Death Of ssGaiI Hamilton.
Brief Sketch of the Life of a
Brilliant Literary Woman

WASHINGTON, Aug 1S Miss Mary
Abigail Dodge, who is best remember
ed by her nom &c plume Of Gail Hami'-
ton" was essentially New Highlander
by instinct and association as we'll as
by birth. She was one of a coterie of
brilliant Massachusetts literary women
who left their impression upon the
century 10 which they lived. A gen.
orally accepted impression that "Gail
Hamilton" was a blood relative of the
late James G. Blaioe is erroneous.
She was cousin of Mrs. Blaine's.
But for many years she was an intimate
associate Of the Blaine household and
often assisted the great Maine leader 10
his literary work and in return some
times received aid from him. For some
time previous to her long illness 10
1895, Miss Dodge was engaged in ar
ranging the papers of the deceased
statesman With view of publishing
biography which would do him justice
Shortly after Mr. Blainc's death she
sent to the Washington Office of the
United Associated Presses a statement
written 10 her o~p strong, clear cut.
masculine baod, declaring that she
alone had the right to publish an au-
thorized biography Of James G. BlaiDe
and warning all others from assuming
to undertake that task. 10 the biogra-
phies of Miss Dodge furnished TO the
encyclopedias, III is stated that she was
born in Hamilton, Mass, "about $780,
