LAST HONOR FOR MARK HANNA

With p mp and pageantry the final
honor will be paid Marcus A. Hanna
tomorrow when his body will be laid |
% rest in the cemetery at Cleveland,
Ohio, where that of the lamen'ed Gar
fed raposes The funeral cortege
will leave Washington this afternoon,
after the body has laid in state in the
national capitol for brief period and
viewed by thousands there.
The death of Mr. Hanna is generally
deplored, in the South as in the North,
for ell recognized in him a man of
genius; strong in his convictions, able
and conservative and. above all, a man
of utmost loyalty to his friends.
In recent years, here in the South,
popular feeling towards Senator Hanna
had softened to degree and, though
Republican, he was regarded as
broad mi uded American. He was a
politician rather than a salesman and
by his service as party leader aud IN
the senate, whieh has not been specta-
cular, Mr.. Hanna won in his own right
the power and influence which first
eame to hin as the friend and adviser
of the president.
de aspirsd to be known to fame al
something more than a presIden
maker, but his name is not connected
with any particular act of s atesman
ship and he will go down into history
not as a great senator but as grea
politician. For his equal as an organ
izer and manager of men has neve
besn seen in patienal politics.
And, it must be said, under his ad
mirable leadership and complete dom
ination, his party organization ha
been brought to the perfection OF
political machine, strong and effective
Since Reosevelt's ascension to powe
much of the party management ha
been entrusted to, or has been fore:
bly, taken ever by, President Roose
velt ana his chosen cotsrie. It re
mains to be seen in this years cam
paign whether Mr.. Roosevelt ga
maintain the splendid organizatio
Hanna built up and whether he ca
: get from it for himself such results q
Hanna did for Mr.. Mckinley,
In the death of Mr.. Hanna a way
op ned for other rivals of Rooseve
for the nomination, but it is yet to
early to predict the effect upon th
lattel's political fortunes. 1t may b
said in all truth, however, that 4
other American has ever profted
such an extent by war, disaster an
death than has Roosevelt thus far, an
his star is still in the aseendency.
IEWith Mr.. Hannas great restrainin
power gone, it remains to be zee
what "His Str9nuousness" viii d
now.

THE CASE OF HUZzA.

The story of the HnzZa policy
is told, not because it's case of
rare occurance-The Mutual Bene
fit Life Insurance Co, having set
tied hundreds of similar cases,
but because it is typical of the
treatment of members by this
company during its entire history
of 5S years-a record unmatched
by any other company.
Policy No. 4Oo4O was issued to
Robert II. Huzza on August 18th,
1S66-Amount $50O-Ten Pay
ment Life plan.
After paying only 1wO annual
premiums, Mr.. Huzza allowed his
policy to lapse. Nevertheless, the
Company continued to insure his
life for two-tenths of the face
value of the policy, or $1OO, with
out further notice on the part of
Mr.. HuZZa.
In 1873 the Company lost trace
of Mr.. Huzza.
On October 10th, 1898, Mr..
Huzza died.
On December 10th 1902, his
policy, including dividends that
had accrued from 1873 to 1902
and a post-mortem dividend, ag-
gregating $126.O3, was paid,
The Mutual Benefit Life CT New.

accident and for slight injuries and all
ments. A good liniment and one that is
fast becoming favorite if not a house

Balm. By applying it promptly to cut,
bruise or burn it allays the pain and
causes the injury to heal in about one
third the time usually required, and as it
is an antiseptic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain Balm is
kept at hand sprain may be treated be-
fore inflammation sets in, which insures
a quick recovery. For sale by Eli T.

plenty of money to invest, to back them
in the stating of similar places.
