ful young wife Of James g. Blaine, Jr., have
received the startling intelligence that she
cannot recover from her recently developed
illness Since her removal from the house
Of her friend, Mrs Doremus, IN New York,
to the home Of her parents at 22S West Forty
second street. her condition has changed for
the worse The infammatory rheumatism
with which she was struck down five weeks

ceum Theatre, has defied all the efforts Of
her able physicians The letters Of her
parents TO her relatives here show that they
have almost abandoned hope.
She suffers Great Torture.
Mrs Mary s. Neil an aunt Of Mrs Blaine,
whose home is at Forestdale, but who boards
the greater part Of tho time at the Aldine
hotel in this city, has been in constant com
municntion with Col. and Mrs. Nevins. She
took moro interest than anybody else in the
accomplished young woman's aspirations for
the stage The latest intelligence as to Mrs.
Blaine's condition has so thoroughly alarmed
Mrs. Neil that she intends TO hasten at once
to the bedside Of her niece and remain there
till the end. The severity Of Mrs. Blaine's
illness Is indicated by the statement of her
attendants that it is necessary 10 keep her
under the constant influence Of opiatas, IN
order that she may not be thrown into fatal
spasms by the exeruciating torture Of her
malady.

The relatives Of the young actress are very
bitter in their dcnunciation Of the Blaine
family, and the husband, James G. Blaine,
Jr., in particular. They declare that his
ntemperance and prohigate conduct would

to live with him, even II he had contributed
sufficiently to her support. which he failed
to do. Miss Hopkins cousin of Mrs. Blaine,
who lives ON Eighteenth street near Chest
nut, said:
