To /fame the Ohio.

There Is a merry row on between tor. Nash and President McKinley ever the christening of the new battleihip Ohio. Originally Gov. Nash’3 laughter was selected to break the bottle of wine on the prow of the ship. Mrs. McKinley, however, demanded that her niece. Miss Mary Barber, be awarded the honor. Now it is an-

nounced that Miss Nash has consented to stand aside. Her father, the governor, is said to be very wroth over the action of the president in depriving Miss Nash of the place once awarded her. It seems that one of Senator Hanna’s daughters also coveted the place, but the senator has announced that he has declined to permit the committee to consider either of his daughters for the occasion, on the ground that the Hanna family has Agured altogether too conspicuously in public events with the McKinley family. Senator Foraker thoughtfully withdrew his daughters" in favor of Mis 3 Barber, and now that young lady has no competitors. Sho will travel to California in company with the president and his wife.

MISS MARY BARBER.
