"The numbers of male infants born
yearly exceeds that of female by one to
four percent, the proportion varying
slightly from year TO year." writes Pro-
fessor D. r McAnally of "The Ameri-
can Girls Chances of Marriage" in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. THE
mishaps of boyhood, however, reduce the
number of boys TO some extern, but not
so much as to make the adult females
Outnumber the males. For every Amer
lean woman, therefore, there ought to
be husband in posse if not in esse, AMI
the fact that there is large percentage
of unmarried adult women in the coun-
try, and greater proportionate num-
Der in some sections thar 10 others, is
attributable To causes which have dis
turbed the balance of population. In all
new countries-.-and compared W th
Europe the United States is new coun-
try there is a larger proportion of
males than females. The aggregate
population of the United States, so far
as the late st official figures show, is 90,
622,520, or which 32,067, $50 are males
and ~, 504 $40 are females. Thus the
prepondarance OF males over females
would seem 10 make it comparatively
easy for the American girl to secure a
husband, but in certain sections this is
evidently rot the case, else the proper
ton of adult unmarried women would
not be SO large. If men would remain
in the neighbo DDS where they were
born the proportion of men and women
would be nearly equal all over the coun-
try, but men find work hard to get in
older and more p,pulOus communities,
and 60 to the newer states. The young
women are left behind, and the young
men, after settling in their new homes,
forget the companions Of their youth,
and contract alliances among their new
friends he in west, hence some of the
eastern states show a surplus of
females.D

HANNA'S HOUSE PARTY.
DISCUSSION OF THE NEXT CAM.
PAIGN TO BE A FEATURE.

Townsville Has Taken on COnsIderab BILE
Political Importance. Hanna SAYS He
Wants to Get Away From Politics but
Evidence Ia Against him.
A srecial from Washington to the Sa-

Mark Hanna has rounded up dis
tinguishe0 house party for entertain
mept 1T his Georgia retreat, and it is
understood that the planning of the next
repub llcan campaign Will be one of the
diversions OF the trip.
Among those who have assembled I'M.
der the Hanna roof are President Nc
Kinley, Vice President Hobart, Senator
Tom Platt of New York, Senator Shelby
Cullom Of Illinois, Senator Burrows Of
Michigan and several other noted re-
publican leaders from various sections
OF the country.
Senator Hanna, when seen at the
white house before leaving for Georgia :,
laughed at the idea that there is any
political significance in bis house party.
He saws Townsville is a delightful place
TO rest and take life easy, and all of the
gentlemen invited to be his guests are
only too glad to get away from the polit-
ical atmosphere of Washington and dis

few days.
HANNA'S POLITICAL DREAM.
Nevertheless, those who know senator
Hanna best are aware that bis heart is
set on seeing Mckinley and Hobart re-
nominated at the next republican cOnven~
ton, and he is playing his cards in that
direction whether he be IN ThOmasvlle
Washington or elsewhere. He loves
politics. and he flavors his private and
public utterances with strong objection
of partisanship upon the slightest pre-
text.

party is professional politician, and it

minds from that fascinating subject,

TROUBLES OF HIS OWN.
AN AFFAIR OF A PAINFUL CHAR.
ACTER TO THE PRESIDENT.

The Approaching Trial of the Slayer of

Highly Sensational Gossip. Elite in Wash-
ington Much Stirred Up.
If you happen to drop around in
Washington, d. g., within the next
few weeks you need not bother about
paying your respects to the president
to worry him with your troubles; she
has troubles of his own"
1t is an old but true saying that sac
cidentS sometimes happen in the hes t

not an exception of the general rule,

The forthcoming trial of Mrs. George
fer the killing of George ID. Saxton,

kinney, Is the subject of highly sensa
tlonal gossip among the elite of Wash
ington.
The president has taken personal IN
terest in prosecuting the defendant,
and as the time set for the trial, April
3, draws near, his active participation
IN the matter shows a determination
to "eXhonerate the slain by the pun
ishment of the slayer" As this fallacy
is weakness of the human family it
has become prevalent, and the PRESS
dent himself is only human.
Mrs. Mckinney has authorized the
prosecuting attorney to employ the
ablest talent IN the land to aid him in
the prosecution.
Judge Mccarthy, who is looking for
federal appointment, is making him
self very conspicuous In the matter.
Ex-Judge Fawcet, an old Foraker man,
is also for Mckinley. Fast young men
and llbertines generally, who have
luckily escaped the fate of George Sax
ton, are anxious for the conviction of
Mrs. George as matter of safety TO
themselves. The society folks desire
her conviction in order to lift a scan
dial from the presidents family.
But while all this pressure is being
brought to bear the defense is not
idle. Dispositions are being taken In
several states to show how many young
ladies', formerly in good standing and
Of good families, George Saxton has
ruined.
The most sensational feature is the
claim that the father of SaXton and
Mrs. Mckinley will be dragged into
the affair to show that SaxtOn came by
his moral weakness honestly. This
will certainly be the most sensational
trial ever held in-the state of Ohio, if
not in the UuIted States.

the contrary Notwithstanding. Some
interesting political gossip will surely
emanate from hanna's burg while the
presidential party is in Georgia.
While Senator Cullom is on Senator
Hanna's plantation he should take few
lessons in hitching team of horses. AS
presidential possibility on the farmers
ticket the senior senator from Illinois
should know how to hitch and uuhtch
team of horses, mules or oxen. He
poses as the friend of the farmer, and
banks heavily upon his personal resem>
blance tC the iate Abraham Lincoln.
"Uncle SheIby's" ignorance in the art
of Harvesting and embarrassing a team
of horses was demonstrated in front of
the presinent's house a few morning
ago. There had been a fall Of snow,
followed by a freeze, and the streets
were slippery in consequence. Senator
Cullom and two political friends drove
to the presidents house in the senator s
carriage.
CULLoM NEEDED ASSISTANCE.
Just under the portico one of the
horses lost his footing and went down
In his effort to rise the fallen horse
tripped up his mate, and the two kicked
and pitched desperately without being
able 10 secure footing on the icy pave
ment. Senator Cullom and companion
scampered out of the carriage, while the
cOachman rushed to the horses heads.
Somebody suggested that the harness
be 10 ,sened, so tnat the carriage might
be run back, thus giving the frightened
animals better chance TO rise. Senator
Cullom tugged at the traces without
success, and all the time the horses
were kicking at furious rate.
1t was cabinale day, and fortunately
the secretary of agriculture, Mr.. Wilson,
came along, and with the air of an ex-
penenced stable hand loosened up the
the harness and assisted in getting the
horses to their feet. In the meantime
"Uncle Shelby" expressed his gratitude
to the secretary of agriculture, and there
was general laugh Oy several mem )ers

FORMER DAWSONIAN GETS INTO
TROUBLE IN ALBANY.

MIR. J. II. Carr Takes the Part of His Son
in Fuss with Two Other Boys and
Speads a Short While in Jail. One Bow
Hit on the Head with Brick.
Mr.. j. B, Carr, the well-known butch
er who recently moved form Dawson to
Albany, spent few ,urs in the DoughN
elty county jail the other day for taking
tbe part OF bis son in fight with two
other boys. the particulars of the fight
between the boys and Nj. Carts part in
1t are given as follows by the Albany
Herald:
''Yesterday afternoon Masters Max
and Seigo Farkas, sons of Mr.. Sam Far
kas, were driving in buggy down Com
MERGE street, and when they came in
front of the home OF Mr., j. B. Carr,
whose lietle boy about the same age as
Max was playing out in front of bis gate,
in some way Max aud the Carr boy got
into fight, and Mr.. Car came out, he
says, to separate them.
''Just then little Sjego Farzas was hit
on the head with brick, which the
Farkas boys claim was thrown by Mr..
Carr, but which Mr.. Carr and his son
say was thrown by the Carr by. The
brick inflicted painful wound on the
little fellows head, and medical attention
WAS necessary,
GAS soon as Mr.. Fark9s learned of the
affair he swOre out "a warrant against
Mr.. Carr, charging him with assault

once arrested and placed in Jail, where
he remained until last night, when he
was given commitment trial before

$21, 100000 ~ CLAIMS.

Government Asked to Pay for Property De.
stroYed by Insurgents IN Cuba.
The department. of state has received
claims to the amount Of $21 ,000,0OO
on the account property in Cuba be-
longing to American citizens, and
also on account of injuries sustained by
citizens for which pecuniary indem-
nifty is sought. The peace treaty ex,
pressly provided that the United
States and Spain each should assume
liability for all such claims preferred
by their respective citizens. Therefore
the United States government is proba-
bly, chargeable for all damages sustain
ed by Americans through property de-
s5oyed in Cuba, by either the insur>
gents or Spanish troops, and in cases of
some plantation owned by American
citizens, these losses We're very heavy.
Congress made no provision for the
settlement of these claims, so the State
Department at present is unable to do
more than merely file them. 1t is the
purpose of the department when con-
gress meets again to call attentions
to the treaty obllgtt ons assumed by
the United States towards these
claimants and suggest that some
means of settlement be provided.
