Hanna Memorial Exercises.

The President and Cabinet, Ambassadors, judges of the Supreme Court, Senators, Congressmen, generals, admirals, governors of States, legislators, State officials, municipal officers and captains of industry attended his funeral services. Manufacture in his native State paused; commerce and transportation stood still; the busy hum of machinery and industry was hushed, the miner laid down his tools, labor in all callings ceased its work, and all men bowed their heads in memory of the man whose loss they mourned. The State had lost its first citizen, his party its acknowledged leader, the country a patriot and statesman.

And so he passed away in the fullness of his influence and his powers, in the full possession of his splendid faculties, in the midst of a public career which gave promise of even larger usefulness, secure also in the knowledge that he was known and honored by his country; that all misunderstanding and misconception had passed away; looked up to by one vast set of interests as its shield and by another as its sincere friend and true adviser.

In closing I place this wreath from a dear friend upon his resting place:

We know not why our friend was taken away.

God's ways are not our ways.

His death made a vacancy which will remain unfilled.

He left the example of his life-a rich heritage.

The enduring love of his countrymen crowns his memory.

As when some stately vessel sails away

Full-rigged and masted for the wind and tide
Beyond the curving confines of the day,

Where cloud walls rise, and unseen perils hide;

And when in silhouetted majesty

She stands, full many statures of a man,
Is seen her greatness and her symmetry-
Her wondrous adaption for the plan,

Till she has crossed the bar of human sight,

Where blend the boundaries of sea and sky;
When all other craft seems small, and blight
Of insignificance aggrieves the eye.

So passed Mark Hanna to another world;

So sailed his spirit, mighty, staunch and true;
Well-built and ready, with each sail unfurled,

And with a world's best wishes for his crew.

With freight of kindly deeds, beyond a price;
Of patience, and unselfish simple good;
Of charity, and willing sacrifice;

Of love that made for common brotherhood.

Would we could hear the greeting and acclaim
Upon the other shore! From dome to dome

Will ring the welcome to his honored name;

So loved by all: "Mark Hanna, Welcome Home!"

Ohio at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

The plans of F. L. Packard, Architect, of Columbus, were accepted for an Ohio State Building to be erected on the Exposition grounds, and contract let to the Smith & Eastman Company, of St. Louis, to build same according to plans adopted, and one of the most beautiful of all the State Buildings was erected as the home of Ohio Visitors. It is arranged and conducted for the comfort of its guests. Everything for their convenience is provided. Besides a sitting and wash rooms for the ladies, a clean, wholesome and quiet rest room, containing comfortable cots supplied with immaculate linen is ever ready for overtired women, and many there are who take advantage of this room. The gentlemen's side contains sitting and wash rooms. In the sitting room box couches are provided for the convenience of tired men, especially elderly men. Instead of a rest room, a "Den" or smoking room, in Dutch furnishings, is provided for the gentlemen. Comfortable writing rooms, well equipped with stationery at all times, are at the disposal of visitors. Other conveniences as follows: Postoffice, Registration Book, enabling one to keep track of friends and acquaintances, Check Room, where articles of all kinds can be left without charge, Local and Long Distance Telephone, and an Information Bureau, where one can arrange for rooms, have arranged an itinerary for doing the Fair, and all kinds of information regarding the arrival and departure of trains, connections, etc. Uniformed Messengers are always in attendance, to direct or accompany visitors unacquainted with the grounds. On the second floor for the use of Clubs and Societies is a beautiful assembly room. In fact, everything for the comfort and convenience of Ohio visitors has been studied and provided. The Ohio Building is admirably situated on what is known as the "Plateau of States," on a slight incline leading to the great Exhibition Palaces. Fine shade trees on three sides of the building. It faces a sloping grove, and in the rear, beautiful "Forest Park" stretches far to the eastward. The air at the building is therefore always pure and invigorating and the broad verandas, well supplied with easy chairs, afford a cool and refreshing place of rest. The Commission arranged with Prof. Edward Orton, Jr., of the Ohio State University, for a Mineral Exhibit, with the result that Ohio's exhibit is one of the best in the Mines and Metallurgy Building, and the clay exhibit is considered one of the best on the grounds. This exhibit was collected and arranged under the guidance of Prof. Orton by Mr. Ellsworth Ogden, a pupil of the Ohio State University, who has had full charge of the exhibit. The State Archaeological and Historical Society has made some valuable discoveries lately in exploring the villages and graves of that strange and prehistoric people, the Mound Builders, and the display at the World's Fair is the largest and most interesting ever made by this organization. The exhibit is under the care of Prof. William C. Mills, of Columbus, Ohio. Ohio's repre
