The Oldest Member Of Congress, in Age
and Service-A Brief Sketch Of the
Life Of the Lending Al, 0cate OF Pro-
lection TO American Industry.

In last weeks issue we gave a
portrait of the youngest member OF
Congress, and as "a sequel, we give this
week an excellent likeness of the old
est member of the House, the Hon
w. d. Kelley, of Philadelf hia.
Mr.. Kelley was born at Philadelphia
April II, 1914, and is therefore nearly
70 years o. age. He received very
thorough English education and be-
gan life as proof: reader in printing
office in his native city. After a few
years service in this capacity he be-
came an apprentice in jewelry es-
tablishnent. Having learned the
trade he removed to Boston where he
worked five years as IA journeyman
jeweler; he then returned to Phla
dclphia and began the study Of law
and in the course of time entered the
profession, and also devoting himself
to various literary pursuits.
Mr. Kelley was twice elected Pros
ccu,ing Attorney OF the city and
county Of Philadelphia and served for
years as Judge of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas Of that city; was delegate
to the National Republican Convcn-
ton at Chicago, in 1860, and one of
l.'nco'n's heartiest supporters. He
became the Republican candidate for
the Thirty Seventh Congress and was
elected, ant, has been returned con-
secutlve!y every term since his first
election, by an average majority Of
about 10000 over his Democratic op.
pOnent.
Mr.. Kelley las been and still is il
onspicuous figure in cur National Leg
lslature, his utterances commanding a
prestige consistent with his long SER
vice and varied experience in public
life. His greatest ambition is to CON
tlnue during Lis life in his present po-
sition as representative from Phiiadcl.
phia, and Ills constituency will no
doubt accord him this honor.

A MAN AFTER A FKONTIERSMAN'S
HEART.

A dispatch from Washington states
that Governor John n. Irwin has re-
turned to the treasury of the United
States draft for $3.50 sent him as
salary tor the quarter ending October
30. He declined, also, to receive the
salary due him for the two months end
ing December 81. He states that he has
been unable to attend to the duties Of
the Office since July l, and he does
Irot consider that he can conscentiously
accept the pay.
This action, on the pa, of Governor
Irwin, will be apt to popularize him
with the people of idaho; because if
there is one thing that the inhabitants
Of the frontier appreciate more than
another, it is unsellishness. Governor
Irwin having proved himself the pos
ssor of this quality, he will, il he
over returns to this Territory, be re-
ceived as n superior individual, and
one in every way worthy to associate
with those who have straycd this far
from the comforts of civilization in
o der to carve out a name for them
selves, while building up now empires
in the mountain Businesses of the New
Northwest.

uncorked the bottle, held it up close

WHO WILL GIVE Us BATHS.

Now that a good head OF water can
be had anywhere in town, some enter
prising barber should put in a few
batheubs. Every traveller, on ar'iv-
ing here either by rail or stage, is
anxious for bath, and a bathing es-
Enlistment would undoubtedly pay.
Especially would this be the case when
run in connection with barber shop
as men generally like to get shaved
