Mr, Blaine Makes a Denial.

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-Ex-Secrstary Blaine in an interview this morning with United Press reporter denied emphatically the truth Of the statements contained in Wash ington dispatch to New York paper to the ef- feet that Blaire had said, believing the Repub- lican nominee for Presidentwhoever he may be will not be elected, he wants no empty honor and therefore he will not accept thesnonlina- tion. Mir. Blaine says the falsity of the dis
 patch is shown on it's face, and that it is incumbent upon the journal publishing It to produce the name of the gentleman to whom he is reported to have made this statement.
 He added further that he firmly believed the nominee of the Republican convention, whoever he may be, will certainly be

The Boss Of a Colorado Ball.

1t happened in a rough mining
town in Colorado. There was a
grand ball at the ranch of Whisky
Jack, a well-known character of the
"diggins,~ and the "elite" of the dis

force The party was held in rickety
old barn belonging to the host, and

and a row of dripping candles, and

BAINBRIDGE.

The mud is doubtless deeper than
ever before.
Messrs. Mitchell Il Rawls repaired
the bridge at this place over Muddy
Fork, since the thaw.
The farmers are coming to the
front and renewing their work with
vim, after being housed up so long
they seem to be impatient and anx-
ious to advance their work again.
While this is the case there is moth
ing that can be done on account of
the mud, but strip, prize and get the
tobacco ready for market.
Prof. b. Thom, of Wallonia, called
on friends at this place a few days
ago.
w. F. Read, Tobacco buyer of c.
rulcan Springs, was in our midst
one day last week in the interest of
his business.
There have been many mules and
horses crippled by the ice and mud
in this vicinity.
They arc soon to have a railroad
at Cerulean Springs, or at least those
who subscribed for the benefit of the
road have been called on for a pro
rata of the subscription whether it is
ever built or not. Doubtless the
coming railroad will be of great ben
eft to this part of the country, but
good pike from the county line to
Hopkinsville would benefit the peo-
pie of this part of the county more
than the coming railroad.

"The boss, l say. Amt she lovely

"Chimpanzee."
He glared at me for moment, and

his red eyes growing large.

The Dude.

We find in one of the scientific cs-
says of the New York Post, u very ell
aborate analysis of the dude, by
which hc-the term is unqualifiedly
masculine-lnay be Enthusiastically
pointed out whenever seen. Accord
ing to that very eminent authority, a
dude is a young man not to exceed
% years of age, dressed in clothes
which are fashionable without being
ostentatious, with very tight trousers,
clerical collar encircling his neck,
wearing a tall black hat, pointed
shoes, and carrying cane generally
with a silver handle, under his arm
at an acute angle. The hair is parted
in the middle and worn in "bangs."
His conversation is implied rather
than expressed, for extreme sedatc-
ness and absence of levity are indis-
pensable to being Il dude. lie never
laughs aloud or looks gay, as high
spirited, hilarious dude would be a
contradiction of terms. The mission
of the dude seems to be to crush the
cad, his meekness, silence and refine
ment being so much the antipodes Of
The distinguished traits of the cad
that the latter is, metaphorically
speaking, cast into outer darkness by
the new regulator of the frivolities of
the world. The dude has one crown
ing virtue, he loathes and contemns
the "mashcr." Let us encourage the

The Coming Newspaper.

Complaints are now made that
many newspapers give too much
reading matter. Or rather too little
fact in two many words; too much
verbosity and fine print; too much
taxing of the eye to its utmost power
of vision to read what is printed.
People are dismayed at the amount
put before them in the morning to
read. 1t is predicted that the news

words and more idea and fact to the

Reputation with prosperity has
ever been esteemed one of the most
powerful incentives TO deeds of hero
ism and one modern school ofphilos-
ophy recognizes as the only true i'm
mortality of man, the enduring benef-
icent influence of his virtuous actions.
If, however, the fabric of our civillza-
ton were seen to be tottering, it is
plain that this particular stimulus to
virtue would fail. But, as our Civ
ilization Perishable?', The question
is aked in the North American Review
for March, by Judge j. A. Jameson,
who considers the several agencies by
which the overthrow of the existing
civilization might be effected. In the

by William l.. Bear, editor of the
Mark Lane Express. "a Defencelcss
Sea-board," by Gen. II. A. Smallcy,
is description of the unprotected
condition of the harbors and coast
cities of the United States ;and though
the author employs none ofthc arts of

fail to awaken the people Of this coun-
try TO the importance of being in
peace prepared for war. "Neithcr

CURING THE AFFLICTED.
An Entertaining Talk With a spe-
cialist Testing Defects Of
Vision and Hearing.
Nashvllle AmerIcnn Of Fch. 2.

DIR. A. b. Barker, a Cincinnati Oc-
ulist and Aurist, is stopping at the
st Cloud Hotel in this city, and is
desirous of having those troubled
with any disease of the eye, ear, nose,
ear or throat call upon him.
An American Reporter visited the
specialists Office yesterday and was
highly entertained for an hour or
more by lecture given on the sub
ject of the diseases and treatment of
the eye, and more especially his
explanation of the uses ofa little III
strument known as the opthalmo-
scope. The doctor had cases on ca
ses of instruments and parapherna-
liza used in his business, most of
which were very ingenious, novel
and costly. But it was with this lit
tie opthalmoscope that the reporters
attention was most captivated. The
opthalmoscope, though not larger
than silver dollar, with a lead pen
Gil attached TO it for q handle. is so
ingeniously contlived as TO exactly
guage and record the defect in any
human eye so that glasses can be Sc
lected to overcome the trouble per-
fectly, and in many instances cure
the defect altogether. And this fact
is to be looked upon as all the more
remarkable, when the innumerable
defects in the lens and other parts of
the eye are taken into consideration
and understood. But this is by no
means the most wonderful part Of il,
for DIR. Barker explained to the re-
porter that even after the lens of the
eye, which is the seat of vision, from
which the power and function itself
rad'ates, has become injured and ru-
ined, ii may be destroyed, which
leaves the posscssor wholly blind,
yet, even then, an outside lens or
crystal can be SO constructed as TO re-
store light TO the blind person. To
dare to cnunciatc such an astound-
ing theory IN by-gone ages would
have been sure to bring the person
who had the tcmerity TO do it to
be burnt at the stake for
rank heresy. In the grand march
Of the ages, however, and the light of
knowledge thrown on every subject
in this great century, that such
thing can be done is clearly demon
stratcd by DR.. Barker, and it is well
worth the while Of any one interest
ed IN this study to call at the ST.
Cloud Hotel and have the matter
elucidatcd, for there is no branch of
this most wonderful, beautiful and
exact science that the Cincinnati
physician cannot make so clear TO
any person of ordinary intelligence
rs TO make il a wonder that science
has scaled all these great heights and
brought her trophies within the com
pass of small room visible by the
manipulation of few small instru-
ments in the hands of savant. 1t is
impossible through the instrument
tality accorded the reporter
TO describe the wonderful and
Kaleidoscope effect produced upon
the mind by the vision DR.. Barker
places before it. Matters supposed
to be known TO scientists alone are
made so simple a child can under
stand them.

and yet, according to recent estimate

snug little sum Of 81 per day.-Madi-

convert the Times into an organ and
grind some one into Congress who
would see your four dollars per day,

THE JOHN L. SULLIVAN gang
of sluggers got into trouble in Den
yer on Wednesday, and engaged in a
rough-and-tumble fight, in the
course of which a policeman and
others were bruised and beaten
Unfortunately none of the bruisers
were sent to the hospital for repairs.
though some of them were jailed.
In view Of the fact that the ruffians
are about to make'a descent upon
Salt Lake, it is a matter Of regret
that all were not so roughly
handled as to make their Utah
trip impossible, or at least to put
them in no condition for exhibiting
their brutallties and ugly art here.
Salt Lake has no use for them or
their kind. TIE fewer sluggers we
have, and the less admirers of the
miscalled "manly act" as interpreted
by these bruty brutes oe the prize
ring, the better for the peace, good
order and responsibility Of the city.

EVILS NEARER HOME"

New England dinner in Brooklyn
the other day at which Newman
and Beecher spoke about the Nor
mons the subject OF a leading edi.
torial under the above head. While
there are so many evils nearer
home in need of rebuke it cannot
understand why a New England
divine should confne his wrath to
an evil which exists 1000 miles
away and has MOI foothold upon his
own treshhold. This does seem
strangely inconsistent, bat it
appears to be the way of
d large portion of the
religious world. We all know how

petually begging Cor shoes and shirts

who have no use for shirts or shoes,
while all our big cities are filed
with street arabs who need shoes,
shirts, hot soup and comfortable
beds a coed deal more than the
Hottentots need religion. The mote
and beam story is familiar, and
is applicable quite frequently in
outside discussions Of the Utah
problem, The World thinks it az.
plies to the case of the New Eng
land dinner speeches, especially as
the distinguished divines confined
themselves to Utah, failing to find
evils demanding denunciations at
their own doors, no sins there to de
pIore, nothing requiring their rig ht,
eous condemnation. Among other
things the World says:
The corruptions Of our political sys.
ten, from the primaries to the Presi.
dency, are notorious. The very essence
OF our Government is the right OF the
people to govern. Our Constitution
secures TO every citizen eqnsi civil and
political privileges. The poor mans
voice should be as potent IS that of the
rich man. The representative of labor
has the same vote az the representative
OF wealth. Yet by the overwhelming
power Of money and patronage, q politi>
cal party purchases elections and, either

quently. subverts the will Of the people

nounced, holds his Office through corrupt
practices in Indiana, New York and

leader who carried them out and who
was bauqueted by the President and his
party friends in honor Of his success.
Is not this outrage on free govern
ment, this larceny Of the Presidency.
this despoiling Of the people, 'leprosy''
more repulsive and more fatal than po-
lygsny about 2, 900 miles away?
