Yoiibe Blaine’s Early Efforts as a
1 Newspaper Reporter.
from the Chicago Timet.
•■The newspaper battle now being waged
James O. Blaine and his eon’s ex
jud ex-mother-in-law over the divorce
r-c ctly granted to Mrs. Janies G. Blaine.
. recalls some incidents of the young
an’j newspaper career in Pittsburg." said
g Vrniar resident of that city yesterday.
••Was young Blaine a brilliant success as
-newspaper man ?’
• Well, hardly that; but he furnished a
ideal of amusement for the boys on
neper. He worked on the Pittsburg
Times, which Is Chris Magee’s paper.
Jlßfcee and the elder Blaine were great per
fpoa! and political friends at the time, which
was in 1385 or 1886. Young Jim was living
In Pittsburg with his wife and her people,
jjje Nevins family. His father was stump
ing in the principal cities of the state for
gov. Beaver’s campaign. When the old
gentleman came to Pittsburg he made ar
rangements with Magee to put his son on
the Times as a local reporter, with the pur
pose of making a practical newspaper man
of him. ‘Jamie’s’advent into •joornalism’
was the topic of the newspaper circles and
was telegraphed over the country.
••His debut was looked for with anxiety by
the other local were a iittle bit
envious of Magee’s latest attraction. All
the city editors gave general orders for their
reporters to shadow Blaine and run him to
N ver if they detected him chasing a piece
■ 0 f news, so that they oould get a story out of
Jamie's maiden effort. But Jamie would not
have recognized a legitimate news item if it
tad climbed on his coat collar and blown a
dinner horn in his ear, so none of the re
ntiers were soooped on that assignment.
The city editor of the Times was very foxy,
and decided to tend Jim to a big charity fair
to do hi 9 first work, telling him to look the
show over and write it up descriptively, but
not to take any notes and to appear as it he
was there simply as a spectator, so that the
other reporters would not get on to him.
blame followed instructions and wrote a
quarter of a column about the fair,
which appeared in the morn
ing paper. The evening papers
of the same day bad the item printed In
full, with comments by the funny men.
Blaine had an obscure paragraph in his
story about an antelope which was being
voted to the most popular young lady at
the fair. He got the antelope confused
with the society belle who was receiving the
most votes, and made it appear that the
young lady was being raffled off instead of
the animal. At least that was the way the
funny men on the rival papers figured it
out.’’
Did that discourage Blaine ?'
"O, no; that fired him up a little, and he
rather liked the attention he was receiving
from the great dailies. He then started out
to make a general skirmish about the city,
and see how many columns of news and
special articles he could dig up m a day.
His digging failed to develop much of a pay
streak, and the city editor decided to put
him on the hotel route. The city editor
reasoned profoundly that Jim would meet
many prominent public men at the hotels
and that the publio men would be delighted
with the sensation of being interviewed by
the son of ‘America’s greatest statesman.’
The men of fame failed to appear as per
schedule, and after three days of toil, which
produced nothing but three-liue personals
about men from the oil regions and coal
fields. Blame dragged himself wearily up the
stairs to the office of his city editor, whose
name was Gramer, and delivered himself of
the following lamentation:
" ‘Gramer, I don’t believe any prominent
men ever came to this bloomin’ old town
and by Jove I don’t blame ’em. I’m dead
sore on the place myself.’
"The city editor smiled and said: ‘All
right, .1 irnmie; I’ll give you something else to
do. We’re going to make a newspaper man
out of you if it taxes all winter and uses up
all the routes in town. How would you like
to go up to the court house to morrow and
report Col. Moore’s great speech in the poi
soning case?’
"That night Jimmie’s new wife took him
to a big ball at the Pittsburg Club. They
were the social lioness and lion of the sea
son, it being their first winter in Pittsburg.
They stayed at the ball until late, and the
next day Jimmie was more drowsy than
usual. He dragged himsel to the court
house to take Moore’s big speech. Tho
colonel was one of the crack criminal law
yers of the Pittsburg bar, and he was mak
ing the effort of his life, defending a
prominent woman who was on trial
charged with poisoning her grandson
for the purpose of getting his in
heritage. It was a desperate case to de
fend, and Moore fairly raised the roof in
his closing argument, which Blaine was to
report. But the preliminaries to the speech
made Jimmie tired and he fell asleep in his
chair. The other reporters were too busy
to wake him, and he slept peacefully on
through the storm of oloquence and showers
of tears which the lawyers produced. His
paper would have been entirely scooped on
the speech had not the local news buroau
helped it out.’’
"What did he try next?”
"I don’t remember exactly, but think his
v ito took him in hand and tried to teach
him to write magazine articles. She was
■i mposed to be literary as well as dramatic.
Bhe persuadod Magee or the managing
editor or somebody on his guard to let her
write some special letter for the literary
page of the paper. This was strongly
against the wish of the editor in chief, but
it went. She wrote her copy on tinted note
paper, in the latest Yossar scrawl. I forget
what it was all about, but 1 remember that
she used a poetlo pen name. The editing of
her copy was assigned to the assistant city
editor, Charley Bowmen, wno was nothing
if not cynical. Bowman had orders to lot
her articles go through at first without cut
ting, and Mrs. Blaine called upon him daily
to warn him against mutilating her produc
tions, which she assurod him were literary
(etns.
"‘Now. you won’t leave any of it out,
**h you, Mr. Bowman?’ she would plead.
" ‘No, indeed, I won’t,’ the obliging blue
pencil wielder would reply, ’it’s red-hot
•tuff, Mrs. Blaine and we want all of it you
•an give us.’
"Then when she was gone Bowman would
Me profane language and say he wished all
•utnen writers were sure enough angels.
One day after he had stood the literary
ferns for about a week he cut the middle
out of her composition, pasted the ends to
fetber and sent them in. Noxt day Mrs.
Blaine was in a rage.
“Why did you murder my best article
®at way?’ she demanded of Bowman, hold
p the paper in her hand and almost cry
“B with disappointment.
"Bowman looked innocent and said:
''ell, you see, Mrs. Blaine, a big rush of

“ 'Then why in the name of all common

'“Oh, I couldn’t think of leaving your ar
'cle out altogether, even for a day. They
•re too good for that, and then the rnana
"r of the paper insists upou having some of
writing in every issue.’
This pacified her and she went away
wrote more than ever. She bad a con
t with Bowman almost daily after that,
“ 1 " liked war anyhow, and persisted
• cutting her copy. He blamed the cou

futed with the paper, from Magee and the

long, and we are getting a little alarmed.

up at once, and of course if anything seri
ous has happened to him we will hear of it

"Mrs. Blaine would frantically ring off in
the midst of Bowman’s yarn and come
rushing downtown to find Jamie. He would
usually be about the building somewhere.
She soon acquired a deep distrust of Bow
man and quit using the telephone except
when she knew Jamie was in the office.
"Jimmie was a great admirer of Andy
Fulton, a big. jolly man, who was mayor
of Pittsburg then. Andy liked the boy, but
would have some jokes at his expense. Jim
mie was tall and slim then and had a phe
nomenally long nose, even longer than his
father's much-caricatured nose. Jimmie
also had a famous lo:>g ulster that reached
to his heels, fit him like a gossomer, and had
checks loud enough to. break a German
Sabbath.
“One day he was in the mayor’s office
visiting with Fulton and a select company
of city officials. The mayor looked at him
earnstiy a minute and said:
“ ‘Say, Jimmie, my boy, if you don’t do
as I tell you, and quit running to balls and
parties every night. I’ll have to send word
to your father about you. Tbere’il soon be
nothing left of you but your nose and over

RICHES OF HINDOO PRINCES.
Even the Hilts of the Swords They
Carry Are Worth a Fortune.
Sir Edwin Arnold in Chicago Tribune.
W hat would gratify most, no doubt, such
American ladies as may honor me by read
ing these sketchy recollections, amid all
those picturesque surroundings of eastern
royal life, would be, I think, the various
Tosba'khanas or treasure chambers of the
Indian courts.
Some of the finest gems in the world are
still to be seen in these Tosha’khanos of the
peninsula, where they are greatly prized
and oarefully guarded. Mauy of the best
pearls from Ormuz or Ceylon, of the
choicest pigeon blood rubies from Burmah;
emeralds of extraordinary size carved with
long inscriptions in Persian. Arabic and
Sanskrit, with delicate and costly enamels
after the style of the master art of Jeypore.
were stored in that royal collection which I
inspected at Baroda of Guzarat. There
were swords there whose hilts alone were
worth a large estate, so richly were
they crusted with costly stoi es, and the
blades of gome among them were of such
fine and perfectly tempered steel as to be
occasionally more valuable than the
handles. Certain among the choicest blades
had slots cut in the damasked steel up and
down which rau costly pearls or rubies cut
to a round head, and some of tbein were
thrust into spiral scabbards, so faultless
were their spring and elasticity. The old
Mahratta custodian would suddenly open
some old marmalade jar or sardine box
taken from the great barred vault and turn
out of this unlikely receptacle, rolled in an
ancient red or green rug, such a belt of
sapphires and diamonds, such a diadem of
Oriental rubies, such a bracelet or anklet or
ring for the nose or finger must have made
the eyes of any lady who had a proper and
becoming passion for beautiful things
sparxie like the jewels themselves.
On high publio occasions these princes
and magnates of India vio with each other
in the dazzling and gorgeous display of
gems with which they repair on their ele
phants to durbars or receptions. The
native classical name for such lovely baubles
is santosba, the Sanskrit word for "coutent
ment,” as if their wonder and beauty were
calculated to fill ordinary hearts and minds
quite to the brim. It is better, however,
for those who are not millionaires to talk
and think as little as possible about the
glittering contents of those Indian treasure
chambers.
THE YOUNG PARSON'S CAYENNE.
Hla Hoosier Friend Thought it Too
Hot for a Universallst to Use.
From the St. Louis Republic.
That a little fun now and then is relished
by the best as well as the wisest of men, is
not infrequently illustrated in the social
meetings of the Protestant olergy of the
city. They eDjoy a good joke as heartily
bb anyone, and not a few of the St. Louis
ministers are capital story tellers. As an
instance, the following ludicrous anecdote
is given as related the other day by an old
and prominent minister:
“Many years since,” be said, “when
simon pure uuiversalism was preached I
ebanood to be in Indianapolis dur.ng the
progress of a convention of ministers of
that faith. Stopping at the same hotel
where I did was a young parson who had
come from the east to attend the conven
tion. As it afterward developed he had
taxen the precaution in visiting that
malarious country to carry a vial of
cayenne pepor in his pocket, to sprinkle his
food with, 83 a preventive of fever and
ague. At dinner one day a tall lloosier
observed the parson as he seasoned his moat
ann Addressed him:
“ ‘Stranger, I’il thank you for a leetle of
that ’ere red salt, for I’m kind o’ curious to
try it,’ eaid he.
“ ’Certainly,’ returned the parson, ‘but
you will find it very piwerful; bo careful
how you use it.’
“The Hoosier took the proffered vial, and
feeling himself proof against any quantity
of raw whiskey, thought that he could stand
the ‘red salt’ with impunity, and accord
ingly sprinkled a piece of beef rather boun
tifully with it, and forthwith introduced it
into his capacious mouth. It soon began to
take hold. He shut his eyes and began to
writhe. Finally he could stand it no longer.
He opened his mouth and screamed ‘fire!’
“‘Take a drink of cold water from the
jug,’ said the parson.
“ ‘Will that put it out?” asked the mar
tyr, suiting the action to the word. In a
short time the unfortunate man began to
recover, and turning to the parson, his
eyes yet swimming in water, exclaimed:
’“Hiranger, you call yourself a’Varsel
list I believe?’
“ ‘I do,’ mildly replied tho parson.
“•Wal, I want to know if you think it
consistent with your belief to go about with
hell fire in your breeches pocket?’ ’’

TRICHINOSIS IN BOLOGNA.
More of It to the Acre Than New Eng
land Ever Knew Before.
Shelburne Falls, Mass., March 13.
In the little hamlet of Willis I’lace, in the
township of Colrain, there is concentrated
more trichinosis to the square acre than
was ever before known to exist in New
England. It iB a cotton manufacturing
village, and most of its 200 inhabitants are
mill operatives, French Canadians and
Bavarians.
During the latter part of January and
early in February a largo number of the
adult employes of the mill were taken seri
ously sick, the symptoms being purging,
nausea, prostration, followed by pain and
stiffness of the limbs, swelling of the face
and high fever. Investigation showed that
all those who ware sick had shortly before
eaten quite freely of bologna sausage.
Further investigation showed that the sick
were afflicted with trichinosis. There were
thirty oases, and three of the victims have
died. ’ The others are still seriously ill, but
no more deaths are expected.

Visit of Bishop Nelson-The Girls’
Industrial College.
Mir.i.EDGEViLi.E, Ga. . March 15.—Rt.
Rev. Bishop Nelson of the Episcopal dio
cese preached yesterday at St. Stephens'
church, and last night at the Methodist
church, in this city. At the morning serv
ice a class of eight young ladies wore con
firmed. Bishop Nelson has created a most
favorable impression here among every de
nomination, and great crowds heard him at
both services. The Episoopal church here
has been without a rector for several
months, but the bishop assured the congre
gation that a pastor would be provided
them in n very short while. At the night
servloe, in the Methodist churob, his ser
mon was prefaced by the statement that he
had oome to Georgia to work with the best
of his ability to uplift humanity and help
men to a higher life, and that, in doing
this, he would give his best efforts toward
strengthening the bonds of unity btween all
Christian churches.
~Tbo Girls' Industrial College has fired the
first big gun in the world's fair movement
and has given promise of several more in
tho near future. T)r. Beales, of that Insti
tution, gave a lecture on fairs in the large
auditorium on Friday night, the proceeds
of which will go toward the state exhibit at
the Columbian exposition. Dr. Bsales is
among the finest lecturers in the country,
and his effort Friday night was simply
grand. He gave a history of the progress
ot fairs, the benefits, eta This lecturo will
be followed by a series of lectures on dif
ferent subjects and by different lecturers
for the samo purpose. In aiding the move
ment toward representation at Chicago, the
lectures furnish beneficial entertainment
to tho ladies of the school, as well as to
citizens generally.
The political pot has not commenced
boiling here yet, and the slatemakers, who
usually rise to the top at this season of
the year, are conspicuous only
for their absence. The average
politician seems to have mounted the fence
to await the developments of the third
party, which, by the way, seems to have
gone in the ground in this section. Out of
the vast crowd who applauded Tom Wat
son when be said "I am a democrat,” your
correspondent has found only two, who
we: e willing to follow him out of the dem
ocratic lines in search of deliverance, and
both of those are debating between the pen
sion resolution of the new party and the
embarras-ment of skulking bacx to their
old protector, “a9 the prodigal son.”
Between Cleveland and Hill for tho
presidency, their has been an overwhelm
ing sentiment in favor of Cleveland in this
county. Baldwin county, however, is
satisfied to await the verdict of the Chicago
convention with some hope that neither of
tho New Yorkers will bo nominated.

How and Why a Stony-Hearted
Woman Refused to Marry.
thorn the Yankee Bifid-.
My first offer was made me by a boy of
18, and the way he proposed was: “Isay,
May, don’t you think it would be jolly fun
If you and 1 were to get married?”
I didn’t think it would. He was awfully
wretched, poor follow, for a fortnight; but
he didn’t die of a broken heart, as he said
he should.
The next was a young curate. He led the
way to the point by acriptural steps. “Miss
D he said, “ ‘Entreat me not to leave
thee, and to return from following after
thee,’ are very tgautiful words." I agreed
they were. “Very beautiful words,” he
went or f, “and—ah! ah!—very appropriate
to—to—more occasions than one." 1 sup
posed they were. “Yes," he said, "to more
occasions than one. Take the—ah: ah!—
the present, ah! for instance. I would my
self—ah ! ab!— apply the words to—to—ah—
to myself. I—l—would say—ah! ah! the
fact is 1 love you." I was sorry for him,
for be was a good natured, honest hearted
fellow, though be was so nervous and
clumsy.
The next wooer was a man I detested.
He was what is called “a lady killer.” His
dress was exquisite. Hli hat, his collar, his
tie, his cuffs, bis cut of clothes were superb.
One day, in spite of all rebuffs, catching me
alone, he seized the occasion. "Miss 1)
he said, “you know it is really ridiculous.
M y intentions are, I assure you”—here he
felt if his tie was right—“my intensions, I
assure you, are of the most serious—posi
tively of the most serious—ahem!—charac
ter, haw! Perhaps you had not suspected
it, but I have not been joking, I assure you,
not joking at all, you know. Seriously,
’pon my honor, you know, I would really
ask you to be my wife!" 1 gave him a very
decided answer.
The next was a man of business. He
thought it must be a wife. “I have $5,000
a year,” bo said, “will you share It?” he
was a good and honorable man, though
sharp and business like even in his way of
proposing. Ho got married within six
months of my refusal of him.
My fifth lover was an author, and his
mode of proposing was aomewbat out of
the usual way. We were great friendß,
and he used to show me many of bis
manuscripts for me to read and give him
my opinion on them. One day I received
one of these. It was tho story of a lover
who had sighed a long time in secret for
love of a girl who was pictured in all the
frantio fashion in which men who are in
love write. At last, however, aftor num
berless obstacles .had been overcome, tho
hero told his love, and just when I was ex
pecting the usual ending to it all—the story
stopped. I thought it strange. The next
day the author called on me, and then the
explanation came. The hero of the tnle was
himself, the heroine was me—aud the con
clusion was to be as I decided, i was really
sorry for him, for he was one of those fear
fully sensitive men—clever, though eccen
tric—worthy of a woman's love, aud sorely
needing it. I had ag< od cry all to myself
after he had gone, for I am sure he suffered
much.
My next offer was made by letter. It
seems to me that there is something wrong
with a man who is afraid to propose in per
son, and take refuge io writing. I could
never consent to marry one who dared not
ask me to be his wife, looking me in the
face.
1 rejected rll of tbese because, as I have
said, I loved someone else who never pro
posed to me. lam grieved to think that I
must have caused pain to some, but my con
science is clear. I never consciously en
couraged any of them to fall in love" with
me.
Smoke e.a a Drink.
From the New York Herald.
A statute of Vermont declares that ‘ ‘if a
party obtaining a verdict in his favor shall,
during the term of court in which such ver
dlot is obtained, give to any of the jurors in
the cause, knowing him to be such, any
victual or drink by way of treat, either be
fore or after such verdict, on proof thereof
being made tho verdict shall beset aside."
This, it will be noted, prohibits a winning
litigant or his lawyer from "treating’’the
jury to “auy victuals or drink” for weeks
and perhaps months after the verdict has
been rendered. That Is a remarkable law,
but still more remarkable is the interpreta
tion recently given to it by the supremo
court of Vermont.
The court has set aside a verdict because
the successful complainant gave some of the
jurors cigars after the verdict had been
rendered. Cigars are not mentioned in the
statute, but tho court holds that they come
within the spirit if not the letter of the law.
In a separate opinion Judge Taft goes so
far as to hold that tbqy are wjibjp the letter
as well as the spirit, Here i* hjs view:
* ‘Tobacco is both a victual and a drink.
It is taken as a nourishment, ‘Sustenance,
food, etc., therefore a victual. It is not an
obsolete use of the word to ealllt drink.
"Joaquin Millar says: ‘I drink the winds
as drinking wine.’ If a man can drink wind
I think he cau drink tobacco Bmoke, vile
and disgusting as it is. A man is compelled
to drink it by having it puffed in his face
on all occasions and in all places from the
cradle to the grave. It is drink.”

THIS CUT SHOWS HOW THE TIRE KNOWN AS THE
CLINCHER PNEUMATIC
Is made. There are lots of pneumatic tires made, but this is
the only one made that you can take a trip on and guaran
tee a safe return to town. Mr. Herbert Hutchinson, King
street, Bristol, Conn., writes: “A boy got at my machine
and cut the outer band right through, and I have ridden it
in this condition 1,500 miles.” No other pneumatic can quote
such a record. We claim in the ORMONDE to have the light
est, the fastest, the strongest, and, without contradiction; the
handsomest machine made, and is backed up by the mak
ers’ and our own personal guarantee as to its quality. We
have sold over twenty-live of the 1892 wheels,and we are yet
to have the first one in for repairs. We guarantee all our
wheels to be the finest that can possibly be made, and if
anything does happen to them we are here to make the dam
age good. We sell our wheels on the installment plan, and
can make terms to suit any man’s pocket. Bicycles are
only a small part of our business, Furniture and Carpets are
our main lines, and in these we defy any one to quotelower
prices, or give you a better assortment of goods.
