proceeding and followed as a matter
of course. The members of the
committee all have the same powers
and must sustain each other to be
in a position to exercise thatpower
That Mr.. Dunlap was endorsed by
only enc vote and that vote his
own was due to the charge that
the new men named were selected
for factional purposes, which forced
the friends of one of the candidates
for Governor TO vote against the
new men in self defense. A great

BOUTELLE INSANE.
Names Ex-Congressman Now An In
Mate of a Massachusetts Asylum.

Boston. Dec. 28.-Congressman c. A
Boutelle. the friend of Blaine, is in
the Mclean insane asylum at Waiver
ly, Mass. His once splendid intellect
is shattered and it is believed the end
is not far off. The congressman is
suffering from Bright's disease in its
last stages. At times his condition
borders on delirium. An attempt was
made to place Boutelle in a private
sanitarium, but admission was refus-
ed him because of the violent paroxy-
SINS attending his disease. Finally he
was taken to the asylum at Waverly.
The officials there refuse today to give
any information as to the congress-
mans condition. There was a rumor
here at noon that Boutelle was dead,
but the story was denied by his brother
who said the condition of the patient
today was more encouraging.

Mr.. Howells has lately spoken Of
Rudyard Kipling as the most famous
mar in the world today. 1t would, in
deed, be difficult to suggest a man
whose name is more widely known.
The following story is a curious COM
mentary on the value OF fame: Dur
ing Kip1ing's illness, Henry James, the
American author, was one night driv-
ing home in a cab from his club In
London. The news had just come that
the crisis was past and the great writer
was on the road to recovery. AS he
stepped out on the sidewalk, Mr.. James
handed the paper he had bought to the
cabman. "Kipling's all right" he said.
The cabman took the paper and leaned
down with a puzzled look on his face.
Il don't seem to know the name O. the
'oss!' he said.-St. Louis Republic.
