Rl.ln. Hears the News.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. 26.-Mr. Blaine left his room to day for the first time since his arrival from Boston. He had not yet suff ciently recovered from the effects of his ill., ness to be allowed to go outdoors, He was gan's death. He consented to give the re- porter who called upon him some reminis- cences of his acquaintance with the general. He first mst General Logan in 1863 when the latter had just been summoned to Wash ington from his command in the field. 'tThe President introduced me to the general and we had very brief talk," continued MT. Blaine. q remember that after General Logan had retired the Pres ident eulogized him highly. l am not the one, however, to speak of his mill tary rank. That should be done by his brother officers and by the veterans who now mourn his death. They knew him as their beloved leader in war and faithful friend in peace. History has, think, definitely as signed General Logan his military rank, the highest of the volunteer officers in the army of the Union.p MT. Blaine went on to say that bis intimate acquaintance with General Logan began when the latter entered Con- gross in 1866 and remained unsullied by single unkind thought to this day. In making this statement, Mr- Blaine was em- phatie and explicit and stated that all reports of rivalries or jealousies between himself and the general were totally unfounded. MT. Blaine highly eulogized General Logan's devotion to duty and fear less adherence to his belief as to what was the right course General Logans loss to the Republican party, added MT. Blaine, was too great to be estimated. His strength with the volunteer soldiery was upeqqalled by any other statesman. No man had exhibited so eminently the dual character of military and political leader MT. Blaine concluded by expressing his deep sense of the personal loss of friend.

Bartley Campbell's famous play of ''My Partner" will be produced at Manager Walls house tomorrow nigth by Louis Aldrich, who has received great praise all over the country. An exchange says: fMy Partner'' is a four act melodrama, introducing twelve persons and depicting aspects and incidents of real life in California in days before the war. It is very strong piece. The effort has been to deal with elemental passions and real per sons and to paint picture of tragedy and heroism upon the tumultuous background of turbulent standardization, and this ob
 ject has been accomplished with startling force and unusual skill. The working of the serious portion of the story, especially in the first half of the piece, is splendidly strong.

poverty is the moral poverty which per-

ought to know better. An American
in England is often shocked at the.
harsh tone in whick Arvants are ordered
