MORE BLAINE RUMORS.
1t Is Again Said That He Has
Bright's Disease.
DIFFERENT TALE FROM BAR HARBOR

The Sensational story Is Said to Come
from Friend Of Both the President t
and Mr.. BIaine--That Alleged Con-
spiracy Against the Maine Man.
NEW YORK, July 21.-The New York
Worlds Washington correspondent tele-
graphs that paper that friend of Secre-
tary Blaine and Of the president says that
Mr.. Blaine certainly has Bright's disease
This individual, whose name the corre-
spondent does not divulge, is reported as
follows:
Time for The Truth.
"The time has come to tell the truth
about Mr.. Blaine. Some of us who love
the Republican party better than any indi-
vidual have known it for some time We
had hoped for reasons which are apparent
that 1t would not be necessary to speak
out at least at present.
But it Is unjust to President Harrison,
unjust to the Republican party and un-
just to the people of the United States to
conceal the facts any longer.
Mr. Blaine's ailment Is BriSht's dis
ease-in the second stage and passing to
the third.
How long his constitution will with
stand the constant drain upon his system
nobody can tell But the disease is firmly
established, and 1t is incurable.
THAT is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth"
That Alleged "Conspiracy."
The Worlds correspondent says hi s in
formant spoke as II from settled conviction
and not without trace of indignation.
II repeat, he continued, more vehemently,
that 1t would be unjust to President Har-
rison, the Republican party and the entire
people to hide the facts another day. Recent
reports have given rise to the impression
that there Is some sort OF conspiracy on the
the part of Republican leaders to misrep-
resent the condition Of Mr. Blsine's health,
and so, AS he is reported to have said, get
him out Of the way
Hints have been dropped already by
rabid Blaine men that even the president
Is concerned in such plot. Anything
more outrageous was never conceiv ed
is perfectly true that Mr.. Harrison has not
said that Mr.. Blaine had only overworked
and would soon be all right He has not
said so, for the simple reason that he could
not say so honestly. He knows perfectly
we'll that Mr.. Blaine's disease is incurable.
and that consequently he cannot possibly
be candidate for the presidency.
Concerning Mr.. Blaine's Denial.
Now, Mr.. Blaine says in his recent in
terview with World reporter that he had
not Bright's disease, and | do not doubt
for moment that he is entirely honest in
his belief His timidity regarding every
thing concerning his health is so well rec
ognized that strict silence has been en-
Joined. But he is above all patriot and
Republican, and IL he could see as I see
how serious is the danger of disrupting
the party by this talk of conspiracy feel
certain that he would be willing to have
the truth known"
The speaker then states lat chemical
and microscopic examination has proved
that Secretary Blaine has Bright's disease
and that the disease Is now in its second
and passing to the third stage.

Cleveland and Harrison Again"
SENATOR KENNA THINKS NEXT YEARS
TICKETS WILL BE HEADED AS
IN 1888.

Senator Kenna has expressed him
self on political topics as follows
"The heads Of the tickets will be
Cleveland and Harrison again. To
my mind there is no doubt who the
Democratic candidate will be. 1t is
in the air. All the signs point to
Cleveland. Some Democratic Sena.
tors are opposed to him, but that is
all there is to the opposition. 1t is
confined to the politicians.
"The great mass of the people want
Cleveland and in the end their wishes
must prevail. / believe that Cleve-
land is stronger to-day with the rank
and file of the party than he was
when he left the White House. He
is identified with the question which
is to form the issue in the campaign
Of next year--the great question of
wringing from the people millions of
money for no legitimate purposes Of
government. That is bound to be the
issue next year, and on it the Demo-
Gratis will win.
"The silver question is an import
ant one, but it will be subordinate to
the tariff question. While the masses
of the party no doubt believe as l do,
that free coinage of silver would be
good thing, they will not turn away
from Cleveland because he takes
different view Of the question
"On all other great questions of
Democratic policy he is sound Be-
sides this, the people believe him
strong, courageous, honest and patri-
otto. He gave the country magnih-
cent administration of the government,
and he will be the man to lead the
Democracy to victory in IS0a.'
Speaking further on the silver ques-
ton Senator Kenna s.id that great
many of those who demand free coin
age of silver will be entirely satisfied
with any other means which would
give the country more money. Only
the silver-producing sections will be
satisfied with nothing but the free coin
age, because they are interested in sill
yer as commodity as we'll as money
If by the practice of the Government
the volume Of currency could be in.
creased without free coinage of silver
it would be all the great mass of the
people care for.
The demonetzation Of silver in
1873, the Senator says, was fraud,
and a great many people who now de-
mand its free coinage do SO because
they think justice requires it in atone
ment for the former wrong to restore
to the debtor class the money wrong
fully taken by the act Of 1873, and to
again restore the double standard.
The double standard its another
great point aimed at, he says, and
Cleveland takes the position that
free coinage instead of restoring the
double standard would, by driving
gold out of the country, make single
standard of silver instead of gold.
Regarding the next Congress, Sena-
tor kenna said he had no doubt that
a general bill to revise the tariff will
pass the House. If it is a moderate
measure, he believed it will have a
good chance of passing the Senate and
that Harrison would not dare to veto
it. The North, and especially the
Northwest, will not be with the Re-
publicans in support of High tariff.
He believes that Massachusetts, could
be carried by the Democrats against
the Mckinley bill.

ALMOST BURIED HER ALIVE.
MARY BRADLEY LIES IN a TRANCE FIVE
DAYS AND AwAKES IN HER COFFIN.

The little village Of Knauertown,
up in the upper part of Chester
county, is just now greatly exercised
over the most remarkable experience
of Miss Mary Bradley, the sixteen
year old daughter Of well known
resident Of that place. The young
lady has just recovered from trance
or a state of catalepsy and while
she lay in this condition several ply
sicians, who examined her, pronounc
ed her dead. So closely were the
symptoms of death indicated by the
rigor of her body and the CLASSY stare
OF her eyes, that but for the tint which
remained in her cheeks her inter
ment would have doubtless taken
place and she would have revived
only to have smothered in the close
confines of a coffin. As it WAS the
body was laid out for burial when
animation returned.
During the five days that she lay in
this condition, friends took turns in
watching beside the body. Every art
known to the medical fraternity was
resorted to in order to establish the
presence Of death or life. Her par
ents would not permit her burial,
clinging to the hope that it was but a
state of suspended animation, as their
daughter had not been i'll, but went
into the state from quiet sleep.
DREAMED SHE WAS IN HEAVEN.
There were several friends waiting
about the coffin on Wednesday night,
and hope had almost died out in the
hearts of her parents when the color
IN the face was noticed to grow
deeper. The bosom heaved, and
finally the eyelids trembled. There
were spasmodic twitchings of the limbs,
and the girl seemed to be in troub-
led dream. Finally, after two hours
of this troubled sleep, the eyes open
ed, and, seeing her friends sitting
about, she exclaimed: 'I've had such
funny dream. l thought | was dead
tilIl WSul W uSdNCu. olls IL Wdo oo
beautiful there, such sweet music and
happiness everywhere. saw Uncle
John and he is so contented. 1t was
like sitting in great cathedral and
listening to divine music with ones
eyes shut"
She continued in this strain for
some time, and was greatly surprised
when told she had been unconscious
for five days. She felt no fatigue,
was not unusually hungry, and ap-
peared generally as well as usual.
The case is a mystery to the physi-
clans. Generally they ascribe her
period Of catalepsy to physical con-
ditions favorable to suspended anima-
ton. She has been a close biblical
student, and her piety is Of the deep
est, SO that her "dream" is the natu-
raj result in such a case.

His Physician Only Counsels Him About
Exercise and Food.
BAR HARBoR, Me-. July 21.-When DR..
Taylor called upon his patient, Secretary
Blaine, In the morning, he found him
about to go out walking and the two
walked down to the cottage of Emmons
Blaine together.
The physician says Mr.. Blaine is con-
tinually improving. All he can do is to
watch his progress and counsel him about
exercise and food.
The secretary spends his time here about
as usual in summer. After breakfast he
examines his mail, discusses with his secre.
tary matters needing his attention; sees
his friends who call, and about II o'clock
drives or walks out. He returns about l
and usually goes out a second time about
s in the afternoon. He spends his evenings
with his family. Mr.. Baine's appearance,
whether riding or walking, shows great
improvement in health.

A Woman's Strange Burden.
THE CASE OF MRS. JOHNSON THAT WAS
A GREAT PUZZLE TO MEDICAL MEN.

SPRINGFIELD, o., July I0.-Mrs.
Dittsen Johnson died near Creston,
Monday morning, of consumption.
She was in her forty ninth year. Thir-
teen years ago Mrs. Johnson was de.
clared by physicians to be enciente,
but no child was born. Eight years
ago she gave birth to child, a boy,
now living and in good health. Dur
ing all those years, until she was seized
by consumption, she enjoyed good
health. ft ''
After Mrs. Johnston's death an au-
topsy was held, and in the abdominal
cavity the physicians found the
skeleton of child, which she had car
ried for thirteen years. Mrs. Johnson
had always insisted that she was carry
ing the strange burden, but the doctors
had not the sagacity to discover the
truth. .n

When step on that strange land,
Will l know the loved and known2
Shall / vainly seek my own,
In the throng that comes to greet
Strangers on the golden street
Or will God with his own hand,
Lead me in that wondrous land,
To the friends who once below
Loved me, years and years ago;
To the nearest kindred ties /?
What 4 meeting o. the skies
What a meeting it will be
Parents, friends and kin TO see
Happy in that crystal home
With the Lord they dearly own,
How the anthems will resound
When the absent one is found.
Then the little gathered knot
And the friends so long forgot,
Shall with joyous note proclaim
That for them the Lord was slain;
And to all who will believe,
Christ the Lord will such receive.

Unloading.

The admission of Mr.. Quay that he
will probably retire from the Chair
manship of the Republican National
Committee is followed by report
from Washington that w. w. Dudley
will likewise "probably resign as Treas,
urer of the Committee at its meeting
on The 2oth inst.
The meaning of these changes is
plain. The Republican party has de-
termined to unload. In spite of its
boastful front it has not forgotten the
tremendous defeat which it encounter
ed last year. As the campaign of '9a
approaches it wishes to assume vir-
tue" though it have it not
w. w. Dudley was shown by his
own letters to have melted and organ
lied the bribery of Indiana voters in
"blocks of five.' The World charged
and proved this. Dudley entered u
blufting libel suit for campaign effect
only But he refrained from swearing
to his complaint, and was eventually
thrown out of court for declining to
submit to an examination upon it.
And yet Dudley was defended and
saved from prosecution by President
Harrison's District Attorney, and has
made fortune from partisan pickings
thrown in his way by the officials at
Washington.
Quay was charged by The World
with being an embezzler and corrup-
tionist, and the witnesses to prove it
were named. He interposed for months
a silence that was confession, and when
too late he spoke his denial satisfied
nobody. t.t
And yet for two years and more
Quay has remained at the head of the
Republican organization and has been
recognized as the Assistant President
for Pennsylvania.
