1 4 James G. Blaine bad the distinguish-
fill lionor of beinr? sliown the door
at Lehman's ball Tuesday night for
conduct that was not in keepiug
with rules that govern the local Four
Hundred. After the performance at
the Academy yesterday afternoon
be, with other members of the eom
V...- pany of amateurs who took part in
Fr Diavolo, attended a supper at
which wine was served very liberally.
He imbibed very freely consequent
ly felt rather hilarious. One of the
ladies felt bo completely worn out
that he" went to sleep. After sup
per Mr. Blaine attended the geruiau
at Lehman's hall Society here was
largely represented and the affair
was one of the brilliant affairs of the
season. Mr. Blaine danced and
seemed to enjoy himself immensely
until his shoes began to hurt, when
he deliberately sat down in the mid
die of the floor and toek them off.
The sensation produced can better
lie imagined than described. Subse
quently he put them on again and
the escapade would probably have
been passed by had not, Mr Blaine
so far forgotten himself as to tickle
a young lady's shoulder. This act
was resented by Mr. J. Ridgeley
Trimble, who, without further ado
hustled the young son of the Secre
tary of Sate out of the door. Where
Mr. Blaine subsequently landed is
unknown. The dance was continu
ed without him.
Mr. George M. Pulman, the pos
sessor of 150,000, recently said to a
correspondent, when asked how it
felt to be a raillionare: "I have never
thought of that. But now that you
mention it, I believe that I am no
better off certainly no happier
than I was when I didn't have a dol
lar to my. name, and had to work
from tkvlight till dark. I wore a
xgod'suit of clothes then, and I can
-w fie . 1
oulv wear one now. 1 reiisneu mree
good meals a day then a good deal
more than I do three meal a day
now. I bad fewer t are. I slept bet
ter, and I may add, generally, that I
believe I was far happier in those
days than I nave Deeu many
I became a millionaire.

vet it is a comfortable feeling to be
rich:'
The motiou to repeal the law
which prohibits the importation of
t American povk was defeated vesttr-
day in the German rcicbtag. lLe
argument advanced iu favor of iu.i.u
.:..; the . tuvseut embargo was
iaiii"h
that there is no system of meat iu-
spection in the .United Statep, and
thev - exclusion of . American pork
waa demanded as a measure of pro-

San Francisco and the return of his
body to his home in the Hawaii is-

said to have actually occured during
his visit to this country six or seven
years ago. He attended the Missou
ri Legislature while in session, and
took a train for Kansas City. The
King bowled up so frequently it be
came necessary to put him to bed
Arrangements had been made for
his reeeption at Kansas City, and it
would be an unpardonable offense
for him not to respond. Mr. James
N- Burns who died a representative
in Congress, was adorned in the
King's toggery: and at the proper
time spoke to the assembled thou
sands. Among other things, he re
marked he had heard of Kansas
City's wonderful progress in his far
off home, whieh was greeted with
great enthusiasm.
.Nearly All For Cleveland.

poll of the senate of Alabama, 30 out
of 33 members being present, the

for president. A poll of the house
showed 76 present out of 100. Of

BOB FORI) SHOOTS AKAIV.
Je Jniii-t
Slayer Involved in Tror-
M' fu Cnloi ailo.
Walsenberg, Col., Jan. 23 Once
more Bob Ford, the slayer of Jesse
James, is a principal iu a shooting
scrape. It is not his fault, nor that
of his opponent, that no graves were
dug in Walsenburg yesterday. J. 1.
Haiden runs a sitloou between the
town and the mines. He and Ford
have not been on good terms for
some time. The two men were shoot-
ing j craps Wednesday niht and
quarreled over the stakes. Thev ad
journed to the bar for a drink and
the quarrel was renewed. Both men
began firing rapidly at each other. .
They were so close that each ote i
was trying to knock the other's gun j
out of the way, and as a consequent j
the bullets new in every direction.
The bystanders who were iu the
room at the time began crawling ui
der tables and hiding behind the
bar.'
Ater the smoke of battle had
cleared off it was discovered that
Harden had been shot in the shoul
der, the ball going through and coni
ng cut in tiie back, and was alfco
shot in the hand. Ford was also hit
i
in tle foot and was badlv burned
abeut the face with powder. Both
men' were arrested.
Beth guns had seen service before,
the jine used by Ford is the one with
whuih he shot Jesse James and
which he has carried with him ever
sinc4 that event, some ten years ago.
Hardeus revolver is the one which
Pete Foley used when he shot Jack
Edwards some months ago.
Woe ami Gray Reunion Proposed.
Mouticello, 111., Jan. 25. Maj.
Lamar Fountaine, the noted Confed
erate soldier, and author of "All
Quiet on the Potomac," has sent
a request to the Grand Army com
rades here and throughout the north
that there be held at Chicago or St.
Loojs a grand reunion of the Sol
diers who wore the blue and the
gray, to last eight or ten days,
where the survivors of the two
armies can hold a genuine reunion
of hearts and hands such as has
never been held since the war. He
promises that the boys who were
the gray will come in large numbers.
Globe Democrat.
The Senatorial contest in Illinois
A
is aparently as far from solution as
it was this time last week. The vote
stands: Gen. Palmer, D. 101, Got.
Oglesby, R. 100, and Streeter, A. 3;
necessary to a choice, 103. The
democrats are confident that they
can secure the two votes necessary
to the election of Palmer, while the
republicans are equally as confident
that Oglesby will capture the plum
In the mean time the three alliance
members are holding the legislature
at a dead lock, costing the state
thousands of dollars per day, for
what reason they alone can teH, cer
tainly they do not expect that 101
democrats or 100 republicans are
going to desert their faith and come
over to their man. But then if that
body is hke the average State legis-
tures it may be a good thing
thft state, if they stay tied
during the whole of the session.

Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 24. Ap
plication has been made to Governor
Markhani for the pardon of a San
Qeuatin convict named Wiison How
ard, who. under the name of Charles
Bravn, was sentenced from Calaver
as county in August, 1S90, to serve

stated to be a notorious Kentucky
and Missouri desperado and fugitive
from justice from those states. He
is accused of the murder of seven
people and is cow under indictment
for five murders committed in Ken
tucky. He is also under indictment
in Maries county, Mo., for the mur
