BLAINE AT HIS DESK.
How the Secretary of State Looks and
Acts in His New Office.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
sat for an hour in Secretary Blaine's Office at
Washington and watched him in the discharge
of official business. He did not, the writer
says, tell lies as the vulgar people in authority
do, and his heartiness was not assumed, for he
has the love of all mankind in his heart. 1t
was treat to watch the great premier getting
rid of crowd. His room was packed, and the
hall outside swarmed with people. The good
nature of the man, under severe provocation
to anger, was noteworthy. He was self-pos-
sessed ELUSIVE in politeness, and obliging in
his manners. He remained standing nearly all
the time I was in his room, and watched him
closely, for did I not hobble up to the State
Department to see for myself whether or not
Mr.. Blaine was a dying man? Well, I found
a very lively corpse. He certainly had as much
life as anybody in the room, including myself.
AS I have said, he stood the most of the time,
and about his face there was not even the
tired look" that we have heard so much
about. He got along with the crowd admira-
bly,, and when any officer or clerk of the de-
partment came in to ask about anything, it
was surprising to see the vigor, quickness and
and Mr.. Blaine sat down beside me- Then
saw how much printers ink had been wasted
on his health. If my word is worth anything,
let me say to them that Mr.. Blaine is not a
sick man. He looks as we'll as he did ten years
ago, except that his hair and beard are now
white, and he laughs at the sensational reports
that he has rheumatism, yes! in the knees,
and he has suffered good deal from it, but
otherwise he looks and feels like a bridegroom.
Blaine has always been careful of his eatings
and drinkings. He goes to more dinners than
any one in Washington, but he eats less and
drinks less than any one II you are talking
about sick men you had better look at Conk-
ling and Don Cameron. Blaine will out-live
both of them, and don't you forget it,

Sudden Termination of the Suit of Cobb
VS.. Humes-Albert H. Humes Arrested.

At the opening of the Superior Court yester-
day morning Mr.. S. G. Strout, counsel for the
plaintiff in the case of John @. Cobb VS.. Fam
ME G. Humes, said that Mr.. Cobb loaned the
money to Albert H. Humes upon the notes
in suit and Others amounting in all to over
$1,000, in the most perfect confidence that the
endorsement of Mrs. Humes was genuine;
that, in fact, he made some inquiries in regard
to it. He found that she wss worth property
while Hnmes was totally irresponsible, and so
the credit was given solely and entirely upon
her name. The defendant had manifested
desire to avoid and shrink from talk about the
matter, carrying with it an implication to the
minds of Mr.. Cobb and his counsel that her
signatures were genuine. The moths were sued
before Mr.. Humes left the city. In fact, two
suits were brought in December, defaulted in
January and continued for Judgment. For a long
time after Humes left Mr.. Cobb was unable
to find his whereabouts but on the day before
the case was assigned for trial last week he re-
ceived a letter from Humes, saying that the
signatures of his wife were genuine, and he
did not care to be put in the position of forger
and he would come and testify; that thereupon
Mr.. Cobb requested him to come, and he came
voluntarily; he told Mr.. Cobb and his counsel
that he had signed a paper stating that the
signatures of his wife were forgeries, and had
also written letter to her to the same effect,
but that there was not a word of truth in it.
Said Mr.. Strout, the result of it all is that in
the light of his testimony yesterday afternoon
both COL Cobb and myself have become inn
pressed with the feelieg that Mr.. Humes occu-
pies an attitude here Of utter unreliability.
We do not know when he is telling the truth
or when he is lying, and we do not propose to
ask the Court Or the jury to base judgment
upon any such testimony, and therefore they
would discontinue the suits.
Mr.. Ray, counsel for Mrs. Humes, said that
he fully concurred with the counsel for the
plaintiff that Albert Fl. Humes was liar. He
had no doubt but that COL Cobb took the notes
and brought the suits in the utmost good
faith.
The Court remarked that he thought the
conclusion to which the plaintiff had arrived
was justified by the singular exhibition of
Humes Wednesday afternoon that there was
nothing in the case which reflected in the
slightest degree upon Mr.. Cobb; that the state
ment in the letter written by Humes to his
wife, emanating from such source, could not
and should not have any force or crederce in
the mind of anybody. He directed the Clerk
to enter the case discontinued.
Col. Cobb then said that all the cases in
which he was counsel or plaintiff might be dis
posed o. in the same way
Judge Bonney notified County Attorney
Coombs to have Humes arrested at once, which
was done by officer Hanson. Humes was
lodged in Jail to await the action of the grand

word about the "Kinder symphonies
that are to form part of tho programme, both
for afternoon and evening. These symphonies
have not been generally heard by the Portland
public and are sufficiently unique to claim a
WORD of explanation. The Haydn Kinder Tor
children) symphonic was written by the great
composer for the especial amusement of Prince
Esterhazy'S guests during some festivities.
Determined to have something for his patron
quite new. Haydn bought at fair near Ersen-
stadt basketball of whistles, little fiddles
cuckoos, wooden trumpets, and other chill
dren's instruments.
He went to the pains of studying their com
pass even and composed a most amusing sym
phony with these toys, some of which executed
solos.
The cuckoo was the general bass of the
piece. The gaiety of Haydns character and
the copiousness of his ideas, we'll fitted him for
the display of the comic in instrumental music
and although he was no pioneer in the art of
using the instruments of the orchestra to pro-
duce laughter, he was peculiarly successful in
that style. Romberg, one of the most famous
violnists and quartette players of a somewhat
later period, has also written a Kinder sym-
phonie which in some respects rivals that of
the great Haydn.
Both OF these compositions are to form part of
the varied attractions at the Wednesday par
