"Corned beef hash la Hanna" the senator's famous breakfast dish, is favorite luncheon dish with many sen ators, says the Washington correspond cnt of the New York World. When Shaw, the head waiter of the senate restaurant, wants it prepared with un- usual care he orders it this way:
 "One corned beef hash for Senator Hanna"
 The restaurant was doing a great business the other day, and everybody seemed to want corned beef hash. Four teen times the order for "corned beef hash for Senator Hanna" was shouted to the chef When the fifteenth order went down, there was rumbling noise In the kitchen, and the chef shouted:
 That's fifteen orders for Senator Hanna. He better watch out or he'll founder hisselfv'
 Senator Hanna sat in his special car one day. delayed at the railway sta ton in Napoleon, O., says the New York Tribune. Some of the townsfolk found out that he was there, and they visited the station. Among the callers were two little girls about twelve years old. They climbed up the car, and one of them asked, "Be you Mir. Hanny?'
 That's what I am, little one.''

 Hanna ordered the porter to bring out one of the Autographs.
 Here is my picture and kiss be- sides" And, suiting the action to the word, he kissed both of the girls square on their mouths and in payment hand ed them each a quarter And it was worth it," he added.
 Five minutes later little girls came marching down the hill toward the sta ton in blocks of five and ten and bat talions. Hanna was panic stricken.
 "The two little girls have spread the news of the kisses and the quarters through the town" said Colonel Her rick, "and they are coming to claim them"

see anything funny in the general sus- pension of work in the factories be- yond the danger zone on the day after the fire started in order that the em- ployees might add themselves to the throng of curiosity seekers besieging the military fire line. No resident of the stricken city could see any incon- ssstency in the hoAisaay attire and gen. eral idieness which characterized that day.
 Only one from distance could have a proper conception of the humorous side of long line of applicants for passes at the ofaee of the police com missioners in the courthouse, in which men who owned property in the burn ed district, boys and girls armed with kodaks and representatives of out of town newspapers were about equally numerous.
 One of the funniest incidents to an outsider is the local pride of Baifi- moreans in the magnitude of their loss, Any suggestion that the loss was not heavier than that in any other fire that ever happened was instantly and ve- hezne1atiy combated. Heated argu- ments among persons who had net the slightest conception of the meaning Of the word million as to whether the loss was S10O, ,Ooe,o 900 or $2o0. .00o, 900 were not infreQuent, and bets of slightly smaller sums were sometimes offered to back up the contentious of the dis putants. ~~3.. v.

BAL LTIMORE'S COURAGE
Phenixlike, She Is Rising From
 Her Ashes.
SIDE LIGHTS ON THE FIRES EFFECT

Spirit of the ClTy's Enterprise Shown by the Announcements of Various Business Firms - Running of e Nevwspaper Plant With Locomo- tives-HumOrous Incidents of the .ConAa8ratlom.
 Baltimore is not downcast over the great fire which began on Sunday, Feb. T. By the next Thursday the atnos- phere of the stricken city was as full of hope and courage as Of smoke and frebrands on the Sunday night before. Even on Wednesday the local newspa- pers contained lists of firms and indi- viduals who had suffered complete losses and had by that time secured new quarters that, in the smallest body type set solid, filled neaEiy two columns of space. The lists were almost as long as the revised lists of sufferers by the ccnlagratien, says the New York Tribune.
 The story oe the enterprise of the Baltimore newspapers in issuing Mon day editions frcm Washington offices has been told A more interesting story is connected with the return to the city of two Of the number and of their resumption of business. The Bal timore News had purchased in Phila- delphia new printing plant complete before the fire was under coatrol, and by this time the machinery has been installed in an old foundry at Holiday and Center streets. Two locomotives were leased from the Pennsylvania railroad to furnish steam power, and the News and the Baltimore American will share the plant until the latter pa per has rebuilt it's building and in- stalled its own plant, which in turn will be shared by the News while it is engaged in erecting a new building. This probably is the first instance on record of running a newspaper plant with locomotives.
 On a recent morning three stanza poem by s. W. Gillian, entitled "The Song of the American" was printed on the title page of the newspaper of that name. The closing lines, which well illustrate the spirit of the city in the first hours of it's recovery from the shock of the disaster, are as followss
 Though cast down, I'm not forsaksn;
 Though afflicted not alone"
 See the future bring me glory
 Greater than the past has knowng For the heaven of mems approval
 Helped me live through seething he'll.
 And, like phenix, am rising
 From the ashes where fell.
 Baltimoreans saw little humor in the situation. 1t took a rank outsider to appreciate the fact that there were numerous pha-ss in the conduct of af- fairs. Noboa9 else. for instances =cQuld

10 ms mother, says the IlttSDurg DlS- patch. Before going to Washington to assist in the first inauguration of his friend, William Mckinley, he started in search of his mother in Cleveland to bid her goodby. Not finding her home, he went directly to the Second Presby- terian church, where a sewing circle was being held. She was there.
 II knew just where to look for you, mother" he said as he greeted her. Mother and son chatted a few minutes.
 Have you decided to go to North Carolina to rest for the winter?' he asked
 "I am thinking of 1t, Marcus" she replied.
 ''WeN, then, mother" he rejoined, ''stop thinking about it and go. It will do you good. Goodby.''
 As the Republican national chairman strode away a bright eyed woman present at the church remarked that he looked for all the world like boy school for the first time.
 All Portage county, O., admires Sen ator Hanna for what he once said to a street car conductor while in that coun- ty. It was on the trip from Ravenna to Kent. The car was a special one, ordered by the committee, and there were no women aboard. Everybody started to smoke, says the St. Louis World.
 The conductor, apparently seeking notoriety, picked out the senator and. tapping hin, on the shoulder. said:
 You can't smoke in here.''
 Isn't this a special carp queried the senator.
 Yes, sir" answered the conductor.
 And it's paid for, isn't it?'' contin- ued MT. Hanna
 Il suppose so," was the reply
 "Then," said the senator, "f guess we'll smoke"
 The conductor hastily retired.
 A western politician is authority for the following story about Mark Hanna, who once gave a banquet in Ohio to fifty farmers, says the New York Mail and Express: The dessert was to be twenty-five luscious Georgia watermel- ons. The day before the dinner MT. Hanna had the melons plugged and poured a pint of champagne into each melon and then placed them on ice. After the dinner each farmer got half a melon. They began tasting them, winked at each other, looked wise, and before the affair was over every farm CT was slipping the seeds into his vest pocket.
 Mrs. J. M. Mccormick, who was Miss Ruth Hanna before her marriage, told with good effect a number of sto- rtes about her distinguished father, says the Detroit News-Tribune.
 According to one of these stories, an Irishman some years ago entered MT. Hanna's office, took off his hat politely and said:

AN EDITOR WAS The SPOKESMAN
The Governor Told the. Party That if
They and Their Friends Endorsed
Dynamiters, Anarchists and Muir
derers, They Were no Better.

Chicago, June 30.-After his work
as a delegate to the republican ma
| tional convention, Governor James H.
Peabody of Colorado, was threatened
by three men who forced their way
into his room at the Auditorium An
mex.
The spokesman of the party, who
claimed to be the publisher of a
labor union paper in Chicago, read
resolutions adopted by the meeting of
the business agents of the Building
Trades Councils, which denounced
Governor Peabody for his official acts
in his state.
After the intruders had presented
their resolutions, at the same Time
advising Governor Peabody to get out
of Chicago, the governor of Colorado
had something to say.
81 suppose you would like to see
me driven out of Chicago, but let
me tell you that 1 shall stay here as
long as l have business here" he
said. These resolutions are a pack
of malicious lies. At no time since
my incumbency as chief executive of
the state of Colorado, have l ever OPP
posed a labor union. But 1 will say
that among the union men in Colo
RADIO there are, and have been, num-
Der of dynamiters, anarchists and
murderers. If you men and your
friends countenance and endorse such
methods as those that have wiped out
districts of Colorado. then 1 must say
