ing, shouting crowd filled the lobby and
corridors of the Neil House and cheers
for Senator Hanna swept like waves
through the house and out on the streets.
Senator Hanna responded TO the repeated
calls from his friends, and in answer to
their demands made speech, congratu-
lating them on behalf of the Republican
party for the suspicious outcome.
1t is not so much, a matter of person
atty" said Senator Hanna, "as it is a
question of keeping the pledges, and up
holding the integrity of the party and of
giving heed TO the viii of the people"
The excited crowd lifted the senator
from the floor and man after man en-
braced him, while others were shaking
both hands.
Finally the crowd was held back and
gotten into line and for fully an hour the
senator stood and grasped the hands and
listened to the eXultant congratulations of
the crowd.
Thank God, the right will prevail, 8"
Praise God, from whom all blessings
flow, GLORY, hallelujah." and kindred
expressions filed the air. One enthusl-
asst, with uplfted hat. shouted: "Sena-
tor, this takes a load off me as big as a
freight car"
The crowd and cheering continued I'M
abated during the afternoon. The feei
ms VI Iel-ei among the RepuDncanS was
lndescrlbable. They realized keenly the
impending danger, and gave way to eX-
traVagant expressions of pleasure. The
whole city was wild with excitement.
At the Great Southern Hotel there was
many complaints against members on the
Democratic side as well as on the Re-
publican side of the House. Some charg-
ed that Mr.. Kurtz sacrificed McKissoh
and did not want to be voted himself
for senator when there was not votes
enough in sight to elect. The Demo-
cratic members were holding conference
with view to bringing out a straight
Democratic candidate for senator to-mor-
row, and for which honor John r. Nc
Lean was the favorite. In that event 1t
was thought Hanna might tomorrow Sc
cure the entire Republican vote

The Dignity of Labor.

2
The trouble with most young men Is that
they do not understand the dignity Of man-
ual labor. They do not realize that nonor3
and fortune may be more readily realized
outside OF the so-called learned Professions
than In them and that il Is just as honor
able TO swing the hammer or TO hold piow
as IL Is to make a speech in Rourt or ann
putate a limb The lessolf young men
should be taught as early as possible "a
that 1t Is not so much what a man does for
a living as II Is how well he does ii, ana
that manual labor Is as honorable as any
other.

to Their Employees.

Lowell, Mass. Jan. 11--The agents of
the seven cotton mills, which have posted
notices of a reduction, tonight issued a
reply to the statements of me labor or
CARNATIONS and operatives in general on
the cut down. They explain the causes
for the action and close by saying: THAT
there are in the South many small mills
filled with old machinery running on low
grades, Is true enough. but also inmate
rial. The fact remains absolutely indis-
putable that the Southern mills of recent
date, which we have most cause to fear
as competitor is built on the very best
plans that the most skillful engineers Of
New England can draw, and the best con-
tractors in the country can erect, is filed
with the best machinery that America or
England can produce; is Differed by able
men, and Is turning out first-class goods,
as coarse or fine as any made IN any
quantity at Lowell at a living profit, at
prices which would net loss to any mill

he the Result.

STILL HOPE TO WIN.
Opponents still Claim Their Ability
to Defeat Hanna.

Columbus, O., jan Hilary c. Mason
of Cleveland, speaker of the House, to-
night gave out the following:
ITO the Public The principal reason
why I have been opposed to Mr.. Hanna
is because of the fact that two years ago,
when the fifty-year franchise bill was
before the Legislature, l was approached
by a man from Cleveland, who was lob
bying in the interest OF that bill. He Of
fered me bride of $1,000 if 1 would vote
for that measure.
AT my conference with Mr. Hanna last
Saturday 1 told him that this reason
would prevent me from supporting him.
because l believed he knew the street
railway, of which he was president, was
behind the man who offered the bride and
that he himself was on the ground lobby
ing IN the interest of the bill.
Harry c. Mason
The Democratic steering committee of
the fusionists tonight issued the follow
ing manifesto:
ITO the Public: Marcus A. Hanna will
not be elected by this Legislature. (Signed. D
ALLEN o. Myers,
James Ross

Col Jephtha Garrard of Cincinnati, who
has been spoken of as the candidate of the
informed that Hanna had received suf-
fcient votes to elect him. did not appear
surprised, and spoke as if he expected such
a result. He said 1T was impossible to
secure the vote of the Cincinnati delega-
ton for McFisson, as his sympathy for sill
yer was doubted
Gov. Bushnell tonight said: 81 simply
desire to repeat the statement which
made day or two since, that the result
of the contest rests with the members of
the legislature. Whoever they may elect
will receive my cordial support.
The governor again reiterated that he
had been misrepresented and misquoted
by certain newspapers, and declared that
in some instances absolute righteousness
had been reached.
Mayor McKisson of Cleveland was in
conference during the evening with the
opposition, and it was declared very en-
phatically by their leaders that the fight
had not by any means been lost, and that
they would again rally their forces on the
joint ballot to a sufficient degree to win
the battle.

Insect ConQuerors.

A recent bulletin of the department of agriculture points out the fact that within the past Is years there has been a complete change in the chief insect foe of the cotton plant. Previous to 1881 the cotton worm was not only the principal, but almost the sole, insect depredator dreaded on the cotton planta tions. Since that year the cotton worm has gradually disappeared, and a new enemy to the cotton plant, the boll- worm, has taken its place. Such revo- lutions in the insect world not infre- quently occur, and sometimes they take on the appearance of actual conQuests effected by one species over others. In the Sandwich Islands, for instance, a species of ant introduced from abroad is driving out all other insects, the only native species that seems able to with stand it being the earwig.

Miss Noah.

The scholar should know his text books, else he may have the mortifioa. tion of being outmatched in his owr speciality by g layman. as in this story from an exchange:
 A child was brought to a Yorkshire vicar for baptism. As he was told that the name was to be Noah he naturally referred to the infant as ''he" in the course of the service. Soon he felt his surplice pulled by one of the women, who whispered to him that ''it was 6 lass" D.
 "But Noah is not a girls name, ,' said the parson.
 "Yes, it is" spoke up the child's fa- ther.
 An adjournment was made to the vestry to settle the point The father said that whenever he had a child to be named he opened the Bible and chose the first name of the proper sex tha, met his eye. The clergyman insisted that in the present case a mistake had been made, whereupon the father opened the Bible at Numbers xvi, 8S, and read, ''The names of the daughters o1 Zelophehad were Noah," etc.
 There was no more to be said.

WAL.EA.


 Albert Nelson shot and killed himself at his home near Wales Monday morning. MT. Nelson arose as usual In the morning and went out of doors. A few minutes ater his wife heard the report of @ gun, and as her husband did not immediately went to an outbuilding used as a work shop, where she found her husbands body. He had shot himself with single barrel shot gun. The charge entered the neck just below the side of the jaw, and passed inward into the head, making a fearful wound. Death must have been instantaneous. Mrs. Nelson's daughter was sent for help, and ran to the home of her step-father's brother, Ira. The lat ter sent to Wales for . physician, who pronounced MT. Nelson dead upon his ar- rival. Medical Examiner Holbrook of Palmer was notified and viewed the body. No reason except despondency can be assigned for MT. Nelson's act. For some time he had not enjoyed good health, and his brothers death last week was a great shock to him. For many years the brothers had lived together. and were known as the Nelson boys" all about this section. Both were popular and they were deeply attached to each other. Neither of the boys was much on conver- cation. They probably talked less than any other two men in Wales. Their hos pitality was unbounded, as anybody can testify who has ever called at their pleas ant little home in the Hollow. They raised plenty of fruit on the place, and always had cider and wine in their cellar. It was as much their pleasure to give freely of what they had to their neigh bors and friends, as 1t was for the latter to receive. By the death of these two men Wales loses two unique characters. By the death of these two kind-hearted, upright citizens the community loses twU more of type of New England manhood which has been the bone and sinew of our progress, and an important element of the prestige which Massachusetts and our neighboring states enjoy. Albert Nelson was 69 years of age He was married 13 years ago. He leaves a wid- ow, three children and brother, Ira Mel son.

Lisxt to yon Bulov,a Mother

Hans is evidently gifted with 8 mu- sical organization of the rarest kind. His executive talent will easily place him in the front rank of the greatest pianists, and his essays at composition denote quite exceptional qualities of imagination, of individuality and of conception. Besides, Hans has taken an antipathy to every career which would sever him from art. Permit me, then, to confide to your motherly love the happy solution of the noble struggle be- tween his natural vocation and that destined for him, however bright and alluring it might be, and in view of the sentiments which dictate this letter pray pardon the intercession I have ventured to make to you today" Early Core spondence of Hans Van Bulow."
