Mrs. Blaine then took the stand. She
recited the story of her marriage, which
was FASTENED because her husband did not
want her to go on the stage. She spoke of
the happy first year and detailed the visit
of the young couple to Maine, where her
husband was kept away from her by his
mother; told how she had been foiled in
attempts to become reconcled to him;
gave the details Of her return to New YORK
and subsequent sickness and suffering in
that city. She had come to South Dakota
for home and wanted especially to secure
the custody of her child, which she was
able 10 support by her pen.
This closed the testimony, and after the
submission of some law points the case
was closed. A decision is not expected for

factions of the Louisiana Democracy came
to an agreement last night by which the
two tickets for state officers nominated in

Tho Prohibitionist Vote.

The election returns of the last four
years give some interesting information
as to the strength of the Prohibition
party and its distribution. In 1888, at
the last presidential election, the party
cast 240,907 votes, which was little
more than g. per cent. of the total vote.
In the congressional elections two years
later, 1890, the vote was lighter, being
19s,SS0, but the percentage remained
very nearly the same, being little over
2per cent.
But while this was the proportion of
the total national vote the power Of the
party in the several states is by no
means indicated by it. In 1888 there
were electors named in every state but
one, South Carolina, and the vote ran
from Al in Nevada to 30,231 in New
York. In Wisconsin it was 14,277; in
Minnesota, 1871; in Pennsylvania, 90.
947; in Michigan, 2O,942; in Illinois, 81 ;
695; in Ohio, 24,850. In some of the
states the proportion was nearly per
cent; in several it was between and 8
per cent.-Harper's Weekly.

A NIarquis' Restanrant.

Marquis du Croisic has bought Mrs.
Liyingston's property of over an acre on
the cliffs at Newport. On this spot will
be the Logerot and Casino-by-the-Sea

marquis is to utilize, though greatly I'm
prove, the present five cottages. Those
at the outer ends are to be both supetbly
furnished. One will be for himself and
family and the rooms of the other will
be let out. A wide, very fine semicircu-

the other of the other three cottages.

BRILLIANT ENGINEERING.
Creation of Great Lake TO supply
Liverpool with Water.

Creation of Great Lake to supply
Liverpool with Water.
For a small country we do big thing
now and then, even by the admission Of
our American cousins. The Forth bridge
was one; another is the creation of Lake
Vyrnwy, in mid Wales, which has been
declared by the Duke of Connaught at
Liverpool to be "open" and fit to act as
the source of the water supply of that
city and the surrounding district. This
means great deal. 1t means that the
corporation of Liverpool and their en-
gineer have actually remade great lake
which existed as lake in the glacial
epoch, but which during the time cog
nizable by human record has been a
marshy valley, through which a tribu-
tary of the Severn slowly wound.
II means that a village, a church, a
burial ground and pleasant country
house had to be removed bodily; that
vast dam, unequaled in the world, had
to be built, and that the water had to be
conveyed through pipes and storage
tanks as far as Liverpool, across the
Mersey and over seventy miles away.
The work has taken eleven years TO
bring to completion, and has employed
an army of workmen and an engineer,
whose name will always be associated
with this great achievement, Mr.. George
F. Deacon. Everybody will join the
Duke of Connaught in congratulating
the engineer, the men and the corpora.
ton on tile conclusion of so great a
work, and not the least element in the
public satisfaction will be the thought
that it has been done without hurting
the susceptibilities of even the most ar.
dent devotee of natural beauty.
Ten years ago the Vyrnwy valley was
a bare, lnarshy uninteresting region,
which had been a lake once, but the
waters from which had flowed away.
Now. though of course tho engineers
work looks raw and new as yet, the good
achievement of nature has been done
over again, and there is lake where
lake existed till the barrier was for some
reason worn away. An enormous i'm.
provement indeed has been effected, as
everybody will admit when the masonry
has toned down and the trees have
grown. We are not without hopes that
the same will one day be found to be the
case with Thirlmere; but it was not to
be expected that good Wordsworthian
and lake dwellers should believe that to
be possible when first Manchester asked
for leave to make her works in that
sacred region.
We shall see, and meanwhile it may
be hoped that Manchester will lose no
time in her friendly race with Liver
pool. The making of water works in
beautiful country, with all their accom-
paniments of unsightly mounds of earth
and heaps of piping, is a thing which, if
done at all, should be done quickly.
There have been, we know, many un-
expected difficulties in the way. Man
chester is rather unlucky in these mat
tiers, but it is to be hoped that these
have now been overcome

New YORK, Sept. 3.-Upwards of
twenty-five suspicious vessels are due
from now on until the expiration of the
next ten days and the quarantine health
officers are preparing to meet them. 1t
seems almost certain that some of them
will have cholera aboard. DR.. Jenkins
says that he has power to determine how
long vessels should remain in quarantine
and Notwithstanding the presidents
proclamation he proposes to use his own
discretion. and if necessary or as the
case demands, suspicious ships will be
held a longer or shorter period than
twenty days. His action will be taken
with the understanding that he alone is
responsible and the president will not
be considered. AS the case now
stands, President Harrison's proclama-
tion will be ignored at quarantine. "Ishall
be governed by the state laws, said DR..
Jenkins, "and President Harrison's
proclamation does not apply to this port.
