MR.. HANNA'S QUIET DAY.
He Goes Sightseeing With Sher

man and Proctor.
Mr.. Mark Hanna was in fine physical
keller and effervescent spirits yesterday,
the same being Sunday and presumably
day off in wire pulling and cabinet
ma king.
He had what all OF the politicians re-
sarded as quiet Sunday and yet he
found time to have d long and most likely
historical talk with Mr.. Sherman. Walls
have ears and bell boys are Intelligent.
Therefore Mr.. Hanna and Mr. Sherman
went off by themselves behind fine pair
OF bays out into the suburbs, where they
drove around and talked Cabinet and
ONO Senatorship TO their hearts con-
tent. 1t goes without saying that they
did not take stenographer along.
Later in the day il was Senator Proctor's
turn. He and Mr.. Hanna also went out
driving and when they returned IL was
time for dinner. By this time all the
world was in the lobby OF tue Arlington
except the Democratic dignitaries and
Speaker Reed.
Mr.. Hanna got up early and had break
fast with Mr.. Butterfieldof Ohio and W w.
Dudley of Indiana, of whom people heard
tell in the Harrison campaign. The rest
or MI Hanna Is DAY arIngs have been
told already briefly, except those chap
tiers which he told himself.
After dinner there We're scattered about
the lobby Senator Platt, Senator Bur
roWs, Senator Thurston, Senator Aid
rich, Gen. Horace Porter, Hon. Joseph
Cannon, Mr.. Payne and a dozen or more
notabiesS Mr.. Hanna came ont from din
ner gorgcously attired in a black frock
coat with a blue bow and Il turned down
collar, rosy complexion, blue gray eyes i,
which had been doped into un wonted bright
ness by various kinds OF consomme and fried
fish.
He was at peace with the world. The
newspaper men made break for him in
flying wedge fashion and held him up in
the doorway between the office hall and
the corridor.
"Gentlemen," said Mr.. Hanna-as a mat
ter of fact he said boys" This was
said in such IL friendly, encouraging tone
that they expected him to proceed with
the rest of the speech, as they do in the
minstrel show, to- wit, with the rattle of
bones and the customary Gentlemen, be
seated" But he didn't. He said, in a
patcrnal tone OF mock gravity and sur
prise: 'Gentlemen, this is SUndayn'
Mr.. Hanna was, nevertheless, lnterpO-
lated pointedly as to what he had done
during the day. Well he said, Il got
up, ate breakfast, went to church, and also
to Sunday school"
Mr. Hanna went on TO explain that while
he went To church, he did not go in. In
fact, he said that he was a Quaker, went
out 10 look Tor line church. UoLiunJ IInd
it, and returned to the hotel.
Have you secDany ofthe district people?"
NO
Seen Col. Parher?''
Mo-
Mr. Woodward?''
Mo-
- As he had not seen Col. Parker or Mr..
Woodward on the inaugural craftsmanship
business 1t was generally conceded that Mr..
Hanna really had quiet, almost lonesome
Sunday, and he was permitted to depart in
peace over To the cigar 81 and where he met
Mr. Grosyenor and Mr.. Cannon This closed
the incident, and All other Incidents were
also concluded shortly after by Mr.. Hanna
ostensibly going to bed; but, a Mr.. Bur
rows disappeared about the same time
That MIR. hanna did, il was supposed that
they had gone up to take a carriage drive
in Mr.. Hanna's suite of apartments.
There was nothing new as to the ar
engagements for the parade. II was said,
however, that Mr.. Woodward is preparing
MS list or committees, and that the chair
men VIII be announced this week
The craftsmanship OF the inaugural COM
mittee' is by no means an unimpOrtant
matter. 1t is stepping-stone TO higher
litiiEN- The sub-Cnalt nottIaii!lss are IOt very
valuable except as to the one who has
the letting out Of the privileges for the
street stands. There are thousands of
dollars in this, and it viii be looked after
by several prominent gentlemen.
II has almost been forgotten, but it is
a fact. that Commissioner Truesdell ap-
peared originally in politics as a contributor
To the inaugural festivities when Mr.. Har-
riSon was inaugurated. He got a contract
for providing the electric lights for the
ball room, and in those days it was neceS-
Sary to import dysamoS- Mr. TruesdelI
got them, nevertheless. and he has been
in the electric light business more or less
ever since. He is also Commissioner
