That statement was Immediately fol-

was:

the afternoon and died quietly at 6;4p

reaVement
MRS. HANNA BEARS UP
UNDER GREAT ORDEAL
Senator's Last InteIIigible Words Were
Pathetic Attempt to Maintain HUI
NOR, Which Was Charac-
terstic of His Life.

Washington, February Ex-senator
Marcus Alonzo Hanna died at $40
O'Clock this evening at the family
apartment in the Arlington hotel after
an illness extending over nearly two
months, filled with apparent recover
les, followed by relapses, and finally
drifting irto typhoid fever, which he,
in his weakened condition, was unable
to withstand. When the end came all
the members of the senator's family
were in the room except Mrs. Hanna,
the senator's wife, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Hanna. Mrs. Hanna had left the
room only few minutes.
The last sinking spell began exactly
at 6:30 o'clock. Drs. Carter and Osler
were then in attendance They did not
conceal the fact that life was about to
end, and all members of the family
were sent for Mrs. Mccormick, one
of the senator's daughters, and Miss
Phelps were present when the end
came. Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Hanna were
the first to arrive. and they withdrew
Immediately to the chamber of the SEN
ator's wife to summon her to the bed
side. 1t was while they were absent
that the, senator breathed y last
NO DISTRESSING INCIDENTS
ATTENDED, THE LAST MOMENTS
In the meantime Mr.. Mccormick, Mr..
and Mrs. Pursons and II. M. Hanna had
entered the room. Mr. Dover stood in
the door, There were no distressing Incl
dents attending the last moments. 1t was
sinking spell which terminated 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
tonight she is showing calmness and
bravery.
The courage which had been displayed
by Mrs. Hanna was the subject of the
greatest surprise. She had been in al
most constant attendance on her hus-
band though realizing fully there was
no hope for recovery Nevertheless, the
remonstrances of the physicians and the
added implorings of her children that
she take some rest was unavailing until
late in the afternoon, when she was at
tackled by violent headache. She WAS
given a narcotic and then she retired to
her chamber and requested that a call be
sent as soon as there appeared to be any
change for the worse

They had remained at the hotel the en-

but that proved no guard against the
tears which sprang unbidden to their eyes
and ran down their cheeks. General Dick
showed his sorrow. His associations with
Senator Hanna were born in politics, but

bureau today issued a report on the av-
erage weight of cotton bale for the
crop grown in 1903, showing an average
gross weight of SOP l-lO pounds against
5O2 pounds in 1902. This figure is obtained
by actual weighing Of 755S2n bales; 1920

The average weight of Commercial Dales
as pressed at ginneres was 1881 in 1903,
479S in 1902; average weight of square

round bales 247S in 1908 and 255.5 in 1902;
sea island bales 37s.5 in 1903 and ss5.1 in

uary 16 last was equivalent to 9,525996
bales Of 5o0-pound standard. The aver

nation of the illness.
The last inteligible words spoke by
the senator were pathetic in his attempt
to maintain to the last the humor which
was characteristic of his life. Yesterday
morning he moved his head slightly and
his eyes rolled a little to the right and
then to [he left. The nurse in close at

President Donnelley of the Butchers Union Reiterates His Purpose to Tie Up the COuntry'h Meat
 Industry.

Chicago, September 1.-The return to work of the three thousand i've hun dred strikers in New York City will have no material effect on the general situation in the stock yards strike. ao- cording to President Donnelley, of the Butchers Union.
 In an address this afternoon before an audience of five thousand strikers and their friends. MT. Donnelley declar- ed that the desertion of the New York members makes no change in his plans to tie up tho meat industry of the country this week.
 'srhe action of the New York strikers who are said to have voted to desert us," said MT. Donnelley, was not en- tireIy unlocked for. Their grievances were not as great as ours, as they quit work merely in sympathy with the strike members of the Butchers Union. Before next Saturday night, expect there will be fully fifty thousand more workmen involved In the struggle and the product of the New York plants will not break the tie up planned for this week. It has been predicted by many that the strike would be called off before today. but we are still in the strugglt and will remain. It would not be fair to us if called the strike on. You empowered me to start 1t and you will have to instruct me by general vote to end 1t. Let no one be discouf- aged if the fight seems to drag along. We will be all the stronger and will secure a better settlement if we stay out for seven or eight weeks longer"
 C. E. Schmidt. Viee-President of the Meat Cutters Union in California also addressed the strikers. He, like Mir. DonneIley, declared victory would fol- low If the strikers would remain out about two months longer.

The popularity of "A woman's Hardy Garden" Is as perennial as the plants which Mrs. Helena Rutherford Ely handles with so much care and skill. In some suburban towns near New York every house is said to cher ish a copy of Mrs. Ely's book. by which the dwellers therein build their gardens. Its attractive illustrations are taken from the authors garden at Meadowburn.
