tional acceptance Of an invitation to de-
liver an address before an American COM
mercial club. by which his appearance was
made to depend upon the condition of Mrs.
Blaine's health: caused considerable COM
ment. The Difference paid by Mr.. Blaine
to his wife's judgment In all matters per-
tainiDg to his political career is a matter of
public knowledge, hence the general inter-
est felt In the statement implying lack OF
good health on her part. 1t was felt by
many that her illness might and probably
would have distinct and important bear
ing upon the Secretary's attitude toward
the nOmin tion for the Presidency, and the
condition of her health mas been the sub
ject of inquiry. Since her return to Wash
IngtOn Mrs. Blaine has been c0nfned to the
house almost constantly, and part Of the
time to her bed. Her trouble was a sort of
general prostration, probably due to relax

bored during the illness of the Secretary
In the summer. Now, however, she is able

THE NoRcRoss FAMILY.
They Came from Charleston, Me-, and
Were Smart Men.

SAco, December 15.-Mrs. John P.
Haines of Old Orchard Is cousin Of Hen
ry L. Norcross, who threw the bomb In
Russell Sage's Office. She says: "It has
been stated that Henry inherited insanity
from his grandfather, who dted insane.
This is false. We have the genealogy Of
the Norcross family down to the present
time, and there never was one Of then. in
sane or showed the least sign Of insanity.
James e. Norcross, the father Of Henry,
was the son of Deacon James Norcross Of
Charleston, Me-. and was one OF a family
of five brothers. James Edward, Henry a..
Cornelius H., John b and Christopher T..
All were remarkably intelligent men.

was welded to Louis P. Rollins on her
deathbed and who lbequeathed 800. 900 to
her husband, was the daughter OF the late
Henry Hale Norcr0ss, formerly in the
lumber business In Lowell. 1t has been
intimated that her cousin Henry, not be-
ing remembered in the will, was disap-
pointed, and that this might have been one
of the contribusory causes for Henry's act.
but in n opinion this had nothing to do
with 1t Whatever"
Mrs. Norcross, mother of the rnfortu-
nate Henry, was Miss Lizzie Young OF

How Mrs. Norcross Recognized Her Sons
Remains.
NEW YORK, December i5.-Mr. and
Mrs. James E. Norcross Of Somerville,
Mass, claimed early this morning the
trunkless head in the morgue as that of
their son, Henry l.. Norcross. The recog-
milton was positive, and left no shadow of
doubt as to the identity of the bomb
thrower.
The Norcrosses arrived at Bellevue Hos
pital in carriage at quarter past one a.
M, and were ushed into the waTden'S
office, Deputy Warden Rickard removed
the head from the alcohol jar and stood it
on table in the store room with sheet
over IL. Mrs. Norcross entered the room
with George G. Whiting of Lexington,
Stepped to the table, supported by Mr..
Whiting, Mr.. Rickard lifted the cloth.
"Poor, dear boy" said the mother In a
trembling voice, II should not have known
him. Yes, l know those teeth. Lovely
boy" and she kissed him on the forehead.
ibid you suffer, dear?" she asked. and
then. the addressing E MT " q, Rickard. asked.
Without waiting for him to answer. she
continued, her voice growing firmer. Il
never thought this, darling boy. 1t is just
like him. Your mother knows y0u," and
Mrs. Norcross showed signs of giving way
under her strOng emotion.
1.-The outline Of his face satisfies me he
is Henry" she said; "the teeth are the
best evidence. There is q little space be-
tween them where they could grow to-
gether. The doctor told me I could iden-
tify him by his teeth"
"Do you see any other characteristics ?''
asked Coroner Messemer.
"Yes, the outline of the temples and the
nose. but the teeth are the best evidence of
Identification"
Mrs. Norcross passed her hand over hel
sons hair and found a scar on the back of
his head. He was hit there by a stone
when boy" she said; nobody saw it be-
fore"
"That makes the Identification com
plete," said the coroner.
