WHAT Mr.. BLA|NE'S
REAL AMBITION WAS
Had Ambition to Be Secretary of State
Rather Than President.

NEW YORK, March 25.-One of the
unexpected things about Mrs. BIaine's
Letters is the revelation, made quite
casually in the course of the cores
pondence, that Mr.. Blaine's real ambi-
tlon was not for the presidency. AS
a matter of fact, he ran for the presi-
dency only once, and in the opinion
of good many historians, was &C.
tually elected in 1884. Senator Hoar.
IN his Autobiography" says no Sc
rlous student now denies that Mr..
Blaine was prevented from election
by fraudulent counts in the Long Is
land City districts of New York state.
In any case, Mr.. Blaine according to
the sidelights thrown upon his char
acter by his wife's Letters" had set
his own thoughts upon the portfolio of
state rather than the position of chief
executive. Mrs. Blaine remarks that
as they were driving one day past the
state department building. after Pres
ident Garfields assassination, and her
husbands retirement, Mr.. Blaine said:
Here | expected to raise my Ebenezer
for eight years at least" Again dur
ing a dinner party given by Andrew |
Carnegie at his castle in Scotland,
Mrs. Blaine says, writing to one of her |
daughters: Last night your father |
delivered himself of one of the most |
brilliant sketches of what he had in
tended to do in the eight (sic) years
OF Garfield's presidency, and the
state department, that I have ever lis
tened to even from him." That Mr..
Blaine was a great secretary of state
has lately been conceded by another
holder of the portfolio. |

MAKES WORK EASIER

If you have Indigestion your food
ferments in the stomach and bowels.
1t does more; it decays, and the nutri-
tious matter which should go to make
new blood decays with it, and this
leadss to an impoverished condition
of the blood, to nervousness, bilious
ness, constipation, sick headache, bad
breath, which digests your foodtwple
breath which disgusts your friends,
and other disagreeable and unpleasant
conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by Ne
food that doesn't digest, but ferments
and oftimes rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix
the food with the digestive juices.
MONA is responsible for tens of
thousands of cures. In fact, it is such
a positive cure for indigestion and all
stomach troubles that it is guaranteed
by Hays & Field to cure or money
back. The price of a large box of Mi
o-na tablets is so cents. and they are
sure to promptly relieve the worst case
OF indigestion or gastritis. Try them.

DEDICATE
BRAN NEW
HOSPITAL

| PITTSBURG, Pa, March 25.-The
Oliver Memorial Annex to the South
side Hospital was dedicated today with
imposing ceremonies. 1t is one of the
handsomest and roomiest hospital
buildings In Greater Pittsburg and is
an ornament to the Southside. 1t is
a six-story structure of modern design,
in which advantage has been taken of
every inch of space offered by the size
of the lot on which it has been built.
The capacity OF the new wing is $50
patients, What this means to the
Southside hospital can be plainly seen
in the fact that this just four times
the capacity of the present hospital, |
and when 1t is ready for occupancy the |
hospital will be able to care for five
lines as many patients as at present
The building is fitted up with all the
atest hospital improvements.

Ladies' Home association of Mississip-

of the association will be held in Jack

joint STOCK BANKS

NEW YORK, March 25.-It was
that the $1,500,000 bar gold shipped
learned from authoritative sources
from New York to London last week
was not consigned, as had been gen.
orally supposed, to the Bank of Eng
land, but to joint stock bank,
Th1s is described as the first trans
action of its kind, as heretofore the
bank of England has always been the
recipient of shipments from this CEN
Ter. The incident arises from the agi-
tatlon that has been CARED on in

KILLED WHILE
LEADING SORIIR
American Named Baskerville
at Tabriz
Before Joining Revolution He Was
Teacher nj the Presbyterian
Mission.
ON A FoRAGING EXPEDITION

Tabriz, Persia, April 21.-An
American named Baskerville, who
until recently was a teacher in the
Presbyterian school here, was killed
outslde Tabriz while leading a sortie
of Nationahsts from the city. The
Iobject of the expedition was TO open
a way for the bringing In of pro-
visions OF which the city stands great
| ly in need. It was not successful.
The situation here is desperate. The
christians of Tabrlz are arming them
selves and viii put up a strong de-
Tense during the bloody disorders
that are expected to break out any
day.
The English residents have sent
Telegram TO Foreign Secretary Gray
at London appealing for immediate
help. The Russians have taken re-
fuge at the Russian consulate.
The activity OF Baskerville in as
sisting the Persian revolutionists
against the government became
known early this month. Possible
complications were avoided by the
prompt dlsavowal by the Presbyterian
mission at Tabriz of all of Basker-
Iville's acts. The mission gave orders
also that he either refrain from in
Iterfering in Persian politics or resign
Ibis position.

Walter Johnson will pitch for

opening game with the New
York Americans. Washington
fans have, at this early date,
placed their team at the head OF
the American league percentage
column, with 1000 on the night
of April II.
The enthusiasts of the capital
city base their confidence on the
remarkable pitching record made
last season by Johnson against
the Highlanders, when on three
successive days he shut them out
without anything that looked
like a tally. The peculiar fea-
ture about Johnson's record
was that he seemed to become
more effective with each game
The first day he BANKED the
Highlanders by 3 to 0, follow
ing this up with a 6 to victory
and then came back strong with
4 to 0 win.-Weiser American,

slight accident Tuesday evening
near the mile post 20 and as a
result a portion of the train

the heavy weight of the train
caused the rails to spread. No
damage was done to the pro-
perty and there was no casu-
alities. Passengers, mail and
baggage were transferred to a

Weiser. The derailed train ar
rived early yesterday morning.
