JIMMY's SECOND VENTURE.
aumors That James G. Blaine Will Mar
~ Again.

New York, March 1.-THE Herald says:
1t was reported yesterday that Mr.. James
G. Blaine, the son of the late James g..
Blaine, was engaged to be married to
Miss Kuhne Beverage, 5who has achieved
some reputation as sculptor, and who is
now in Paris with her mother. Rumor
had it that the wedding would take
place upon Miss Beveridge's return to
this country next month.
Mr.. Blaine is employed as a reporter on
one of the morning newspapers of this
CITY, When seen last evening by u
Herald reporter. Che excused himself from
discussing the report of his engagement
Several of Mr.. Blaine's friends, however,
are inclined to believe that the rumored
enga cement is true. Miss Beveridge and
Mr. Blaine have frequently been seen
together in public. and he is at present
occupying her former studio in small
building at No. J21 East 18th street.
MIR. Blaine was married in September,
1885, to Miss Marie Nevins, who was at
that time an actress in Mne Modjeska's
company. Mrs. Blaine was granted q
divorce by Judge Thomas of Deauwood,
S. D., in 1889, and awarded the custody
of their son. She afterwards married Dr.
W. T. Bull of this city.
Miss Kuhns Beveridge is a daughter Of
Philo J. Beveridge and granddaughter
of former Governor Beveridge of Illinois
She first became known to the public as
a sculptor when, in 1892 she modelled the
busts of former President Cleveland and
of Joseph Jefferson, the actor For
time she was on the stage in Miss Rose
Cophlan ssscompany. Her marriage on
October %, 1898, at midnight, in Indian
apolis, to Mr. Charles Coghlan. who was
also member Of his sisters company,
caused a great sensation owing to the
fact that Mr.. Coghlan had generally been
supposed to have another wife living. A
year later Miss Beveridge secured a di-
vorce from the actor and resumed her
maiden name. she has not since appeared
on the stage.
Mr.. Blaine, whose youthful escapades
frequently brought him into public no.
tice, is said by his friends to have finished
the exciting game "sowing his wild
OATS and is regarded by his associates
as an industrious and capable writer.

delicate organism of her sex, to rely upon
an unskilled, inexperienced, general prac-
titioner is to risk her health upon gam
bleT's hazard. Her only real safety Is IN
the careful well -digested advice of physi-
clan who has had wide, special experience
in diseases of this particular class
The chief consulting physician of the ia
nous Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. R. v. Pierce, has de-
voted thirty years of special study and prac-
tice to the weaknesses and diseases pecul-
lar to women. His grand medicine, the
"Favorite Prescription, has done more to
restore perfect health and strength to WON
en- than any other medicine. 1t is the only
proprietary medicine devised for this pur
pose by an educated, skilled specialist in
wonan's peculiar ailments.
A woman writing to DR.. Pierce regarding
herself may feel absolute assurance of re-
ceiving, free of charge, the best profess
sional advice by means of which the most
obstinate of these delicate troubles may be
promptly relieved and permanently cured
Barbra A. Mudd, of Indian Greek, Monroe Co.,
Mo-, writes: 81 am very thankful for what Or.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription did tor me was
all broke DOWN from nervous prostration, but
since TALKING this rnedicine have had more re-
lief than FEM ali the doctors. Your Favorite
Prescription did me a world of gooe."

business is not always possible. Hereto

A Belfast Journal reporter accompanied
DR.. W. L. West, inspector OF milk, on an
official visit to number of milk farms
in Belfast recently The stables were
found to be warm, well lighted and ven
tillated, and the animals apparently in
fine condition. The milk ..rooms were
neat=and well kspt, and from appearances
one would Judge that the utmost care is
exercised in the care of the cans, jars and
other utensils The milkmen generally
report an increasing use of the glass jars,
sealed up on the farm, instead Of the old
method of measuring out the milk from
large cans at the houses OF the customers
Even if the greatest care is exercised In
the handling of the milk in cans and the
cleanliness OF all the vessels, there Is
more or less dust flying on the streets
and the frequent opening of the cans
must cause the milk to take in some Of
it, The hOrnless cattle are coming into
favor with many and some young stock
has been dehorned. Some of the farmers
intend to have portion of their COWS
and heifers dehorned the coming season,
and there are number of animals OF the
Galloway. Angus and other hOrnless
breeds in the herds Two Galloway bulls
are owned on milk farms, nd others
will be bought soon. The hornless COW
has doubtless come to stay, and soon an
animal with horns win be as great curl
osity as one without those anpendages
was decade ago.

1t is no doubt the fact that the drift OF
opinion is that the Board of Inquiry will
report that the Maine was blown up by
an outside explosion, but what that
opinion is founded on it is not easy to
say. Certainly no facts are yet in posses
sion of the public which sustain it. Prob
ably it is largely an inference from the
war preparations and from the fact that
naval officers who are supposed to have
had some communication with the Board
of Inquiry or the witnesses who testified
before it are firm in their belief that the
force which destroyed the vessel came
from the outside.

The corresponding are busy guessing
as to what the expected contingency is in
view of which Congress has just
made the S5O,oOo,oOo appropriation.
One guesses that the President
urged the appropriation in view of
the disclosures that will be made in the
forthcoming report on the Maine disas-
ter; another is quite certain that he is.to
intervene IN Cuba within the next thirty
days; while a third is just as sure that
the contingency is an expected attack
3on the Americans by the Spaniards sof
Havana. Each one of these theories, it
may be said, has certain amount of
probability in it and certain amount of
improbability also. All that is really

Judge Townsend of the United States
court at New Haven decides that the
Dingley law did not go into effect until
1t 'wasssignedsby the. President. This was
also the decision of the Board Of Apprais
ers. The treasury has held that the bill
went into effect at the beginning of the
day on which it was passed, and has col.
lected duties in accordance with that
view. The decision of the Board of Ap.
praisers and Judge Townsend seems to be
more in accord with the general rule in
such cases than the treasury's. II the
treasury is finally overruled by the courts
upon importations on the day on which
the law went into effect.

The Ellsworth bill for suppressing the
newspapers which is now before the New
YorkAssembly is undoubtedly pernicious
measure. and the chief sponsors of 1t are
interested in passing it more for their own
good than that of the public. IL is i'm
possible to believe that man of Croker's
character Is very anxious about the con-
dision of public morals, and the only CON-
olusion that one who is familiar
with his career can come to, is
shat he is really seeking to &C.
complish certain ends of his own by
means of shis measure. 1t can be said,
however, with perfect truth that the news
papers themselves, or rather certain of
item, have created the state of public
feeling which makes it possible to get
such measure seriously considered.
Their reckless invasion of private life,
their wanton ISLANDERS of public men, and
their constant pandering to what is low
and vicious have so inoensed decent people
that considerable part of them look
With equanimity, If not with actual ap-
prevail, on such measure as the Els
worth bill. The measure will probably
fail in this. legislature but it is certainly
safe to predict that if some of thu New
York journals do not mend their ways
some legislature in the near future will
pass this orlsome other equally drastic
measure

Both England and Russia are making
huge appropriations for war ships and war
material, which is of itself proof enough
that tho situation In the East lis looked
on by both of them rs serious. England
claims that her interest in China is pure
" commercial, that all that she wants is
equal commercial rights with other
nations and that she has no desire or in
tention of occupying Chinese territory.
Russia is said to have offered England
freedom of trade in the ports she has
seized, or is supposed to be about tosseize,
under her supervision, reservation
which naturally enough exoites Eng
lands suspicion and which she is not in
