Ex-senator Henry G. Davis TalkS-Arr. En-
sOr's Opinion.
BALTIMORE, MD, May 17.-Ex-Senator
Henry 6. Davis, the President Of the
West Virginia Central Railway Compa-
ny, and a very warm personal friend Of
James G. Blaine, was at Barnum's Tues
day night, calling on a friend from West
Virginia. He is always very good-tem-
perGd, and at this time was particu-
Iarly chatty. He was deeply inter-
ested in the choice of Democratic
dclegates.at-large in New York, and
showed some desire that Smith NJ.
Weed should be among the number. He
thought the President wanted him to be
selected. Senator Davis acknowledged
that he was also interested in New York; 8
tariff plank. General ]. B. Seth was
chatting with the Senator, and gave him
quiet little dig about the protective
side; but it was nicely turned off with
remark that New Jersey had put
Congressman William Walter Phelps
in the field for President, and
followed it up by saying Mr.. Phelps was
great friend OF Blaine-from whom,
by the way, Senator Davis said he had
lust received n letter. Senator Davis
said the letter from Mr.. Blaine was en-
tirely private, but the handwriting was
as firm as ever, and showed no signs
OF letting down or failing in health.
He judged that Mr.. Blaine's
health was very good. When
asked ifBlaine would be candidate for
the Presidential nomination, he turned
towards Mr.. John T. Ensor, OF Balti'
more, and said, "Here is gentleman
who can answer that question. Will
Blaine be candidate, Mr.. Ensor?"
Mr.. Ensor-He will be elected Presi'
dent.
The two friends OF Blaine then went
Off and had a quiet talk together.

And Died Without ProfesAiOn - Curious
Funeral of an Aged Atheist.
ATLANTA, GA, May l7,--Maior W. 7.
Vim, aged seventy-three years, was
buried in Marietta without any religious
ceremony whatever. Major Winn was
born in 1915, became a lawyer Of State
prominence, was Mayor Of his town sew
eral times, and also served in the Geor-
gia Senate. He had been all his life q
confirmed atheist, which caused grief
among his family and friends, The ILL
ness which ended in his death was long
and painful, and from this his friends ar
gued that God was giving him time TO
make profession OF faith. Every effort
that kindness could prompt was brought
TO bear on him, but to no purpose,
About the last thing he said was TO de-
clare his atheism and TO command that
NO preacher should attend his dying
hours, and his burial should have no re,
liEious service about it, He was buried
by the Odd Fellows, and his dying wish
was respected.
