JOHN B. BLAIR DEAD.
The Famous Painter Passed Away
in Chicago Wednesday.

Chicago. Jan. 3.-John b. Blair, who
vas born In 1900, and who was at one
time famous n wealthy, died Wednes-
day at the home for incurables. Blair
was famous as a painter a half century
ago. His skill is attested by the fact
that his portrait of President Taylor
was hung in the white house gallery.
He was the first painter of war panor-
amas, n was eminently successful In
that branch of art. He was the first to
paint any great panorama IN ms coun-
try. 1t was pictures Of birds of all the
world, and TO accomplish this work he
encircled the globe twice. He was the
inventor of the silk bag gas balloon,
such as the aeronauts OF today employ.
Fifty years ago he invented a bicycle,
made on the same line as the safety BIZ
cycles Of today. He added $500, 900 TO the
wealth of a we'll known pencil manufac-
turer by inventing a rubber tip for PEN
ellis. He painted landscapes of foreign
countries and pictures Of sheep in al.
most endless numbers, and his auction
sales of these were annual events in art
circles a quarter of a century ago. Five
years ago he was stricken with paral-
ysis. and three years later became blind
and also lost his mind. He was then
placed In the home for incurables.

duction OF Last Year.
Washington, Jan. 3.-Accordng 10 tn
information furnished by the Russian
sugar manufacturers on November .
last and transmitted 10 the state depart
ment by United States Consul Genera
Karel at ST. Petersburg. the area OF
land in Russia under beet cultivation IN
1895 amounted TO SAC, $40 acres, Or -. So.
acres more han In 1894. The quantity
OF sugar Is estimated at 7l7,55S tons.
which would be an increase of lis. go.
tons over last years crop. The consul
general. however. points out hat these
estimates are founded on the most IA,
vorable conditions. which may not be
realized. The prices Of sugar have riser
abroad. causing an increased demand
for Russian sugar. The United States
sugar trust is said to have taken 100.
600. 600 bags from Hamburg, consider.
ably decreasing the stock there. and
other elements Of the increase are the
intention of Germany to raise the boun.
~ n increase expectation. and the ex.
listing raw weather. which impedes the
manufacture OF sugar. The purchases

en- as an indication that their stock &C.
cumulated before the passage Of the
Wilson bill has been exhausted and o
further cause for inci sased prices is the
doubt existing al to whether Cuba can
be relied upon to export any uga this

THE TllDEN SALE.
Everything Went for Its Intrinsic
Value Rather Than Association.

New York Evening Post.
Samuel j. Tilden's house in Gramercy
park a packed at the sale of the
household fuSniture, which went at ex-
tremely low prices.
One or two of the purchases had some
general interest. william M. Chase, the
artist, bought for $25 the old fashioned
Collender billiard table, but he did not
get the four ivory balls, which went at
81. The first thing sold was a wicker
rocker. which went for $3.50 to Robert
Fuller. Some Of the furniture, especi-
ally some of that which had been
brought In from Greystone, was made In
a special manne to suit the owners
peculiar needs, as for instance, a high
back wicker rocker with one arm lower
than the other, and weighted in front.
Such peculiarities had no effect in in
creasing the price. The four small iron
dumbbells with which the sage took his
morning exercise brought 80 cents One
of the Shaker rockers was bought by the
old assistant secretary Of the governor,
John Kale, for S.. An electric battery
Of peculiar old fashion brought 1925.
Mr.. Tilden's four alpenstocks were sold
for 81.
The au~ctioneer did not know the cost
price Of the articles; otherwise they
| might have sold for higher prices, as all
were expensive. A parlor suit of plush
In five pieces in good general preserva-
ton brought SIS. though the feathers in
the sofa alone cost the owner $50. A
few items Of the sale may give some idea
of the small returns. An ebony and gilt
parlor suit in plush and tapestry, seven
pieces, went for $67. so: an ebony and gilt
bookcase for $39. Another ebony cabi-
net. deliberately carved and finished in
gilt, brought 500; a beautiful chess table
s19, a pair Of brass fire tenders S., fire
dogs $34.

Baltimore, Jan. 4.-There has been a

however, Is authority for the statement
hat the two cardinals will have equal
authority and will act together In all
matters, thereby avoiding n possible
conflict. After today Mgr. Satolli will
cease to bear his present title OF papal
