Jewesses and Wigs.


Jewish ChrOn icle.
There is a remarkable mystery surrounding
the origin of the custom of the Jewish wo-
men cutting off their hair and donning a wig
on their marriage. The stubborn adherence
to this custom suggested the plot of the
gloomy story which concludes the Jews of
Barnow." Even in the present day the Gus
tom is still observed by the ultra-orthodo X.
The effects of the custom were supposed to
give a clue to its origin.
There was undoubtedly too much reason
in the middle ages for Jewesses to be eager
to make themselves as unattractive as pos
sible. The custom of cutting off the hair of
the bride on the wedding day is not men
toned IN the Talmud. According to Mish-
nah Ketuboth (vol. O. it is contrary to Jewish
custom for married women 10 appear in the
street with head uncovered. Out OF modesty
the custom was also observed in the house,
and in order to remove the possibility of
yielding to temptation the hair-serving no
longer as an ornament, but being a superlu-
Gus weight on the head-was entirely cut OF.
According to Mishnah Nazir Gv., 81 the
cutting off the hair is considered q disfig-
urement, which the husband could veto in
case of his wife being a Nazarite. Some
few believe that the custom dates from the
very earliest times, and that they found their
opinion upon the allusion thereto in Deuter-
onomy xxi, IL. Referring to the mode pre-

OF public interest and his personal knowledge
of men and measures are remarkable. To this
add that rare accomplishment, which is pc

the truth with penurious frugality-and we
have a flood of electric light thrown upon

An Alleged ouibble on the Part of the As
sistant Secretary.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury French has fur
nished for publication a statement in re-
gard to the charges against Supervising
Architect Hill. He denies all knowledge OF
any charges. This is a mere bubble, The state
ment made was that charges had been pre-
pared for consideration by Secretary Folger.
Assistant Secretary French is not the proper
person to pass upon such charges, as
he is the head who has approved of all
Hills work, and some years ago, when
charges were preferred against contractors
for fraud, Mr.. French's department sup
piled the accused with early copies of
the charges and gave them access
to the records of the department. before the
prosecuting officers had opportunity to ex-
mime them. The opinion is that it would
be unwise to put a new inquiry
into the hands of Assistant Secretary French
1t is said a good deal of evidence can be
found against Supervising Architect Hill:
The great public notoriety given the case OF
Architect Hill has induced him to inquire
into the nature of the charges against him.

BLOOMINGTON, March 16.-Quite a serious
defalcation has been discovered in the Office
of the Chicago & Alton railway in this city,
the exact proportions of which are not
known. The clerk of the Office, a man
named Blake, married man who came here
from the East some months since, a few
weeks ago shipped his family East, and
about ten days ago he went away ostensibly
for a short trip. Agent Burns began to sus-
pect something was wrong, and telegraphed
for the auditor of the road to come at once.
This the auditor did, and an examination
was begun. 1t was soon apparent that steal
ing had been Systematically carried on for
some time. This was managed by holding
back way bills, and in other ways, with re-
markable success and adroitness.

A Costly Wreck at the Crossing of the Chi

A Costly Wreck at the Crossing of the Chi
cago & Alton and Illinois Central.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, March 16.-A very costly
and destructive railway collision occurred
this morning at Normal, two miles
from Bloomington. at the crossing
of the Chicago & Alton and the
Illinois Central. A Chicago & Alton freight,
northbound, was about half way over the
Illinois Central, and running at high speed,
when a north-bound freight of the latter
road, pulled by one locomotive and pushed
by another, crashed into it. The wreck was
fearful. Six or eight cars loaded with Texas
stock were thrown from the track and
smashed. The head locomotive of the Him
OILS Central was thrown from the track, to-
ward the right, and crashed into the
station-house and platform, wrecking both
badly; eight or ten cars loaded with railroad
iron oilowed the engine. The engineer and
fireman on the Illinois Central jumped, es-
Gaping with slight injuries. The other train
men were more or less bruised, but not Sc
riously injured. Eight or ten Texas steers
were killed outright.

lision was the carelessness of the Chicago &
Alton engineer, together with a misunder-
standing of the signal given by the depot
Waterman. The Chicago & Alton went to
work Immediately to clear up the wreck.
Both roads were blocked all day. The Chi
cago & Alton road sent their passenger
trains around via Ell Paso and Chenoa, using
the track of the Illinois Central and of the
Wabash. The Illinois Central passed round
via the Chicago & Alton to Bloomington,
and across the city via the Indiana, Bloom
ington & Western.
One specimen of the omnipresent tramp
was in a car in which five steers were killed,
and crawled out of the wreck sound in body,
But fairly saturated with blood from the
cattle.
