How Their Friendship Began. L..


 A friend of President Mckinley and Sen- ator Hanna gives an interesting account of the birth and growth of the friendship be- tween them. The two men, who had met only once before found themselves lodged in the same room when they were delegates to the convention which finally nominated arfield for President. MT. Hanna favored Blaine MT. Mckinley was thick-and-thin supporter of Sherman. At one point a scheme was matched whereby the conven- tion was to be stampeded for Blaine. It's authors felt the need of telling MT. Han na at very unusual 1our in order that he might be ready to aid them al the crit fcal moment. They entered his room quiet ly using the key of one of them who had a cot in the room occupied by both Mir Mo- Kinley and MT. Hanna In the darkness they mistook Mckinley for Hanna and, gently rousing him, poured into his ears the scope and purpose of their plot. They told him with wealth of detail, how Sherman was to be routed and how, as a climax, the nomination was to go to Blaine Ion landslide"
 "tts all very interesting, gentlemen" said MT Mckinley, when they had finished, but you have made a mistake I am a Sher- man delegate The Blaine delegate" point ing to the sleeping Hanna, "is over there."

Good for One horse.

New York Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Down Fifth avenue fish wagon was be- ing driven this afternoon. An automobile was coming the other way at full speed. At Fifty-first street there was a sudden gust of wind, then a collision, and the fish vendors horse was thrown violently on the sidewalk. A young man jumped out of the automobile with profuse apologies. to which the driver responded with sundry strange ca ths Even when the stranger helped to get the dazed and rather battered horse on its feet, he did not relent. I'm very sorry" said the young man for his fifth time, as he reached for his card case. "If the horse is badly hurt, just let me know and I'll get you a new one" That sounds all right" said the driver, in a surly tone, 'but this horse cost money and how do l know you'll do it?" The young man handed over his card. A remarkable change came over the drivers face as he studied the bit of pasteboard. "Oh, I guess you're good for horse," he said, finally, with queer smile as the automobile moved away. The name was that of William K. Vanderbilt, Jr It was his sixth mobile accident.

Visits From Ones Poor Relations.

From the New York Mail and Express.
 If the Duke of Manchester is wise young man he will give ms wife's grand sire, and the wagon load of red apples destined for her, which the honest old farmer will cart over the country lead ing to Cincinnati. such greeting as will make his tales of town life the wonder of the West Liberty corner grocery store for years to come. He will welcome him with open arms, turn over to him the spare room, devour the shiny red apples to the verge of indiges- tion, and see that his brides elderly relative has the best seat at the the atre, with some one at his elbow to coach him. As the grandparent of lovely American, the girl of his choice, the English nobleman ought to discern the genuine gold under the rude stamp of primitive life and proceed on the theory that nothing is too good for the old man.
 Manchester has to face in some what exaggerated form the embarrass- ment which at one time or another nearly every man has to meet who, from ordinary beginnings, has risen to a fashionable estate, or who, having been born well, marries into a family of recent and homely origin. The in- trusion into an atmosphere of exclusion and into traditions of aristocratic dis tinction of relatives, in whose weather beaten countenances and garments of antique pattern are the hallmarks of the honest democracy of the soil, pre- sents contrast which self-pride may find mortifying, but out of which the world is prone to find enjoyment. It is the stamp of the diplomat, as well as of the thoroughbred, to enter into the spirit of the occasion, nor let false pride interfere with the dictates of natural affection and the duties imposed by kindred blood-matters of more value than the languid ease that marks the race of We're de Vere."
 No one ever made a friend or won applause by snubbing his cousin in homespun. The world, which is ready to enjoy the embarrassment of it's jeunesse dore and mock an ill-timed hautiness of spirit, has a way of cheer ing when it sees their fortunate estate has not kept them from a courageous loyalty to their kith and kin. If Man chester wants to be popular in Ohio, here is the chance of a lifetime

T WAS AN IDEAL
 CHRISTMAS DAY Streets Were Lively Butthe Riot iouS Scenes of Monday
 Were Not Repeated

Yesterday was an ideal Christmas day. The weather was mild and the sun shown brightly. The streets were not nearly so crowded as on Monday, but there were enough people in the city to make lively time
 Qdlte a contrast to the scenes of Mon day night, yesterday and last night were unusually quiet and orderly. A few fire crackers were discharged at intervals throughout the evening, but by midnight the streets were almost deserted. The number of drunken men on the streets was remarkably small for the occasion and the best of order was observed during the entire day and night.
 The police department was kept busy, but the arrests were mostly for plain old drunk and disorderly conduct, although there were several cutting scrapes and rows, in which some blood was spilled.
 Mayor Drennen pardoned ninety-flve prisoners Monday night, but before re- leasing them gave the warden instructions to give them their suppers and breakfast if they so desired

WE DO IT RIGHT
 EMPIRE LAUNDRY
The First Woman in Japan.

From St. James Gazette.
 What Japan owes to the strong hand of its Emperor all the wolrd knows; what its women own to the enlightenment and com mon sence of it's Empress is not so well understood. The old Japan thought little of its Expresses. The list of them goes back for half a thousand years before Chist, but, save the King, the present Elm press is the first who has been Empress in more than name. Mutsuhito is the first Emperor of his line-and there have been 120 before him-who has given his wife a seat at his table and allowed her any voice in the national councils. She was married to him when he was seventeen, the year after his coronation, and together they have raised the standard of the Japanese court-as they raised the standard of na- tiopal life to a height it has never reach ed before. In the thirty years since her marriage the Empress Haruko has pre- scented the Emperor with one son and four daughters, and the children all brought ul with Western ideas. The Empress rides well, and makes good use of a gymnasium which has been constructed for her benefit in the palace at Tok1o, and she has satis- fled all the domestic and imperial require ments of her husband so well that Mutsuh- ito has dedicated numberless poems to her
 There was a moment last week which the Empress must have thought would be her last, but 1t turned out happily that the thing which a madman threw into her car riage was a simple toy of wood and not a bomb as everybody feared It would in- deed be Tn irony of fate if the reforming re- gime in Japan were stained by any foul attack on the dynasty which has led the way out of barbaric darkness into civilized light. The Empress, in her own home and at court, has used her influence for the de- velopment of Japan on Western lines not less zealously than her husband. It Is due chiefly to her example that the fashion of stained teeth and shaven eyebrows has died out. The Women's Hospital at Tokio, con- duoted on principles that would find favor in England, owes it's foundation and success largely to her patronage. Empress Haruko has a great admirat ton for the English court, and the Princess of Wales Is said to be her ideal among royalties

DOES SALT MAKE
 THE HEART BEAT
Some Interesting Experiments at
 the University of Chicago
PSYCHOLOGISTS ARE, PLEASED
Claim They Have Established Beyond Doubt That Common Salt in the Blooo cau5es Pulsation
 of the Heart.
ecember 25.-The Record will to-

Chicago, ecember 25.-The Record will to- morrow say:
 Experiments on turtles q1ave convinced Dr. Jaques Loeb and Prof D. J. Lingle, physiologists at the University of-Ch!cago. that common salt in the blood makes the heart beat. What Is more, they claim that not only does salt keep the heart in action, but il possibly may cause the heart to beat again after it has once stopped.
 For several months Dr. Loeb and Pro- lessor Lingle have been experimenting to secure the necessary results to prove their theory. They have conducted a series of del- icate scientific tests bearing upon the pull sation of the heart and today made public the announcement that the results they ob- tained had verified beyond doubt their theory that the presence Of salt in the blood caused the beats of the heart.
 In the experimental work conducted by the two physiologsts turtles were used al- most exclusively. After shipping off tae head in as humane way as possible the lower part of the shell was removed and the heart taken possession of Instead of talk ing the organ as whole a small strip from one of the ventrieles was used. The blood was removed, and piece of flesh suspended in different situations. In this way their conclusions were adduced.
 Dr. Loeb and Prof. I.ingle claim that the fallacy of the early belief that the heart beats because 1t is full of blood was quIck- ly shown when a strip of the turtles healt was suspended in a solution of sodium chloride and regular series of beats be- gan. Separat from all nerve connections the lifeless strip of heart muscle respon1- ed perfectly to the presence of the salty solution.
 For weeks the eXperlmenters worked to ascertain what qualities salt possessed to cause this rhythmic beating of the heart that were not possessed by calcium or po- tassium, the salts of which enter into the composition of the blood. They found d solution of the problem in the fact that the action of sodium chloride was due to the peculiar character of the sodium so- lution. In making the investigation they discovered that pure sodium chloride so- lution was destructive of heart tissues and that by mixing calcium and potassium so- lutions with the sodium solutions they found that the poisonous solution of the sodium chloride were destroyed.
