Mr.. sLAINE's HEALTH.
Conflicting Stories to the secretary'a
Physical Condition.

ConnAetin& Stories as to the Secretary's
Physical Condition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Many conflict
ing stories are in circulation as to Score.
tary Blalne's physical condition and the
reasons for mis- sudden withdrawal from
the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
One of Mr.. Blaine's closest Congress
sional friends said:
"Mr. Blaine is in very poor health, but
he refuses to recognize the fact. He has
good days and bad days and will not
listen to suggestions from his friends
He may have some chronic trouble He
is careless as to what he eats, selecting
the richest food on all occasions In con-
sequence he shows decided symptoms of
the natural results from an aggravated
attack of Bright's disease of the kidneys.
His personal friends advise his retirement
from public life, and they are doing
everything in their power to discourage
the idea of HE becoming a Presidential
nominee.
Sometimes he seems disposed to yield
to friendly suggestions, and several
times has been on the eve of making a
formal announcement that under no
circumstances will he accept the nom
nation. Then SOME of his political adj
mirers get around him and persuade
him to remain silent until after the next
Republican convention. In the mean
time the anti-Harrison element in the
Republican party in Congress has been
advised of Mr.. Blaine's real condition,
and they. are now looking over the politi-
cal field for a candidate to take his place -
Another friend of Mr.. Blaine, who is
familiar with his physical condition,
confirms the above statement, and adds
that one of the most painful symptoms
OF his malady is Mr.. Blaine's inability to
express himself consecutively and orally.
On the other hand he can sit down and
write his views as brilliantly as ever
Because of this misfortune he refrains
from attending public meetings and ban
quets.
Contrary to the advice of his physician
Mr.. Blaine insists upon eating rich food,
and during the past year he has changed
his doctor several times because the in
sisted upon it that he should know his
true condition when he refused to follow
their advice and instructions.
The same authority says that Mr.
Blaine is losing his boosted faculty of
remembering names and faces. He now
fails to remember some of his closest
friends and cannot recall their names.
At his last diplomatic reception one of
his personal friends and official associates
met him and addressed him Familiarity
MIR. Blaine looked at him in blank amaze
ment, while at the same time he nary
ously patted his hands together in an aoA
stracted sort of way until Gail Hamilton,
cousin of Mrs. Blaine, who accompanied
him, recalled the gentleman's name.
Explanations followed, but the gentle
man in question naturally commented
upon the circumstance with his friends
afterward,

A MOTHERS CRIME.


Found Dead.
NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 22.-Mrs. Reilly,
of 80 Sheffield street, brought year-and-
a-half-old baby to the police station on
Tuesday night and said she had found it
in her hall.
The captain of the police found that it
was Mrs. Riley's daughters child, and
sent the woman home.
Early this morning the child died from
exposure, and the mother of the child,
Mrs. Lusetta Travis, has been ar
rested.
The story connected with the affair is a
sad one.
few months ago Mrs. Travis went to
the police station with the baby, and
said she had no place to stay as her
mother had turned her out of the house
She was kept in a cell for two days and
then her husband, who is dying of con-
sumption, came after her.
He is unable to work, but Mrs. Reilly
thinks he is and for that reason will not
keep her daughter and baby.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Travis thought
she would make her mother take care of
the child, so placed it in the cold hall,
where it was not found for several hours

A stowaway's Story of Atrocities In the
Pacific Ocean.


Pacific Ocean.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ga remark
able story is told by stowawasy named
James White who has reached this city
from Honolulu. He shipped on a small
trading schooner last May in Australia
for trip among Pacific Ocean Islands.
The schooner had a crew of fifteen
men and was under the command of a
man named Captain Cotton. White be-
came suspicious when he learned that
there were several guns on board, but
was informed that they would be traded
to Islanders.
The schooner, on its first landing, alb
Quoted five young girls, and was pur-
sued by natives in canoes, six or eight
natives being killed, and the rest being
devoured by sharks.
The vessel then touched at another is
land some weeks later, and a fight was
had in which one of the schooner's crew
was killed.
A lot of sandal wood was seized at
still another island, but the schooner
was chased by French war vessel which,
however, did not get within reach.
White then decided to leave the vessel.
and deserted at the first opportunity.

Operation on Gov. Russell.

BosToN, Jan. Ex-Governor Russell
intends to have surgical operation per-
formed on his throat tomorrow. Some
thing on the vocal cords needs removing.
The case will probably involve tracheot-
ony, but the operation will not in any
sense be dangerous. AS a result the
Governor will not be able to make public
speeches for three or four weeks. It is
understood, however, that he has accept
ed an invitation to attend the opening of
the fair which the Ladies' Aid Associa-
ton will give early in February for the
benefit of the Soldiers Home.

Lonreat Humnn Hair.

Mercedes Lopez, a Mexican woman
llvlng just across the river from this
place. has an extraordinary suit of hair,
probably the longest in the world, says
the Leadvllle Democrat. She is about
hve feet in height, and when she stands
erect her hair trails on the ground four
feet and eight inches. When she sits
down and draws her locks about her
they hide her entire person SO heavily
that 1t is like thick clothing. The pres.
ent growth on her head is only little
over five years old, for it gives her such
headaches that she is compelled to cut
it frequently. Every month she sells
large quantities of it to a hair dealer
She is the wife of common sheep
herder, and is herself ignorant, but her
tresses are the beautiful black hair of
the old CaStilian women.

A young couple who had just been
married at Prague determined to make
their way to their new home in Stettin
by balloon voyage instead Of by railway
journey, which, it is gravely suggested,
they thought to be less safe in these
days of frequent continental railway
accidents. The balloon came down at
Beeskow, in Brandenburg. and could
not be further used without reflling, a
process for which there seems to have
been no facilities at hand. The mar.
ried couple were, after all, obliged tc
resort to the hateful and prosaic rail.

CHAPTER KIN

Only those who have taken upon them
selves vows of silence can comprehend
how little talk is really required in the
exigencies Of ordinary every day life.
To Anita it was a curious revelation,
when they had settled back again in the
old home life-the old life, but now so
changed and new-that Donald and she,
who had been once for very lighthearted-
ness and joy in life, so full of idle talk
and laughter. could now get on with
such chary use of words.
Donald was little at the house He
was never there when rational excuse
could be framed for being anywhere else;
and when the memorable routine of eat
ing and sleeping called him home he
simply met his wife with grave polite
ness as taciturn as her own Each felt
Sullenly constrained to be silent, waiting
for the ether to speak, each finding a
puerile point of pride in the impregna-
BILE good breeding that could maintain
an unbroken courtesy under circum-
stances so exasperating, for Anita would
rather have been struck than be forced
to meet that chill, courteous indiffer-
ence day after day. while Donald was
sometimes frightened at the mad i'm
pulse that came upon him to seize her in
his arms and savagely shake her out of
her cool, passionless calm.
A slow, maddening fortnight had
rolled away, when one day, as he rose
from the table after luncheon, Donald
stopped, determined expression hard
ening his pale face. Anita's nerves
thrilled with a consciousness that a
climax was come, while, with cold
pretense of not seeing, she turned toward
the kitchen, as if called by some house
wifely duty.
II wish to have a few minutes talk
with you, Anita" he said, with glance
that commanded her to stop.

Bound to be Married.

NEwBURG, N. Y, Jan. 22.-Miss
Charlotte Clausen, the pretty 19-year-old
daughter of ex-Sheriff Henry p Clausen
of this place, and Valentine J. Kohl, son
of the late postmaster of Middlehope,
were quietly married here without the
consent of their parents, and immedi-
ately left on three weeks wedding tour
The sole objections of the young lady's
parents was on accout of her age, and it
is probable that on their return all will
be forgiven.

Hard Study Results in Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-The death of
David Glassburn, teacher of the Mines
School in Bnllskin Township, near AL

stance. About year ago Glassburn's
skull was fractured by the kick of q
horse, whereupon he forgot all his previ-
GUS knowledge, and it required years
hard study for him to get a teachers
certificate. The mental strain of this
