IHlCtgO Evening Pust,
Since the publication of Mr.. Blaine's
letter TO General Clarkson declining in
advance nomination which most people
believed to be his for the asking, it is not
difficult to give credence to almost any
rumOr concerning the secretsry's future
The latest of these is that MIR. Blaine
will, as soon as may be, retire from the
cabinet and seek rest and recreation in a
tour abroad.
This report is put forth on the author
ity of New i ork jOurna, which has al
ways aspired to be known as an organ o.
the administration, but whose ambitions
have in great part been defeated by an
overwhelming prOneness to silly sensa
tionalism. Still there are several excel
lent reasons why the report should prove
true. The first of these is Mr. Blaine s
physical condition, which, if anybody
can be believed, is not that of a healthy
man. Moderation is not one of the
secretary's traits of mind, conduct or
character; he has paid and is paying the
inevitable penalty of excess. But if Mr.
Blaine's health will not permit him to
give full scope to his activity his ambi~
ton will never suffer him to remain lay
figure. In the cabinet his nerves would
be torn asunder between these two con-
tending forces. 1t is but natural that he
break away.
The admirers of Mr. Blaine-and these
number large majority of his parry
need have no fear that he will 90 so far
away from the scene of his activities as
to be beyond the reach of telegraph
wire. They should remember that dur
ing the convention of 1888 Mr.. Blaine
held one end OF q cable. of which the
other end was in the hands of mis- faithful
Boutelle.

"Do you know the surest Indication
OF old age?" said a physician the
other day, according to the Albany
Express. "The surest indications in
man." he continued, care a moist eye,
a dry palm and a shrinkage in the
calf Of the leg. All the indications are
due TO some action of the nerves con-
sequent upon advancing years. In
the matter OF the eye the fifth section
is interfered with, and il is this which
causes a flow OF water. The dryness OF
the palms is caused by an interference
with the functions OF the body, also
due TO the action OF the nerves, and
the shrinkage of the leg follows from
similar causes. In old age, too, you
notice some men become more corpu-
lent than in the early portions OF their
lives. With drinking men the change
is often produced by the quantity Of
saccharine which they consume with
their drinks, and with those who do
not drink it follows from other physio-
logical changes. As to the hair grow
ing gray, it results in the majority Of
cases from the partial closing of the
hair cells and the reduction Of the
quantity OF natural coloring matter
which the closing produces. With
women the dimness Of the eye does
not come SO soon as il does in men,"

Some people do not realize the hard
fate which often frowns on the unfor-
tunate wealthy people. Take the case
of Charles Fair for instance. When
his mother died she left him and his
brother, James G. Fair, Jr., q half
million dollars apiece. But he was
not to have the money until he wal
thirty years old, while his brother vas
to 90 without his share until he was
thirty-fve. In the meantime, under
the terms Of the will, the boys were
allowed but the beggarly stipend Of
$500 per month. OF course Charles
got another 500 or SO from his father,
but what is 81 900 a month TO one in
whose veins flow the blue blood OF the
Fairs? When James g., Jr., died
Charles saw his chance and sued for
the half million which would. have
gone to the elder brother, but under
the terms Of the will descended to
Charles. And now Judge Coffee has
decided that Charles must wait for the
half million too until he is thirty
years old. lie must pull along on

Somewhat encouraging.

The New Eberhardt Mining Com
pany, at a shareholder meeting held
in London, England, November Both.
adopted a resolution to make another
call Of six pence per share for the pur-
pose Of continuing operations at the
Eberhardt mine. The Chairman. j.
X. Clipperton, stated at the meeting
that although the most OF the ore
lately encountered was OF low grade.
rich samples assaying considerable
over 800 per ton. and in n instance
as high as $l,l75, had been o
tered. Indications we're reported OF
such an encouraging nature as to in
duce the hope that a rich chamber OF
ore would be eventually broken into
such as formed a most important fea-
ture Of the mine in the early history
OF the company, when ten pound
shares sold for fifty pounds.

nj one point where a good cropping OF
good ore stood three or four feet above

The Mos. Remarkable Suicide.

The most remarkable suicide in the
annals OF self destruction occurred II
Chiquete, N. b., in the Spring OF 1890,
says the Philadelphia Press. Before
committing the deed the self-murderer,
who vas named w. X. t. Jones, dug
his own grave and placed a rough
coffin of his own handiwork. at the
bottom. The dirt from the opening
was kept from rolling back into the
excavation by boards held in place by
a trigger to which q string was at
tached. Everything in readiness, the
deliberate Mr.. Jones. as subsequent
developments revealed, got. in the
coffin, took a dose OF poison and then
pulled the string, burying himself be-
Meath tons OF earth. This has been
put down as one Of the most unique
and successful cases Of self-destruc-
| ton on record.
