Young Mrs. Blame.

New York, April 16-Mrs. James G..
Blaine, Jr, is about TO take up her resi-
dence in South Dakota. She will reside
there long enough to obtain an absolute
divorce from her husband, the youngest son
of President Harrison's secretary of state.
Mrs. Blaine has been contemplating taking
this step for some time but IL has been
carefully kept secret. Jimmie" Blaine's
Jr.'s, sudden and secret departure for
Europe few weeks ago, under the wing
OF Special Envoy John w. Foster. was not
altogether IN the interest of reciprocity
with Spain CT of the diplomatic service.
He left the country, so it is averred, TO
avoid the serving of divorce papers opon
himself by his wife. The rumor that
young Mrs. Blaine's divorce will be fol-
lowed by her marriage to one of the most
eminent professional men in this city has
been current for some months, but the
interesting fact that among their friends
this rumor has already become almost a
conviction that the happy man is DIR.
William Tillanghast Bull, TO whose skill
Mrs. Blaine's cure is attributed, is now
made public for the first time

South Dakota's Divorce Mil

The famous divorce mill at Sioux
Falls, S. D., had some queer grist the
other day. A New York member of
of the divorce colony asked for a di-
vOrce from his wife, whom he mar
ried in New YORK i'll 1887. While
this suit was pending the sheriff
served on the applicant a copy of a
summons and complaint fled in Lon
don a few weeks ago. The complaint
alledges that this same gentleman
was married in England in 1865, and
one child born to the union. Two
years later the husband left for the
United States, and the English wife
heard nothing of him after three
years. She discovered his where
abOuts couple of weeks ago, and be-
gan suit for divorce. So the curious
case is presented of a bigamous hus-
band suing for divorce and being him
self sued at the same time.

THIS government has nothing to do
with missionary projects FOR China.
1t is no more the province of the
United States to take into account
the heathendom of China in dealing
with that nation than it is to take in
to account the catholicism of Spain
and Italy in dealing with those coun.
tries. Uncle Sam wants no inter-
course with China that cannot be
made financially profitable; and none
at all, under any circumstances that
necessitate the admission of China
men into this country.

Curious Watches

An American traveller, once saw a
rare and wonderful Japanese time
piece. He describes it as being in a
frame three feet wide and five feet
long representing MONDAY land
scape of great lovlIness. In the fore
ground were plum and cherry trees
and rich plants in full bloom; in the
rear a hill, gradual is ascent, from
which flowed, or seemed to flow, a
cascade. admirably initiated in crys-
tai. From this point a thread like
stream glided along, encircling rocks
and islands in its windings, finally
losing itself in a far. off stretch of
woodland. In miniature sky above
a golden sun turned on a silver wire,
striking the hours on silver gongs as
1t passed. Each hour was marked on
the frame and indicated by a slowly
creeping tortoise, which served in the
place of hand or pointer. A bird Of
exquisite plumage sang at the close
of each hour, aud as the song ceased
a mouse sprang from q grotto near
by, and the scampering over the hill
in the garden, was soon lost to view.

THE democratic press OF Texas is
bowling blsckmail because the de.
partment clerks at Washington are
going home in November to vote, 1t
may he unfortunate that more of these
clerks are republican than democratic,
but it is as natural as is it untortu
nate. The party that spells Nation
with big n naturally draws to
its ranks the men whose clerical du-
ties entirely center in and cluster
around that idea. The republican
party stands for nationality, not mere
statehood; for federation not confed-
Grafton.
