SECRETARY BLAINE's HEALTH.
Senator Hale Talks Emphatically in Re-
gard to the Alleged Dying Man.

Senator Hale Talks Emphatically in Re-
gard to the Alleged Dying Man.
New YORK, July 1s.-The Herald
Bar Harbor dispatch gives an interview
with Senator Hale regarding Secretary
Blaine's health, in which he says:
The truth about Mr.. Blaines case
can be very briefly stated. He worked
too hard during the winter and
had a severe illness in New York to pay
for it. He had rheumatic govt, too, in
its most painful form. That, however,
was all before he came to Bar Harbor,
where he has been convalescing stead
lily and rapidly ever since his arrival.
To-day MIR. Blaine is as well as | am,
and will return to Washington ready
for the work he will have to do.
1.-The sensational reports which have
been SO recently circulated to the con-
trary are malicious and despicable fab
relations, in which the hand of Mr..
Blaine's enemies is plainly recogniza BILE.
Nothing, however, is more certain than
that in their desperate efforts to kill
the man they fear they have really
overreached themselves and made him
stronger than ever"

PAUPER STATISTICS.

Statistical Bulletin on Pauperism In the
United States Promulgated by the Cen
sus Bureau. Showing a Marked Relative
Decrease in the Number of the Public
Charges-Ratio of Paupers to Popula-
ton. Etc.
WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The census
office has issued bulletin on the sub
iect of paupers in alms-houses in 1890,
showing a total of 1905, as against
&C. 203 in 1850. These are divided ac-
cording to sex and color as follows:
Mum Der of males, white, 1857; num-
Der of males, colorcd. 3, 354; number of
females, white, 26, 1911; number OF
females, colored, 3,113.
In the number of colored persons
given above are included 10 male and
20 female Indians and II male and
female Chinese.
The ratio of aims house paupers to
the total population was one to 75S.
The present ratio is one to S57. This
is very marked relative decrease.
The aims house system is not keeping
pace with the growth of the population
at large. The decline in the ratio is
due to the very much smaller numbe
of paupers cared for in aims houses in
the North Atlantic division, where
there has been not only relative but
disproportionate decrease in number.
In respect to nativity, not including
the colored paupers, who may all be
supposed to be natives, except the thir-
teen Chinese, of the &c, SIS white pau
pers, 1866 are native born, 27,64S for
eign born, and the place of birth Of
2,274 is unknown.
The numerical order OF the states ac-
cording to the number of paupers in
alms-houses reported in each of them,
is as follows:

Not Officers at All.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 17.-At the in
quest on Seaman Brown, who was
killed in Il conflict with United States
marshals Tuesday, the evidence tended
to fix the responsibility for the affair
on the officers. 1t further appeared
that the officers, who claimed to be
United States deputy marshals, were
not deputized by Marshal Gard, and
therefore had no authority to arrest
the sailors. 1t has developed that at
meeting of citizens held on Wednesday
night the question of lynching the pris-
oners was debated, but it was decided
to await the concl usion of the iuouest.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-Statistician
Jones has issued his report of the
anthracite output for June. The total
production was $3.50. 242 tons, as com
pared with 3,445, 562 tons in June last
year, an increase of 334,G79 tons.
This is by far the greatest
tonnage produced in any June, and in
dicates that there is something the mat
ter with the machinery for restricting
the output. The enormous production
is alarming the trade. and unless some
better plan of restriction is adopted
than has heretofore been attempted a
break in prices is considered inevitable.
