The rate of births per thousand of population is steadily decreasing in Eng¬ land, France, Germany and Belgium. Kentucky will try the experiment of permitting thre<.-fourth» of a jury in civil case3 (nine jurors) to render a ver¬ dict. The decline of the salmon is a phenom¬ enon that the San Francisco Examiner thinks should cause concern in Cali¬ fornia. Life insurance people claim that in the last twenty-five yeare the average of man’s life has increased five per cent., or from 41,9 to 43.9 year i. The now Colorado gold fields are a great place to get rich, observes the St. Louis Republic, if only enough tender- feet can be found to buy the claims. Inventors are not all unpractical, vis- ionary mcu. Ouo of the exceptions, noted by the New York Witness, located in Maine, has invented a flying machine —and has hired another man to try it. Emperor William is credited with the intention to have only general officers of the German army represent him as am¬ bassadors to foreign courts. Even the secretaries of legations are to be army officers exclusively. The hero Casabianca, who stood on the burning deck and was immortalized by Mrs. Heraans, is to receive a belated honor from the French Minister of Ma¬ rine, who has ordered a new torpedo boat to be called Luce de Casabianca, in memory of the brave Corsican sailor aud his son. Jame Whitcomb Riley, the Hooster poet, is disgusted with the children of modern literature. He says they are “littlo prigs” and “not real.” Tin trouble probably ia that latter-day fathers do not see much of their children and the mothers of healthy, everyday youngsters are kepi too busy to svrite about them. Herbert Speucer, the famous English philosopher, now seventy-three years of age, estimates that for forty years of aa activo literary Life his income has been something like $2000 per annum. An¬ thony Trollope, who wrote about forty of what the St. Louis Star-Sayings calls the dreariest novels that the English- speaking world ever waded through, made over $500^000 in the same time. Altogether, from its commercial aspect, philosophy doesn’t seam to pay. Taken altogether the hoodlum is the very worst type of criminal which mod¬ ern con litious have developed, observes the New Orleans Picayune. He is a savage in the midst of civilization; lie is the human wild beast that finds his lair in the jungles and slums of a groat city, but Is ever ready to emerge to commit bo tne act of inexcusable and wanton atrocity. These are the p iblic enemies with which society has now to deal, and it should show them no mercy, but hunt them down as it does ether worthless and venomous beasts. Says tho Chicago Herald: “Among tho provisions of Jay Gould’s will is one directing the payment of $5,000,000 to his eldest son, George J. Gould, for ser¬ vices of tho latter iu connection with tho management of tho testator's busi¬ ness, extending through a period of twelve years, during five years of which time the son was in entire charge of his father's vast and difficult interests. The testator refers with pride to the fact that, in his opinion, his “beloved son” has “developed a remarkable business ability,” and proceeds to “fix the value of his, services at $5,U33,00J.” This amount for twelve years’ service is equal to a salary of $416,666 per year. Some details of the fighting in Da¬ homey have reached France through eotne invalided soldiers recently landed at Bordeaux. From what they say it appears that the first attack which Gen- eral Dodds mile on Cana was unsuccess¬ ful, and the French had to *etreat aud 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 thoir noise for attacks of Dahomeyans end fired, but General Dodds checked these false alarms by ordering a fort- k Right’s imprisonment for any soldiei * ho fired without good reason.__^ w JAMES G.

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.

The most c ra £Q ent men in the nation stood around bis bier - The presence of the president and cabinet, tne justices of the supreme court, senators and representatives and diplomatic corps was not more signifi¬ cant than the homage of the waiting crowds which, in respectful silence, iined the streets through which the fu¬ neral cortege passed. 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, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge and Ex-Representative these Dunnell, delegations. of Min¬ nesota, were with EXERCISES AT THE CHURCH.
