in progress when he went to press last
Saturday, was concluded MONDAY by
the jury finding g verdict of murder.
Tuesday evening Judge Hawkins sen
fenced him to twenty-five years IN Yuma.
After the Judge had gone over the for.
mali,y Of asking the prieoner II he had
anything ie say why sentence should not
be passed upon him, Blaine shuffied his
feet around and fell fall length upon the
floor. After be had given two or three
stage" kicks, sheriffs Rosborough and
Cohenour picked him up and the court
finished reading the sentence. Every
one who Witnessed tho scene enacted by
Blaine were certain that he was simply
acting part to excite sympathy.

The plank in the last democratic ma.
tional platform, In relation to silver was
broad enough for even Grover Cleveland
to stand on 1t profes.ed to favor the
coinage Of gold and silver without DIS
elimination, bat with the proviso that d
dollars worth OF silver should he put
into the dollar AZ measured by gold.
There is no getting around the fact that
II was proposed TO bridge the silver
stream ~ith structure that could easily
be destroyed. It reads as follows:
1--WE hold to the use Of both gold and
silver ~ the standard money Of the
country, and to the coinage Of both gold
and silver without descrimin ating against
either metal or charge for coinage, but
the dollar unit OF coinage Of both metals
must be Of e4nsl intrinsic and exchange.
able value, or bc adjusted through inter-
national agreement or by such safeguards
OF lie. .islation 90 shall insure the main.
tainaue Of tho parity Of the two metals,
and the equal power Of every dollar at all
times in the markets and in the payment
OF debt"
The republican plank is OF different
ology but Of the same tenor as that
OF the democratic.

A mining compa ~, operating in Mo

tina. the reason it was not able to make

come as bad az the natives; that the

the first alarm was given the Indian,
Hardy. had overtaken Blain in the hills
north Of town and he was soon back in
his iron cage. He says that when the
sheriff fred his gun he thought he was

the chair over the fence. The chair

DRAINS NEEDED IN SOCIETY.
An Entertainment in Which Each
Pacticinunt Renreaented Il CITY.

A society woman in New York recently
sent out invitations to a party at her house,
asking each recipient of card to come
representing some city," Some of the cos
tunes and designs worn were ingenious,
and not few were far-fetched, but the ag-
gregation went some distance toward show
ing that brains are not altogether lacking
among the 400. One woman, whose name is
Florence. determined to go as herself, pure
and simple, and in consequence of the fact
that she neither wore nor carried an en-
blem of any sort, says the Recorder, no
one guessed the very evident city for which
she stood, although all were quite familiar
with her name. A picture of the cardinal
points of the compass, with a weather vane
pointing due west, was of course, West
Point but not even one guessed it.
An ingenious design was that of a COW,
with 800 cwt" under it, in connection with
which no one thought of Boston" A few
guessed Little Rock when they saw the
extremely small pebble which one pretty
girl carried about her very conspicuously.
Another had piece of paper which she
doubled again and again when asked what
she represented, and this was supposed to
suggest Dublin" Another had pinned on
her dress sketch of a farmers boy in
very wide baggy trousers, which looked so
much like a Quaker that one could think
only of Penn City, when they should
have guessed "Toulose." A paper with a
lot of bicycles drawn on it was "Wheel-
irg."
One lady carried a very pretty bag of
silk and lace from which her dainty hand
kerchef peeped forth, and when accosted
she opened the bag trife and said ''jest
peak" and that was chesapeake" tiny
bell pinned to the dress was, of course
Belfast A cork was SO easily known to be
the City Of Cork that the woman who as
yet had not guessed a single one felt that
her wits must be looking up when she
found herself right In these two instances.
A very squatty IL" again drove her to
despair until bright young girl whis-
pered in her ear Lowell" This is a de-
Iightful game for artists or persons with
artistic talents A pencil sketch as fine
as an etching of a beautiful falls and a
quiet river meandering peacefully below it
was Fall River, but you were so entranced
by the picture that you forgot that it was
symbolical.
A quantity of scrub oaks was Oakland,
and as only the few who had visited that
modern Athens were familiar with the
shape and foliage of the scrub oak, this was
among the mysterious signs. A bright
young woman applied a small torch to the
gas jet frequently, and Immediately quench-
ing the fire with her fingers, upon which
few other bright young women said
"Berne" That a piece of Bristol board
should mean Bristol was so ridiculously
easy that few thought of it, nor of the fact
that the strawberry hull which a gentleman
wore pinned to the lapel of his coat might
mean Hull"
