POLITICAL GH0ULISH GLEE.

What an Independent Piper Thinks OF
Comments on Blaine,s Illness.
Chicago News.l
Those correspondents who are dwelling
upon Mr.. BIaine's illness with the apparent
belief that in some way they are thereby
damaging his political chances should curb
their tempers and their pens. Whatever
the public thinks of Mr.. Blaines work as O
public servant, 1t is hardly ready to sympa-
thize with anybody's ghoulish glee over his
misfortuneS.
That the Secretary of State is Ill must be a
matter of regret to any one who pretends to
any sort of decency. 1t Is one thing to OPP
pose mans politics; it is quite another to
rejoice over his sufferings and his possibly
forced retirement from public service.

Sweetness Not Effeminate.


Cleveland Leader.l
The United States and Great Britain con-
sumo about IS per cent as much sugar as all
the rest of the world. This fact is an inter.
esting commentary upon the theory that the
use of sweets is debilitating to mankind.
The two countries which beat the world In
sugar eating are abundantly able to hold
their own against any nations which run
more to raw meat and coarse vegetable
products.

BLAINE PoKED THE HORNETS.
A Trick the Secretary of State Played Upon
Professor Ely.

Professor Ely.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.]
BROWNSVILLE, May 1.-THE late Prof Ely,
many years ago principal of the school here,
numbered James G. Blaine among his pupils,
and told story on the present Prime Minis
ter that goes to show he did not differ
greatly from other boys. The professor al
ways began his story by saying: Speaking
of stirring up hornets nests" and then
went on to tell how Jim Blaine, with his
brother Bob, and the present proprietor of
the Hopkins Hotel here, Thomas Hopkins,
discovered a hornets nest under the school
house, with a convenient knot hole leading
directly up to where Prof. Ely's chair stood.
One day the boys mentioned "played
hockey" and, securing ladders, returned to
the school cellar, where Jim poked the hor-
nets The amazed teacher was stung three
times before he escaped into the open air,
twice on his more than ample nose. Prof.
Ely said he pardoned the boys after the pain
and swelling had subsidized, but there is more
than room for suspicion here that he
soundly thrashed young Blaine for his share
in the enterprise.

COAL NEAR NEW CASTLE.
Operators Think They Have Discovered Q
Valuable Vein of the Mineral

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW CASTLE, May H.-Coal operators IN
this section are greatly Interested In the de-
velopment of an extensive vein Of coal Ii
miles east of this city. Though there Is some
doubt us to the depth of the vein, which
seems to vary, the company, formed OF Pitts
burg and Eastern capitalists, with some
local interest, is pushing the branch road
from the FIT. Wayne to their 800 acres OF coal
lands 1t is the opinion Of many experts
that near Ellwood, where the road is to be
run, the upper and lower Kfttanning veins
unite, and form perfect vein six feet thick.
These two veins are separated by about 20
feet of shale usually, and if they unite, as 1s
thought, it will prove of the greatest I'M
portance to Lawrence county.

traditions in the epic of the Nibelungs.

epics of the Greeks and Latins than we are
