Mrs. BiIkins Low Spirited-Zeke Sees
Hard Times Staring the Peo-
pie in the Face.
..HelloI Mr.. Editor. ;,

"Hello! Mr.. Editor"
Rood morning, Uncle Zeke."
B-"Say, don't you call me Uncle
Zeke. Tn not so old as you imagine,
an besides that I'm ~expectin' to have
to hunt another wife some day an L
don't want the impression to get out
that I'm DID,"
Rs Mrs. Bilkins in bad health3"
Dwell, not exactly. She just
seems low spirited like. an wants me
to pet her all the time. I reckon she
will pull through, but she says she has
worried herself to death trying to make
a man of me. Strange thing to me that
SO many of the wimin' think they
either ought to be men Or else be a try
in to make men out of US
R-"Probably Mrs. Bllkins is just
low spirited temporarily, and will be
all right in a few days. You shouldn't
make SO many mistakes, and then you
wouldn't vex her. Try to be a man
without the necessity of any interior
ence on her part"
B.-"Tha5 is just what l try to do,
but I get mad when l look around and
see how things are going. 1 read the
papers and see mortgages being fore
closed, an the people gettin' poorer an
the monopolists gettin' richer. I don't
know what is to become of the coun-
try"
RI agree with you that the out
look is rather gloomy. But there is
some way put of it. The people will
learn something after awhile, though
it may be too late to save the wreck
without going completely under and
making a new start entirely"
B.-"I told Betsy that there will be
some sunshine after so much cloudy
weather. She said she thought so too,
but she hates to see the poor folks
struggling so long. We read the Presi-
dents message the other day. He says
we are prosperin' at a fearful rate. l
wish he would come down in North
Carolina an run a farm. [ guess he
would fine it different from bein' Presi-
dent at over $3.50 per day an all ex-
penses paid. 1 would like to see him
trottin' around to raise money to pay
off a mortgage. l would like to see him
plowin' a kickin' mule. I would like
to see him after all his hogs die with the
cholera. I'll bet he would pull that big
hat that used to belong to his grandpa,
down Over his eyes and grunt like a
dyin' calf before he farmed two years.
OF course me an Betsy don't mean to
be di~srespectful to the President nor
wish him any harm, but we do think
he made a big mistake in his message.
We don't expect fer any President to
be a regular calamity bowler, but
WI do expect him to stand by the
great common people and insist on
getting justice for them. If George
Washington or Thomas Jefferson were
Twin here now you would hear from
them about such matters. They would
say "some of you are gettin' rich too
fast, an many of you are gettin' poor
too fast Let's sorter stop this business
and give all a chance as we go along"
Ill bet you they would give Congress a
bless!n' out fer the way it has bin dom
an the way it has bin goin' to do until
the voters stand up fer their rights.
Good bye"

ON HIS DEATH-BED.
James G. Blaine May Pass Away
at Any Moment.
HIS LIFE EBBING FAST AWAY.
1t IL Believed He Desires to Die n Com.
municant of the Church of
His Mother.
[By telegraph 10 Tho DispAtch.l

NEW YORK, December 14.-The following spe-
cial dlepafch from Washington has been re-
ceived: James @. Blaine is now on his DEATH
bed. The stroDgth-sapping malady from which
he has suffered for 30 long time has assumed
a form which warns his family and friends OF a
speedy termination. The disease attacked his
lungs short time ago, ana its course has
bafiled the skill OF his physicians. The visit Of
DIR. K. q. janeway, Of New York. 70 Mr.. Blaine Is
indicative OF the extreme anxiety Of the family.
TOO wEAK TO TRAVEL.
When the fact became known that Mr.. Blaine's
lungs were succumblng to the ravages OF tho
disease, plans were laid to convey the distln-
guished invalid 10 Pasadena, Cal, in
the hope that a mild and soothing
climate might enable him 10 rally. Mr.
Blaines weakness, however, increased 40
rapidly that II was deemed unsafe 20 remove
him and tho trip 10 California was abandoned.
There Is reason TO believe that the ex-Secre-
tary's death may occur at any time.
BR. BLAGSE's RELIGION.
The Rev. Father Ducey's visit TO the Blaine
residence at this time has naturally revived the
talk stout Mr.. Blaine's embracing the Roman
Catholic faith. A strong belief prevails here
that It is Mr.. Blaine's desire TO die communi-
cant OF the Church Of which his mother was a
devout member.
NO EVIDENCE or A sICK-wATcH.
WASHINGTON, December 15.-At2 o'clock this
morning the Blaine residence was entirely dark
ened, the family and servants having retired
There is no evidence whatever that a sIck-watch
Is being kept. There is no light burning in any
of the rooms OF Railways.

NEWPORT NEWS INVESTMENTS.
One of the Companies Declares Large
Cash Dividend.

NEWPORT News, December 1.-THE in
formation which reaches here that the
Newport News, Hampton. and Old Point
Development Company, az their stock
holders meeting held in Richmond Mon
day, declared a cash dividend Of ~ per
cent, payable the lst OF January. sur
prises no one. TINS evidence Of prosperity
Is only an earnest OF the general value Of
investment here. and fully sustains the
contention regarding their solidity. The
several Newport News companies have
weathered tho depression that prevailed
after the boom burst in many other
parts Of the State, and now there
are no safer investments IN the
country. The reason of this ls simply that
they are on q foundation Of properties
that must be built up In order TO meet the
rapid. continuous. and substantial de-
velopment. Doubtless the Newport News
Company, with its magnificent holdings.
and other companies will also declare
large dividends in the near future. This
is point for those contemplating in
vestment TO think about. The Newport
News Building Company is now extensive
ly engaged in building, and every building
they erect makes more solid the stock OF
companies like the Newport News Com
pany. which hold contiguous property.
Some of the leading men in your city are
interested IN the Newport News Company
