HANNA is CHOSEN.
A worthy Representative OF Ohio Re-
pubItcnnIsm.

pubitcuntsm.
The assurance given by Gov. Bushnell
that Mark Hanna will succeed John
sherman as United States senator from
Ohio is most welcome. not only 10 all
friends OF the Mckinley administration.
but TO all who believe that successful
leadership in n great battle for good
cause should have appropriate recogni-
ton.
Any other issue OF the contest for the
succession TO Mr.. Sherman would have
borne the flavor OF intrigue. and would
have been discred table alike 10 the APP
pointing power and to the state OF Ohio.
IL would have been the beginning OF
factional fight. lmalng at least as long
as the life OF the Mckinley administra-
ton, and an incidental result would
have been eithcr the election OF Mr..
Hanna or OF a democratic colleague for
Senator Foraker. The democratic bar
rels. opened by snch men as John II.
Mclean or Calvin Brice. have always
been on tap. ready for just such fac
tionsl strife among Ohio republicans,
and this time they were fairly yawn-
ing for an opportunity TO debauch the
legislature. III there we're no other
cause for satisfaction in view OF Mr..
Ilanna's selection il would be found in
the reflection that the country will be
spared the disgrat OF seeing Sherman's
seat sold at auction TO the highest bid
der.
Mr.. Hanna will prove worthy OF the
honor conferred upon him in this ap-
pointmcnt lie will be notable fig
ure In national politics and factor
In national legislation. His ability is
attested not only In the management
OF bis own business. but as n manager
OF men and In the shaping OF policies.
His integrity Is unquestioned. His pa
trlotism and public spirit are unsur-
DDS are open TO the light OF day In pri-
vate and In public life he Is n model
citizen. There Is no smell Of scandal on
his garments. The calcium glare OF n
heated political canvass was powerless
TO reveal any shadow on his character.
There are no apologies 10 be made for
Mark Hanna.
To the administration IL is n matter
OF consequence that MIR. Hanna is &c
go 10 the senate. The loyal following
OF Presidcnt-elcct Mckinley in that
body Is reinforced by the accession OF
Mai. McKinley's tried and true friend.
II Is an open secret that he could have
q seat In the cabinet. but there bis
sphere OF usefulness would be greatly
restricted. lie was right 10 prefer the
senate. That Is the place for him.

FOR FANCY DRESS BALLS.

Historical Costumes and Pretty Flow
Dresscs for Young Women.
Fancy dress balls are still in tho
fashion, as they have been for many
years, and the novelty OF costume
which can transform n woman into
some character OF fiction or history
never fails to excite fresh interest. Tho
gayest spirits can find expression in
this sort OF entertainment, where every
one iInagines she is some one else, and
conventional ways and manners are SO
easily lost In the part she has TO play.
She may have O. very vague idea of the
character she tries TO represent, but
her costume is a success il her friends
Gun recognize n resemblance.
Historical costumes arc very popular
this season. as they afford good OPP
portunity for the use OF rich and ele-
CANT materials and by few slight
changes can be made so becoming. The
Queen Elizabeth costume OF black satin
with white brocaded silk front woven
with gold threads and deliberately cm-
broidered with pearls is regal enough
for the would-be queen. and the high
ruff collar Is very becoming 10 small
oval face. A renaissance queens cos
tune Is another choice which Is charm
ing. The undcrslSirt and vest are OF
antique brocade, the bodice and
tlashed sleeves OF dark red velvet and
the shoulder draper-ies and puflings of
white chiffon. The overdess of gray
cloth is lined with pink silk and
trimmed on the edge with gold gallon.
Another favorite model Is n sixteenth
century gown of brocaded silk with a.
velvet panel and slashcd sleeves filled
In with white chiffon and full over
sleeve Of ormine.
Flower dresses are the prettiest for
young women, and green tulle with a,
pink satin waist alid trimming OF rose
leaves, worn with green shoes and stock
ings and Il green satin cap. represents
the rosebud In the daintiest manner. A
pretty violet dress IL made of pale yell
low silk for the underdress and green
satin overslsirt and bodice trimmed all
around the edge with violets; sprays of
violets fall over the pulled sleeves and
corselet belt OF mnuve velvet is laced
up the front with silver cord. The
swallow dress Is another youthful and
effective costume made with an under
skirt OF white silk and an overdress OF
blue gray silk. with flying birds In the
hair and on the shoulders.-N. Y. Sun.

WORKS SHUT DOWN.

DELAWARE IRON COMPANY
CLOSED ITS SHOPS SATURDAY
FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD.
The Delaware Iron Works closed
down on Saturday at noon. 1t was
a surprise to some that this action was
taken and others were of the opinion
that It was because of the Fourth of
July.
rumor was current during the
week that the works were about to
change from the hands OF the present
owners to a large syndicate. This was
attributed by others as the reason for
the close down. However, the rumor
was run down, and It was found to be
without foundation.
The works are closed down for an in
definite period, and between 400 and 500
people are out Of employment as a re-
suit This is about one-half OF the
usual number employed. The works
have been running on about one-hali
time lately. Everyone anticipated that
good times might come along and the
establishment would be started up al
full blast.

then be laid out and the benches placed

There are fears in the minds of many
New Castle people that some OF the
children who play in the market square
may be killed by the electric cars. They
get up on the iron fence that surrounds
the square as the cars come along and
endeavor to touch the latter. Should a
child topple over in front of car the
fall would be fatal A wire netting

Rev Dennis ]. Flynn, of st. Patrick's
parish, has a handsome st. Bernard
dog. He, or some one of his neigh
bors, is the owner of a half-grown
Scotch collie. The two dogs must be
great friends. II is presumed that yes
terday morning there was considerable
racket up around Fourteenth and King
streets, and that the collie said to the
st. Bernard: Come on. Let's get away
from this neighborhood until the
Fourth is over" They trotted over the
West Side of the city and drifted into
the dead end of Monroe street, thinking
they had found a quiet refuge. But
they were deceived for there was a
regular fusilade OF fire-crackers. little
and big. The ST. Bernard took it all
coolly, but the collie, being Of timid
nature. was badly frightened. Find

on the street they took refuge in 8
