MARK HANNA'S MOTHER.
Who Has the Utmost Faith In Her
Sons Ability to Succeed.


Sons Ability to Succeed.
There are two interesting old ladies'
who are brought into greater promi-
nence by the present campaign, Mrs.
William Mckinley, ST., and Mrs. S. NJ.
Hanna. Zone Is the mother Of the Re-
publican nominee for the presidency,
while the son of the other Is Mark
Hanna, who Is managing the campaign
for Mckinley. Mrs. Mckinley, per.
haps, bears the burden of her 81 years
more lightly than does Mrs. Hanna that
of the SO years which have passed over
her head, but such a thing could not
have been truthfully said two years
ago, when Mrs. Hanna's health became
less robust. But despite the face that
she Is a physical sufferer she does not
look a woman more than 60 years Of
age.
Her home is with her daughter, Miss
LILLIAN Hanna, in Cleveland. She is by
birth New Englander. Her father was
Col. Israel Converse, a distinguished
soldier Of the revolution. She was born
in Vermont and in 1924 removed to
Ohio, travelling the entire distance In q
carriage. After her marriage to M.
Hanna she resided in New Lisbon un-
til 1859 when they removed to Cleve-
land. There Mr.. Hanna engaged in
business and there their six children
were educated. "Am l interested In
politicsT repeated Mrs. Hanna when
the question was asked her the other
day. "Yes, and always have been. My
husband was strong Wing. He stump
ed the State with Tom Corwln, Tom
Ewing, and men of that class. Nat
urally enough became interested in
the problems Of the day." Every morn

~ In Westminster Abbey.
Near the center OF the south wall Of
the nave Is a monument toAiaJor Andre
OF Revolutionary note. The very long
inscription upon 1t begins, Sacred to
the memory Of Major John Andre, who,
raised by his merit, at an early period
Of life. to the rank of Adjutant- Gener-
al Of the British forces In America,
and employed in an important but haz-
ardous enterprise, fell a sacrifice to
his zeal for his King and country, on
the I'd of October, 1850, aged 20, uni
versally beloved and esteemed by the
army In which he served and lamented
even by his foes"
About the base of the monument,
which is a panel set against the wall,
are several small figures. These pro-
ject from the panel, and represent the
presentation of Major Andres letter
to General Washington on the night be-
fore his execution. The ease with
which the heads Of these figures could
be broken or has been too great a temp
tation to rellc-hunters, and most of the
heads have been knocked of and sto-
len. That such vandalism is not Who'll
ly modern is shown from the fact that
Charles Lamb writes Of the defacing
of this very monument in this way In
his Essays of Ella" Southey, the
poet, when a boy, was pupil at the
Westminster School. Later in life he
was exceedingly sensitive in regard to
his political principles, and for time
a serious quarrel existed between him
self and Lamb, because the latter,
speaking In regard to this injury to
Andres monument, described 1t as "the
wanton mischief of some school-boy
fired perhaps with raw notions Of trans
atlantic freedom" Then, addressing
Southey, he added: 'The mischief was
done about the time that you were
a scholar there. Do you know any
thing about the unfortunate relic?
There Is now fastened upon the wall
Of the nave, above the monument, a
wreath Of oak leaves which Dean STAN
ley, when he visited America, gather
ed near the spot on the bank Of the
Hudson River where Andre was exec
pted. Although Andre died in 1850, 1t
was not until 1921 that, at the request
Of the Duke Of York, his bones were
exhumed and taken to England to
be buried in the Abbey. The box In
which they were placed for the voyage
is still preserved in the oratory over
st. Isup's chapel, where the wax fig
ures are kept.-St. Nicholas.

The Vanilla Bean.

The so-called vanilla bean is not a
bean at all, but the fruit Of climbing
orchid, the capsule or pod Of which Is
about three-eighths Of an inch in diam,
eter and from six to ten inches long,
and has a certain resemblance to tho
so-called catalpa bean. The plant In its
native home, In Mexico and tropical
America, climbs over trees and shrubs
by means of slender rootlets sent out
from the joints of the stem. In its wild
state 1t climbs to height Of twenty
feet; but In cultivation 1t is kept within
bounds, 90 that the unripe pods are not
injured when the others are gathered.
In Mexico the plant is propagated by
cuttings and then trained over some
rough bark trellis work In partial
shade.

WE NEED

We must again remind our read
ers that it is necessary to have
money in order to exist. We have
once before made a call for a little
cash from our subscribers, but it
can not be said that the UNION has
made many such calls and we
would not do so now only we need
money badly and a few subscribers
paying up, while it is not much to
them, means considerable to us.
We want the UNION to be in better
shape in the future than in the
past, as to news as we'll as general
reform literature, and this takes
money. Give us a lift and we will
lift the paper. Let as many as
possible pay before the LIST day Of
July as we will need funds about
that time.

One day there opened IN what was
then upper Washington street. Boston,
In the top story OF plympton's fulni-
ture warehouse. 8 school and practice
ground for roller skaters. This was
about the year 1867. Plympton's
brother had invented a skate on which
you could do the outer edge by lean
ing over, as on ice. The rollers were
in pairs and on pivots The boys and
girls came out and suund it easy to
learn, but it was not advertised and
few heard of it. The result was the
closing of the place and the apparent
failure Of the invention as a popular
toy.
The inventor went to Europe. Pur-
suing more liberal methods, he made
q huge success. He planted Kinks in
every principal city, and gathered
ducats in piles. Unfortunately they
lasted nowhere more than a few years.
New plants had to be constantly es-
tab1ished.
When the Lalimes took up roller
skating at the Worcester rink, which,
by the way, was admirably adapted
for the sport. and the skating craze
broke out in this country, it was all
over in Europe, but Plympton had made
a fortune out Of it. Here, too, Kinks
were short-lived.
The Winslow skate, made later,
brought out lawsuits with Plympton,
who claimed an infringement. But
Plympton's patent had not long to run,
and the dispute was in some way ad-
justed.
It was an admirable exercise, and
there was no end to the possible skill.
It "a a pity it could not last, but
Americans overdo all amusements.
