Chicago. H.. sept. l.-'I have

tor the Presidential nomination before
the Republican National Convention"
said General Russell 4. Aixer. of De
troit. at the Grand Pacific. 81 did not
tell Grand Army men or any other
persons that I would not he q eandi-
date and that was FOR Blaine. All
stories OF that kind you may set down

at Detroit knew octter than TO talk
politics. have not discussed the quss-
tion oi my own candidacy. and i GER
ta.si1y wili sot decline In advance any

Regarding Mr.. Blafne's nomination
have said before. and | say now. that
Il depends on himself II Mr.. Blaine
wishes that nomination he can have IL
without a struggle. No one will OPP
pose him.

Mr.. Blaine told M he was q candidate.
That is simply not 50. / saw Mr..
Blaine at Bar Harbor three weeks
ago, and yet today l know no more
as TO his wishes In the matter than
you do"
What Is Mr.. Blaine's physical con-
dition?"
He looked TO me Just what he said
he was-a man who had been very
Ill, but was rapidly recovering. Mr..
Blaine will soon be in his normal con-
dition of health. His brilliant mind
is unimpaired. The cruelest lie ever
told about Mr.. Blaine was the malicb
ous one that his mind Was falling.

Referring to a story printed In many
papers that he sat at the Grand Army
banquet and listened without protest
to John NJ. Thurston attribu,ing TO
him the credit for the federal victory
at BooAeville, Miss, July 1, 1862.
which properly belonged TO General
Sheridan. General Alger said:
81 did not protest against Mr.. Thurs
toms remarks because they were true,
except, perhaps, as to the loss sus-
tained by my command. l have Gen.
eral Sheridan's written statement in
which he says that thu 'ctiQn OF my
command contributed argeiy % the
defeat OF Chalmers. In 1t, however,
he addresses me as major having icr-
gotten that I was a captain In that
fight and that he himself promoted me
for my share in the action. Further,
Mr.. Thurston's statenark - to the
losses was substanti lIS correct az

New York. Sept. 4. There WAS an
exceedingly lively time in Far Rocka.
way, tuesday night, growing out of the
arrest of some of the best known young
men of that popular summer resort.
for playing baseball on Sunday. For
years the local club known as the Do
mestic has played games with other
clubs on grounds IN the center of the

residents objected this year and Justice
James S. Seaman of Ridgewood, issued
warrants for the arrest of some of the
members Of the club on the complaints
of Thomas Henderson and Henry
Schrymser, both wealthy men. Among
those arrested were John Dollard,
member of the New York Stock Ex-
change; Frank Donahue, . nephew of
ex-Judge p. Donahue, of this city;
Charles Schaffer and Thomas Cane.
The trial was held IN the village hall
before Justice Seaman, Tuesday night.
The court room WAS crowded and the
building WAS surrounded by the vii
layers, who hooted and yelled 1t Com.
plainant Schfymser when he entered
the building. Justice Seaman convicted
all the defendants and fined each SIS.
when the justice announced his decis-
ion the spectators Kissed him and
hooted ut the complainant, who beat q
hasty retreat. The crowd outside
hustled him and pelted HIM with rotten
eggsand other Objectionable missiles until
he jumped into his carriage and drove
away out of their reach.
The convicted ball players paid their
fines promptly and then were escorted
from the hall amid the cheers OF the
crowd.

AFTER THE CIGARETTE MEN
Dealers who Sell TO Boys will ssreI

Prosecuting Attorney Mcknight
has decided that violations OF the
law governing the sale OF cigarettes
must be stopped. In speaking about
the matter yesterday he said: II con-
akier the practice OF selling cigarettes
to boys, which Is indulged in by nearly.
every tobacco dealer in the city, one
of the most Objectionable evils extant.
The law is very precise and severe upon
this Subject, and it Ia right that 1t
should be: for the results OF cigarette
smoking upon boys who have not vet
attained their growth. are extremely
debilitating. 1t robs the youth, who
as an habitual smoker. OF his health,
1t saps the energy out OF him., RUNS
his nervous system, and, intact. kills
him. There liz nothing that can be
said which fully covers the cnormity
OF the offense. When a man sells a
a boy package of cigarettes, he
knows that he is doing wrong. Or
ders have been given to arrest all law
breakers in this regard, and they will
be prosecuted without mercy.

ner. A building in the course cf erec-
ton and which had attained height of
four stories was blown in on the back
of several adjoining buildings. A num-
Der of people were employed on these
buildings and upon the building in
course of construction number of
brick layers were at work. The work
men narrowly escaped death, but in an
extension of one of the buildings
crushed Mr.. White, a tailor, was in
stantly killed, being crushed and

Several other employees in his estab-
lishment were seriously injured. At

blown down on the porch on the east
side crushing it in. A window in the
east room was blown in. The flagstaff
on top of the White House was snapped
off as if it was glass.
