BLAINE DEAD W ashington , Jan, 27.—James G. Blaine died at 11 o'clock a. m. The end came peacefully, the ex secretary passing from a state ot unconsciousness to death. Ilis wife and children were at the bed side. The news quickly spread to the capitol and throughout the city. It was everywhere expected, | but when the announcement came, the impression was more profound than any created by similar news since the death of Abraham Lincoln. Blaine’s death at last cam® pain le«!»ly and quietly, but not with out premonition. The approach of de&lfi was made evident to the family fully two hours before its actual occurrence. It was be tween eight and nine o’clock this morning when the first dangerous symptoms were observed. Both physicians were immediately tele phoned for and arrived within a few minutes of each other. A powerful stimulant, nitro glycer ine, which several times before brought ihe patient out of the dark valley of death, was power less now. Dr. Hyatt, at 9.30, came out and said to a group of waiting newspaper men that he feared I lie end was at hand. In the mean time all the family was summoned into the death chamber, Mrs. Blaine. Hattie Blaine. Mrs. Dam- r*»sch, Jus. G. Blaine, Jr., and Miss Abigail Dodge Hamilton. In the silence of tearful sorrow they witnessed the closing scenes. The patient passed away so quiet ly the doctors were hardly aide to say when he died. No word ol consciousness, no look of recogni tion, passed. At 10:45 he lay so still the window shades were rais ed to give more light to enable t-he physicians to determine if life still lingered. Fifteen minutes lates they proclaimed him dead. The news was instantly flashed all over the world. Young Blaine was in the act of writing a note to President Harrison to inform him of the event when the president himself arrived, accompanied by Private Secretary Halford and Secretary of State Foster. All the rest of the cabinet followed and excitement throughout the city became general as t lie news spread. THE BURIAL. W ashington , Jan. 30.—Tiie re mains of the Nation’s dead states man were laid away to rest at Oak H«.ll Ccinelf ry i his ..ftcrimou. Brief services wen- held .it ill- house and then the body was taken to the church of the cove nant, where Rev. Dr. Hamlin cmi ducted a simple Presbyterian fu neral service. The piayer \ui- the only approach to a funeral discourse that marked the cere monies. At 12:45 the church ser vices closed and the casket re placed in the house. At this junc ture it was discovered that Mrs. Blaine was not present, and it was soon learned that she had been overcome by grief and had re mained at home. At the cemetery the successive terraces that border the pathway leading to the grave scores of sor rowing spectatores were standing. The floral tributes were so ninner ous that five wagons were requir ed to convey them to the ceme tery. With tiie exception of Mr». Blaine all the family and relatives were at the grave. Behind them stood the president ot the United States, the distinguished pall bi-arers, members of the cabinet, Vice President M«>rton and many intimate friends and political a*- *oc!a(es. Dr. H xml in read the simple burial service of tiie Pres byterian church. This was fel lowed p.v an extemporaneous prayer. Then cam»' the bene lic- tion and all that was mortal of James Gillespie Blaine was con signed to eaith. Mr. Blaine had made a will and provided for his disposition ol his property, amounting to $800,000. Everything was unre cervedly left to his wife. Mis. Blaine is the sole executrix and is not required to give bond i.u u a i i e s D o X o l Sh'.' l f e a r s . One of the most, curious facts connected with madness is the til ler ab»ence of tears amid the in sane. What ever the form of mad ness, tears are couspieious by their absence, as much in the depres sion of melancholy or excitement mania as in the utter apathy ol dementia. If a patient in a lunatic asylum he di.-covored in tears it will be lound that it is one beginning to lecover or an emotional outbreak in an epileptic who is scarcely truly insane, while actual insane persons appear to have lost the power of weeping, it is only re turning reason which can once more unloose the fountains of their tears. Even when a lunatic is telling one in fervid language how she has been deprived of her children or the outrages that have been perpetrated upon herself, her eve is never even moist. The ready gu»h of tears whi<-h accompanies the plaint of the sane woman con trasts strangely with the drv-eved appeal of the talkative lunatic. It would indeed stem that tears give relief to feelings which, when pent up, lead to madness. Itis cue of the pi vi'egi's of reuooti to be' able to we**p. Among; all tin* mi- »-ry ol tin* insane they find no re lief in tears. Kstrujed. One bay horr-t*, 7 j'ears old, brand, d A <»n left il-gh. ¡Star m foreliead, and V shod in front.
