Mr. Manley said that eo far as he could see there was no reason why Mr. Biaine’s life might not be prolonged indefinitely. The mem- bers of the family share in this hope and are correspondingly cheerful. It is impossible to say bow the physicians regard the matter, for they have maintained « steady reticence when asked av to the possibility of any permanent improvement in the condition of their patient. here were fewer callers at the bouse today than any day during the past eeveral weeks. ‘The vnow storm of course was partly account- able for this, but the fact that wvery one believed Mr. Blaine to be better and in no immediate danger was the iv factor.

Benn Pitmay ONE WOMAN'S WAY Of Preserving Her Youth and Her Beauty— An Interesting Interview. From the New York Sun. “My dearest girl, I have simply preserved what good looks the Lord gave me, as every member of my sex should who prizes youth and beauty above eating, drinking and laziness,” said the hostess, prinking out her wide green velvet sleeves and watching the play of the firelight on her tea gown of daffodil yellow. “But how on earth do you manage it?” queried the pretty passe listener. “Here you are turning forty, and not a man at dinner Inst night would have given you day over twenty-eight years of age.” “Self-discipline and capacity for taking pains,” was the reply; “absolutely the only re- liable weapons for fighting wrinklee and old age. “-Go into details, please,” and a distinct note of envy sounded in the visitor's voice. “With pleasure,’ returned her hi remember me at eighteen lim girl, with round pink cheeks, soft eyes and fairly nice features. Iwas warned to make the most of my teaute de diable, for my friends sweetly as- sured me that it would fade, and fade quickly. The thought of becoming sallow and shriveled, or red and coarse was madness. I promptly resolved to battle for my beauty, and outwit time if possible. Just then I went to France, and by the merest accident fell upon a really wonderful old book. It pretended to reveul secrets known to Ninon de l'Enclos, Diane de Poitiers Recamier and other famous court belles who cherished their youthful love- liness long past their prime. Mixed in with a lot of nonsense were some wise and excellent suggestions. By adaptation avd experiments I have worked outa code that, if faithfully ob- served, will keep any woman fresh and fair until she reaches fifty at least.”” “Tell me, dear, do you think I am too late Lin beginning?” inquired the younger woman, anxiously. ‘Not if your digestion is good,” returned her friend. “My French mauual set me to study- ing my stomach from a scientific standpoint, and from that day to this I have never eaten a sweetmeat, tasted a drop of wine, or let jer pass my lips, Linen sheets, candios and hot baths I avoid like the pestilence.

One account in particular, stated to huve come from a physician and a friend of the Blaine family, was to the effect that » pecu- liar malady of the stomach was the cause of Mr. Blaine's illness. Dr. Johnston said Mr. Blaine’s stomach was now the strongest organ in his body. His digestion was good and throughout hin illness there had been no vomiting on the part of the tient. Of course, added Dr. Johnston, Mr. ine, like any other sick man, cannot digest solids, such as beefsteak. “Do you care to make any further statement in regard to Mr. Blainc's trouble?” was asked. “I do not,” was the reply “There is no great secrecy about it. I do not think it roper, however, that the doors of the Blaine ousebold should be thrown upen to the public and its privacy disturbed.” ‘Mrs, Eugene Hale called about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and remained an hour or 89, No one else of note had called since the phyftci visit of the afternoon. When Mra. Hale came out her answer to an inquiry as to Mr. Blaine’s health was reassuring. “Mr. Blaine is resting very comfortably indeed this evening,” she sai Acailer on the Blaine family who left the ion at midnight said that the ex-Secretary then resting very quietly, and that there Were no epprebonsions felt of any turn for jhe worse during the night. HELD UP THE VOUCHER. A Discussion Over an Incident Connected With the Soldiers and Sailors’ Home. The board room of the Commissioners was closed this morning, but the thin walls could not keep in the heated discussion that was tak- ing place. It was all about the Soldiers and Sailors’ Home, which Superintendent of Charities A. G. Warner did not think was being properly con- ducted and upon whose recommendation the Commissioners had declined to approve the quarterly voucher of $625 for the support of the institution. . According tothe facts’ submitted it seems that the manager was careless in his account According to the statement of Mr. J. R. Brad: ford the following is the story of the affair: Some time ago the manager of the home ceived a donation of $20. A few days later, when he met the treasurer, he told him he hed received several donations, but aa he did not have his book with him’ could not tell exactly the amount. He handed the treas- urer, however, $10, and later $10 additional. Somehow or other the superintendent of char- ities got wind of the transaction and he investi- gated the matter thoroughly. He heard of the existence of another receipt held by an inmate of the ‘Soldiers’ Home st Dayton, Ohio, and t immediately sent for the same. was for #10, but the manager had never accounted for it. He believes, in fact, that it is a forgery, but to keep the home from suffering made good the money himself. ‘The discussion waxed warm, and when it was over Mr, Brown used some strong expletives about Superintendent Warner. senses NORTH CAPITOL STREET. Capt. Rossell Thinks There is No Necessity at Pre: for Its Extension. Capt. Rossell this afternoon sent the follow- ing memorandum to the board relative to the extension of North Capitol street to the Sol- diers’ Home: “There seems to be no necessity for open- ing North Capitol street at the present time. The advisability of the measure rests upon the prolongation of one of the most important streets = inthe city to the Soldiers’ Home, on the line of which the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway pro- pores and basa charter to build its road as soon as the same is opened. “Outside of this Ido not see why the matter should not remain open until the general bill for the extension of the public highways is a Copies of previous reports upon the same subject aro also submitted, brief outlines of which have heretofore appeared in Tae Stan.

Protests Heard Teday Against Opening the Fair or “hat Daye MANY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT—TRE WOMAN'S CLUB OF CHICAGO WANT THE FAIR OPENED—WASHINGTON DIVINES SPEAK—REV. DB, GAVAGE TALKS ON THE SABRATH. The opponents of Sunday opening of the world’s fair today continued their objections to the world’s Columbian exposition against any change in the present law forbidding Sunday opening. Dr. Atterberry, representing the New York Babbath committee, composed of business men, Put in s protest from New Yorkers against Sun- day opening. Lawyer John E. Parsons wrote that freedom of religion and absence of religion were entirely different things. John Bigelow, formerly minister to France, wrote that the question at issue was really whether Sunday was to be hereafter regarded ase day different from other days. The Chi- cago expotition was nothing more nor less then fair, in the sense used in English Opening the fair on Sunday would mean to the world that the great republic of America had culminated in the elimination of the Sabbath. BISHOP BCRET'S PROTEST. Bishop Hurst of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with « membership of two and a quarter million, suid that church and the M. E. Church South, with n membership of one and « half millions, had met in conference and taken unanimous action against opening the fair on Sunday. Many of them hud decided to stay ‘sway entirely should the Sabbath be desecrated in this national way. It is note cry for lib- erty, but « cry for gold. REV. DR. METH. The Rev. Dr. McKim of the Episcopal Church ‘of Washington had been inclined to « partial Sunday opening, but « practical examination of the question had satisfied him that there was no middle ground. He appealed in behalf of the workingmen against seven days’ work» week. THE PROPLE OF CHICAGO. Dr. Herrick Johnson of Chicago claimed that the assertion of the city council that they rep- resented Chicago was hardly justifiable. He had no doubt the majority of the people of Chicago, if a vote were taken, would favor Sunday opening; but there are manyon the other side. He then lied to some of Mayor Washburne’s argument. With reference to the mayor's assertion that Sunday closing is unconstitutional and that this isa Christian nation, he ead the mayor and the Supreme Court differed. ‘The mayor said the majority of the people favored Sunday opening. Where was the proof? The Sunday closers had vouchers from over 12,000,000 people. Robert Belknap and Gifford Agnow of New York ctty also opposed Sunday opening. THE WOMAN'S CLUB. , ‘Mrs. I. K. Boyesen, representing the Woman's Glub of Chicago, with 500 members, read » fesolution of the club denying that all the respectable women of the country were opposed to Sunday opening and demanding that the fair be opened on Sunday. Mrs. Remick challenged the statement that the evangelical churches were a unit in favor of Sunday closing. As ahe knew inall the churches there was a silent minority, and sometimes a large minority, who believe in opening the fair on Sunday. It required « great deal of courage to vote in the minority on such a question, especially in the way it was frequently put—asking all who believed in the desecration of the Sabbath and the breaking of the fourth commandment to vote for Sunday opening. Mrs. Washburn replied to what she termed the inconsistency of the arguments of the Sun- day closers, Their arguments, sho said, reminded her of the polyglot American whose French friends said he spoke beautiful English and whose English friends said he spoke beautiful French. She only claimed to represent a few thousands and not millions, for modesty becomes a woman, if not a clergyman (laughter). Miss’ Anthony spoke in favor of Sunday opening. Sunday was as gooda day to do a good work ns any other day, and she supposed the fair was to do a good work. ‘Mr. Putnam of San Francisco also opposed Sunday closing. FAVORED PARTIAL SUNDAY OPEXIXG. ‘The Rev. H. W. Cross, a Presbyterian minister of Ohio, favored partial Sunday opening. The church petitions were exceedingly delusive, for persons voted as church members, as Christian endeavorers, until it almost seemed as if the principle was “‘vote early and often.” DR, SAVAGE GN TRE SABRAT! The Rev. Dr. Savago of Boston, a Unitarian minister, asserted that this talk about desecra- tion of the Sabbath had nothing to stand on in the Bible. The Fourth Commandment simply forbade all work on one day in the week, and Hebrew scholars said that the day was observed by the Jews as a day of joy and more like our Thankagiving day than anything else. Our Puritan Sunday was never known in any country in the world until the sixteenth centu: and then was simply a proper reaction against bear baiting, immorality and other improper amusements into which the day had degen- erated. As to churches, ten times as many as were in Chicago would be needed to accommo- ate the fair visitors. The interests of hu- manity, morals, education and oven of religion demanded that ‘the fair be kept open as many days as possible, OTHER SPEAKERS. Dr. Lewis, a Seventh Day Adventist, and Mr. Ringgold of Baltimore spoke in favor of Sun- day opening, and Dr. Blanchard of Llinois and the Rev. Dr. Brooks in opposition. Elliott F. Shepard read a letter from Rev. Dr. RS. Storrs of New York in favor of Sunday closing, DISTRICT GOV MENT. A DAILY GARBAGE SERVICE. ‘Twenty-five residents and taxpayers com- bined in # petition to the Commissioners today for a daily garbage service. The petition sets forth that the signers aroa few of the many who were much annoyed Jast summer by gar- bage nuisance growing out of @ failure to have this offensive material removed daily from their premises. WANT TO ENOW THE onyect. ‘The Commissioners have written to the Rev. Thos. J. Kervick that they have before them the bill “‘to incorporate the Tabernacle Society of the District of Columbia,’ fore they take any action, however, in the premises they request that he or some other Fepresentative of the proposed organization will appear before the Commissioners or sub- mit a statement of the object of the society, so that they can give an intelligent report. INTENDENT STOUTENBURGH'S REPORT. ‘The monthly report of Intendent Stouten- burgh of the Washington Asylum was sub- mitted to the Commissioners today. It shows that during December 424 prisoners were ved at the work house, which, together with the 312 left over from last month, brings the. total in the institation duri December to 740.

The House commtttes on clection of the President, Vice President and members of Con- gress yesterday voted to have its chairman call up for consideration in the House on next sus- pension duy the joint resolution of Mr. Tucker of Virginia reported from the committee pro- viding for the election of Senators by the direct vote of the people. OMEAP PosTAGE. Mr. Lockwood of New York has introduced in the House a bill fixing at 1 cent per pound the rate of postage on all publications of printed or lithographic matter consisting of show bills, posters, advertising sheets, preminm lists or newepaper supplements of any regularly ineor- porated agricultural, horticultural, medical or industrial society or association. Provided, that the societies have for their object the develop- ment of superiority in the breeding of horses, cattle and five stock or the encouragement and advancement of agriculture or horticulture. MUTILATED PAPER CURRENCY. The Speaker laid before the House yesterday © communication from Secretary Foster of the Treasury renewing his recommendation of last year for the appropriation of $50,000 for the redemption of worn and mutilated paper cur- tency and the issue of new currency for it In his letter submitting the proposition the Secretary says that since July 1, 1883, no ex- press charges have been paid by the govern- ment on worn or mutilated currency sent to the treasury for redemption and consequently the condition of the United States paper cur- rency incirculation throughout the country, par- ticularly in places at a distance from the cities wherethe subtreasury offices are located, has gradually grown poorer each year. It is thought that the bulk of the worn notes would shortly ppear from circulation and new notes be substituted for them if Congress would provide for the expense by appropriating sn amount sufficient to place the currency in good eon- dition, If the whole amount asked for ($50,000) cannet be authorized he requires that a portion of it be made available. ores. The Secretary of the Treasury has recom- mended to the committee on appropriations that the salary of the mail messenger of the Treasury Department be increased from $1,000 to $1,400.

Mr. Leech, director of the mint, has received @ cablegram from Paris, stating that the Bank of France is disbursing gold heavily for the reason that the lawful note issue has been reached and also because of the recent large withdrawal of notes by banks and others for the purpose of increasing their reserves. It is believed at the Treasury Department that the large disbursements of gold by the Bank of France, which is directly contrary to the policy it has pursued during the past ten years, will have abe effect to sensibly reduce the export of gold from the United States. ‘The Bank of France, it is stated, has €300,- 000,000 of gold in its vaults, the accumulation of years. ates “OLD CHRIS.” A Queer Character Who is Nowa Mormon Missionary.

Sine CUPS OF COFFEE. Where the Berry From Which This Bever- age Comes Has Its Origin. From the Louisville Commercial., “If married folks only would refrain from conversation in the morning until after they had had their cup of coffee there would be fewer domestic disagreements,” once said a delightful old lady with a varied experience at Washington and some foreign capitala.

Some quantity comes from the prov. | inces of Bahia and Ceara, both a part of Brazil. | Rio Janeiro and Santos export every year from | 5.750.000 to 7,000,000 bags of 130 porinds each. | | Rio was formerly the largest exporter, but San- | tox is rapidly outstripping her. Santos coffee is higher grade, has a finer flavor and, asa rule, commands more | than any other of the South American coffees. | All other coffees are called “mild,” as contra- | distinguished from that of the Brazilian. The largest producers of coffee are Brazil, | Venezucia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, United | tates of Colombia, Mexico (producing a bigh | grade, which is very popular, and the output is | rapidly increasing), West Indies, Hayti and San Domingo.

In spite of the most careful making and the most absolute purity bis Mocha was never right. At last. in his wife asked if be ever got his coffee to his taste. “Ob, yes, at the club, They make it there right enough,” was the answer. Driven tw ber wits’ end, the Jady consulted with her cook, and finally sent the latter to the clab to learn “proper way to make coffee.” — As the ab- solute purity of the coffee was one of the points insisted on as essential by her master. the cook studied the coffee used in prepariag her master * infusion, and her sense of smell speedily taught her that his so-called “pure coffee” wan iy mixed with chicory, chef coufirmed opinion, and she went home.
