YIELDS AT LAST
Senator M. A. Hanna Dies of
Typhoid Fever
DEATH NOT UNEXPECTED

WASHINGTON, Feb 16th.-Senator Mar
Gus Alonzo Hanna died at 7.40 O'Clock
last evening at the family apartments in
the Arlington Hotel, after an illness ex-
tending over nearly two months, and
which developed into typhoid fever.
When the end came all the members OF
the Senator's family were in the room ex-
cept Mrs. Hanna who had left the room
only few minutes before.
The last sinking spell began at exactly
$50 o'clock. Drs. Carter and Osler were
then in attendance. They did not con-
ceal the fact that life was about to ebb,
and all members of the family were sent
for. Mrs. Mccormick, one of the Sena-
tors daughters, and Miss. Phelps were
present when this was done. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Hanna were the first to arrive,
and they went to summon the Senator's
wife. 1t was while they were absent that
he breathed his last. In the meantime
Mr.. Mccormick, Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons
and H. NJ. Hanna had entered the room.
No distressing incident attended the
last moments. The sinking spell termi-
mated in ten minutes. Just after his
eyes closed in death Mrs. Hanna was able
to come into the room. She bore up
well under the ordeal, and is showing
calmness and bravery.
For the last two days Senator Hanna
had not been conscious except at
intervals, and then only to obey mechan-
cally some instructions given him by the
physicians. Fourteen hours before the
end was announced life had practically
the fieeting spark being kept
aglow by the most powerful scientific
agents.

HOW MAPS MAKE WAR NEWS PLAIN

To enable its readers to follow intelli-
gently the momentous events of the Jap
anese-Russian war, The North american,
Philadelphia's newspaper, has gone to ex-
treme pain and unlimited expense in pre-
pairing colored map of the territory in
volved in struggle
Owing to the general lack that pre-
walls of exact knowledge of the topogra-
ply of the lands bordering upon the war
centre the situation of the town, harbor,
ports and country which are mentioned
daily in the cable dispatches in The
North american, it is impracticable for the
average person to gain comprehensive
notion of what is progressing in the Far
East. Those who would gladly spend
time in supplementing the tidings that
are read by them in the newspaper by
researches in atlas or gazetteer are often
prevented from doing this by lack of
facilities. 1t is to place within the reach
of such means of watching the movements
of the Russian and the japanese. fleets and
troops step by step as they immerse them
selves in the struggle that has only just
begun that The North American has pre-
pared this map.
To show its utility is necessary only
to think how few there are that realize
the immense expanse Of land and water
that go to make up the geographical
details of the war. How many know
that Russia, planning for decades a war
of conquer which has for its object the
gobbling of Manchuria and territorial
aggressions in other parts of China, has
expended nearly $400, 900, 900 in building
the Trans-Siberian railway from St. Peters
burg to the shores of the Japan and the
Yellow Sea?
How many know that this road, 5000
miles in length, is depended upon by the
Gar to enable him to throw any part
that may be necessary of his 100000
soldiers into Manchuria and China to
crush by any nation that might resist him?
How many realize that in order for the
Gar to bring his Baltic fleet into the
Yellow Sea it will be necessary for the
vessels to sail Is, 900 miles striking Euorpe
Asia and Africa?
How many can tell off-hand the relative
position of Korea, Japan, ,Manchuria China
Port Arthur, Chefoo, Chemulpo or Seoul?
All these points may be settled instantly
by reference to The North Anaericdn's S map.
This map will be given free with each
copy of next Sundays North american.
1t is absolutely the latest map out. 1t
is printed in four colors, and the spelling
of the names is verified by comparison
with the most recent government reports.
No more valuable gift, either from a
standpoint of education or utility, has
ever beed presented by newspaper to its
leaders.
Advance orders for next Sundays paper
llready insure that the demand will be
immense. To render it certain that you
ire provided with copy, your newsman
hould have your order at once.
