when DR.. Hanna himself was said to
have such a burning desire for office"
that he had money to burn which he
did burn in order TO get IL, and, ac-
cording to current reports. there is
such a burning desire at present on the
part Of DIR. Hanna and his friends to
hold on to office that they are feeding
the political furnaces with all the
greenbacks and other highly cOmbusti-
BILE fuel they can lay their hands on.
II Mr.. Bryan were to continue the pol
icy Of DR.. Hanna's friend Mckinley,
he would not have TO create any new
places to make good campaign prom
ises. Mr.. Mckinley has already GRE
ated' several" and they are "all
kinds Of POSITIONS" so that it would
be easy TO satisfy all varieties Of taste.
But one of the very best things that
Or. Hanna said of Mr.. Bryan was con-
tanned In the concluding paragraph of
his interview:
In regard to Bryan's and Croker's
claims that there Is no opportunity for
the young men of the country, that is
too utterly ridiculous to discuss seri-
Ously. Bryan is not very old. yet he
seems TO he pretty successful notwith-
standing the fact that he is an office
seeker and has no visible means OF
support. He seems to lie able to get
enough to live on very comfortably"
To sneer at man because he is poor
and liken him to Il tramp because he
makes Il modest living by the honest
exercise Of his intellect instead of by
rorralling factories and Industrial es-
tabIishments and making other people
work for him will appeal with great
force to American sympathies. In the
100000 ballots or so cast for him four
years ago Mr.. Bryan had very tangible
ana visible means OF support, and the
wildneSs of DIR. Hanna's recent utter
ances suggests a fear on his part that
these visible means Of support will be
largely increased at the approaching
rlection.-BaltimOre Sun.

Leighton and the Poor student.

OF Leighton's hearty, eager helpful
ness many instances might be given.
Here is one. After n certain prize day
at the academy Il student was passing
through the first room on his way to
the entrance. He looked the picture Of
detection and disappointed wretched-
ness-poOrly and shabbily dressed and
Sinking away as If he wished to pass
out of the place unnOticed. Millais and
Leighton, walking arm In arm, came
along. pictures of prosperity.
leighton caught sight Of the poor.
downcast student. Leaving Millais. he
darted across the vestibule to him and.
taking the students arm. drew him
back into the first room and made him
sit down on the ottoman beside him.
Putting his arm on the top of the otto
man and resting his head on his hand,
Leighton began to talk rs he alone
could talk, pouring forth volumes of
earnest. rapid utterances. as il every
thing in the world depended on his
words conveying what lie wanted them
to convey. He went on and on. The
shabby figure gradually seemed to pull
itself together, and at last when they
both rose he seemed 10 have become
another creature. Leighton shook
hands with him. and the youth went
on his way rejoicing.
1t is certain that If other help than
advice were needed II was given But
II was the extraordinary Zest and vital
ity which Leighton put into his help
which made ii unlike any other. He
fought every ones cause as Others
fight their own--LOndOn Telegraph

CLIMATIC INFLUENCE.
Medical Board Says Cause of the Re-
cent Epidemic Among Marines
Was Due to Sudden Change
of Weather


Climatic influence, according to the
finding of n board which investigated
on Monday afternoon the cause of the
recent epidemic in the navy yard bar
racks. was responsible for the illness
OF the so odd marines VINO were Ill at
the Hawai- Hospital with intestinal ca
tarrh The board was composed of
Capt. Watson. u. S. N: Medical In
spector Ferebee, Post Assistant Sur
9eon Shipp and Lieutenant Babb. Of
the Marine Corps. II had exception
able facilities for investigation and of
arriving at an explanation of the
causes of epidemic The result of
the boards investigation is contained
IN report which has not yet been
made public, but is understood on good
authority to attribute the whole cause
of trouble to the influence of climate
on newly drafted men.
According to the data presented 20
the board IS $40 of the command were
sick: DC per cent. of the sick had joined
the corps since January: 80 per cent.
of them had been members Of the
corps only since March. April or May:
only 20 per cent. of those who had
been in the service before January
were sick. None of the non commits
stoned officers or musicians, who have
resided here for some time were af-
fcc,cd. though they dincd ut the same
tables and slept in the rooms where
tine sick marines were.
In questioning the sick mon the doc
tors found that tho marines had eaten
heartily att supper on the night the
sickness manifested Itself and had
slert through the night without cover
on them. as it WAS Il warm night. Be
fore morning there was IL sudden
change Of temperature. and the ma
rines were thoroughly chilled. This IS
thought to have caused tho intestinal
catar1'h which the post norton re-
vealed in the case Of young Jackaway
and which in n mildcr degree undoubt-
cdly affected the others OF the COM
mard. 1t was found that the men
who did not sleep in draught We're
