and his present ambition is to make
Mckinley president. 1t is on him that
the credit Of the recent growth of the
Mckinley boom in Ohio is conferred
Mr.. Hanna is a man who has made
a million, more or less, in iron mines,
street railroads and lake traffic Now
he is after fun and fame. He lives in
Cleveland and it is from his magni-
ffcent country residence in the suburbs
of that city that the Mckinley cam
paign is being managed. Mr.. Hanna
branched out as local politician sew
eral years ago, and became known first
as liberal contributor and then as
shrewd leader. He found that there
was more fun in politics than in any,
thing else. Club life had no charms
for him. for society he did not care at
all. and yachting made him seasick.
Politics just suited him.
Three years ago. when Major McKin-
ley became involved in financial diff
cult1es, Mr.. Hanna came to his rescue
and put him on his feet AS a natural
sequence Mr.. Hanna is now managing
McKinley's presidential boom. Skilled
politicians say that he has shown a
brilliant capacity for the undertaking.
Hanna is one of those silent men.
He says but little. but he does a lot
of thinking. All his moves are prac
teal ones and are generally effected
quietly, the protector remaining in the
background. In Cleveland, Mr.. Hanna
is known as a public spirited. liberal
and successful business man. His
wife is an energetic leader of society.
They have large family and entertain
lavishly. Just what will be Mr.. Han

riot broke out tonight between the
non-union men employed in the iron
works of Chandler & Taylor and a
number of strikers and their sympa-
thizers. Three men, William Watson,
Walker Davis and Hook Lee were
shot, Davis fatally, and number of
men were more or less injured, by fly
ing stones and bricks.
The trouble originated over the fact
that a number of non-union men have
been employed in the works, taking the
places of members of the union. A
number of fights have occurred at diff
ferent times, and the workmen were
constantly under police guard. To-
night the officers started to take them
to their homes, when they were set
upon by mob. 1t is estimated that no
less than 1900 persons were in the
neighborhood at the time. many of
them taking part in the fight. The non
union men opened fire first after they
had been pelted with bricks and stones.
The fire was returned by the strikers.
The men shot were all by-standers,
and had nothing whatever to do with
the trouble. One policemen was also
seriously injured by being struck with
a brick. A number of arrests were
made

TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.
MemOrinm on the Late Mrs. Grace
Mortimer Merrill.

The high school alumni held a meet
ing yesterday TO take action on the
death of Mrs. Grace Mortimer Merrill,
wife of Ernest Merrill, which occurred
at their home in New York last Friday.
President Frank Griggs, of the alumni,
offered tribute to the memory of the
deceased, and committee ap-
pointed to prepare a memorial pre-
pared the following:
Mrs. Grace Mortimer Merrill born in
Brooklyn, N Y, Dec Is, 1869. She was with
out a mother at the age of eight years, at
which time her Aunt Hannah took her to
home and heart. She came to st. Paul with
her father, j. c. Mortimer, in 1886, and they
made their home with Mrs. S. A. Frost a
sister of Mr.. Mortimer. Grace's first appear
ance among was at flower queen concert
and our impression of her that she was
a sweet and beautiful human bud just expand
ing into lovely young womanhood. She was
baptized into membership of the First BAPTIST
church May, 1888, by her pastor, Rev. H. c.
Wabie, d. D., and yielded much to the service
of her Divine Master. She was one of the most
earnest workers in the Park Avenue mission
and continued faithfully to it for many years.
AS a pupil of the high school she made many
warm friends. She was graduated in 1890 in
the same class with her husband. She re-
turned to Brooklyn in the fall of 1893, and
April %, 1885, she was married to Mr.. Merrill
This was the happy ending of an attachment
which began when Grace and Ernest were
little more than children.
Sorrow and unutterable grief has entered
the cosy little home in Brooklyn for though
the beloved wife has exchanged an earthly
home for a heavenly paradise, she has left
behind stricken husband, motherless little
daughter and bereaved father. with a host
of near and dear relatives and friends to
mourn her early departure.
The sad burial service of Mrs. Merrill
occurred Thursday afternoon, March
IS. at Brooklyn, N. Y, conducted by
Rev. Wallace Butrick. her former pas
tor in st. Paul, and F. E. Robbins, of
Norwalk, Conn.,, who also officiated at
the marriage ceremony one year ago.
Mrs. Merrill now rests in the beauti-
full Greenwood cemetery at Brooklyn

The Office buildings and other prop

a handsome profit amounting to mill
ions annually, can be only approx
mately determined. This item alone
IS said to amount to $500, 600 900. An
other important factor is the large
amount of money deposited with for
elSn banking houses subject to order
and the bulk Of which is loaned on
stock collateral in Wall street. 1t was
the calling OF these loans Friday that
was the chief factor in precipitating
the crash in securities.
Brokers who represented the army Of
investors and spectators who had loans
had to look elsewhere for the money or
see the securities sold for what they
would bring. There was never such a
scramble in the history of the stock eX-
change when, without warning, the for
eign bankers called in all the loans I'M
der directions from the powerful inf1u-
ences across the water. Money had
been loaning most OF the summer on
call at per cent, and often for /. Up
the rates jumped to Is, then %, 40, so
and 20. They didn't stop until they
reached 80, all because John Bull had
decided to recall less than one-hun-
dredth Of his credit in this country. The
effect of recalling 25 or so per cent can
hardly be imagined
The amount of this SO-called ''lOOse"
money in New York and other cities is
matter of guess. Several of the for
elgn bankers whom / saw yesterday
refused to go into particulars 1t is
said, however, that 800 900 900 is a low
estimate. OF course it is only left here
as long as Englishmen have the assur-.
ance that they can draw 1t out in gold
whenever they choose.
They began to pull up stakes pretty
lively at the time Of the panic, because
they were afraid that we would go onto
silver basis. Some of them now are
very distrustful about our currency sit
uation, and the danger of international

them to withdraw their credits while

HONESTY AT A DISCOUNT.
Even In the POstOfiice the Conscien-
tious Man Appreciated This Fact.

Even I'm the POstOffice the Conscien-
tious Nam Appreciated This Fact.
New York Sun.
You can't always tell about honesty.
Sometimes you see man making
great show of it, just for the sake of
the show, not for the sake Of the hon
esty. The other day man went to
the postoffice and asked for two five
cent stamps. He laid down his dime,
took his two stamps, put them in a
pocket case and went away. Three or
four DAYS afterward he had occasion
to use one of them. Just as he was
about to stick 1t on the letter he
had written he noticed that it was a
six-cent stamp instead Of five-center
"What do I care?" he said to him
self "If five cents will send the
letter, six will" 10
Then 1t occurred to him that the
clerk who had sold the stamps was out
two cents for the mistake.
IT can't help It'll the buyer argued:
'It wasn't my fault. and it's too far to
go to the postoffice just for two cents
It's honest, of course, but it's only two
cents. How it would paralyze the
clerk, though, to have me come in and
rectify his little. mistake for him.
Make him feel good for Christmas
sure. Probably he makes such mis-
takes frequently, and I'll bet mighty
few men go back to make them right.
It's easy enough to kick when the
things against you, but this is diff
ferent Somebody ought to kick
about these stamps anyway, hard and
good, to somebody way up. They're
just the fives in size, shape and color.
No wonder he made the mistake. By
Jove. I'll go ,ver and see him."
So the two-stamp buyer put on his
overcoat and hat and went out into
the cold and tramped over to the post
office TO make a show of his honesty.
There was a long line of men waiting
their turns to transact business at the
stamp window. The honest man wait
ed patiently and used up several dol
lars worth of time trying to give back
two cents that didn't belong to him. At
last he got his place at the window;
81 bought these two stamps here the
other day" he began, 'for five-cent
stamps"
Those in the waiting line began to
crowd up to hear the kick, and the
face Of the stamp clerk took on an eX-
preston just a shade more tired than
usual
But they're S1X-cent stamps, went
on the honest man, land the clerk must
be out two cents, so 1 want to give
them back
The stamp clerk opened his eyes bit
wider and stopped down to get a good
look at the honest man through the
little half window. A murmur Of ap-
prevail ran through the crowd. The
honest man swelled out with the con-
seriousness Of his own uprightness. The
stamp clerk fooled with his stamps and
then said:
You didn't buy 'em of me-"
mo" answered the honest man, 'it
was another clerk, I don't believe I'd
know him, though. if 7 should see him.
1 wasn't long enough at the window
well" said the clerk very distinctly,
ST can't take your two cents. The other
clerk has lost it, that's all. The gov
eminent isn't out anything, and I can't
take it. I'll give you five-cent stamps
if you like" and he reached out for the
six-centers.
The honest man was the surprised
