HON. JAMES G. BLAINE.
Reception by Citizens Of Lewiston and Au-
burn-Speech by Mr.. Blaine.

LEWISTON, Me-, June 25.-James G. Blaine
arrived in Lewiston this evening and received
an ovation from the crowds assembled at the
railway station. He at once drove to the resi-
dence of Col. Drew, whose guest he is during
his stay here. After tea a procession, composed
of local military organizations, and the reception
committee in carriages, went to Col. Drew's res
idenee, where they received Mr.. Blaine, and
escorted him to the hall, which was densely
packed. When Mr.. Blaine stepped on the plat
form he was greeted with tumultuous cheers.
A w. Savage, on behalf of the committee on
arrangements, delivered a brief address of well
come, and Mr. Blaine replied as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the
Sister Cities of Lewiston and Auburn | am deeply
moved by the cordality of your reception. 1t is a
great addition to the completeness of your reception

division and that am permitted to meet
you simply as old friends and fellow-citzens

thirty years have in public station and in private
life, known and appreciated your city and citizens,
and have cooperated with them in many ways for the

"Correct relations with nature"
is a phrase that means great deal
more than can be brought out in
the space at our disposal here. Loss
of health is the penalty of violating
natural law. Being well, the way
to continue so is to maintain correct
relations with nature; being ill, the
first step toward recovery is the
restoration of such relations. Pre-
vention is surer, cheaper, and more
reliable than cure; wherefore the
adage, can ounce of prevention is
better than a pound of cure" In a
climate like ours, where the annual
range of the thermometer is as
much as one hundred and twenty
degrees, ones Clothes are a mat
ter of the first importance. Our
business, as Clothiers and Fur
nishers, is to apparel Men, Youths,
Boys and Children according to the

days past, it is hardly necessary to
say, the thinnest, coolest and ARREST
vestures have had the call, and our
unequaled resources have been very
freely drawn upon by hosts of peo-

pie: the hot weather creates the

prices sell them. Thus, through all

UTICA, n Y, June 25.-At the annual meet
ing of the trustees of Hamilton College, to-day,
a communication was received signed by all the
faculty, charging that the present unsatisfactory
condition of the college is due to the signal fail
ure of the administration of President Darling.
President Darling, after the reading of the com
munication, stated that it came upon him like
thunder from clear sky. He had had no
intimation of dissatisfaction on the part of the
faculty. The trouble grew almost wholly
from the senior class. 1t seems there was not
rebellion against the faculty, but only rebellion
of the faculty against the president He con-
Guided by saying that he had been ready the
day before, to place his resignation at the dis
posa of the trustees, but he could not do so now;
it would not be just, either to himself or to the
college. A special committee of trustees was
appointed to take into consideration the COM
muncator of the faculty and the general state
of college discipline and government.

A CHANCE FOR A JOB.

A Clause in the Sundry Civil Bill Which May
Open a Leak.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-There is clause in
the sundry civil appropriation bill, which passed
the House the other day, which provides that
the work of engraving bank notes, bonds,
stamps, ETC., shall all be printed at the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing provided it can be
done as cheaply by private parties, the quality
of work considered Those who supported the
clause did so believing it would stop the letting
of contracts for certain work. and that it was a
matter of economy in the long run, since it
would utilize the machinery of the government
1t transpires that the clause takes the bars
down and gives the Superintendent of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing the priv
ilege to let any work to contract which he deems
to be matter of economy in first cost, and
opens up the question again of the sense in the
government doing its own work in this line. 1t
has been demonstrated that outside parties can
do it cheaper. but none will do it so we'll. The
postal notes were printrd by private parties.

THE WHEELER CASE.
The Accused Admits the Truth of the
Charges Against Him.

The Accused Admits the Truth of the
Charges Against Him.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-James A. Winston,
for many years connected with the clerks Office
of Sangamon county, Ills, and who examined
into the expenses of the United States Courts of
that State, was before the Springer committee
this morning. He described the method of
irregular collections in the Southern district and
he said Marshal Wheeler had made a statement
in writing concerning them, and, while he did
not deny the charges, seemed to know nothing
about them in many of the cases brought to light,
and said Chief Deputy Reece made out the ac
counts in question. The latter stated that he
never made up any accounts, except where the
chief clerk furnished the memoranda, or where
Marshal Wheeler gave instructions in detail.
Louis Yetter was on Marshal Wheelers criminal
docket twelve times in four years, as appearing
before the commissioner to guard prisoners. Vet
ter was janitor of a building in Springfield, and
has been such for twenty-five years. He swore
he did not think that in that period he had been
before commissioner more than twenty times,
certainly not hundred times, and that he never
received any pay for his services
Congressman Stewart Ia Republican, here ex-
pressed the opinion that it was un-
necessary to proceed any further in
the matter. He read from Wheeler's
written statement, showing his admission of all
the charges. The affair could not be made worse
by any amount of testimony than the marshal
admitted
Bowman, who was associated with Winston in
making examinations in Wheeler's case was re-
called and corroborated Winston's statement.
One man was arrested in the hall of the court
house at Springfield, by Wheeler in person, and
an account was rendered if the arrest had
been made 1877 miles away; his charge was $50. ~
and the lawful charoe was 40 no

by the unqualified respect and admiration which
he has won from the people throughout this and
