as the leading one In
southeastern Iowa and enjoyed a large
practice. The firm was dissolved four
years ago, however, by the election of
Mr. Babb to the district bench. Short
' ly after his partner. Mr. Woolson, was
appointed United States Judge for the
southern district of Iowa. Judge Babb

Charles B. Lewis, better known by
his pen-name of "M. Quad," was born
In northern Ohio early In the forties,
and, after receiving a common school
education, learned the printer's trade.
Desiring to better his condition, and
hearing of an openlngdn Maysvllle, Ky.,
he started for that place. The steam
boat on which he took passage was
blown to atoms by the explosion of its
boiler, and for several months Mr.
Lewis hovered between life and death
In a Cincinnati hospital. When the
war broke out he went to the front
with the Seventh Michigan cavalry, and
served with his regiment throughout
the conflict. After being mustered out
he went to Michigan and again took
up the printer's trade. . He was con
nected for a time with the Pontiac
Bill Poster, and then drifted to Lansing,
where one winter he was engaged to act
as legislative correspondent for the D&

to Detroit and became a reporter for
the Free Press, continuing his connec
tion with that paper for over. twenty
five years. He made himself and his
paper famous with his short stories and
articles depleting the humorous and
pathetic phases of city life. A few years
ago he became connected with a New
Tork paper, and since that time has
resided in Brooklyn. Mr. Lewis has
written a number of novels that have
been well received, but he Is best known
as a humorist. Recently he returned to
his "aid hame" on the Free Press.

excited and running to its mother,
wjt was in the audience, cried in audi

Hamilton W. Mable, the essayist and
editor, is frequently mistaken for an
Englishman, probably because of his
well-groomed appearance and the fresh
look of health in his face. He happens,
however, to be an American, for he
was born at Cold Springs, New York,
fifty years ago. He is a man of attrac

out-door life as his writings make oth

tale upon every lip

like the scenes ot
the Bible, in setting

enacted here.
In New Mexico, where the native pop
ulation may be seen dally in the wheat

where the grain is still separated from
the chaff beneath the feet of horses,
where the mortar and pestle are still
commonly used In the home manufac
ture of flour and bread is baked in a
clay oven resembling a dog kennel (for
stoves are very uncommon in the adobes
of the Mexicans outside the principal
towns), there suddenly burst upon the
view of these people, whence no one
seems to know, a man bearing a strik
ing resemblance to the pictures of
the Christ who looked upon just such
scenes as these nearly nineteen hun
dred year-- ago; a man who tastes not
of food; a man whose touch brings sight
to the blind, hearing to the deaf, motion
to the halt, peace unto the suffering.
Like the Christ, he was first doubted
by these people, though he came among
them professing to be no more than he
appeared. Like the Christ, he won his
followers by his kindly deeds, his cures
of the afflicted, his unselfish devotion

persecuted by the higher class of the
Mexican population, threatening him
as an imposter, a sharper, a schemer, a
lunatic, and his persecutors he trans
formed into his stanchest frlend3.
For more than two weeks he has
been followed by hundreds wherever
he has gone. To-day a constant
stream of people passes before him
praying that he touch their hands.
Blind, deaf and halt are led or carried
to him; women with tiny babes bring
them to him to bo healed of ailments

lowly homes he most frequents or in
the homes of the rich and prominent,

lines of carriages and wagons and sad

enters; the owners, drivers or rlder3
have come for him to take him to the
home of some one who Is suffering.

the same, and from no one will he take
a cent for the services he has per
formed, though money is repeatedly
pressed upon him. For all he has the
same kindly greeting, the same kindly
treatment.
Stories of his cures are beyond be

many men good and no man harm

In Albuquerque rushed breathlessly
into the office, his face the picture of
amazement. The day previous he had
been at Peralta, a small town on tho
Rio Grande river, about twenty miles
south of that city. There, he said, he
had seen a man who was the perfect
picture of the prints of tho Christ
which adorn the walls of the ancient
Cathedral of San Felipe, the towers of
which have been outlined in the blue
sky of this southwest land for more
than three hundred years. This man
had been surrounded all day long by
crowds of people. He had held the

hands of a blind man and sight had
been restored to him; he had touched
the hands of a woman who had been
paral'7.ed for years and she left as well
as in the days of her maidenhood; ha
had treated many others, and all had
been benefited. Since his advent into
that village, in a miraculous manner,
several days before, It was known he
had not tasted food.
He is a man of about bIx feet in
helght, and weighs probably 160 pound3.
His form is that of the athlete, and,
like the athlete, he has all the supple
grace of the man of trained muscles.
First to apply to him for the healing
touch was a relative of the host, an old
man who had totally lost the sight of
on eye. Motioning him to a seat by
hla side, the "Healer" took the hands
of his patient in his own. For five
minutes the two sat there speechless.
The lips of the "Healer" could be seen
to move from time to time, ard oc
casionally his big blue eyes were
rectcd upward. Now and then, too, a
shudder seemed to pass over him, his
body swaying with emotion. The old
man's sightless orb was directed to
ward the face of the man to whom he
appealed for succor and his body
swayed with the emotion of anticipa
tion. They sat there speechless until
the old man arose, and with a sigh de
parted to the placita.
Men, women and children took the
seat he had vacated, and the former
proceeding was repeated. Some left
the chair declaring their pain had van
ished; others said they bad noticed no
beneficial results. As the "Healer"
held the hands of his patients he talked
with the people.
"I shall be 39 years of age In a few
days," he said. In answer to a ques
tion. "I wa3 born In Alsace-Lorraine

am, therefore, a Frenchman."
