DEATH OF WALKER BLAINE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1j.-Walker Blaine,
examiner of claims of the State department
and eldest son of Hon. James c. Blaine.
secretary of state, died at the family resi-
dence in the old Seward mansion at $50
o o'clock this evening CT acute pneumonia,
superinduced by an attack OF the grip.
He had been i'll only few days and his
death is a sudden and severe shock to an
unusually large circle of friends who were
not aware that he was dangerously i'll, until
this morning, while the family who were all
greatly devoted to him are prostrated with
grief. He was not feeling well
all last week but went TO the de-
partment each day until Friday, when
he became much worse and was compelled
to go home and take his bed. He made
light of his illness and thought his recovery
was only matter of a few days. The sec
retary gave a dinner party Monday night
to number of people prominent in official
society and Walker Blaine was then feeling
so much better that he sat up for some
time chatting with his fathers guests and
walked about the house. Later he caught
an additional cold, which quickly settled on
his lungs and developed into acute pneumo-
MIA last night This morning his condition
was so alarming that all the immediate
relatives of the family were hastily sum
moned home by telegraph He has been
delirous most of the day with an exceed
ingly high temperature and painful labored
respiration.
Walker Blaine was born in Augusta. Me-,
May s, 1870. He first came to Washing
ton to live in 1867. He was graduated
from Yale in 1916, from the
Columbia law school in New York two
years later, He assisted his father i'll the
work which devolved upon him when he be
came secretary of state, and on March 3
last was nominated by President Harrison
examiner of claims. He was young man
OF marked attainments, great tact and de-
cided ability. The regard in which he was
held was shown when his nomination to his
last office was sent into the Senate, that
body, on motion of Senator Edmunds, doing
him the very unusual honor of confirming
the nomination at once without referring it
to a committee.

Ger. He desired to get vast collec-
tons to sort out and sell again, and
hit upon a plan to set the whole
civilized world to go to work for him
free of charge. He preyed on the
sympathies of people by announcing
that an orphan would be cared for
in 1.-THE Syrian orphan home" for
every 1 100000 stamps sent to him.
This worked well; and the next
dodge was the starting of mythical
mission in China, the holy sisters of
which agreed, for every 100000
stamps sent to them, to save from
the laws of the crocodiles of the Vel
low river at least one Chinese baby,
and then educate and Christianize 1t.
The stamps were to be sent, not to
Jerusalem or China, but to Munich
or Stettin The last claim on the
sympathy of the world that has been
made by this German is that for
1 ,OOO,O stamps a home for an old
lady, or an old gentleman in one OF
the three homes-one in London, an
other in New York and the third in
Cincinnati. For half million
stamps bed will be endowed in n
hospital, and for 100000 a home
will be found for an orphan for one
year. There are agencies i'll various
cities to forward stamps to Stettin.
It's estimated that this swindler has
collected over 100, 100000 stamps in
the United State alone and that
these were worth from half million
dollars to three times that amount.

From the History of Lincoln" by

close in The Century, we quote the
following: mo one, not even the
comedian on the stage, could ever
remember the last words of the piece
that were uttered that night-the
last Abraham Lincoln heard upon
earth. The whole performance re-
mains in the memory of those who
heard it a vague phantasmagoria,

The awful tragedy in the box makes
everything else seem pale and unreal
Here were five human beings in a
narrow space-the greatest man of
his time, in the glory of the most
stupendous success in our history,
the idolized chief of nation already
mighty, with illimitable vistas of
grandeur to come; his beloved wife
proud and happy; pair of betrothed
lovers, with all the promise of felicity
that youth, social position, and
wealth could give them; and this
young actor, handsome as Endymion
upon Latmos, the pet of his little
world. The glitter of fame, happi-
ness, and ease was upon the entire
group, but in an instant everything

death was to come on the central
figure of that company-the central
figure, we believe, of the great and
good men of the century. Over all
the rest the blacklist fates lowered
neutrality-suspicious. from which a
mother might pray that kindly death
would save her children in their in
fancy. One was to wander with the
stain of murder on his soul, with the
curses ola world upon his name, with
a price set upon his head, in fright
full physical pain, till he died a dogs
death in a burning barn; the strick-
en- wife was to pass the rest of her
days in melancholy and madness; of
those two young lovers, one was to
slay the other, and then end his life

THE POSTA GE STA MP SWINDLE.

Now and then some one announces
himselfa as the victim of the 100000
postage stamp hoax. 1t is firmly
believed that if 1 100000 stamps are
collected and forwarded to some one,
a bed will be provided for an invalid
boy in some hospital, or a home for
an orphan Christian churches have
been the special victims, and there is
hardly one in England, the United
States, Australia, India or in any
other country, that has not had
several members begging, borrowing
and even stealing postage stamps in
order to make up the million that
will go to clothe and feed some
orphan or old person. This swindle
originated in the fertile brain of
