THE LATE Mr.. Blaine was repre-
sentative and Senator in Congress, and
u member of the Cabinet, and when he
died was a private citizen. On the day
of his funeral all the departments Of the
federal government were closed in re-
spect of his memory by order Of Presi-
dent Harrison. The late Justice Lamar
was a representative and Senator in
Congress, member of the Cabinet, and,
at the time of his death, was an Asso-
ciate Justice of the t. 5. Supreme Court.
On the day of his funeral Mr.. Harrison
issued no order closing the government
departments in respect of his memory.
These are the plain facts of the case
the inference is just as plain.

Church, at Altoona, Pa, Friday, per-
formed marriage under sad circum-
stances. He united Miss Martilda
Jane Blackstone, daughter of Mrs.

young lady was permanently injured.
Her condition is critical. The young
lady, realizing that her end might
come at any time, expressed wish
that the ceremony might take place
that night. Judge Blake was summon

mother to her daughters marriage, as
Mrs. Blackstone was unable to go to

A Rector Who Danced.

4 dispatch from New Brunswick
n. j., says: The public hereabouts
is much interested in war of words
which is being carried on in the news
papers between two well-known minis
tiers. The contcnding clergymen are
the Rev. II. II. p. Roche, the young
and dashing rector of the fashionable
Protestant Episcopal Church of Metu-
chen, and the Rev. Nicholas Wiers,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Midtown. Both towns are
suburbs of New Brunswick. The
cause ofthe trouble is an item that ap-
peared in the Metnchen Observer a
few days ago. 1t stated that among
the attendants at the last dancing re-
ception of the Mctuchen Club was the
Rev. Mr.. Roche. Rector Roche was
among those who participated in tripp-
ing the light fantastic" said the item.
The Rev. Mr.. Wiers, straightway
rushed into print in criticism of the
rector of Metuchen. which appeared in
the New Brunswick Home Neics, DOM
inie Wicrs said, as "a watchman on
Zion's WALL" that any man who fire.
quented bathrooms had no right to the
communion table. The Midtown par
son did not mince matters in the slight
est, and he was very outspoken in his
opinions of minister of the gospel
who led the people Of his flock such an
example.
To this attack the Rev. Mr. Roche
replied on Friday afternoon in the
Home Nems He said: This Mill
town trumpet has given anything but
certain sound. The sound is so un-
certain that am compelled to correct
its errors. 1t is my constant custom.
as everyone in this community knows,
to recognize, and from time to time
take part in the social life of my par
ishoners, Indeed, it would seem to
me most unatural position for pas
tor to assume-that Of standing afar of,
wrapped in a mere conversational
sanctity, and piously ignoring the in
nocent pleasures ofhis people.
"Of course, beyond the CHEEKY greet
ing and friendly word, have hitherto
not felt called upon to so. Not that
there is anything intrinsically sinful
in dancing under such circum-
stances as these of which l speak, but
simply because the sight of priest
tripping the light fantastic would bor
der on the ludicrous.
The ReY. Mr.. Roche, in his reply,
does not deny that he did dance,
but those who attended the ball say he
only danced in square dance.

The Across the Table" Affair.

a dispatch from Chicago says: Mr.
H. w. Thornton is a typical son of
Virginia, especially when it comes to a
matter concerning his family. He is
manager of the Huber Painting Com
pany, Chicago, and one of the leading
spirits of the Iroquois Club, of that city.
He has beautiful young wife, who has
been married to him but q few months,
and the live at the Victoria Hotel, Chi
cago. A few days ago, Thornton was
in Cincinnati on business, when he re-
turned to Chicago and found his wife
in tears. The following note was the
cause:
Il have noticed you frequently at the
table, and hope l do not hatter
myself when venture to assert that |
have found favor in your sight. I
would like to meet you. Send answer
by elevator boy, who delivers this.
Yours affectionally,
across THE TABLE"
Mr.. Thornton started to find the mar
who sat across the table from his wife.
The man evidently heard that he was
looking for him, for the following note
reached Thornton before dinner
My Dear Sir,-I have an apology to
make to you. l saw the lady was alone,
but did not dream that she was married.
| do not know that this lessons the of
Tense, but did not intend to humiliatc
you or your wife.

THE NORFOLK & WESTERN BRIDGE.
The first applicant for permission to
use the tracks of the Norfolk ond West
ern in the District of Columbia is the
Baltimore. Cincinnati and Western. Its
receiver, Mr.. Victor Smith, on Satur-
day forwarded the application to the
Senate District committee. In it he
says that the topography of the Vir-
ginia side Of the Potomac is such that
it would be equivalent to denial to use
the tracks at all to compel railway
to connect with the Norfolk and West
ern on the Virginia side He wishes
his road to enter the District from the
Maryland side and to connect with the
Norfolk and Western at the most
available point approved by the COM
missioners.
The Baltimore, Cincinnati and West
ern is concern consolidated of seve-
raj corporations, and its proposed line
is to run from Baltimore to Cincinnati.
The route has been located and partly
surveyed, and Mr. Smith thinks that
his company's franchise would be made
more available if permission is given it
to operate in the District. There is no
doubt that the Norfolk and Western
bill will be amended as it came from
the House before it is submitted to the
Senate. The Senatorial committee on
Saturday drove over the route as pro-
posed within the District.

WAYCRoss, GA, March 2l,-One of the

it is doubtful If he knows that his name is

answers 10 that as we'll as Jim. Every day
in the year, rain or shine, Crazy Jim Is on
the streets. lie does not confine himself to
any particular street or streets, but goes
over as many as he can during the day.
Every man, woman and child in the place
knows Jim. Jim Is not lazy, but makes
himself useful by choppinR wood and doing
many other chores about the house. There
| seems to be no harm in him, but it is said
that he stole something once
and was put on the chain-Gang.
He was found 10 he nuisance in the chain
gang and he was given his freedom. But he
is remarkable for many things. His is very
proud Every day, cold or hot, there is no
more familiar sight than TO see Jim walk
ing with az umbrella sheltering his head
and tanning himself with q palmetto fan.
He wears huge rag on his head and
beaver hat or "a flv bonnet on top of the rag.
Jim does not contine himself to mems fash
ions, but often comes along with woman's
dress on and shawl around his shoulders.

every Sunday morning he gets q patent

Cotton Futures.

New York, March 21-The SUMS cot
ton review SAYS: Both factions seem to be
resting on their arms The bulls were taken
back q little by the Liverpool Jews this
morning, which revealed a rather luke
warm market there. with the spot business
still light. On the other hard, bears are
disposed to be rather cautious, owing to the
persistent predictions Of the settlement of the
strike In England on Thursday. Some time
or other the strike will be settled, and it
may be that Thursday will be the day. The
trade have often been disappointed IN such
predictions, and there are many here who
place little faith 10 them even now, and yet
almost everybody is inclined 10 await de-
velopments. At tho moment the market acts
little tired and some of the Liverpool
cables go 30 far as TO say that even if the
strike is settled Thursday it will not be
likely to cause much Of an advance there
They profess to believe across the water, at
least in Liverpool, that the set
tlemenr of the strike hos already been
discounted. In the meantime stocks here
and abroad are large. The condition Of the
American cotton goods market is not fav-
orable as recently. Manchester's trade
with India is smaller than that of last
