Use of the UmbrelIa's Tassel.

"Let me sec good silk umbrella" ," said Q matter of fact looking man in @ Chestnut street store one morning.
 ''Heres nice one," said the salesman, holding ID a fine specimen.
 q don't like these taSsels," remarked the would be purchaser. 1T don't See what they're put on for. They're not ornamental, and I'll swear they're of no use"
 "Oh, but they are useful" said the sales man. Many a man has saved his umbrella by having tassels on it."
 "How so?"
 "Why, instead of laying it down or stand ing it against a counter when he stops in any place, he simply thrusts one of the tassels through buttonhole of his vest. When he starts to go out of the store or wherever he may be a tug soon reminds him that he is escorting an umbrella. lost a good cus- toner by explaining the utility of these tas- sels-or rather his custom is not so consecu- tive as it formerly was. He bought high priced silk article one day, and took out his knife to cut off the tassels, when I stopped him. Don't do that said.
 "'Why notP asked be- I always do vixen I get home. l might just as we'll do it here. They're no use.'
 II explained to him that they were of use.
 "'By Jover said he. that's so. What a fool I've beenl I have invariably cut off the taSsels as soon as I got home and put them away in my bureau. As consequence have score or more tassels and no urn. brellas'

FAN UNNECESSARY PERFORMANCE,
That Is Judge Thurmsn's Opinion of a Let
 ter, and He Is in No Hurry

ter, ana He IS HI NO Hurry.
 COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 1.-The published re- port that Judge Thurman's letter accepting the Democratic nomination for the vice presi- dency would be given out last night proved 10 be one of the numerous canardS in refer ence to the document that have been put into circulation during the past two weeks. To a representative of the United Press the vener- able ex-senator said: ''I have not written a line of the letter or given it a thought have at present too much correspondence of other kinds to attend to, and it is not my practice to give up essentials for non-essen- tials It is an unnecessary performance any how, but l suppose that custom and prece- dent must be followed. When it comes there will not be much of it, and it will not come until the spirit moves me-"
 The judges voice was decidedly hoarse, but in answer to question he repudiated the idea that he had suffered from standing so long ln the bleak air to review Saturday nights procession. His venerable wife, on the other hand, was inclined to be more candid. There was no doubt, she said, that he was suffering from exposure for he had severe tit of coughing in the morning, and she certainly thought he ought not to expose himself any more.
 Referring to his contemplated trip to h. diana next month, the judge said that be looks forward to it with some apprehension on account of the inclement weather that was likely to prevail He has promised to go, however, and he would keep his word at all hazards

A SExTON'S BLOODY DEED.
He Kills Two Men Because They Tried te
 Ride His DIulS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. LA terrible this city, at Gill's station. A party of thred white msu-J. D. Smith, Will w. Eastman and J. K Jordan, all residents of Memphis took trlp on the dummy line, which runs near Gill's Station. They were strolling about and Smith, seeing a mule in the road, remarked that he would take q ride. AS he approached the animal Jim Conley, a negro, called out to them to let the mule alone, at the same time applying opprobious epithets. Conley was seated in his yard and Smith and Eastman started towards him. Jordan re- monstrated against their going, but they entered the yard.
 Conley ran into his house and shut the door. A second afterward shotgun was thrust through the window and discharged. The contents struck Eastman in the head, killing him instantly. Smith ran over to where Eastman was, and as he was bending over the dead body the other barrel of the gun was discharged. He was struck in the left side with several buckshot and is mor- tally wounded. Conley, after the shooting, fled. He has been sexton of the Sons of Zion cemetery for fourteen years, within the grounds of which the Xxi ling occurred. East man was nephew of M. H. Coover, promi- nent lumber merchant in this city Smith H foreman of Blanchard's carpenter shop, is married and has one child. The jury of in- quest held over Eastman exonerated Conley who was defending his house from assault.

HAT WEARING AND sALpNEss.
Facts Which & Traveller Has Noticed-The
 Parsee's 'Stovepipe."

Parsee's "Stovepipe."
 From time to time have noticed theories expressed setting forth the chief causes of badness, such as abnormal heat from the head cover, "constriction of the blood vessels of the head by tight hats" by Mir. Eaton and Mir. Gouinlocli. Professor T. Wesley Mills holds that ''the principal root of the trouble is in nervous strain" All these theories may have something to do with the loss of halr l am not about to discuss these sev- eral theories, or suggest one myself, but will only endeavor to point out few facts which may be interesting as bearing upon the sub ject
 During several years residence in Hong Kong, ill my professional duties, had to do with goodly number of persons, represent Ing large variety of nationalities, and in my study of these people found that many theories deduced from local experiences at home were, in some cases at least, hardly broad enough to cover all facts found at large in nature bearing upon the specific points of investigation. Familiar with some or the popular theories to the cause of badness, was surprised to find men who always wore covering to their heads, and during business hours and always when out of doors wore very tight hat, were never paid and possessed a wonderfully strong, thick head of hair I refer to the Parsees (Perslans). There is Q sacred, religious law among them that no man shall 20 with his head uncovered.
 When the Mohammedans invaded Persia. the major part of the native Persians that were not exterminated fled farther east into India, found protection and a welcome home among the Hlndoos, people of castes. and ln order that these strangers should always be identified, also knowing that their religion obliged them to wear a head cover, a law was passed to compel all Parsees to wear a certain style of hat whenever exposed out side Of their own private home. The hat prescribed is as tall as an American silk hat with TO brim; it truly might be called 6 ''stove pipe" This hat is worn, inclinine backward on the head from 35 to 40 dees.. and in order to keep it on its place, the brim is made to cling very close to the head: being so tight and so constantly worn that quite a deep depression is caused substantially around the head; it seemed as if the skull might be involved but, not having the op- portunity of examining one, was not able to fully determine. Whenever this hat is re- moved, a skull cap immediately takes It's place. In my professional duties these hats often had to besemoved, and it appeared to me as a curious fact-if some of the popular theories were altogether true-that these people should never be bald. Therefore I instituted series of strict inquiries. Many of these gentlemen spoke English intslli- gently, also French, German, Persian and their local HindCo dialect, some of whom kindly allowed an examination of their heads, and also assured me that they had never known one of their race that was bald. -G. 0.

One could see it in every line of his face and movement of his body There was willy foxiness about it all that would put person on one's guard and cause one to look beneath the surface for double meanings.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 1.-The irregu- larities discovered last week in the National Union bank and the Union Savings bank ap- pear to have led to the circulation of exae- gerated reports.

A Blaze Caused by Fireworks in Phila-
 delphia.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-What were the handsome headquarters of the Young Repub- licans, at Twelfth and Chestnut streets, are now three stories of burned timbers, broken walls and water soaked ceilings. Ruin is stored on every floor. The Commercial clubs rooms, which consist of the three adjoining floors at 1908 Chestnut street, are also in ruins, while the headquarters of the Republi- can city committee at l 1,2O5 Chestnut street escaped with moderate drenching.
 The fire was discovered at 6:50 in the morning. A large number of Republicans viewed the big parade from the roof Satur- day night and set off great quantity of fire works.
 Some time during the night sparks lit on the Chestnut street cornice, which, being wood ignited. The sparks ate their way into the cornice and smoldered unnoticed The fire must have burned for several hours un- der the tin roof before it was discovered
 Shortly after the fireman got on the roof a lot of rockets and roman candles that had been left there took fire, and balls of fire flew in all directions The Young Republicans are insured for S1,000 and their loss will be about $3, 000 Members of the Commercial club say that their loss will amount to S4 ,OOO The rooms of the Republican city committee at No. ,2O5 Chestnut street, were only dam- aged to the extent of about $50 by the deluge of water that was poured on the building

Ats Completion Rests With NIT. Carnegie.
 Must Be Settled Soon.
 PITTsBURG, Oct. 1.-The success or failure of the South Penn railroad will be deter mined before the first of the year. Dr. David Hostetter and Ralph Bagaley, of Pittsburg, are the heaviest individual stockholders out side of the Vanderbilts. The united hold ings are about S3,00O, ,000, of which 36 per cent has been paid in. Andrew Carnegie, just previous to his departure for Europe, formulated plan for reorganization of the road, which Dr. Hostetter and Mr. Bagaley at the time concurred in, and upon Mr. Car negie's arrival in a few weeks something definite will be decided upon.
 In short time the charter limit will ex- pire, and unless the road is under way all rights will fall and new charter be neces- Sary.
 B. F. Jones' M. w. Watson, H. Clay Prick, E. M. Ferguson and John W. Chalfant, all of Pittsburg, have not yet signed the agreement, but await the larger holders action
 Mir. Bagaley is willing to sign, and the Vanderbilts are said to be indifferent, but will act with the majority.
 At present the whole matter appears to hinge upon MT. Carnegie's course and he is understood to favor an early completion of the line. Unless this is done very soon the millions invested in the road will be lost

Two Bombs Exploded in a Pennsylvania
 Town-BuiltlinSs Injured.
 BEAVER, Pa, Oct 1-Sheriff Welsh re ceived telegram from Postmaster Frank R. Morris, of Shannopin, stating that an at tempt had been made to blow up the post office and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie rail- road station with dynamite. In company with his attorney, Frank Reed, the sheriff went to the scene. It appears that Q dyna- mite bomb was thrown at little frame build ing occu1 jed by James Crooks. The explosion tore up the ground, broke windows ill adjoin- ing buildings, including the railroad station, and damaged the Crooks house considerably.
 A little over an hour later a second ex- plosion occurred. This one was at the rear of the postotiice building, in which Mr. Nor ris also has a drug store The exrlosian knocked him down and threw bottles and packages from the shelves. The lights were extinguished and the building was considera- ably shaken. Morris, his brother and several customers were in the store, and running out found that the bomb had been exploded at one of the rear corners and that it had burst the gas pipe Fortunately the gas did not ignite, or the entire row would have been in flames in few minutes

Discussing n General Strike.

BOSTON Oct. 1.-There is serious talk of tie-up of l',e lines controlled by the West End Street Railway company. A number of de- tectives have been shadowing the coductors of the rosd recently, and in consequence of the reporus made there has been wholesale discharge. The conductors have been notified in patches of q dozen at time that they were no longer n the employ of the company Many oL the old employees who have been dis charged were prominent in the strike of two years ago. The conductors and drivers held secret consultation last evening, and the question e general strike was discussed No definite plan of action was decided on.
