A Kleptomaniac Hangs Herself. Wa?hihgto5, Feb. 25 Special. Oar usually quiet city was startled this mornin;; bv the announcement of the suicide of M i a. Mary Harrod in the county jail. Mrs. H-irrod's former residence was in Vinc iinea, and before that at Louisvill, Ky. She came here about two years ago and bearded with various families, and at every place took some household article away with her. Nothing was done to bring her before the courts until she removed to the McCarty IIoteL From there she went back to Vincennes, but Mr. McCarty, missing some articles which he knew she only could have taken, procured her arrest at Vincennes and had her brought to this city for trial. Though she stoutly proclaimed her innocence, the evidence a.aint her pointed so strongly to her guilt that she was bound to court under bond of $200. Being unable to give bond she was remanded to jail, to which place she went weeping, disheveling her hair and beating her nose until it bled profusely. Sue claimed to be a sister of Judge Norris, of Columbus, Onio. This morning about 10 o'clock, while Colonel Hardy was holdiog an interview with her with a view to getting her released from jail, she told him she was going to kill herself to-day, but he, thinking nothing of such an assertion, paid no attention to it. But scarcely had he left the cell before she must have proceeded to carry out the threat, for twenty minutes later, as the Deputy Sheriff came through the corridor of the jail, he saw her half reclining and suspended by a towel fastened to the door of her cell. He immediately cut her down. She was not quite dead, but restoratives failed to revive her. She was an unfortunate kleptomaniac, and, it seems, could not help stealing, for she gave away all she stole. DuUois Countv Has Good L.nck.

WHY BLAINE WITHDREW. irnic Charge Which the Maine 31 aa Is I'nwlUing t Face. Washington Correspondence N. Y. Times. J Some of the Blaine men who have insisted since the publication of the Florence letter that it ia an entirely "sincere" declination in advance of the nomination for President, are giving reasons for their belief that may help the hesitating public to come to their conclusions and to pronounce the letter all that its brilliant author could have meent it to be, These men admit that Mr, Blaine concluded to refuse to be a candidate because he could not win. To one ot the prominent Western Republicans, who is likely to be a warm supporter of Mr. Sherman, Mr. Blaine communicated in lsst his doubt as to the possibility of defeating the Democratic candidate. He saw clearly enough that the personal hostility to him would b6 intense. He dreaded to meet it and feared its consequences. Ths "considerations entirely personal to himeelf," of which he speaks in his letter to Mr. Jones, and of which Mr. Jones appears to have been advised by Mr. Blaine, are supposed to be known to many of Mr. Blaine's friends. That they will ever be made known is doubtful, now that Mr. Blaine declares that he will not be a candidate. But from a Republican, of the highest personal character, a gentleman ot national reputation, who is not favorably inclined toward the Democratic party, a statement was received by the Times' correspondent that lends at feast a momentary significance to the remark about "considerations entirely personal" to Mr. Bla'.ne, This gentleman catd to-day that Mr. Blaine could not attempt to face the trial of another campaign. He would be confronted not only with all the old charges against him that made him objectionable to a great many strong Republicans, but he would be compelled to meet others still more damaging, and then, as if to give point to this grave suggestion, the gentleman added: "Mr. Blaine is indebted to Mr. Cleveland, his opponent in the fight of lS.i, for the suppresoion of. charges affecting his personal character that he knew could not be kept back during another campaign. It waa for this reason, and in order to avoid the disagreeable, and per haps fatal, eaect which these publications might have, that he concluded to refuse to subject himself to a trifling ordeal," What the nature of these suppressed chargea is-It ia unnecessary and perhaps useless to inquire, if it depended upon the President whether they became public property, It is sa!o to say that the Democrats would never be able to use them." Juvenile L04IC. fSan Frac'sco Chronicle.1 'She had taken the curly-haired boy on her knoe, and was telling his mother, on whom she was calling, how handsome he was, and all that sort of thing. Tbe conversation was on marriage, and she was telling some story about man who bad lest his license when he was going to be married. "Cf course he couldn't get married without o license." Tbe curly-headed boy looked up. "Did you have a license when you were married?" "Yes, cartainly, Bobby." The boy climbed up and began pulling down the ruchlng about her neck. "What are you doing, child?" "I don't see no license." "I don't carry a license around my neck, deer." "Well, all the dogs do; they've eot to." This does not seem to be an isolated case of childish reasoning. A small boy who had get a dog had been led on to the same subject, and wanted to know from his mother about marriage licenses. She showed him her wedding ring, and told him very prettily that was the license. She was going out one day and she dropped it. It rolled out of sight, and the small boy waa under the Bofa looking for it. "What are you looking for?" his sister asked him, "Mamma lost her tag, and ia afraid to go out without it, 'cause she'll be snaked in." Condition of Kaoc Cattle. Dzsvr.it, CoL. Fe. 26. R. G. Head, President of the International Range Association, and largely interested in the range cattle business, returned to-niht from an extensive trip in Southern Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. In an interview he ftated that the reports circulated in the East that the loss of range cattle thia winter would reach from 50 to 75 per cent, is absolutely false. He said that from personal observation he knew that tbe range cattle in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Indian Territory, Wyoming and a portion of Arizona, were never In better condition, at this season of the year, than at present, and that the losses this year would be comparatively nothing; that while the stock in not suffering for f 3ed, snow is needed in Wyoming, Colorado and Northern New Mexico, while Southern New Mexico, Texas and tbe Indian Territory have had an abundance of rain, thereby insuring hardy grass. There has been some mortality among the cattle in a small part of Arizona and Tex is, south of the Pan Handle, caused principally by overcrowing ranges. Mr. Head prophesies that in tbe next two years the price of cattle will advanse, and those who have held their stock through the depression for the past three years will reap a great financial harvest A Matter ot uf e and Death.

TWELFTH DISTRICT POLITICS

The SitaaUoa X,uidlr Explained Vj aa Casters JoatnaL. I New York Herald. 1 Congressman J. B. White is now among the frequent visitors at the Fifth Avenue. Be haa become a monstratus digito because of lbe recent attempt to deprive him of hla seat in the National Legislature. In appearance he is not particularly striking, Bave for an aggressively bald head and a gait reminiscent of the military. Daring the recent debate In Congress relative to the legality of Mr. White'a election, the circumstance of his service In defense of the Union waa dwelt upon insistently, but the picturesque fact waa not brought out that for fully ten years after the close of the war "Captam" White wore, when the weather permitted, one of thos3 familiar army overcoats whose jaunty caoe, peculiar blue and brass buttons made the wearer a marked figure in the stubby landscape ol wl.WKtfnvTm'!e where h White, by the bye, IB probably among the wealthiest of tbe men in Congress. A disgruntled Indian politician says that the gentleman owes his victory over his Demecratlc opponent, Robert Lowry, entirely to the eüorts of Holman, tbe Great Objector, and he colors thia statement with a recital piQuantly illustrative of the gOEsip of a country town. White, it seems, ia the owner of a prosperous grocery store at Fort Wayne. Mr. Hoiman's nephew, Montgomery Hamilton who, by the way, ia a very distant relative of tDe Duke of Hamilton also conducts a grocery establishment, but on thewholessl acale. Mr. White is among his best customers, but, for all that, Mr. Hamilton tried his level best to eeenre the Democratic nomination for Congress, and assured hia friends that h's valuable business relations with Mr. White would not prevent him from making a hot fight against the Repu;l:can candidate. To tbe rurpriseof all th? Indiana politicians, however, Hamilton, Respite his wealth and family prestige or, possibly, because of them failed to get the Democratic nomination, which went to Lowry. Thereupon, Hamilton, piqued by defeat or else prompted by the kindl intereet which a merchant always feels i:r a customer, went in and worked ltke Trojan for the election of Wnite, the l:-pnbiican. And when some Indiana Democrat3 Bought to prevent the seating ot White through some legal quibbling, Hamilton at once called upon hia "uncle Holman" to do his utmost to resist the movement. Holman assured his colleagues that "any attempt to defeat the will of the people of Allen County the Demoratic banner district of Indiana would cost the party the State in the election next fall." The potency of this argument was evinced by the victory of White. FANCA75E3 IN VAKIETY. On cold winter mornings pancakes of all kinds hold an important pace at the breakfast table. The cheribhed buckwheat cake, mcst prominent ot all, from Thanksgiving Day unti' arly spring, is seldom absent from th morning meal in the genuine American household. When properly made, this is the most delicious of all the griddle cakes, but it haa been against it when made from yeast or risen over eight that it was difficult to rr light aiid sweet, and that disagreeable ejects frequently followed its eating. It is found that by tbe use of the Royal Baking Powder to raise the batter, these objec:ions have been overcome, and that buckwheat cakes are made a most delicious food, light, sneet, tender and perfectly wholesome, that can be eaten by anyone without the slightest digestive inconvenience. Once tested from the following receipt no other will be used: Two cups of buckwheat, one cup of wheat Hour, two tablespoofuls of Roval Baking Powder, one half teaspoonful of salt, all sifted well together. Mix with milk into a thin batter and bake at once on a hot griddle. The purest and richest syrup ia made by dissolving sugar In the proportion of tnree pounds of tugar to one pint of water. Many perpona prefer tbe flavor of syrup made of Orleans sugar to that made of the white. Rice griddle cakes are very delicious. The rice is cooked until perfectly soft, drained dry, mashed with a spoon until the grains are well broken up. For each cup ful cf rice take two eggs, one pint of mux, oie heaping tabieepoontul of Royal Baking Powder, one half teaspoonful of salt, aud flour enough to make a thin battsr. For hominy cakes take two cupfuls of cooked hominy, and crush it with a potato masher until it is a smooth mass. Add one level teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfa!? of Royal Baking Powder, and one cui f al of tiour. Stir together; then add by decrees one quart of milk, and lastly three wt-11 baten eggs. Bake in thin cakes. Very delicate and delicious cakes are made by allowing two tablespoonfuls of Rojal Biking Powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt to one quart of milk, and sufficient cornmeal, mixing all into a thin batter; no eggs or butter are used for these. The cakes bake quickly to a rich, dep brown, and are extremely tender and light. A very delicious, sweet pancake ia mads by taking one pint of sweet milk, four egs, two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, to tableepconful8 of melted butter, one taispoonlulof Royal Baking Powder, and flour enough to make a moderately thia batter. Beat the eggs, whites and yolks separately, until well frothed, stir the but'er, sugar and one cupful of tl jur, into which the baking powder haa been mixed, into the yolks, then add the milk. If needed, add more ilour. Bike in smill cakee, butter each one as It comes from the fire, place four in a pile, with very thla layers of any kind cf sweet jelly between, and powdered sugar over the top. Tuey should be baked very thin aud four eerved to each person. Ibat Digbway of Nations, The broad Atlantic, is ever a stormy thoroughfare.
