WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 17.-What was left of
the town of Rat Portage by the recent confa-
grafton was almost totally destroyed by the re-
currence of a similar disaster early this morn
ing. The town possesses no appliances for pro-
lection against fire, and the flames, having full
sway, consumed all buildings within reach. One
store was saved by bio wing up an Intervening
building with gunpowder. This, with few
isolated dwellings, is all that remains of the
town. The stocks of the merchants are
total loss. The loss buildings and
stocks aggregate about $4,000. Owing to
the want of fire protection, the infammable ma

state of the town, insurance companies will not

MARIO, THE TENOR.
His Funeral in Rome-Almost Forgotten and
Unhonored.

His Funeral in Rome-Almost Forgotten and
Unhonored.
Cable Special.
Mario's death was more peaceful than his life
He died on Tuesday night in the arms of a
friend, Prince Odesealchi. BE was borne to his
temporary resting place in the cemetery. All
the Roman papers published long obituaries and
appealed 10 those whom in bygone days Mario
had so often charmed to give him funeral
worthy of him.
But the appeal must have fallen on deaf ears,
for barely one hundred persons had collected
outside the dead singers house in the Via di
Ripetta. Ten O'Clock in the morning was the
hour fixed for the ceremony at the little church
of San Roccio. The walls opposite Mario's house
were covered with haring announcements of
Blanca Donadio's last appearance this season In
LA Sonnambula."
The death chamber was on the second floor,
where still very small group OF the great ten
ore old friends assembled. The room had hardly
been uouched. In one corner stood Mario's lit
tie iron he'd, close TO which hung bronze relief
portraits of two dead children, and an English
text in frame, ''She is not dead. hut sleepeth."
The text may have had some connection with
the portrait of Grisi, facing it over the mantel-
piece or may have been connected with that of
his mother, a strlkingly beautiful brunette,
hanging beside his fathers portrait in an adioin-
Jag dining room.
When on his death-bed Mario expressed wish
TO be cremated. 1t would be easier, he said, to
convey his remains to Sardinia; but his nephew,
who was summoned to Rome some days ago,
persuaded him to give up the idea. Two singers
from the Costanza nailed down his plain deal
c, fin lid on yesterday before they were called
away to,the theater by Mile. Donadio's benefit.
They used Mario's own tools; the very tools he
had himself been using three days earlier.
Mario was making his will when he died.
He did not live long enough to sign it.
AT Mario's own request, the service at San
RoccIo was of the simplest kind, The draperies,

washington Post
1t is a fact worthy of note that Mr. Blaine has
not been in the House of Representatives or the
Senate since his retirement from office, with the
single exception of the day when he delivered
the eulogy upon Garfield in the House. He is
working steadily upon his book, and goes out
very little. There is no truth in the report that
his eyesght has been impaired by the contining
work OF the last year. His eyes are as clear and
bright as they ever were. His face has very
fine color and does not show the slightest sign
or trace Of care worry. His hair, short crisp
mustache and beard have softened down from a
grizzly grey to a clean white. His air of com
fort and content do not impress one as simu
lated. He really appears to be satisfied to be
out of politics. If he has had any financial re-
verses during the year. there is nothing in his
manner to indicate it. A friend of his said the
other day: Don't you believe Blaine has lost
any money. He never speculates in stocks, and
always conducts his business in a safe and con-
sarVatiVa manner"
