Francis Emroy Warren of Wyoming,
one of the wealthiest members of the
United States Senate, was born at
Hinsdale, Masa.j sixty-nine years ago
today. " During the civil war he was
a private and later an officer in the
Forty-ninth Massachusetts Volunteers,
and received a Congressional medal of
honor for gallantry on battlefield at
the seige of Port Hudson. Although
the owner of millions. Senator War
ren recently applied -for a $16 a month
pension, explaining that he did so in
order to officially establish his army
record. He went to Wyoming in 1868,
and soon became prominent in Repub
lican politics as mayor of Cheyenne,
territorial governor of the State, and
United States Senator. Sheep were
the source of his fortune, and he be
came one of the largest wool produc
ers in the world. He has been sub
jected to many bitter attacks in the
press, but he has been Wyoming's
choice for senator since 1890. As a
young man in Wyoming he was prom
inent In the campaign that resulted
In the granting of suffrage to the la
dies. That ' was In 1869, when Wyo
ming was a territory. Throughout his

William A. Brady, theatrical mag
nate and husband of Grace George,
rounds out a half-century of a- re
markable career to-day. Born In San
Francisco, he early removed to New
Tork, Where his father, Terrenes Bra
dy, was a member of the editorial
staff of the New York Herald. After
his father's death he worked his way
west to Omaha, where he worked for
a time as a train boy to get money to
continue his Journey to San Francisco.
Arriving in his native city, he went
to the California Theatre, where he
told the manager he was an actor, and
secured a minor role in "The White
Slave." He - was soon discharged as
an actor, but hired as a call-boy at
seven dollars a week. Brady became
a manager twenty-five years ago, when
he organized a road company. For a
time he was the manager of Jim Cor
bett, and later of Jim Jeffries, when
those gentlemen were heavyweight
champions. In 1896 he invaded New
Tork, and is, now one of the principal
producers of the American metrop
olis, with interests in many other cit
ies and connections In London.
