MRS. ELAINE DEAD.
Widow of th Distinguished States
man Breathed Her Last at the
Old Homestead.
Mrs. James O. Blnlno died at the
Uinlno homo.Uead, Augusta, JKe., July
15, 1903. Mrs. Hlnlno wan 711 years
"f age. From Washington, a short
time :-.go, she came to thold fnmlly
residence on State street, Aupusta.
She was In an orrfevbled condition,
and had been under ulmost constant
iM.tllcul iiil-'ni'on Fine?. Duri'ig tho
piisl week rl'e failed rapidly; her con
Oil Ion wns cue to a general break
down of th system. Harriot H. Stan
wood, which was the maiden name of
Mrs. Blnlno, was born In 1W0 at An-
Ki.::.a. M'?., whither her parents had
moved from Ipswich, .Miss. In 1848,
Biter being educated at home by pri
vate teachers, tie Joined hvr si. iters,
Caroline and Sarah, l;i Kentucky,
where tliwy wero teaching In tho fe
male collegiate institute at George
town. The slaters were all women of
good education. Harriet being tho
brightest both in her menial and social
qualities and a general favorlta. Tho
principal of the Georgetown Institute,
where tho Misres Stanwood wero
t-.achlng, had organized In that place
la IS 17 tho Western Military Inatlttita.
In October of that year James Ollles
ple Blnlno, a Pennsylvanlan by birth,
a graduate of Washington College, and
only 18 years of ago, assumed the po
sition of assletant professor of Latin
and Greek In tho military institute,
and In tho following year succeeded
to the full professorship of languages.
In 1S50 the female collegiate Institute,
with Its staff of teachers, was removed
to Mlllnrshurg, tho county scat of
Hourbon county, and about the same
time the military institute was re
moved to Blue Lick. During the two
years of tho lattar's location In George
town, Mr. Blaine and Miss Stanwood
became close friends, and ultimately
an engagement was followed after sep
aration of tho two Institutions by their
marriage In tho parlor of the semin
ary at Mlllcrsbiirg. This ceremony
took place on June 30, 1850, In the
presence, as Mr. Blaine himself has
written, of chosen and trusted friends.
It was, however, performed without
taking out the license required by the
laws of Kentucky as an Indispensable
requisite of a legal marriage. In view
of this fact, although the legality of
tho marriage was recognised by the
Pennsylvania law, Mr. and Mrs. Blaine
were again married In the presence of
witnesses in the city of Pittsburg In
March, 1851. Mrs. Blaine was the
mother of seven children. She leaves
one son, James G. Blaine; two daugh
ter.!, Mrs. Harriet Benle and Mrs. Wal
ter Damrosch of New York, who were
at her bed Hide during her last sick
ness. The funeral services were held
in Augusta, and the body burled at
Washington.

ment that the war debt and the Phil

under the advertisement and the coin
will be sold to tho highest bidder, un
less the state department sees some
objection to this proceeding.

R. O. Dun A Co.'s "Weekly Review
of Trade" says: Conditions continue
satisfactory outsldo the region of sko
ulatlun, r.iasy roports indicating fur
thci improvumunt. During recent
month the two disturbing factors
havo been labor controversies and
weather conditions, but earh week has
brought hotter things In those two re
spelts until the outlook contains much
that Is encouraging. Crops are mak
ing rapid prtigross, nnd the nrmy of
unsmpkiyod is diminishing. Railway
trnllic is lyavy, earrrina thus far re
ported for July eneevrilcg InRt year's
l y 13.8 p:r cent and those of l!H't by
19.5 per ppt. Unsettled conditions
rtlll exist in forge nml foundry pig
Iron markets, while Itcsemer Iron Is
only barely steady. Tlr: chief difficulty
appears to be the Inclln&'hm of pros
pective purrhEsrrs to wait for the low-i.-it
possible quotations. Thh Is a con
dition to bo exierted in a declining
marl; tit, hut appears unusually aggra
vating In tho pifsent Instance. Cur
rent consumption Is heirvy and the
delay Is only In connection with dis
tant deliveries. Structural eteel be
gins to refloct the settlement of labor
troubles in tho building trades, but
several Important undertakings have
boon postponed until next year, two
large buildings at Pittsburg being con
spicuous examples. Merchant stool
and plpo are In bt-ttor demand, sev
eral largo contrarls being unlor nego
tiation. Steel rails aro sold woll Into
ljiit and other railroad equipment Is
still one of the best features In the
Industry. Southern Iron furnaces and
steel mills are affected adversoly by
the coal miners' strike, although there
Is a belief that settlement will not
long he delayed. It la a season of un
certainty In the manufacture of cotton
goods, and nothing In the nature of
.improvement can be expected until the
artificial position of the raw material
is radically altered. Western Jobbers
are operating freely In the Boston foot
wear market, both on contracts for
spring goods and supplementary fall
ordfcrs. Eastern wholesalers are also
purchasing additional fall supplies,
and New England factories are fully
occupied. Failures this week were
213 In the United States against 213
last year, and 16 In Canada compared
with 20 a year ago.
Bradstreets says: The Iron trade Is
quiet enough on the surface, but pro
duction and consumption are alike
enormous, though pressure of the lat
trr tends to ease in quotations for
Iron and steel. Western markets note
reductions in pig iron and billets, with
a large business done at the conces
sions, and Southern iron has been cut
without evoking much new business.

The Attractive Room.
The one way of making a room at
tractive Is by tho Judicious uso ot
color, says the Architectural Record.
The ordinary dining room or sitting
room of our houses in city or country
Js not susceptible of decoration by
means of form. Tho furniture, the
movable objects In the room, will be
so much more In the range of vision
they will assert themselves so much
more positively than will the moldings
of the dado or the door trims, or oven
than any plaster ribs and: scrolls upon
the, celling, that those attempts at
decorating the room by such simple
devices aa we use for the exterior will
be of no account.
The moldings may as well be very
simple. Nothing will be gained by
notching and gouging, nothing by dog
teeth or zig-zag, nothing by carving,
unless of rlchnoss and elaboration be
yond our present assumption. Even
tho mantelpiece, even tho decorative
treatment Of the whole chimney
breast, cannot take you far. Beware
of tho mantelpiece; nothing Is more
dangerous than that feature when the
architect feels that his only chance
to show what he ran do there.
The thing to strive for is color,
beauty of color, and this may bo rich
and deep, brilliant and wrought
through many gradations, or pale and
cool, In two or three divergont tints
rathrr than hues, varieties of gray
rather than approaches to the prima
ry colors. One Is asked for permis
sion to photograph his room bacause
It has struck the eye ot the kindly vis
itor as exceptionally attractive; but
one refuses. If he Is wise, on the ex
press ground Jhat what has pleased
has been the harmony of coloring In
wall and celling, In rugs and draperies,
In water colors on the walls and vases
on the shelves.
Harmony of color, refinement ot col
or, richness ot color even, are within
the reach of those who have the gift,
but there is no possible way of open
ing the eyes of those who have It not,
or of persuading them that they must
ask some one else to arrange their
room for them. That Is one thing
which cannot be taught to any lady n
the land, that she has not, if she has
not, an eye for color, or at least that
she has not the gift at working In
color.
