 CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 9.-In an inter- view with ex-Gov. Foraker on Blaine's letter of declination, Mir. Foraker said: ''Mr. Blaine will stand in history with out rival. Twice when he was a can didate for the nomination it was refused him. Once when nominated he was de- feated. Such d record would destroy the power, influence and prestige of al most any other man.
 But instead, he has constantly grown greater and nearer to the hearts of the people, until as a result, he had had literally forced upon him an opportunity to make the unprecedented record of twice declining nomination which would have meant in each instance an election. Somebody once said in sub stance, that to refuse to be 6 bishop is greater than to be a bishop The same can be said of tho Presidency, and es- pecially of MT Blaine, who has twice 1,eSl1Sed if

During inventory we find there are several lines that must be closed out, to make them GO we have put the prices surprisingly low. Do you know that thing may be amusingly cheap: Do you know that prices may go so low as to go laughingly low? It's rather comical idea, but we can give you the best evil dence of its truth. We have put lot of $50 Overcoats into our TWELVE DOL LAR lot, it's rediculous, but it's true. We have filled our south show window with fine Puff Scarfs, $1.OO, $1.25, $l.5O, you choice for 50 cents.

SHE DRANK SEVENTEEN COCKTAILS.
Two well-drcssed women got into an
alteration with Il cab driver on Third
avenue. New York, at LATE hour en-
Saturday night, and as the discussion
grew warm ere of the women lifted her
right foot, and displaying bit of black
hose and white lace, smashed the cab
window.
"There, now" she said, 'I'll teach
you to tryto rob perfect lady"
"Yes, aud I've got good mind to
put nv foot through the window on the
other side,n said her companion. Police
man Farrell, attracted by the broken
glass, put in an appearance at this juno
ture.
"Dese ladies won't pay me me fare, .
said the hack driver, land when | OBJ
iccts dey puts DER feet trough de win,

"Look here, Mr. Policeman, inter
rupted the kicker, this mug of hack
man agreed to take us home for 81. We
had dinner on Broadway, and we drank
seventeen gin cocktails, and because
we stopped on the road once or twice
to get night cap he wants us to pay
two dollars"
Policeman Farrell put them into the
cab and drove around to the East
Thirty-iiflh street station. The kicker
had iapsed INTO comatose condition
and had to be carried into the station
house, bat her companion gathered
herself together and paid the hackman
for his window and for the fare he de-
manded. As the driver refused to make

An Indian Gift and the Consequence

An Indian Gift and the Consequence
An amused audience was present III
the Mayors Office Saturday afternoon
When the case Of Adam Armstead VS.
Wallace Tansill was called. They one
and all knew there was fun on nand,
and the progress of the case yerllieu
their expectations.
Eminent legal talent was engaged Oh
each side, and the lawyers must nave
laughed in their sleeves, and congratu,,.
lated themselves on the new crop OF
suckers that are constantly coming 10
maturity for their enrichment.
The facts in the case. as evolved IN
the trial, were as follows; Mr.. Ianshi
engaged pasturage from a colored counr =
try farmer for one of his famous span OF
horses, and told the man when ne
came for the horse that he would make
him a present of the equine wonder IL
ne would lift him out of the stable Dy
his tail. This the colored brother
quickly proceeded to do, proving there
by that Tansill was poor judge OF the
weight of live stock on the hoof.
Having performed the feat: the man
proceeded to lead his acquisition nome
taking it for granted that Mr.. I. was a
gentleman of his word. Tansill saw
nothing of his horse for some time, ana
it occurred to him that the pasture let
ter might have gotten the idea IN ms
head that the horse was actually MS
property. The first time Mr.. T. saw
his horse the farmer had him hltched 10
wagon along side of one of his own
horses. The marked improvement IN
the looks of the horse made Mr.. Tan
sill doubtful of his IDENTITY, and he had
TO squint quietly at his former property
two or three times before fully recog-
nizing him. Being reasonably sure at
last that the horse belonged to him. he
proceeded to unhitch him from the
wagon and was about leading him or
The horse having fallen in love with
his new QUARTS protested against the
change. The man whom Tanslll had
given him to added his demurrer to Mr.
It's forcible action but the combined
objection had no weight, and Tanslll
drove or led his horse home.
The recipient of Tansill's gift immc,
diately proceeded to invoke the aid OF
the law, avering that Mr.. Tansiil forcl,
bly, and with malice aforethought had
taken possession of a certain horse be-
longing to him.
The lawyers on both sides made a
valiant fight for their respective clients,
Judge Goodrich, counsel for fansill,
contending that the whole affair was
nothing more or less than a joke, and
Mr.. Dickinson as solcmnly asserting that
the gift was genuine one, and was
therefore sacred.
His Honor, the Mayor, decided that
while the whole thing may have been a
Joke. iokers must pay for their fun, and
assessed the whole cost OF the trial on
Mr.. Tansill, who, it is safe to say, will
not again soon indulge in the cheap
luxury of Indian gifts. "-fredericks-
