BLAINE MANAGERS HILARIOUS.
The Blaine managers are hilarious to-
night, and maintain that there is seri-
Gus break in the Southern delegation,
and many are preparing to swing in line
for Blaine.
Governor Mckinley will undoubtedly
be made permanent Chairman of the con-
vention as he is acceptable to both fac
tions.
Ex-Governor Foraker has been selected
to present the name of Blaine, and is
now preparing his speech.
Ex-Speaker Reed of Maine arrived this
afternoon in company with Representa-
tive Hit, who is a strong personal friend
of Harrison. Hit is looking for politi-
cal information, but is not willing to give
out any himself.

being made TO induce him to allow the

speculation as to the Final Outcome
of Their Vote.

VA AhSIJ NOlc.
MINNEAPoLIs, June 6.-It is estimated
! that nine-tenths Of the delegates are in
the city tonight, and indications are that
both factions will be found greatly at
variance with the exact figures, when a
decisive ballot is taken, and every passing
| hour tends to convince the casual OBJ
| server that the contest is bitter one and
a very close one. Conservative men on
both sides are not claiming majority
of over hundred votes, and it is thought
by many that the decisive ballot will
show the winning candidate to have less
than half of that number.
The presence of the majority of the
delegates has given an opportunity of as
containing the relative strength Of Blaine
and Harrison. ID a general way Blaine
has gained in the East and in the ex-
treme West, but Harrison held his own
in most of the lake States and the region
between the Rockies and Alleghenies.
The South, always an uncertain factor,
continues to be the subject of widest
speculation.
The question as to how many candi-
dates are in the field is matter of specu-
lation. TIE leaders of Blaine and Harri-
son are proceeding upon the presump-
ton that Ayers name will not be pre-
sented, but the action ofthe Michigan dele
cation to-day in reasserting loyalty to
Alger indicates the presumption unwar-
ranted. The Alger managers tonight
are claiming sixty votes for their candi-
date. In the event Of Alger's withdrawal,
the Blaine people claim their candidate
will receive every vote of the Michigan
delegation except two, and the Harrison
managers concede their claims.
PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS NUMEROUS.
The events of the day have tended to
increase the animosity between the two
leading factions. Heated arguments be-
tween individuals resulted in personal
encounters on three or four occasions.
and once or twice riot seemed imminent.
The most intense feeling is manifested
by the Indiana factions.
1t is observed that the managers of the
rival factions are growing colder toward
each other, and many prominent leaders
do not speak. In point of popular en-
thusiasm Blaine led to-day. The colored
plumes which were adopted as the en-
blem OF the Plumed knight after the
great speech of Robert Ingersoll sixteen
years ago, were exhibited by every Blaine
Club that arrived in the city. Blaine
badges, buttons and other signs of the
Blaine movement were seen on every
hand, but the emblems worn were prin-
cipally by citizens, and delegates for the
most part displayed no outward evidence
of their choice.

Why He Shaved Off His whiskers.

The Rev T. De Witt Talmage has at
length cleared up painful Brooklyn
mystery by telling reporter why he
shaved off his whislers. There was q
vague suspicion that DR.. Talmage had
acted from some religious conviction,
but such. he frankly explains, is not the
case.
DR.. Talmage shaved off his whiskers
solely in the cause of art. He had an
idea that he would look better clean
shaven than with whiskers, and that
was the whole secret of the mystery.
He also explained why he grew whiskers
originally He was so very thin when
young, he said, that he grew beard in
order to help him cast shadow. He
at that time considered it necessary to
cast shadow.
Dr.. Talmage is not so thin now He
can cast shadow now without the aid
of whiskers. SO. having accomplished
its sole purpose in life, the beard had to
go. DR.. Talmage did not shave to make
himself look younger He thinks that
such artifces are in vain and that no
one is deceived.
Dr.. Talmage shaves himself every
morning except Sundays. His Sunday
shaving he does on Saturday night He
has a number of good razors, and he
says that good razor will sharpen itself
if let alone for few days.-New York

LoNGFELLow's EARLY HOME.

| g2ages and literature at the early Gge Of
! nineteen. Other honors followed, but
not without the proportionate amount
Of labor and study. At twenty-six he
stood in the foremost ranks of the poets.
When Autumn" came to this useful

ly," for never had forty-two years Of
one life so worked itself into the lives
and love Of a people as had Longfel-
lows. His writings all have a simplic-
ity and austerity Of outline, cheer,
glow and benevolence of sunny spirit SO
in sympathy with the life of the COM
mon people that they foated in through
''The Open Window" OF public senti-
ment and sweetened "The Goblet Of
Life for all who read them.
His style is various, but simple, choice,
musical, sincere and sympathetic. In airy
grace, elegance, melody, pathos, natural
ness, moral purity and earnest human
ity Longfellow cannot be surpassed. Al
though he was not leader in mirth, his
humor was always genial and pleasing
He was especially fortunate IN the choice
of subjects, and although his similes
were ofttines farfetched, they were al
ways clear and interesting.
His poetry corresponds to his own
good and generous life. The rule tnat
prevails through all Of his writings is
expressive of himself In character, in
manner, in style, in all things, it seems
that his motto was, "The supreme ex-
cellence is simplicity" Though man
of deep and tender feelings he was not
bard of passion, but of daily life and
domestic affections He wrote nothing
during his life that could be called real
love poetry, but he treated of the sub
ject in general way In Hyperion"
we see the story of the authors life in
the form of romance The hero, Paul
Fleming. is Longfellow himself, and the
sweet and gentle Mary Ashburton is
Frances Appleton, who afterward be-
came Longfellow's beloved wife.
His most thoroughly American poems
are "Evangeline, ''Hiawatha" and
'The Courtship of Miles Standish." The
last is delightful story of the good old
Colonial days. His most purely senti-
mental are ''The Day is Done" 1.-The
Reaper and the Flowers" and Footsteps
of Angels" There is sweet, sad
"Weariness" about some of his pieces
which tells as that his life was not with
out its ''Rainy Day
There Is one piece of Longfellow's
which makes the reader richer every
time it is read, and that is 'EThe Psalm
of Life" It is a little sermon in verse,
but it is worth its weight in gold.
Not only have "The Bells of Lynn"
and 1.-The Bell of Atir'' rang out his
praises, but fame itself has scattered
them to 1.-THE Four Winds" and the
poet who never soiled his pages with an
unworthy allusion, and wrote out Of his
own purity of heart for the people of his
day cannot be forgotten, but while men
and women remain votaries to the true,
the beautiful and the good Longfellow's
admirers will increase.

1t seems inevitable that Sir Walter

author is throwing off brilliant romances

a teeming brain and a tingling pulse, he
cannot be expected to be oyercareful.
No one knew better than he-a famous
horseman himself-the limits Of endur-
ance in a horse. He makes Wilfred of
Ivanhoe advise his enemy, the Teinplar,
