BLAINE STILL LINGERS
Wonderful Vitality of the Elk.
Secretary.
CAUSES SURPRISE TO THE DOCTORS.

Mr.. Blaine Rallied Considerably Yester-
Night-He Was Conscious Nearly All
the Day-To-day He Hus Sunk Into q
Stupor-He Suffers Little Pain.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Mr.. Blaine
passed a comparatively comfortable night.
His vitality is so low and the stupor in
which he sinks as his eyes close is so deep
that the anxious watchers about his bed
side can form no estimate of his real con-
dition. A melancholy satisfaction is
afforded them, however, by the doctors,
who assure them that the patient is not
suffering and that in his moments of con-
seriousness he is in command of his mental
faculties.
DR.. Johnston remained with the sick
man throughout the night. DIR. Hyatt
left about midnight with several friends
of the family and his departure from the
house was unheeded. He had previously
consulted with DR.. Johnston and the
patients condition seemed to warrant one
of the physicians in going home for little
much-needed rest.
Mr.. Joseph Manley paid another visit
to the Blaine house last evening and re-
manned more than an hour. When he
left the house Mr.. Manley said that he
did not see Mr.. Blaine, but had a talk
with Mrs. Blaine, who told him that Mr.
Blaine had rallied considerably, and the
family were much encouraged.
He was conscious while Mr. Marley was
in the house, and had been conscious dur
ing the day.
Several times the sick man had shown
an inclination to converse, but he was
persuaded not to talk. Mr.. Manley's visit
to Washington was for the express pur-
pose of seeing his old political and per-
sonal friend.
1t was clearly apparent that Mr.. Blaine
had surprised his physicians by his re-
Operative powers, and while they at
tached no more meaning to the improve
ment realized than an exhibition of
physical ability to rally almost from
the extreme rigor, it sufficed to convince
them that there was still some store of
vitality upon which the patient might
draw for time. One of the bright fea-
lures too, was the ability of the patient
to take nourishment and to get along
without extraordinary stimulants.

A MOUSE IN HER HAT.
But She Was Not Frightened So Much
the Clerk.


But She Was Not Frightened So Much
as the Clerk.
A recent San Francisco dispatch
says: One day this week lady went to
a Fourth street store to make some
purchases. She engaged a young clerk
in conversation concerning various
articles. While talking to her the
clerk CHANGED to look at her hat II
moved slightly. Then he looked again.
and again the feminine headgear was
perceived to be in motion. The young
man turned pale and his tongue did
cleave to the roof of his mouth. Like
one suffering with nightmare, he
wanted to scream, but could not. All
the time the lady's hat kept moving in
peculiar way. The young man kept
his gaze on the hat-for some reason
unknown to himself he could not do
otherwise. Presently he saw one side
of the hat raise up; then pair of
sharp, bright eyes peered out. The
next instant out from under the hat
jumped mouse. 1t landed upon the
pale young clerks shoulder and he ran
into the street yelling like Comanche
ugh! what was thatl' screamed the
lady.
ut was mouse, and he jumped out
of your hat" answered the pale young
clerk between his chattering teeth.
And so it was. The lady had taken
up her hat care lessly, put it on and
worn it to the store. On the way, she
said, she felt something moving in her
hat, but thought it was the breeze
moving in her hair. She was greatly
surprised at the developments, but not
so frightened as the pale young clerk

Policemen Branded as Liars.

NEW HAVEN, Jan 1O.-State Attorney
Doollttle took most extraordinary step
this morning in the superior court, and
one which branded as liars Officers
Cooney and McKeon of the New Haven
police force. The two officers swore in
both the lower and higher courts that
they caught Mrs Fred Cornell of this
city and Charles o. Hyde, of Ansonia,
in the act of adultery. State Attorney
Doolittle was evidently disguised with
the officers, and at the close of the evil
dence refused to argue the case. Judge
Hall of Willimantic was on the bench
and he instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict of not guilty. This the jury did
without leaving their seats. Attorney
Goodhart said that this termination of
the case was one of the most extraordi-
nary in the records of the superior court
for some time.

EARLY CHRISTIAN RECORDS.

Interesting Documents Found In q Tomb
in Upper Egypt.
Great interest has been created il
literary and ecclesiastical circles in
Europe by the recovery from tomb in
upper Egypt of some old codices which
Prof. Harnack was the first to recognize
as fragments Of some of the earliest
Christian records, supposed to have been
irretrievably lost. They are three In
number. One of them bears the title
''The Revelation Of Peter" 1t is
prophetic book, resembling the Apoc.
alypse of st. John and was quoted as
sacred Scripture" by the great Chris.
tian teacher, Clement, of Alexandria,
in the second century after Christ. 1t
is supposed to have been written by the
Apostle Peter. Another is: 1.-The Cos.
pei of Peter" narrative of the life OF
Christ, similar to those of the four Cos
pels, and containing some curious varia-
lions in the account of the crucifxion
and resurrection. 1t was in use in the
second century, especially in the Syrian
communities, and was at first admitted
by the ecclesiastical authorities, but
afterward stigmatized as agnostic. 1t,
too, is supposed to have been written
by st. Peter. The third codeX contains
considerable fragments of the book OF
Enoch, a prophetic book which was of
high authority among the early Chris,
tians, but the origin of which is uncer-
tain. The ascription Of it to the Old
Testament patriarch "who walked with
God" is, of course, mere literary fc-
ton. A translation of the fragment of
the Gospel of st. Peter" has appeared
already at Cambridge university. Prof.
Harnack's full report will be published

INSPECTOR EVANS, LETTER.
People Must Not Loiter in the Lobby q

People Must Not Loiter in the Lobby o
the POstohice.
Postmaster Doherty to-day received
the following letter from Postoffice In
spector Evans:
BOSTON, Mass, Jan 8, 1898.
Colonel j. B. Doherty, Postmaster Wa
terbury, Conn.
Dear sir: During my recent visit to
your Office I noticed that a great many
people were lettering in the lobby. AS
the size of the lobby has been consider
ably reduced, owing to the necessity for
more space inside, desire that you take
some action with a view to keeping the
lobby, clear of people having
no business there. The lobby
of the postoffice is not for
the purpose of transacting any kind of
private business, and it is certainly not
place for loafing. Every patron of the
office should have due regard for the
rights of others and should take his
mail away and give other people a
chance to get to the boxes and transact
necessary postoffice business. If you
cannot stop this lettering in any other
way would advise that you call upon
the local authorities to assist you and
arrange to have an officer drop in &C.
caslonally and see that the lobby is clear
OF people having no business there.
l presume that the fact that your Of
nee used to have public passageway in
some measure accounts for this trouble,
out the sooner you give people to under
stand that United States post office is
no place for lettering and the transac-
ton of private business the better it will
be for the interert of all concerned,
Very Respectfully,
GEORGE s. EVANS,

wITHDRAws FROM THE COMBINE


TRENTON, Jan. 10.-It is stated that the
Central Railroad Of New Jersey has with
drawn from the Reading combine and has
asked the Chancellor to be allowed to
prove the fact.
The decree Of the Chancellor of New
Jersey, directing the officers and directors
Of the latter company to again take
charge of thoir property, pending litiga-
ton as to the legality of the lease, is
referred to.
The report says the Philadelphia &
Reading is by this decree relieved Of all
responsibility for the operations of the
Central, and that the details of the oper-
ations of the Central properties by the
Port Reading do not in any way affect
or bear upon the operations of this COM
pany.
On the subject of having secured a
controlling interest in the Poughkeepsie
bridge system, now operated under the
title of the Philadelphia & Reading &
New England railroad, the report says
that the new company is already earning
more than the charges guaranteed by
this company, and it is expected that the
traffic will be greatly increased.
Speaking further on the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey lease, the report says
that the continuance Of the delivery Of
coal to the Coal and Iron company BY the
Lehigh s. Wilkesbarre company was con-
sidered by some as disobedience Of the
courts orders,l and it was, therefore,
deemed wise and prudent to cancel this
latter contract.
NEW YORK, Jan. Gen
eral Stockton, of New Jersey, who has
conducted the suit against the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and other rail-
roads entering into the combine, when
asked as to the truth Of the report that
the Central Railroad of New Jersey had
withdrawn from the coal combine and
had applied to Chancellor McGill to be
permitted to make proof Of the fact in
the pending suits, said: "My information
is to that effect.
"What effect this action will have on
the pending suits against the Central
railroad" the Attorney General said,
will depend upon the character of the
proof submitted to the Chancellor. If he
is satisfied that the lease and the tripar-
tite agreement in reference to the coal
lines has been annulled and that no
agreement now exists the effect of which
is to raise the price Of coal by a combina-
tion, the object sought by the bringing of
these suits will then have been accom-
plished."

Miss Fades Not the Agent OF pisbons

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. 1O.-Bishop
McQuaid, who was shown the published
statements about Miss Fades being the
agent in Rome of all the Bishops in the
New York province, denounced it as an
unqualified calumny. He also said: ITO
my certain knowledge she is not the
agent of a single Bishop In the New York
province, and, although an esteemed
friend of nearly 20 years, it so happens
that for close upon three years I have not
received any communication from her, nor
have I written a word to her or commu-
icated with her"
