There will be some odd specimens in the next House of Representatives, and people who happen to meet a few of the new mem- bers 16 will wonder how they ever got to Con- gress. Mr. Niedringhaus, of St. Louis, who will succeed John J. O'Neill, pres- ent Chairman of the Committee on Labor, is a manufacturer of kitchenwnre nnd has a fortune estimated at between $1,000,000 13 and S2.000.b00. He obtained some valuable patents and made his money in a compara- tively 20 short period. He doesn't reside in the district w men ne is to represent, bat mi big fnctory is in the district and he employs 22 more than 1,000 men, women find children. Outside ot business matters in which he is directly interested, Niedringhaus is a thor- oughly ignorant man. He absolutely knows 21 nothing of public men and affairs. It is estimated that the Republican managers in IS St. Louis who put him up made him carry the whole ticket in the district, and they bled him for "campaign expenses" to the tune of 575,000. He was being introduced 27 around the capitol this week, and when pre- sented 28 to a man as well known as Senator Hissock, of NewtSTork, said: "Glad to meet 29 you, Jlr. Hiscock. "What State are vou irora, sir?" On meeting Senator Sherman, and others equally as prominent be asked the same question. Mr. Niedringhaus, it is useless to remark, hasn't made a verv good impression among his brethren in the Re- publican, 1 party.

directly interested, Niedringhaus is a thor-oughly ignorant man. He absolutely knows 21
