land, where services will be held
either at the home of the senator or
of his son, Dan Hanna, Friday after
noon. 1t is likely that Bishop Leon
ard of the Northern diocese of Ohio OF

services.
Marcus A. Hanna was born in Lis
bon, O., Sept. "a, 1887.
Friends Receive Sad News.
Compared with the members which
| had been about the hotel during the
| day, there were few persons present
when the announcement of death was
made. Telephone calls and messengers
| were sent out, however, and the lobby
and corridors filled rapidly. Senators
| and representatives visited the hotel
| throughout the evening and many of
. the senator's friends were admitted to
| the chamber. Postmaster General
Payne sent word to President Roose-
| welt and he expressed deep sorrow.
The last Ineligible words spoken
| by Senator Hanna were an attempt to
| maintain to the last the humor which
| was characteristic of his life Sunday
| morning he moved his head slightly
and his eyes rolled little to the right
and then to the left. The nurse in
close attendance anticipated his want
| and bending to the patients ear asked
| if he was looking for his handker-
| chief.
81 think my wife has my handlIer-
chief" the senator whispered.
Members of the family, eager for
any sign of consciousness or recogni-
ton which the senator might display,
| were told of the remark and they at
| once recognized it as one of his favo-
rite rejoinders in good natured plagu-
| ing in which Mr. and Mrs. Hanna
often INDUCED. 1t was the senator's
custom when he missed any personal
article, especially his handkerchief,
| to say: 81 expect my wife has it.
Talked IrrationaIy Since Sunday.
At about II o'clock Sunday the sen
ator became unconscious and thereaf-
ter, though the physicians and mem
bers of the family strained every nerve
to detect a return of recognition, the
senator did not speak a word that
could be understood, neither did he
appear to know what was going on
about him. Occasionally he mumbled
a few sounds, but nothing could be
made of them and his little pleasantly
was the last words spoken.
When it was known there was no
chance for recovery. arrangements
were made to have a death mask
taken and that was done last evening.
The cast will be perfect and will show
the face in it's usual fullness. The
senator's face shows little emaciation
and, owing to the constant use OF
oxygen, had taken on what appeared
to be coat of tan, which give it al.
most a life-like appearance.
President Roosevelt called at the
Arlington at night personally to ex-
press his condolences to the members
Of Senator Hanna's family. He saw
Mrs Hanna, H. M. Hanna, the sena-
tors brother, and Dan r. Hanna, his
son, and remained with them for some
time.
Some consideration has been given
by the president and several members
Of the cabinet to the question of &C
companying the funeral party to the
place of burial of the senator's body
in Ohio. The president would like to
go very much and may do so.

From the London Telegraph.
Are you aware that in one ton of coal
there is as much energy, as much actual
work, as may be done by 10000 good labor
ers in ten-hour day? Our best steam
engines utilize only one-tenth of this en-
ergy at the present time, but even now the
cost of the most unskilled work done by
man is 1000 times the cost of the same
work done by the best steam engines. -
These words are from a remarkable address
by Prof. John Perry, F. R. S., delivered at
Oxford, and arranged jointly by the Ash
mclean Natural History Society and the
Oxford Mathematical Society. We suspect
that such an address was never before
given in Oxford. It's from first to last
based on the idea that the old university is
unscientific and opposed to science. ut is
almost incomprehensible," said the speaker,
that university aiming at breadth of Gull

England in her high position. give value to

still enormous; it rests with the young Ok
ford men of the present day to decide
whether this influence may or may not be-

MILLIONAIRE AND HIS BANK.
Requidtion Of a Very Wealthy De
positor Not Honored.
From the New York Eyening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
A well-known millionaire hastily entered
a few days ago the bank where he carried
a large deposit. He had left his pocket
book home and wanted cash. The bank
was sorry, but could not accommodate him.
1t was past ociock, the vaults were closed
and the executive staff had gone home
The subordinate officers held a quick
council, and one of them thus described the
result:
1--WE piled up every cent we had in our
clothes, then We went through the clerks
and had every man in the establishment
turn his pockets inside out. The customer
was many times a millionaire, and could
secure from us any day whatever sum he
needed But the time locks were set, and
the best we could do was fifty dollars in
cash. He stuffed the roll in his pocket and
hurriedly went on his way. We did not
even ask for a memorandum, knowing that
he detested details. and that subsequent
word with his secretary was all that would
be needed to reimburse the bank"
The incident may be taken as illustrating,
first, the limit which is drawn in the con-
troll of banks by great fnancers, of which
so much has been lately heard second,
the advisability of presenting checks before
3 pm, and. third, the absorbing power of
great wealth and credit over the surplus
cash of small capitalists.

The moisture in her eyes was not all

ROMANCE0F THEPLAINS
ORDERED TO GET MARRIED Or
LOSE HIS JOB.
How Young School Teacher Secured
Wife and an Additional In
come Per Month.

From the plains of North Dakota comes
a good story, which is the sequel of an
order from the Indian department here in
Washington. 1t depicts the strategic meth
DDS adopted by young man named j. L.
Hazard, a school teacher, to hold his job,
even if it involved some difficulties in meet
ing the requirements of an order of the de-
partment.
The educational division of the Indian de-
partment some time ago instituted num-
Der of day schools on the indian reserva-
lions of the west. In the list of agencies
where these day schools were established is
Standing Rock agency, in North Dakota.
In the establishment of these day schools
the department found that it would be
necessary and best conserve the interests
of all concerned to employ as teachers mar
ried men, so that the wife might keep house,
furnish meals for the Indian pupils and
give them that supervision that only wo-
man can do.
1t was found that Mr.. j. L. Hazard while
having a record for good work as teacher,
was a single man, and, while the Indian
department did not wish to dispense with
his services altogether as a teacher, 1t would
be necessary to supplant him at Standing
Rock, with married man to meet the de-
mands of the day school. which required a
matron as well teacher.
VISfs Oh poO ISI IAoltA " VILE.
In this connection it may not be amiss to
state that the Indian department proposed
to pay the wife of the teacher $40 month
for the services as matron at the school.
Therefore, it was plain to Mr.. Hazard
when he received an official communication
from Washington containing the hereinbe-
fore mentioned information. that he must
either get married or be transferred from
what was a very agreeble position.
At this juncture western newspaper
printed the story and dilated upon the great
opportunity for some young woman to come
to Mr.. Hazards relief and thereby secure
a husband and $50 per month salary III
the bargain. The story was circulated in
the western prints and was interpolated In
time with some dashing and picturesque de.
scriptions of life on the plains, heroism and
elf-sacrifice.
Before many days elapsed after the cor
responlence with the Indian department be
gun Mr.. Hazard began to receive letters
from young women and old women. In
deed, the missives came from many, botf
maids and widows The letters had beer
inspired by the publication that he needed q
wife right away to hold his Job, and thai
Uncle Sam was willing to supplement Mr.
Hazards Inducements by compensation
OF $50 per month.

with the Indian department the situa-
ton at Standing Rock, and declared that
If he were given a few days he would be
able to meet the exigency of the case.
In the meantime letters were pouring in
by every mail from young and old women
ness to marry him and live a life practically
of exile on an Indian reservation. The
situation was unique, the necessity for ac-
tion urgent and Mr.. Hazard was equal to
1t all. He lost no time That school over
which he presided needed a matron more
than he needed wife, but he was loyal TO
the interests of Uncle Sam. In the lber-
ality of his soul and true to the demands
of his profession he decided to wed.
Mails Brought Many Inquiries.
Thanks to the conveniences and expedi-
ton of Uncle Sans mails, which now reach
to every Indian agency, however remote.
the correspondence soon ripened into mu-
tual understanding with one of the fair cor
respondents.
why says Hazard, writing to one of
the newspapers that printed the story, i've
been trying to get the right girl for about
ten years, and here, thanks to the journals
| that printed the story, / am going to get
her in ten days"
This declaration was made to represen-
tatiye of the Minneapolis Journal last week,
when Mr.. Hazard was passing through the
| city on his way to Chicago to eliminate the
| interesting finale of his courtship by mail
His free advertising had brought him a
suitable companion, and he was losing no
| time to get to Chicago to appropriate to
himself wife and an additional income of
| $50 per month.
Verify there is nothing like printing ink
and a tractable candidate to keep Uncle
| Sam out of any matrimonial difficulty.

wElNsEIMER RESIGNS.
Leader of New York Building Trades
 Alliance Quits.

New York, August 29.-Philip Vein seimer, president of the Building Trades Alliance, a union organization, who has twice been indicted for extortion. today resigned his leadership, and William H. Nelson, president of the Reliance Labor club of marblecutters, was elected his usc- cessor.
 Nelson has been for a long time an active factor in the alliance, but he is re- garded as one of the more conservative elements. Twice recently he and John Me- Alister have headed committees which have gone to the Employers association in the hope of negotiating a settlement of the building lockout now in force here.
 Each time they failed because they in- sisted on a technical recognition of the alliance, a point the employers associa- tion has always refused to concede
 As the cumulative evidence against Weinseimer was made public, opposition to him in the ranks of the union became more pronounced, though after his first indictment the delegates gave him unanimous vote of confidence. Even in his own organization, the journeymen plum bers and gasfitters' union, where he has enjoyed the powers almost of a dictator, dissatisfaction has grown well night into open revolt.

 Athletes from many nations met the pick of American sprinters, jumpers, distance and weight men in the first six events of the card that will furnish entertainment to lovers of sport for the coming week There were also four handicap events that resulted in more even competition and gave several close finishes. Although the earlier part of the day was threatening. when the games commenced there was nothing to be de- sired from a weather standpoint.
 The steeplechase was a novelty in this part of the country, and awakened great enthusiasm among the spectators espe- cially when the contestants negotiated the ten-foot water jump. Several of the tired runners failed to clear and each splash was greeted by prolonged cheer ing.
