1t is given out this morning that Mr..
Blaine rested we'll during the greater
portion of the night DIR. Johnston, who
left the Blaine mansion shortly before
o'clock, said the patient slept we'll during
the night and was only awakened when
II was necessary to s1minister medicine.
Beyond this he refused to enter into de.
tails or give any opinion regarding Mr.
Blaine's chances Of recovery.
At $50 this morning the doctors had
not returned to the house and the only
person to approach the outside was the
letter carrier. At O'Clock the attend
was better and was resting very easily
indeed.
All over the city to-day the ex-secreta-
rvs condition is again the one topic of
conversation. The news OF his sudden
falling ana that he had suff ,red three re-
lapses, was a great surprise TO Mr.
Blaine's friends who had been led TO be-
lieve from the encouraging reports OF the
past week that he was improving.
There is no longer doubt as to the
seriousness of his condition and those
who know best do not expect the great
statesman to survive longer than twenty
our hours.
The physicians still refuse to give de-
tails but il is evident that Mr.. Blaine is
really dying and that the eventful life OF
this remarkable man is fast drawing to a
close.
Mrs Emmons Blaine, who is at Lake
wood, n. j., and Mrs. Damrosch of New
York have been sent for by telegraph and
are expected to-day.
Col. Coppinger, who married Mr..
Blaine's eldest daughter, and Miss Gail

4 Cowboy District Attorney.

Everybody in the Panhandle knows
Lorenzo Dow Miller. Better than that,
every body likes him and admires him.
Dow lives at Panhandle City and is
district attorney, and rules over twen-
ty-nine counties. He is genius.
Born in Texas, he went to the Pan
handle years ago, when the Indians
were still in the country. His capital
consisted of an unusual amount OF
common sense and siX-shooter. He
went out on the plains as cowboy,
and has punched long horns all the
way from Lost Valley 10 the neutral
strip. Around his camp fire at night
he pored over an old volume of Black
stone. Before very long he bought
some more books. Honest, sober and
industrious, he made friends as fast as
the prairie grass grows in the spring
or yearline runs in a stampede. He
astonished the world one day by an
nouncing his candidacy for district at
tornev. He astonished the world on
the day after. the election by having
beaten W. II. Woodman. his opponent.
From that time Dow has gone on un-
til he is invincible in his district. One
of his arguments. made before Greer
county jury before the yernacular of
the ranch had given way TO the polish
of the effete east, was as follows:
"Gentlemen of the jury, look at that
prisoner His phiz is dead tough. He's
thief. and a sneak thief at that.
Look at those knots Oh the back of his
head. They are the bumps Of cussed-
ness. How came to know is, trav-
eled with circus once and got on to
the racket. Now | want to give you a
confidential Tiff and drop a few points
into your system. If you turn that
feller loose the bars of every ranch in
this county will be down before Sun
day night and some fine steers will be
lost"
He let the case go and the man got
two years.
You must know Miller to appreciate
him. You must hear him tell now lie
bluffed judge ont Of lining him for
contempt by threatening to attach the
aforesaid judge as a witness in Hans
ford county and thus compel him to

Irish and Yankee SareWGness.

4 correspondent of the IOutbS COM
pni0p voaches for Il new story of Irish
shreu'dness:
a ge utleman was sitting in the wait
ino-rooL7 of a station on the New York
and New England railroad when an
Irishman turned away from the ticket
office and came up to him.
Il have got the best of this ould cor
poration for once in me life," said he.
How is that, Pat?"
q have bought round-trip ticket to
New York and back. and"-in Il whis-
peri amt comm back"
Which recalls an incident in the Old
Colony railroad station at Boston last
summer. A tall, thin woman. hand
somely dressed. asked at the ticket Of
flee for "half round trip ticket" The
agent pushed Il single ticket toward
her, naming the cost. But that is
more than the half ticket would be. |
wantNa half round trip ticket" said
she, with dignity and determination,
and when the clerk failed to accommo-
date her she paid the price of the
single trip ticket with al air and eX-
preston that said as plainly as words
that she considered herself defrauded.

Second to the OrlOfP.

The second largest diamond in the
world is now undergoing the cutting
process at Antwerp. It's weight is at
present 474 carats, but it will lose no
less than pa carats before it is ready
for the market. Even then. however.
ii will be the second largest diamond
in the world, standing between the
eighty carats of the Persian diamond
Great Mogul" and the 1877 carats of
the Russian "Orloff" brilliant. Roughly
speaking the Antwerp stone will DC
about the size of a pigeons egg.
In its present state it measures 2
TAI inches by 1,767 inches. Its poll
ished surface will measure 1856 inch
each way. Some idea of the enormous
expense OF the tiansmutation of these
costly triGes from the natural TO the
commercial state may be gathered
from the fact that the great English
crown diamond. the koh-inoor, which
has only the comparatively modest
weight of 1o2 - carats, cost no less
than GS,o00 to cut and polish. The
polishing of a very large diamond is a
very slow process and it will be long
time before the actual value of the
Antwerp stone can be determined, =. as
its luSter and water cannot be decided
until it has left the polisher's hands,

THE BOSS OF ALL BORROWERS.
He Obtained Over a Million and Half
without Any Security.

"The man who can start in life on
nothing and borrow million and
half without security is beauty"
said Joe Campbell to St. Louis Globe
Democrat man. Yet | know a man
that did that identical thing. In fact,
he was an uncle of mine, my mothers
brother-in-law. He was a German
and lived all his life in Berlin. He was
a very suave, smooth gentleman, knew
every body worth knowing, hobnobbed
with mobiles of Emperor Williams
court, and loved to live. He was en-
gagged in living; that was his entire
occupation in life, and yet he was one
of the greatest artists in Europe.
Whenever he thought himself on the
wane among those who looked upon
him as an idol he painted picture,
put it on exhibition, had all Europe
talking about it, and then he did moth
ING for couple of years. Some years
ago the art fever broke out in most
malignant form amou9 the Weather
Germans of Cincinnati. They meant
to have the best of modern painters do
a lot of work for them. My distin-
guished relatives name was well
known among them and he was in
vited TO Cincinnati. He came over
ana for couple of months he was 4
lion. He was fetcd and entertained
most royalty. He submitted some
ideas for paintings. and the people
who brought him over went crazy over
his plans. Finally he induced them to
advance him SO, 900 on the work and
he returned TO Germany to do his
painting. He died about year after,
and when the Cincinnatians started to
look up the paintings they found moth
ing but the original sketches. He had
not touched them since the day he first
submitted them in Cincinnati. That
started an investigation, and it was
found that he had borrowed in the
course of his career something over
$500, 90. He hadn't dollars worth
of security and had simply devoted his
time and talents to the pursuit of liv-
in0."

The llfe-slZed statue Of Mlnneha
ha, the Indian maiden, which was
executed by Sculptor Riordan OF
Deadwood and given to the women's
worlds fair commission of this state,
has been completed and forwarded TO
Chicago. There is a story in conneo-
ton with this statue which should be
remembered by all who expect to see
the statue at the worlds fair. Mr..
Riordan took for his subject a Sioux
maiden named Minnehaha, in connec-
ton with whose life and death there is
a romantic legend Minnehaha was
the daughter Of Sitting Bear, and her
birthplace is credited to the Black
Hills, but the family moved to areser-
walton IN the eastern part of the terri
tory near an agency where United
States troops are stationed. This was
about 1870, Minnehaha fell desper
ately in love with Lieut.. Dupont, a
tall, sta ely looking fellow, and was
unhappy when out of his sight. Du-
pont was married and did not recipro-
cate the love, and endeayored to in
duce her to go away, but she would not.
She could not comprehend the matri-
monial laws Of the palefaces. She re
que5ted to be made his servant, that
she could always be near him to wait
upon him and to shield him from the
treachery of the Indians Dupont
could not bear to see her sorrowful
face, and thought if he was out Of the
way she would soon forget him and
would dispel her mad passion, so he
applied to be moved to Fort Laramie,
Wyo, and the request was granted.
He then quietly moved to his new
station. He had been there over a
year, so the legend goes, and had en-
tirely forgotten Minnehaha, when one
night he was called to his Office to see
visitor On entering he saw fe-
male standing beside the fireplace,
her head bowed, and upon her face
was an expression of great sorrow. 1t
was Minnehaha, and she told him that
she had walked all the way from Da
kota to die in his presence. She beg
ged him not to drive her away, as she
had but a few more days to live.
MY heart broke when you left me-"
she said. II was compelled to live
with my people, but their way was not
mine, and now that am dyingI want
to be buried among the palefaces, and
will die happy to think that you will
sometimes come to my grave and pity
poor Minnehaha" Eleven days later
the soldier tenderly laid Minnehaha
under the sod on the hillside near the
fort, and pine tree was planted at
the head OF the grave, According to
tradition the tree still marks her rest

Making dynamite.
A strange occupation for woman!
Yet they are largely occupied in it in
many European communities.
The manufacture of dynamite for
beneficial use in mining and engineer
inc work, as well as for military pur-
poses, is carried on largely in almost
every part of Europe, says the Bran
don Banner.
France has three notable factories:
At Ablon, near Honfleur, on the Seine
estuary; at Paulilles, near Port Ven
dres, in the south of France; and at
Cugny, not far from Moret, in the de-
partment of Seine-et-Marne. These
establishments produce yearly over
25,000, 900 of dynamite cartridges.
One of the earliest that were set in
operation is that founded in Switzer-
land twenty years ago by NJ. Xavier
Bender. at the instance Of the late NJ,
Louis Favre, the chief engineer of the
St. Gothard railway tunnel, to provide
the powerful instrument which mod

Needles in the Hands OF the BOYS,

The boys, as we'll as their sisters,
should be taught ordinary skill with
the needle; at least such as may en-
able them to make necessary repairs,
like the sewing on of buttons and the
checking of 4 rent or rip while the
stitch in time" is still competent to
save from further dilapidation or COM
other little things about the house
which any bright boy would be the
more independent and the better salts
lied with himself and all about him if
he were taught to do; not alone that
he might save weary mother from
many little tasks, but that he might
be trained TO a sense of independence,
even in regard to duties of this nature.
