ENTRUsIAsM FOR BLAINE.
Increasing Conhdepce In His Prospects-

T Special TO Lewiston Journal.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Noon
The republican national convention has
now been in session three days, and the
prophets who predicted that it would get
through and adjourn on Wednesday night,
have laid aside their functions. That bal
lot can be reached tonight is likely, but that
a nomination can be effected before Friday
is net at this moment generally anticipated
The anti Blaine reaction of Tuesday was
followed on Wednesday by a very manifest
rally for the Plumed Knight. 1t was IN the
air-and there was no mistaking it. If one
went into the corridors Of the hotels, oratory
for Blsine resounded through the halls. On
the streets bands played and professions
moved up and down. Ask what was going
on, and some one replies
Hooray for Blaine.
Enter the convention and hear the name
"Blaine" incidentally pronounced by one of
the speakers, and observe whether it is a
Blaine day in Exposition Hall. .sNever
heard such . gale of enthusiasm In all my
life," said Pacific coast delegate. It vas Z

No Mint yuIep Enthusiasm.

I am particularly gratified at the absence
of intemperance in the membership of the
convention, At none of the headquarters
does the bottle figure as host. 1t has been
discovered that republican conventions do
not require the articles that make a feller

The Protracted Session.

The unexpected extension of the session of
the convention is taxing the pocket books of
the unprepared, for Chicago doesn't entertain
political conventions for the fun of the thing.
You will remember that four years ago some
of the delegates had to send home for remit
tances, and it is barely possible that conf
fidence will again be restored by borrowing

How a Proverb Was Originated.

Albert Durer i, more famous and
more widely known as an engraver
than as painter. His first copper.
plate engraving was made in 1897 and
from that time he executed numerous
works of this kind. One of the first OF
these was ''St. Jerome's Penance," q
good impression of which was sod a
few years ago for five hundred dollars.
In 1893 Durer published his first series
of wood-cuts Illustrating the Apoca-
lypse of St. John. These cuts marked
new era in wood-engraving, and
showed what possibilities it contained.
Before this time it had been a rude art,
chiefly used by uneducated monks.
There are one hundred and seventy
four wood-cuts attributed to Durer.
The other important series are the
"Great and Little Passion" showing
the sufferings OF Christ. and the Life
of the Virgin" He often chose such
scenes as remind us only of death, sor-
row. AMI sin. Again, his grotesque
and fan astic humor was shown; and
nothing more wild and unusual could be
imagined than some of his fancies
which he made almost immortal
through his great artistic power. A
wood-cut called the "Triumphal Arch
of Maximi. ian" is two and a half feet
high and nine feet wide; it was COM
posed of ninety-two blocks, and all the
remarkable events in the Emperors
life are illustrated in it, as we'll as
many symbolical figures and pictures
expressive of his praise, nobility, and
power. .-..
1t is said that, while this engraving
was being finished by the engraver
Rosch, the Emperor drove often to see
it. On one occasion several of Rosch's
pet cats ran into the presence of the
sovereign, and from this incident arose
the proverb, "A cat may look at
king. ."-Clara Erskine Clement, in 81.

A Spicy Suit.

We shall shortly have in the courts
Franco Chinese trial, which promises
some of the spiciest Developments. A
Chinaman, who had saved some money
while waiter in cafe, and arrayed
in the most gorgeous Oriental cos
tunes, poised rs q Celestial prince,
made the acquaintance one day in june
of Mile. c. at a concert in the
Champs Elysees. Harassed by her
creditors, who threatened to eject her
from her home, the suppositious
Chinese prince was a perfect godsend.
They had dinner together, during which
the "prince" spoke of his immense
wealth. To believe him he owned half
of the city of Shanghai. As he had for
gotten his pocket-6ook Mile. C. had
to pay the bill. The next day, perceiving
her embarrassed position, he told her he
would give her draft for S00,00o
francs, and drawing from his pocket a
long sheet of Chinese paper scribbled 1t
full of grotes9ue characters. At the
bottom he wrote the following address
in French; ...-
M. Esen-Ang, banker, IS Rue des
Europeans, Shanghai. IS.
AS soon as he departed Mile. c.
reflected that no one here would cash
the draft, and as her creditors would
not wait until remittance should ar
rive from Shanghai, she quickly made
up her mind to leave for the Flowery
kingdom. That same evening she de-
parted from Paris for Marseilles, where
she took passage on the Nadyr. The
voyage lasted forty days. At last she
arrived at Shanghai. and showed the
draft, but no one knew the Chinaman.
There was no Rue des Europeans. The
deceived voyager had the writing on
her slip of paper translated, and it
read:
II am very happy at the attention
which Mile. Hortense G. has shown
me from the moment l made her ac-
quaintance until this morning. That is
why ] have delivered to her this certif-
cate as recommendation.
Paris, June 21, 1888" ...-
Mile. Hortense G. returned in
the steerage. Three days ago she met
the Chinaman in the Place de la Con-
corde. The yellow-skinned visage and
the pig-tail suffered considerably in
the encounter. She has begun suit
against him for 100.0 francs for dam
ages and her voyage to China.--Paris
