Dark Hue.

NEW YORK, Dec. IS.-A very dra-
matte incident enlivened the Blaine di-
vorce proceedings which were in prog
ress at the Office of Referee Lord yester-
day. Mrs James q. Blaine Jr. arrived
with her friend, Mrs. Ogden DOremus.
The law gave her husband the right to
be present, When she saw him there,
though she had not met him since she
bid him goodbye at Bar Harbor three
years ago, she controlled any sign OF
surprise so we'll that her companion
never suspected that the man who rose
as they entered was the person in ques-
ton. Mrs. DOremus had seen Mr..
Blaine, but it was years ago, and, as his
wife did not take the slightest notice of
him. she did not suspect that it was he.
During the proceedings Mrs. Doremus
got into an Indignant state Of mind, and
to the person next to her, she said /:
''rhe man in this case is a scoundrel
and pOltrOOn."
''DO you know whom you are talking
TOP" replied the Individual addressed.
NO" she replied.
"Weil. am Mr.. Blaine"
Mrs. Doremus flushed slightly, and
then continued quickly and with in
creasIng emphasis: Il did not know
that you were Mr. Blaine when | spoke.
But repeat it, now. A man who would
abandon not only his wife, but his in
nocent child, at the dictates of his
father and mother
Don't mention my mothers name,"
burst forth Mr.. Blaine.
''Since you have mentioned it." calmly
continued Mrs. Doremus, II will add,
or his mother, is poltroon ana scOun-
drel."
James Blaine Jr had nothing handy
to reply, and the passage at arms came
to an end.
Jimmy Is Very Poor.
DR.. Frank C. Fuller obtained judg-
ment for 1929 against James q. Blaine
Jr.. in October, 1889. for professional
services. This judgment was never sat-
isfied, and an order was consequently
obtained for bis examination in supple
mentary proceedings. He appeared and
was sworn today before Justice Ingra-
ham. Examined rs to his property, he
testified that he possessed nothing but
his wearing apparel and 215 shares,
value 3 each, of the Seamless Tube
company, of Boston; that even these
were subject to a lien for $1,000 for the
purchase IAANOs Dl A4to ldIAACl
these, subject TO the lien, he was pre-
pared to let the doctor have. He SwOre
that even the watch that he wore was
not his. but belonged to his father; that
he earned $50 per month in the foreign
freight department of the Pennsylvania
Railway company. at Philadelphia. and
had no other source of income. He did
not deny the Indebtedness, saying he
would pay when he could.
