One of Mr.. Blaines last interviews with an
office-hunting delegation before he left, says
the New York World, has afforded him as
much amusement any experience of that
KIND ever did. The delegation was from North
carolina, and was presenting Col Blank # that
state for foreign post of some kind. The
vsl ors we're full OF praise of the colonel and
insisted that he was a most deserving man and
must have something good AS a matter OF
fact the colonel was rough and tough old
mountalneer who had never travelled, and knew
little about public affairs. He had spent his
whole life at home aud was near neigubor Of
the old Cherokee tribe of Indians IN that state
But he was ambitious and wanted to go abroad
in an official capacity.
Col. Blank of course, accompanied his
friends TO the state department. The party
bore letters from several of Mr. Blaine's near
est friends, and on that account met with a
cordial reception. There was a secret f. ar felt,
however, as TO how the applicant would appear
before the secretary and therefore when Mr.
Blaine turned and addressed Col Blank shud-
der ran through the delegation. the colonel in
Guided
And so you want to go abroad, colouel?'
asked the secretary, blandly.
. Col. Blank, struggling with lump in his
throat, admitted the impeachment.
DO you speak German?''
The colonel had to admit that he did not
"FrencnS" NO"
Spanish" NO"
mo" O'"''
What language 90 you speak, colonel?n
Col Blank turned very read, hesitated a mo-
ment and then blurted out: Cherokee and a
little English"
This was too much even for the North Caro-
inlans Everybody laughed, and in that out
BURST OF good nature the party withdrew.
Col. Blank was subsequently made a gauger

Pensacola's Wise Course.

The other day vessel from Vera Cruz
arrived at the mouth Of Pensacola barber.
She had no sickness aboard, but as she came
from port where yellow fever is prevail
ing the Pensacola authorities thought it
advisable that sne should remain in quarsn-
tine ten days before being permitted
to 60 up to the city. 1, turned out that the
precaution was a wise one Before the ten
days had expired three of the crew became
i'll with yellow fever. aud one of them died
a day or two ago. The vessel has been sent
to the government quarantine station.
As soon as sickness appeared on the yes
sci the fact was made puolic, and the pub
lie has been kept informed of the develop
ment Of the sickness. There is no proba~
! bility, therefore, that any false rumoFs
damaging to Pensacola will get abroad. The
| Pensacola authorities have been frank with
tae public, and the public places the utmost
confidence in them. IL there should be-
rumors that fever had appeared at Pepsa-
cola they would not bs credited, because of
the feeling that if suspicious cases of fever
should appear there, of which there is no
probability, the fact would at once be made
1t is always the wiser course to be per-
fectly fFSnk about such matters. Any at
tempt at concealment is certain to be a fail
ure, and false reports, which do au incalcula-
bic amount Of damage, are pretty certain to
follow efforts to suppress the facts.
If. for instance, the Pensacola authorities
had attempted to prevent the fact from be-
coming known that there was a vessel at
her quarantine station having yellow fever
on board it is not improbable that rumors
that the fever had appeared in that city
would have become current
The prompt announcement, however, of
the truth removed all foundations for ru-
mors.
1t seems that there have been as many as
ten yellow fever cases at the government
quarantine station on Chandelier Island.
The government quarantine station for both
New Orleans, Pensacola and all other gulf
ports is on that island. And it has been
alleged that the patients there have been
suffering for a lack Of medical attention.
The authorities at Washington should see to
it that enough doctors are sent to the station
to give thu sick all the attention they need.
1t would be a great mistake on the part of
the government to neglect the quarantine
stations it has established.

Why He Wasn't Shot.

Congressman Grain, who represents the Gal
weston district of Texas, says the Washington
Star, tells some remarkable stories of poker
playing in that state during war times. 1t was
an epoch there of lawlessness and mob rule. and
personal bravery was the quality of leadership
one night he was playing in a game with three
or four others. one Of them desperate named
Boyd. The latter took advantage of the convi
vality of the proceedings to hold out a card and
Grain saw him do it, On the spur OF the mo.
ment Grain said, Boyd, you are cheating" It
was foolish thing to do, unless with pistol in
hand, because it meant immediate murder But,
to the surprise of every one, Boyd simply
turned very pale, laughed and replied, Grain
boards at my house, you know and so | can't
afford to shoot him 3"
The next evening Boyd came unlimited into
Cram room, where some other men were and
offered to play Grain game of two-hanGed
freeze out. " The latter aSSented and they sat
down at the table, while the rest drew their
chairs back and waited for the tragedy they
supposed was coming. a few moments later
Boyd cheated, so openly that he doubtless in
tended to be caught, and Grain at once charged
him with the offense. Immediately Boyd leaped
to bis feet, seized two chairs and threw them
INTO the air. One of them struck Boyd as it
fell, and he drew the pistol he had ready, cry
ing: Grain, you hit me with a chair!'
Like a FASH says Grain, in telling the story
my instinct as q criminal lawyer came 10 my
aid. l saw that his purpose was to claim self
defense IN shooting me- SO, without stirring
from my seat. pointed my finger at Boyd
who had me covered with his gun, and said :
Boyd, you know that isn't true. | haven't
touched you. If you want to fight, I'll accom-
modate you anywhere you ike, and with any
weapons, within an hour of this time Let's
fight. if need be, but there's no occasion for
murder"
Grains GOODNESS of action saved him, and the
duel never came off, because friends interfered
He lived u secure Boyd's acquittal of murder
subsequently. Later on, however, Boyd was
Killed With his boots on. in a row.

Fitch's Pass Was Recognized.


When Tom F itch of Arizona was located at
Prescott in the practice of law, says the San
Francisco Call, the northern and central por
tions Of the territory were overrun by rowing
bands of desperadOes, chief among whom were
a large number of road agents, who infested
the stage lines and preyed upon the passengers
From time to time they were apprehendsd and
brought up for trial. aud Fitch vas almost in
varia6ly retained for the defense. In neariy
every instance he succeeded in clearing them
and in their eyes, soon grew to be quite hero.
IL c0anced that in the fall OF 1891 Eng ish
man dropped into Prescott on his way 10 PhdA

made the acquaintance of FItcd. Before leav

exploits OF the road agents reached his ears,
and, becoming alarmed. he preached the sub

Pretty bad customers just at this time, " said

day the bearer of the safe conduct took his seat
in the south bound coach, and when Black Can
yon was reached five masked men stepped Into
the road and ordered the driver TO stop. No
time was lost in reining in the horses, and the
passengers were ordered to alight. With hands
up they were compelled to stand in a row and
be searched, their valuables being taken from
them indiscriminately.
When the Englishman was reached he said to
the man who was relieving the passengers: Il

Alarm must have taken very strong
hold upon the Harrison republicans to have
driven them to the desperately disreputable
devices they have apparently adopted, to
switch Secretary Blaine Off on a side-track
before the race for the presidential nomina-
Jion comes along. Unless the Washington
correspondent of the New York World has
greatly misrepreSented the case, the Harri.
son people have even gone TO an extraordi-
nary length to determine whether Mr..
Blaine has Bright's disease of the kid
neys. Any one who would really
or presumably resort to such methods
merely for the purpose of securing
political advantage is utterly unworthy
of belief in any statement he might make,
Therefore the allegations of the conspicu-
Gus Republican leader" aud friend of
President Harrison" whose statements are
quoted by the World, are unworthy of Gre
dence. Anxiety TO get Mr. Blaine out of
the way must have driven the Harrison
contingent to the extreme of desperation.
when such unheard-of methods are adopted.
IL Mr.. Harrison cannot suggest a more de-
cent course to his followers he would do
well 20 try to keep them silent for his own
sake even though he may despair of defeat
ing MIR. Blaine in an equal contest for the
confidence Of his party. But the President
of the United States certainly cannot afford
to employ tactics SO questionable.
