WASHINGTON, ID. c., December 22.-
From what can be learned with any
sort OF certainty to-day, itwould seem
that Mr. Blaine'S condition has taken q
slight turn for the better during the
past twenty-four hours. The improve
ment is by no means great but IL Is
sufficient 10 inspire the family with re-
newed hope, and this afternoon there
was an air of life ab0nt the house such
as has not been seen for fortnight
past.
Mr.. Blaine is at present in condition
where the developments OF each day
must speak for themselves. He is very
weak and OF course the progress OF the
disease might make the case quickly as
sumo an alarming phase, but for the
present there are only slow and almost
imDerceptibie variations from day to
day. Those persons who have been
around sick beds where hours passed in
which they could not see much change,
can imagiue the case OF Mr.. Blaine.
Comparatively speaking, the past
three days have been good ones. Mr..
Blaine is propped up In bed each day
al intervals but only for short periods
He is aware OF what goes on around him
and takes an interest in the movements
OF the family. he is free from pain.
The newspapers he does not see nor are
they read % him. In the absence of
anything marking decided change in
his conditian 10 is the hope Of the family
that public interest will lessen and leave
them as entirely free as they would be
were the patient less known to the pub
lie.
The greatest dread that troubles the
family now, 10 is understood, is a recUr-
renee of the heart weakness Of Sunday,
aud "A consequent ending OF the long
struggle. DR.. Johnston is apparently
able TO give no assurances on which TO
base hope that this may not occur atany
time. The principal difficulty now IS
with the heart, and the treatment IS d.
rected toward keeping its action regu-
lar and natural. Only partial success
has so FAR been achieved.
DR.. Johnston says his table is flooded
each day with letters from people in
different sections Of the country advis-
ing him how 10 treat Mr.. Blaine's dis
ease. Some OF them intimate that the
doctor has not diagnosed the case prop
erIv, while the patent medicine people
are filing up good sized store room

as swimming the horse across arms Of

A Bsaue,t Of Prankils.

The supreme court Of Pennsylvania
has just rendered decision upholding
the bequest made by Benjamin Frank.
lin century ago to promote early mar.
risges. Franklin bequeathed Gl GOO
each to the cities Of Philadelphia:
and Boston, to be lent upon matri
mony to apprentices who wished to es
tablish themselves in business. The
rate Of intsrest to be charged was per
cent, and Franklin calculated that at
the end Of hundred years the fund in
each city would amount to e13l 900.
BE directed that the odd 1000 should
be spent by each city in public improve
ments and the remainder lent to young
married couples for another 100 years.
It was then to be divided between the
city and the state.
A year ago last fall the first century
had rolled around, and the Philadel-
phia fund amounted to little less than
$l0O, OoO, while the Boston fund amount.
ed to nearly 900, 600, or almost as much

however, the apprenticeship system had

the descendants of the great thinker

1t was also urged that the will should

provisions, since apprentices had ceased
to exist. Both Of these grounds and all
others the court rejects as inadequate to
sustain the claim of the contestants.
