hANNA'S REPLY.
Senator Denies That He Used rIeKin-
ley's Name In Connection With
the Temperance Situation.

Columbus, O., May 4.-Rev. Purley
A. Baker, State Superintendent Of the
Anti-saloon League, said today he
would incorporate in the political cir
culars he is distributing broadcast, the
reply of Senator Hanna to the letter
Baker sent the Senator regarding
these circulars.
Mr.. Baker has not yet received the
Senator's reply, which Cleveland ad-
vices say is as follows:
My Dear Sir-I am in receipt of
yours of the 1st inst, and reply that
ordinarily do no not pay any atten-
tion to such documents as your circular
and only do so now to deny that 1
ever used McKinley's name in giving
reason why thought it would be well
that the temperance question rest
where it was. That made any bargain
with any interests in consideration Of
contribution to campaign funds is simp-
ly an absurd lie. I do not think the
methods of your circular are calculated
to help your cause. Truly yours.
M. A. HANNA.
Bakers letter, which drew forth the
reply, is in part as follows:
Dear Sir-Enclosed you will find
copy OF a circular, large number of
which we expect to circulate through
out the State. Since you are charged
in the circular with taking an active
part in securing the defeat Of the Clark
local option bill, which was before the
last General Assembly, it is but fair
that you should have an opportunity
before it is circulated extensively Of
seeing the same, and if you are not
fairly represented therein to make the
fact known to US at this time. While
we feel that we have abundant evidence
and to spare for substantiating all
statements made in the circular, we,
nevertheless, desire to give all upon
whom it reflects the opportunity to
deny anything in it they deem incor-
rect or unfair.
A similar letter was sent Senator
Foraker, and the following is his re-
lply:
Senator Foraker's reply as published
yesterday, is quite lengthy. He says
that he has always held that the ward
option feature would have bad in
fluence in city politics, and serve to
bring about Democratic triumph in the
cities; and that he had repeatedly
stated his opinion publicly throughout
the State. But he says he never saw
the Clarke bill, nor the Harris bill,
never used his influence to help defeat
either, and denounces as false other
charges made against him, such a. the
charge that he lobbied against these
bills, that he attended conference in
Cincinnati, in opposition to the Clark
bill, and hotly condemns the methods
of Mr.. Baker, in charging him falsely
with things there is no truth in, and
then asking him to deny them.

creo,Pest IN SCUM Arri,.a

One of the greatest pests of south AZ
RIGA is the locusts, which descend in
swarms each year upon the farms of
Natal and the Transvaal They some
times fly in such numbers that railroad
trains are blocked and are forced TO
wait until the bodies of the insects are
shoveled from the tracks. Last year
the government of Cape Colony pad
out SIS, 500 for locusts' eggs. ut the rate
of 10 cents pound As it takes 10000
eggs to weigh pound an idea of the
enormous number destroyed in this
way may he gathered. But the locusts
are not an unmiXed curse. They are
eaten by the natives, who say they
make delicious food. and all animals.
including horses. are said to be fond
OF them.

women is offered an attractive choice
from notifications of the empire coat
These show none of the awkward fea-
lures of the box coat. Almost all of them
are set on yoke, and in the manage
ment of this yoke and the draping about
its edge lies the chief grace. The Marie
Antoinette hood drapery is the favorite.
and is modified in many charming ways,
besides now and then being a really truly
hood. A scarf draping about the yoke
and knotting at one side to fall in long
ends that mark the opening of the coat
is one of the more graceful ideas. Such
scarf of mauve chiffon weighted with
deep band of sable made the shoulder
drapery to the dark green cloth Empire
coat shown in the next picture. The
fringed ends of the scarf hung free, the
longer one knotting again below the
waist along the edge of the coat. A yoke
of stitched panne velvet to match the
cloth was topped by a collar of the fur.
Stitched panne velvet is much used for
yokes of this kind. 1t appeared in the
cloak shown. In this the main material
was tan melton cloth. the shoulder drap-

band OF ivory white insertion. In these
garments there is a tendency toward fit
ting the figure snugly to the sides, and
to shape it in pretty wen at the back, the
front being drawn smooth and fat across
the bust and falling fiat below without
bagginess.
Capes are not Is modish as long coats,
but they are too comfortable and useful
TO be entirely discarded. They are usu-
ally long and frankly for warmth They
are made of cloth, often lined with fur
and elaborated by stitching or strapping
They may be set on yoke, and almost
always in the new ones there is some be-
coming elaboration about the collar. In
the one that appears here there was car

turned collar with white chiffon and add
ing dainty bow. The arrangement may
be anything that is white and fluffy, and
lace is frequently used. Sometimes scarf
ends fall to the edge of the cloak These
capes are usually longest at the back.

Already it has come to the point where
woman should show pleats in some por-

good grace continue to wear a gown with

model the top of the skirt pleats was
