BLAINE'S GOOD HEALTH.
A DOCTOR COMES ALL THE WAY
FROM ITALY TO SEE HIM.
1t Is However Denied that This is Pro-
fessional Call-Dr. Baldwin Says His
Errand to Bar Harbor is None of the
Public's Business.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, August 7.-Dr.
William w. Baldwin, of Florence, Italy,
specialist in nervous diseases, was at
his old home in Birmingham today.
When reporter called, his brother, DR..
Charles Baldwin, said the doctor had
come to the United States partly on
business, and added: II suppose my
brother will call on Mr.. Blaine before he
returns"
AT this juncture DR.. William Baldwin
appeared on the scene and said: 81
have not seen Mr.. Blaine. / will not
say whether shall call on him or not.
1t is not the duty of a physician to an
nounce such matters to the public. The
public has nothing whatever to do with
my business, and it will not know
whether shall see Mr.. Blaine or moi"
Then turning to his brother he said
"Charles, you ought not to have given
this to the reporters. You don't know
whether shall see Mr.. Blaine or not.
l did not tell you."
DR.. Charles during this speech listened
with smile, not saying word. DR..
William Baldwin left for Bar Harbor
this afternoon.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, August EN-
mons Blaine told an Associated Press
reporter tonight: "There is nothing in
the report that DR.. Baldwin is coming
to Bar Harbor to visit father profession
ally. If he is coming at all father
knows nothing about it. He has not
sent for him, and has no need of his
services. He has not taken any medi-
cine for nearly two months. He is very
well and is gaining all the time"

BURIED THE HATCHET,
The Democratic Factions in Chicag

The Democratic Factions in Chicago
Adopt Treaty OF Peace.
CHICAGO, August 1.-THE two factions
of the Democratic party in Chicago
united tonight, after long and bitter
fight, which has allowed the Republi-
cans to win two important elections.
The split originated with ex-Mayor
Carter Harrison, who claimed to have
been asufferer from the arbitrary control
of the party machinery by ex-Mayor
Dewitt G. Cregier. The constitution
adopted at meeting Of representatives
of both factions tonight, is decided
novelty in the line of political agree
ments. 1t provides that all primaries
shall be held under the Australian bal
lot system, and forbids central commit
teemen from becoming office-holders.
Should the treaty prove binding, the
Democrats expect to make clean ever
lasting sweep of all the offices in sight,
the party when united having, accord
ing to their estimates, $1,000 majority.
The present city administration is Re-
publican.

SAN DIEGO, August I'm conversation
with an officer of the Pensacola, today,
considerable information was obtained
as to the cause of the Chilean trouble.
He said:
"The constitution OF Chile is the real
cause of the war. There is no power to
punish the president for misconduct.
He cannot be impeached, and he cannot
be prosecuted. When he accepts the
Office he takes an oath not to leave the
country for one year after the expiration
of his term. This makes it necessary
for the president at the end of his regu-
lar term of five years to nominate his
own successor, who agrees to defend
him. His nominee is always elected,
even If people have to be thrown into
jail so the election can be carried. In
this way Balmaceda has just nominated
and elected one of his former cabinet
officers, named Vicufa.
Zone day heard how some recruits
were provided for Balmaceda's army.
The men were not anxious to enlist, so

regiment drawn up. He rode out and
informed the men that the next morn

an engagement with the congressional
soldiers. If there is any reason why
any of you do not want to go, step out
Of the ranks and say so, he concluded.
Seven of the poor devils stepped out and
said they did not want to 60, and they
did not go. Those seven were straight

AS politician, Mr.. Hamlin was shrewd,
adroit, and above all devoted to his friends
and honest with them. In Washington he
had the reputation Of always getting nearly
all the Offices he might want for them. He
had wonderful memory for names and
faces, and in the course of his long life knew
most of the men of any prominence In the
state. At the legislative reunion in 1885 he
said he had known personally every COVER
nor of Maine from William King, the first,
to Frederick Robbie; every Speaker of the
House but one; and every presiding officer
of the Senate. Men who befriended him he
never forgot, and herein was one of the
secrets of his great success. Another secret
was his incorruptible honesty. An United
States Senator is said to have
asked him once to support a measure on the
ground that profit might be made on certain
bonds which he could furnish Mr.. Hamlin
for little or nothing. The reply which that
Senator received to his question as to what
Mr.. Hamlin thought of such chance is said
to have been, 81 say damn your chance. aud

RUSTIC FLOWER BOXES.
Rustic boxes made at home Of pieces of the
rough bark of forest trees, nailed with ordi-
nary brads on common pine boxes, simply
vanished over to protect them from rotting,
are very ornamental when filed with flowers.
They should be mounted on strong posts of
wood so they will be about five inches above
ground, aud should have holes in the bottom
for drainage. Double petunias sown In such
box will make most gorgeous display of
color all summer. Other boxes may be filed
with foliage plants, mingled with scarlet
geranium and with blue lobelia and other
travelling vines. The New York Tribune
wisely says: Avoid painting boxes or gyrsy
kettles the hard shade Of Yermlllion red SO
often used for this purpose. 1t does not har-
monte with the foliage of the plants or the
color OF the flowers. An olive green Is bet
ter for this purpose, and especially for paint
ing trellises and poles, than anything else.
In the spring, when the plants are fresh set
out, there is hardly anything that will push
them forward so rapidly as teaspoonful Of
guano sprinkled around their roots once
week just before they are watered. Do not
use 1t any oftener. and be very careful never
to let 1t touch the stalk or leaves, or the most
deleterious results will follow. 1t is too
powerful a fertilizer to be used except with
great care; ten-cent package In use on
