Congressman Galusha A. Grow, the oldest niemtwr of Congress, celebrated a
rolden jubilee the other day. It la just fifty years a:o since he first became a
member of the national legislative body. In the last half century he has been
elected and re-elected to Congrreaa twelve times, bein defeated once in 1832
when a gerrymander threw him into a new and strange district. previous to
that he had served six terms, three aa a Free Soil lemocrat and three as a Re
publican. At one of these elections previous to his one defeat he rweived every
rote cast in his district, there being; no opposition. He was Si-eaker of the House
during the first two years of the Civil War. When he entered Congre&a in 1S51
he was the youngest member. In his third and fifth terms he was chairman of
the Important committee on territories. In 18i4 he was chosen one of the two
mombers-at-large for the State, and has since been re-elected with increasing
pluralities, once with a plurality of 2l7.44t5, the la r pest ever given a candidate for
anv office in any State. Mr. Grow was born in 1S23 in Susquehanna County,
Pa. His father died when he was 3, and his primary educatim was received
at winter school after the farm labor of the summer was done with. Law-r he
was enabled to attend Amherst College, and graduated from that institution in
1S44. His dome is at Glenwood. From 1ST1 to 1STG he was presideut of the
International and Great Northern Railroad.
SETTLER'S CABIN STILL STANDS

A quarter of a block from the Piatt
County Courthouse in Mouticello, I1L,
In the center of a bustling city of 5.000
people stands a quaint old log cabin.
It was built when there were but three
houses In the town and la to-day the
borne of a woman who moved into It
while wolves and bears were plentiful
In the wilderness around.
The cabin was built In 1S45. Aunt
Anna Honsa Iman lives In it and It has
been her home since 1S47. All the
furniture Is the same as when she
moved In. There Is a bed with cords In
place of a spring tnattresx. an open fire

cooking, all just as the settlers had

still does all the work of the house.
She prepares the meals for herself, two
sons and a grandson and seems as well
and strong as the average woman ot

just outside of Montlcello and could
provide a much better home for their
mother than the cabin, but she wants
to stay where she has lived so long and
so they all live there. In the style of

blocks have grown up around the

LIMIT TO SIZE OF SHIPS.

Naval constructors and shipbuilders
now agree that as to size and carrying
capacity the limit of the ocean b team
ship Is still a long way off. Tbey pre
dict that steamers l.OuO feet In length
will be built In the near future. The
Hamburg-American line has ordered a
vessel to be launched In 10U3 which will
be 750 feet In length, forty-six feet
longer than the Oceanic, and 70 feet
beam, or eight feet wider, while the
vessel building for the North Ger
man Lloyd at Stettin Is 752 feet In
length and is Inofilcially reported to
have a correspondingly great beam.
The old theory of two decades ago that
the long steamer was in danger of be
ing broken In two In a heavy seaway
la now untenable. mprovements In
marine architecture and science make
the modern steamship's hull strong
enough to resist any shock the sea may
give it.
Coincident with this evolution In the
size and capacity of the modern Atlan
tic passenger steamship speed has been

but It Is borne for the suke of the ad

When Yucatan was first colonized by
the Spaniards Charles V., In the ordin
ance which accompanied the appoint

stated that no lawyers were to be per

else. This law was dated l."i:il. Three
years later an eipiallv stringent pro
vision was made against lawyers be
coming Inhabitants of tbe new colonics
of Peru anil Chile. The object of these
laws was frankly stated as the preser
vation of the new countries from the
strife aud trouble which would certain
ly follow their advent. Up to 1871
there were statutes In force which pro
hibited lawyers from sitting In the
British House of Commons, but they
had long become obsolete and were re
pealed In that year.

AKVicaltur.il Laborers In KnirlandBet
ter Off than Centurjr Ago.
The agricultural laborers of to-day
are certainly better clad, more luxur
iously fed, have far more leisure, are
better educated and are rapidly becom
ing better housed than their forefath
ers a century ago says the Nineteenth
Century. And if these are the main
constituents of happiness then they are
happier.
Ou the other band, their grandfathers
and great-grandfathers were much
more gay and light-hearted than the
modern; they enjoyed their lives much
more than their descendants do; they
had Incomparably more laughter, more
amusement, more real delight In the
labor of their bands; there was more
love among tbem and l.as hate. The
agricultural laborer had a bud drunken
time between twenty and thirty years
ago and he has been growing out of
that. A village sot Is now a very rare
bird as rare as he was 100 years ago.
Then the laborer could not afford
a drunken ."ebauch lie had
not the wherewithal. Ills master,
the farmer, did drink, and some
times deeply In the days when he
was prospering. And for a few years
after the rise of the laborer's wages
some twenty-five years ago the laborer
was the publican's friend. But hard
drinking has been steadily declining
and the habitual drunkard Is looked
upon as a coarse brute to be avoided.
As to other vices, things are pretty
much ns they were: I am afraid rather
worse than better.
Perhaps the saddest characteristic of
the men of the present, as compared
with the men of the past. Is that the
men of the past were certainly more
self-dependent I do not mean Indepen
dent In the sense in which that word Is
used now more resourceful, more
kindly, courteous and contented with
their lot than their descendants are.
I think I know something about the
English peasantry of a century or two
gone by. I think I know just a little
about the agricultural laborer nowa
days. I bear him a genuine love and
feel with him a cordial sympathy, and
there Is no knowing any men or any
class of men whom we do not love and
sympathize with. But as to the agri
cultural laborer of the future I am
sometimes inclined to doubt seriously
whether before another century has
ended there will be any such thing as
an agricultural laborer to know.
THOMAS K EARNS.
The Latent Silver Kins to Enter the
United fetate Senate.
Though he represents a comparative
ly unimportant State, Thomas Kearns,
the new Senator from Utah, will be one
of the most conspicuous figures in the
upper house of the Fifty-seventh Con
press. His great wealth is responsible
for his election to the Senate. Like bis
colleague, Clark, of Montana, he has
wrested a fabulous fortune from the
mines of the West, after tasting the bit
ter cup of toil and privation for many
years.
Born in New Y'ork in 1S"2 he went to
Nebraska as a young man and worked
on a farm. He dug potatoes and drove
a freight wagon. It occurred to him
that in the Black Hills of Dakota he

might Hud a fortune aud thither he
went. But he failed to strike It rich
aud went to Utah in 1W3. In the fa
mous Ontario mine In' Tark City he
went to work with pick and shovel.
From the savinjrs out of his weekly
waives he accumulated euoujrh to buy
himself a copartnership, with several
others. In a claim near the Ontario
mine. They met with success. Other
claims on adjoining land was purchased
and the whole combined Into the Silver
King mine, lis product of silver, gold,
copper and lead last year amounted to
an even f l.OOO.tVO. of which one-fourth
went to Senator Kearns. He is now
worth about $r,0(!0.000.
Kearns is exceed n jly geeuroiis. Not
long ago he gave ?."HUHH1 for the estab
lishment of an orphanage in Salt Lake
City and he also gave flO.OOO toward
the building of a new Catholic ca
thedral In the same city. He is now
building a marble palace In Salt Lake
City, which will be one of the tiuest In
the country. In marked contrast to the
dugout which was h!s first Nebraska
home and the humble cabin which shel
tered him during his early career in
Utah.
Arizona's I'ino Foreest.
Arizona is supposed to he almost an
unbroken desert, but in reality It has
the largest unbroken pine forest In the
United States, covering au area of over
8.0OO square miles. This timber Is
usually found at an altitude of be
tween 5,500 anil 7,500 feet. The total
quantity of pine timber tit for sawing
purposes within the boundaries of the
territory amounts to 10,000,000.000 feet,
which cau supply the needs of a popu
lous state for more than a century.
Tim Mttleatiy New Crop of Hair.
Timothy J. Muloahy, an engineer )n
a Cleveland tannery, had been bald for
years. Suddenly a little furze began to
sprout on his head and a few weeks
later his cranium was covered with a
thick but short growth of hair. A doc
tor investigated the matter and learned
that he had been working under a re
volving belt. Ills hair had been sprout
ed by electricity.
