WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The closely
drawn blinds Of the Blaine mansien, the
air of Quetude pervading its surround
ing, the Grape on the bell knob, and the
absence of the newspaper watchers,

GIBBONS AND BLAINE.
Result OF the Cardinals Visit to
Blaine

DLdlHC.
New YORK, Jan. 2S.-Referring to the
visit of Cardinal Gibbons to the home of
the late Mr.. Blaine, the Suns Baltimore
correspondent says: A priest to whom
Cardinal Gibbons related the story of
his visit to the Blaine resi-
dence in Washington, is authority
for the statement that it was
at Mir. Blaine'S solicitation that the
cardinal called. Here is the story as
related by the cardinal himself to the
priest who gives it out:
Il did not 90 to see Mr. Blaine on the
day | was summoned there, Saturday,
Monday. met there Mrs. Walter Dam
seemed very much averse to my see
ing her father. | was finally ush-
cred into the sick mans bedroom,
and found him lying there almost in II
state of coma. Mrs. DamrOSch reused
him somewhat and SAID: Father, father,
here is Cardinal Gibbons. You wished
to see him. MIR. Blaine Indicated that
he understood her. but did not open his
eyes or attempt to speak. Mrs.
DamroSch then spoke to him
again: Father, here is the
cardinal. Did you want to endow a
church? Mr.. Blaine shook his head in
the negative. Do you want to give
anything to the poor?' Mrs. Damrosch
asked. Again the dying man shook his
head"
This, according to the priest, was the
full extent of the conversation. Mrs.
Damr0Sch did not inquire whether her
father wished to see the cardinal on
spiritual subjects, and seemed relieved
when the cardinal departed without
broaching such conversation. The
cardinal received no more invitations
after this.

DID TIE WHISKY DO 1T?
After Stiff Teddy the Worthless
Pup Routed the Deer.


Pup Routed the Deer.
New York SUM-
Last fall, when the Boston party of
deer hunters went to Moose river on
their annual deer hunt, they took along
four dogs, one of which was a pup two
years old called Skip. The pup
wouldn't tree partridge or run fox
or rabbit. Its ownef had taken it along
to shoot ii il it wouldn't run deer.
While going in on the Canada Gold
lake trail to Moose river a small doe
was started. The unpromising pups
nose was jabbed into the ruts left by
the deer's:hoOfs. The pup merely lifted
his head and howled. The owner said:
'l've good notion ter shoot the cuss
now, but reckon Pll try termorrow."
The next day five OF the men were
posted at the Spring hole, Saddle back
and other well known runways, and the
other two men went with the four dogs
back on the mountain. The owner of
Skip was one Of the drivers. The deer
were started by the dogs, but Skip only
hoWled when he was "Sicked' after
them.
The dog had got to die, sure enough,
so the owner called it to him and put a
strap around its neck and then tied it to
a sapiing. The drivers usually leave
their guns at the camp, taking only a
revolver. When Skip was tied to the
sapling he kicked and jumped around
so much that the dogs owner would not
shoot lest he merely wounded the brute,
and so he decided to give it something
to quiet it down. Taking a flask out of
his pocket and filling. the cup with
mixture of whisky, water and sugar, he
held it out for the pup to drink. The
dog first shifted at it moment, and
then eagerly Tapped with his tongue till
the cup was emptied, but, instead of
quieting him, the pup jumped twice as
hard as before. At the second jump
the strap around his neck broke, and
the pup started toward the top of the
mountain.
The men took couple of shots at the
dog, which did nothing more than make
it run faster. Then throwing the dog
chains over their shoulders the men
started for a runway, where they had
heard several shots fired in rapid sue
cession. They had almost reached the
runway when they heard dog running
back Oh the mountain, but thinking i was
a dog belonging to some other party.
they paid little attention to it until it
turned and was coming toward them.
They listened several minutes, and as
they were on the point of going on a big
buck jumped across the opening made
by beavers years ago. Less than ten
minutes after Skip came down Oh the
deer's trail, running much faster than
any other dog in the party.
Skip is now called one Of the best dogs
in the country, for he put more deer in
the water last fall than all the dogs
around here. Ten deer were killed
ahead of him, not to mention the ones
he raced that were not killed. What
the WoodSmen hereabOuts would like to
know and what they argue about is. did
the whisky have anything to do with
his training?

Dlaine's Death Foretold Five
Years Ago.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the New Haven
Register tells this story as coming from
an intimate friend of the Blaine family:
Five years ago Mr.. Blaine, having
been told of many wonderful predic-
lions by an aStrologer (as he called him
selD, consented to have his fortune told.
Mr.. Blaine, it need hardly be told, was
not a believer in the prophetic powers
of the alleged "astrologer," and was in-
clined 10 laugh at those whose gullibil-
ity he believed enabled these people to
exist Many commonplace statements,
TIE story goes, were given by the astrol-
oyer, but one impressed itself upon the
minds Of those TO whom Mr.. Blaine
afterward related the incident. That
was that MI. Blaine would die in 1888,
and before the 2Sth of January.
Mr. BIaine'S death occurred Oh the
21th day Of January, 1893.

his deep regret in being unable to COM

THE LIGHTNING CURE.
A Vivid Flash Photographed on
His Mind His Own Drunken Per-
Sonality.


New York Sun. 1c
Speaking of curing men of the drink
ing habit" said Mr.. Stay bolt, 81 had a
friend who was cured by flash of light
ming. He went to bed onenight drunk.
There was nothing extraordinary about
that; he often did: but on this occasion
he was awakened some hours later by a
tremendous shock.
HE opened his eyes and looked out
into his room, or tried to look-it was
so dark he couldn't see anything-and
lay there and listened. thinking that he
might hear the sound again. 1t was
summer, and warm; he was lying on
his back, covered only with sheet.
Suddenly flash of lightning revealed
to him the outlines of his own form.
There was but one thing that could
look as his living body looked to him at
that roment, and he imagined that he
saw it.
when he came to think over it in the
morning he knew, of course, that he
would not have been so frightened ii he
had not been all unStrung; but he had
never before realized what hard
drinker he had come to be. and he made
gp bis mind that it WAS time to stop.p
