SO many Other very successful men, his
early life was passed on q farm and he at
tended the "deestrict" schccl when he YVES
not needed for farm work. Later he was
sent to one of the best Connecticut acad-
emies and studied SO hard that his health
broke down and he vas compelled TO leave
school and devote himself to some outdoor
pursuit. 1t Was ut this time that he Joined
the surveying corps as q humble rodman,
and the experience was so pleasant that he
became a skilled engineer.
After serving & number of years as as
sistant engineer Of tho Stockbridge and
Pitts1ieId and the Vermont Valley railroads
he turned his eyes westward in 1851 and
took charge of the construction of q sec
ton Of the Illinois Central road. His head
quarters were in La Sale, the citizens of
which promptly honored him by electing
him mayor, the only political office he has
ever held. In 1856 he was appointed chief
engineer Of the Joliet and Chicago road,
out of which the Chicago and Alton grew
eventually. Ho was elected president Of
the read in 1861, and three years later,
when the road became part of the Alton
system, he was made president of the new
company. At that time the road possess
ed $50 miles of track. Today it has over
1000 miles.
Mr.. Blackstone soon demonstrated that
he was a very wide awake and progressive
railroad magnate. The first Pullman
sleeper ever constructed was made from an
Alton coach, and the Alton was the first
road to run dining cars. The road has
been so well managed that it always pays
its s per cent dividend, and its bonded in
6ebtcdness Is teadilv reduced. Mr.. Black
stone owns d. controlling interest in the
stock, and although he has received many
fettering offers he has always refused to
sell except under the condition that the
purchasers guarantee to deal with the hold
ers of single shares IS ~liborallyas they deal
with him. Every share or none is his
motto, and the road has thus been kept
free from the Vaccinations of wreckers.

MRS. HENRY E. PERRlNE.
She Is Distinguished as the First Mother
in-IaW Of the Land.


ia-Iaw Of the Land.
Since the marriage of tho widow of Os-
car Folsom to Henry E.. Perrine of Buffalo
in 1880 the public has heard very little
concerning President Cleveland's mother
in-law. She has attracted considerable at
tention OF late, however, owing to her in
terest in the settlement Of q long Irrigated
Nebraska estate that was acquired by Ben
jamin r. Folsom, q brother Of Mrs. Cleve-
lands grandfather, one Of the original
founders Of Omaha and in 1855 u member
of the lrst Nebraska legislature. Certain
uncc,nplineDtarY i~nsinuations have been
made concerning Benjamin R. Folsom,
and as Mrs. Cleveland is n of his heirs
it is said Mrs. Perrine went to Omaha re-
Gently to sift The matter to the bottom and
clear the Folsom name of the charges.
Mrs. Perrine was Mrs. Oscar Folsom
when her daughter, Miss Frances Folsom,
became Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Her hus-
band was Mr.. Cleveland's law partner and
was killed in a runaway accident in 1872.
For some time before her second marriage
she resided with her daughter in Washing
ton and was very popular in the society of
the capital. Although well along in years,
she is still q handsome woman, with a
dignity and grace that make her a con-

In the spring women need Paine's eel
cry compound.
The average American Woman, says a
well known writer, wears herseIf out
twenty years before her time. Sh be-
gins the -wearing-out process as a hiid
staying up at night until the whole fami-
ly retires and keeps it up as a growing
girl, staying awake until ten or eleven
O'Clock, when she should be asleep by
nine; and as a woman she has so many
things to do and to keep up with hat she
positively hasn't a minute to rest.
By and by her cheeks grow thin and
haggard; languor takes the place of
her old-time high spirits. she has a gen
era1 WORKOUT air; her nerves are
gnawed by pain, and sieeplessness makes
fearful inroads upon her health.
Her physician tells her simply that her
nervous system is exhausted, and h a
help must come by feeding the brain and
entire nervous tract, richly, rapidly, and
completely. Il is the experience of the
most careful medical men in this country
that nothing proves SO uniformly success
full as Paine's celery compound in cases
of brainweariness. nervous inability,
failure of vital force, dyspepsia, sleep
l~essness. and for restoring health and vi
gor TO the brain and body when exhausted
by overwork or dissipation.
Every sue weary, nervou thin-blood-
ed person should take Paine's celery COM
pound. 1t makes such people well.
Paine's celery compound improves the
general health by making new, rudy
blood and refreshing the nerves.
1t teammates the languid body, and Wit
allies the important organs so that they
work in harmony with each other.
The accomplished editor of the Oak
land, ILL.,, Ledger, a portrait of whose
wife is given above. says in his own paper

tropes. Some of these latter are of the
brightest and most glarings shades, just
such as would delight the heart of the
Italian women for their Sunday gowns.
Heliotropo, which is but another namc
for purple, is very often employed as a
combination for other colors. For instance,
q stone gray tricctin gedet skirt had two
fan shaped panels let in, one on each side
of the front breadth ard reaching to within
ten inches of the waist line, where it mar
rowed TO = point and ended under q pulled
rosette of the same. The purple insets
were of arraure silk. The waist was made
seamless, the elastic quality of tricotin
lending itself EASILY to tire stretching made
necessary for such an effect. Only fine
figures look weIwitll such q styleof waist.
At the arm size the ar1nurc was sewed in
and drawn down 60 Q point in front, which
ended under q resette. This same material
was Laid il fields which, ended under ro-
settles and spread oit. quito wide on the
shoulders. The cuffs wero also trimmed
with pointed euE5 Of the same Without
this combinatioo OF applied trimming the
gown would be too severely plain.
A lar moe plea sing design for q spring
toilet is % gown OF 3anlas wool in three
shades OF light biscuitap inc tan in the jacq-
ugrd weave. The skirt was a plain full
godet, with side pieces down the front
breadths OF rsseda velvet. Along the front
edges were 3et 1os7s Of ilat gilt buttons an
Inch in diameter. Tho corsaEs was q short
basque tailor stitched, with lapels and flat
collar. The whcls opened over a low re-
soda vest, with gilt buttons a size smaller
than those on tic skirt. Above this was
a white linen chemIsette. with its round
collar and = cherry sat.n tic. The sleeves
were pulled at the tsp and had reseda vel
vet fore parts, with q row Of still smaller
buttons up the whole length. This gown
was highly pleasing to an artistic eye and
was refined, yot very stylish and dressy.
The paquin skirt isSalinost as popular
as the godet and certainly looks well, be-
sides being far easier to manage in the
making and hanging. a good pattern,
with reasonably accurate sowing and lin
Ing, makes it all that eould be desired. All
1t needs at the belt is TO be very slightly
gathered, and it is bound to hang right.
The godet and organ pipe folds are very
difficult, and so are the capuchins. No
trimming is required on the skirts, though
some may be added If desired. So many
ladies now are having their skirts made
without any reference, to- any kind of waist
that u small variety is obtained by having
sne skirt of each Of the three styles.
