BLAINE'S HEALTH.
The Maine Statesman Undoubtedly In a
Precarious Condition

The Maine Statesman Undoubtedly In a
Precarious Condition
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.---Blaines condi-
tion was again the subiaot of universal in
terest to-day, made so by the publication
of the statement that his ailment had taken
a turn for the worse, and that his life was
in imminent danger. If physicians and
members of the family are to be believed
such statements are misleading and not
warranted by facts. As near as can be-
learned the attack from which Blaine is
now suffering is similar to and no more
dangerous than those which preceded it.
He caught cold and was imprudent in diet.
Same congestion followed and there was
fever i'll turn. The stomach was made tor
pid and there VIVA difficulty in digestion.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
it can be said that Blaine has shown no
signs of mental alteration or delirlum
There has been much difficulty encountered
in the effort to get reliable news as 80 his
condition, and this has fostered the origin
and spread of exaggerated stories of his
condition. 1t is learned that Blaine will
soon be removed to some point in the
south, with tho hone that a warmer climate
will have beneficial effect on his bron-
chial troubles, which hsvo been aggravated
since the cold spell set in.

to Pose for the Montana
Statue.
She Says She Lived In Helena and
Has Some Friends.
Here.
Com M issioner Bickford Now Has Two of
Her Photographs, Taken In Airy Co.'S
tune, in His Possession.

T he fame of that Montana statue of sill
yer has gone abroad and there is another
asprant for the honor Of posing rs the
model. Worlds Fair Commissioner Bick-
ford has received two photographs from u
young woman who ia student of dramatic
art at the Chicago Conservatory. and who
will make her debut as an actress this win
ter. She states that she lived in Helena
for some years and has many friends here.
/. is this part that influenced her to request
that her name be not mentioned. Perhaps
her friends and acquaintances will recog-
nize her by the following descriptions OF
her two photographs.
One of the photographs is n left side
view of a woman apparently five feet eight
inches in height. She has regular features,
a Grecian nose and small. firm-set mouth.
The classic poise to the head is somewhat
marred by the modern bangs that eurmount
the forehead. This is somewhat atoned for
by the back hair, which is done up in
small coil, leaving the graceful poise OF tho
head and neck clearly defined. mantle
of white ucross the shoulder and tied there,
stretches around to the front and back,
leaving nothing between the vision of the
observer and the full round arm and deli
cate wrist and shapely hand Of tho fair
figure. Even the dimpe on the elbow shows
up clearly, and like that of Katisha, people
would 90 miles to see it. The mantle or
toga divides below the waist, exposing a
thigh of MAJ yelous beauty of contour and
of exact physical proportions. The perfec-
tion of the lower part of the limb is clearly
shown to the ankle, and there the vision
vanishes behind the flowing drapery. Such
| as is visible of the aspirants form might
be called poem on beauty and discourse
on shape. The arm is undoubtedly bare,
but an inspection of the other exposed
member shows that it is covered with per-
feet fitting tights, while the left arm hangs
listlessly by the sde and the hand, appar-
emily without intent, holds asunder the
folds of the raiment to display the lower
limb, the right hand gracefully rests upon
the breast as if holding the garment lightly
over that portion OF the body.
The other picture is front view. The
airy costume is used. The head is slightly
| bent and the faae looks downward. IL
shows the beautiful contour of the shoul-
ders and the full ronndness of the arms.
The outline of the hips, as seen through q
| toga, shows what the science of anatomy
| says is the perfection of womanly beauty;
they are on line with the outer edge OF the
shoulders. Everything but the face and
the arms and part of one of the lower limbs.
| ie hidden. This leg is exposed from about
midway of the thigh to the ankle. That
| ankle has way of not showing up clearly
in either photogra aph.
| Unless there is somebody with better
shape to compete for the prize, the Chicago
aspirant is likely to be elected.

HE ROBBED THE MAILS.
j. j. Garrity WIN surely Spend Some
Time at Deer Lodge.

Time AT Deer Lodge.
Postofiice Inspector Watkins has secured
the arrest at Butte of j. j. Garrity. on the
charge Of having in his possession Il coun-
terfeit mail pouch key. Garrity WAS bag
gagemaster on the Northern Pacific for
many years and had charge of the express
mail between Butte and Pasco, Wash.
There ia no mail clerk Oh that run and the
postal department conducts what Ia known
as the pouch service over that route. that Ia
the baggage man takes care Of them with
out having anything to do with the hand
ling of the mail itself. Garrity had made
Just two runs when he conceived the idea
Of robbine the mail and argued with him
self that if he only could get INTO the
pouches he could help himself as he desired
and no one would be the wiser, as suspicion
would not be directed toward himself, as 1t
was known he had NO key. Every key in
the United States mail service IL
numbered and recorded in Wash
ington, SO that its whereabouts is always
known. Garrity knew this, and recognized
the difficulty of getting II key to fit the
pouch locke. However, he hit upon bril-
liant plan, which he carried ont. He Wis
tied Butte locksmith with whom he was
acquainted and represented himself as
being mail clerk. and told pitiful tale
of having lost his key, and said that if he
would report his loss to the department. he
would lose his job. He therefore begged
the locksmith to make him key RS a per-
sonal favor and act of charity. The lock-
smith WAS taken in and consented. Garrity
made draft of the key wanted, and the
latter also stole lock from HI empty
pouch. which he brought to the locksmith
to fit the new key with. The key was fn-
ished about the last week in April, and Gar
rity went to work relieving mail pouches
and continued doing rushing bus
mess up to about Aug. 22,
continued. According to his own
confession he stole many thousands of dol
lars worth in that time. He stole every
thing worth carrying off. He stole jewelry
and women's undergarments. of which he
made presents to his women friends in
South Butte. To that he also confessed.
since the train service over that line has
been discontinued. Garrity has Leen tend
ing bar in South Butte.
The locksmith who made the key for Gar
rity could also be prosecuted, as he is
equally guilty with Garrity, but as he did
it in utter ignorance, nothing will be done
with him.
Inspector Watkins regards tho capture of
Garrity as one of the most important made
in long time. The offense is one of the
most serious known to the postal laws, and
| the penalty is imprisonment for any term
under ten years. no fine being permitted.
Garrity made confession soon after his
arrest.
Garlity was arraigned before United
States Commissioner MoMurphy, at Butte.
yesteid day. He waived examination and
was bound over to the United States circuit
court here, under bonds Of $4,000. He will
be brought to Helena to-day.

Tho Men in Good Condition and Will
Meet Tonight.
The first scientific contest before the Hell
ena Athletic. club at Turner hall this eve
ming promises to be successful event. A
large number of tickets have been sold in
Helena and Butte, and good delegation
from the west side will be on hand. Since
the announcement of the match the club
directors have secured Paddy Lee and
Jack Howard, welter weights, as an ad-
dition to the programme. They are
said to be equally matched and will make a
lively settle. They will appear after Harry
Rodgers, 1.-The South Butte Spider" and

The main interest centers around the
henvyweights, Ike Hays, of Helena, and
Frank Freeman, of Butte, who are matched
for the largest stakes ever offered by an
athletic club in Montana, $3.50 and side
bet of $500 piece. Hays and Freeman
have been in training several weeks and are
in fine condition. Freeman, who has been
training near Butte arrived in Helena few
days ago and has his training quarters at
Toole's road house. Freeman, who makes
his first appearance in Helena, is known to
be clever and is said to be moro shifty than
Hays. The latter has been in the hands of
several we'll known Helena trainers. Many
who have seen Ike in former contests will
be surprised at the improvement he has
made. The men will enter the ring promptly
at 10 p. N.
Every arrangement has been made for
the comfort and convenience of the p Incl
pals and spectators. The directors and Off
