THE FATHER OF THE SENATE. BENATOR MORRILL'S GREEN OLD AGE AND WELlrROUNDED CARF.ER. HIS REC'ENT A. OHOW, AN? OTHER ACTIVE AND VEXKUABM! BTATK8 IM "ASIIINOTON INQ TIIKIR OF rn Washlngton. April IS a rule, it ls the new BtatBBUlUB in Congress who wrlte the longest blographical sketchqs in "The Congres Blonal Dlrectory They Into details wlth a mlnuteness bordering on solemntty that is some times ludlcrous Of there are exceptlons, and, now and then, the new man wrltes of hlm eelf wlth exceedlng brevlty; whlle.

on the other hand. lt sometlmes happens that the mnn of wlde experlence and National reputatlon contrlbutes a good deal of leading matter to "The Dlrectory." The latter lnstanees are rare, however, as the better a Senator or Is. the lees he has to say about htmself. The oldest man In Congress. ln years and serv Ice.

wrltes hls blographical jketch ln less than aeven modest has JiiBt passed hls eighty-sixth blrthday, and has glven a COnttnuoUfl Congresfllonal sorvlce of forty-one years. In theae few there is slm plv the mentlon of a common BCbool and ncademic t-d'ucatlon. foUowed by the buslness of a tner chunt. and afterward agricultural ptiraultfl, tho Congresses In WhtCB he was a member of the House of Repn-sentatives. and the date of enter lng the Senate.

That is all. But a servlce so long. from flrst to last so hlgh and honornble and useful to hls country. speaks for ltself. Words can nelther add to nor take from the fame of a carcer sj completely roiinded as the publle and prlvate llfe of Senator Morrill At hls last renomlnatlon, Senator Morrlll told his Vcrmont friends they were taklng a rlsk on a man of his age.

remindlng them of what hls age would be at the end of another Bla yeara, eaylng he would step aalde for the cholee of a younger an. Thelr answor was that hls ex? perlence alone would be more valuable to Ver mont than the work a new, though younger. man. In other words. it was thelr dealre that Senator who had served hls State and coun? try so long and well shouid die in the harneaa.

Mr. Morrlll entered the Houae- of Repreuauta tlves In iaaa, as a member of the XXXIVth Con? gress. After a service of twelve years he Btepped from the House to the Senate In March. Wlth the close of hls present term, March. he wlll have been in the Senate JUBt thlrty years.

Senator Morrlll's record Is that of a cor.sclen tkus stcadv. clcar-hcadod. systematlc worker, always prompt and dw'sive, never in Bpeech or aetlon-a fnrceful flgure ln National leglslatlon. Hls evennebs of temp -rament and Oharacter ls rare among men. Uo not of an aggrraslve nature; therefore.

whlle he has boata of the most loyal friends. hc- probably has not nn enemv in the world. He Laa accompllshed nothlng bv aggresaion. but everything by qulet, tnvlcldlng flrmneaB, m-ver-coasing peratotenca, optlmlatlc patlence above all. honeaty of purpose anl falth in tha measuivs he advocatea "It mav be for years It may be forever." but he pegs away in splte of obstacles that would allaoo-rage a leaa paratotaat end determlned nat? ure and.

as his colli-agues say. always "gets there" The magnlflceiit O.ngresslonal Llbrary Bulldlng is an exnmple of Senator Morrlll's prc tralts of peisistc-nce and qulet rock firmncss It has taken him nearly years of perslstent effort to make the new l.brary bulldlng an aceompllahed fact. now growlng day by day before hls eyea into a "thing of beauty a joy forever." One WOBdem lf there w.ll not be Bomewhere a llttle nlche BBt aalde for a bust of the venerable statesman who the thought and of the great work. lt would be ln keeplng wlth the aentlment taklng Txpresslon in the agricultural COOegW. throUfhOBl the country.

where busts of marble or bmnr.e are belng placed to commemorate the BUtBOf of the blll establlshlng these colleges. AlwayB mlndful of the Intereata of the State he rerrcents BB ably and fa.thfully. Senator Morrlll la ronspleuoua for breadth of mlnd and prlde ln the BBJlftU- and of the National Capltal. It has been wlth him a duty and Bleas ure to push such as would make Washlngton a clty of whlch the people DfWtry Btate would be justly BBBUB- Senator Morrlll has owned h's home ln Waahington nearly a quarter of a ccntury. It ls not one of the great houses in the meaning of splendor and aeathatle But it ls a beautlful home.

wlth a re flned. gracious hospltallty. whtre the charm of the host and hostess Is largely in the old-fash loned court-sy. whlch Is becomlng more rare la the ehiftlng changes of ofTlcial soclety. formlng new frlendshlps as the years go on.

Benator nnd Mrs. Morrlll have. In a slngularly marked way. held to frlendshlps of past genera tlons. Many of the Iettera and telegrnma of con gratulatlon recelved on the Senator's blrthday were from ehlldren or grandchlldren of thelr early frlende.

They came from East and Weat? one frlend near the Grand Caflon of the Colo redo telegraphing "blrthday greetlngs from the Rocklee to the Green Mountalns" The Senator has alwaya been avetse to recelvlng blrthday but he eannot refuseflowers. and the MoaaoaBB are 10 grace hls blrthday party ln such profusion that the Morrlll house ia a flr.wer garden for a afterward. Thls year there were hla Vermont frlenda. and roaea froaa Brwtnn. and fi-nm Washlngton people such an array of fo.es Yloto a and Panilea as one seldom BBBB am partv.

Nelther can the Senator prevent hls friend. eepodally the old-ttme friends. from "dronp ng into poetry" on these happy ocea Everv year for the last twelve years Horatlo Kln'g haa nent hls poetloal Kn-ilngs following ln peraon as a gueat at the blrthday iam Thl? vVar the Rev.

The blrthday waa the delightful all around. beeaaae of Benator Morrlirs good health, apparcatly as aa at anv tlme ta ten years. ladaed, everybody thntthe senlor Senator from Vermont was years old. but elghty-slx years ycung.

Wllllam. of rregon. One of the tongcat blographlcal skctches among the members of the House of Represen tatlves la that of Galusha A. Grow, of Penn sylvanla. Mr.

Grow Is a unlque figure in polltl cal hlstory coverlng half a century. and the detalla of his are given with pardonable pride. He Is a bachelor of aeventy-threo, who can well aff.ud to state hls age frankly, for his vlgorous octlvlty, both mental and physlcil, wonkl earlly rate hlm a man qulte ten or flfte-m ars In short, he ta the young'-st old man in the House t.f Reprosentatlves. Mr. Grow's lndustrlal fralnlns legan at a very early age on a Pennsylvanla farm, where he worke.l in summer.

Hls book leirning was obtalned nt the wlnter dlstrict school. But even wlth these llmlted advantagcs, at seventeen he had fltted hlmaeir to the freahman class at Amherst College, Massachusetts, where, at twenty-one, he was praduated. Hls p.dltical car.er had al? ready begun, when a m. nth or two before, nt an Amhcret maaa-meetlOg, he made hls llrst polltlcal sf.eech. At twenty-fmir the young Pennsylvanian was admltted to the bar, and In lSjO, at twenty-aeven, he was elected to Con Br-ss.

Mr. Grow was the youngest mnn In Con gress. Thls was far more a dlstlnctlon and compllment ln that day, when years an.l ex perlence were targely the papsport to the Na? tlonal Legislature, than nt the present tlme, when youthful fooos In the Senate and Houaa are not unusual. Mr. Grow was elected to the House of Repre sentatlves slx conseciitlve terms.

the flrst as a Free Boil Democrat, nnd the last three as a Hepublican. Durlng the tw.dve yeara he was chalrrnan of virtona cotnroltteea of more or importance. Includlng those on Indlan Affalrs. Terrltorles and Agrrioulture. But Itopn sentattve Grow's hlghest honors came when he was elected Speaker of the XXXVIIth ConRress.

on July 4, 1861. He was not tiulte thlrty-flve. and was the man ever elected to preside over the Hotne of Kepresentutlv.s. Mr. OroW has trevelled extenslvely ln Europe and ln hl3 own country, from the Atlantic, to the Paolflo, making trlps West ln the early days when much or the travel was by the overlnnd route.

President Hayea wlahed make Mr. Grow Mlntater to the Court or the caar, a whlch he decllned. Arter absence of nearly forty yeara, Galusha A. Grow Ifl agaln ln Con gress, elected a member al large to tho LUId Congree. nnd re-elected to the LIVth.

Durlng all the year. of hls absence Mr. Grow retalned an actlve interest in State and Natlonal polltlca nnd never grt "rustv." In the Houae Rep reeentaMven, whlch has almoal donbled its numbera, nol one of hla former colleaguea re? maln. few llvlng, wlth but tn.aecp tlon. nre in the bomee of thelr old atfe.

but most of them bave passed on. The two left in publlc llfe over ln the Mor? rlll nnd Mr. Sh.vnian. who w.re in the Houae with Mr. Grow.

As compared with Northern citks, Washlnp ton ls slow to make change. Bul Reprcsenta tlve Grow fin.is in the Waahlngton Of to-day few remlndara ot the Washlngton "befoh de wah," when there waa not a slngle paved stn-et in the tpily stranKUng vlllage. He has 10410 back 10 Wlllar.l's Hotel where be llved forty years same old Wlll yet DOt the same, but lorn-r, luxurious nnd up to date. Its on Pennsylvania-nve. ls the yet not the same.

That broad tboroughf.re, whlch. ln Mr. Gr.w's early days In Congreea, waa navlgnbk: for sinall boats in the BJjHlngtlme, is DOW hlgh, dry nnd heautifully paved; and the strects all over the Natlonal Capltal show of mllea of the flnest pnvlng la the world. The blg whlte marble bulldlng on the hlll. then but half completed, is now a perfect work.

The greatest transformatlon Mr. Grow finds ls tti the Dorthweat part of the clty, where Tom Moore, on hlr vlslt tO thls country, once looked, accordlng to his own llnes: O'er and mnr.h. ttir and thrcugh fof. nnd Y.ink.<-a. lieni.irrar.

An orlglnal letter from framed. as such lett.rs usually are. between glass whlch ehowa the supers.rlp tion and letter as well. was much ndrnired by lady who doted on Keats, so she said.

Dld that happen before It came lnto your sesslon or slnee?" she demanded of tbe man in charge, and It was much to hep eredlt that nhe took that gentleman's explanatlon that stamps dld not eome lnto use untll aome thirty or forty years the date of this letter very good naturedly. It was not this lady, but another, whewe band's name ls known from tbe Atlantic to the Pacitic, and from Lake Buperlor to Oulf of Mexlco, who plcked np an orlglnal editlOB of "The See md Kuneral of Napoleon," by M. A. Tlt marsh, a llttle brown book of less trian a hundred pages, but rather rare. an.l aaked the salesrnan who had tbe most WOMetful faclal control: "Would you be so kind as to tell me who M.

At reeent tea the wife or a member or Con? greaa rrom a ProblbitJon State, who was Btatloned near the punchbowl, surprlsed her frlend. by tak? lng frequcnt libatlons of the lnsldlous mlxture, and beoomlnjr ln C.n.eqwnCQ every moment Jol ller and less like her aedate "Oh!

Mr. X-'s eense of humor ls keen, but he felt compelled to exptaln the character of tbat Iced tea to the Wife Of the M.

In fact, there Is not much chance of the wheel re. malnlng unaoll after the prlce drops bel.iw $90. 1 The lattc-r ligure ls to be the common cut prlce on the wheels llsted at $100, but there are stlil a few manufsciurera who can affor.1 to i stand on thelr reputatlona and to liow any dlacounts.
