BLAKE IS A BLACKMAILER.
The Adopted Son of Millionaire
Lodged in Jail

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 16.-Arthur
c. Blake was arrested to-day on COM
plant of Arthur German for attempt
ing to blaefmail. He was taken on a
requisition from the governor of Kan
sas to Kinsley, Kan, where Mr.. Cor
man has resided for some time and
where a special grand jury will investi-
gate the charges tomorrow. Arthur
German is something more than a mill
ionaire. For some unexplained reason a
violent attachment sprang up between
him and Blake during the formers visit
to Kansas City. Blake was at that
time bell-boy at the CentropoliS hotel,
and the announcement that he had been
adopted by the millionaire caused de-
cided sensation. Gorham den ed the
adoption, but Blake has lived ever since
after the style of the idle son Of mill
ionaire, At Los Angeles, recently, he
was arrested for forging Gorham's name
to check for $500, but the case was
dropped. He then came to Kansas
City, and has until the hour of his ar
rest to-day lived at the Centropolis
hotel, occupying parlor A and cutting
wide swath generally with the ostenta-
tious display of his money. When he
ran short of funds, recently, he wrote
several threatening letters to Gorham,
so the latter alleges, demanding that
his empty purse be replenished. On

JOEL'S JOi,I,ITIES,

JOHN GILPIN'S unfortunate mistake
fin borrowing his neighbours racer to
ride to a country picnic had scarcely
more comical results than JOEL HEAT
woLE'S endeavor TO straighten out Min
neSOta politics to the satisfaction of the
White house Incumbent. Our young
N0rthheld friend had very little idea OF
the kind of a race he was going to ride
when he started out, or we suspect that
he would have mounted horse of
another color. His assumed task of act
ing as sponsor for the Minnesota Office
seekers has got him into the predica-
ment the Light Brigade found them
selves in at Balaklava-cannon are vol
leying in front, rear and flank. He pre-
sumed too much on his nativity. An
Indiana man is all right with this ad
ADMINISTRATION so long as he doesn't at
tempt the role Of dictator; but if he
does, then he must expect the fate of
LUCIFER, to be hurled from the battle
ments and fall to rise no more.
Mr.. HEATWoLG'o offenSe was in tell
ing the truth. In his correspondence
with President HARRISON and Secretary
HALFoRD he gave an accurate state
ment of Republican politics in Mime
sofa. But it so happened that it was
not the truth they wanted. for that
would Interfere with the plan they had
agreed upon for distributing federal
patronage in Minnesota. President
HARRISON got Minnesota'S seven elect
oral votes in lump. so he was not
bothering his mind about what part of
the state the bulk of the popular vote
came from. With him one district is as
another. He is looking forward. not
backward. 1t makes but little differ
ence to him what Minnesota Republic
cans did in 1888. The uppermost Ques-
ton in his mind is to know what they
are going to do in 1892. For that reason
he had shaped out plan of patronage
distribution for Minnesota that would
secure the accomplishment of two dar-
ling objects; first, to secure a Mime
sofa delegation in the next national con-
vention that would favor his own re-
nomination: and, second, to work up
legislature that would send Mr.. WIN
DOM to the senate from this state.
The only way that these objects
could be accomplished was to appoint
men TO federal uffices in Minnesota who
would be subservient to the HARRISON
WINDoM-WAsHBURN combination. MIR.
HEATwoLE's plan would have dis
arranged all this, and consequently
the administration spat upon it. That
is why he is now In disgrace with his
party, and compelled to diet upon the
hemlock juice of disappointment.
MIR. HEATwoIE told the truth, and
for his consolation we remind him that,
though crushed to earth, truth will rise
again. The eternal years of God are
hers, and tho may not live to see
your vindication, JOEL, it will surely

A Scranton man who gives his atten-
ton to raising pigeons says that the only
bigamist he has ever seen among pig
cons is male now owned by him. Dur
ing the breeding season the bigamist
maintained two separate wives and
households. devoting just about as much
attention to one as to the other. He
helped raise the broods of each female,
and his affection for each was equal.
The double duty kept him very busy,
but he seemed to take pride in having
so much responsibility.

West Haven, Conn.,, recently, at tine age

house are bullet holes made by the Brit

And upon the plain

Woke her from her dream.

been prosecuted. and that a warrant
against the Earl of Euston had not been

WALKER BLAINE's DEATH.

1t was bitter disappointment to Mr..

seemed to be within his grasp. But all

nothing TO compare with the great

that memorable mourning of DAVID
over ABSoLoM, because in this instance
the son was worthy Of the fathers love
and confidence. WALKER BLAINE was
god boy in the best sense of the
term. and as dutiful a son as ever
blessed home. He had i'll all verify
become the staff of his fathers de-
clining years, and it was to have
him constantly near him that
MIR. BLAINE exposed himself to
the charge of nepotism when he made a
place for WALKER in the state depart
IN mt. He needed him to lean on in his
old days, and the boy duly appreciated
his fathers condition, for he was always
there by his fathers side to give him a
helping hand. One son had married a
rich girl and gone off TO enjoy his
wealth. Another one turned out to be
luckless wight who is more trouble
than help to the family. So that
WALKER was all that he had left. And
nav that he has been cut down in the
bloom of youth, the aged statesman sits
by the boys coffin. crying in the an
guish OF soul, "My son, my son, would
