The New York Times sHys that Mr..
Hanna - going to the senate, II be
COOS At all, 10 bis capacity of %plutocrat.
He has gone about to acquire a sena-
torship as he might acquire a steam
yacht or any other luxury be coulo
afford. He finds the m~illionaires'
club in the senate chamber a coDgenial
resort. He has been there and still
would 60. He Is able and willing u
pay bis dues. but the Ohio Legislators
seem h suspect him Of an intention to
shirk the payment Of another entrance
fee.
That he has ~''squared" the conven-
ton does not seem to tbem a reason,
Why he should he let off from "squar-
ing'' the legislature. A legislator who
voted for him, except for ''money,
property or value OF any kind" would
not necessarily be morally cu'pable,
but be would be quite unable there
after to respect himself intellectually.
To the legislators TO whom their intel.
lectual Is more valuable than their
moral self-respsct the announcement
Of the imminence OF ex-senator Calvin
Brlcs will be refreshing and oppor,une.
His arrival upon such q scene is as pre-
sented In Columbus 10 indeed calcu-
lated to make the heart OF a local
statesman leap for Joy.
There Is little doubt. however, that
Mr.. Hanna will be ultimately elected
senator from Ohio.

JUMPED THE TRACK.
Twenty People Injured in an Accident on
Street Car Line From Akron to Guy
RhOga Falls-Two May Die.

AKRON, O., June 22.-A street car on
the line from this city to Cuyahoga
Falls jumped the track and turned
over Tuesday afternoon. Nearly twen-
ty people were hurt, two of them re-
ceiving injuries that are likely to
prove fatal Those who are most Sc
verely hurt are:
Ira Rogers, of Cleveland, whose skull
was fractured and who was injured in
ternally, and Mary b. Rankin, of Ak
ron, who was hurt internally, Both of
these, it is thought, will die.
Mrs. Sarah Schumacher and Mrs.
Caroline Rankin, of Akron; Mrs. Jen-
ME Shepherd, of Trinidad, Colorado,
and Sylvester Moses, of Cleveland,
were badly, though not dangerously,
injured. The motorman and cohduc-
tor saved themselves by jumping.

The making of wood into wood pulp
and thence into paper set inventors to
thinking, and result is the discovery
of the transformation of wood fbers
into strong and handsome cloth, says
the New York Mail and Express, The
wood is boiled, crushed and the fibers
separated in parallel lines, dried an d
spun, the same as cotton or wool. Oak,
hickory and locust make very hand
some cloth, while bamboo produces
one that is almost iron-like in its
strength and elasticity. The cost OF
the new process is not large, but is
still little above that of converting
cotton or linen into substan tial tissues.

PARROTS ARE PATRIOTIC.

They Unlearn Spanish and Hurrah for
Admiral Dewey and American Heroes.
Bird fanciers who deal in parrots
have been obliged to teach their pets
new phrases to meet the eXigencies OF
the war. Trite phrases, such as Polly
wants a cracker" and other infantile
remarks that constituted the roper
toire of a well-educated parrot are nc
longer in demand. The public will
buy only such birds as can utter pa
triotic sentiments.
One dealer in talking birds who con.
ducts store in North Clark street has
on hand at present so new parrots
just imported from Venezuela and
Trinidad. Their cages are ranged
round a phonograph which is con-
stantly repeating phrases such as
these: Remember the Maine" Death
to Weyler," whats the matter with
Dewey?" "How do you feel to-day, Al
fonso?" "On to Havana" "Hurrah for
Fitzhugh Lee"
At the end of week the feathered
regiment is capable of giving utter
ance to more patriotic sentiments IN
five minutes than the most accom-
plished Fourth of July orator could in
a month. Occasionally a parrot is
found who repeats a few Spanish
words, picked up in it's South Ameri'
can home. In former days it was con-
sidered an accomplishment for n par.
rot to speak several languages, but
nowadays a parrot who speaks the
tongue of the hated dons is likely to
get it's neck wrung. Whenever one
of the birds in the shop is indiscreet
enough to utter a Spanish word he
thereby loses his allowance of food
for that day. After submitting to this
course of treatment few days they
learn to express their wants in pure
Anglo-SaXon and abandon the Cas-
tilian tongue altogether.-Chicago
Chronicle.

time of war

Fifth-We ask the congress OF the United
States TO enlarge and make more effective our
navy, so that our country may take and occupy
her proper place among the nations of the
earth. 1t must be adequate at all times for
defense against foreign foes to secure the just
rights of American capital, enterprise and
commerce in all parts of the world, and to
command respect for our flag everywhere.
SiXth--We most heartily approve Of the
steps now being taken by congress and the
president providing for the annexation OF the
Hawaiian islands n part of the United
States, and hereby express the urgent wish
that the same be fully accomplished at the
| earliest practicable date by the passage by the
senate OF the joint resolution which has al
ready met with the approval OF the house of
representatives
Seventh-Knowing that justice and humanity
alike made IL our duty to put an end TO the
hopeless and barbarous warfare waged by
Spain against Cuba, and secure for that un-
happy island a free and stable government
We most heartily approve Of the declaration
of made by the United States against
Spain, and pledge our lives and fortunes for
the purpose OF bringing 1t to quick and sue
ceSsful determination.
Eighth-We indorse and approve the patri-
otic American administration of VIM Mckin-
ley. We commend the great craftsmanship
displayed by him in his tireless endeavors to
secure an honorable settlement of the Cuban
question by diplomatic methods, and his fear
| less refusal TO be driven into war until all
| hopes OF q peaceful settlement had failed and
wise and needful steps had been taken to pre-
| pare for hostilities. We heartily endorse the
conduct of the war by the administration and
| feel confident that time will continue, more
| and mere, to demonstrate the great wisdom
and matchless leadership of President McKin-
ley so far remarkably displayed in his man
| agement OF the war and its conduct, and we
rejoice with him that in the present crisis the
American people are united in sustaining him.
and that patriotism has completely obliter-
| ated the last vestige OF sectional feeling.
| Ninth-Since the war with Spain could not
be avoided, we approve all that congress has
done to provide for the vigorous and success
ful prosecution thereof, and gratefully thank
all members OF that body, who have patriot
ically voted the revenues necessary for its con-
| duct, We also commend the action OF con-
gress in providing for raising necessary funds
| TO carry on the war by popular loan, thus af-
fording an opportunity TO citizens OF moderate
means to invest in the bonds of the govern
| ment

publican policy, have been re-established and
have been embodied into public law by the

Third-We favor all measures which will
proruote the restoration and growth of ouI

which May BE Read with Profit by Nag
cling Wives and Untruthful Husbands.
A wise woman will have her hus-
band so well trained that when she
tells him a thing once it will be
enough. Men hate to have a thing
"ding-donged into them" as some of
them elegantly express it. l am a very
even-tempered man, but l think my
self-praise would suffer severe shock
If my wife told me to order barrel
of flour when we first got up in the
morning and then repeated the com
mand six times at the breakfast table,
twice while was putting on my over
coat and gloves and then followed me
to the gate to scream it out after me
as l turned the corner. Men hate
that sort Sf nagging.
A wise man will not tell his wife
any lies; not even little white ones.
If he must lie, he will be safer and
wiser if he lies to some one less likely
to uncover his duplicity. A wife is a
regular ferret in, matter of this kind.
never told mine a harmless little fib
in my life that she didn't expose me
before the sun went down. 1t is won
derful what clever intuition women
have in this direction. 1t is dunn
founding to men who are not always
absolutely truthful. The best of hus-
| bands often feel that there are things
| they won't bother wife with"-little
complications in their business affairs
or little eXtravagant expenditures in
| the way of a hotel dinner or some
other little harmless affair of which
they would just a little rather not
| speak, or in regard to which they may
equivocate. But they'd better tell the
| truth and hold to it. 1t is always best
in the end, as men find out the older
they grow. I have found it out with
/ trust, most of the years of my life
still before me.-Zenas Dane, in N. Y
