Mrs. JAS. q. blaine, Jr.. WIN Try to Get

Divorce.
NEW York, April l5.-The Recorder
says. Mrs. james q. Blaine, jr.. is
about TO take up her residence In South
Dakota. She will reside there long
enough to obtain an absolute divorce
! from her husband, the youngest son Of
the secretary OF state. Mrs Blaine las
been contemplating taking this step for
some time, but II has been carefully
kept secret.
"Ihe rumor that young Mrs. Blaine's
divorce will be followed soon By her
marriage TO one Of the most cminei
professional men in this city, has been
current for some months, but the inter
esting fact that among their friends
this rumOr has already become almost
Il conviction that the man is DIR.
William Tillinghast Bull, 20 whose
skill Mrs. l3laine's cure is attributed is
now made public for tho FIRST time. DIR.
Bull stands undoubtedly at the head Of
the surgical branch of his profession In
this country. He was the first Ameri-
can surgeon to perform laparotOmy sue
cessfully for gunshot wounds Of the abb
domen, and has since been in the van Of
the daring and successful operators Of
the United States. Dr. Bull WAS mem
TONED with special honor al the inter-
national congress In Berlin IN 1890, and
his professional standing is such rs to
command instant respect. DE- Bull is a
man Of about six feet ia height. erect as
a soldier, alert and 1.-THE OF figure, with
a voice expressive Of great resolution
and iirmness, striking gray eye
dropping brown mustacae, square fore
att 4sf
iron gray hair.
AS young Mrs Blaine is Catholic,
ANA ~ the Catholic church is not sup
posed to sanction divorces among its
members, a wonder may naturally arise
as T. whether Mrs Blaine has proposed
TO abandon her church in order to be
freed from the bonds Of her first we'd
lock- But such is not the case. Mrs.
Blaine has been assured by Archbishop
Corrigan, as well as BY Bishop Waiter
son, Of Columbus o.. that when her di
vorce has heen secured a special dispen
sation will be forthcoming from the
Catholic church validating ii from the
standpoint Of church law and ethics and
recognizing her still as faithful
daughter Of the churcn. In the selee-
tion OF her counsel her friends showed
great hsluteness. EN-lrOFefnOr George
ioadly, OF Ohio, now a resident Of New
York, has. so far rs is known, been as
sociated With divorce proceedings in
only two other cases These were
the suits brought by Mrs. Kate
Chase Spraguc against the young
war governor of Rhode Island. and the
between Edmund If. PEN
dleton Of Cincinnati. and his wife As
in the Nevins-Blaine case, Governor !
iioadly was. as in the other two, in |
duced largely by personal considera-
tions. to take part As counsel. BY a |
coincidence, Handsome Dick
Negias Of Columbus, o., wai suitor
for the hand OF this very Kate Chase,
and ii is bis daughter, Marie Ncyins |
Blaine in whose behalf Governor lload-
IN il now acting as counsel in the nego- |
liations between this young woman ant
the son Of the secretary Of state Of the |
United States Young Mrs Blaines |
mother was relative OF the pendletons /
also, and Of other noted Ohio families |
and was one OF the most beautiful and
women Ia the country.
