WAsHISeToN, Jan. 27.-James G.
Blaine is dead. The ex-Sccretary Of
State passed away at II o. clock this
morning There was no warning given
the public and the early morning re-
ports OF the physicians were such as
10 give assurances that Mr. Blaine
would live many days The first ioti-
nation given of MIR. Blaine's death or
that there had been a serious relapse,
was shortly after IL o'clock. DR..
Hyatt, who had been with mis- patient,
was leaving the house. lie had reached
the gate, when the butler appeared at
the door and beckoned him back. The
doctor hastily re-entered the house,
but according 10 reports Mr. Blaine
had died before the doctor reached his
bedside AtII3O the doe tors refused
to say more than chat Mr.. Blaine was
dead
Death came peacefully. Az he end

they stayed until an was over. Drs.
Hyatt and johnson came ont OF the
red house a few minutes after death
ap4 gave the news to the death watch.
To your correspondent DR. Hyatt
said. THE end was peaceful as any
have seen We thought at $3.50 that he
could not live through the day. He
had at that time suffered the relapse

TO produce the slightest appreciable
effect On the contrary he ,ontin-
ued to sink; but as the end approached
his old-tilue clearness OF mind came
back and his mental strength seemed
TO increase. At the same time he did
not speak The members of the family
were all summoned, and gathering
around the bed watched with anxious
eyes for some signs Of revival We
continued 10 apply the restorative
remedies, but they had no more effect
than water He seemed conscious of
his condition, but he did not speak |
doubt if he could speak. At l0:@
it was plain to see that he had
but few minutes longer to live
We could do nothing more. And rs he
showed no signs of pain we merely
watched and waited. His eyes grew
brighter and it seemed at times as II
he were bout to speak. But his lips
did not move His breathing became
fainter and fainter, and az just min
or two before III ne took one look
around the room, peered into every
face. closed his eyes and without cry
Of pain pr aught that would int ieate
he was doing more than falling into
peaceful sleep, he died"
The news few through the capital
with electric speed A few minutes
after the death the Star was on
the street with an extra, and
then the News came out and the
streets of the city resounded with the
shrll cries Of the uewsboys, So many
extras had been issued of late an
uounciug the death of some great man
that the public took it for granted
that another life had gone, Pre-
pared as all had been SO long

docs 1T PAY TO STEALpn

Under the above caption we published
an original contribution in our issue of
May II. Several of our exchanges hon
ored us by reproducing the article, Civ
ing, in every case except one, due credit
to THE MIRROR. The exception was
the Norwood Times, which published
the article as original editorial matter!
We quote the first paragraph of the
article to show that, as an editorial for
a newspaper published outside of prison
walls, it was clearly a misfit:
l can hear some answer, eyes, if you
steal enough" But the meaning l wish
to convey does not apply to stealing
sanctioned by law; it simply applies to
common, every day stealing. which the
law, in it's dignity, is bound to punish.
1t applies only to those who are caught
and cannot afford to buy their way out Of
it. So, / think that the majority of the
inmates of this institution, as well as
those of similar institutions, would

answer very emphatic "No.' And
who, would ask, is better qualified to
answer this query than those who have
tried their hand at stealing and now
have twenty four hours each day that
they can devote to meditating on this
very question; and, if l am not greatly
mistaken, it forces itself on the biggest
part of us here.
Now, the question is, who is the ga
loot that committed this asinine act
The article in question was intended to
discourage stealing, and yet this num-
skull deliberately commits a theft which
was sure of detection! OF course the
Hon. j. w. Craven, editor of the Times,
is entirely blameless, for he was in Chi
cago at the time, but the joke is on the
Times for all that.

Some enterprising Yankee must have
left his home in New England and
moved to Buffalo recently. A joint
stock company has just been started at
Niagara, whose capital is away up in
the millions, and whose object is the
utilizing of that vast volume Of water,
which for ages has washed over Maya
"a Falls, and been of no other service
to humanity than to feast the eye of
the sight-seer. This company proposes
to construct a tunnel above the falls,
