The latter declined to speak of his conversation with Mr. Ulame further than to say that he Mr. Blaine talked about the nomination in the same tenor that he has done many times previously in the past few months. The gossip was considerably augmented at a late hour to-night by the unexpected arrival in the city of - ex-Senator Thomas C. Flatt. ot New York. Mr. Piatt's visit was wholly. . divorced from politics. lie came here to visit bis son and daughter-in-law and to retnrn to New York with Mrs. Piatt, wno has been the guest of tier children for some days. Immediately upon the arrival at the hotel Mr. Piatt repaired to the room of his son and declined to see newspaper men. Among the visitors in the city to-day was ex-Senator Thomas V. Palmer, of Michigan. Mr. Palmer was asked his opinion of the political situation and responded briefly: "1 have been traveling over the country a great deal recently and have no more doubt of President Harrison's renomination and re-election than 1 have of my own existence." Mr. Palmer left to-night for the West. The advance movement upon Minneapolis has fairly set in. A number of politicians left the city to-night to establish them selves in Minneapolis for the pre liminary convention.

MS ' SKNATOK QUAY TALKS, And, as Might lie Expected, Tie Says Rlalne Will lie Nominate 1 Pittsbckg. May 29. The ComraeroialGazette, the recognized Quay organ of this city, will say to-morrow tbat Senator Quay thinks Blaine will be the nominee of the Minneapolis convention, and that he will be nominated on the first ballot. In an interview to-day Senator Quay spoke more ireely and positively on the presidential situation than, he has on any previous occasion. "Who do yon think the Republican convention will nominate for President!" was asked the Senator. "Ulaine,,? was the prompt reply, and as Mr. Quay uttered the name ot the Secretary he leaned forward in the arm-chair in .which be was resting and added: " lhat is, of course, providiug he will take the nomination." Do yon think he will accept it!" , 'Nobody but blame himself can answer that question; but he can scarcely atlord to turu a deaf ear to the call of his party." "What do you think of the New York story ttiut the Ulaine vote will be held back until the convention ees Harrison's nomination cannot be made?" T look upon that as one of the many finely woven imaginary tales tbat are being scattered over the country about Blaine. 1 believe he will be nominated on the nrst ballot." "What State do yon expect will first put Blaine in nomination!" "I cannot venturo a prediction in that.'1 'If Blaine is nominated who in your opinion will be given the second place on the ticket!" 0 that is an alter consideration. There are many good men to pick from. I really have not given the matter any serious thought." One or "Tom" Reed's Jokes. fctffJs 1w tbe Inainnapo:i Jourua . Washington, May 2a Ex-Speaker Reed, it is said, was jokingly asked by a Republican associate after his return from New Y'ork, Friday, referring to the report that he had joined the Blaine forces, if it were true, as reported, that the lion and the lamb had lain down together. "It is," replied Mr. Reed, "and, as they say in the 'Pirates of Penzance,1 in the customary attitude." "How do you like it!" "Well, it is not altogether comfortable, but there are others that 1 can imagine who are even more uncomfortable." Each Carried Ilee:h-Tree Branch.' CorExiiAUKN, May 29.

The carrying out of three points would probably revolutionize the whole condition of service: First, the relation should bo put upon an absolutely commercial basis, and made as honorable as mechanical, or factory, or store service, fcecond. duties and hours should be clearly deiined. There should be no interference in personal matters. There should be no more personal interest expected or ohown thau is the ruie between any other employer and employe). Third, if it were possible to induce yearly euuagements they should be the rule, for when people know they have to put up with each other for twelve mbntbs they are more inclined to be patient and forbearing. They learn to make the best of each other's ways, and bearing becomes liking and habit strengthens liking, anil so tbry go on and on. and are-pretty well satisfied.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal Columbus, O., May 29. The threatening weather kept many- away from to-day's game, but. in spite of the lowering clouds, about 2,5C0 spectators saw the tail-enders beat the leaders in a pretty contest. Madden was wonderfully effective, and kept the hits so scattered that Columbus could get but one run. Berger, at short, showed up in hit-paralyzing form, mailing eleven double-cinch stops. The only error of the game was his high throw of Walsh's grounder in the third inning. This error was not costly, as Qninn caught the venturesome rnnner easily a moment later at second. Hick Carpenter caught several foul tiys in masterly style, while Genins took care of second as a master of that diflicult position. A qneer play occurred in the first inning. Genins had been retired, and O'Brien had gone to first on balls, when Lawrence, in trying to get ontof the way of a ball, rapped it down to wards first. O'lirien was caught at eecond by Breckenridge's throw to Walsh, and, as Lawrenco supposed the ball had gone foul, he did not attempt to run, and was easily retired in a laughable double play. This was all the result of poor coaching. O'Brien was unable to bat hard, his left hand being badly bruised; indeed, he only swung at the ball witn his right hand. in tho fatal seventh inning Indianapolis won the game. After Campau had taken care of O'Brien's long lly, Lawrence was sent to first on balls. "Grandpapa Carpenter then hit safe to left and Letcher drove one to the left-held fence for three bags, scoring two runs. Berger's line drive went into Walsh's hands and Nagle popped up a foul which Merritt got under. In Columbus's half, Laliy led off with a clean triple to right, aud McClellan Hew out to left. Breckenridgo caught one fair and it struck the fenoe in left field just under the top. Lally scored and Breckenridgo got as far an second, where he was forced tobecome mildewed as noooe could bring him home. Genins displayed great nerve when Campau spiked him badly for the Dew roan went right on, though with a decided limp for a time.

One of the Mnrdereru of Saunders Arrested in Florida Hunting the Wrong Man. Jacksonville, Fla., May 29. For three days officers of tho Southern Express Company, three sheriffs and several armed posses, with bloodhounds, have been scouring the country penetrated by the railroads leading out of Palatka for Bob Floyd, the fourth one of the robbers who killed Messenger Saunders at Monroe Junction on the morning of May 21.

Instead of Being a Check to Conversation h Deaf Man May Give Pleasure, fienhoer's Magsxlne. To be handsomely and agreeably deaf if a very elesant accomplishment, lit to exercise social talents of a high order. The person who aspires to it must checic in a considerable measure a deaf person's natural tendency to shun society and tlock by himself. He must continue to mix. witn his fellows, and when he does so must in so far conceal his infirmity as to make it a cause of discomfort to none hot himself. r However little be hears bo must never seem unduly desirous to bear more, or yet indilferent to what is being said. However - impossible it may be for him to take part in conversation, he must neither permit himself to be bored nor to appear so. It is bis business alwars to have the means of entertaining himself in bis own head, so that while he continues in company bis mind may be constantly and aicreeably occupied, however little he may bear. In almost any comoany a deaf man to whom tbiugs tbat have been said bave to be repeated is a check to free discourse; a deat man who is eager to hear and cannot is a discomforting sUbt: a deaf man who is bored tnd wishes himself elsewnere is a depressing influence; in either case he bad better go elsewhere. The tolerable deaf man is one who, being in congenial company, can give pleasure by his intro presence, as he can take pleasur? in merely having his friende about him. His thoughts must run. not on what he cannot bear, but on what he sees and feels, and upon the ideas that come into hi own mind. A deat man who is always able to entertain himself, and who is ulwaya glad, and never overanxious to know what is going on about bim, has reasonable ground- for believing that at least ho is not an incubus npon society. If to hie negative accomplishment l' can add the habit of having something worth hearing to say. he can even hope to be considered agreeable, and to have his society as welcome to ordinary eolfish people as to tho more benevolent. . i The Only Thing to Fear from Him.
