HE Is WASTING AWAY,
Mr.. Blaine Will Probably Not Live
More Than Six Months or
a Year,
Says DR.. Haywood Who Often Met
and COnversed With Him
at Florence.
He Says Mr.. Blaine Is Il Shriveled
STOPPING. BandyLegged
Old Man.

New YoRK.-A special to the Herald
from Boston says: DR.. Winthrop F. Hey
wood, who had been three years in Vienna
studviug medicine, returned to Boston
last Saturday. Since Ompleting his
studies DIR. Haywood has been travelling
on the continent, and passed the larger
portion OF last winter Ii Florence, where
ne frequently saw ana talked with Mr.
Blaine. who is now living there.
How about Mr.. Blaine?" asked the
Herald representative. SIS he as Ill as
reported, or is the story simply a cam
paign ie:'
"Mr. Blaine is not SICK in the sense of
requiring constant medical care" replied
the doctor, but he is far from being
well, and believe he has a progressive
.nalady which will cause his ieath in a
short time uuless he gets relief, of which
there is Iittle prospect"
What ais him?" although l was
not called to attend him professionally,
from what he said to me and from his
general habits and appearances l have
no hesitancy in saying that he has dia-
betes, which will progress to fatal ter
minatiou. Why, he has lost twenty
pounds of flesh inside of two months.
Nnen ne went across laSG y une ne was
plump man, weighing nearly, if not quite
200 pounds. Now he is shriveled,
handy legged Cd man, who will not tip
the scales at 160 pounds. His face is
thin and blue; his shoulders are stopping
those big, full eyes are hollow and under
scored with blue bands, and that big
uRder lip is as pale as a piece of COM
mon marble. No one can form any idea
of how be has failed this winter"
"Is he able to be up and about?"
Yes, but he takes extra good care of

He told me that about all he lived up
on was the bluest kind of skinned milk,
which he took to supply the loss of
caseine spd albuminoid5. He assured
me that his reason for declining the
nomination was that he felt PRESENT.
ment that he was going to die and did
rot wish to incur the arduous labors of a
campaign, fearing ne could not hold up

DO you think there is any possibility
of his dying in q short timer"
"NO, nor for six months or a year,
though l think he cannot, with the best
of care, survive over two years."

IN GENERAL.
DROPPED 10000 FEET.

W ,I.derfu1 Jump Made From His Bal
loon By Professor Hogan al jackson, Mich.
Prof. Hogan made d magnificent leap
from his balloon. The first attempt at an
ascension was a failure, but the second
effort was success and the AR ship soon
reached height estimated at nearly 10,-
600 feet. At this elevation the balloon
seemed to stand still, and by the aid of
glasses Hogan could be seen edging over
the side of the ear. Suddenly cry went
up, Hes jumpedH and the crowds
craned their necks to soe the man dash
himself to pieces. The parachute failed
to work at first, and the daring eronaut
was seen shooting to the earth with
lightning peed- A moment later, how
ever, the umbrella shaped life-preserver
opened its wings and Hogan's rapid de-
scent was checked. From that point
he dropped slowly, and reached the earth
safely i'll four minutes at point
about one and half miles from the
city. The ol-hardy man dropped 500
feet before his parachute opened.

POOR LITTLE KHNnY.

The republican press is in ecstacy over
the result of the election in Rhode Island.
Il. c. Taft has been elected governor by
l,9s4 majority. One would ho led by the
cackliuE TO suppose that Rhode Island
was and always had been democratic
state. Whereas, fer president in 1872, it
gaze S,336 republican plurality. In 1876
it went republican by 5,o75 for prosidene.
In 1873 for governor tho republican ma
iority was 3,I99. For president in 1880
the republican majority was 5,4I0. For
governor in 1881 the republican majority
was G,O93. In 1SS2 for governor the re
publican majority was 1915. For COVER
nor in 1888 the republican plurality was
2,sG5. For president IN 1881 the republi
can majority was 6,435. For governor in
1885 the republican majority was , 77S
Fer governor in 1856 the republican ma
jority was 1896. in 1887 Davis, demo
crat, WAS elected by 2,9S4 plurality; being
the first aud only democratic victory
since 1872. From the foreg ding it will
be seen that Rhode Island is and has been
most decidedly republican state; and
there Is no more reason for considering
it otherwise, than there is OF supposinS
that Wisconsin OF Ohio are democratic
states

The rXeavatlnns AZ Athens.
In.inn T'..ie-ranh

The excavations at Athens have result
ed in bringing to light the head OF man
of her>ic size, carved in porous stone.
1t was found on the Acropolis, at the
southeast corner of the Parthenon. The
hair and beard are, as usual, painted blue
and the face red. What Is remarkable,
however, is that the pupils of the eye are
not only painted In, but also delineated
with the chisel. This head which forms
one of the most ancient sculptures ever
found upon the Acropols, will attract
considerable attention both from the
style of workmanship and the material of
which it is made It appears to be the
head OF triton, Il e rest of the body in
the form of serpent, ending in the tail
of fish, having been found a few days
before near the same place.

LAW OF STRIKES.

Judge Love, of the United States dis
trict court in iowa, thus expounds the
law governing strikes:
l. Railroad employees have right TO
quit work.
2. But they have no right to prevent
others from taking their places, nor TO
interfere with the operation of the rail
road.
3. railroad company must haul the
freight of every other road on equal
terms.
4. 1t is 40 excuse for the company to
say that its EN- ployes will not handle the
cars of a road on which there is strike.
8. Such COMPANY must obey the law
of the land, not the order of the Brother
hood of Engineers.
6. If it refuses the traffic OF another
road it may be ordered to carry by the
courts, and, moreover, is liable to suits
for damages at the hands of shippers.

PROTECTION AN OUTRAGE.

The talk about protection and beating
the democracy on that issue among re-
publicans, is not nearly SO loud and en-
phatic as it was The bosses have DIS
covered that there is "A the party
strong counter current of opinions; SO
strong in fact that it is sweeping the
feet of those trying to stem 1t. from
under them. party that attempts to
force its way against the common sense
of its own people, may succeed for
time, bat patience will not endure for
ever, and appearances indicate that the
republican party must modify its ex-
treme demands upon its rank and file,
or it will soon find itself pinched
in its own camp between the devil
and the deep sea. reduction of the
tariff on the leading necessaries of life,
has got to come. Extortion on the part
of capital has been carried so far that the
most subservient partizan begins to
squirm. The course pursued has been
American in the extreme; that is, the
greed has been so pronounced that 1t
could not refrain from taking the grlst
for the toll. A wiser policy on the part
of capital would have been TO divide with
labor on the score of profits; but this it
has not been inclined 30 do, and
it now finds its interests confronted
by general feeling of dissatisfaction.
Nothing grows faster than greed
when it is well fed. 1t is the meanest
element in human nature, the most exact
ing, the most heartless, and the most
sudacioUs. Hence, the matter of cn!ti
Veting or stim mulating it in any country
is against humanity and reason, The
practice OF bestowiDg special favors up
on any class in this country must stop.
It has been carried to an extent already
which threatens the overthrow OF our
form Of government. The doctrine of
equal rights which is the basis of our
structure, has been undermined by spec
iaI laws enacted in the interests of cqpi-
tai. The whole fabric begins to tremble
and show signs of weakness. Too many
have been provided with luxurious ac-
commodations in the upper story. The
element that must live on the
ground floor, and in the base ment, ap-
praciates its situation and the disregard
that is shown for it. The workers see
that the lordly drones cat up the honey
and devour the products OF their hard
toll, and thai no redre So has been prOvid- !
ed them. There is no use of talking. |
Things have reached or are fast reaching |
"A crisis. Something must be done and |
that speedily, to avert the wrath that has |
boen kindlCd by sense of outrage. The |
great mass OF the American people find |
themselves thus early in the history of |
their country Mt the mercy of n power
that has been conferred on capital. Turn
which way they may, and they find every
avenue to prosperity iD the hands of cor
porations and combinations. There ia no
escape from the tribute they exact. Pay !
il, or stand back, is their motto. No, the |
people will not endure this tyranny much |
longer, party or no party.

W. w. Haseltine, the well known lawyer
of Stevens Point, Wis, was shot dead in
the street Tuesday by John d. Curran.
In 1885 Haselti1e shot and killed A. G..
Morse, Cashier of the First National
Bank, for undue intimacy with mis- wife.
He was tried ard acquitted on the ground
of emotional insanity. Curran was the
intimate companion of Annie Park, n
friend of Mrs. Haseltine's, and was, as
Raseltine charged, partially instrumental
in bringing about the social downfall of
Mrs. Haseltine. After the trial, the two
men met in Milwaukee and tragedy was
barely averted. It is said that both
had threatened to kill each other on
SIGHT.
