WALKER BLAINE DEAD.
The Eldest Son of the Secretary
of State u Victim of
Pneumonia,
The Dread Disease, as Usual,
Did Its Work Quickly
but Surely.
Until a Few Hours of Death no Alarm
Was Felt as to His Condition
Short Sketch of His Life.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-WalkerB Blaine,
eldest son of Secretary Blaine and solic-
itor of the state department, died at 8
O'Clock p. m. of acute pneumonia, in the
35th year of his age. Around the death
he'd were Secretary Blaine, Mrs. Blaine,
his brothers Emmons and James and
Miss Dodge.
Mr.. Walker Blaine was taken ill with
a cold at his Office in the state depart
ment OF Friday morning, and was so
much indisposed that he never came to his
Office afterwards. At first it was thought
that he had only the prevailing influenza,
but his cold developed into pneumonia,
which rapidly became worse. He was
not, however, thought to be in a critical
condition until Wednesday morning,
when his symptoms wonld not yield to
treatment. During Thursday night he
was delirious. and remained in the same
condition until Wednesday morning,
when he appeared slightly better and
conscious fora brief time. The improve
ment, however, was but temporary. His
ACNCA AiCicdoSu, HIS Dreaming DtCdille
more labored, and at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon for the first time
his family seemed to realize his extreme
critical condition. A consultation of
physicians was held at 4 o'clock and it
was decided that the patient was past
medical aid. He continued to sink
gradually, after remaining unconscious
for nearly t%wenty-four hours when the
end came.
Walker Blaine was graduated from
Yale college in 1876 and, studying law,
received his diploma from Columbia
college, N. Y, in 1878. In 1881, while
Garfield was OH his death bed, he sent
for Walker Blaine and appointed him
third assistant secretary of state, saying
that he appreciated his ability and de-
sired to show it. After serving in this
capacity very acceptably for nearly a
year he was appointed on the Alabama
claims commission where he served with
great credit from 1882 to 1885. On the
advent of the present administration he
was appointed solicitor of the state de-
partment, a position which he also filled
with great credit and ability.
Mr.. Blaine was frank and of genial
disposition, a man of magnetism and
ability, he was personally popular with
all whom he came in contact, socially or
in business matters.

Lasting soap.Bubbles.

Blowing soap-bubbles may be con-
sidered mere play. but for those who
have an eye for the blending and har-
mony OF beautiful colors 1t is not only
interesting but instructive. In order
to study the blending and harmony Of
the colors, it is necessary that the bub-
bles shall last for some time. To make
soap bubbles that will last for several
hours is easy enough If the following
liquid be used:
Dissolve one part by weight of Mar
settles soap, cut into thin slices, in
forty parts of distilled water. and filter.
Call the filtered liquid A, and mix two
parts Of pure glycerine with one part
Of the solution A, in temperature of
sixty.six degrees Fahrenheit and,
after shaking them together long and
violently, leave them to rest for some
days.
A clear liquid will settle, with q
turbid one above. With a sirhon suck
the lower from beneath the upper, tax
ing the utmost care not to carry down
any Of the turbid liquid to mix with
the clear fluid.
Bubbles blown with this will last
several hours. even in the open afr.
The mixed liquid may also be filtered
after standing twenty-four hours.

long Walks In the Wet Destroy the

A writer, In answer to the question,
s.Are more shoes worn out in wet than
In dry weatherp" saye there are more
actually worn out particularly at the
bottoms, when the weather is fac; but
the destruction of shoes is at least 25
per cent greater during wet spells. In
the former case the shoes have not the
protection of the rubber. and they
grind out rapidly; but then. again. in
stormy seasons hundreds OF pairs Of
shoes are caught in drenohing rains
without overshoes, and they are much
more injured then than they would be
in a month of walking in dry weather.
A long walk In thoroughly soaked
shoe causes it irreparable damage.
The straining motions Of the foot in
this soft mass wreak damage that
could never be possible in the same
shoe when dry. Even the soles Of
shoes worn much in the wet, especial.
ly those of the poorer grades. have
their term OF usefulness considerably
curtailed.

The brave Indian policemen who were
given military funeral at Standing Rock
deserved all the respect shown their torn
and shattered bodies by the government.
Bull Head, the dead lieutenant, was q
noble type Of the better class of Indians.
He felt that obedience to the govern
ment meant the welfare of his race. He
hated Sitting Bull because he knew him
to be a demagogue who would sacrifice
the vital interests of the Sioux nation to
his love of notoriety and prominence.
The wife Of James 8. MCGEE, sheriff of
Emmons county. is sister of the dead
commander of police. She is as true and
noble woman as her brother was loyal
and brave man. A good wife and mother,
she has during her years OF residence at
the county seat. by her quiet, retiring and
ladyllke behavior, earned the respect of
our settlers. In the language Of Mrs.
Mclaughlin, wife of the Standing Rock
agent. the sister of the dead hero is "a
true Christian woman" It is we'll for
the government and for the settlers that
Indian families like that to which Bull
Head belonged are unwavering friends Of
civilization aud the white people.

White and Deaf

Mr.. Harrison Weir, president of the
National Cat Club, England, says in
his book, 'Our Cats" that white cat
Of the slong or shorthaired breed is
likely to be deaf, Should it have blue
eyes, the fancy color, it is almost cer-
tain to be deaf.
Mr.. Weir, at cat show, purchased
a white cat, a beauty, loving and gen.
tie, for the low price Of two guinas.
When he got it home the cat proved
to be "stone deaf"
Then the trouble began. If shut out
of the dining room, its cry for admission
could be heard all over the house, for,
being deaf, it did not know the noise it
made, though its owner often wished
that it could hear its own cry. When
it called outas it sat on his lap, it called
with ten-cat power, and its command
ing voice caused it to named the "Col-
onel."
One day friend saw the .beauty. -
and admired it so much as to acceptitAs
agift, even after being told that It was
"stone deaf" A few days after Mr..
Weir received aletter from the friend.

don't return it to u.s. was the reply. .95

Peculiar Marriage Ceremonies Witnessed
by q Missionary In India.

Pseuiiar Marriage Ceremonies Witnessed
by q Missionapy In India.
A missionary describes marriage
ceremony which he witnessed in the
palace OF tho Governor OF Cambodia,
aa follows:
II was ushered, amid tremendous
din OF gongs, into large room beyond
the reception hall, where were seateQ
| the Governor and about hundred
Nnoblemen and invited guests. Tia
bridegroom, ayoung man about twenty
years of age, elegantly attired in silk
garments, was also there,
'By the time we foreigners were
seated, procession-headed by the
bride, supported on either side by de-
mure-looking matrons composed princl-
pally of aged or married women, and
elegantly attired-entered slowly and
marched toward the Governor.
"The bride was not particularly in
teresting as regards personal charms.
She was young, however, and dressed
richly and in good taste. Besides her
silk dress she wore a gold-embroidered
scarf upon her shoulders; also gold
rings upon her fingers bracelets upon
her wrists and armlets above the el-
bows.
The bride took up her position
near the bridegroom, both sitting up
on the floor, but not looking toward
each other; in fact, throughout the
entire ceremony they both were per-
fectly impassive and nonchalant.
sThe marriage ceremony proper
now began, A number ot, wax candles
were brought in on salver and then
lighted by one OF the mobiles. The sill
YER waiter was then passed around be-
tween the company eight times, each
one saluting the couple and wishing
them good fortune by blowing the
smoke toward them, thus expressing
