A Spirit Message.

James G. Blaine was a conspicuous figure at
the theater last week. Mr.. Blaine is usualIv
conspicuous. but be attracted more than usual
attention on this occasion. He sat in a bo1
near the stage, and watched Hermann passing
silver dollars through the crown of hat. and
doing other interesting and impossible things.
Presently the spirit hand was brought out and
placed on the glass table. 1t raped out an
swers to several questions in mysterious man.
ner Then Hermann said: "Will James g.
Blaine be the next Secretary of State?, and
the hand slowly raped out the answer. Yes"
The audience applauded tumultuously and
every eye i'll the house was turned in the di-
rection of the statesman from Maine But he
sat quite unmoved and apparently unconcerned.
When the performance was over he went be-
hind the scenes at Herrmann's invitation and
examined the machinery used in the display of
the magician's black art .
Nothing attracts an audience as much as a
local gag" of this character. Allusions tomen
in public life made in topical songs or inter-
polated dialogue are always sure of a hearty
welcome from a Washington audience. The
comedian often labors under a peculiar disad-
vantage here, however. One of the fayorite
subjects for the topical song is the recent
election or the President or his wife and il is
frequently necessary to cut out a verse OF two
from favorite song because the President or
Mrs. Cleveland are in the theater. No one has
any inclination or desire to offend the Presi-
dent and his charming wife, and nothing that
could be distasteful to them is ever said or
sung on the stage while they are IN the theater

A "Reminiscences.

A figure that attracted some attention and
comment on the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives Wednesday was that of ex-senator
Ferry, of Michigan. Mr.. Ferry came over from
the Senate Chamber with the members of the
Senate to witness the counting of the electoral
votes. What a contrast there was between the
peaceful regular proceedings of Wednesday
and the tumult that marked the adjournment of
the joint session II years ago, when in the
midst of bowling mob of angry men, Senator
Ferry announced that Rutherford b. HAYES
had been elected President of the United
States. There were many familiar faces to re-
mind him of that day. Randall, who as
Speaker of the House, had sat beside him when
he declared the result of the ballot; Blackburn.
now aSenator, but then one of the leaders of
the filibustering in the House; Springer, who
helped Blackburn to delay the proceedings nm
til Congress had sat in joint session without
adjournment for two weeks During that ses-
sion there was constant danger that the coun-
try would be plunged in domestic strife. On
Wednesday the proceedings were as quiet as
though the House was passing batch of PEN
sion bills. Nothing disturbed the common
place character of the proceedings but the
crowd in the galleries and about the floor.

The Spanish Royal Family.

The King of Spain, Alfonso XIII, not
yet three years old, is rosy-cheeked,
fair child of bright disposition and
more than ordinary quickness and GU
riosity for his age. He has been taught
to give military salute, and his great
est delight is to witness the relief of the
guard from the palace windows at 10
in the morning. Old courtiers say he
has strong likeness to the Bourbon
portraits in the Madrid museum. His
eldest sister, Dona Maria de les Merce-
des, Princess of the Asturias, is now
eight years old and is tall, graceful
child, very fair, with features like her
mother. She is not so bright, it is
said, as her blue-eyed, blonde sister,
Dona Maria Theresa, who is only six
years old and rather delicate. Queen
Christina herself is now 81 years old
and has been q widow for three years
and half. She is tall, sleEder, very
graceful, and stately in her carriage; (;
her manners and her elegance are
worthy of her Austrian and Viennese
training, and though showing much
kindness and affability to all-foreign-
ers and natives alike-who approach
her, she is very queenly in her bearing
and glance when she chooses.

LETTER FROM GErTYsBURd, PAL
Wednesday, the 18th of June, was Michigan's
day ON the historical battlefield of Gettysburg
IL was the occasion of the dedication OF monu-
ments which have been erected by the Wolver-
inc State to her soldiers who fell In the sanguin-
airy conflict OF July l, e. and Q, 1868. There were
present from Michigan Gov. Luce and stan, ex-
Gov. Blair, Gen. Alger, and about 900 veterans.
Assistant Secretary Willets headed a delegation
OF Michigan men from Washington.
A slight departure was made from the pro-
gramme which had been prepared for the occa-
sion. Gov. Beaver OF Pennsylvania, who was to
have been present and receive the monuments
on behalf OF the Gettysburg Monumental Asso-
citation, was unavoidably absent, his time being
fully occupied with work in connection With the
Conemaugh Valley disaster Gen. Luther Trow-
bridge, OF Detroit, delivered the memorial speech
for all the organizations that represented Mich
igan In the battle. Col. George III. Briggs OF
Grand Rapids, Chairman Of the Michigan Monu-
ment Commission, rendered Tie monuments TO
Gov. Luce, who in q suitable speech, accepted
them in behalf of Michigan He in turn deliv-
cred thePa to tho Gettysburg Monumental Asso-
citation, the Hon. IL. Mcpherson OF tho assocfa-
ton making the speech of acceptance.
The Grafton of the day was delivered by Aus
tin Blair, Michigan's war Governor, one OF. three
Union war Governors now living. Ex-Governor
Blair Is seyenty-one years Of age and is not In
robust health but continues TO practice law at
Jackson, Mich. His address was remarkably
strong, and he paid a noble tribute To the Mich
igan soldiers.

graves OF the Michigan dead buried on the bat
tlefeld were decorated with flowers prior to the
exercises. Representatives of each of the vari-
GUS regiments that participated in the battle
and who were present held services Of n Memo
rial-Day character at their respective monu-
ments An interesting feature of the proceed
ings was the decoration of the grave of John
Burns, whose bravery in the memorable fight
has been immortalized by favoritc poet. He
fought within the lines of the Twenty-fourth
Michigan, and members of the regiment who
were present bedecked his grave with flowers.
