EMMONS BLAINE DEAD.
Sudden Death at His Home In Chicago G
Son of the EI-Sectetary Of State.

Sudden Death at His Home In Chicago OF
Son Of the EI-sectetary Of state.
CHICAGO, June 2O.-Emmons Blaine,
the second son Of Hon. James @. Blaine,
ex-secretary Of state, died Saturday at
the Mccormick mansion in this city. He
had been Ill but few hours and his
death was wholly unexpected. Septi-
c@mia, which developed from a bowel
complaint, was the immediate cause Of
death.
Mr.. Blaine's death Is due indirectly,
no doubt, 10 the ordeal he passed
through as the chief dire ctor Of the in
terests OF his father at the Minneapolis
convention. He labored necessarily for
several days previous to the opening Of
the convention and through out its ses-
sions, nor did he relinquish his labors
after the nomination Of Harrison.
Mr. Blaine has been only nominally
general agent for the Baltimore & Ohio
Railway Company since last fall. When
the officials at the general superintend-
ent's Office were notified they were
dumbfounded.
Prior to his engagement with the
Baltimore & Ohio Mr.. Blaine held
prominent positions with several other
roads. lie was an universal favorite
among railroad men. Several years
ago he was secretary TO the president
of the West Virginia Cen tral railroad
and his better position in Chicago was
the reward OF strict atten tion TO his
duties there. Prior TO his engagement
with the West Virginia Central he was
assistant general freight agent Of the
Atchison, Topeka & Sa nta Fe and at
other times was with the Chicago q
Northwestern railroad and other corpo-
rations.
BAR HARBoB, Me-, June 20. Tho
news OF Emmons Blaines death reached
ex-Secretary Blaine at tn e Stanwood a
little after. noon Saturday. The family
is greatly prostrated by grief Mr.. and
Mrs Blaine left for Chicago on the 8

fenced to Five Years In Prison.
ANN ARBoR, Mich, June 1S.-The
trial of Prince Michael ended Friday.
The morning session of court was taken
up with the arguments OF the prosecu-
tion and defense. Judge Kinne charged
the jury and at o'clock they had agreed
upon verdict that Michael K. Mills
was guilty of carnally knowing Bernice
Biclxle, girl between the ages OF 10
and 16, on February II, 1892"
Loud cheers from the audience greeted
the verdict, but were suppressed by
Judge Kinne. Col. Atkinson, counsel
for Prince Michael, asked permission to
enter an appeal, but the judge refused
and ordered the "Prince" TO stand up
and state if he had any reason why SEN
tence should not be imposed upon him.
At this Michael lost his nerve and his
knees shook when he rose and said that
with the aid of the spirit of God he
would receive any sentence they might
impose upon him" Judge Kinne SEN
fenced him to five years In prison, the
limit of the law. When the sentence
was announced everybody jumped up
and made for where the Prince was
standing, but several deputy sheriffs
stopped them and Michael was taken to
Jail.
When, after the verdict was an
nounced, Michael was spirited away,
the crowd began to look for some one
else to vent their feelings on. II was
rumored that the long-haired disciples
were at the sheriff's house and thither
the crowd went. 1t consisted OF nearly
5000 people They caught "Lucifer"
Durand and under the impression that 1t
was Bicklc, the father Of the girl whom
Michael ruined, started to do him bodi-
ly harm, but when they saw their mis-
take they let him go, with instructions
to leave town at once, which he imme-
diately did. The crowd then captured
BiclSle and people yelled Lynch him."
"Cut his hair" Bickle was almost
frightened to death and said: "Cut my
hair, but don't kill me-" He was hustled
to a barber shop near by and in mo-
ment his luxuriant hair and whislSers
were on the floor. This satisfied the
crowd and they escorted him to the
depot, instructing him never TO enter
the town again.

OF Disturbnnce-The situation Serious
TOWER, Mimi, June 2O.-Sherif Star
w, accompanied by Deputy Armstrong
and posse of sixty deputies, arrived
in the city on special train Saturday
evening, having boen telegraphed for
by Manager Bacon to assist in holding
back the strikers. The posse formed IN
line on Stone Hill and awaited the COM
ing of the strikers. Previous to this a
detachment had been sent on the hill
to start the fires under the boilers at
No. 4 engine house. No sooner did the
strikers see smoke issuing from the
smokestack than they formed IN a body
and proceeded toward the mine. On
seeing the deputies lined up in their
path, the body broke into four detach-
ments and completely surrounded the
sheriff's posse, coming together from
four sides. The deputies immediately
surrendered and left for town.
Sunday morning at 4 o'clock forty
members of Company A, under com
mand of Capt. Fear, arrived on spe-
cial train and are stationed at the old
machine shop to await developments,
as the strikers will not take any de-
cided action until the mine starts to
work to-day. Another special train
with two companies Of West Duluth
militia is expected. The strikers have
possession of all the powder and dyna-
mite belonging to the Minnesota COM
pany and say they will use it If neces-
sary. They also claim they will have
all the miners of the Chandler mine at
Ely up In arms to assist them in the
strike, but trains between Tower and
Ely will be carefully guarded to pre-
vent any help from that quarter. The
citizens of Tower and Soudan have laid
in a plentiful supply of ammunition
and will be ready to receive any hostile
demonstration towards personal prop
erty from the strikers
The situation is very serious. Water
in the mines is rising steadily and much
damage has been done to machinery
and other property.

A good story on the imperturbability of

one of the tables in the st. James hotel

AS the Brlton scrambled on deck. soaked
to the skin and dripping like an April skv.
he looked at the bits of broken Irvine still
IN his hand and said, in a rather condo
scending and critical tone:
Il say, old chap, what awfully rotten
rigging you have in this country. Why
don't you get the real hemp, now?"
Then 1t occurred to him that he was wet.
and SO he accepted the offer of dry flannels
IN the cabin below. Presently he came I'D

much too small that they fitted him like
tights and his legs looked like sausages.

On being demonstrated with he went be-
low and put on a loose pair of brand new
trousers. They were his hosts best pair.
The Briton made himself perfectly at home

That was his first and last invitation to

a long and slender stemmed pipe was
brought from Central Africa some year:

enabled to get the bore required for the
pipe stem.
They plug the lower end with clay, and
rolling up a section Of the banana leaf into
tiny cornucopia cut Il hole in the stem
and insert it for bowl, the sap in the
green leaf preventing it's combustion as

bowl made from a potato and the stem
made out of a piece of twig from which the
pith had been driven, which was employed
by many American soldiers during the
great war. Another curious pipe is made
from a shell which comes from New
Guinea
While the pipes used in the interior are
more generally made of bamboo, those
smoked in the neighborhood of the coast,
and especially in Savo and the Solomon
islands, are made OF shells which are picked
up on the seashore. At present the prin,
cipal pipe used in the southern portion of
New Guinea and the adjacent islands is the
English clay, and pipe of this description
