the literary world" says M. Durand Gre
vile, eff Tourguenef had been killed by
Telstoi before he had completed Fathers
and Sons or Tolstoi had been shot by Tour
guenef when he was working out the plan
of his magnificent novel called War and
Peace" Tolstoi, who is a good Christian
despite the scorrful manner in which he for
merly spoke of the Christian religion, one
day had a noble inspiration and wrote to
Tourgueneff: "You are now sixty and am
fifty: Shall we forget the paste" To this,
in May of 1877. Tourguenef replied in a let
tendsr-hearted nature of the man as well as
his executive workmanship in style. Later
on, when they met at Tourgueneff's estate in
Russia, they became close and intimate
friends and SO renamed until Tourgueneff's
death. The last letter which the great mas
ter wrote was penciled on bit of paper on
July 10, 1888. 1t is worth quoting entirely
here as the final words of distinguished
novelist, and an evidence of the exclusive
generosity and justice of his character. It
runs thus: "My good and dear friend-It
is long since l have written you, because I
ives and l am, to speak frankly, on my
death-bed. There is no use in thinking
acout getting well. 1 write you above all
to say to you how happy 1 am to have
been your contemporary and to send you my
last and pressing prayer. My friend, go
back to literature. Believe me, this gift was
oohS yOO lEo" lie udnu WHICH S6QQS all
things. All! how happy should be if
should think that my prayer would have
some influence on you. AS for me am un-
done. The doctors do not even know how
to call my malady and talk about neuralgia
gout of the stomach. can neither walk nor
eat, nor sleep; but why should weary my
self to tell thisa All comfort gone. My
friend, great writer of our Russian land, give
ear to my prayer. Let me know if you have
received this bit of paper and permit me to
embrace you tenderly, you, your wife and all
yours. I can write no more. l am worn
out. AS M. Durand Greville says, the man
who could inspire such letter doubtless felt
better than anyone that duty which was
plainly marked out for him. This urgent
request of Tourgueneff that Tolstoi should
give up his various crazes as to reforming
the world, the way of religion, the making
over of the peasantry into something strong
ly resembling archangels, altogether too
good for this world, will probably be needed
and has found an echo among the great
masses of intelligent Russians.

A NOTABLE DECISION

Perhaps in no State has 'tthe company
store" fourished more than in Pennsylvania.
It became SO successful and SO oppressive
that the legislature was appealed to, and a
few years ago an act known as the Anti-Store
Order act was passed. The law has, we be-
lieve, done not little toward relieving work
ingmen from very disagreeable and un-
profitable state of bondage. But some who
we're interested in the old order of things
brought the law to the attention of the Su-
preme court, and this court has just decided
that it is unconstitutional. Judge Gordon
in his decision said that "the act is an in
fringement alike of the rights of employer
and employe, and it is an insulting attempt
to put the 1aborer under legislative tute-
lage."
This will seem a strange decision to those
who have suffered under the company
store" system. It is certain that they have
discovered nothing in the act which is in
sulting to them, or which takes away from
their freedom. On the contrary they have
felt glad to be supported by the law in their
resistance to very disagreeable form of op-
preston. They have not felt insulted be-
cause something has been done to save them
from the loss consequent upon compulsory
trading at the company store. AS the New
York Tribune puts it: The legislature of
Pennsylvania was appealed to to deliver the
laborers from a species of thraldom; for it is
certainly thraldom when man is not at
liberty to buy his food and clothing wherever
he chooses. The case was one in which labor
was powerless to relieve itself. 1t demanded
and obtained protection from the State. To
tell the benefciaries under the act of 1881
that they were degraded by law which re-
stored their Independence to them is assur-
edly not calculated to increase their respect
for the courts, or to convince them that they
have been mistaken in suspecting that there
was one law for the rich and another for the
poor. In short, the decision appears to be
alike unfortunate and ill-timed, and if it is
sound law its victims will be apt to think
anything but admiringly of the jurispru-
dence of which it is an example.

The Reynolds Nom1nation

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
AS a lifelong Democrat most emphatieal-
ly protest against the nomination of Mr..
Reynolds as a disgrace to the party and an
insult to every respectable voter. The open
ballot was a scheme sprung upon the conven-
ton for no other reason than to injure our
candidate, Hon. Charles A. Tomlinson, in
the start Mr. Tomlinson has been a lifelong
Democrat and worker, and has spent thou
sands of dollars in the cause. Mr.. Reynolds,
on the contrary, is what might be called
political renegade, who owes his support to
the Democratic party for many years past
and now claims to own and run the same.
Personally 1 shall take the greatest pleas
ure in supporting the regular Republican
nomination for sheriff, and am confident
there are enough honest Democrats left in
New Haven county to lay out stiff this New
Haven Caesar in the Ides of November next.

society less highly developed, the arrest of

terry upon some unknown and possibly un-
harmed Christian, would be considered more
or less of an anomaly. Here it must be con-
sidered simply ironical. The only diff
Guilty which can arise would be found in des-
ignating the crime if, by any chance, one of
the hoodlums who smashed the windows and

WHY MEN BECOME BALD.
The Effect of Strong Gas1ight.
IE-o,,, tho Nayu vork Mail and Fxnress

The EHect OF strong GasuSnt.
From the New York Mail and Express.1
ssDid you ever notice what class of men
are most commonly bald?" asked an expert
hair-dresser of a reporter the other day.
"That throws a good deal of light on the
causes of badness. People give all kinds OF
explanations for dissipation, cutting the
hair too short, letting it grow too long,
smoking, drinking strong coffee, worry,
wearing high hats, wearing low hats, wear
ing your hats indoors, not wearing it out
doors, late hours and a hundred other things.
Now you will notice that there are no classes
of men more frequently bald than retail
statesmen, bookkeepers and Office clerks in
certain lines of business. Why should bald
ness affect them more than othersf Because
they habitually stand or sit nearly every
evening under gaslights. Bookkeepe1s al
ways have a strong light right over their
heads or just in front of them. So do clerks
who have to work at night. Retail statesmen
sell goods at night directly under two power
full burners, and most of the time their
heads are not more than two or three feet
from the flame. The artificial heat dries out
the hair, makes it brittle and unhealthy and
finally kills it at the root. If you will pass
your hand through your hair after you have
been standing under gaslight for few mo-
ments you will see at once how it is. AL
though you may not have noticed the heat
on your head, your hair, if you have got
any, will be hot to the roots. You'll be sur
prised to observe too at what a distance from
the light the hair will absorb the heat. Now
there is nothing SO bad for the hair as get
ting it dry. That is why the use of water
on it is so injurious-because 1t evaporates
SO readily and takes with it the natural oil
of the hair Your hair should be moist all
the time and with the oil that is secreted by
the little cells at the roots. When the oil is
continually and rapidly dried out, as it is
when the head is kept heated by gaslight,
the cell dries up and the hair falls out. Peo
pie who sit under the gaslight should wear
some kind of COOL non-conducting head
gear to protect themselves. I have an idea
too that after the electric light has been in
universal use for generation or two bald
less will be as scarce it was before gas
lights and night work got common together"

rOLsrOI AND TOURGUENEFF.
Their Enmity and Reconciliation-A
Pathetic Letter.

Edward King in the Boston Journal
M. Durand Greville has enjoyed during
his residence in Russia and his long stay
here (Paris) since his wife made such
brilliant success with her books exception
al opportunities for collecting the materials
which he now serves up in the most appe-
tizing form. Among the most curious
things he tells US is the story of the en-
nifty and the final reconciliation of Tour
gueneff and Tolstoi. Tourgueneff had for a
score of years been alienated from Tolstoi,
and while he willingly gave him one of the
highest places in the ranks of Russian au.
thors, he was in the habit Of sharply criti-
cising Tolstoi's literary methods So deep
was the feud at one time that the intimate
friends of both parties feared it might re-
suit in a duel, and as NJ. Durand Greyille
rather dryly observed, duels in Russia are
attended with more fatal consequences than
those fought in France. Two of the great
est Russian writers of this century were
slain on the turf, Imagine the effect upon

The Chicago Tribune points out that there
is good deal of practical prohibition in the
operations of the high license local option
law of Illinois. Twenty-six counties from
which returns are printed show 200 no-license
towns out Of 314, almost two-thirds, and
there is no reason to suppose that the proper
ton will fall off in the rest of the State. The
license in the other towns runs from $500 up
and the Tribune insists that this represses
the rum traffic much more effectively than
the sort of prohibition they have in Iowa.
The Pennsylvania railroad company pub
fishes yearly list of its assets. Among
these is all the stock ($20, ,0OO of the
Pennsylvania company-the concern which
operates the lines west of Pittsburg. A
stockholder of the Pennsylvania road has ap-
piled for list of the assets of the Pennsyl-
vania company and has been refused the
request. The State constitution gives any
stockholder right to inspect the books of
the corporation in which he is an owner. It
is contended that by being a stoekholder of
the Pennsylvania road he is also stockhold-
er in the Pennsylvania company, which it
owns, and SO is in the constitutional right to
make his demand.

The number of suicides has been steadily
increasing in France, and is now nearly twice
as large as it was at the beginning of the sec
ond half of this century. Thus, for the ten
suicides to every 100, 900 inhabitants in 1851,
there were twenty in 1884, and neither times
of disaster to France, such as the years of
1870 and 1871, nor periods of prosperity,
when all industries flourish, make any con-
siderable difference in the sinister records.
This state of things is accounted for in diff
