MINNEAPoLfs, Mimi, June 4.-The
hotel rotuudas were crowded early Fri
day morning. and the slSirmish firing of
the last few days swelled into IL roar of
muskctry as the main bodies of the OPP
posing forces began to arrive. Both
sides claim to be equally confident, but
1T is certain that nothing positive could
be expected upon the "clam every
thing statements made both by par
tisans of the president and of Mr..
Blaine.
The confidence with which the Blaine
men announce that he will accept the
nomination, if it is extended him, and
the calm assurance with which they are
prosecuting the contest in his behalf,
has had some weight, however, and the
more careful politicians are directing
their attention to Il diligent analysis of
the probable vote of the various state
delegations
In the matter of figures the Harrison
managers point to the states which
have given positive instructions for the
president, and cite the assurances of
SUPPORT which they claim to be daily
receiving from instructed delegations.
The Blaine people give no details, but
claim about everything in sight, not
limiting their figures to those states in
which no instructions were given, but
claiming scores of votes from states
positively instructed for Harrison.
Chairman Clarllson, who seems to
have been assigned to do the talking for
the secretary of state, declared Friday
morning that Blaine would be nomin-
ated on the first ballot beyond per-ad-
venture.
John C. New, on the other hand, who
is in command of the Harrison artillery,
asseverated that the nomination of the
president on the first ballot was fact
as certain and sure as the rising of the
sun in the east.
Neither faction seems to admit the
possibility of dark horse being pre-
sented, but there are those here-old
and experienced politicians, who are
not shouting for either sidc-who give
it as their opinion that the whole thing
will wind up, after prolonged fight,
in the nomination of some one who is
not now mentioned.

MRS. HARRISON.

Her Condition Worse in the Last Few
Days. But the Lady Is In No Immediate
Danger.
New YORK, June A special to the
Herald from Washington says the many
friends of Mrs. Harrison are alarmed at
the report that she has grown worse
within the last few days. The report
proves to be true, but it is not believed
that Mrs. Harrison is in any immediate
danger. There is no doubt that she is
extremely i'll, in fact, that it has been
deemed unwise to attempt to move her
to the Cape May cottage. 1t has been
found necessary in order that Mrs. Har-
rison should have absolute quiet, to
order the Marine band, which has for
years played on Saturdays in the White
House grounds, to play hereafter in
Lafayette park.

Identification at Banks.

Every man who does much travelling
knows how difficult it often is to secure
the necessary identification for drawing
money and cashing drafts. The plan
of mailing with the notification of a
draft a photograph of the man to whom
it is payable has been tried with sue
cess, but it requires good deal of
photography in the case of man who
is travelling through an extensive terri
tory and'some banks do not fall in with
the idea kindly A more recent idea is
to mail with the draft the number o'
the watch movement of the payee, on
the understanding that the bank teller
will accept the evidence of the watch
as conclusive. AS nearly every traveller
carries watch this is also a good plan,
but friend of mine who tried it found
that three out offour banks declined to
accept the novel evidence of identified
ton 1t looks as though no universal
plan to get over the difficulty will ever
become possible. Chicago Mail.

SIT costs the son of king less than

Charles Van Bedlitz, of Darby, the other
day. Il was recently in London on
business, and wishing to see little of
the low life of the city | went to the
celebrated Bow Street police court for
the morning session. There was u
sorry looking lot of unfortunates in the
prisoners pen and one was a haggard
and badly rumpled young negro, light
in color and evidently greatly given to
dissipation. His name was given as
Prince Theodore, son of the great
Abyssinnian King Theodore, who gave
the English such hard fight in 1868,
when they started out to conquer that
country and capture Magdala, its capi-
tai. The prince has been in England
for many years being educated, and he
appears to have become well posted in
the good old English art of getting
tight. His fine was eight shillings,
which he paid and departed. '-Phila-

Ex-President Barillas.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 6.-According
to advices received here from Guate-
mala, President Barros intended to
send ex-President Barillas on mission
abroad so that he might escape the
consequences of his misdeeds. The
people, however, got wind of the plan
and brought serious accusations against
the eX-president, who is alleged to have
been guilty during his administration
of the affairs of the republic of the
most atrocious crimes, both against the
state and private individuals. A strong
feeling against Barillas exists among
all classes of people.

bury. lie proposed to hand her to the
auctioneer, to be put up in the ordi-
nary course of business but the knight
of the hammer declined to have any
thing to do with cattle of that de-
scription." Not to be beaten, the gal
liant husband hired sheep pen for six
pence, and leading his better-half into
it by means of the usual halter, tried to
dispose of her by private contract.
Wives were not, however, in active de-
mand and it was long before he OBJ
tanned bid. Eventually, however, five
shillings was offered by II young towns
man, and Mt that price the woman, APP
parcntly well pleased, changed hands.
In the year 1872 a very curious case
was investigated in the west of En-
gland. On the 5th of July in that year
II smartly-dressed woman, apparently
of fair social position, applied to the
Exeter magistrates for Il summons
against her former husband for refus.
ing to support his children. She ex-
planned that the defaul ter had sold her
to the man with whom she now lived
for fifty pounds, and had undertaken to
support two of the children. For some
reason or other he had refused to carry
out the undertaking, and the applicant
requested the bench to compel him to
do so. The Justices wisely enough de-
clined to interfere

She had assumed the name of her pur-

'had a proper stamped paper to show

Documents of this llind-moral hal
ters, capable of demonstrating the lc-
gality of the transaction after the
hcmpen one was rcmoved-are of fre-
quent occurrence. In 1884 briclimaier
sold his wife on Peasholme Green, York
shire for eighteen pence. An account
of the transaction was drawn up, brist-
ling with the las aforesaid" the 'why'

signed it as witnesses.
The ladies appear to have very gen
orally acquiesccd to the arrangements
for their transfer, and at Cyfartha, a
wife, who had been sold for two pounds
ten shillings, assisted very freely, we
are told, to drink the beer upon which
it had been stipulated the odd ten shil-
lings should be spent.
In one case, however, early in the CEN
tury, the lady turned the tables upon
her would-be auctionier very neatly A
young Cumberland man had resolved to
get rid of his wife in the orthodox fash

native country, as in the old ballad, all

sold him, for she contrived to get him

Captive RedbIrds.

The common redstart makes pretty
cage bird, though it is not often seen in
captivity in this country. 1t visits Mis-
souri, and Illinois every summer, leav-
ing for the south on the first approach
of cold weather. 1t is beautiful bird,
and takes its name from bunch of
brilliant red feathers under the long
plume of the tail. When taken from
the nest the birds are easily reared, and
their liveliness and cheerfulness in con-
finement dissipate the idea that they
are longing for freedom. They have a
pretty song, and are in every way 30
far superior to the canary that it is u
wonder that they are not frequently
saged and kept-Chicago MSiL

Two Wicked Women

One of the most inveteratc gamblers
of any royal or imperial family in
Europe is the Grand Duchess Vladimir
of Russia, sister-in-law of the czar.
Indeed, her passion for games of chance
can only be compared to that of the ex-
king of Servia, and no greater compli-
mcntcan be paid to her at the entertain
ments which she attends then to set u
roulette going after dinner. The lady
who most pandcrs to this vice of the
grand duchcss-a vice which is viewed
with great disfavor by the czar-is
Princess Betsy Bariatinslly, one of the
best known and most influential leaders
of society at st. Petersburg. She is the
most worldly woman, without any eX-
ccption, that | know, and her entire ex-
istence is devoted to retaining her place
in the vanguard of society. Although
she rarely says an ill-natured word o;
utterS sarcasm concerning any one,
yet the smile on the thin lips of the
princess, and the scarcely perceptible
shrug of her shoulders, constitute far
more damaging blow to the reputation
and status of the person under discus
sion than any mere words could.-N. Y.

There WAS IL bime when every Britisher
looked upon the theory that it was
profitable tor him 70 pay for colonial
enterprises rs gospel truth. That time
is past. The British public commence
to see that it is not the nation, but
only few individuals associated under
title of East Africa company, East
India company, etc, that pocket the
profit accrning on colonial investments.
This fecliug of opposition is manifested
in criticising Lord Salisbury's assertion
made in recommending the construction
of railroads from the lakes of the in
terror to the eastern coast of Africa.
The main result of the railroads would
be, he said, the support of the COM
merce and industry which is, as he
failod to add, concentrated in the hands
of the British East Africa company.

Is robbing the British taxpayer to make
him bear the expenses of building or
