coming Presidential campaign, provided they

Recent conventions in Arkansas, Texas,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Maine
show Enthusiastically that the tide is setting
toward Mr.. Blaine with a force that nothing
but an absolute and unqualified refusal on
his part can arrest To be sure Ohio has ex-
pressed preference for Sherman, but 1t was
a sort of perfunctory preference, the off
spring of local pride, rather than the result
of any deep-seated conviction that Sherman
would be the best man to nominate. Indeed
the most careless observer could not fail to
discover that beneath the surface in that
convention there was deep undercurrent of
feeling in favor of Blaine, which was with
difficulty repressed at Columbus, but which is
sure to manifest itself at Chicago unless it is
conclusively settled before the convention
meets that Mr.. Blaine will il no event ac-
cept a nomination. There can be no doubt

might have been construed as an absolute

candidate whom the mass of the Republicans
or even large part Of them did not want, it
has been construed simply as declaration
that he did not seek the nomination and
should make no efforts to secure it, 1t has
net weakened the desire of the Republicans
that he shall be their leader, nor, apparently,
has it shaken in the least their intention of
making him their leader. Unless, therefore,

dates of Royalty.
DR.. Radcliff was the most celebrated
physician Of England in Queen Anne's
time.
He amassed very large fortune, and
was for many years the physician to the
Queen as well as to most Of the English NO
bility. For some reason the Queen took a
dislike to him at one time, and dismissed
him as Court physician In her last ILL
ness, however, she sent for him.
He refused to obey the summons, declar-
ing ssslnce her Majesty's case is so desper-
ate and her distemper incurable, hardly
think it proper to give her any disturbance
in her last moments, so near at hand, but
rather let her die as easy as possible"
DR.. Radcliff observed, a short time before
his death, ''when was young and yet un-
skilled in medicine, possessed at least
twenty remedies for every disease; but,
now, since have grown old in the art OF
healing, know more than twenty diseases
for which I have not even single rem
edy."
The late DR.. Holland, who was an edu-
Gated physician, some years before he died,
said in Scribner's Monthly: 'sIt is fact
that many Of the best proprietary medicines
OF the day are more successful than many
physicians, and most Of them were first dis
covered or used in actual medical practice.
When, however, any shrewd person, know
ing their virtue and foreseeing their popu-
larity, secures and advertises them, in the
opinion Of the bigoted, all virtue went out
of them.''

scribed any medicine, wrote to the propri-

her shoes to William Van Iderstine's

vigorously, he spilled out a pair Of dia-
mond earrings, two cluster rings. two
solitaire rings. and a handsome cluster
brooch. After giving way to astonish-

gathered up the precious jewelry and
fastened to Mrs. Henriques' house.
