the people of tho United States the death
of James Gillespie Blaine, which occurred
In this city at IL o'clock. For full gener-

conspicuous aud influential position in the
nation. His first public service was in the
legislature of his state. Afterwards, for
fourteen years. he was Il member OF the
national house of representatives and was
three times chosen It's speaker. In 1876, he
was elected To the sentate. He resigned his
seat in that body In 1881 10 accept the posi-
ton of secretary of state in tho cabinet OF
President Garfield. After the tragic death
OF his chief, he resigned from the cabinet
and, devoting himself TO literary work,
gave to the public in his Twenty Years Of
Congress" a most valuable and enduring
contribution to our political literature. In
March. 1889, he again became secretary OF
state and continued to exercise this otllcs
until June, 1852. His devotion to the pub
he interests, his marked ability and his
exalted patriotism, have won for him the
gratitude and affection of his eouDtrymen
and the admiration of the world. In tho
varied pursuits of legislation, diplomacy
and literature, his genius has added new
lustor TO American citizenship.
AS suitable expression of the national
appreciation OF his great public service,
and for the general sorrow caused by his
death, direct that on the day or his fun.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

ment of the Progress of the Dis

ment of the Progress of the Dis
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Following is
the official statement of the attending
physicians as to the cause of the death
of the late JAS. G. Blaine:
Tho beginning of Blaines illness dates
back some years. Tho earliest signs of ILL
health were associated with and were no
doubt due to the equity tendency which
manifested itself in sub ,acite attacks of
govt, disturbances of digestion and pro-
gressivc innutrition anHmia. Subsequent
events proved that at this timo changes
were going on in the arteries of the body
which resulted later in symptoms of oblit-
GRAFTON of vessels and chronic disease of the
kidneys. In December the signs of lung
complications appeared, which were no
doubt connected with tho general disease;
but, as tuber bacilh vast found in the sputa,
it is PROBABLE there was some tn bercular
Injection as well. Much OF tho distress
with which Blaine suffered was associated
with the disease of the lungs and his death
was certainly FASTENED by 1t. For three
days before Blaine's death there was no
marked change in his condition and on the
night before death he did not seem to be in
an" immediate danger. Towards the morn
ing Of the 9th the pulse were observed to
be very feeble and the breathing became
much embarrassed. As the result OF the
heart failing in action 9pena of the lungs
occurred and he died without suffering at
IL O'Clock. Drs. Janeway aud Loomis of
New York, we're called in consultation and
rendered important service in their ad-
vice. (Signed) VIM JOHNSTON, M. d.
FRANK HYATT, NJ. ID.
The statement will not be supple
mented by an autopsy of the body of
Mr.. Blame, the members of the family
being thoroughly satisfied as to the
cause of death. Tue body will be en-
balmed for burial, the family Directing
to any disturbance of 1t.

An Experts Opinion.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien.
lists and hygienists as to the relative
value of the various baking
powders. A careful sitting of tho
evidence leaves no doubt as to tho
superiority of the Royal Baking Pow
der in purity, who!esomeness and
strength, from scientific standpoint.
An opinion, however, that will have
perhaps greater influence with our
practical housekcepcrs, is that given by
Marion Harland, the we'll known and
popular writer, upon matters pertain
ing to science of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, and of home cooking.
In o letter published in the Ladies
Home Journal. this writer says:
II regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, SO far as have any experience
in the use of such compounds. Since
the introduction of it into my kitchen,
Ihave used no other in making bis
cults, cakes, etc, and have entirely dis
cardcd for such purposes the home
made combination of ono-third soda,
two-thirds cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect con-
dition when it came into my hands,
and the contents have given complete
satisfaction. 1t is an act of simple
justice, and also a pleasure, to recon-
mend it unqualitiedly to American
housewives. MARION HARLAND."
