at is pretty certain that young Blaine is
only 20 years old to-day, though any one to
look at him would ink that he was at
least % or "a. Even at II he had the mature
look of man several years older, and it is
said that his wife at the time of their mar
riage did not know how young he was and
that in response to a question from the
minister who performed the marriage cere-
mony he stated simply that he was not
yet 81. Mrs. Blaine at this time was 20.
That Mrs. Blaine, however, is still fond
of her husband those who know her have
no doubt What young Blaine's feelings
may be towards his wife no one can do more
than conjecture. He does not seem capable
of any husbandly or parental feeling. His
only amusement at home were games of
pool during the day time and few social
games Of whist during the evening. 1t is the
general impression, however, that If they
had had money the young COUPLE would
have lived happily together and that even
now young Blaine would return and live
with his wife again if be had money to sup
port her, or if his father would M Ike him
reasonable allowance.
I'm Augusta it is thought that Mr..
Blaine's refusal to make a more liberal al
lowance for his son is an indication that he
is not a rich man as he Is popularity sup
posed to be. Young Blaine's venture in
going TO the Watervi lie LOcomo i've Works
TO learn the profession of a practical en-
giueer is looked upon askance, both in
Augusta and IN other localt es where his
past life is known. The idea undoubtedly
emanated from Emmons Blaine, VINO is a
SUPERINTENDENT Of a railroad in the west. 1t
IS not impossible that the elder Blaine fav-
ored this project, having in view the good
effect il might have upon the general pub
lie. Jimmy Bane's best friends give him
about year to remain at the Watervllle
works during which time he Is not likely to
gain any vast amount of knowledge OF the
profession.
"In the matter of young Blaine's separa-
ton from his wife the Blaine family has
adopted the policy Of saying little or moth

der the direction Of Prof. David Belasco, OF
the Lyceum theater and will not appear on
the stage until sometime next fall. 1t has
not been decided as yet as to what parts she
will ESSAY. but she is knowl to favor the
higher class Of comedy. Mrs. Blaine's first
appearance was at Washington in the opera
OF Paul and Virginia, ami she has very
nleasant voice but lacks the physical
strength Of appearing in opera.
ut will be remembered that Mrs Blame

her were so marked that her sister WHO was
with her, thought their visit TO Augusta
had better be cut snort, aud preparatio4s
we're made TO return to New York. But
when tue train left Augusta the young
ladies found that Blaine was passenger on
the same train with them, nor did he leave
them till they reached the CITY. Inc IolIoW-
inc night he took dinner with the Nevins
family AZ the Now York hotel. The. next
day the young couple got married aud
went to Boston. Young Blaine then re-
turned TO Augusta TO make his peace with
his family, aud Mrs. Blaine returned 70
