Show Condition of Mrs. J. G. Blaine, Jr. Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has about abandoned hope. Instead of getting better, bet-ter, she is, if anything, a trifle worse. Medical science does not seeir. to be able to alleviate, yet alone cure, her inflammatory inflam-matory rheumatism. It is not likely that she will ever go on the stage. She has not been out of her sick room in months. Most of the time she is in bed with her unfortunate leg in a plaster cast. . She ia. a patient sufferer, and never complains, although the cup of sorrow was pressed to her lips very early in life. Her baby boy is progressing finely, and is a bright, healthftil looking little sprite the only sunbeam that brightens its mother's room. Some of her friends are still, loyal, but they are few. There have been times when poverty crossed the threshold of the sick room, and the poor creature would have suffered for the necessaries of life but for the interposition interposi-tion of friends. Of the ones who have proved faithful none is more deserving of credit than the English maid-of -all-work, who has served Mrs. Blaine without with-out pay, and at times has drawn upon her savings of years to keep the wolf from the door.
