Wanted 1t ShingIed.

''Nexti' said q hairdresser in fash
ionable shop on State street, and some
surprise was created when young
woman seated herself and said: Il
want my hair sEingled."
The attendant, from his looks, evi-
IDENTIFY disliked the task. as he said
rather despondently: ''How do you
want it donep'
81 want it shingled.' -
''Yes, but howp / can single it three
or four ways, MISS" and the scissors
were lowering over her head, keeping
up mournful dirge as if lamenting the
loss of the locks.
Il want it shingled,n she exclaimed,
In an irritated voice, and her temper
evidently rising, as she continued, "but
if you cannot do it must go to some
hairdresser that can."
"Very well, MISS" exclaimed the
operator, las you please" and he
hastily snatched the wrapper from off
her as if in fear of her changing her
mind. The young lady sprang from
the chair and left the shop, banging
the door.
''What did she want?" asked one of
the regular customers.
"O,' was the reply. ''she wanted her
hair thinned, but she had heard the
term 'shingled' used, and did not fully
understand what it meant"
''Do you meet many such cases?"
Eyes, quite number; but | dislike
such jobs. Occasionally | meet men
who do not know what they want,
but woman is worse than half dozen
men," Hartford Telegram.

The Lily's Money.

Mrs. Langtry is coming money. Her
profits, since the season began, have
been over $4,000 a week. Mr.. Mendell,
her manager, banks her money for her,
and seldom goes below 81, 500 every
week lately. The Lily already consid-
ers herself Independently well off, and
with the end of the season she will
probably have about $4,000 of her
own, for she spends very little money.
There is nothing mean about her, but
there is no necessity whatever that she
should be lavish in expenditure. She
has a rather prettily furnished house
in New York, which she rents, and
where she lives with her mother, who
goes with her everywhere, and travel
ing, she, of course, lives in her parlor
car, and seldom goes to an hotel, un-
less in big city, where it would be
awkward going to a deserted railroad
track late at night. Altogether she is
very fond of her life, and has all the
excitement she wants in acting. She
says now that she could not give up
the stage and return to her lazy fash
ionable life of two years ago. She is
also happy in avoiding the notoriety
which attended her tour last year, but
even now feels little dread at going
west where the prying and spviDg of
the newspapers disturbed her beyond
measure. From that sort of thing she
has, so far, been free this season, and
devoutly hopes to continue so. She will
finish her tour at San Francisco this
year. and then take steamer for Aus
tralia, playing there six months, and
then going on to India and England,
where she will play for one year. Then
if she thinks America wants her again,
she will return. Wilianlsport Break

One Railroader Up in Details.

The complaint that Willard was too
big a man to understand the details of
railroad management, and that he real
lv never knew anything of Oregon
Transcontinental outside of making
mortgages, brings to mind the case of
an Ohio road. 1t had president after
president. and each one cooked his foot
on the office desk and let her rip She
had 'tripped" until the directors finally
got together and decided that the right
man must be found pretty soon or the
road must go to the wall. They were
consulting in room looking out into
the passenger depot. 4 train came in
eighteen minutes beeind time, and the
train-dispatcher booted the conductor
out of the door, fired the engineer out
of another, and run the fireman under
a freight train. He then backed the
train out and was coming back from
the yards when the directors met him,
and one of them asked:
''Mr. Thomas, can you accept the
presidency of this road?"
''Wait minute, was the reply, and
the man shunted three cars, cuffed a
switchman, drove two loafers out of
the yard, and returned and said:
''Why, yes. | suppose so-and the
first thing | shall do is to fire you all
out O here. Don't let me see you
around here again for six months. y
In year the road was paying a
dividend. Val Street Neios.

Mysterious Miners.

Last Chance is the last town along
the line of the Northern Pacific at
which liquor can be sold this side of
the Jacko Indian reserve, being imme-
diately on the line of the reserve. 1t
is about seventy-tive miles east of Her
on. Two Frenchmen recently came
into Last Chance, says the Kootenai
Udaho) Courier, who had been known
for years in the mining camps of Ore
gon and Idaho. They have created
sensation by the display of half-dozen
buckskin bags filled with gold dust and
nuggets, from the size of bird shot to
that of a walnut The story runs that
for years past these men have been in
the habit of spending most of their
time in the frontier camps, but now and
then they would disappear for a month
or six weeks and suddenly reappear
with their pouches well filled with dust.
OF course they are supposed to visit
some placer country of fabulous rich
ness, where, by a few days work, they
were able to extract the 81. 900 or $3,-
600 which they spend with lavish hand
during their sojourn in camp. At
tempts have been made to follow them
on tnelr excursions, WHICH usually re-
suited in their hiding in the mountains
and eluding pursuit, but one man
claims to have followed them into the
Kootenai country to point near the
British line, where q narrow path was
reached, and that while one went on
the other mounted guard with Win
chester rifle. He attempted to approach
the sentinel, but was ordered to halt,
accompanied by the discharge of the
rifle. The companion Immediately ap-
peared as if the shot was mutual un-
derstood signal, and the intruder was
ordered to leave the vicinity under
pain of death. The romantic setting
OF the story makes it extremely inter-
esting, and many of the old frontiers
men place implicit faith in its entire
truth, citing as a basis of their conf
dence the fact that the men do disap-
pear and invariably return with plenty
of gold; but we heard no satisfactory
reason given for the failure to find the
narrow pass and penetrate the mys-
teries beyond

''When was head keeper in Sing
Sing" said Police Captain Washburn,
'a man named Ulrich was serving a
term for counterfeiting. He was an
engraver by trade, and so good a work
man that the Warden employed him in
making dies. Ulrich was taken every
day to large cell especially used in
the prison for that class of work. Be-
fore being locked in he was searched,
and at meal times, and at the hour of
going to his own cell at night he was
searched again. By day keeper stood
outside his cell, watching through a
loop-hole in the strong door. Ulrich
was faithful and attentive to his work,
and did it we'll When the Warden
was informed by prisoner that Ulrich
was engraving plate for counterfeit
bank note he was surprised. just then,
you see, the Wings were in possession
of the prison, and the Democrats were
trying to turn them out The Warden
and were Wings, and we didn't pro-
pose to let anybody know that counter
feiting had been going on in prison.
We allowed Ulrich to continue his
work as usual. After the prisoners
had been locked up one night, we went
to the work-room, sounded the walls,
floor, and ceiling, and examined his
tools. We couldn't find anything, and
concluded that we had been misinform-
ed. We didn't know then what skill
full man Ulrich was. He hadn't made
his reputation. One day three Scotland
Yard detectives came to the prison.
They had been sent over by the Bank
of England TO talk with Ulrich. | was
present at the interview, and learned
for the first time that Ulrich had been
employed by the Bank of England in
its paper mills. He got the secret of
the manufacture and water-mark, and
ran away, and forged Bank of England
notes appeared. 1t was four years
after that the detectives heard cf his
arrest here for counterfeitirg. The7
offered Ulrich all manner of induce.
ments to tell them how lie had man
aged to get the paper from the mills
He laughed at them, and said he had
stolen no paper. Putting his hand on
a silk handkerchief on the neck of one
of the detectives, he said: Give me
that, and certain chemical prepara-
tions, tools, and presses, and | will
make you perfect Bank of England
note. They went away disappointed
''After learning what a formidable
fellow Ulrich was we watched him
closer than ever. He never gave sign
that he suspected we had been warned
One day the convict who had first in
formed the Warden asked to see him,
and told him that Ulrichs counterfeit
plate had left the prison. 1t had been
covered with tallow, wrapped in oil
silk taken from the prison hospital,
and sent to New York in pickel bar
rel. Pickles were made by contract in
the prison. You may just bet your life
that the Warden and were scared. We
watched the newspapers, and it was
not long before we read the announce
ment that a remarkably well executed
counterfeit s. note of the Connecticut
State Bank had been discovered. You
may rest assured that neither the
Warden nor | let the secret out until
long after we left the prison. N Y

He did look detected enough, as he
stood at the door, with his toes stray
ing out of his boots, the praying joint
OF his trousers worn very thin, and his
coat of mail in so many pieces that it
would be classed as third-class postal
matter and sent by freight. His voice
was of that tenuous character which
bespoke sympathy, as he said to the
lady of the house:

The Gay Head Indians inhabit the
| recently Incorporated town of Cav
| Head drought into notice by the wreck
of the Columbus), on the westerly end
OF the County of Dukes, which en-
braces the whole of the island of Mar
| tha's Vineyard. This indian town has
an area OF ahout'2. 400 acres. which is
| divided into three peninsulas, Nasha-
| qultsa, Squipnoeket and Gay Head.
| This town is nearly severed from the
| rest of the island by Menemsha pond.
At the present time there are about 200
Indians at Gay Head, and unlike many
other remnants of Indian tribes in the
| Commonweal h, they have for a few
years past been gradually increasing in
numbers. There are about fiftv famil-
les. and the people here have been
marked through a series of wears for
seeking more profitable sources of in
come than their isolated situation natu-
rally afforded, and some of them have
achieved some distinction as efficient
masters of vessels. The morals. edu-
cation and marked indications of civil
lZed advancement amono them are so
striking that they attract attention
among those who chance to visit their
sequestered island home.
Ii there is spot in all New England
where reeluse might wish to find per-
petual repose. free from the troubles
and anxieties of life, GAY Head is the
place, and yet the Gay Headers are
quite Jealous OF the influence and ap-
proaches of foreigners, having had "a
good deal OF trouble with those who
have married some of their daughters
and settled among them.
Formerly any member of this tribe at
Gay Head could take up, fence in and
improve as much of the land as he
pleased, and when inclosed it became
his own. 1t might very naturally be
inferred that such state of things
would engender many disputes and
quarrels, but such was not the case.
Such state of things was kind of
Emporium in imperio," not conducted
by any code of laws except bone and
muscle of those taking up the land.
The Gay Head Indians are a mixture of
the red, white and black races, and
there Is, too, some Southern blood
among them, and also Portuguese and
Dutch; for listen, here are some of the
names among them, o-wit: John Ran
dolph, Madison, Corsa. Sylvia and
Vanderhoop. Through the intermar.
rying and the coming in of foreigners it
has almost pushed out the purely In
dian names. They are, on the whole,
moral, a frugal, industrious and tenn
perate people, and are quite equal in
these respects to white people, with
similar surroundings. Boston Post.
