HANNA AND THE REPORTER.
The Latter, with Characteristic Di,
plomacy, Carried His Point.

From the saturday Evening Post,
During the recent campaign. when
Senator Mark Hanna made a quiet,
flying trip to New York, one day, IL
newspaper that had been busily at
tacking him sent a reporter to his
hotel. He's here on some errand i'm
portant to the public" said the city
editor. watch him; see whom he
meets, and make him tell what they
talk about; get the whole story"
The reporter went to the hotel. He
found Mr.. Hanna i'm Il quiet corner OF
the lobby and stated his errand. The
senator spoke with angry emphasis.
"Why should / say Il word to your
paper? Il has done nothing but at
tack me, misrepresent me and vilify
me- Why should ! say word to
YOU"
My newspaper" replied the repor-
ter calmly, has a very wide circu-
lation. We want to know all about
this trip so far as it concerns public
interests. Wouldn't you prefer To tell
us yourself rather than have us learn
possibly with unavoidable Incorrect
ness--in some other way?"
The senator's gruffness relaxed
somewhat DUI lie sun spoke Win
curtness. "Ill tell you. I have come
here on private matters only. l have
no errand of public interest or i'm
portance. l am to meet no one here.
Now, l have told you this like "a gen-
tlcman, and l know you will believe
me like "a gentleman. Good-day, sir"
The reporter met this with that di-
pomacy which Is the inspiration OF
the instant. He said: II thank you
FOR your frankness Mr.. Hanna: and,
as you say, / Of course" believe You.
Put, as you say, we have heard Of
your presence here. Others, therefore,
may also hear of II. i know you are
expecting to see no one, but prominent
men-uneXpectedly to Yoursef-may
come here to see you, and on import
ant public matters. Under instruc-
tions from my city editor, therefore,
/ think | shall have to wait and see
| il, unexpectedly to yourself, any such
persons drop in"
The senator's sternness vanished;
| his face frightened with a grin: he
| realized that the reporter would do his
best to treat him fairly, and through
out the rest of the day was cordiality

LIFE SAVERS AT WORK.
An Illustration Taken from the An
nails of Lake Erie.

W d. Hulbu,, in Frank Iesic's Popular
Monthly.
ON the night of The 3lst of October,
1888. the schooner Sophia Minch came
down across Lake Erie. bringing Il
cargo of iron ore from Marquette. IL
was blowing gale, and Just as she
arrived of Cleveland her rudder was
disabled by q heavy sea. Both an
chors were let go, ana she came to
outside the breakwater and hoisted a
signal for assistance. A couple Of
tugs started out TO bring her in. ami,
thinking that there would probably
be trouble, Keeper Goodwin went with
them, taking all but one OF his surf
men. Reaching the schooner, the life
savers managed to board her. at much
risk and with great difficulty, leaving
only Surfman Distel or one of the
tugs 10 assist in handling the ropes.
The towlines We're made fast and the
anchors tripped, but they had hardly
started for the harbor entrance when
the jerking Of the vessel In the rough
and dangerous sea broke both haw-
sers, and before the anchors could
take hold again she had drifted so
far toward land that the tugs could
not reach her. She was leaking, and
the seas We're breaking over her with
such violence that the men could do
little at the pumps for fear of being
washed overboard: and. worst of all,
In a little while she began to drag.
II was a rocky shore toward which
she was drifting, but fortunately the
lake-bottom beneath her was of sand
and the water no deeper than the full
height OF her hull. The captain con-
suited the keeper, and they decided to
scuttle her where she lay. Auger-
holes were bored In the deck, the
water poured In, and she settled till
she lay Just awash, while the men
took to the rigging and waited, for
help.
Meanwhile the tugs had gone back
to the harbor. and Surfman Distel
and the one man who had BEEN left
In the station were hustlipg around

THE SIZE OF TEXAS.
An Interview Which Sheds Some
Light Upon This Subject.

Henry Hail. in the PittsbGrg Times.
81 start for Texas tonight" said e. X. Nc.
Dowell, OF Eagle Pass, to the Times correspond.
ent, 'and when, after travelling 1000 miles,
and going through the states of Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, | reach the Texas line,
shall still be 1000 miles from my home, which
is right on the Mexican frontier.
"very few people realize just how big Texas
is When you know that one can travel two
days and nights and still be in the state you
have an idea, not only Of the magnitude of Texas,
but also OF the size OF its railroad systems"
