that would have been repealed but for the in
reference of Gen. Malone when U S. Sen

the statutes by provision excluding from
minor commissions men who would make

inauguration Incidents.


A newspaper correspondent tells story
somewhat as follows Just as President
Cleveland was leaving bis rooms at the Ar
lington Hotel to ride to the Capitol to take
the oath Of Office, Mrs. Cleveland called him
back and putting her arms about him kissed
him three times, notwithstanding the pres
ence of a dozen people standing about. Be
tween her warm kisses she bade him "God
speed. i" and there is no question but that he
went forth to his duties stronger man.
AT the head Of the inaugural procession
and leading the conference committee OF
the Business Mems Club of New York-Mr.
Cleveland's special body guard and escort
was our young countyman, W. de Hert-
burn Washington, who took more than an
active part in the late csmpaign-having
organized two Of the largest and most intiu-
entail clubs in New York City. The Pres
ident invited him to take place on the
reviewing stand with himself and cabinet
which was quite pleasant episode in his
young life and q source Of qualification to
his Jefferson friends.
Among those who rode in the great IN
augural procession as an aide to Marshal
Dickson. was our former countyman, Thos.
W. Buckley, who is now one of Washington
City's active business men.
The Charleston correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says:
To Mr.. Stewart w. Walker, member from
Berkeley, belongs the credit, more than to
any one else, Of effecting an agreement be-
tween the two houses and securing the pas
sage of the appropriation bill at the pres
emf session. When he arrived here from
his home. Sunday night, everything was IN
a tangle aud everybody at sea as to what to
DO to harmonic the differences between the
two houses. With an erroneous idea as to
the way TO solve the difficulty the conference
committee had made changes in the appro-
priation bill i'm clauses not the subject OF
disagreement between the two houses in
order to put the bill in a shape to satisfy
members of the House who had been anger
ed by the Governors veto of the Prince tax
bill 1t was clear to Mr. Walkers mind
that the committee had transcribed Its
powers that the bill in such shape could
not pass, and that if it should pass it would
be declared defective by the Governor OF
the Supreme Court, and not dollar could
be taken from the treasury upon it. Mr.
Walker so impressed the members of the
committee with this view that they rescind-
ed their action in regard to their indePend'
ent amendments to the bill, and recon-
mended agreement or disagreement to the
amendments made by the Senate. The re-
suit was a ready agreement to the report o.
the conference committee and the passage
of the bin without much delay.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The following
8 the official statement OF the attending
physicians as to the cause of Mr.. Blaine's
ieath:
The beginning of Mr.. Blaine's illness
dates back some years. The earliest signs
of i'll health were associated with, and no
doubt due to, a equity tendency which
manifested itself in sub-acute attacks Of
govt, disturbances OF digestion and pro-
gressive innutrition and anPmia.
Subsequent events prove that at this
time changes were going on in the arter-
les OF the body, which resulted later in
symptoms Of obliteration of vessels. and
chronic disease OF the kidneys. The at
tack of paralysis in 1887 was connected
with similar alterations I'm the blood YES
sells OF the brain.
During the summer OF 1892 the evidence
OF falling health was more decided, and
in November, after his return to Wash
ington, his symptoms suddenly assumed
an aggravated form. From this time,
although there were periods OF apparent
improvement, he continued TO grow worse
from week TO week. The symptoms were
al first more directly connected with the
kidneys, and examinations showed that
there was progressive interstitial change
going on In that organ, and that he had a
form of chronic Bright's disease.
In December signs OF lung compiled
ton appeared, which were no doubt con
nected with the general disease, but ss
tubercle bacilli was found i'm the sputa Il
IL probable that there was some tubercu-
lar infection as well. Much OF the dis-
tress which Mr.. Blaine suffered was asso-
cisted with this disease Of the lungs and
his
Death Was Certainly fastened nv ~.
Towards the end OF December the heart
began to show signs OF unusual weakness
from cardiac degeneration and dilatation
and on December Is he had an alarming
attack OF heart exhaustion; from this he
rallied, but others OF the same nature re-
Cured on several occasions.
From the middle of January these at
tacks ceased and the action OF the heart
was more uniformly good. There was,
however, a daily loss Of flesh and strength.

Dunlap Decides That He viii Not
Enter Theatrical Life.

Boston, Jan. 2S.-James Dunlap Is not
TO become an actor. He will not go or
the stage and take part in the sensational
plan which is to recall to tn, memory Of
the people OF Massachusetts the robbery
of the Northampton National Bank, in
which he figured so prominently some
II years ago. He has made up his min
to lead an honest life and endeavor to
comply with the wishes of those who se-
cured his pardon from the governor.
At one time IL was stated authoritative
ly that Mr.. Dunlap was to go on the
stage, and protests were made against
such proceedings. The report reached
the governors ears, and he at once set
about to see that Mr.. Dunlap did nothing
OF the kind. Lengthy correspondence
has passed back and forth between the
governor and Mr.. Dunlap's friends and
many consultations have been held. 1t =
doubtful now If the play even viii be
produced in Massachusetts.
Some four weeks ago 1t was made known
at the State House that Mr.. Dunlap in
tended TO take a star part in the play. IL
first reached the ears OF Executive CLERK
Edward p. Hamlin, who Immediately
communicated with Mrs. Rowland, VINO
figured so prominently as his lifelong
friend, and asked her to inform him at
once il such were Mr.. Dunlap's intentions.
Several days past and no answer came.
lie wrote again, and received in reply a
letter, in which she said that, in her opin-
ion, Mr.. Dunlap was under no obligation
TO the state OF Massachusetts,, and did not
see why there should be so much interest
manifested in his welfare.
The letter was at once handed to the
governor, who took the matter into his
hands. He at once wrote to Mrs. Row
land, and cot n reply, but a very different
one than what Mr.. Hamlin did. The let
tiers from that source softened, and MIR.
Dunlap has decided that to the state he
Toes owe something.

Mr.. Blaine had a great ~repugnance TO

SOME ELABORATE fEASTS.
spIendor of Entertainments N Few Gem
turtles Ago.

It was the vogue at one time in Venice
to gild the roles of bread and the oysters
on the supper table. The candles were
also coated with gold. We read of din
ners of state which lasted four hours.
Something Of their nature may be dis
cerned in the brilliant pictures OF Vero-
nose, which, seen in Venice, give us so
vivid an idea Of Venetian life three or
four centuries ago. There were, of course,
also banquets OF quite exceptional lavish
ness in honor OF the distinguished guests
who were constantly drawn into the vor-
tex Of Venetian gayety.
In 1862 the Patriarch OF Aquileia feted
Ranuecio Fsrnese, the Pope's nephew, in
his palace on the Giudecca. The roomS
were decked with extraordinary sumptu-
business, cloth of gold, paintings, and
Examinations adding to the effect pro-
duced by the Patriarch's cooks. Among
the guests were twelve gentlemen In
fancy marine costume OF green satin with
red lining, wearing caps OF the same
colors, and each accompanied by a lady
in white. This repast also lasted four
hours, varied by music and the profess
sional entertainers OF the day. IL ended
with the cutting up OF certain large pies,
from which live birds flew out into the
room. The guests strove with each other
to catch those birds.
But perhaps the most expensive ban
quet ever given in Venice was that TO
Henry Ill, of France. He was feasted In
the great hall OF the Doge's Palace, and
there were silver plates for 5000 guests.
At another time the same monarch was
entertained at a sugar banquet; the nap
kins, plates, knives, forks, and even the
bread $50 called) were all of sugar. The
Venetians were nightly pleased when
Henry tool his napkin in his hands, and,
to his surprise, found that il broke to
pieces. At this feast 1 geo different dishes
were served and 800 sugar effigies were
distributed among the ladies.
Whatever might nave been said against
the Venetians, they were a hospitabie
people-this, too. in small as well as in
great matters. When, for example, IN
1916, an ambassador from the Khan OF
Tartary visited the city, n ii was
known that the Khan and his suite car
ried out one shirt apiece in their bags,
the Senate formally voted twenty ducata
that they might be provided with ad-
ditional shirts, which were accordingly
made ga la tartarescha," and presented.
We can imagine how the good council
lors and citizens would enjoy this kindly
little iCsf.-N
