Young Mrs. BIaine's Sad Fate.

Reports from New York say that Mrs. James
&. Blaine, Jr., has about abandoned hope In
stead of getting better she is, if anything, a
trhe worse. Medical science does not seem to
be able to alleviate, yet alone cure, her infam-
matory rheumatism. 1t is not likely that she
will ever go on the stage. She has not been out
of her sick room in months. Most of the time
she is in bed with her unfortunate leg in a
plaster cast. Sheis apatient sufferer and never
complains although the cup of sorrow was
pressed to her lips very early in life Her baby
boy progressing finely and is bright, ,healthful-
looking little sprite-the only sunbeam that
brightens its mothers room. Some of her friends
are still loyal, but they are few. There have been
times when poverty crossed the threshold Of the
sick room, and the poor creature would have suf-
fered for the necessares of life but for the inter
position of friends. OF the ones who have
proved faithful none is more deserving of credit
than the English maid-of-all-work, who has
served Mrs, Blaine without pay, and at times
has drawn upon her savings of years to keep
the wolf from the door.

LAWN TENNIS.
Prospects of a Very Interesting Season in
Washington.

Prospects of Very Interesting Season in
Washington.
The tennis play is fairly "on," and hence
forth until fall the season will be active one.
Never before in cur tennis circles has the inter
est in the game been so intense, and happily we
are now on the upgrade, for the game has
made a remarkable advance in Washington.
To recite the history of tennis in Washington is
beyond the scope of this article, but it is pleas
ing to note that THE HERALD has had share
in widening the interest in the game locally.
1t was one of the first papers to encourage this
popular sport here. Two important events in
the Southern tennis world are shortly to occur
the District tournament, May q, and the tour
nament of the Southern Lawn Tennis Associ-
alton. in Baltimore, June g. The former is of
course, the regular annual tournament and ex-
cites great interest among the local players.
For the first time since the tennis
fever seized Washington we have play
those of clubs in other cities composing
the Southern Association. Among our ranking
players are McCawley, Davidson, Woodward,
and Menocal. In the second rank we might
class Grain, Borden, Sheibley, Metcalf, Spot
are at least three players on the second list who
will play any man in the first list very hard
contest for the District prize, but in their play
thus far they are not quite up to the four hrst
named. The most astonishing player is I. 2.
Borden, who in this his third year, has taken
almost the front rank among local players. He
is stubborn antagonist, and while his game is
not graceful he has the remarkable faculty of
''getting there" when his opponent, least e1-
poets it. Davidson has his "telling" stroke in
even greater perfection this, year than
ever before. 1t is terrific ''swipe,''
and almost impossible of return. McCawley is
perhaps our most finished player and is looked
upon with alarm by his antagonists. He was
one of our earliest players, and is in fine trim
for this season. Woodward is playing in good
form and will make strong double with Nc
Cawley, although Borden and Davidson will
push this pair very hard
Several ladies will enter the tournament
which will make it more attractive. Due par
ticulars of the contests and players in the ap,
preaching tournament will be published from
time to time in THE HERALD.

No British Exhibits at Worlds Fair
LONDON, May 10.-During the session of the
House of Commons to-day Mr.. Jesse Ceilings
(Liberal) asked whether the government would
take any steps to encourage British manufac-
turers to send exhibits to the Worlds Fair, at
Chicago, if the Mckinley Tariff bill now before
the American Congress should become law,
inasmuch as the bill practically prohibits the
importation of British goods The Right Hon.
Sir James Ferguson, secretary of the Foreign
Office, said the manufacturers of Great Britain
would to great extent be deferred from send
ing exhibits to the fair if the tariff precuded
profitable sales in America.

LONDON, May 10-The fact that Mr.. Lincoln,
the American Minister, is taking brief holiday

that the rumors Of his intended resignation are

city, on the line of the B. & o., has just been put
on the market by Washington Danenhower Ills
F street. A great number enjoyed the excursion
to this place yesterday. Some of the lots are
still for sale. Terms Ten dollars cash and S.
per month. The close proximity of Riyersdale
to Washington-it being only six miles distant
makes it a very desirable place of residence for
those engaged in business here: The railroad
fare is low, and communication tickets have been
issued. Several fine houses are in course of con-
struction. A fine depot will soon be erected

A Performance by society Amateurs.

A Performance by Society Amateurs.
A smooth and interesting performance of "Pyg-
malion and Galatea" was given at Lincoln Hall
last night by company composed of well-known
society amateurs for the benefit of the Home
for IncuTables. The audience was u very fash
ionabe one, and was most generous in its APP
plause of the efforts of the players, who were
almost smothered in flowers before the curtain
finally fell. Miss Letitia Aldrich made lovely
and graceful Galatea, and played the part with
great naturalness and simplicity; Miss Nab
Myrine looked bewitching in the Greek cos
TUNES, and their acting was clever. Miss Bertha
Lincoln's Daphne was characterized by easy
Smith impaired the flavor of very modern
comedy to the role of Chrysos. Mr.. Hazelton's
Pygmalion was a careful and well-considered
impersonation, and Mr. Key as Leucippe was
dignified and reposeful. The stage, which was
under the direction of Mr.. Zen Schlosburg, was
nOtieeably well managed, and the performance
was over at an early hour.

A CHILD BURNED To DEATH.

The Frantic Mother seriously Injured in
Her Attempts TO Rescue Ii.
YsrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcU.i
PARKERsBURG, April To-day Mrs. Cos
horn Conger was nearly burned TO death in
Jackson county while trying to rescue her
child, which perished in the flames. Several of
her children were playing about the fire in an
old brick kiln, when two of them fell in. She
rushed to the rescue and succeeded in saving
one slightly burned: the other child was de-
voured by the flames before her eyes.
Frantically, she p'urged her hands into the
kiln to rescue it, if possible. when she was over
come and horribly burned. She is likely to lose
both hands, if not her life.
