building scheme. He soon cut loose and
began to roam over the various states
of Central America, learning Spanish
oaths and Cordillera scenery-anything
that was picturesque. Every once in
while he rested-in some Spanish prison.
But never, be it understood. for crime
merely through misunderstanding. II he
brought wares of property across some
imaginary line the officials misunderstood
the act for smuggling. That was all.
After spending several months in a
Honduras prison and memorializing the
state department at Washington in an
elaborate protest longer than the name OF
Spanish grandee, he finally brought his
wife back to this country and settled
down a couple of years ago at Providence.
r. I. The first thing he did was to write
a book on Central America The second
thing was to get into the Providence jail.
The third thing was to secure heavy dam
ages from the man who had put him
there. And now, lastly. he has taken to
making a comparative study of Cuban
prison interiors.
A couple of months ago Mr.. Dawley
wrote to a Chicago friend: MY book is
side-tracked for the present. I go to
Cuba as war correspondent for Harper's
Weekly, with the assurance that If l get
killed 1 will get my obituary and my
photo published in the Weekly free of
charge"
That is how the lank and angular
Dawley came to be in company with the
attenuated six feet two of Mccarthy
O'Leary among the Matanzas sugar cane
when General Weyler's negro guerrillas
surrounded the spot. 1t was not Dawley's
fault If OLeary was too long at one end
and stuck out above the cane tops, re-
vealing their whereabouts. Nor was II
his fault If the Spanish officers refused to
believe him when he explained that he
was merely taking photographs to show
the American people how the sugar cane
grows.
But innocence has prevailed again, just
as it did a few days before, when Daw-
ley was arrested for attempting to pho
tograph a Spanish fort at Cardenas. He
naively explained the matter to the COM
mandant and proved how wrongly he had
been suspected by offering to take a snap
shop of that worthy free of charge. II
was, of course, a mere accident that he
posed the commandant in front of the
fort before levelng his camera at him
thus securing just the negative that he
wanted.
Speaking of photographs, Mr.. Dawley
had one taken of himself shortly before
| leaving for Cuba. The photographer
| wanted to "retouch" the negative, as al
good artists do, but Dawley said no; he
| wanted pictures of himself. The photog-
| rapher insisted and Dawley persisted. un.
| til, finally. by offering to do the retouch.
| ing acts on the artists own face with his
| fist, he prevailed. The photographer pro
| nounced the pictures very ugly, but Mr.
| Dawley only said: II am satisfied tina
| the likeness cannot be mistaken for som,
| one else
Nobody who has once seen Mr. Dawle,
will ever mistake him for anybody else

From the Cleveland, Ohio, Plair

From the Cleveland, Ohio, Plain
Dealer.
The victorious march of William Nc
Kinley towards the republican nomina-
ton for the presidency is one of the
marvels of modern politics. 1t is a pc
culiarity of this triumphal progress
that the most conspicuous figure in it
is not that of the successful candidate,
but man who has held no political
office; who has never been recognized
as prominent factor in national poll
tics: who not many months ago was
sneered at by the acknowledged lead
ers of his party as a mere amateur in
political affairs, hardly worth their no.
tice. To-day the real victor is admitted
to be not the candidate. but the volun-
teer marshal of his forces. The true
hero of the prospective triumph at st.
Louis will be mot the king, but the
king maker
1t is NJ. A. Hanna, who has made
Cleveland the center of republican po-
litical activity for some months past.
and will probably for some months to
come. He has done much towards
building up the commerce of the city
and in other ways giving it promi-
nence; he is now making ii known

everyone taking an interest in national
politics. With the political views and
purposes of Mr.. Hanna we have, of
course, no sympathy. Some of his
business enterprises were associated.
we have unsparingly condemned. 1t is
almost inevitable that the Plain Dealer
will at times in the future be in sharp
antagonism to him. but that is no rea-
son why an impartial and honest state

standing here, in his home, should not

For nearly 40 years NJ. A. Hanna has
been identified with the business inter-
ests of Cleveland. He was still quite a
young man when, at the death of his
father, he was called TO represent the
interests of the family in the wholesale
grocery firm of Hanna, Garretson &
Co. The house had large trade with
Lake Superior, which was largely car
ried on in its own steamers. That was
the beginning of Mr.. Hanna's long and
extensive association with Lake Su-
perior interests.
Soon after joining the firm which his
father had assisted in founding, Mr.
Hanna married a daughter of the late
Daniel p. Rhodes, one of the most ex.
tensive coal owners in Ohio. a stanct
democrat. and the faithful friend and
hacker of Stephen A. Douglas. Leav.
ing the wholesale grocery firm, he con.
nected himself with the coal firm OF
Rhodes & Card. Subsequently this be.
