that, in his opinion, his “beloved son”
has “developed a remarkable business
ability,” and proceeds to “fix the value

appears that the first attack which Gen-

choose better positions. It was the
second attack that succeeded. Tne loss
in officers is explained by the fact that
they stood upright and were more ex¬
posed, therefore, than their men, who
fired on their knees in the bush. Tne
women soldiers of the Dahomeyans alone
had quick-firing rifles, the men using
only ordinary muskets. The scarcity of
wells was a great inconvenience, and the
rain-water had to be collected. Owing
to frequent storms the heat was not so
great as expected, and the sky was often
cloudy. Monkeys are so plentiful in the
forests that the sentinels at first mistook

Washington co’lcge, in his native county,
with honors in J847; was instructor in
literature and science in the Pennsylvania

republican national convention which
nominated General Fnmont for
the presidency; in 1858 was
elected to the state legislature,
serving four successive terms in that
body, two of which ss its speajerr. He
was elected to c ngre ss in 1862, where,
in one branch or the other, he served for
eighteen years. Began to take a prom¬
inent pirt iD the work of reconstructing
the c nfedemte states in 1865. During
the year 1867 he opposed thet section of
the reconstruction bill placing tbe Soutn

ally s uccessful in defeating tbe obnox¬
ious clause, ne also delivired a power¬
ful speech against the doctrine of paying
off the public debt in greenbacks. Cho¬

He sent two letters from Europe saying
he would not be a candidate under any
circumstances. He returned in the fall
and delivered several speeches in favor of
General Harrison’s candidacy. Harrison
appointed him secretary of state in 1889,
and began to interest himself immediately

tional affairs. In 1890 he formulated his
reciprocity ideas, which were incorpora¬
ted in the tariff act this year, and which
led to commercial treaties with several
countries. In 1892 he resigned a* seer.-
tary of State in June and spent the sum¬
mer at Bar Harbor. In October he made
a speech at Ophir Farm on his way to
mained. Washington, where he has since re¬

President Harrison has issued the fol¬
lowing proclamation:
Executive Mansion, Washington, January
27, 1893.—It is my painful duty to announce to
the people of the United States the death of
Jamis Uillesp 0 Blaine, which occurred in this
city today at 11 o’clock. For a full generation
this eminent citizen has occupied a conspicuous
and influential position in the nation. His first
public service was in the legislature of his
state. Afterwards for fourtten years he was a
member of the national house of representatives
and was three times chi sen it speaker. In 1876
he was eli cted to the senate. He resigned his
seat in that body in 1881 to accept the position
of secretary of Btate in the cabinet of President
Garfield. After tbe tragic death of his chief,
lie resigned from the cabinet, and devoting
himself to literary work, gave to the public in
bis “Twenty Years in Congress,” a mnst valua¬
ble and enduring contribution to our political
litera’ure. In March, 1889, he again in came
secretary of tbe state and continued to exercise
this office until June, 1892.
His devotion 10 public interests; his marked
ability and his exalted patriotism have won for
him the gratitude and affection of his country¬
men and the admiration ot the wolrd. In the
vari< d pursuits of legislation, diplomacy and
literature his genius ha3 added new luster to
American citizenship. expression
As a suitable of national appreci¬
ation of his great public services, and of gen¬
eral sorrow caused by his death, I direct that
on the the day of his funeral all departments
of the executive branch of the government at
Washington be closed, and that on all public
buildings throughout the United States nation¬
al fligs shall be displayed at half-staff, and
that for the period draped of thirty days the depart¬
ment of state be in mourning.

WHAT WAS TnE DISEASE?
In answer to the question, “D : d Mr.
Blaine die of Brightis disease?” Dr. J> ha¬
sten said: “While there has been dur¬
ing the last several months evidences of
chronic disease of the kidneys, being in
the form of what is commonly known as
Blight’s disease, yet this was not the
sole cause of death. There were other
constcutive complications which tended
to exhaust him. and to hasten the end.
The relapses, which he has had from
time to time, were due to heart exhaus¬
tion, that is, feebleness and irregularity
of the heart, accompanied by difficult
breathing. Towards the morning of the
27th instant his pulse was observed to be
very feeble and his breathing more em
harassed. As a result of failing heart
action oedema of the lungs occurred and
he died without much suffering at eleven
o’clock. During the whole of Mr.
Blaine’s illness digestion was well per
formed and liqu: l food (chiefly milk) mind
was taken in full quantities. when His clouded
was generally clear, except
by disturbed brain circulation. Although
unable to express himself in words, he
recognized all the members of his fam¬
ily up to within a few moments of his
death.

COVERED WITH FLOWERS.
The parlor on the second floor where
the body lay in its cedar cisket, closely
sealed, fairly was embroidered with fio¬
rd tributes. The casket rested on a huge
bed of roses, violets, palrne leaves and
ferns, suit by Mrs. Emmons B aine,
about nine feet long by four feet wide,
flowers artistically giving the combina¬
tion colors and dtsigns of an oriental
rug. The parlor was far too email for
the destinguished mourners who by invi¬
tation sought access to it.
president's party.
The president entered, accompanied
by Sirs. McKee, private Secretary Hal¬
ford and Lieutenant Parker. The vice-
president, accompanied by Mrs. and Miss
Morton, members of the cabinet and
their families and many other distin¬
guished people followed. The cere¬
monies at the house were grand in their
simplicity.
A few minutes after 11 the mourners
entered and the president and all the dis¬
tinguished concourse rose to pay fitting
honor and sympathy to the sorrow 7 of the
deceased statesman’s relatives. The fam¬
ily was followed by Rev. Dr. namlin, of
the Church of the Covenant, who stand¬
ing beside the casket, in a low tone de¬
livered the Presbyterian prayer for the
departed soul. He returned thanks to
God that by his power this life was
euded only that a life of immortality
might be begun. He beseeched the At
mighty that comfort might come to every
member of the stricken household, be¬
came one that had gone out of this life
had gone to immortality. Let the conso¬
lation that comes from above fall tenderly
and sweetly upon them. Speak to them
words of comfort such as Thou alone can
teach. This we ask in the name of our
Savior. Amen.
THE MARCH TO THE CHURCH.
This completed the brief, impressive
services, and the casket was closed and
tenderly borne to the hearse. Solemnly
and in silence the family and mourning
guests left the house which has been so
frequently invaded by the-angel of death,
and the sad procession wended its way
slowly to the church. Outside the house
the street was thronged with spectators
who reverently doffed their hats as the
pall bearers deposited their sacred bur¬
den in the hearse, while the attendants
temporarily buried it under as many flow¬
ers as could be placed thereon. r I he cor¬
tege then started for the church.
A long line of carriages, in which wore
the family and distinguished personages,
followed the hearse in regularly assigned
order. The Presbyterian Church of the
Covenant, where Mr. Blaine was a pew
holder, is a modern edifice, situated at
the corner of Connecticut avenue and N
street, opp> site the Briti-h legation and
in the heart the fa;-hioDable north¬
western section of the city.
Anticipating the tremendous pressure
for admission to the church, a squad of
police was sent there early in the morn¬
ing to surround the building with a cor¬
don of rope and to exclude all not spec¬
ially invited. The decorations ai the
church were very rich and rffective.
The relatives and pall bearers occupied
the first eight rows of seats. In the main
aisle behind them were seated tbe presi¬
dent, vice president, cabinet officers,
Speaker Crisp and members of the su¬
preme court with their families. Inter¬
mixed with them were Baron Fava, dean
of the diplomatic corps,Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, British minister; the new Russian
minister, Prince Concatuiene; represent¬
atives of the French, German and Span¬
ish legations and nearly all the ministers
from South and Central America as well
as many senators and representative- 1 . In
addition to those persons at the house
among the senators were Sherman, Saw¬
yer. Carey, Yoorhees, Merrill,Washburn,
Peffer and Cockrell.
Five of the justices of the supreme
court, headed by the venerable Justice
Field, arrived early. The others were
Justices Gray, Blatchford, Brown and
Sbiras. Chief Justice Fuller joined
them just before the services began. On
the left side of the church were the dele¬
gations from the state of Massachusetts,
from the Union League clubs of New
Y’ork and Philadelphia, and from various
points in Pennsylvania. Warner Miller,

tire family in Johnston county, its mem¬
bers being Wiley Peacock, wife, infant,
a little brother and cousin. They were
in their house, and the fire, which oc¬
curred about midnight, was seen by
neighbors, but not located. The five
bodies were found in the ashes three
days later, the neighbors having been
kept at home by tbe severe weather.
A Louisville, Ky., dispatch John of Tues¬
day says: The Itev. Father F.
Colleton who for the past five years has
had charge of the Roman Catholic church
at Ray nick, Ky., has renounced his faith
and is now excommunicated. Wednes¬
day last Father Culleton married his
cousin, Annis Culleton, of Wapakonetta, performed
Ohio. The ceromony was in
Cincinnati. Culleton was barely thirty-
five years of age, but has been a priest
thirteen years.
Fred Schumann, a well known citizen
of Memphis, Tenn., killed his two child¬
ren, Lottie, aged thirteen,and Fred,aged
nine, and committed suicide Monday
morning. Schumann was found in a dy¬
ing condition with his children lying
dead in his arms on the bed. Three
glasses containing sediments of arsenic
on the mantelpiece showed the means of
their taking off. Schumann has been a
a widower for two years. It is thought
he was financially embarrassed.
In the Tennessee senate, Monday, Mr.
Whitthorne presented a memorial from
the heirs of president James K. Polk set¬
ting forth the facts in regard to the
coming sale of tbe Polk place in case tho
state should deem it advisable to pur¬
chase the place for a governor’s mansion.
The memorial states that otherwise the
remains of the distinguished president
and wife will be removed, with the
tomb, to Mt. Olive cemetery, unless the
legislature desires their interment in the
capitol grounds.
A Montgomery, Ala., special says:
The question of holding a constitu¬
tional convention has been uppermost in
Alabama for a month past. Thursday aft¬
ernoon a caucus of the members of the
upper house met and, with only one dis¬
senting voice, decided not to go into a
joint caucus on the subject. This is
tantamount to a defeat of the movement,
A poll of the senate shows that twenty-
eight out of a total of thirty-three mem-
bers ate against a convention this year.
This absolutely settles this issue for the
present.
A Parkersburg, W. Ya. special says:
John Michaels, wife and three little chil¬
dren were discovered frozen to death Sat¬
urday night in a hovel in Putnam county
near the Lincoln county line. Tbe fourth
child, an infant, heavily wrapped, whs
found to be alive. Michaels and wife,
who are slid to have been simple minded,
have led a sort of gypsy life for years,
wandering about through Wist Virginia
in summer, and going south in advance
of the snows of winter. It is supposed
they failed to get away in time this
year and the severe cold, so prolonged,
caught them without preparations to
withstand It.
BANK ROBBERS CAPTURED
After a Lively Battle in Which a Citi¬
zen was Killed.
Friday afternoon two masked men en-
tered the front door of the Waverly
bank, at Wavtrly, Kansas, covering
Cashier Davall and Assistant Cashier
Converse converse witn with revolvers revolvers. Thev iney coouy coollv
proceeded to rob the vault and cash
drawer. While thus engaged Mr.
O’Neill, a merchant, entered the bank to
make a deposit. At the risk of his life
Davall called to him to run and alarm
the citizens. O’Neill raD across the street
to give an alarm. The robbers ran
for the horses, which were in the alley
behind the bank. They were closely
pursued by a number of citizeos. Fore¬
most in pursuit was A. ?. Ingieraan. As
the first robber leaped into the saddle he
turned and fired at iDglcmaD, sending a
ball through his heart, killing him in¬
stantly. A fusilsde of shots followed,
but the robbers got away. About two
miles from town they were surrounded
and they surrendered after their horses
were killed and their amunition exhaust-
ed.
Cattlemen’s war in Wyoming is still
smouldering.
NUMBER 4.
The EflYct of Rase.
We say a man was “red” with rage, or
we express the extent of his fury. 1‘hysi-
ologically, we are then speaking of the
nervous condition of the minute circula¬
tion of the blood; that “red” rago
means partial paralysis of minute blood
vessels; that “white” rago means tem-
porary suspension of the action of the
prime mover of the circulation itself,

duced without the occurrence of per-

To head of brigandage in Italy makes
one doubt if this can be the nineteenth

where the first requisite of stable govern¬

wanting. The country groans under the
