Chinatown, where he ultimately recov-
cred from his illness and as far as
known is alive today.

WIFE CANNOT TESTIFY
New Trial Not to be Held In Case Of
Rev. c. 3. Mckay

SlDtN FALLS. iowa. Feb. 1S.-The
decision of the state supreme court
yesterday in the case of the state vs..
Rev. &. =. Mckay will have the effect
of giving the minister his liberty.
Mckay, who was Methodist minis
ter at Mapleton. was arrested for as
saulting a minor child. whom he af-
forwards married. The wife was al
lowed to testify against him in the
trial, and the supreme court held that
this was inconsistent with the Iowa
statute that wives cannot testify
against husbands. except concerning
crimes against them.
Since this offense was committed
before the marriage of the prosecuting
witness the supreme court held it
was not a crime against her as his
wife.
While a new trial is allowed it will
not be attempted. as it is impossible
to convict the minister without her
testimony.

THE HANNA CHARACTERISTICS
Short Range Study of the ohi,
 GA0nkAr

Short Range Study of the Ohio
 Senator.
 Washington, Feb. 15.-Egbert Loomis Forsdyk recently paid the following tri- bute to Senator Hanna:
 Some one has not inaptly described Sem ator Marcus Alonzo Hanna as a political ccN1et whose appearance is coIncident with a presidential campaign. The sena- tor is always in the public eye to a large extent, but it Is undoubtedly true that he is chiefly the observed of all observefs' at the time when a nation goes Presi- dent making. Just at present Senator Hanna is more than ever under discussion owing to the fact that in certain quarters he Is being seriously discussed as a pres idential possibility. The senator himself seems to be inclined to ridicule the Idea, but his friends say that his occupancy of the chair of the chief executive would be but the logical outcome of a unique and remarkable career having it's beginning in a humble clerkship in Cleveland grocery store.
 Hard work has been the keynote of Senator Hanna's success in life. Even while a boy in his native town of Lisbon. O., he was noted as a worker-sturdy, earnest. and indefatlgable. When he grew to manhood and found himself behind the counter in Cleveland the habits he had ac- quired as a boy stood him in good stead and it has been said of him that he learn ed the coal and iron business while weighing out sugar and butter. It has also been said that he was one of the first to recognize the economic importance of bringing coal and iron ore together. and with this Tn mind 1t Is easy to understand why he became interested In lake ship ping. Here was perhaps the first strik- ing instance of the business forestght-it might almost be called instinct--which has marked the Senator's whole career as merchant king and which did not tail him when he embarked in politics.
 He comes of a race noted for po.n hard work and foresight-the scotch- Irish. The blend is visible in every me of his face; his square jaw. determined mouth, broad forehead low bridged nose with large nostrils-themselves an mar cation of strength of character--and eyes that light up on the slightest provoca1, ton.
