EMMONS BLAINE DEAD.
The Second Son of Ex-Secretary Blaine
Dies After a Few Hours, Illness.
Ru Telepranh to the State Chronicla


CHICAGO, June 16-Emmons Blaine,
the second son of James G. Blaine, ex-
secretary of State, died at Ii :15 O'Clock
this morning at the McCormi OK mansion,
135 Rush street. He had been i'll but a
few hours and his death was wholly un-
expected. Septic;emia, which developed
late last night from a bowel COM
plant, was the immediate cause of
death. Mrs. Emmons Blaine and her
son, Mccormick Blaine. two years old,
and Mrs. Cyrus Mccormick were the
only members of the family present at
the bed side when Mr.. Blaine passed
away. Death came so swiftly that there
was not time to summon the other mem
bcrs of the Mccormick family, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Mccormick, who were in
the house at the time. Intellectual efforts
were made throughout the night to
reach James G. Blaine and Mrs Blaine
by telegraph, to convey the intelligence
of their sons condition. The family
left Austin several days ago for Bar
Harbor, Mr.. Blaine's summer residence
but it was impossible last night to effect
the delivery of telegram either to MIR.

and Boston representatives of the Nc
Cormick company were instructed to
exert every effort to convey the informa-
ton to some member of Mr.. Blaine's
family or to Mr.. Cyrus Mccormick, who
went to New York some days ago, but
up to noon to day the efforts had availed
nothing. Mr.. w. G. Mccormick imme.
diately assumed charge of all matters in.

HILL TO HOLIDAY.
The Reproduction of a Corresponds nee
in December, 1891.

By Telegraph to the state Chronicle.
Topeka, Kan, June 1S.-The follow
ing letter from Gov D. B. Hill was re-
ceived by Mr.. Charles K. Holiday, Jr.,
of this city, proprietor of the Kansas
Democrat, and Worlds Fair commissioner
for Kansas, in December last. The let
ter reads as follows: State of New
York, Executive Chamber, Albany, N.
Y. December %, 1891. To Charles X.
Holiday, Jr., Topeka, Kansas.
Dear Sir: For reply to your
letter of the oath 1 enclose
reprint of my speech at Elmira
of the fifth, which l intend to confirm
and reiterate in short farewell address
as governor of New York next Thurs
day, New Years eve. My faith is un-
shakable in the sound common sense of
our fellow countrymen, they we'll know
that the democratic party at the present
time is the sole efficient instrument for
tax reform and monetary reform. They
will not recommit their interests to the
republican party which has just made
both reforms our supreme necessity.
The democratic party might as well
to commit suicide as shirk either duty,
nor will it betray the peoples trust by
allotting the executive power to any man
whose views are similar to the views of
President Harrison. and who is pledged
like him to block every approach to free
bimetallic coinage. 1t is scandalous
misuse of executive power to employ the
veto in preventing remedial legislation
from being carefully planned and passed
when so great majority of the people s
representatives have been elected by the
people expressly for that very work, to
repeal the Sherman silver law and to
promote the return to free bi-metallic
coinage. l am indignant at the
rapacity of the gold monometalists so
reckless, both of science and of public
opinion. Free bi-metallic coinage is
the demand of vast majority of
the American people. No wonder it
gave us the party of the silver dollar and
the gold dollar for eighty years. Free
metallic coinage is the last work of
monetary science. To restore it safely,
wisely and finally is the mission of the
democratic party. Mr.. Harrison COM
pels us to submit to inaction during the
present executive term. That Ihope may
be the limit of our inaction. His friends
believe that he is not hypocrite. He
will not recant or suppress his conscien-
tious scruples to get second term. He
and Mr.. Blaine will fuss up an inter
national conference for delay. That is q
state artitice. One consequence of our
enforced inaction will be that the finan-
cial portents and threatened disasters
fast approaching will be seen by all to be
caused by past and present republican
wrongs, not by future democratic rene
dies. Yours truly,
DAVID B. HILL.

tie, ''whom will the democrats nominate
at Chicago - ''Now, that isn't so inter-
esting to me as our matter was. because

they nominate. l notice that some of
the New York men are resorting to un-
usual tactics. Here is Mr. Murphy say
ing that the party can't win unless his
side has its way. Now, there are two
difficulties about that sort of talking. If
the other side wins, you have to eat
humble pie; if you win for the sake of
success at the polls you must make the
other people believe you didn't mean
what you said, and that's harder"

One Of the touching scenes of the opening OF
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation was
the pathetic struggle of Mrs. Margaret Newton,
of Cald well, Kan, for home Some time since
her vilainous husband deserted her, leaving
her without cent and four children to care
for. By some means other the poor woman
succeeded in getting to Kingfsher, Okla, from
whore she walked out to the border of the reser-
walton. The three larger children had been
left in town, but the baby she carried in her
arms. Just before the signal for the start some
kind-hearted lady from Kingfsher discovered
her, and took her baby to keep until she could
try for her claim.
Then came the signal, and this little white
faced woman ran amid the mob of men and
madly rushing horses, fearless of DEATH scorn-
full Of danger, and, like a winged Mercury,
led the van in the furious rush, crossed the
twenty rod line and drove her stake into the
best claim in that section of the Indian coun-
try. Like tigress she guarded her land, and
drove off everybody who came upon it. Men
soon learned her story and began to cheer her,
and before night she was the heroine of the
region.
Men took her to town and helped her to file,
and others bought her lumber and built her a
house for herself and children. 1t is safe to say
that any man that jumps that claim will have
to say his prayers looking down the muzzle of a
dozen Winchesters held by the rough men who
dmire the pluck of the little woman.

How Homing Pigeons Are Trained.


Belgium is the native abode of these birds,
and there we find that the most faithful ex-
periments to perfect them have been made.
In Europe they are known as the Antwerp
carrier, voyageur, or homing pigeon.
Their flight is rapid, often averaging 70
miles an hour. To drill them properly they
must be taken when young-at about three
months old-and trained to fly in fixed
direction, say north, south, east or west; as,
for instance, north bird, although having had
considerable practice in flying, will probably
not return If carried far south from its home
and then turned loose. Starting-better early
in the morning-with the young bird it should
be carried in an open basket, from which it can
readily view the surrounding country, to a
distance OF about half mile on the first day,
and then turned loose. On the following day
this distance may be increased to two miles,
and for the succeeding drills these distances
could be gradually increased at first, and later
on more rapidly, always taking the same bird
in the same direction to obtain the best result.
The drill must be constant, and even under
such circumstances the birds may fail to return
to their home-if, for example, while en- route
they stop to feed, meet other pigeons, and be-
come attached 10 some farm yard or other at
tractive place. However, this would probably
occur only when flown for long distances.
Whether the weather be stormy clear does
not seem to make much difference as to the
reliability of their flight, but the character of
the country appears to play an important part,
as in certain portions OF France and Belgium
no success whatever has been attained in flying
them. Some have been flown in Europe at
distances Of over 600 miles, but of those turned
loose only small percentage reached their
home We read Of them in history as having
been used in the earliest times to carry the
names of the victors at the Olympic games in
England, to carry monetary intelligence and
use of the telegraph. While at some military
posts in our army attempts were made to use
them, / now think that the project has been
entirely abandoned, as the telegraph and hello
graph for military signaling are of far greater
value; at some posts focks still linger, but in
q neglected manner. and they are rapidly de-
generating, due to in-breeding. The method Of
attaching the message is not, as popularity I'M
derstood and as we read in romantic stories,
by fastening it to their necks, but is done by
shaving the center tRil-feather, and wrapping
the message, written on thin paper around it,
tying on with thread. II the paper be at.
tached to other portions of the body, such as a
leg, their perfect balance is disturbed and flight
impeded, thus causing them to endeavor to
pick it Off
When turned loose to be flown to their home,
they rise straight in the air for some distance,
poise moment, and then start IN the proper
direction. 1t Is supposed that these birds fly
correctly to their home not merely from
matter of instinct as is exhibited in other
animals but from their superior intelligence,
observation, and memory.

a widow dies remarries leaving a child or chill
dren under the age of IT, the children entitled

rate Of pension their mother would have received;
thus. il there should be two children under

soldiers death was due to service receive sl2
which is the widows pension proper, with an
addition of So per month for each Of Them making
SIC, or So each. Under the new law a widows
pension is only So per month, with an increase of
81 per month for each child under IT, Therefore,
two such children after their mothers death or
remarrisge could only receive sl2 or S. EACH under
the new law.
