rIarie AntOiuette's Harp

The harp that once Queen Marie
Antoinette played to admirinS audi
cnces OF courtiers and again to while
away the weary hours when she was =
prisoner Of state in Conciergie, is in
brooklyn. Miss Dagmar Langenberg
a young Swedish woman, in this coun-
Try scarce year, is it's owner.
There is no doubt as to the harp's
authenticity; it has descended to Miss
I.angenberg through long line of an
cestors. To those who might question
her, Miss IangenherG exhibits the Ger

Physicians there say he cannot live.
Kelly was at work on top OF a
thirty-foot trestle, up which big steel
cars, each carrying fifty tons OF coal,
are run from the bargcs. His duty
was to secure the cars before they
were cmDtied into the chute. Kelly
was on a car Fastening tne brakes
when another employee Thomas Hag-
gerty, pulled the lever which releases
the coal from the bottom of the car
Kelly fell with the coal thirty feet
and was in an instant buried under
tons OF it,
Kelly's fatal plunge was seen by
Haggerty, but his cries for help
brought ether employees, headed by
Alderman Holmes, superintendent OF
the yard, to the scene. A long piece
OF gas pipe was showed down through
the coal and fortunately reached the

from suffocation.
Then followed a brave fight against
death. Armed with shovels. the band
OF rescuers delved and dug with frantic
haste TO rescue their comrade.
Occasionally one would shout en-

A Strange Freak Explained

Specialists i" skin diseases and

sembling the crucifxion which are I'M

DR.. Dunno Of Rockford, ILL.,. a spe-

ages of objects near at hand have been
reproduced on the bodies of people
struck by lightning" he said. The
elcctrolytic descriptions Of the inor-
ganic salts in the body into ions, the
units OF electricity, takes place when
lightning strikes.
These ions place the skin, as it
were, into negative plate ready to
take picture when exposed, as is the
case in the exposure of a camera. This
is done when the lightning tears the
clothing off the body.
The electrical current turns the So
dunn chloride in n body to sodium
positive and chlorine negative. The
hydrochloric acid, being disintegratcd
into chlorine and hydrogen. will re-
main so until the body is exposed to
the light when the actinic rays will
cause them to reunite and form by
drochloric acid again. This is what
think has happened in the Morris:

"Parker's skin was made photograph

SENATOR MARCUS A. HANNA

Z
1864 young Hanna married Miss c.
Daniel D. Rhodes, of Cleveland.
The first presidential campaign in
which Mr.. Hanna took an active part
was that Of 1880, when Gen. Garfield
was the republican nominee.
In 1884 Mr.. Hanna was a delegate
at-large from Ohio to the national con-
vention, which ne attended in the in
terest Of John Sherman. Mr.. Sherman
was not nominated. Four years later
Mr.. Hanna attended the republican
national convention as 8. delegate from
the Cleveland district. Again he was
one of the coterie of men who direct
ed the cause of Sherman and again he
shared in Sherman's defeat
In 1892 Mr.. Hanna attended the con-
vention lat Minneapolis, not as dele
gate, but as an interested onlooker.
There he watched Mr.. Mckinley pre-
side over the convention. There no
saw the denomination of President
Harrison, the rejection of Mr.. Blaine.
and again he saw balloting for McKin-
ley, against the latter's protest. Mr..
Hanna recognized the sweep of the
tide toward Mckinley and in favor of
the principle of a protective tariff
Mr.. Hanna thereupon set to work to
crystalline this sentiment for McKin-
ley into practical form. This work
became especially active in the spring
of 1895, when Mr.. Hanna began the
task of securing delegates to the ma
tional convention for Mckinley These
efforts eliminated in success at the
st. Louis convention.
After the election of 1896 Mr.. Hanna
considered that his activity in politics
bad come to an end. 1t is no news
now to say that Mr.. Hanna declined an
invitation to enter the first cabinet of
President Mckinley.
The campaign of 1900 was managed
along the same lines and with similar
results. He expected the republican
party to win and the party looked to
him again to carry it's banner to vic
tory.
Mr.. Hanna was elected United
States senator from Ohio in 1898 after
a most exciting contest in the Ohio
legislature. Several republicans bolt
ed, and Hanna's majority was only
three on joint ballot. He was recently
an overwhelming majority.
Names Mentioned tn Succeed Hanna.
Columbus, o., Feb. 16.-Profound
sorrow is expressed by state officials
and citizens of Columbus over the
death of Senator Hanna. Many touch
ing tributes were paid last night to
his memory by members of the Ohio
general assembly. which only one
month ago reelected him to the United
States senate. The legislature will to-
Gay adjourn for one week as a mark
OF respect. Incidentally this action
will give further time for elaboration
on the matter of electing a successor
to Senator Hanna, which duty falls on
the present general assembly and by
statutory requirement must be per-
formed within two weeks after official
notification of the senator's death
Among the names mentioned in this
connection have been those of Gov.
