The Blaine sentiment is fast becoming
irresistible. 1t is no local matter, but is
conspicuous on all sides. 1t sweeps over
the country as tidal wave, and evinces
the strength necessary to carry the Re-
publican nominee TO the White House.
His suitability for the Presidency is indis-
putable. His magnetic and administrative
capacity are unequaled. He stands head
and shoulders above all his cotemporaries.
He Is respected throughout the world for
his craftsmanship and diplomacy. And
he has done more TO encourage home man.
ufactureS and industrial independence
than any living man.
The party of Protection can conjure
with his name asst can with no other, and
1t is rapidly being aroused to the fact that
he is unquestionably the strongest man
for the nomination. There is no egotism
about the matter on his side. His health
has hitherto been the only thing in the
nations way. Now that his physical
strength is assured, there remains no
further doubt in the matter. That he be-
lieves himself strong enough for the task
involved is indicated not only by the more
or less direct communications from him
self to that effect, but also by his
permitting the highly satisfactory results
f Dr. Peppers medical examination to be
published. Did any doubt about the mat
ter remain, it must be removed by Blalne's
silence He is not the man to allow his
party to be so seriously inconvenienced as
it would be by nominating a man merely
to have the nomination refused.
Blaine should be nominated, and there
Is every indication that votes will be given
for him az Minneapolis with ecstatic en-
thusiasm, for the success of his party and
his creed demands it.

A MARVELLOUS TIMEPIEcE.
Chicago Fair VIII Have a Clock Which Ex-
cells the Strasburg Cathedral.


Pearson's weeKly.l
There is every probability that the Chicago
Exhibition will contain the greatest miracle
in clock making that mechanical skill has
yet achieved. The famous clock of Stras-
burg Cathedral may now be considered as
literally and metaphorically knocked out
of time, for this wondrous horologe
does everything that it does and
many other maryels besides. 1t
Is 81 inches high, nine feet wide and three
feet deep, Once wound mp it will mark time
until it has struck total of $685. and-Dar
accidents and the end of the world-it will
go for centuries without needing readjust-
ment. Ifnothing goes wrong with the works.
one mechanical angel will strike the
minutes on a bell. and another will
strike the quarter-hours, while the hours
themselves will be told of by skeleton
representing death. At the last stroke his
majesty will retire and the II apostles will
appear and bow before an image of Christ.
Ats o'clock procession OF monks will pass
into church, and just before midnight q
watchman will come on duty and
give the signals for each hour
to be struck until A. NJ, when
he retires in favor of a rooster which an
nounces the approach Of dawn in the usual
way. The seasons of the year will be repre-
sented by appropriate figures, and at Christ
mas time cboristers will come forth and sing
carols. If the clock could only tell us what
the good folk of, say, A. d. 1892 will think of
1t, It would be perfect; but even clockwork
cannot do everything.

WORLDS FAIR POSTAL SERVICE.

Wanamaker Thinks That 100000 Will
BE Just About the Cost.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Secretary Foster to-
day transmitted to the House a letter from
the Postmaster General asking for sl6s, ,047
for the postal service incident to the
Worlds Fair. The Postmaster General
recommended that this appropriation be
made in his last annual report, and in II let
ter accompanying the estimate he strongly
renews his former recommendation.
This estimate, Mr.. Wanamaker says, Is
based on information ascertained by an In
spector who visited Chicago and conferred
with the Executive Committe OF the Fair
and with the Postmaster at that city.

When the innocent cause of all this
reached Jersey City weIl-dressed young
lady with drawn veil rushed forward and
kiss after kiss upon his lips and checks.
Another lady at the same time bounded into

The gentleman had by this time disengaged
the arms of the first impetuous female, who
began at once to blushingly apologize for
her mistake and back away. But the poor
ond lady was his wife. She had seized his
arm and was sobbing choice assortment Of
sobs punctured by exclamations that were
happily lost in the rush of escaping steam.
1t took him week to satisfy his wife that
the dispatches merely meant that he would
be SO busy downtown that he would
not be able TO see her till next day;

An Easy Way to Purify Water.

A simple way to purify water is to sprinkle
tablespoonful OF powdered alum into
hogshead of water, stirring the water at the
same time. This will precipitate all the
impurities to the bottom after being
allowed few hours to settle, and will so
purify 1t that it will be found to possess
nearly all the freshness and clearness of the
finest spring water. A pailful con tanning
four gallons may be purified in this manner
by using no more tnsn q teaspoonful of
the alum,
