Mr.. Blaine's Ambition.

A writer in the Capital to-day says he has
learned in the last fortnight that James G..
Blaine has been quietly taking stock Of his
politic,l strength and resources, and pre-
pairing to use his forces to the best advantage
In the States where elections occur this fall,
In order to get them well In hand BY the ma
tional convention. A. vigorous foreign poll
cy will be the doctrine upon which he means
to make his fight, and this Is Intentionally
outlined In the chapter Of his work that he
has permitted to see the light. Els eulogy
on Jefferson for the louisiana purchase
shows the bias and direction Of his thoughts
and plans. The writer was assured by an
intimate friend of Mr.. Blaine that the latter
had long looked forward to the establish
ment of mighty empire by combining Mex
leo with the United States, and that the first
step toward such . movement was taken
when be proposed to invite delegates from
the Central American States to meet here,
With view of considering whether those

A Weakness in West Point.

Alden, the fscetious essayist of the New
York Times, has been looking for the cause
Of the recent downfall o: several army men,
and pas discovered weakness In The West
Point system. He says: at is TO be hoped
that the board of army officers now employed
In visiting the various colleges Of the United
States with view TO obtaining hints for the
Improvement of the West Point curriculum
will discover that the instruction in poker
given to the West Point cadets Is miserably
bad. There Can be but one meaning attached
to the recent charges Of losing government
money at poker which have been brought
against certain army officers. These men
do not know how to play the game with any
real efficiency. When called upon TO play
poker they lose their own money and then
the money entrusted TO them by the governs
ment. The country has spent vast sums OF
money in establishing an institution for the
education OF officers for the army, and yet
the graduates Of this institution are beaten
at poker by self taught Indian agents or BY
the graduates of Mississippi steamers. This
10 . truly disgraceful state Of things, and II
must be remedied without delay"

A RICH MANS CHARMER.
Concerning the Beauty for Whom Senator
Fair Shattered All His Household Gods.
Peru Republican.

ferh HepUOttc0n,
Reference has been made lately TO the un-
happy domestic relations of Senator Fair, of
Nevada, which eliminated in a decree of
divorce and alimony for his wife. The girl
in the case, who seems to have completely
captivaLed the old man with his 0,000, 900,
Is "Annie Carpenter" q plump and hand
some blonde, about twenty.seyen years OF
age, with crushed strawberry hair. Annie
has history and so have her mother and her
aunt. She is the daughter of j. Ii. Smith,
who was the editor and proprietor of the
Peru Free Press about thirty years ago. In
1856 Mrs. Smith left her husband in Peru
and accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. John 7. Ste.
vens to California-or at least was a passen-
ger on the same ship with them. Mrs. Smith
went to the home of her sister, Mrs. Shultz,
also Peruvian, who was then living with
her husband and keeping hotel at Young's
Hill, mining town not far from San Fran.
cisco. Very soon after her arrival there her
daughter was born and christened "Annie."
Mrs. Smith obtained divorce from the hus-
band she abandoned In Peru and married a
miner named Carpenter, whose name her
child by the former marriage was permitted
TO assume. She left Carpenter, obtained
divorce from him, and for awhile had en-
ployment in Washington. After returning
West she was remarked to Carpenter. The
little daughter Annie went to live with her
aunt, Mrs. Shultz, who was very fond of her.
Mrs Shultz became a member Of Colonel
Bakers family, IN San Francisco, and taking
advantage of her husbands absence in
mining town, procured divorce and accom-.
panied Colonel Baker to Washington. Soon
afterward Colonel Tom Fitch, silver-tongued
orator of the Pacific slope, became enamored
of Mrs. Shultz and married her, after pro-
curing divorce from his wife.
Like her mother and her aunt, Annie Car
penter has charms. Some time ago San
Francisco doctor or dentist fell desperately
In love with her, although he was at the time
The hush and of one wife. Through the in.
fiuence of Colonel Fitch he procured d.
vorce and married bis new love at Virginia
City. Afterward the wronged wife had the
proceedings Of the court granting him di-
vorce set aside, and this annulled his mar
Iiage with Annie Carpenter. She has since
made conquest of larger game. Her reia.
tions with Senator Fair we're the grounds for
the divorce recently obtained by Mrs. Fair.
The en-millionaire is now free to marry his
bonnie Annie, who is said to be pretty as
well as vivacious.

We learn from our London exchanges that
all the kinds ofgarment covered BY the name
of morning coats are still made to close we'll
up and to button three holes. The waist is
carried TO the long side, the skirts short and
well rounded away in front. This style of
coat is only revival of one that was in favor
many years ago. The finer or better class
of dark coatings are made up in the frock-
coat style, and in the military or to the short
side in both waist and skirts, which are also
made very plain, the front buttonlng three
holes, and two in lapels, which are faced
with layantine; edges braided or bound.
Cuffs are formed in all kinds of coats, with
two or three holes at the sleeve bands
Scotch angolas and make of tweeds are now
ali the rage; the majority being In small
checks, in endless variety of designs and
patterns. Brown, gray or brick-co ored
mixtures are taking the lead. Taste appears
to be about equally divided between lounges
and the long wasted forms of morning coats.
Smart, we'll made young gentlemen, who
have for the last two seasons extended their
allegiance so faithfully to the closs-ittipg
lounge, are now taking kindly to the long
wasted, smalLskirred morning coat style,
buttoning two holes, which are so placed as
to admit of fancy vest, cut in the jockey
style, being seen both above the turn and at
the waist
Fancy vestings are more generally worn
than for the last few seasons; and, from the
number of new styles of fancy vestings to be
seen on the counters of wooden merchants,
it will be quite safe to conclude that they
will be in favor duri ing the summer months.
Trousers are cut in the straight style; tina
Is, they are of the same width at the knee
and bottom, ranging from seventeen inches
to eighteen inches, and of the pigeon-hole
shape across the instep. Beaded side-seams
are invariably formed with the border on
the materials, and the seam made to fall
straight down the side.
Summer overcoats are in the short Chester
field shape moderately close to the figure,
with center.seam in the back, and vents at
bottom of the side-seams. The fronts are
not made to close so high up as they have
been, and the lapels are little broader; these
are faced with silk, or lavantine to match
the color of the cloth. All the seams are
laid over and stitched, which gives irmness
and finish to the palmer class of materials.

DAN RICE,S PRAYER.
A suppiication ar the Bedside of u Sick Man
and Its Wonderful Results.

ERIE, Pa, June 19.--For week past Dan
Rice, the veteran Snowman and clown, has
been staying with his family here. The pa.
pers of towns in which Nathan's circus has
been performing say bc was summsrily dis
charged by Nathan for habituul drunken
ness, but the Colonel denies this. Yesterday
be visited Squire Ryman, sick Justice,
whose death was hourly expected. Drop
ping upon his knees, the old clown said,
"Let us pray" and he forthwith poured out
a most pathetic invocation that moved the
family aud friends to tears. Ministers and
deacons had prayed at that bedside before
him, but none had the melting tenderness
and touching pathos Of the clowns suppl
cation. Some of those who heard 1t and
sobbed like children saw him in the ring but
few days ago and had tears brought to their
eyes from excessive laughter over the gibes
of this "fellow of infinite jest" The Squire
is reported better aud out of danger.

Are the Louisiana Lottery Drawings Fair
Chicago Inter Ocean.

The two commissioners who superintend
their single number drawings, when inter-
viewed on the subject, reluctantly admitted
that the numbers which we're placed In the
tubes and put in the wheel were only count
ed twice q year. They draw the lottery
every month. Is not this barefaced fraud?
Their excuse is that IL would take ten days
labor, with four assistants. How, then, can
any ticket buyer in this lottery know that
the number on his ticket has corresponding
number In the wheelp If they desire an
honest drawing, why do they not, on the day
of and just before their drawing, allow the
ticket holder the privilege Of calling out his
number and see that IL Is placed in the wheel,
so that he can have some chance of its being
drawn out with . prize from the other wheelP
Other lotteries have done so. Under their
system, why don't they make their capital
sl,0OO0O0? They might as we'll. Is not
the published list of winners In their lottery
also a fraud2 1t Is very easy, for afew dol
lars, to get persons who are willing TO let
them use their names as the holders OF big
prize. Is 1t any longer wonder how they
controlled the Louisiana constitutional con-
vention, courts and legislatures, and for
mer postoffice administration? Under this
system Of drawings It will be no trouble to
make money enough to control and run our
very government.

GAMBLING AT LONG BRANCH.
Gambling Facilities Provided by a Well
known PhiiadeIphian.
Ne7p Ynrl World


The latest and most successful attempt to
open gambling hell at Long Branch is
now fairly under way. 1t is Mr.. Philip
Daly's enterprise, and is the first deliberate
attempt made in this country to initiate the
luxurious sporting houses of Baden and
other European spas, and 10 entice American
women to initiate the practices of continent
al fashionables. Anything more unique or
glitterlng than this SO called club house has
not been seen in this country.
Il is situEsed,at the West End opposite the
hotel of that name, and is the same build
lug formerly occupied by the notorious John
Chamberlain. But it has been metamor-
phosed with admirable taste and skill and
passes for club house, cottage or restaurant,
as you may choose 10 designate 1t. Its ex-
terror attracts the attention of all visitors by
Its vivid color and beauty of position. The
grounds are superbly kept. The access Is most
inviting, and the broad verandas, upon which
may be seen at all hours handsomely dress
ed men and women, are pretty sure to draw
in the sightseer and causual visitor. The
lawns are rich with costly flowers and its ap-
prOaches are all rich with tropical plants. To
the public 1t is known as the Pennsylvania
GLIB House, and large Gag floats from the
tai center staff bearing that name. But it
is, in fact, a restaurant--that melts before
you are aware of 1t into gambling house.
That this sumptuous establishment is de-
signed not only to catch the sportingly in
cliied of the male sex, but to lure the wo-
men Of fashion who come to the Branch
there can be no doubt. Already the restau-
rant catches them, and from the restaurant
TO The parlor is but all easy step, and the
curiosity of the fashionable idler who finds
no adequate excitement at this watering
place excep: to flrt and play lawn-tennis,
will sooner or later carry her into the charm
ed inner circle. When the house was THROWN
open there were scores of curious women
con here is not yet fairly opened. Last night
there were quite number Of people buck
ing the tiger in the first parlOr, and one OF
the attendants told me that in few weeks
they expected to have the parlors crowded
every night. asked him if they expected
to have ladies present, and he said: "Oh, y"s,
they'll come to it sooner or later. 1t is only
a question of time. We've got TO get over
the prejudice and do as they have been doing
in Germany for years.

MARBLE BURIAL CASKETS.

Substitute for Catacombs

An enterprisng Chicago man has invented
a "marble burial casket," which has had con
siderable sale in the West and In New York.
sit is made," said an agent TO the reporter,
"of Portland and Kansas cement, and is inn
perlshsbe and indestruc:ible. Surviving
friends Of the dead have a natural and COM
mendabIe desire TO preserve the bodies of
their loved ones from decay as long as posi-
BILE. Wooden cofins decay very speedily,
and those made of iron rust and crumble
away in a very short time when subjected to
the chemicals of the earth. In the earlier
ages stone graves were hewn out Of the solid
rock were the favorite receptacles for the
dead, not only because they resisted the
agencies mentioned, but also because they
preserved the dead from the hands of resur
rectionists. Such thing as a solid marble
or stone grave is out of the question now,
however, except among mlllionaires, but the
new burial casket meets all the ends served
by the old stone grave. IL Is in striking con
trast with the dilapidated cloth, wooden and
iron caskets, aud will supersede the necessi-
ty of vaults. Each one Of our caskets is a
hermetically sealed catacomb in itself. They
are lighter than iron, aud the strongest cask
cts ever made. The interior is Of perforated
zinc set OH wrought iron skeleton frame
Both the frame anu the zinc are imbedded in
the walls of the casaet. The cement grows
harder with age.
''One point, and very strong one, IN favor
Of this casket is that when it is closet 1t be
comes a perfect whole. The cover is joined
10 the casket with the same GENE Mt with
which the casket is made, and he nee it is
hermeticslIay sealed without joint or crack.
IL is complete, solid marble case. Another
great advantage of our caskeis over those Of
wood or iron Is the fact that burial ceremon-
les can be held with perfect safety over the
bodies Of persons who have died of contagi-
Gus diseases. There is not The slightest dan
ger pf contagion."

"a frst-class marble ca sket does not cost
any more than the best ma Ike of iron or wood
The upholstering and the outside trimmings
are all Of the best quality, a,d in fact, pre-
csely the same as those used in ordinary
coffns."

Caring for the Hair.
Philadelphia Ledger.

A lively old lady, who died far advanced
in her eighties, and was proud in extreme
old age of her beautiful dark hair, was ac-
customed when girl, to hang up her night
cap every morning filled with salt. This
was shaken ont into Q Japanned dressing
box every night on retiring, but enough salt
remained clingiDg to the cambria to secure,
as she thought. the remarkable preservation
of her hair. DR.. Holmes has sung or gos-
siped about the "widening part" which Is
one Of the tell-tale tracks of passing years;
but until lately the prevailing fashion OF
dressing the hair did not make any parting
to show. Those who wear the hair In true
classic style, with the pure white line from
orcw TO crown. may find some use In the
following recommendation of the New York
Erening Post for strengthening the hair and
renewing thin spots: ITO quart of warm
water allow one tablespoonful of salt, and
just before retiring for the night wet the
head thoroughly with this, not along the
widening seam alone, But the entire head.
Repeat this operation for one or two. nights
each week until good results are apparent. Y
l. is likely that the vigorous rubbing which
this treatment makes necessary afterward Is
Of as much use TO the hair as the saline
treatment.

GEORGE ERRINGTON.
Something about the Man Who Represents
England at the Vatican.

George Errington, who has acquired the
distinction which O'Connell deemed the
greatest, Of being tho best abused man of the
moment, Is q nephew Of the Right Hon. X.
Moore O'Farrell, who was the devoted fol-
lower of O'Connell through oil his struggles,
was NJ. p. tor many years for Kildare, and
latterly for Longford, and held many high
positions, the latest having been the Cover
nor Generalship of Malta. Through his in
fuence Mr.. Errington was returned In 1874
and again In 1880 for Longford, with which
he was otherwise unconnected, his proper
ties being situated in Tipperary and Kildare.
He was q supporter of Home Rule, under
the leadership of the late Isaac Butt, and
when Mr.. Parnell seeded from that party
and formed the more advanced one which he
now leads, Mr.. Errington remained with the
old party, numbering twenty now, and led
by Mr.. Butts immediate successor, MIR.
Shaw, the NJ. p. for County Cork. Mr.. Err
rlngton is also nephew of Archbishop FIR
rington, Cosdlutor Archbishop to Cardinal
WIseman, and vino would have filled the
place now filed by Cardinal Manning had
not his delicate health obliged him TO retire &.
from active ministry. Mr.. Errington's sis
ter, young lady Of great beauty aud accom-
plishments and great fortune, Is Benedic-
tine nun, and the Italian branches of the
family, including Prince Spade and many Of
the old Italian mobiles, are loyal adherents OF
the Pope. All the family are devoted Cath
olics and munificent In their charities, which
gives Mr.. ErriDgton any influence hs pos
sesses at the Papal Court. He Is not aecred-
tied from the English Government more than
Lords O'Hagan and Haughton, both Of whom
have been in frequent communication with
Cardinal Jacobini on political affairs. Mr..
Erringtop Is gentleman Of cultivation and
very gentle character. he Is cousin Of Mr..
Riggs, the Washington banker, and has con-
siderable property in this country. He Ii
