know from a burglar friend of mine
who broke into the suffering billion
aires house one night and saw him
at work, that the old gentleman IS
positively haggard looking over the
map for new towns to give libraries
to, and on this special occasion was
heard to say to his secretary that the
only thing left to do if the library
plan was to go on, was to found a
lot of new towns to put 'em in. Out
side of the Philippine Islands, he said,
there isn't an available site left in
this vast empire"

That's Monte Cristos field" said
the Idiot. 80 he's barred. These peo-
pie have mapped out their special out
let's and as a mere matter of COM
mon politeness they're not going to
infringe on each others territory.
There's honor among billionaires. Mr..
Poet, and the etiquette of the situa-
ton is strictly observed. Monte Cristo
has his universities. Croesus his hos
pitfalls, Russell Green his extravaganza
in dress, the Lord of Skihibo his IL
braries and Midas his big poker games,
and not one would venture into the
field of the other"
Then what would you suggest"
demanded Mr.. Brief
The incorporation of the National
Skihibo Institute for the Distribution
of Cash." said the Idiot. LET the
sufferer transfer all his property to
this incorporated institution leaving
himself penniless, and giving the In
stitute free hand in the systematic
blowing in of the whole business.
But what would he live on?" asked
the Poet.
1.-THE Institute could make him It's
honorary president on a salary of ten
dollars a week." said the Idiot. THAT

When Mr.. Shafroth, member of
Congress from first district of Color
ado, gave up his seat Monday to the
contestant Mr.. Bonyuge, it created
quite sensation among the mem
bers of the House. There is only
one similar incident on record. Sec
rotary James Wilson of the Agri-
cultural Department, in 1885 relin-
pushed a seat in the House to con-
testant in order that the bill to make
General Grant full general on the
retired list might be passed, report
had been made from the committee,
and the case was pending on the
last day of Congress. A bill was
brought in for General Grant, but
the democrats who were in the
insisted that a vote should
be taken on the contest against Mr..
Wilson. Some opposed such vote
being taken, but Mr.. Wilson got up
and stated he did not want to stand
IN the way of the Grant bill, and
asked that his contestant be seated.
This was done about two hours be.
fore congress adjourned for the ses-
sion. The Grant bill was passed.
While Mr.. Wilson's act was vOlun-
AIRY, it was for another reason, and
lot because he felt that his election
vas illegal, as was the case with Mr..
ShafrOth.

SENATOR MARCUS A. HANNA.

Sen "A lux a.
Marcus Hanna, United States
Senator from Ohio, chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
and the most prominent figure of
his day in American politics, died
in his apartments at the Arlington
Hotel in Washington City Monday
evening. Senator Hanna began life
as clerk in his fathers grocery
store in small town in Ohio. But
in time he came to own iron and
coal mines, steamship lines, railroads
etc. He was the p esident and
chief owner of street railway sys-
TEN, the president and chief owner
of bank and was interested in
many other industrial enterprises.
His first political office was MEM
bership on the Cleveland (Ohio)
board of education, to which office
he was ele cted in 1870. Mr.. Hanna
was first known in national politics
when in 1896 he Undertook to
manage the campaign of his friend
Mr.. Mckinley to secure his nomina-
ton as the Republican candidate for
president. His untiring energy
secured for MIR. Mckinley the nomi-
nation at the National convention.
He was offered place in the Cabi-
net by the president, which he de-
clined to accept. Senator Sherman
accepted the place in the Cabinet
and on March 9Th 1897 Mr.. Hanna
was appointed by Gov. Bushnell, of
Ohio, to succeed Sherman in the
Senate, which high Office he held
up to his death. He was reelected
to the Senate last fall by the largest
majority ever given a Senator in
any state. He was a great friend |
OF the laboring man and also had |
the confidence of the business world. |
AT one time he was the worst abus
ed man in America but before his
death he had won the confidence
and respect Of all who knew him.
To use the language of the Wash
tngtOn POst-"He had a heart of
gold, a loyalty that scared into
poetic heights, and simplicity al
most pathetic in its naked inno-
cence."

CLARK WE'D HIS WARD.
Mss La Chapelle Wife of Montana
Senator Three Years.

The announcement yesterday that Senator Clark.
of Montana, who spends most of his time In this
city and Washington, had been married for three
years to his ward. Miss Anna e La Chapeue came
as a considerable surprise to his friends here and
In the West. although they had expected that
eventually the Senator would marry the young
girl he had taken under his protection. Mrs Clark
is now IN Paris. She was married to the Montana
mining Marsehles. In May, 1901 and they
have daughter. two years old.
Senator Clarks daughters. Mrs. Lewis Rutherford
Morris and Mrs. Culver. knew nothing about the
marriage until their father told them on his re-
turn from Europe just before he left town for ST
Louis. Why the announcement had not been made
Immediately was mystery to them.
Senator Clark met Miss La Chapelle about nine
years in mining town In Montana There
was holiday celebration. and he was struck by the
girls beauty. She was the daughter of French
Canadian physician. Later in Chicago the father
died. and Senator Clark befriended the girl and her
mother finally sending Miss La Chapelle who had
fine voice. to Paris Tor instruction.
