LOVE DID NOT LINGER LONG.
SECRETARY BLAiNE's DaucnrEn
WAS NOT HAPPILY WED.
WIN Apply for Divorce from Hon.
TruSton Dcnic, Her unconsenini
Husband-rhcy Have necn Married
but SIX Months.

Washington. Jan. 19--It has been
the past two or three months that Mrs.
TruNton Beale. the youngest daughter
OF the late James G. Blaine. had left
her husband and that sooner or later
there would be a suit for divorce. The
facts In the case have been very care
ever, and even now 1t is difficult 10
learn the truth. The report OF an es-
arrangement between the couple was
started soon after their return to
Washington from California about
two months ago. II was said Mt the
time that Mrs. Beale WAS living with
her mother In Augusta, and later In
the fan she took up her residence. II is
understood. at the Washington house
OF Senator and Mrs Eugene Hale OF
Maine.
Mrs. Blaine. widow OF the late secre-
tory, Is now IN her own house on De-
pont circle. where Mrs. Beale Is seen
much oftener than the residence ot
MIR. Bealo's mother In Lafayette square
which II supposed to be her Washing-
ton home.
Hattie Blaine WAS married to Trux-
ton Beale, son of the late Gen. Bealc,
In June last. In Washington. and the
wedding, although supposed to be y
quiet one, owing to the tact that tho
hlaines were In mourning. was really
an important social function. The
wedding was celebrated at noon. and
WAS attended by u distinguished COM
pany of fashionable, political and oili-
citll persons,
MIR, and Mira. Beale went Immediate.
ly to California, where the groom had
an extensive ranch, left HIM by his
father. and remained there until early
In the fall when they returned east 10
Bar Harbor and Washington.
During the winter the absence OF
Mr. and Mrs Beale from all social
events has been marked, ana also the
fact that Mr.. Beule has spent much
OF his time at the club with his male
companions.
His sister. the wife OF John II. Me-
Lean Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has
been an extensive entertainer during
the winter, but the young married
couple had not been seen ut her re-
ceptlons and balls.
The match between Miss Blaine and
MIR Beale was several times broken
Off during the past two or three years.
and Il II understood the opposition to
the marriage came from her parenta.
Mrs Mclean had set her heart upon
the union, however. and finally brought
II about.
The widow OF the late Gen. Beale
lives alone in the big Decatur house.
In Lafayette square. when her son IL
absent from Washington. and, being
an invalid, Is seldom seen except when
riding In II closed carriage. She 10
wealthy, and her son will inherit the
most OF her, fortune.

Seaside Athletic club, Coney Island,
N. Y, Jan. lS.--The fact that Jack"
Dempsey, the nonpnrell." was again
to make an EFFORT TO demonstrate that
he was stun in the pugilistic swim by
meeting Tommy Ryan OF Chicago In
the roped arena here attracted fully
$500 devotocs of the manly art 10 tho

Ryan was the first to enter the ring
HIS seconds were Joe Choyinskl OF San
Francisco. Harry Pigeon OF Chicago.

Dempsey entered the ring at 1888.
His seconds were brooklyn Jimmy
Carroll, Martin Dempsey, his brother,
and Frank Patterson.
His weight was i42 pounds and Ry-
ans las. The bout was to be fifteen
rounds, at catch weights, Dempsey
looked trlno fat. but Ryan was In
fine condition.
They simply tipped each other In the
first round, and number OF pooala
yelled: Take him on: Dempsoy's
drunk"
In tho second round Ryan kept
punching Dempsey in the stomach.
without return. and then smashed
him In the inv. Ryan played with
Dempsey and then smashed him IN the
Jaw. Ryan landed on the body. and
the crowd kept shouting; Take him
ON"
Ryan hit Dempsey on the jaw and
floored him. Dempsey got up stag
gerlng. The crowd then yelled louder
than before. take him OFF. it's
shame, take him off"
In the third round Jack got mad,
and went after his man, but Ryan
Blipped him and forced him TO the
ropes. Ryan hit Dempsey when ever
he wished In the mouth and In the
face, and In response to the frequent
yells of the spectators. the gong sounds
ed out and the fight was stopped.
The announcer said that Dempsey's
friends had requested that the light
should be stopped. and although Demp-
sey seemed to be anxious TO 10 on, the
referee gave the fight TO Ryan.
Dempsey was In no condition to fight,

Tho Great Air Whale.

The native inhabitants of the Fiji
islands believe thunder to be the bel
lowing of the great air whale, myth
ical creature which, according to their
folk lore stories, inhabits the opposite
side of all thunder clouds. If the reg
ulation thunder cloud appears unac-
companied by the ominous rumblings
peculiar to such phenomena, they take
it as token that the Great Spirit is
pleased with their past doing. If,how-
ever, on the other hand. the detona-
tions be frequent and violent, they are
sure that the God of the elements is
displeased and Immediately engage
themselves in all sorts Of ludicrous in
carnations for. the purpose Of arighting
matters. Lightning is to them the re-
suit of the air whale gnashing his teeth
together and thus striking fire. An
other pecu1iarity of this primitive peo-
pie lies in the fact that they will not
partake Of food while q thunder cloud
is in sight, fearing that the air whale
will pounce upon and devour them for
such irreverence.

An old English Chestnut Tros.

It is said that the largest chestnut
tree known in the world is at Mount
Etna, in Sicily, but one of the oldest
and most remarkable trees in Great
Britain is chestnut at Torworth, the
residence of the earl of Ducie, near
Bristol. In the reign of Stephen, who
ascended the throne in 1135, it was, ac-
cording. to the Naturalists' Journal,
deemed so remarkable for It's, size that,
as appears upon record, it was well
known as a signal boundary to the
Manor of Tortworth. It seems proba-
bic that this tree is thousand years
old at least. It is still in. very fair vig-
or, and last year produced large crop
Of nuts. It measures nearly ffty feet
in circumference; the body is short
only about ten feet in height--and it
then divides into three huge trunks,
one of which measures nearly thirty
feet in girth.

WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

A writer in the Nonconformist Of
July 4, makes a good point upon the
single silver issue advocates by show
ing that q free coinage law if
adopted would be very promptly de.
clared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court. The ground for such a
decision has been carefully prepared
by making contracts payable in gold.
There are to-day an immense amount
of these gold obligations, and the
holders Of them would have no diff
Guilty in securing a decision that
law for the free coinage Of silver and
making silver q full legal tender in
payment Of all debts equally with
gold would impair the obligations Of
contracts, and would, therefore. be
unconstitutional. And free coinage
law that did not make silver equal TO
gold in all respects would be q mere
subterfuge. The first thing nsCes-
sary to be done in this country Is TO
clip the wings Of the supreme court,
and do away altogether with the

philsnthropist went down to visit
these inhabitants Of the dumps
aud when he returned be said:
10 is not so bad place for them; ID might
be worse; there is considerable food goes
out there"
This man also attacks the Rev. DR..
Heron, who is preaching the gospel
Of the new redemption throughout
the land, and is very bitter against
his heresies. The correspondent also
states that Miss Shaw, with a full
knowledge Of the condition Of these
people at the dump, stood up before
the great audience assembled at the
Woman's congress, and said:
That California was 90 full and running
over with plenty, and everybody had such
an abundance that whom she went east they
would really believe she was q real estate
boomer; she should tSll them OIL TO come 10
California, for there is plenty for all who
wish to come.
The correspondent says that the
condition of the men at the dumps
had been written up and sworn to by
the state labor commissioner and
published in the morning papers,
and the managers OF this Woman's
congress had refused to permit q dis.
cussion of the subject from che plat
form. II is stated, however, that
Laura DeForce Gordon gave a.
twenty-minutes talk outside, IN which
she gave the crowd upon the plat
form a very lively tongue lashing,
but she was not allowed to address
the congress upon this theme. Mrs.
Simmons and others, however, are
said to have become interested, and
will try to secure work for these
"laW.sbiding citizens"
The correspondent concludes her
story by the suggestion that "when
voting time comes around, che poli-
tiCians will drive up their voting cat
tie, as they call them, and vote them
one and ALL" What a grand privi-
lege it is to be an American citizen
and a sovereign voter! And what a
grand work these aristocratic Chris
tain churches are doing for humanity,

modern methods instead of obstin-
ately adhering to old customs which
are entirely inconsistent with the
moral and Christian sentiment of
Kansas. There is absolutely no ex-
Cuse whatever for doing a thing ille-
gslly and in an un-Ohristian way
when it may just as well be done le-
gslly, especially when the latter
course would save such a world of
trouble. The thing is not at all
difficult; in fact, Che new way is
vastly superior to the old. II has
features which make il far more at
traCtive and "elevating." Under
the old way there IS q bar erected in
single room opening upon the pub
lie street, few mirrors and lasclVi-
ours pictures are fastened upon the
walls behind it, and the thirsty way
farer is obliged to stand up
before that bar and be served with
refreshments in the broad light of
day or in the,bright glare of the gas
light. This plan has its disadvan-
tsges. It is very embarrassing some
times, especially if there is no screen
to cut off the curious gaze from the
street. Doubtless there are those
who would suffer great thirst rather
than go into such place, With the
Kansas plsn-the legal plan, of
course-this Is different. Instead of
a single room opening upon busy
thoroughfare, a whole house is pro-
vided in a quiet quarter Of the city;
the more magnificent the house the
better, and the more nearly it will
come up to the standard of legal re-
quirement. To be strictly legal 1t
must be quite elegant and highly re-
spectacle. Instead of arranging the
liquors in colorsd decanters behind
a bar, they are kept in ice cold lock-
erq. Instead of standing up before
bar in plain view Of the street, one
may recline in an upholstered chair,
or upon dainty tete.a-tete, in a
quiet and secluded room decorated
in the highest style Of art, and re.
fresh himself without fear OF dlscov-
cry or interruption. He must be
msliciously blind who fails to see
the many advantages of this plan
aside from the one great advantage
that 1t is strictly legal. Hasn't the
court said it is legals To be sure il
has, and it was a highly respectable
court, too. The case was of such un-
usual Importance that three judges
were summoned to sit upon it. What
could be more reputable? Besides
what better guarantee OF respeCts-
bility could be asked for such a place
of refreshments It is 80 emlnently
respectable indeed that good prohi- /
bitionists, ministers and deacons of
churches go there; the great prohi-
bition organ" of Kansas Vouches for
it's responsibility and talks about the
gentlemen of standing" who consti-
tute it's patrons. Is snythinp more
