DYING WISH IGNORED.
Gamblers Failed to Care for Teddy
Guthrie's Wife.

The wife of the late Teddy Guthrie, the
gambler. was buried yesterday in Tacoma at
the expense OF her father, Mr.. Funk, and her
brother, George Funk, OF that city. 1t il stated
among the Tacoma gambling fraternity
that before Teddy Guthrie died, in
this city, he called several OF his
fraternai comrades to his bedside and extorted
from them promise TO take care of his young
wife and allow her not to want for anything.
Hence il is minated at Tacoma that the Seat
tie habitues of the green cloth have not carried
out Teddy's wish in the matter of caring for
his wife and defraying the expenses of her bur
lei, as it ia claimed none of them ever visited
her during her sickness 1t is understood that
the Seattle men were to care for Mrs Guthrie
pain OF being ''spooked' by Teddy.

Act-OtheT Notes.
WASHINGTON. ID. c. Oct. 2S.-Mr
Blaine's letter endorsing the McKin-
ley tariff act is the principal subject of
conversation among the few politicians
left in Washington by the heated state
campaigns. II was IA decided Surprise
70 the democrats who somehow had
got the idea that Mr.. Blaine was still
opposed tn the Mckinley act and Ia it's
author. There Is uO doubt thar AT one
time Mr.. Blaine WAS very bitter
towards the Mckinley bill. and towards
its author. because Major Mckinley
had positively refused after several
leng conferences to incorporate Mr..
Blaine's reciprocity ideas into the
original house tariff bill; and il is
known that some of the men who now
talk the loudest about Reciprocity
voted for the senate rpriprOcity
amendment to the Mckinley bill more
to placate Mr.. Blaine then because
they really favored the idea. The re-
publicans all pretend to take Mr..
Blaine's letter as q matter of course,
but to not few of them il WAS = very
pleasant surprise. as they had suppos-
ed that Mr.. Blaine would, as he had
done In the congressional elections
last year, keep his hands of. All
agree that the letter will help MrKin-
lev, differing Of course according tn
political preiudices as to the extent Of
help.
