MIR. BLAINE's CONDITION.
The Ex-Secretary a Mere Skeleton of Hi
 Former Self.


 Former Self. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-It is said at MT. Blaine's house this morning that he passed very good night
 Mr. Blaine is so wasted that he weighs now only 100 pounds. He will be 6 next week, and has always doubted his ability to tide over that clima cteric, which is the ninth age of man, each meas ured by period of seven years. The anatomists tell us that the human frame is made over every seven years. In woman the grand climacteric occurs at the end of seven of these terms-that is, when she is 49; in man, at the end ol nine, or at the age of 63. Mr. Blaine's friends feel much solicitude on this point,

IN DEATH VALLEY.
The Task of Grading Road Over a
 Stretch of Solid Salt.


 The grading road of solid salt was until recently an unexpected task in engineering, and is thus described by one of it's operators: In what is known as the Death Valley we found a stretch of solid salt about eight miles across. In a sense it was level-there were no hills or valleys In another sense there was scarce a level square inch on the whole beds, for the salt crust had prob ably, through the influences of heat from above and of moisture from below. been torn and twisted and thrown up in the most jagged peaks, pyramids and cris-crossed ridges imaginable.
 They were not high-none more than four feet-but there was not level space even for a mans foot between them- Every step made was on a ragged point or edge of some kind. The near est approach to anything like that I have ever seen was on the ice on Lake Erie, where two fields had been jammed together by the wind and held so by the frost The ragged ice masses were somewhat like these salt masses. They were larger, but they were not so sharp or in any way SO difficult to cross. Judging that the crust would sustain Cao W0lSnG O1 Cl0 ClC "OFhLuSu swung the sledge-hammers day after day until they had beaten down these pinnacles into a smooth way six feet wide. It was perhaps the most labori- ous engineering work ever done in the country, for the climate and location, far from civilized habitations, com bined to retard the efforts of the workmen.
 The roadway, when completed, led over what may be properly called naturally formed bridge of salt eight miles long the only bridge of the kind in the | world.
 As one enters the easterly end of this road, two unmarked graves are seen in l the salt crust near the track. They are
 the graves of unknown men who died there from the heat, and, after the
 fashion of the country, were buried
 where they fell. They were covered
 over with pieces of salt broken from
 the pinnacles near by. The crust was too hard to warrant digging into it. One must travel long time to find two
 more graves like these. if indeed two
 more can be found in the world Age | of Steel

TRAMCARS VS.. SOLDIERS.
SOMEBODY is LIABLE TO BE
HURT.
A Military Funeral Procession Broken
Up by a Street Car Driver-The
Soldiers are Hot.

For months past there has been
more or less friction between the drivers
Of the Street Car Company and the
military. The former seem impressed
with the idea that their elevated
and responsible position as drivers of
the Royal Hawaiian Tramway Com
pany allows them privileges not &C
corded to ordinary citizens, nor even
the licensed hack drivers. A disagree
able occurrance took place on Nuuanu
street yesterday during the progress Of
the funeral procession towards the
cemetery when the driver of car No.
20 overlook the cortege. Captain
Ziegler's company was marching on a
portion of the track, when the driver
whipped up his horses, purposely, SO it
is said, and very nearly ran into the
rear Of the column. Captain Ziegler
ordered a change in the marching
order, but several members of the
company narrowly escaped being run
over. AS it was the whole line of the
procession was broken up.
Returning from the cemetery the car
overlook the military, and noticing that
the troops were marching on the track,
the driver urged his horses into run,
and into the rear column of Lieutenant
Smiths detail from Company A. This
was knocked out of line, the men
jumping on either side of the car to
save themselves from being run over.
The car still went along, the horses
being vigorously lashed by the driver,
until it ran into the company com
manded by Lieutenant Coyne. The
latter Immediately ordered his men to
stop the horses and car. One of the
soldiers thrust his gun under the collar
of one of the animals, causing it to
rear and kick. The driver continued
whipping and urging the animals, when
Coyne drew his revolver and threatened
to shoot them if the driver did mol
desist. This settled the matter.
This is not the first time such an oc.
currence has happened On the da,
