A GREAT RAFTING FEAT.
Six Hundred Inmonse Pine Logs
Fave q 10 G, Ferilou, Trip.
lowed by -Four Powerful Tugs from North
Carolina to Camden, N. J.-Some of
the Difficulties Encountered
and Overcome.

A raft more than two-thirds of mile
long, composed of giant sticks of North
Carolina yellow pine timber, was safely
,towed into port Mt Camden, N. j., by
four powerful tugs the other night,
after tedious but somewhat adven-
turous voyage lasting six weeks.
There are 600 logs in the raft, some Of
them o5 feet long, the lot averaging
81 feet in length, 12 to 81 inches in di-
emeter at the stump and from 8 inches
upward at the top. They are to be used
us pilings in the construction of the
new Delaware river piers.
1t was the first time the experiment
had been tried, and as the raft was
the largest ever sent out Of North Car
olina, Mr.. Frazer is delighted with the
success that attended the venture.
The raft was put in chains, each
stick having two iron rafting dogs to
hold it in the chains. Fifteen sticks
were placed side by side aud fastened
together to make one section of the
raft. There were AZ sections, and when
these were fastened together they
stretched out nearly mile in length.
1t was very tiresome work towing
the great pine serpent through the
rivers and canals in the old north
state, but in the sounds it was very
lively and risky business. Time and
again the men on the tugs feared thai
the raft would be torn to pieces in the
storms, and the utmost caution was
exercised. Had any of the chains
broken serious trouble would have been
encountered in catching the runaway
sections, if indeed they could be cap
tured before they had plunged out to
sea to menace the coastwise steamers
which frequent that ocean path.
On the way up the Chesapeake bay
the most violent storm of all was en-
countered, and the four tugs and their
convoy were compelled to put into
harbor until the danger was over. In
the canals it was necessary to uncouple
the sections to pass them through the
locks one at a time, and this, together
with the fact that much ice was en-
countered therein, made the process
very slow. III the summer it is believed
the voyage could be made in less than
four weeks. So great is the danger
| with a raft of this size that it was
impossible to have it insured in any re-
liable company at this season.

Never Saw Himself Before.

The London Globe relates a story of
an old Hampshire peasant farmer who
came to town to buy hat, and was re-
quested to look in the glass to see if
the hat suited his taste. The customer
stood before the glass as though fas-
cinated by his reflected image. Pres
emily he slowly inquired: "Wull-is
-that-me?" "Of course it is, guv'-
nor" was the shopman's reply. "Why,
don't you know yourself?" 81 be GO
years old" said the ancient. after an
other pause. land dunno as ever see
my face afore!" And when, his pur-
chase completed, he turned to depart,
he walked up to the loolling-glass
again. saying: "Tll take just one more
look at meser, for | dunno as ever l
shall ha' the chance again."

A Chinese University,

A Vienna journal publishes letter
from a Shanghai correspondent saying
that a Chinese university, after Eu-
ropean model, will soon be established
i'll Tien-Tsin. Charles D. Tinney, an
American, is to be the head of the uni
versity, one of the chief objects Of
which will be to cultivate technical
science. The teachers will be foreign
crs and natives. The university is to be
opened next autumn, together with a
preparatory school. Several such
schools are also to be established in
different parts of north China. Great
Importance is attached to this educa-
tional revolution in China.

MRS. DlMMIcK's TRoussEAu.
Future Mrs. Harrison Making Elaborate
Preparations for Her Marriage.


On or about March 6, it is said. Gen.
Benjamin Harrison will claim Mrs.
Nary Scott Dim,nick as his bride. Be-
fore many days have elapsed that por.
ton of the trousseau embraced in the
term Lingerie" will be complete. Busy
hands in the workroom of Altman &
Co. are tying bows and fashioning rib.
bon rosettes to the dainty belongings
of the prospective bride.
Mrs. Dimmiclt has chosen pale blue
as the color scheme of her artistic lin.
gerie. OF course, the greatest inter-
est centers upon the bridal set proper,
of which there are three pieces. They
are designed in the empire style. The.
shcerest linen cambria has been select
ed for their development The night
dress is cut low in the neck, and alter
nate rows of linen cambria and Val
cnciennes insertion form square yoke
standing ruffle is attached to mar
row beading, through which ribbon is.
threaded, which at the left side near
the shoulder abruptly ties in loops and
flowing ends.
The full balloon sleeves are shirred
into bend of the beading and finished
off by a deep frill Of yalenciennes.
Blue satin ribbon of a very delicate
tint is drawn through the band and
ties in Il trus-lover's knot at the wrist.
The decorative scheme is repeated in
the formation of broad epaulettes
which fall in graceful folds over TIE
shoulders. continuing in cascade to
the waist line. The black CORE,
spends with the front, the fingered
widths of material hanging free. A
ribbon belt inserted in the under arm
seam ties loosely in front in fascinat-
ing bow, producing the desirable Short
waist effect. The character of the lace
is exceedingly fine and of the popular
1ieur-de-lis pattern.
The remaining two pieces of the set
are deliberately decorated in rows of
Nalencienncs insertion and linen OF
equal width cut in vandykes, which
have deep rutfle as their finish. A
beading heads the full frills of lace,
through which ribbon is run.

Another hopeful vcrse-and one that
should appeal to everybody at this sea-
son-hc calls ''Easter Lilies:"
What though you build cloud-high the we'll,
What though the sword you constant
WELD!
All Kingdoms, monarchies shall fall
Because of these-and over all
Shall stand the lilies Of the field.
One could quote column after column
of equally beautiful sentiments from
Mr.. Banks book without eXhausting
the patience of lovers of nature and of
pure poetry. 1.-The gentle writer OF
gentle verse" is the expression in which
alluded to him several years ago; but,
to understand fully the meaning of the
phrase, it is necessary to know the
poet. His personality is charming, his
generosity unbounded. Nothing ap.
reals to him as forcibly rs the distress
of the oppressed 10 know Banks is to
love him. And yet, although not in
robust health and, at many periods CT
bis life, assailed by care and trouble, he
has sturdily fought the battle for ex-
istence, asking no favors and complain
ing to no one. Starting out in life as q
commercial man, he drifted into Jour
nnlism, acted as business manager for
trade papers, did reportorial work on
Chicago newspapers, wrote advertise
ments for manufacturing firms, and
finally invaded the lecture field, from
which he had to withdraw on account
Of failing health. But neither in pros
rerity nor adversely did he lose his
faith in mankind, as is evidenced by the
poems he has given to the world during
the past two years. Convinced that the
American people-although slow and
sometimes churlish-neverf fail to recog-
nize genuine merit, the prediction is
Nentured that Mr.. Banks fame will
eventually become national. And it is,
no doubt, this expectation which en-
couragcs him to perform, without
grumbling, routine duties in local
newspaper office ut davenport, Ia. After
so much darkness light must inevitably
Ereak through the clouds of our "gentlc
poets" gentle life.
The third of Chicago's noted poets
is Louis j. Block, scholar and ped
agogue. Mr.. Block is essentially a
thinker, lover of liberty and an ex-
horter. His great poem, "The New

ERNEST M'GAFrEY.

for their clearheadedncss in everyday
life as for their great abilities as lit
crary leaders.
Take, for instance, Ernest Mcfaffey,
whose volume of Poems" recently is
sued by an eastern publishing house,
has attracted general. attention. He
is a young lawyer with bright future,
a man of the world, a companion for
judge or preacher. His views on cur
his knowledge of affairs political brings
to his Office the leaders of parties. And
yet this same man will retire to his
study in the evening and commune with
nature with an eloquence that surprises
the critics who have repeated from year
to year that nothing of literary merit
can come out of Chicago" From be-
ginning to end McGatilcy's Poems"
show inspiration and wonderful per-
ception of the beauties of things. There
is not page which does not contain
rev idea or a precious thought dressed
in new form. Opening the little vol
ume at random the other day, became
enchanted with this gem:
Like some lone, wild creature that PAGES all
day
Back and forth behind bars in its dumb,
strong wish to be free,
So PAGES forever, all hasgard and gray,
On Its earth-bound shores, the mysterious
soul of the sea.
If any poet has ever clothed a beauti-
full sentiment in finer garb have never
seen his works. Equally strong is n
poem in another vein, entitled 1.-THE
Derelict," from which quote the last
verse:
And thus wrath, mote speci,
In watery solitudes
She sails. and hears the siren song
OF oceans Circe-moods:
Nor neither home nor harbor bound.
Naught shall her course restrict,
While like mems souls in worlds to come
She wanders, derelict.
And what could be more charming
than this picture:
Dear friends. tho silent. the companion
trees
That whisper as pass. and scatter down
Leaf benedictions on my leaf-strewn path.
Mr.. McGaffey's versatility is almost
phenomenal. His fancy responds to the
call of the moment. His reflective, de-
scriptive and metaphysical moods find
ready expression in verse, which, while
not always perfect, is never annoying
ly hating. 1t has been stated that he
has no rivals in America but joaquin
Miller and James Whitcomb Riley. This
is a sweeping assertion, but one which,
will not be disputed few years hence.
| The writer has been familiar with Mr..
McGaffey's works for eight years. lie
has noted his development along va
rious lines, and feels justified in giving
the widest circulation to Chicago's faith

in poet whose productions are even
now quoted throughout the land. The
keystone of Mr.. McGntfey's success is
his modesty, which constantly reminds
him thathe has yet to learn many things
and that perfection III art must he based
On constant observation and unremit-
ting study.

But these words never last long. The
disposition of the poet is too happy to
dwell on disagrecable themes, and
hence we find on another page of his
little book, where Brooks Go Softly"
this charming tribute to love:
The world is as clouded sea.

That steals among the murky waves
