determined just what's the matter with
Hanna.
There are. it is said, more governors
and eX-governorS in this country whose
names begin with "B" than with any
other letter. Beaver, Biggs, Buckner,
Buckley and others, illustrate this not

There are Donahoes and Donahoes in
California. Joseph A. Donahoe, of

tronomers. j. Mervyn Donahoe, of San
Francisco, has offered purse of $1,000
for prize fight between Jake Kilrain
