correction in minor points aud to gain 9th

From the Medina County Gazette of
April p, 1876, quote few of the many
things said of the life of Harrison G..
Blake, jr., who was a child of nearly two
years of age at the time of his mothers
death, and who was left at home with his
sister Lucy on the fatal night. Harrison
G. Blake, jr., lived in Medina, Ohio, from
1880 to the time of his death, April IS,
1876. After giving his early history and
his rise in life from clerk to a lawyer and
banker, the article says: "In 1916 he was
elected to the lower house of the legisla-
ture of the state (Ohio), and reelected in
1877. After that he was twice elected to
the state senate, at the last session being
chosen speaker. Mr.. Blake served two
terms in Congress as representative from
the state of Ohio; the first under Buchan-
an, the second under Lincoln. In Con-
gress he was an anti-slavery man and
strong opponent of Vallandingham, whom
he had also opposed in the state legislature.
He was on the committee on post offices,
and in that capacity originated, reported
and secured the passage of the bill which
gave to the country the present post office
money order system. During Mr.. Lin
coins administration Mr.. Blake was offer
ed the governorship of one of the terrific
ries, but declined it. His name was prom
inently and generally mentioned last fall
1S75) in connection with the Republican
nomination for governor, but he positively
declined to permit his friends to canvass
for him, his choice being Gov. Hayes"
The facts stated can be easily verified in
the records of Congress, as also his speeches
in opposition to Vallandingham.

 CT Dinner Speech.


 CT Dinner Speech
 The genial old philanthropist. Horace Greeley, went to New Orleans after the south had taken him to her heart in grateful recognition of his action in go- ing on the Jeff Davis bail bond, and the people were anxious to show him every attention in their power.
 A dinner seemed to bc the proper thing, and the markets of New Orleans. than which there are few better in the world, were ransacked to make the oc- easion as notable for its viands as for the distinction of the guest and the din CTS Judge Walker. the veteran editor of The Picayune. presided He was a great gurmand. and after the manner of gOrmands wished none of the fine points of the dinner to be lost to the guest for lack of commentary
 ''Mr. Greeley" said he, ''these Oys- ters arc the best that come to our mar ket, and we think they vie with those of Norfolk I observe that you are not eating them
 "well, mo-" replied Greeley. The truth is 1 never could abide shcllfsh- |" And he passed
  tie soup, which Judge Walker explain cd was prrparcd from the finest fat tur- tie tho Florida hays could afford
 No doubt. no doubt, v was the rcply in Greeley's peculiar whine, but cold blooded animals are an abominatiOn to me-
 Tho pOmpano. imperial fish that il is. and fresh from the gulf, was open to the same objection, despite Judge Wal ker's eulogy, and that, too, was passed Mir. Greeley 6arely tasted the accUmpa- uying Parisian dainty and shook his head rucfully at the idea that anybody would impair his digestion by eating cucumbCrs.

Q large number of young experts arc in training for the event and as they arc dis playing rarc proficiency thus carly in the year, the winner of the all corners of 1894 will be focman well worthy of the best efforts of Champion Wrcnn's skillful racket.
 According to tho National Tennis asso- citation, the best 10 players of last season wcrc tho following. who arc named in or der of merit: First, RObCrt ID. WrCnn; second, Clarcnco Hobart; third, FP'd H. Hovey; fourth, Malcolm q. Chacc; fifth, w. A. Larncd; sixth, F.. l.. Hall; seventh, Richard Stevens; eighth, Arthur F.. Fuotc; ninth, John Rowland: tenth, ClarCnCc R. Budlong. Nearly all of these experts arc very much in the hunt again this season, and 1t is believed that Chacc, Hobart, Larned, Footc and Budlong will display great form in the all corners. O. =. Camp bell, who won the championship of the United States in 1890, 1891 and lSn2 and who defaultcd to wrCnn last year, won the tropical championship for the fourth time at St Augustine on March 29 of the present year and may make an effort to again capture the national championship. He is hardly playing in old time form, however, for Inc and F.. L. Hall wcrc easily defeated nt Tuxedo rccCntly by Malcolm Chncc and Dean Miller, and it is not like

 Clarence Hobart, the talented New
 Yorker who. with F. II. HnvCy, won the
 national doubles championship last year
 by defeating Campbell and R. r. Hunt
 ington. Is after the singles and doubles again this year. He played n wonderful game last season and was generally lnnkCd
 upon the probable winner of the cham

 port, and Wrrnn captured the coveted honor. It was not the first time, however
 that Hobart had seen the laurcls slip from
 him when almost within his grasp. He has been a prominent player since lSSS and in 1891 hc won the all corners and challenged Champion Campbell, only to meet defeat.
 Fred Hovcy Is another veteran whose experience has been much like that of lIO-
 bart. In 1892 he won tho all corners, but went down before Champion Campbell $
 mastcrful play. Hovcy has practically rc- tired, but may bc in it again at Newport
 this year.
 Chace seems to possess as promising form as any of the aspirants who arc after Wrenn's championship scalp. He Is in | tercollcgiate champion and has at one time or another defeated about every prumi- | nent player now on the courts. Hcis play | ing great tennis this season and Is aS

 Larned of Columbia college is another expert who Is playing in fine form. He recently won the middle states champion ship from Stevens, who capturcd the cup in 1899 and 1898 and was very anxious to register third victory. At the Sea bright tournament July n he dcfcskcd Chacc. Larncd plays n somewhat cratic Esmo and is wild at times. hut on tho whole his work Is of q brilliant character A great many good men went down befOrs his racket last season, and at Newport he worsted Chace. Larncd was intcrcollc giate champion in ls92.
 Last year stevens play was of n vcrs high order. He not only won the middle states championship, defeating \. F. Footc, tho challenger, but he won the Longwood tournament from wrrnn, Cheoe and Valentine c. Hall and played Fred Hoycy q very close match for the Longwood cup. If Stevens takes bract from now on, he may stand an excellent chance in tho all corners at Newport.

Foote. last years champion al Yale, Is another promising player. At tho intercollegiate championship of 1895 Inc defeated Budlong and was beaten by Chaoe In tho finals. At the tournament of tho Noighborhood club, Boston, or June 25 of this year, Foote easily defeated Champion wrcnn, who was badly out oi practice, and who was suffering somewhat from foot that had been spiked during . kbaseball game.

THE STRIKE

The great strike in the west has passed its climax. and day by day it may be ex- pected to wane in size and importance. The fact that it would fail was settled from the moment that violence was used and the trains of the railways were pre- vented from running. It is undoubtedly true that the main body of the strikers took no hand in the deplorable acts of vio- lence which were perpetrated. There is always a large element of the anarchistic and the vicious in a large city ready to take advantage of any such occasion for purposes of violence and pillage. But tae strikers are held responsible. and the troops that are called out to quell the dis turbance and the unfavorable public senti- ment aroused by lawlessnees strengthens the hands of the corporations and greatly lessens the chances of the strikers, no matter how worthy the cause.
 In the present fight we have heretofore expressed the opinion that the strike was a foolish one. The contest was a purely local one between the Pullman company and its employees. The interests of the railroad men were not involved, and they expected too much from the railroad com panies when they asked them to break their contracts with the Pullman company and lay themselves liable to heavy dam ages. It was a foregone conclusion that the companies would refuse and the Ameri, can Railway union. only six months old and scarcely known in the east. rushed into a strike which the older and more conservative organizations would avoid. It is amazing that General Master Work. man Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor should have lost his head and called out his | followers at the time when unprejudiced ob servers sax that the back bone was broken The heads of the other railway orders o
 the country acted with creditable discre
 ton in the emergency. They saw th'
 folly of the action of the new and mighty
 organization, and avoided inc pitfall.
 | It appears to us that the strike is neal | it's end When the strikers see that tn,
 roads are being operated without them, nt
 matter how imperfectly. the temptation
 will be too strong to resist, and once con
 siderable break is made the demand will b.
 so great that the leaders will be forced |,

The Railroad Engineer Gets Csus of Trouble

 Superintendent Warren of the East ern Illinois railway was telling the Oth CT evening of q certain engineer in tine employ of the road who had bccn re- peatedly cautioned against running toO fast. He was running a freight train. and on one portion of his division tlcrc was steep hill His orders were Ia never permit his train tO go down that hill faster than l5 miles mn hour. hut II was general belief that whenever hC had safe opportunity he sailed down that grade just aS fast as the wheels W Uld turn.
