which perhaps accounts for the more mat

"The conductor expressed much sympa-
thy for the young woman, and did not speak
in at all complimentary terms Of young
Blaine.
"This little incident went to show the
general sympathy that is felt for Mrs.
Blaine to-day, even though the separation
of Mrs. Blaine from her husband occurred
some months ago.
..Their claim Is that young Mrs. Blaine
deliberately lett her husband and returned
to New York, saying that she would not
live in Augusta. The facts about this mat
ter seem TO be the Sc, at least in the opinion
of the citizens OF Augusts. Last summer
when young Mrs. Blaine Joined her husband
at his home In Augusta she was prepared
to live there and Try to make herself as
contented as possible. II Is said that Mrs.
ward the wife Of her youngest son, and has
never forgiven her for running away with
him In the way she did. Al the tiae In
question Mr.. Blaine, sr., was out west, and
there was nobody ut home excepting young
Mrs. Blaine and her husband Mrs. Blame,
sr., seems 10 have laid her plans before
hand. She went to Jimmy and told him
that be was not looking very well and gave
| him money TO 20 TO Bar IIarbor for short
| trip. His wife begged him, with tears IN
| her eyes, when she heard OF his intention,
not to leave her alone in the house with
| her molher-in-law; but Jimmy laughed at
| his wife's apprehensfons and said that she
need have no fear Of his mother. There
| upon he went 10 Bar Harbor, promising to
return the following Saturday.
HThen came the problem OF what young
| Mrs. Blaine could do. She had herself and
| child to support and no substantial source
/ of income, her father having large family
| and a comparatively small income. At this
| ju1cture Gen. Pryor was again consulted
| and upon learning that Mrs. Blaine, ir.,
| had talent for theatTieals and had already
| made success on the amateur stage, In
quired further into she subject, and finding
| that she could Immediately secure good
| engagement at a fair salary, he advised her
| to adopt the stage rs profession. Mrs
i Blaine as a consequence. has a contract
already signed by which she Is guaranteed
an Immediately salary, percentage OF the
l profits and the expenses OF herself, mel
| child, her maid and secretary for period
| OF two years. At the end OF that time
| however, the manager reserves the right q
renew the contract with her IL he should
| see fit.
tItis pretty certain that young Blaine i

I at Him would think that he was at least 2;
/ or "a. Even OF II lie had the mature ap

minister who performed the marriage cere

"That Mrs. Blaine, however, Is still font
OF her husband those who know her have
no doubt. What young Blaine's feeling
may be toward bis wife no one can do more
than conjecture. He does not seem eapa
