BLAINE'S BIOGRAPHY.
We publish in another column a letter,
from Mrs. J. G. Blaine, relative to the
fraudulent "biographies" of the late
statesman, published by unprincipled
. book houses. Gail Hamilton is the
only person entrusted with the publica
tion of the biography of the great patriot
and statesman. She is a writer of world
wide fame and literary ability, and is
better qualified to write the biography
of Mr. Blaine than any other person.
Speaking of the frauds of the aforesaid
publishing houses, she comments thusly :
"When at the very foot of the cross,
the executioners of our Lord parted his
garments among them and cast lots for
his vesture, they at least had the gar
ments to divide. Certain modern pub
lishers, outrunning even the Jews and
soldiers in enterprise, add
greed, and would palm off
clothes upon . the people as
fraud to
their old
the true
seamless coat.. .
' "In the melancholy scramble to be
first on the market with an 'authentic,'
'authorized,' 'money-making' 'Biogra-
"phy of James G. Blaine,' the competit
ors have reached a point where it be
hooves me to speak.
"I may also be permitted to avail my
self of this opportunity to answer once
for all those honorable men and women
who, wishing to' be agents for Mr.
Blaine's biography, have made inquiry
whether the biographies -so advertised
were really 'authorized,' and if not,
whether Mr. Blaine's family design to
issue his biography. To the first ques-
' tion this paper ' is sufficient answer.
For the other, they will not fail to ad
mit that Mr. Blaine's family have not
yet had time to adjust themselves to
life without him. I can only say that I
believe them to hold his memory as a
sacred trust, and that their one thought
will be how best to preserve and present
that memory for the world 'b use.
"If it must be that rapacious rodents,
insensible to the most holy eentiments
of the human heart, regardless alike of
-the feeling of the living and the rights
of the dead, cannot be kept back from
his consecrated grave,' but persist in
their rancorous chant :
'Be he alive or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make me bread.'
The one consolation of all who love
him must be in tho full assurance that
the distress and horror are theirs, not
his."
America has a convert to the old Is
lam faith in the person of a man rejoic
ing in the name of Muhammad Alexan
der Russell Webb, formerly a reporter
for the St Louis Republic. A desire
to study Oriental languages a few years
ago led him to secure the position of
consul at Manila, in the Philipine isl
ands, and while there he became a be
liever in Mahomet and his religion.
He has returned to the United States on
a sort of missionary errand, where by a
series of lectures he hopes to induce his
countrymen to adopt his faith. He has
a complete assortment of Mohametan
dress which he wore in the east, and
will again put on when he goes upon the
platform. At present he appears in
plain citizen's clothes. His family con
. sists of a wife and two daughters. Mark
Twain- and Colonel Ingersoll were
among his listeners at a lecture which
he delivered at the residence of Colonel
David B. Sickels, New York, since his
arrival. He claims to have a fund sub
scribed by wealthy Orientals of $150,
000 ' with which to build a mosque in
New York. He is likely to become the
lad In Gotham's upper tendom.
The proposed canners' trust has been
broken, through a disaffection at their
meeting in Portland. There will be no
vulgar display of grief, no crepe on hats,
or anything of the kind on the part of the
general public. The king of fishes
may, as of old, grace the table of the
lowliest, for the good the gods provide
is not to be subject to a fancy price that,
will exclude it from all but those rich in
this world's goods.
Louis F. Post, one of the brightest
newspaper men of the country, albeit
not so well known aa many others less
brilliant than he, is about to visit the
coast and deliver some lectures. He
managed "Truth," a paper which had a
short but useful career in . New York
city, which suspended on account of
funds,. Mr. Post is a strong advocate of
tariff and tax reform.
The national senate shows a disposi
tion to take as much time as possible in
confirming -nominations and the sessions
are very short, yesterday's being only
ten minutes in length. Greater calami
ties could happen, however, aud the
only effect will be a few days' postpone
ment, a trifle light as air which is yet
not "confirmation." - ,

Th Gaesta Were Under the Table.
Sothern pave a dinner to Florence at a
London club and invited him tar half
an hour later than any of the other
guests. He said to his guests, who were
eminent men in literature and politics
and in the nobility: ."When Florence
comes suppose yon all get under tho
table? He'll think his lateness has
caused yon to leave.", So when Florence
was announced all except Sothern got
under the tabled and the tablecloth hid
them from sight. As Florence entered
he saw Sothern alone and said:
"Has nobody come yet?"
"Oh, yes," said Sothern in load
voice. - "They've all come. And as ebon
as you were announced they hid under
the table, though why the deuce they
did it I can't imagine."
One by one the guests crawled oat,
looking? red and ashamed. New York

Men's Clothes.
"Men are becoming as bad as women
for the adoption of strange and uncom
fortable fashions in clothing," said a
Fifth avenue custom tailor, "and they
need dress reform preached to them al
most as much as the feminine sex. Take
the high collars that are in vogue, and
which are worn higher than ever this
fall. They almost strangle one and chafe
the skin until it is sore. Between the
heavy, hot beaver hat and the tight col
lar, baldness is becoming rampant in our
cities. The high, tight collar has as
much to do with causing baldness as any
other one thing. Then the modern style
of fitting the clothes forces us to make
them tight and snug all around, and this
prevents one from really enjoying life.
"Tight patent leather shoes sweat and
pinch the feet until walking is a painful
exercise. Every time I see a dude with
all of the latest style of modern clothes
I pity him, and wonder that he submits
to such voluntary torture. I can assure
you that if his clothes fit him he is mis
erable. The old adage that 'if a man's
clothes don't fit him he is uncomfort
able' has been reversed." New York
Times.

The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. 8. Collins
against H. Herbring of this city, which was to
come before the jury yesterday morning, was
igain postponed. . This suit against one of our
oldest and best-known dry goods merchants
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Col
lins obtained under false pretenses and promises
at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount
of $50.80 from the defendant; but instead of pay
ing the bill, as. agreed, they shortly afterwards
left the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that aU their
household goods, etc., were in the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods held by the
sheriff. A portion of these goods were Bold last
December by the-sheriff of Wasco county, as no

Herbring, and he attached property for tho debt.
After the salo of the attached property the de
fendant attempts to set aside the sale and sues
Mr. Herbring for damages, claiming that tho
proceedings were not technically legal. Tho
razor-edge technicalities of law, we presume,
will always remain, but it works great hard
ships on creditors, in many instances, to be de
barred from collecting their just claims from'
the commission of a clerical error or the misin
terpretation of a dubious statutory provision.

The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. 8. Collins
vs. H. Herbring came to a termination yesterday
afternoon, the jury rendering a verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs. Mr. Herbring considers his
defeat as a fait accompli, and is now more than
ever convinced that he has to stick to his old
rule and motto to sell dry goods cheap and for
cash only.
