THE BLAINE FAMILY.
Death of Mrs. Blaine Recalls TraRe-

II has been the lot OF the Blaine family
to have suffered more tragedies of more
different sorts than almost any in America.

OF the most forceful figures in our national
life. He reached distinction early and
maintained Ii long. but always with more or
less disappointment. During his life he

children die and two in domestic misfor-
tune, and. above all. was obliged to en-
cure criticism upon his wife, to whom he

meet In way 10 disarm mis- foes.
Against his political enemies he could
furl shafts that were keen, though often
tntudicious. and to them he could also be
generous as became a man of large mind
Eut the shafts against his wife were the
bitterest OF all. and these were perhaps In
the end the most fatal TO his political pros
poets. Mr.. Blaine explained in a way that
no honest man could impugn the secret
marriage 20 his wife I'm Kentucky in the
presence OF witnesses. He neglected 10 get
q license as provided by statute. and on
discovering this he was compelled TO have

use 10 most painful charges IN after years
Mrs. Blaine was brilliant woman, but de-
void OF tact Her ambitions for her hus-
band were boundless. but I'm some way she
managed To antagonize social leaders in
Washington, and these women made their
husbe nds antagonistic where they could. IL
