history of his time Mr. Blaine said to a
caller the other evening: you have no idea
how much comfort find in living in quiet
and in sleeping long hours l eat good
breakfast, work in my library with my secre-
tary five hours, and late in the day eat
dinner that would do credit to young man.
l am not angry with anyone. That adds to
my comfort. To have plenty of time to go
about driving with my wife and family is an
other satisfaction"
How rich is Mr.. BiaineT' has been often
asked.
To a wealthy caller not long ago he said
~ am richer than you"
The many-times-millionaire visitor look
ed surprised as he said, "how much"
Mr.. Blaine replied: 'Ihave al! that 1 need,
and you will never have what you need.
Therefore am the richer"
Mr.. Blaine in working upon his book is study
ing the greatest simplicity of style. He says
that he observes that the higher you get in
literature the simpler the style of the writer.
The best style is one that approaches the
nearest to simplicity. His eulogy on Gar
field in the House of Representatives was a
model Grafton. 1t was prepared with the
greatest care. After it was written Mr..
Blaine put it aside for a few days and then
cut out of it exactly 5000 words This same
vein of simplicity he has observed in his
studies that the greatest leaders are without
titles. No one dreamed of addressing Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay or John c. Calhoun
by their senatorial titles. In the debates
they are spoken of as "Mr. Webster" "Mr.
Clay" and "Mr. Calhoun" Senator Web
ster would sound as much out of place as
General Julius Cesar"

services only of DIR. Conkling A parish
ioner employed Protestant doctor for his
sick wife. She did not improve, and it was
feared she would die. Father Byron was
sent for, but refused to attend because Dr.
Conkling had not been employed. The wo-

ing DR.. Conkling went to Father Brady
with letter of introduction. Father Brady
was i'll, and the Doctor handed the letter to
Father Daily, his assistant, asking him to
announce at the first mass that DR.. Conkling
was coming among them to practice medi-
cine, and requesting the priest to give him
an introduction to the people Father Daily
did so. Father Byron, at the next two
Masses made announcement to the effect
that he was glad a young Catholic doctor had
come among them, and they would no longer
be obliged to have recourse to heretical muir
derers. He announced that he would not
attend any woman who did not employ DR..
Conkling. Father Brady and other promi-
nent Catholics denounce the action of Father
Byron. The matter will be brought before

number two boys and eighteen women and
children. Sixty days ago Mexican troops sur
prised the hostiles in southern Sierra Madres.
This party OF Indians was cnt off from the main
body, and three days after the fight
party went back to bring Loco,
but Loco was too old to travel, and told the m TO
come without them. All the Indians were to-
gether when surprised by the Mexican troops.
Charley McComas was with them and well
treated. He was kept to aid them in case of sur
render. The Indians knew nothing OF General
Crook when they lett, but knew the country was
full of troops, ana If attacked Will fight until
whipped, and then scatter through the Sierre
Madres. Most of them will attempt to work
back to the reservation. Some expect mercy,
and will keep up the fight and remain in the
mountains as long as possible. They have no
other place to go. The mountains In
Crook will probably not meet any
of them before he reaches the extreme

is between 100 and $50, and more than 300

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
During the closing days of the cabinet ca
reer of James G. Blaine his face wore such
look of ghastly pallor every one thought he
could not live long. Since his retirement to
private life he has completely reganed his
health. His eyes are bright and his color as
fresh as fifteen years ago. His large new
house near the Stewart Castle in the north
western part of the city, is in high and
healthful location. Mr. Blaine works five
hours each day upon his history of the po-
litical period from Lincoln to Garfield. 1t
will be in two volumes The first, of 600
pages, is nearly completed. 1t will probably
be finished within the next thirty days and
issued early in the fall. Much of the first
book is already in type. The opening vol
ume, instead of beginning directly with the
war, has preliminary chapter of 100 pages,
reviewing the main incidents of our political
history which led to the war. This chapter
reaches back to 1852. The two volumes will
be illustrated with fifty steel-engraved por-
traits of the leaders in the period described
by Mr.. Blaine. He does not extend his book
so as to include the Garfield administration,
because he does not believe he would be
credited with an absence OF prejudice in tell
ing the story, "all of which he saw and a
part of which he was" He has not decided
yet whether he will ever write this history
or whether he will leave the mass OF docu-
ments and letters he has in his safe to be
used by some one else after him. Mr.. Blaine
has in.his mind the writing of several histo-
res. He is only fifty-three. His active po-
litical career closed at fifty-one He has great
wealth, a beautiful house, and having enjoyed
nearly all the honors of politics, is
really content to sit back as a spectator and
contribute valuable additions to the political

landed upon the stone steps, about twenty
feet below. He was badly injured and will
probably die.
