THE PASSING Or

Senator Marcus A - Hanna, who Died Monday
Afternoon of Typhoid-pneumonia. One
of the Greatest Men of his Times.
A great force has ceased to

Marc u a Alouzo Hanna the na

that traditional prejudices and
cherished habits born of teur
and negative fast athwart the
nUional pathway.
The voice of clarrio eulogy is
inapt 1 and ; sounds discordant
with his life work and the ideals
to which he pushed with as
tounding energy - and tireless
industry. How tame in thuii
roll of sinuous sentences,
would appear the college taught
eulogies, after . the models of
Cicero or Periclese, applied to
Hanna. Imperial Rome and
Oligarchial' Greece ; bestowed
their choicest garlands upon
the .graves ol those who ' had
won honors by lives spent in

When the sitting or drawing room In

to arrange the furniture In cozy little
groups. Where there Is a fireplace a
delightful effect Is produced by plac

small table perl..:- i beside It. for read

may be another jp of chairs and a

be large and comfortable to sit on.
Aa to Mob..
Tou can't punish n mob unless yon
punish It while it is a mob. A man is
hot the mime man while be Is lu a mob
as be Is while he is an Individual, and
this Is one renson why It Is so dlllleuli
ever to punish nnd Individual for what
be did s a part of a mob. This (11

reason It Is generally useless to hope
