tee. 1t was his business to caricature
the enemy. and the enemy was Will
liam jennings Bryan at this time. His
work was sent to republican papers
throughout the country and to 1t Sen
ator Hanna attributes quite a little of
the success Of the republican party in
1900.
Harry Parsons, after the campaign,
was taken care of by Senator Hanna,
who gave him q position in his Offices,
taking him through the country when-
ever the senator moved.
So attached became Senator Hanna
to his young protege that Parsons went
ton to assist in his multitudinous at
fairs. This gave him ample opportuni-
ty to meet Miss Hanna near at hand
and constantly, and to make love to
her, although II is said that one of the
stipulations made by the senator to
Parsons was that he should not in any
way pay attention to his daughters.
1t is discreet to pull veil over the
many little secret meetings in the big
house, the multitudinous notes ex-
changed and the daily bunch of roses
placed on Miss MabePs writing table
under the very nose of the mighty SEN
ator himself.
The elimination of this romance was
reached last week, when Senator Han
ma, after a stormy interview with the
artist, finally decided to give his
daughter in marriage to his poor clerk.

stood In the shadow of the treilis work
OF the porch, watching with intense
eagerness the assemblage. but paying
special attention to Harry A. Parsons.
the leader of the organization. The
young woman was Mabel Hanna.
After Senator Hanna concluded his
speech the boys gave more cheers, and
young Parsons was about to leave sa-
luted the senator with his cane. AS he
did SO Miss Hanna came forward and In
sons with a beautiful red rose. A gal
LIANT on all occasions, Parsons bowed to
Miss Hanna with simple American dig
nifty, then turned and gave his orders
to the marching club.
There were three cheers for Miss
Hanna, and the boys finally tramped
away to the music of a military band.
Parson clutched the rose tightly in his
hand until he reached his home.
Today Harry Parsons guards as a
most sacred treasure the remains of
the rose presented to him that night
in the campaign of 1900.
From that time Parsons was in love
with Miss Hanna. While debating
with himself how he could meet the
young woman again, fate befriended
him. He was ordered to accompany
Senator Hanna on a campaign tour to
sketch him i'm all sorts of characters
tic poses and to send anything inter-
esting in the way of pictures to his pa
per. He was thus thrown into imme-
date contact with the senator, who
had not forgotten either the young
mans graceful speech or his organized

wanted to know how much money he

MANIFEST BEHIND.
Consignees Expected Trouble,
but Matter Was Arranged
and There Was No Delay in
Getting Cargo OF.

When the White star liner Tcu,onic
arrived here this morning considerable
uneasiness was experienced by consiEu-
ees expecting shipments by her over
the fact that the usual manifest had
not been put aboard the ship at Queens
town. according to custom,
BY some mistake the papers failed to
reach the ship n the purser was un-
able TO make out "a complete -scriQ,ion
OF cargo. As n rule the manifest is
complete and ready for filing with the
customs authorities as soon as the ship
reaches her dock In order that the work
OF dlscharg.ng cargo may begin at once.
This is not a necessity, as the agents
have twenty-four hours In whirh 10
make their entry at the Custom-louse,
TIL purser made his entry by giving
Boardpg Officer Walter Styles a mani
fest In bulk. and as soon as the ships
mail reached the company's Office a
force OF clerks was set to work making
up the manifests from the bills OF ladlng
which had been sent as usual.

started ahead In an effort 10 get out OF
the way. At the same moment the
engineer of the passenger train put on
the air brakes.
Wheels Slipped.
In his anxiety to get his machine out
of reach of the rapidly approaching
train the engineer of the o~Lstructing
locomotive pulled the throttle too far
and for a few seconds the wheels spun
around without advancing the locomo-
tive an inch. Just as 1t got into mo-
ton the big locomotive of the passenger
train No. 2,99S crashed into it.
There is no doubt that the Empire
State Express was running at least 81
miles an hour at the time OF the collision.
and that the result was not more serious
Is due to the fact that the construction
locomotive was In motion and to the
heavy construction of the gigantic pas
senger locomotive and the cars of the
train. The construction locomotive kept
the track after the passenger train
struck it.. which was another factor in
producing n fortunate outcome.
The noise OF the collision was heard
all over Irvington. The crowd on the
platform a run out OF harms way,
but those who thought to look over
their shoulders were treated to the
sight of the Empire State Express in
collision. In the excitement Immediately
following the crash there were all
sorts OF wild rumors. but investigation
showed that nobody was seriously in
jured but the b-aggageman. He was
buried under all the trunks in the ear.
The tender of the construction loco
motive was smashed and the coal was
scattered all over the landscape. The
cowcatcher and front Of the boiler Of
No. 2,9yS were crushed and the machinery
was put out Of order. 1t became neces-
sary to get another locomotive for the
passenger train and another man to
serve as baggageman.
