4 NEW MOTHER OF PRESIDENTS.

Senator Fairbanks was born in Ohio,
and it is rather noteworthy that only
once since since 1868 has Ohio failed OF
representation on the Presidential
ticket Of the Republican party Grant,
the nominee in 1868 and 1872, was an
Ohioan BY birth, Hayes in 1876, Gar
field in 1880. Harrison in 1888 and 1892,
and Mckinley in 1896 and 1900 The
only exception was Ia 1884, neither
Blaine nor Logan laying'claim to Ohio
as birthplace, but in that year,
Hendricks, Nice-P President on the sue
cessful Democratic ticket, gave Ohio
its usual distinction.

"A crowd Of people rushed toward
the depot. I was standing in the re-
freshment room Of the station when
three japanese shells burst in success
sion about $50 feet away. Many per-
sons were killed and a Sister of Char

1T is no use concealing the fact that
