Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, better known to the American publje as ‘Gail Hamilton’’ died at her home iif Hamilton, Mass., on Tuesday, the 18th, after a long illness. She was one of the most distinguished and forcible writers on the continent -and through her connection with James G, Blaine was recognized as one of the shrewd- est political advisers in the country. She was a cousin of Mrs. Blaine and for years had made her home with the Blaine fam- ily. Since Mr. Blaine’s death she has been working hard on his life, which has occupied her entire time, except what she gave toward securing the release of Mis. Mayhricks, the American woman imprison- ed for life in London for poisoning her husband. : Miss Dodge was not a fine or good look- inp woman but a wonderfully intelligent one. Her life was one of constant’ work and worry she began school teaching very young and from ‘62 to ‘95 wrote the follow- ing books. “Country Living and Country Thinking”" appeared, and then in rapid succession came ‘ ‘Gala. Days,”’ A new Atmosphere,” ‘Stumbling Blocks,’ “Skirmishes and Sketches,’’ ‘‘Red Letter Days in Applethorpe,”” ‘‘Summer Rest,” “Wool Gathering,”” Women’s Wrongs, a Counter Irritant,”” Battle of the Books,” “Woman’s Worth and Worthlessness,”’ “Little Folk Life,’ ‘‘Child World,” “Twelve Miles From a Lemon,” ‘Nursery Noonings,”” ‘Sermons to the Clergy,”’ “First Love's Best,” ‘“What Think Ye of Christ?’ “Our Common School System,’’ “Divine Guidance ;a memorial of Allen W. Dodge,”” and ‘‘The Insuppressible Book.” One of Miss Dodge's most successful hooks was entitled *‘Wool Gathering’. It was printed twenty-eight years ago. Having been induced to invest some mon- ey in a sheep farm, and having lost all her investment through bad management or misrepresentation, or both, she made an investigation of the wool business and s===DEALER JN ANTHRACITE, t —BITUMINOUS i «Sp... } | wrote a hook about it. That book had an | enormous circulation and attracted atten- i tion all over the country. It was the first I evidence of remarkable power, and from , that time forward everything from her pen was eagerly read. Miss Dodge's strong characteristics left their impress upon the career of James G. Blaine. It is one of the traditions of Washington that Mr. Blaine always leaned heavily upon her judgments When in doubt as to political, literary or diplomatic it was with her that he wished to consult WOODLAND COA 2!

Miss Dodge’s skill as a politician and her judgment of men were I said to be remarkably keen, and, with his | wife and Miss Dodge as his advisers, it used to be a common saying that Mr. Blaine had a cabinet which a president might envy. Sir John -Miliais. The English painter who died recently of cancer, the result of smoking, was in his the pole and return in safety i | teresting. This is just one minute, or over 62th year, and was the most distinguished British artist of his day, At the time of his death he was president of the Royal Academy of Arts, having been chosen to that position after the death of Lord Leighton. He had a long career as an artist and an honorable one. One romantic episode in his career is related as follows : John Ruskin, the celebrated art critic, de- siring to have a portrait of his young and beautiful wife, employed the young and beautiful artist Millais to paint it. The young people fell desperately in love with each other, whereupon Ruskin, instead of did all in his power to aid his wife in pro- curing a divorce, in order that she might marry Millais. It may be, if the whole truth were known, that Ruskin was not half so generous as some people have imag- ined. He knew the woman better than I Millais did. Among Millais’s most noted works are ‘The Huguenot Lovers,”’ *‘Our Saviour,” “Ophelia,” ‘The Order of Release,” ‘*Peace Concluded,’’ ‘‘The Heretie,’’ ‘The Black Brunswicker,”” ‘‘Charley Is My Darling,’ ‘Joan of Are,” ‘‘Waking,” “Sleeping,” *‘The Gambler’s Wife,’’ ‘A Dream at Dawn,’”” ‘‘Yes or No?” (‘The Jersey Lily,”? ‘Chill October,” ‘The Sound of Many Waters,”” ‘‘Forget Me Not’ and portraits of Gladstone, Lord Rosebery, “For the Squire” and the famous ‘‘Soap Buhbles”? The Apple Season. In August swnmer apples will have ripened and everybody ought to know | that the best thing he can do is to eat ap- ples just before retiring for the night. Per- sons uninitiated in the mysteries of the fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the visions of dyspepsia which such a suggestion may summon up, but no harm can come even to a delicate system by the eating of ripe and juicy apples just be- fore going to bed. The apple is an excel- lent brain food hecause it has more phos- | phoric acid in easily digested shapes than other fruits. liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This isnot all. The apple helps the kidney secretions and prevents calculous growths, while it obviates indigestion and is one of the best known preventives of diseases of the throat. One of the best known of the older physicians of Providence has a cus- tom of eating one, two, three and four ap- ples before going to bed, and finds himself much benefitted thereby.— Bulletin of Phar- macy, : Don't Care for England. The Democratic party at Chicago wisely eschewed all Republicanism. It is again the party of Jefferson and Jackson, with no higher ambition than to serve the American people and do their will. The Republican party would have us wait and ask England what she thinks of the free coinage of silver. The Democratic party doesn’t care a continental what England thinks about this or any other American question. Had George Washington con- sulted England this' free republic would never have heen. We would be the slaves of England today. as the Republican party would have us he her money slaves. It is un-American, unpatriotic, cowardly and contemptible for us to consult any Euro- pean power ahout the domestic policy of our government.—Cincinnati Inquirer.

The brave Norwegian, Dr. Nansen, al- though he failed to reach the North pole, the goal which he set for his recent expedi- tion, accomplished something during the Jong time in which he has been fighting his way to the extreme hyperborean regions. No Aretic explorer for many years has done as much as he has. He failed to demon- strate the correctness of his theory of heing carried by the currents acress the North pole and he was unable to reach that point, but he was achieved the distinction of get- ting nearer to it, with his one companion, with whom he has returned, than any | other person. Dr. Nansen attempted with his ship, the Fram, to follow out his program of drift- ing across the pole, hut he found that the currents would not carry him to his objec- tive point. He, therefore, left his vessel | with a companion and a team of dogs, struck northwards over the ice. When he left the Fram the crew was in good health ice, was drifting towards land. Over the icy fields floating on the Arctic ocean Nan- | sen journeyed towards the pole,.and made | considerable progress, considering the con- | ditions under which he traveled. But ob- stacles, which he could not surmount, stopped his journey northwards. The ice ton which he traveled was floating away | from the pole faster than he advanced to- wards it. His train of dogs was exhausted | and there was nothing else for him to do but give up his attempt. But he lowered all previous records, and not to a slight extent either. Heand his companion went farther north’ by almost 200 miles than i Lieutenant Lockwood, of the ill-fated i Greely expedition, who held the record | previously. Nansen went within 250 miles | of the pole. Had he a fresh train of dogs, | | | | | | | ! | | he would probably have been able to reach | —A railroad 700 miles in length is to be constructed from the coast of Africa into into the House of Commons passes. “The has heen known for decades pastas the Dark Continent,”” adds the “Troy Press,” “cannot be over-estimated.

To-day | the maps of Africa are almost as definite a those of this country half a century ago.” “When you make up your mind that the gold standard is.a had thing, then the only question you have to consider is how They can raise ob- jections to the plan which we propose, say- | ing that if coinage makes a silver dollar equal to a gold dollar, then it will be just as hard to get a silver dollar as it isto get a gold dollar. Do you know what they overlook ?' They overlook the “fact that when we bring silver into competition with ! gold we increase the supply of the stand- ard money ; that while the silver dollar will be worth as much as the gold dollar, it will be easier to obtain with the prod- ucts of toil a silver dollar or a gold dollar | than itis today.” — William J.

Important Result of the Fram's Trip Without Nansen. Christiania, Aug. 20.—Dr. Nansen’s Arc- tic exploring ship Fram, which he left im- bedded in the ice early in January, 1805, in latitude 83 degrees north, in order to explore the sea north of the route he pro- posed to follow, arrived at Skjervoe, Prov- ince of Tromso, last evening. The boat highest record made by Nansen. Captain Sverdrup reported all well on board. Shortly after his arrival he sent this telegram to Dr. Nansen :— “Fram arrived safely. All well on board. Leaves at once for Tromso, Wel- come home." Dr. Nansen replied to this message :— “A thousand times welcome to you and all. “Hurrah for the Fram.” After Dr. Nansen left the Fram she drift- greatest sea depth obtained by sounding The lowest tempera- ture noted was 52 degrees below zero. CALLED ON AXNDREE. The Fram called at Dane's Island Aug- ust 14th, and saw Professor Andree, who was still waiting for a favorable wind in or- der to enable him to attempt his balloon trip across the Arctic regions. The Fram left Skjervoe this morning on her way to Tromso, where Dr. Nansen will meet her. Additional reports concerning the expe- dition say that F. H. Johansen, the stoker, had a narrow escape from a terrible death. He was attacked by a polar hear, but was rescued by Dr. Nansen, who shot the ani- mal. Dr. Nansen gained 22 pounds in weight on his journey to Vardo after leaving the Fram. NEARLY REACHED THE POLE. A despatch to the ‘‘Aftenposten’ from Skjervo says that the Fram reached open water August 13th. A member of the ex- pedition expresses the opinion that the Fram would have penetrated much further into the Arctic regions and that perhaps the North Pole would have been reached if the Fram had been frozen in east of the | New Siberian Because it is the One True Blood Purifier.
