THE ANNOUNCEMENT Of Mr.. Blaines
death creates no surprise. Indeed, the
wonder about it is that ii has been so
long delayed, for those most familiar
with him knew in the fall of 81 that his
fate was sealed. He was a doomed
man from the start, and even superb
cial observers recognized that fact 4
year ago, for it was indicated in
every lineament Of his face and in every
movement of his body, and was even
more patent to those who conversed
with him, for his mind had shared the
infrmities of his body, and for weeks
it had been blank, though his physi-
cal frame withstood the disease until
this morning. Mr.. Blaine was an am
bilious man, and possessed in an emil
nent degree the personal magnetism SO
conducive to the success of such men,
In praise of his brains, too much can
not be said. of his morals, the least said
the better.

The GROOM HAD REvENGE.-After
two attempts at a wedding, the mar
riage of George Baily and his cousin,
Miss Bertha Baily. of Catawissa, Pa,
has been declared off. Young Baily is
a rich farmer and the bride that was TO
have been is social favorite in that
town. A month ago wedding invita-
tons were sent to scores of friends.
The day set for the marriage came and
everything, from the preacher to the
bic dinner. was ready. When the bride
reached the parlor door, she looked
frightened and darted up stairs to her
room. No amount of coaxing could get
her out.
The friends of the young people were
astonished. The wedding was post
poned. The groom seemed to have
hope and was unremitting in his atten-
tions. The girl finally yielded to his
entreaties and yesterday was set for
the final vows. The same minister was
on hand, but before he concluded the
ceremony, the groom paralyzed every
body present by declaring that he had
cha1Sed his mind and wouldn't be mar
ried. That settled it for good.

Whether in public position or in private

nomination at Minneapolis is too fresh
to need repetition now. About the be-
ginning of this administration he pur-

place has been unoccupied for some
years and was in dilapidated condi-

IT Is now confidently asserted IN

that President Harrison has, on the
verge of his political decay, definitely
determined to nominate republican
for associate justice Of the I. ;. SUI

the republican Senators are just as re-
solved to confirm his nomination. Well,

rapacious ehrontery is a republican
Characteristic. the highest court in the
land will be composed of seven repuo-
licans and two democrats, though there
are a great many more democrats than
republicans in the land-even in the

democratic South, and though the IN
tentjon of those who created the court
was that it should be a non-polltlcai

prevent this ifthey would, and they Will
probably make show of attempting to
do So and keep it up for awhile, but
unless decided change for the better

their dreams they will soon abandon it,

well rid of the whole affair There are
some democratic Senators who compare
favorably with those of the olden time,
but unfortunately for their party and
for their country, with the majority OF
them it is just the reverse.

patch from Haverhill, Mass, says
Caught in the horrid embrace Of a
monster boa-constrictor thirsting for
revenge, William 0. Bannon, an ami
NAL trainer of the Wonderful Musee,
had an almost miraculous escape from
death in serpeni's coils.
Tuesday, Bannon, who has charge
of all the animals, having formerly
been employed by the Walter L. Main
circus, found sore in the reptiles
mouth and burned it out, etfecting a
partial cure, but causing intense pain.
Evidently the boa nursed its wrath,
for when Bannon opened the cage and
took it out to examine the sore, the
vicious reptile gave a spring and coil,
ed itself around lannon's neck and
body, pinioning his arms to his sides.
Bannon struggled like mad to gain
his freedom, but in vain. Tighter and
tighter the snake drew its coils and
finally Bannon became unconscious
under the terrible pressure.
y. ~. HdTrlSoH, duolHei NiuSoS oiA
ploye, tried to pry the snake off the
mans neck with an iron bar, but the
boa turned on him like flash. Then
to save Bannon from death by the fear
full squeeze, he opened his knife and
cut the reptiles throat.
The boa was 10 feet long. and weighed
111i pounds, and was valued at 800.
1t was exhibited every day by fe-
male charmer and had never showed
signs of viciousness before. Bannon
is expected to recover.
