The Democrats of New York State have
re-nominated Governor David B. Hill, who
already has the endorsement of the Liquor
Dealers Association and whose picture is
said to adorn nearly every bar room in the
Empire State. Hill has vetoed two high IL
cence bills and hopes to live officially to veto
three or four more. He is the unblushing
friend Of the organized rum power in the
greatest State in the Union, a State extensive
enough in domain and people to make ma
ton by itself. Warner Miller, his Republi-
can opponent, has proclaimed hi.nself une-
quivocally the champion of the sober senti-
ment of New York that believes that the
power of the saloon must be checked. 1t is
the home against the saloon, the church
against the brewery, Miller against Hill, Re-
publicanism against Democracy. A better
issue, better array or a better battle-ground
could not be conceived.

The latch string of the White House isn't
hanging out any more to Commissioner of
Navigation Morton. He has run the free
trade ship hard and fast aground in Maine,
and the administration will have no further
use for his political services. Perhaps he
may be permitted to attend to his legitimate
duties now, and to learn how to distinguish
an East Indiaman from canal boat.

1t must be conceded that Maine does not
fancy Mr. Putnam's agency in the fishery
treaty, although this treaty will not here
after, we think, be condemned to as great a

fully debated, and the Republicans have a
right to claim the verdict as one condemning

A Tarantuia OF Uncertain Age and n von-
cradle Queen boo,

| cradle Queen Boo.
In an interesting communication
by Rov. DE- IL C. McCook before the
Academy of Natural Sciences on the
possibilities of prolonged lifo among
the lower orders Of animals, an ao-
count was given Of tho lifo history Of
fine specimen of tho spider, common
ly known as tho American tarantula.
Tho animal was givOn to him in 1882
by DR.. Joseph Lcidy. 1t WAS then APP
parently eighteen months or two years
old, and it lived in captivity until July
of the present year. At the period Of
its death, therefore. 1t must have been
at least seven years old, and may have
boon eight having thus attained tho
distinction of being tho most aged
spider known to science. How long
this species and other spiders gener-
ally live In their natural habitat is not
know, but human protection IN tho
present instance probably aided to
prolong life. 1t was kept first in n
glass globe and afterward in wood
en- box with glazed sides and sliding |
glass door at tho top. One end was
filled with dry soil, which was
slightly compacted and heapsd up;
the other end was sparsely covered
with earth. 1t was ut all times liber-
ally supplied with water, and its food
consisted Of live flies, grasshoppers
and lOcus,s. During confinement the
tarantula shed its skin several times. a
process ap parently attended withsomo
danger. as it was during such a change
the creature died, and once before, on
similar occasion. 1t was found APP
parently dead, though It afterward
revived. 1t is possible that 1t was too
much exhausted by long previous fast
ing to endure the severe strain which
evidently is laid upon the organism In
tho act of melting. The spring of 1887
was backward one. and some diff
Guilty was experienced in procuring In
scots for food from tho immediate
The annu al supply Of
and locusts was very
lac, and it may be that had the spider
been strengthened by n few weeks
generous feeding previous to It's last
mott 1t might have been still alive.
In connection with tho general slb-
Iect of tho prolonged life of insects.
Dr.. McCook stated that during re-
cent visit TO Sir John Lubbock at his
house in London no inquired after a

Man, Not Tipping the Scales at 100.

New YORK, April "a special to the
Herald from Boston says: DIR. Winthrop
F. Haywood, who has been three years In
Vienna, studying medicine, returned to
Boston last Saturday. Since his complet-
ing his studies DR.. Haywood has been tray-
cling on the con ntinent and passed the larger
portion of last winter in Florence where he
frequently saw and talked with Mr.. Blaine,
who is now living there.
How about Mr.. Blaine" asked the
Herald reporter of DR.. Haywood. "ls he
rs i'll as reported, or is the story simply
campaign liey
'Mr. blaine is not sick in the sense of
requiring constant medical care, replied
DR. Haywood, but he is far from being
well, and | believe he has a progressive
malady. which will cause his death in
short time unless he gets relief, OF which
there is little prospect
What ails him.
Though was not called to attend him
professionally, from what he said TO me
and from his general habits and appear
ance, have no hesitation in saying that he
has diabetes. which will progress to a fatal
termination. Why. he has lost 20 pounds
of flesh inside of two months. When he
went across last June he was plump man,
weighing nearly, il not quite 200 pounds.
Now he is a shrivelled, bandy-legged old
man, who will not tip the scales at 100
pounds. His face is thin and blue, his
shoulders are stopping, those big, full eyes
are hollow and underscored with blue
bands, and that big under lip is as pale as
piece of comona marble. No one can
form any idea of how he has failed this
winter"
..is he able to be mp and about?"
"Yes. but he takes extra good care OF
himself and cannot endure much exercise.
He told me that about all he lived upon
was the bluest kind of skim milk, which
he took to supply the loss of cassie and al
bumneaids. He assured me that his reason
for declining the nomination was that he
felt presentment that he was going to die
and did not wish to incur the arduous la
bors of a campaign fearing be would not
hold up under the strain"
''Do you think there is any probability Of
his dying in a short timer"
mo, not for six months or year, though
l think ne cannot with the best of care sur
vive over two years"
The Herald also prints the following
special: Augusta, Me-, April IA pri-
vate letter received from Mr.. Blaine by a
gentleman in this city to-day says the
Blaine party will leave Florence for Paris
in two weeks. Early in May they will visit
Sweden and Norway and sail from South
hampton for New York about June 10.
