puished Public Services.
James G. Blaine died at his home in
Washington last Friday morning at II
o'clock Mr.. Blaine's life had hung by a
thread for several weeks, but death at the
last came suddenly, no marked change for
the worse being noticed in his condition, al
though he had been only partially conscious
for some hours Mr.. Blaine suffered from
complication of diseases, but death I'M
loubtedly resulted from Brights disease
THE immediate members of his family
were present at his bedside when Mr.
Blaine breathed his last, having been sum-
poned about an hour before by one of the
attending physicians. The President hast
cued over from the White House to express
nj, condolences as soon as Mr.. Blaine's
death was announced, and was quickly fol-
lowed bv members of the cabinet, senators,
conservatives, members of the diplomatic
corps and many others of prominent rank
i'm social and official life. Both houses of
Congress adjourned, an extraordinary mark
of respect to one holding no official station.
Equally marked and exceptional was the
action of the President in issuing procla-
nation announcing the death of his eX-sec-
rptarv. and ordering the executive depart
ments of the government to be closed on
the day of his funeral.

Italian Bank Scandals.

A despatch from Rome vouches for the
statement that the Banca Romana, the
governor and cashier of which were ar
rested few days ago, was subsidized by
Signor Crispi, the eX-premier. The Banca
Romano is the institution which an
nounced that its note issue amounted to
S14,600,00O. When rumors regarding the
condition of the bank got afloat an official
inquiry was held into the banks affairs,
and this revealed that the note issue was
ST., 400, 900 in excess of the amount sup
posed from the banks published reports.
A number of prominent men, including
eX-ministers, deputies and journalists, are
openly charged with having received mon
ey from the Banca Romano for years 1t
is said that some newspapers received a
subsidy of 10000 lire annually. The jul
cial inquiry is said to have shown that the
Banca Romano supplied the ministry with
a large amount of money in the last cleo
ton. The failure of the Banca Romano
will, it is expected, cause the collapse OF
several other institutions.

a Horrible Lynching Follows "A HOrri-
bile Crime i'm Texas.
The details come from Paris, Texas, of
the horrible lynching of a negro in revenge
for a crime of inconceivable atrocity com
mitted by him. The negro, Henry Smith
by name, was angry with policeman who
dubbed and arrested him when disorderly.
In revenge he picked up his little daugh-
ter, three and half years old, near her
fathers house, gave her candy to stop her
cries, and carried her to pasture outside
the city. Here the negro, big burly man,
first viciously assaulted the innocent child
and then, taking one leg in either hand,
literally tore her in twain. covered the body
with leaves and brush and lay down and
slept through the night. Next morning he
went home and made his wife get his
breakfast which he ate, and then left
When his horrible crime was discovered,
the whole town became wild with excite
ment and turned out in body to search
for him. He was finally captured at Hope,
Ark, and when brought back to Paris the
whole population for miles around was
there to meet him The officers tried to
fight off the mob, but the negro was seized
and carried to the scene of his crime where
a platform had been erected on which he
was placed in full view of the crowd, and
literally tortured to death with red-hot
irons. The body was then covered with
cotton-seed hulls, soaked in kerosene, and

Sugar Making In Vermont.
From the Maine Farmer.l


Vermont land owners still get large in
come from their sugar maple orchards
An interesting feature of their late dairy
mems meeting was an exhibition of evap-
orators. Their inventive genius has got
the matter of evaporators brought up to a
high degree of perfection. The great
point is to get the sap into the finished
syrup as quickly as possible after it leaves
the tree. An evaporator was shown that
would reduce 40 barrels of sap in day,
the cold sap flowing in at one end and the
syrup discharging at the other Under the
most skilful handling they make sugar
almost as white as the refined sugar of the
trade. Much of the syrup IL now canned
and bottled and goes into consumption the
year around with as high a maple flavor as
when first put up. The business is said to
be on the increase throughout the state.

President Harrison's Proclamation.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington. Jan. 27. 1893.

W dSniHBlOU, Jan, Z Z, 1890.
1t is my painful duty to announce to the
people of the United States the death of
James Gillespie Blaine, which occurred in
this city today at II o'clock.
For full generation this eminent citizen
has occupied conspicuous and influential
position in the nation. His first public
service was in the legislature of his state.
Afterward, for fourteen years he was a
member of the national House Of Repre-
sentatives and was three times chosen its
speaker. In 1876 he was elected to the
Senate. He resigned his seat in that body
in 1881 to accept the position of secretary
of state in the cabinet of President Gar
field. After the tragic death of his chief
he resigned from the cabinet, and, devot-
ing himself to literary work, gave the pub
lie in his Twenty Years in Congress-" a
most valuable and enduring contribution
to our political literature. In March, 1899,
he again became secretary of state, and
continued to exercise this Office till June,
1892. His devotion to the public interests,
his marked ability and his exalted patriot
ism have won for him the gratitude and af-
lection of his countrymen and the admira-
ton of the world. In the varied pursuits
of legislation, diplomacy and literature his
genius mas auueu he" luslre 10 American
citizenship.
AS suitable expression of the national
appreciation of his great public services
and of the general sorrow caused by his
death, direct that on the day of his fu
neral all the departments of the executive
branch of the government at Washington
be closed, and that on all public building'
throughout the United States the nationa
flag shall be displayed at half-mast, anc
that for a period of 80 days the depart
ment of state be draped in mourning.

f. W. Adams, a well-known Chicago
newspaper man, has taken out series OF
patents which he thinks will revolutionize
the present methods of constructing loco
motives and passenger cars. Mr.. Adams S
inventions are based on the theory that air
has the same quality of resistance as wa
ter, and that a train should be built as
nearly as possible on the lines of an ocean
steamship. He will make his engine point
ed to cut the atmosphere. The tender
runs back and meets the lines of the first
car, to which it is vestibuled by flexible
hoods of the exact contour of a section OF
the car. The several cars of the train are
thus vestibuled. The tracks, brake-bar'
and other connections are inclOsed in hous
ings which extend to within a few inches
of the track, so that when vestibuled the
train will present the appearance of one
long car without projection to catch the
air resistance.

Joseph Donoghue, the young Newburg,
N. Y, boy who went abroad two years ago
and defeated all of the speediest skaters Of
Europe, gained fresh laurels last week
Thursday, by proving that he was the fast
est long distance as well as short distance
skater. He covered 100 miles in hours,
II minutes and 80 seconds at Stamford,
Conn, defeating franklin of New York
and Ennis of Stamford, two well-known
long-dstance men. Donoghue would have
made a record of 100 miles in seven hours
if boy had not run into him, causing him
to fall and injure one leg. This accident
caused delay of u minutes. Franklin
made 100 miles in hours and 80 minutes
and Ennis in 8 hours and 81 minutes, both
beating the old record Donoghue made
% miles in one hour and 81 minutes 30
seconds; 80 miles in ! hour 80 minutes 20

80 2-6 seconds, and 70 miles in hours 4

Mr.. Blaine's will leaves all his property
unreservedly to Mrs. Blaine and she is the
sole eXecutrix. His estate is estimated to
amount to about 100000, a less sum than
has usually been supposed. Much of the
property is likely to increase largely in val
lie against the time when it will be divided
among the children. Only three children
are now living-Mrs. Damrosch, Miss Hat
tie, and James G. Blaine-but Mrs. Blaine
cares for the children of Mrs. Coppnger,
her eldest daughter, who died three years
ago.

they declared that there had never been
such transaction. In May of that year
blow was aimed at Mr.. Blaine in the reso-
luton introduced into the house to inves-
tigate an alleged purchase by the Union
Pacific railroad company, at an excessive
price, of certain bonds of the Little Rock
& Fort Smith railroad An extended bust
ness correspondence between Mr.. Blaine
and Warren Fisher of Boston had fallen
into the hands of a clerk named Muligan,
and it was alleged that the production of
this correspondence would confirm the i'm
putations against Mr.. Blaine. When Null
ligan was summoned to Boston Mr. Blaine
possessed himself of the letters. On the
9th of June he rose to personal explana-
ton, and after denying the power of the
house to compel the production of his pr-
vate papers, and of his willingness to go to
any extremity in the defence of his rights
he declared his purpose to reserve nothing.
Holding up the letters he exclaimed:
"Thank God, am not ashamed to show
them. This is the very original package.

with a sense of modification that do not

an evasive answer, Mr.. Blaine asserted, as
within his knowledge, that the chairman

His Later Years.

Mr.. Blaine took an active part in the
Maine canvass of 1886, speaking principal
w on the fisheries and the tariff. In 1888
Mr.. Blaine went to Europe in poor health.
He sent two letters from Europe, saying
that he would not be a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination under
any circumstances, but in spite of this
some of his supporters made strong can
vass in his behalf. After assuming the
secretaryship of state under President
Harrison Mr. Blaine took important steps
in the Boring sea fisheries question with
Great Britain, and other international az
fairs. In 1890 he formulated the reciproc-
ity policy, which was incorporated into the
tariff act, and which led to commercial
treaties with several countries. His sud
den and sensational resignation as secre-
tary of state last June, and the active use
of his name for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination, by some of the professional
politicians of the party, after there had
been an understanding that he would not
be a candidate, and his defeat in the con
yention at Minneapolis, are facts fresh in
the minds of all He spent the summer at
Bar Harbor, and in October spoke at
Wbitelaw Reid's Ophir farm, while on his
way to Washington. He has since re-
NAMED in that city. Late in the fall his
illness assumed serious form, and as long
ago as Dec. 10 it was thought that death
was at hand.
The death of three of Mr.. Blaine
children-Mrs. Coppinger, Walker and
Emmons Blaine-and the scandal attend
ing the marriage of his youngest son,
James G. Blaine, jr., within few years,
were crushing blows, and it is undoubtedly

The MuIIIgan Letters.

Early in 1876 Mr.. Blaine was charged
with receiving S64, 900 from the Union Pa
ellic railroad company for some underlined
,,2ryices. Mr.. Blaine made answer in the
house, producing letters from the officers
of the company, and the bankers who were
said to have negotiated the draft, in which
