jr., who is at the New York Hotel with her baby
and maid, desires the Associated Press to state
in her behalf that there is no existing cause for
the telegrsphed statements that she has sep

ICES a positive denial of the statement that she
has begun a suit for separation, or that any such
suit is in contemplation. The lady expresses
herself mortified that a visit to her mother, Mrs.
Nevine, who resides at the New York Hotel,
should have been construed as the beginning of
the alleged separation between herself and hus-
band. Mrs. Blaine left her husband In good
health and spirits. aud has the same cordial re-
lations to-day with James O.. Blaine, ST., she has
always had. Mrs. Blaine feels aggravated tina,
a few trivial circumstances should have been ex-
