WHEELER, OF KENTUCKY,

Who Gained Notoriety by Abusing Prince Henry. A month ago not one in five thousand persons in the United States knew that there was such a man as Charles K.

Wheeler in the Hause of Representatives. The member of the first Kentucky district had so quietly followed the “even tenor of his way” that he had not attracted attention outside his own district. His sensational speech against Prince Henry and Secretary Hay may not

have earned him great popularity, but it gave him a reputation and has caused people to ask questions about him. Wheeler is serving his third terra in the House. He is a young man; he will lie 39 in April. He was a precocious youth, graduating from the Southwestern University at Clarksville, Tenu., when he was 17. That was in 1880 and since then, according to his biography in the Congressional Directory, he has been actively engaged there in the practice of his profession, when not occupying his seat in the House.

C. K. WHEELER.
