New YORK, April 5-Referring 10 the
| report that State Senator Bull of Newport.
| K. l., had stated that Mrs. James O. Blaine
| Jr., was infatuated, in a certain sense, with
| his brother, DR.. William T. Bull. Il hand
| some and successful surgeon ana physician
| who had been That lady's medical advisor,
| an intimate friend OF Mrs. Blaine to-day
| said There is not Il word of truth in
Senator Bulls statement. 1t IS Us idle Us
runCr that Mrs. Blaine is 10 marry DR..
Bull. Mrs. Blaine is welded to her art and
will marry no one. How could She! She
has not Yet obtained q divorce from
her husband. That Mrs. Blaine
feels a deep sense OF gratitude
toward DR.. Bull there can be no doubt
He has been the most persistent of her
physicians. and IS deserving of the highest
praise for the skill he has shown in the
treatment Of Mrs. Blaiue's malady. An
operation he performed upon the cords OF
ner right leg IS IN fair way 10 full restore
that crippled member DR. Bull
would not allow Mrs. Blaine 10 Wear
thlck-soed shoes to hide the discrepancy
IN the length of her invalid limb. but he
has succeeded in enabling Mrs Blaine TO
walk without crutches. That Dr. Bull feels
deep interest in Mrs. Blaine don't deny
but his attentions have never been those of
lover. he spent so much time with Mrs.
Blaine III the treatment Of her case that
idle gosSlpS began TO talk. DR.. Bull would
sit for hours watching Mrs. Blaine walk
across the floor, keenlr studying her prog
IeSs. 1t is true Mrs. Blaine has been iudiS-
Greet in little things, such as buying Christ
mas gifts ut Titfany's for Dr.. Bulls rela-
tlves, and riding about with Dr. Bull in his
carriage. The rumOr of their engagement
originated in society"
1T has been Mrs. Blaines misfortune"
added my informant, Ito be regarded with
envy and jealousy by people in society, who
have never missed an opportunity TO con-
meet her name with any one who showed
more than u slight interest in her Mrs
Blaine has gone to Columbus, her old
home, to remain until she has procured a
divorce from james &. Blaine, .Jr The at
tOrney. eX Governor George Hoadlev of
Ohio, has been in in communication with
the Blaine family sometime to this end l
have seen letters from Blaine to the effect
that no opposition will be made to q divorce
on their part. Mrs. Blaine did think of
taking up residence in South Dakota to
notOriety that would likely follow such q
course, and decided not TO take the step.
Mrs Blaine is nearly restored to health
Not long ago Daniel Freedman called upon
her and she danceda minute to impress him
with the fact OF her recovery. His offer to
star her whenever she is ready still holds
good. -
Ex-Governor Hoadly was out OF town
Yesterday. and DR.. Bull was not at home.
james G. Blaine. Jr., sailed recently for
Spain on private mission for his father,
but he is not to be away long.
Last winter young Blaine disgraced him
self at 4 Washington ball by taking of his
shoes and patting ladies' on the back.
