A woman will gush over a beautiful complexion, and vet she is entirely too lazy to cultivate it; she will tako a bath one morning, then stop for three, and when she is shamed into g absolutely and perfectly clean, it is illy because she hus got married and has been the cause of it.

THE STORY OF THE MARRIAGE The Secretary Resents the Attacks on His Wife. He Make» n Full Statement of tho Clr uHtnne.os Connected With His Son Against His id Denies tlio Charge» Made fo hy Youug Mn. Ulalne. Washington, D. C., Fob. 28. — James G. Blaino had a great surprise in store * " the world to-day, when ho surn of the Associ ior me woriu to-a ay monod a représentant ated Press mid gave him a written state ment in which ho makes some sensa tional disclosures in the marriage and divorce of his son, James O. Blaine, Jr. The Secretary of State entitled his communication "a personal statement." His object, in writing it is to striko back at Judge Thomas of Deadwood, South Dakota, who, in granting a divorce to Mary Novlns Blaine a few days ago. took occasion to say that Mrs. James O. Blaine, the elder, cause of all tho young couplo'B unhap piness. As it was supposed that the Blaino divorce difficulty was ovor and that the unpleasant thing would bo loft to re main in silence, this tearing open of old wound by Secretary Blaine himself will cause unbounded comment. t'i" IADED A REPLY. Secretary Blaino's statenient would fill several columns of this newspaper. At the outset he says: "Since the separation of my son and wife, three and a Half years ago, my family have silently borne every mis representation, every slanderous attack, every newspaper interview, which it has pleased the now divorced wifo to inspire. The ono person aimed at has been Mrs. Blaine; and wo have perhaps been at fault in allowing a horror of the public discussion of privato matters, combined regard for the future of my grandson, to pormit so much calumny to o unanswered. Thu last outrage of tho ind, embodied in tho decision of the judge at Deadwood, Dakota, assumes an official character which makes it impos sible to remain longer silent." BLAINE'S LETTER TO DUCKY. Then to show how surprised tho Blaine family was, by the marriage of young James, he quotes a letter written by himself to Rev. Thomas L Ducey, the New York minister who married tho young couple, Beptomber 4th, 1886. This letter was dated, "Augusta, Maine, 13th September, 1886." The secretary bitterly censured Rev. Ducey for marry ing his son and Miss Ncvins, as James, Jr., was not then 18 years old. letter Blaino accuses Rev. Ducey of knowing that tho boy was under age, for tho young man told him so. This interesting criticism of Rev. Ducey says that Secretary Blaino sent His sp; Walker to New York, os soon as tu marriage was made public, in order to have it annulled, if possible. In the f quicK courtbiiip. The Ducey letter writton by Blaine informed the preacher that tlio then groom had only known Miss Ncvins 19 days, and had never heard of her before that time. Ho intimates very pointedly that Miss Ncvins, who was taken to Au gusta by lier father, was brought there for the solo purpose of catching his youngest son. Rev. Ducey had told Walker Blaino that he knew if ho had young couple some other preacher would have. Answering that, Secretary Blaine used this pointed expression : "This is a common defence of evil doing, and is unworthy of a priest and a man. You might as "well justify your murder of a man by chloroform ground that otherwise some one else would murder him with a dogger." THINKS MIBB NEVINS PROPOSED. After quoting his own letter, Secre tary Blaine continues thus: "When I wrote this letter I believed that Miss Nevins had no other responsi bility in tho marriage than to tho Bunting to my son's appeal, and was blameworthy for tills alone. Since then prepared to say that the marriage arranged by lier far more than by my son; that she did everything to pro mote it. "Within ten days after her arrival in Augusta, within she first met my t married tho the : week from the day , she was adjuring him thus for several successive days: 'Write nothing until I see you. Let mo know at once about tho law (of marriage.) I can't wait to hear. It makes me ill. 'Can you come to me a moment. I am alone. Do not send up your card.' " 'Did you seo the laws? Do not keep up tho suspense.' ANXIOUS ABOUT THE LAWS. "'Don't nsk any questions that may lead people to suspect anything. Ro membor * * * that we are in tlie mouths of overy man, woman and child in Augusta. Every word you speak is related and misconstrued. Every look of yours, every flush of your face is talked of. Look into the laws only to-morrow and perhaps ono ques tion at tbo bank.' 4 "You do not know how vilo the world is. Do look up the laws. Let ths rest keep.' "'Did you look into the laws of Massachusetts and New York ? I sure not. Answer this to-night.* " Secretary Blaino gives many other similar quotations from the girl's letters. OFVBRED THE1 A HOME. Mr. Blaine goes immediately into tlie history of the case and gives many dates. Ho says he and his w ife offered to take their and bis bride to their home in Augusta. Especially does tho secretary try to prove that his own wifo not responsible for the separa and liis wife, as the Da ti( of her kota Judge alleged. Ho declares that the older Mrs. Blaino had not seen her daughter-in-law for eight months after tho marriage. Mr. Bluinc writes thus of tlie situation in August, 1888: wouldn't it UCEl'T A HOME. "Within two three days I learned tlio details of tho dismal failure of their New York life, and after full consulta tion with Mrs. Blaine and with lier free approval, I proposed that they should to live at Augusta and occupy old lu "I had a summer liouso at Bar Harbor and, as 1 intended to spend all my '1 Washington, this house scant if they did not occupy ►use being large, I proposed to pay for fuel and light and the wages of a man servant; and' I would furnish them with a horse aud carriage. I also assured them, in addition the sum of $2,500 a year until my son should be able to rain an income of that amount. "I made the proposition while were sitting on the lawn with wife, but a few feet dis.ant. My sou went immediately over to her, and I know that ho told her in detail just what my offer was. Her raaly was that she winters 11 would be v iL Tho Ik l's would not stay in Augusta on any sidération." FINAL SEPARATION. Secretary Blaine's statement goes on and describes the last visit the young wife made to Augusta. Mrs. Nevins accompanied her. Jle says the older lady used such violent languago toward his wife, that Mrs. Blaine had to call in a servant. This, ho says, was the only time Mrs. Blaino, Sr., snowed any ani mosity toward her step-daughter, and all becaueo of the latter's stubborn ness. In closing his statement Secretary Blaine says: "Far bo it from me to hold my son blameless; though when his youth, his uncompleted education, his separation from the influences of home, the ex change of a life full of hopes and antieij pations for premature causes and un congenial companionship are considered I hold him more slnnod against than sinning. "But his mother at no time, in thought, or word, or deed, attempted to separate this man and ids wife. On the contrary she did not fail by liberality, by consideration, and by extenuation to foster in every practicable way their happiness—If happiness to them had been possible." ELOPED WITH A NEGRO. Tlie Strange Infatuation of a Pretty Young White Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 28.—William Baize, a stalwart young negro, and Tillio Oswald, a Mount Oliver belle of good parentage, have eloped to Cleve land, Ohio. Baize has for some time past been giving Miss Oswald lessons on tho guitar, and it was owing to Ills ar tistic manipulation of the silver strings that he succeeded in winning His Dos demona. The girl's step-' Tragrosser, called at polico headquar ters this evening and had telegrams sent to tho Cleveland officials to hold the couple. Mr. Tragrcsser says that tho negro began visiting their homo when ho laid up with a broken log and enter tained the family frequently with his guitar playing. All the time, however, Miss Oswald and the negro were having secret meetings, and at last, at the step daughter's request, Baize was engaged to give lier lessons on the guitar. lJaizo, after teaching Miss Oswald for several weeks, asked her if sho would in return teach him to read and write, which she unhesitatingly promised to do. Being together fr qucntly, the ie;ro all the time acting the part of a gentle man, the young girl, who is of a senti mental turn of mind, took pity on him and at last imagined that she really loved him. She finally consented to elope with him and both disappeared Saturday night. Tho couple arrived at Cleveland at 7 o'clock this morning. The negro is 25 years old and tho girl 18, and very pretty.

Sedalia, Mo., Feb. 24. —It is not at all improbable that Sedalia will be treated to a repetition of the Texarkana burning at the stake horror. The people here are to-night in a frame of mind to visit just such punishment on a crimi nal, if they could catch him. At a late hour last uight Charles Taylor, a prominont jeweler of this city, was waylaid and bound by a highway , and his young wife wronged.

Block after block was traversed until tho site of tho old hospital was reached, when a course across tho prairie, oast of the hospital was taken. Upon reaching a spot where a cry for help could not be heard, tho highwayman halted his prisoners. lie then took from his overcoat pocket a half-inch rope, tied Mr. Taylor's hands behind his back, and passed tho cord down to the feet and wound it around the ankle«, making them securely fast. THE YOUNG WIFE ASSAULTED. of his prisoner, he grabbed the trembling young wife by and led her away, and within Mr. Taylor's hearing and close enough for him to see but for the darkness, the brute after a desperate struggle with the woman, who fought for her life, suc ceeded in accomplishing his purpose. lie then brought Mrs. Taylor back to where her husband waB. cut with his dirk the cords that held Taylor captive, and with oaths commanded the couple to go to their homes.

At noon to-day a monster mass meeting was held at the court house, and measures taken to assist tlio officers in tho search. About $2,000 was quickly raised and a reward of that amount is offered for the villain. Excitement is very high. The police fearing mob work, appear to be afraid to make any arrests.

The conflict was witnessed from the Trapisar. A long-boat, manned by 12 seamen and commanded by a lieutenant, put out from the vessel to the assistance of tho sailors. When these men landed in the city they were ^attacked by rein forcements from the arsenal and routed. No shots w began their retreat, when three of them were killed by the bullets. One soldier was killod, making four in all known by the officers of tho Cyral to have died. Captain Oliphant said that the mili tary authorities showed extreme coward ice throughout the conflict.
