1t has been frequently said that Senator
Hanna ought to board at the White House.
1t has been suggested that 1t be more con
venlent to run the Administration from
point of vantage in the White House

Representative William Henry King, of
Utah, Democrat is willing that Senator
Hanna should have every opportunity for
running the A Administration, believing, as
do a few others, that the more Senator
Hanna runs The Administration, the sooner
1t will go to smash. Anyhow, Representa-
tive King backed up his conviction that
Hanna and Mckinley ought to board
together by offering an amendment yester-
day to the District appropriation bill that
$780, 900 be appropriated to provide suitable
accommodation for Senator Hanna at the

A RUSH FOR sUBsTITUTION.

A citizen of Kent county, who was
in Wilmington yesterday, says that the
report is current at Dover that the
paper here which is publishing a quote
of seven persons, who. it alleges, as
sisted Teller w. N. Boggs in looting
the Dover Bank, suddenly changed its
man whom it designated Number Six
in its issue of last Monday. 1t is said
that the reporter of that paper In Do
yer went to Superintendent Holiday,
of the Delaware division. and asked
him for a permit TO come to Whining
ton on a freight train, and that Mr..
Holiday told him that only upon ur-
gent business could such a permit be
granted. The reporter said that ne
wanted to go in order to take out the
name of a Republican grocer of that
town. who was to appear as six" The
result was that the gracer's name was
taken out and the name of ex-Secretary
Of State Hawkins, who is a Democrat,
was ubstituted.

"I1NDER THE DOME"

The scene in Under the Dome" in
which the United States ship Trenton,
after a mighty struggle with wind and
wave, finally is thrown high upon the
beach, is one which can never fail to
arouse the latent patriotism in even
the most phlegmatic American citizen.
This scene is historically correct, ac-
cording to the testimony of many who
have seen the play and who them
selves were sharers in the terror of
that awful night and day in the har-
Dor at Apia. The men of the Trenton
one and all, displayed unexampled
bravery. History does not record a
more divinely unselfsh action than
that of these men, who, tossing help
lessly on the mighty waves, expecting
nothing but speedy death, saw the Cal
liope slowly but surely gaining the
open sea and comparative safety, and
sent after it a mighty cheer of encour-
agement. Again, when all hope had
been abandoned and the men patiently
awaited the fatal moment, the band
assembled on deck and the ringing
notes Of the "Star Spangled Banner
bid defiance to the storm Under the
Dome" is to be the attraction at
the Opera House, on Friday, Febru-
