The Patient Was Better Yesterday, But
not Decisi, ely So.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-Dr Johnston
paid visit to Mr.. Blaine between and 6
O'Clock p. III. He said Mr. Blaine had
rested comfortably all day, and was much
better. He had rallied considerably and
there was no reason to expect a fatal
termination during the night Mr. Joseph
Manley paid another visit to the Blaine
house last evening and remained more than
an hour. When he left, the house at 8
O'Clock he said he did not see Mr. Blaine,
but had a talk with Msr Blaine, who told
him that Mr.. Blaine had rallied consider
ably and the family were much encouraged
He was conscious while Mr. Manley wasin
the house and had been conscious during
the day. Several times the sick man had
showed an inclination to converse, but
he was persuaded not to talk
Could Make no Prediction.
Just before O'Clock last night Dr. Hyatt
drove up and entered the house. He stayed
about an hour, and during his visit he
made an examination of the patient who
had awakened from his slumber When
he left DIR. Hyatt reiterated what Dr.
Johnston had said about the condition of
Mr.. Blaine during the day and added that
there were no signs of fatal turn in the
case during the night. With the habitual
caution of the expert practitioner, however,
he was careful to make the reservation
that no absolute prediction could be safely
made in cases where the heart was in
volved.
One Bright SPOT in the Cloud
1t is clearly apparent that Mr.. Blaine had
surprised his physicians by his recuperative
powers, and while they attached no more
meaning to the improvement realized yes
terday than an exhibition of physical abil-
ity to rally almost from the extreme rigor.
it sufficed to convince them that there was
still some store of vitality upon which the
patient might draw for time One of the
bright aspects of the day was the ability of
the patient to take nourishment and to get
along without extraordinary stimulants.

that he knew nothing whatever about the

SOCIETY AT THE CAPITAL.

1t Has Passed the Stage OF Surprise and
Waits for the End.
The political, social, and private world OF
Washington, in which Mr.. Blaine and his
family have been central figures for many
years, long ago recovered from the surprise
caused by the knowledge that the plumed
knight was stricken with a fatal illness,
but they do not forget the shock occasioned
by the premature announcement on that
quiet Sunday three weeks ago that he was
dead Sunday they were again alarmed.
and now that it is certain that recovery is
impossible citizens of ali walks of life are
waiting sympathctically for the end to
come.
Many Callers at the House.
Every passer-by looks up at the third
story frcnt window of the historic old red
house where the invalid lies and where oc-
casionally his devoted wife can be seen
moving about administering comfort Mrs.
Blaine has given orders that as far as DOS
sible the house be kept as if nothing un-
usual was going ON within. The blinds at
all the old-fashioned windows are thrown
back during the day and members of the
household pass in and out as usual. The
outer doors are not closed at night until
late and at all times the cards Of callers are
received and inquiries as to Mr. Blaine's
condition answered at the main entrance.
Yesterday there were many callers.
Social Pleasures Go On.
During the afternoon the carriages and
sleighs occupied by members of fashionable
society going to their dinners and re-
ceptions hurried by the big house, for in
Washington the social whirl goes on in
the face of all the shadows Of coming
sorrow. Should Mr. Blaine die many
social events already announced or pro
spective would necessarily be postponed, but
so long as he is alive there will be no inter
ruption to the regular programme.
Blaine Was Decidedly Improved.
Rev. DR.. 7. S. Hamlin, pastor of the
Church Of the Covenant, called at o'clock.
He came out in few minntes. "Mr.
Blaine is much better, they say" was his
reply to question. A joint consultation
lasting perhaps an hour was held between
Drs. Johnston and Hyatt in the afternoon.
When the physicians left the patient at 3
o'clock both concurred in the statement
that Mr.. Blaine's condition was decidedly
improved. He had maintained the slight
strength consequent upon the unexpected
rally in the morning.

AS TO 1 II

While the city water is a little low, a
good shower from time to time will help
out. The reservoir will be cleansed and
cemented, a larger pump will be placed
at the supply pond, and pretty soon the
system, while it will lack much of being
perfect, will be better than ever, and the
service will be a surprise all around.
1t will. of course, take some time to
straighten these things out, but the graft
flying part of it all is that the work is
under way and the time will not be long.
The new filter which is being constructed
will help wonderfully, and there is in
deed cause to believe hat the city will
have something worth calling water
works.
All we need do is to wait a few weeks,
and not swear and tear hair if water is
pure and the pressure is weak. 1t is
coming, my children.

AS 1T Is.

THE GLOBE yesterday contained much
information concerning improvements
in course of progress in this city. AL
these Improvements are of the perma'
nent class; they are being mace by ouI
substantial citizens-they indicate per.
manency and solidity.
There is no use to longer talk about
Durham only as a fact. The idea that
the town was an experiment, and would
go down like so many boom towns have
gone down, has exploded, and Durham
becomes a fixed and absolute fact on the
map of the world. And as the days 20
by the town grows bigger and better and
stronger. There are still many enter
prises which mean much for all of US.
The chronic g%rumbler and kicker who
made so much music here a few years
ago has crawled into his hole-and the
hole seems to Fave disappeared with him.
There is a little feeling now of "hard
times" but generally speaking there is
hopefulness and willingness on every
hand.
Durham in fact is leading all other
towns in the state in the matter of i'm
provements, and THE GLOBE dares say
and will prove that there have been ex.
pended in the two years last past more
dollars than were expended in five years
preceding them. And the cry is that
still the dollars go-go into substantial
and elegant dwellings; go into brick and
mortar for business blocks; go into the
hands of the laboring mainland the town
has much to show.
Cotton mills and manufacturing enter
prises do not stop when hard times is
cried, because capital which wants safe
investment knows where to stop and
where to locate.
Too many Durham people have built
and are building homes to now allow this
city to ever stand still. We invite all to
and see our improvements and join
us in the uDbuiIdinp of what is COR
tain to be the biggest and busiest town in
Carolina.

1.-THE best product of institutional de-
velopment in North Carolina Methodism
Her graduates may we'll be assured of
her solid growth and increased useful
ness; any commonwealth in the union
could feel a justifable pride in an institu-
ton thus equipped with men and means
for the diffusion of christian culture. In
her faithful adherence to this policy of
infusing the christian spirit into all the
phases and interests of human life, we
confidently predict that in due time she
will, on her own merit, be given all the
means that are needed to accomplish her
work.
We appeal directly TO the Methodists
of North Carolina, preachers and Law
men alike, to stand as one man, TO this
our W college from this time forth
and to show their loyalty by sending at
least $50 students for the opening in Sep
TENDER next With present prospects it
is only reasonable to expect this. To re
aliZe it, every man and woman should
go to work at once to secure that mum
Der of students as a certainty. The fu-
ture of the college lies with the church
which owns it if the church does her
duty by giving the institution her enthu-
siastic and undivided support, we are
confident, beyond a doubt, that it's per-
manent prosperity will then be assured.

The State Museum Continues to Receive
Valuable Relics.
The Raleigh Visitor says: By invita-
ton Of our friend Curator Harris, of the
state museum, we paid a visit to day to
that most interesting depository. We
found some valuable additions recently
made which are of much interest. Mr..
ID. a. Goats, of Smitbfield, has recently
sent to the museum a small portion of a
pine tree, in which is solidly embedded a
minnie rifle ball supposed to have been
fired by a Yankee at the battle of Ben
tonville. 1t was taken from the field of
battle. Mr.. Harris also received a wooden
finger ring. 1t is nicely cut, and inlaid
with silver, the work of a Confederate
soldier. There has recently been de-
posted in the museum a lot of kaolin
china clay, sent by the clay company
from Dillshoro, Jackson county. The
company are shipping about forty on a
week to Trenton, n. j. One of the most
remarkable deposits in the museum is a
specimen of genuine m~eerschaum from
the plantation of Mr. W. E. Aycock, in
Panther Branch township, Wake county.
1t Is in the shape of a heart and is as
pretty a piece of meerschaum as any of
the foreign article we eve saw.
