PERSONAL POINTS.

Leslie Stephen, editor OF the Cornhill
Magazine, will sail for this country
within few weeks.
Bismarck goes out riding for seve raj
hours every day in the SachSenwald,
which is now in full bloom.
Senator Stanford owns the largest
vineyard in the world. 1t is in Tehama
county, California, and covers 1895
acres.
Mrs. Charlotte Nichols, of Peterboro,
Ont, who died recently worth $1,000
600, was the richest woman in Canada.
Alexandra Dumas is passing his latter
days very quietly, or as quietly as man
can who has several grandchildren.
Miss Belle Smith, recently appointed
prison in Sherborn, Mass, is but
twenty-three years old.
George Bancroft is the oldest eX-eab
met officer, both I'D age and point of
service, now living. He was secretary
of the navy under Polk.
Ed Van Metere, an Indian, has been
admitted to practice law in the Dakota
courts. Being an educated Indian and
a fine orator, he may be expected to
raise the hair of the jury.
flGV. L ltJ DiilliiS lldiii, q DOoboa CiCtSy-
mon, has been suffering a year and a
half from the effects of vaccination.
Still, the Observation-Disclosures will have
to suffer longer than that.
Erastus Lovette, of Rome, Pa, is 104
years old, and often walks ten miles to
visit his neighbors. 1t is likely that if
he were only half as old he would not
walk half the distance to see the same
people. Age makes some folks foolish.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has re-
turned from Florida, and is occasionally
seen on the streets in Brooklyn, little
figure, slight, W hite-haired and folded
in black shawl. Mrs. Beecher's rooms
are full of pictures of her husband. She
studies to interest herself in affairs
which she believes would interest her
husband if he were alive.
Charles Pratt, the founder of the Pratt
institute, is worth SIS. 10000, and is the
richest man in Brooklyn. He has red
dish gray hair and beard and always
seems to be thinking very hard about
something. The Pratt institute is his
chief pride, though he still has consid-
cradle affection for the Standard Oil
company, out of which he made his
money.

BLAINE IN THE FIELD.

The recent interview Mr.. BLAINE
had published leaves room for question
that he regards himself as definitely
and permanently out of the presidential
field. His language runs in that direc-
ton, it is true, but he dwells signifi-
cantly upon his present fine health, and
says his letter in 1888. that made room
for HARRISON, would not have been
written had he possessed the physical
vigor that he now enjoys. He was in a
despondent mood at that time, and i'm
pressed that the strife and excitement
of the campaign, that he could not keep
out of if candidate, would entirely
break him down. All that would be
policy for him to do at present would
be to impress his friends with the
conviction that he is not to be
put on the broken down list
for good while. He ignores
HARRISON as a candidate, and this is
one of the most eloquent flashes of 81
lence in the interview. He is the pre-
mier of the administration, and can
have no question that HARRISON is
quite as eager TO secure a second term
as have been any of his predecessors.
1t would not be forced inference from
what Mr.. BLAINE says and fails to say
that he does not look upon HARRISON
as even a possibility in 1892. Other in
formation from Washington is to the
same effect. He is only mentioned in

POLITICAL COMEDY.

A comic opera is proposed to be intro
duced, based upon the recent familiar
incident in the Turkish capital, where
the native youths were SO captivated by
the beauty of the ladies of the Russian
embassy that, in defiance of all prudence
and obstacles, they leaped the barriers
and recklessly kissed them. There was
a large mixture of human nature in the
transaction. The Turkish women have
their faces covered, and the young men
had not been exposed to such osculatory
temptations. Some of the high rank
Russian women are reputed to be as at
tractive and magnetic as any European
women. If the young men were not en-
tirelv unfamiliar with the Turkist arti-
Gle, they were men of considerable
culture and superior taste. OF course
they were led by their infatuation to
break all the civil and social, if not oscu-
latory canons, and their offense was not a
mere police, but international affair.
If the ladies, after they had measured
the otfense, were willing to exercise the
sweet unstrained mercy that suggests
the angelic, the government of the
Russias could not indulge in sentiment.
The Turk would not yield the Of

DULUTH, Minn., June Ada Proctor,
aged thirty-three years, and house
keeper at May Addison's maison de joie,
was killed by broken electric light
wire tonight. The woman hailed from
Ashland, but about six months ago was
discharged from the penitentlary at
Waupon, on the expiration of sentence
for connection with Infamous dives
near Hurley. She, in company with
May Addison, had gone out to look at
the fire burning near the house and was
without shoes. She stepped on the wire
and the shock was communicated to the
woman Addison, who was thrown down
away from the wire, and consciousness
returning, she managed to wriggle on
her back into the house. The woman
Proctor for an instant stood erect and
then fell forward, clutching at the wire
and rolling over and over cOnvulsively,
moaning piteonsly at times. The wire
got wound around her and several
heroic attempts were made by by
ISLANDERS to release her, but her
would-be rescuers as soon as the electri-
fed spot was reached were Frustrated,
and the attempt was abandoned. The
broken wire had fallen across telephone
wires. rendering the instruments dan
gerous, and a foot messenger was dis
patched to notify the central light Office
to turn off the current. Until the cur
rent was stopped the woman's body was
wrapped in waves of blue flame which
cracked and sputtered. When the body
was released a faint pulsatiOn of the
heart was noticeable, but death enSued
shortly afterWard The hands and lips
of the woman were badly burned.

THE PROPOSED LAW.

The vote in the senate upon the bill
to relieve the difficulty in prohibition
states in regulating the liquor packages
that come into the states, is taken
as assurance that the bill will also pass
the house and become law. This will
leave the importation in the control of
the state after it becomes the property
of the recipient. The local authorities
in Iowa may sit up with the jugs or
bottles after they are delivered to the
party to whom they are consigned.
Search and seizure have been the agen-
cies of prOhibltory systems, and may be
brought into requiSition by any state.
If tits the act,as it would appear under
the proposed act of congressman in view
of the expressions and opinions of the
supreme court, that the state may fol-
low the original packages into the eel
lar of the recipient and remove and de-
stroy, the interstate commerce guaran-
teed by the constitution would have
destructive Limitation in this case. Nice
constitutional construction is requisite
to preserve the interstate right, and at
the same time delegate to the state the
power to prohibit its exercise. When
the case comes before the court in a
broader way, it will, Perhaps, be found
that some misapprehension has fol-
lowed the judicial delivery.

PURELY PATRIOTIC.

Objection is raised in some inconsid
ate quarters to the somewhat recent
organization called 1.-The Sons of the
American Revolution" under the I'M
preston that it is inspired by nativistic
prejudices. AS it has no partisan feat
ures and does not propose to influence
legislation, it is somewhat impertinent
to call in question It's objects. 1t might,
perhaps, be alleged that there is a tinge
of blue blood in the thing, but ''pride
of ancestry is always regarded as laud-
able. The association is not, in theory
at least, confined to natives. There were
French and Germans who did good serv-
ice in the Revolution, and may have
posterity not born in this country. The
special impulse to this movement was
probably patriotic desire to obliterate
sectionalism. 1t puts together the
hands of those whose grandfathers
stood up in untaught heroism at Bunker
Hill and the grandsons of the splendid
lighters of the Carolinas.

ciety to-day the annual address by Vice
President Austin Abbott was read. The
society, he said, has averaged
the founding of six Sunday schools.
three churches, three completed church
buildings and one church launched into
self-Support each week. On every CON-
munion Sunday 1900 persons mad joined
the church. The society now has no

the vice presidents, Rev. James

Rev. Zachary Eddy, of Michigan; re-

Meredith gave notice that he should
moved at the next meeting such an
amendment to the constitution as
should cause the election of the CORE
spending secretary and treasurer and the
executive officers by the society, and
not by the executive committee. The
committee on legislation reported the
passage of the bill giving the
society permission to meet in any
part of the United States. Rev. J. I'll
Warren, ID. D., of San Francisco, then
invited the society to visit his city for
the next annual meeting. His invita-
tiOn was ordered to be accepted, pro-
vided transportation at proper rates
were secured. The feeling of the adj
visibility of gong so far with this was
nearly unanimous.

the city were ahead S800,000 over the

about the city averaged about 10000 pas

spending 500 francs each, and 100000

snub, evidently premeditated. admins
tered by Premier Mercier to the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught. Since the
advent of the royal party here he has
studiously avoided them. He was one
of the guests invited to meet them at
dinner on Monday evening at Sir
George Stephens, but he preferred to
preside at the distribution of prizes to
the scholars of the schools, and was
again absent on Tuesday, although es-
pecially invited to the excursion down
the Lachine rapids. Mercier'S radical
friends are delighted and say his atti-
tude is perfectly consistent with his
democratic and republican ideas, but
society, especially among the English
element, is highly incensed and indig-
nant that the soldier-son of the queen
and his Prussian princess should have
been sighted. Sir George Stephen
does not care to speak of the incident.

Another Mysterious Case of
Drowning in the Mississippi.
The Mississippi has added another to
the already long list of its victims last
night. About $3.50 three men, slightly
the worse for liquor, were seen by Off
Ger McGuiggan, who is on the Wabasha
street beat.to walk toward the depot. In
half an hour or less they left the
station and proceeded in the di-
rection of the tracks at the foot of
SibIey street. where a sWitchman was
working, who drove them off. All three
men then returned up town, and subSe-
uuently one of them came back alone,
and, evading the Switchman, made
across the tracks in the direction of the
river. 1t was raining in torrents at the
time, and in his drunken condition the
man probably failed to see the river
ahead of him, for he went head fore
most into fifteen feet of water. The
switchman ran to the edge Of the bank
Just in time to see the man struggling
in the water. He returned across the
tracks for his lantern and, in the en-
deayor to find something to fish the
drowning man out with, lost consider
able time. At last he found pole, but
the man was too far from the shore for
it to be of any service. When last seen
the man was fifty feet from the spot at
which he fell in, and at that distance he
was drawn under barge lying moored
near the wharf. and was seen no more.
A thorough search of the vicinity was
made by Officer McGuiggan, but no trace
of the body could be discovered Shortly
after the drowning the men who had
previously accompanied the drowned
man reappeared in search of him. One
of these gave his name as John Wool
ney, and claimed to live at thescorner of
Rose and Cypress streets. He stated
that he and the other two men in whose
company he had been during the even
ing had met for the first time last even
ing. They had been drinking together
in saloon at the corner of Eighth and

THE wise man of the other time said
there was no emu to making books, yet
he could not in his mildest mental
phrensy have conceived of the modern
methods of multiplying them. The re-
cent processes of printing from photo
graphic plates are marvel even to the
modern scientist, in their cheapening of
books. Many of the standard works, as
Webster unabridged, are produced at
what would seem hardly more than the
worth of the paper and binding. Even
the Encyclopedia Britannica of the ninth
edition is reproduced from photo-gela-
tine plates in this country, in clear print,
and sold at S1.50 volume. A Cincin-
natl paper says that one dealer in that
city sold 100 copies of the entire work
in two dayS.

Pretty much everybody in Chicago
will expect to make money out of the
fair, and if there is no excess of tariffs,
it is not an Objectionable theory. Specu-
lation in realty is already reported,
although the location is not fixed. Those
who were at the Centennial at Philadel-
phia remember how buildings were put
up all about the fair grounds and pro-
vision was made to take care of the
multitudes in the immediate vicinity.
1t is said that romantic prices were paid
for land and rents in that convenient
region, but they were the dallest look
ing sections that the visitor saw about
the city. Their flags and signs were
out, but nobody stopped there. The
vehicles for the city were filled, but it
was said that not one of these vicinity
establishments made expenses. They
were all sold out by the sheriff. Chicago
will be likely to remember something
about it.

No doubt Russia would have preferred
