time that voting precinct has been
largely curtailed and is left now with
precinct only about four by six miles.
To our knowledge, no one has ever

BLAINE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Ne is Extensively sIobbered Over
by the Unien League.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 23.-At about 3
A. NJ. Blaine and party returned from q
drive TO the park. After luncheon
Blaine proceeded to the Union League
club house for public reception. This
took place 10 the large assembly roem.
Blaine was attended by committee Of
thirty of the young members Of the
League In evening dress. Thousands Of
people streamed through the room until
hall. past 4, when the reception termi-
mated and Blaine drove back to the Con-
tinental Hotel for dinner. While the
party was IT'LL at dinner, Senator Don
Cameron came TO bid Blaine good bye
Al soon a. 1t was known in the hotel
that Blaine had returned from the Union
Lssgue, guests began to gatherin groupes
In the corridor leading TO his room,
aud Just as dinner ended some ladies'
pushed open the door far enough to see
the distinguished guest and candidate.
and stood gazing at him. When Blaine's
attention was called to them he turned
from tho gentlemen with whom he was
talking and shook hands with the ladies.
At about 80, Blaine, protected on one
side by Elkins, and on the other by Presi-
dent Baker, OF the League, made his way
through the usual crowd to his carriage
and was driven to the private entrances
Of the Club House, where again the po.
lice had to hold the people in check
while he made his way into the build
ing. The Club House was relatively
more crowded than the street and Blaine
was again compelled to undergo hand
shaking ordeal. At few minutes past
eight Mr.. Benson, the first President OF
the League, requested all but Blaine and
his party TO withdraw from the room,
which was becoming very close.
This request was complied with
slowly and while the gentlemen
in the room were leaving there were
others begging to be allowed "a word
with Blaine" but Benson was compelled
to be inexorable. Blaine was then
escorted to platform erected In front
Of the building where he reviewed
parade led by General Hartranft as
Chief Marshal. The procession passed
the stand and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. From the Union League club
house one could see abont o mile and
half down the broad street. The pro-
csssion filed the whole of this space
and during the whole time Blaine re.
msined on the stand the torches appear
ing in the distance were like solid mass
Of moving fire and could be seen filing
into the broad street at the lower end,
All the clubs wore neat uniforms
spd moved In military order and
ths marching Of each club was admira-
bic. As the procession passed tho stand it
gave three cheers for James G. Blaine or
for James G.. Blaine, our next Presi-
dent. and Mr.. Blaine In each instance
removed his hat and bowed. The Young
Republican Club Of Philadelphia, body
Of quite young gentlemen, were espe.
ciaiIy demonstrative. They cheersd In

crowds. The Mayor Of the city expressed
the opinion that there were more
than 10000 men marching, and he
believed that half Of the population
of Philadelphia were out looking at
them. 1t was understood that there was
to be no speaking, SO no demand was
made for a speech. At 9;l5, while the
procession was still in full force, Blaine
bowed repeatedly and left the stand.
Upon entering the club house he took
some refreshments, after which he
passed out amid the most enthusiastic
cheering. He entered q carriage and
was driven rapidly to the depot and left
for New York at 9;35 on special train.

MIRA. Edison.

Mrs. Mary Stillwell Edison. wife Of
the inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, died
suddenly at 2 A. NJ. yesterday at her late
residence at Menlo Park, N. ]. She
was 20 years of age and leaves three
children. The story of her marriage to
Mr.. Edison Is singularly strange and
romantic one. When he first formed
her acquaintance he was about 25 years
of age. He had just invented the
chemical telegraph, by means of which
could be transmitted, he claimed, ON
single wire, 5000 words minute. The
telegraph, notwithstanding this, how
ever, became subservient to the Morse
system. While working on the chem.
ical telegraph unemployed several young
women to punch the holes in the paper
Among them was Miss Mary Stillwell.
One day he was standing behind her
chair examining telegraphic instru.
ment.
''Mr. Edison" remarked Miss Still.
well, suddenly turning around, II can
always tell when you are behind me or
near me-"
How do you account for that,' me.
chanically asked Mr.. Edison. still alb.
sorbed in his work.
81 don't know, am sure," she quietly
answered; 'but seem to feel when you
are near me"
"Miss Stillwell, said Mr.. Edison, turn.
ing round now in his turn and looking
his interlocutor In the face, "I've been
thinking considerably Of you Of late, and
II you are willing to have me, I'd like to
marry you."
"Yon astonish met" exclaimed Miss
Stillwell. I'll never"
| 81 know you never thought l would
be your wooer, interrupted Mr.. Edison,
"but think over my proposal, Miss Still
well, and talk it over with your mother. !"
Then he added, In the same off.hand,
business-like way, as though he might
be experimenting upon a new mode Of
courtship: "Let me know as early as
possible, as il you consent to marry me,
and your mother is willing, we can be
married by next Tuesday,"
This was the extent of Mr.. Edison's
courtship. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the highly-favored lady laid the ab-
rupt proposal before her mother.
"Ma has consented, she told Mr.. Edi.
son the next day.
"That's all right" said Mr.. Edison in
reply. 'We will be married a week
from to-day"
And SO it was. The two were married
In week and day from the beginning
of Mr.. Edison's novel and precipitate
courtship. In connection with his mar.
riage, however. a story is told quite as
singular. but fully in keeping with the
one already given touching his court
ship. 1t is said that directly following
the marriage he entered his laboratory
In his wedding suit, and hastily throwing
his coat on . bench began work.
"Why. surely, you are not going to
work on your wedding night" remon-
strated his chief assistant.
Suppose it Isl" he quickly answered,
setting to work with renewed zeal; "the
Gold 4 Stock Company don't care for
that. They want their instruments to-
morrow, and they've got to have them,
marriage or no marriage; SO here goes"
The wedding trip Of Mr.. Edison ran
into the mysteries Of inventions. His
welded life. however. is said to have
been q singularly happy one.-Nep

POLITICAL AsskssnExTs.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Professor
Gregory. Of the Civil Service Commits
sion, has written long letter upon the
subject of political assessments. The
chief points are contained in the follow
ing extracts: The grand interest Of
those sections Of the Civil Service act
which relate to contributing for political
purposes were two fold. First, to pre-
vent the use of government places and
government funds ~ forces to control
elections. Second, to protect govern
ment employees from compulsory contri-
buttons 70 political funds. A clerk is
employed to work for the people and not
for party, and his pay oomes from the
people and not from bis party.
What he earns is, therefore, bic
own and 1t is gross tyranny to extort
from him any part Of his earnings by .
threat Of removal or by 9 promise Of
promotion. The clerk, outside Of his
clerkship, is still citizen and as . citi.
zen has the common interest Of all good
citizens In the progress and welfare Of
his country, and the common right TO
vote and express opinions. to form asso.
Citations with those Of like opinion and
to use his money in all lawful ways to
propagate his opinions, but as an officer
or employe Of the government he IL
strictly under the authority of Congress
in all his official work aud relation and
must not violate any Of the four
prohibitions of the Civil Service
Act, but outside Of his official
life aud relations, beyond the realm
Of his duties 10 the government and be-
yond his connection with government
people and places, he becomes q simple
citizen and has all the duties, interests
and rights Of his fellow citizens not in
public employ. The Interpretation Of
the civil service law is easy and the
path Of duty required by IL is plain TO
all who honestly regard as its grand
aims the absolute defense of the ballot
box from all corrupt or corruptine Off
cial influence aud the protection OF gov.
eminent officials from political assess.
ments, for these two great public de.
mands Of the law must and will be fully
aud fairly enforced.
