She was working faithfully and with
all energy, soliciting in order to get
enough funds for the benefit of 4
worthy edifce, q house of God,
when she, in her dutiful work, was
stricken with congestion of the

MISS HANNA AS A MANAGER
She Takes The Matter Of Her En-
easement In Her Own Hands.
Any Attention to Less Inn
poftant Affairs.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Miss
Hanna, daughter OF the senator from
Ohio, appears to be good deal OF a
manager herself. Senator and Mrs.
Hanna admit that their eldest daugh.
ter really ia engaged TO Mr.. Besry, the
successful young bridge builder OF
Toledo, who has for some little time
past permitted it to be known that he
was Miss Hapna's lance.
Mrs. Hanna, In speaking OF the
matter for publication, etsted that the
denial OF her son arose from desire
to have the engagement kept out OF I'll Q
papers for the present and not from
any disspproval OF her daughters
choice.
Mi. Beery early in the autumn Rp-
preached Senator Hanna ior the pur-
pose OF formally asking for his daugh-
ter's hanu In marriage. At that time
the senator was too busy with political
matters to give the answer desired by
the young people and put them oil by
saying he could not then give 1t proper
attention. Again Mr.. Berry up.
preached the senator in the very
height Of the confusion attendant upon
his selection for the Senate. Again
the senator stated that he could not
give the matter attention at that time.
Then tho young people decided to take
matters In their own hands and Gu
gagged themselves forthwith. When
the family left Ohio to come to WASH
iugtoD, Miss Hanna, after the train
had moved out from the station,
showed her mother the handsome en-.
gaRement ring given her W. parting
present by Mr.. Berry.
Mrs. Hanna went on to cay that
while she thought her daughter should
have waited for her fathers formal
consent, she could not blame her for
taking matters in her own hands as
sue had done.
Personally, Senator and MR.. Hanna
like Mt. Berry and approve OF the
match, but for the present did not care
TO have anything mentioned In public.
Having brought about the engag, ment,
despite Mr.. Hanna's Gtsrs to pro-
crastinste, The young PEG lie next con.
trived to steal march on the senator
by giving the news to the public. Miss
Hanna, before leaving her home In
Ohio, wrote to her grandmother In
Toledo and told her to have the en-.
gagement made public in the Toledo
papers.
No time has as ye. bsen set for tn Q
marriage as Senator aud Mrs. Hanna
do not care to have their dsught er
leave them Tor W lille.
