Ex-Senator Ingall's Children.

Kansas City Star. There have been eleven children born to John James Ingalls and Mrs. Annie Louise Kearney Chesebrough Ingalls, and none of them has been given a middle name. The oldest of the children is Mr. Ellsworth Ingalls. He is twenty-eight years old, has his father’s figure, and they'say he has his mother’s “ways.” He is a Kansas product, and belongs to a generation of handsome young fellows out in Kansas that is going tc raise the Kentucky standard of manly beauty about three points and stand pat. Young Ingalls is a better “mixer” than his father ever was. It makes young Ingalls inexpressibly tired to be introduced as “Senator Ingalls’son,” and called a “chip of the old block;’’ not because he doesn’t admire the “old block," but because he wants to be a block on his own account, and the “chip” business handicaps him. In passing, it may be as well to state that it was not Ellsworth but Ralph, hie brother, who nominated his father for the presidency before the State convention at Wichita in 1888.
