Enlporid Republican: The reports
regarding Mr.. Blaine's health are to
the effect that he is worse; that he is
better; that he has Bright's disease;
that he has not Bright's disease; that
he is Frustrated; that he drives and
exercises all day; that he is given to
deep fits of melancholy; that he is
bright and cheerful; that his mind is
breaking down; that he is mentally
strong and vigorous; that he has de-
cided to resign: that he has no notion
of resigning. BY reading the daily
reDorts one can keep posted upon the
big statesman's condition and under
stand just how he is, OF has been or
might, could, would or should have
been, or may, can or must have been.

years ago he served acceptably in Elm

economical disposition of the county

THE auyNEApoLIs CoyyEsr,os.

Probably the largest religious as
sembly ever gathered was the annual
international convention of the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeav-
or which met in Minneapolis last week.
Their delegates came from every part
of the United States and of Canada,
making host, Il, 900 strohg-a worthy
representation of an organization of
1000, 900 members. Twelve thousand
voices sang "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Namep and repeated the 23rd
Psalm in concert. That must have
been sufficient inspiration for the elo-
quent speeches which followed.
This great meeting is not without
its significance. The delegates COM
ing from the various seets, Presbyter-
ian, Methodist, Christian, Baptist and
others, forgot their differences of creed
and formed one body of Christian
workers. If religious discord and
strife are ever to cease, if there is ever
TO be union Of sects on the broad, es-
sential doctrines of Christianity, it
will be brought by just sucn organiza-
tions as theis among the younger and
less prejudiced members of the
churches-societies for the promotion
of Christian endeavor, and not for the
of Christian dogma.

Sleeves That Are Admirable.

The most picturesque sleeve of today
and yet the one which seems to have found
the fewest number of admirers, is the per.
feet Valois sleeve, says Miss Mantalini in
The Pail Mall Budget. Sarah Bernhardt
appreciates its beauty; 50 does Mrs. Lang
try. 1t Is slightly full on the shoulders,
though raised a very little; shapes in al
the elbow; fits the arm quite closely, bat
easily; comes down in point over the
hand, the end of the point being just where
the dimples are.
A long sleeve makes the hand look tiny;
an elbow sleeve cuts Off the best part of a
woman'S arm, shows that which is usually
the worst, and certainly does not decrease
the size of the hand; the short puff sleeve
that permits the shoulders to show above
it is for evening most desirable style,
whether the arm be q plump or a slender
one, If the arm IS slender the glove can be
worn to cover the elbow and then the
plump part of the arm would be visible
But happy Is the woman who has arms like
Mrs, Kendal-white, firm, and shaped like
those that might have belonged to Venus.
