GOLFER. IS DEAD
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PLAY
ERs THE GAME HAS EVER
KNOWN, DIES IN ST. LOUIS.
Special TO The Journal.

st. Louis, May 1S.-Col. George s.
McGrew, one of the noted golf experts
in the United States, died at IFS resi-
dence, Lenox place, from heart dis
ease, at 1880 a. m. Wednesday. Col.
McGrew was stricken two days ago.
and from that time until his death he
was under the care Of three physi-
clans.
Col McGrew was so years old. and
was secretary Of George D. Barnard
& Co. He was born at Lexington, La
fayette county, Mo-. and began his
business life in st. Louis in 1869 as a
clerk In a hardware store.
Col. McGrew was known by many
as the father Of golf in st. Louis. He
learned to play on the old Triple A
links in Forest Park, and in 1900 he
organized the Glen Echo Club, He
was the first president Of this club
and remained at its head until a few
years ago. Upon his retirement as
president a life membership was voted
him and he received a handsome cot
tage on the grounds for his own use.
The Olympic golf tournament was
brought to the Glen Echo Club in 1904
by Col. McGrew. This tournament was
feature of the Olympic games of the
Worlds Fair year, most of which took
place in the stadium, west Of Wash
ington University.
Visiting Europe in 1908, Col. Nc

Special 20 The Journal

st. Louis. May 18-Mrs. Nellie
Bruins Of 2745 Lafayette avenue,
through her attorney, James NJ. Roll
ms MED a maintenance suit Wednes-
gay against Edward Bruins, who Is in
business at S22 Washington avenue as
the Ready-to Wear Cloak and Suit
Co., according to Rollins. The couple
were married in October, 1888, the Pc
titlon says, and separated Tuesday OF
this week.
Mrs. Bruins alleges that eight years
ago her husband brought to their
mouse Miss Belle Edgar, who, Roll
Inns says. Is g. buyer for another cloak
and suit house. Mrs. Bruins says that
after she and her husband had retired,
Miss Edgar, wearing decollette night
dress, used to enter the room, take a
seat by the bed, put her bare feet
upon the rail of the bed and read to
Bruins.
When Mrs. Bruins objected, it is al
legged In the petition, Bruins would tell
her This is none Of your business.
Go to Sleep"
Mrs. Bruins alleged that Bruins fire.
quentiy struck and beat her.
They have two children, Ethel, al
most Is years old, and Milton, 16.
Mrs. Bruins does not contemplate a
suit for divorce, Rollins said. The rea-
son for this is that Bruns's father, who
died several years ago, left his estate
in trust for his sons children, to be
paid when the youngest became Of
age. Should Mrs. Bruins obtain a d.
vorce and her husband marry a ain
and have children by the second wife
the estate, valued at about $4,000
would not be divided for at least IS
years longer

Wuesday, May 14th. was a day that
will be remembered as one full Of
profit and pleasure.
The commencement exercises of the
Industrial Academy of Mary Esther.
Florida, began on Sunday, May 12tA,
with the baccalaureate sermon by the
president Prof. F r. Strong.
Tuesday morning, May 14th, the
patrons and friends Of the academy
met at 10 a. m. to compare notes con-
corning the successes and failures at
tending our efforts in gardening and
fruit growing and to DISCUSS the meth
DDS by which the failures could be
lessened and finally eliminated.
The building up OF the soil, the
the topics first discussed and 1t was
the concensus OF opinion that green
crops turned under, natural fertilizers
and cultivation and yet more cultiva-
ton would eventually attain success
The diseases and enemies Of fruit
were next discussed and remedies
given.
s'What are we to do with the Florida
hog, the ever present razor-back?'
II was generally conceded that these
hogs running at large as they do. was
worse than a nuisance and something
70 be dreaded, and further that II was
a disgrace to the state that stock
should be allowed to run at large to

large, but when II came to the remedy

ton and the chairman. w. N. Hart
grove, said that any of the legislators
who would have the temerity to bring
a bin before the legislature prohibit
ing the running at large OF the stock
would never be returned to the legis-
Iature. So as 1t Is necessary that they
be returned, we will have to put up
with the horrible razor hack.
The next subject discussed was din
ner and from appearance all present
were very much interested in the sub
1ect as all without exception took
part.
The afternoon topics were the grow
ing Of frst-c class fruit and vegetables
and the raising of thoroughbred poul-
try.
