SENATOR SCOTT WEEPS
FOR HIS DEAD FRIEND

one or the pathetic incidents in the
rooms adjacent TO that in which IN
body OF Senator Hanna lay. early this
morning, was the complete collanse 90
senator Nathan Il. Scott OF West Vir-
sinia. Probably Of all his colleagues in
the senate, none was closer to the Ohio
statesman that the West Vireiniar
lhey mad been together in many of tho
hottest national campaigns, and I'm
legislation Mr.. Scott has been q sbadoI,.
of Mr.. Hanna
Since the condition OF Senator Hanna
became serious Senator Scott has been
haunting the anterooms. He began TO
show signs OF illness himself. Early this
morning the Senator sat quietly in a
corner Of Secretary Elmer Dover's office
Tears were rolling down his cheeks An
could see him using every bit OF will he
possessed TO hold himself together.
Senator" asked some one. would
you like 70 say something eulogizing
Senator Hanna?"
This was the straw. Senator Scott
gave his feelings sway.
oh, my Cod he cried. excitedlv
Don't you know that the heartstrings
OF lifetime have been torn away
With this he gave way 20 tears. ana
throwing himself face downward on a
lounge he wept bitterly. Friends took
him home. He had not left his bed nm
TO II O'Clock.

and said the only way she could get out
of the difficulty was to get married.
Bowdish jokingly. remarked that he
would have to find her husband
Bowdish thought nothing more of the
matter until Thursday afternoon, when
he, Allen and several other statesmen,
met at Cortland. In the afternoon mail
came letter for Bowdish from Mrs.
Birmingham. In it the widow reminded
the agent of the romise to find her
a husband. While the agents joked,
Allen took the matter seriously, and
SAID he thought i. was the chance for
which he was looking.
Bowdish volunteered to take Allen
to Preble. Mrs. Birmingham welcomed
the party and wasted no time in get
ting to the point. She made Allen give
the history of his life, and learned that
he was widower of Al, with daugh-
ter living in Chicago. Mrs Burling-
ham soon was satisfied Allen was the
man for whom she had been waiting
and proposed that they be married at
once. Justice Daley was aroused from
his slumbers and the ceremony was
performed. 1891. :.
