house during the days of giants-men
like Horace Maynard, Garfield, Bing-
ham, Banks, w. D. Kelley, Ben But
Ter and the present Senator Hale of
Maine, who with Congressman Nc
Grew, is one of the few survivors of
the famous congresses that met after
the civil war; Since leaving congress
Col. McGrew has led quiet life, but
has not at any time relaxed his vigi-
lance for the party. A Methodist since
his early manhood he has ever taken
interest in church affairs and in 1881
he was sent a delegate to the ecu
menical council held in London, and,
while abroad, made the grand tour of
Europe and the Holy Land, going also
to India.
He is fond of relating that he has
Dead sea, that he has stood on the
back of the sphinx and climbed the
Pyramid of Ghizeh.
He is proud, too, of his Scotch-Irish
ancestry, and he has been described
by a friend as combining the caution
of the Highlander with the impetuos-
ity and boldness of the Irishman. Mr.
McGrew married Persis Hagans in
1S41 and their married life was one
long romance They trod the path to-
gether for 81 years and since her
death in 1898, he has lived with
married daughter, Mrs. Martha Heer-
mans of Kingwood. 1t is the sweet
sentiment of Mr.. McGrew when he
speaks of his dear wife to credit her
with whatever of success he has had
in life because of her wise counsels
and womanly intuitions. His son, Maj
William C. McGrew, is business man
of Morgantown, w. Va, and George
H. McGrew, d. D., served ten years in
India as a missionary. He is now rec
tor of a church near Washington.
To-day this grand old man of West
Virginia lives in peaceful retirement
in the home which he built many
years ago for his bride. He is serene
as he waits for the summons, happy
with his books and with the memories
of a life we'll spent and when he talks
of his past and the events in which he
took part he expresses but one regret
that he has done no more for the
happiness and comfort of his fellow
men.

Possibly Last of Timber Rats.

News comes from Ottawa to the ef-
feet that large timber raft is now
on its way down to Quebec, having
arrived at the capital from Deschenes
the other afternoon The raft was
built on the Coulogne river. The raft
method of transportation is fast be-
coming obsolete and it is thought that
this may be the last raft that will be-
seen. The raft is manned By 80 men,
with Noe Valiquette as bead pilot.
To get through any rapids it has been
divided into separate cribs, the cribs
going down individually. The value OF
the raft, which comprises about 1aO,-
900 feet, is estimated at from $4,000
to s100, 000.-Quebec Chronicle.

Satin, though never before regarded

Satin, though never before regarded
as a summary material, has in it's
light, soft qualities firm hold upon
feminine favor and has been adopted
as an eminently practical material for
the hotel dinner and evening frock OF
the dressy but substantial type. 1t
will stand the wear and tear and sea
air moisture better than the soft, filmy
materials, and one sees a great num-
Der of these satin frocks. The above
model was carried out in straw color
satin in conjunction with lace bands
which nearly matched in color, on the
low-cut bodice Other than said bands
and the lace frills on sleeves there is
no foreign decoration; but there Is
elaborate use of tucking in artistic
fashion on both skirt and bodice as
sketch indicates.

Re1urn Of the Pclonaise.

Many of the tunic princess gowns
have more than suggestion of the old
polonaise. One sees the effect not only
in handsome Afternoon costumes, but
also in evening gowns. The tunic,
whatever it's shape, lends itself admir-
ably to the embroideries, braidings
and border trimmings. all of which are
SO much used now.

Hay Crop Is Excellent.

Secretary John M. True of the state
board of agriculture issued crop re-
port for Wisconsin, in which he says:
THE weather of the last month has
been favorable for the harvesting of
the hay crop, and for the ripening of
small grains. An immense hay crop
has been secured in excellent condi-
ton. The wheat, rye and barley har-
vests are finished. The ripening Of
oats upon light soils has been hurried
by the continued hot, dry weather.
and the grain has been shrunken in
consequence.

Roads Running Trains by Phone.

A systematic effort to overcome the
effects of recent telegraph legislation
has been inaugurated by the railroads
of Wisconsin. Within the last six
months these roads have quadrupled
their telephone system. This install
lation of the rival wire is declared the
opening of a campaign to eliminate,
as much as possible, the use of the
telegraph system. The eight-hour
telegraphers' law is said to be re-
sponsible for the change. 1t is pre-
dicted that within year one-half the
operators will be hello girls.
