THE HOME VIEW OF HARRISON.
What They Say in Indianapolis About MIR
Blaine and the President.

New York, Oct 8.-A special from In
danapolis to the Sun, says: The anxiety
of President Harrison's managers in this
State to learn something concerning the
real intentions of Mr, Blaine so far as the
approaching nomination for the Presi-
dency is concerned is becoming alarming.
They assumed for time that the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of State under
stood each other, but now word comes
from Washington that there is no such
understanding, and that neither the
President NOR any member of his Cabinet
has an understanding with Mr.. Blaine.
The fact has leaked out that there never
has been anything like an intimacy be-
tween the President and his Secretary OF
State, and that there has long existed a
positive colduess between the families OF
these distinguished gentlemen. The fact
is now recalled that Mr.. Blaine has meyer
accompanied the President or any of his
electioneeripg trips over the country, but
has let the President SO it alone, while he
remained at home and persistently applied
himself to the duties Of his Office until he
came near running his health.
One of the Presidents nearest friends
said in recent conversation that Mr.
Blaine was SO short mud business ike in
/ his intercourse withthe President rs to
cause remarks He will not wait one mo-
ment TO see the President, no matter with
whom he is talking. but will interrupt the
business Or interview, aud leave the mo-
menf the business in hand is concluded

dent is greatly annoyed at Biaine's 81

when any one Of his intimates breach the

II know noshing,Khateverof Mr.. Blaine's
intentions on the subject, aid have been
without any direct information from either
Mr.. Blaine.or his physician as to Mr.
Blaine's condition all summer" Of course
he has had reports from Cabinet officers
and mutual friends who have visited the
Secretary of State at Bar Harbor. but has
no direct or accurate information from
Mr.. Blaine or his physician, MS he would
have had if he were personally interested.

From Experience.

Advice for Their Guidance by One Speaking
From Experience.
There are few thoroughly successful
business women, chiefly because they
aspire 10 something unattainable, name
ly- position in society, and as re-
suit, naturally meet a rebuff If a
woman starting in business will attend
to it carefully, seeking nothing but a
money gain there will be but few fail
ures. Another idea is to seek the ad-
ministration of woman, not of man;
if woman loves woman, so will they be
admired by the other sex. There is
nothing SO lovable in woman as the
gentle dignity which says,
am woman in womans
place, and the mere matter of not
seeking admiration makes her all the
more sought after. Never try to attract
attention in a public place; never speak
of being business woman in a street
car or thoroughfare Simply drawing
public attention is not drawing public
regard. Keep in woman's place al
though you are occupying mans posi-
ton. Never allow social pleasures
to interfere with business dur
ing business hours. always pre-
serve reserved appearance; always be
agreea BILE, never discourteous; if com
plants are made, try to repair the
wrong; never allow your temper tc
show itself, and remember the ole
adage, sugar catches more flies thar
vinegar" Lastly-but not least by any
means-do not go into business unless
you are actually forced to- If there il
a man in your family do not attempt t.
help make the living unless you are de
prived of actual necessities, for men oe
come careless and neglect women whel
they see they can do so; better try t
| live on his moderate income than in
crease it with your own labor, which
in time decreases his admiration TO
you. Help him in many ways; lool
after his clothes that they may las
longer; look after the grocery and othe
bills necessary, and keep them in &C
cordance with you husbands income

when his business goes wrong; say t
him. Don't bother your head. dear,
