Bad Place For Girls With Bangs.

There are two classes of girls who
are supremelv happy at Bar Harbor-
the girl with naturally curly hair
which waves itself into fluffy little
rings and tendrils when the wind blows
in from the sea, and the maiden to
whose cast of features straight bang
is unquestionably the most becoming.
These two are satisfied; they have no
further favors to ask of Nature in the
matter of coiffure. But wo to the
damsel to whom that same tickle fort
une has given straight locks and at the
same time implanted within her breast
a desire to possess by the art of curling
tongs and crimping pins the waving
locks of her more favored sisters. In
her soul there is room for little else
than deep, dark despair. In the
sanctity of her maidenly bower she is
a prey to green and yellow melancholy
for she cannot trust herself to- go on
yachting parties, take late afternoon
strOlls along the sea wall. or sit down
on the rocks for one of those pictur-
esque looking tiirtations with youths
in striped flannel suits, lest in a mo-
ment, while she is in the properly senti-
mental mood, and the striped flannel
youlH dluloSI up W Iue CGlllCdl point,
poufi comes one of those salt little
breezes, and away goes the work of
hours. put it to anyone-if it would
not be rather damper upon the most
ardent admirer to get into the thick of
Irritation with a girl whose hang waves
and curls upon her forehead, and then.
Suddenly, while stretched out on the
rocks at her feet, gaze up to find this
same bang hanging limp and straight
as Il porcupine's quill. There is liter
ally no medium course TO be pursued
in this matter at Bar Harbor, and the
girls may as well make up their minds
to it before they decide to come here.
The place is charming; there is no
question as to that, but it is, neverthe-
less, place where the straight-haired
girl has got to stand on her own merits
without the aid Of an artificially be-
frizZed couture. Hdr6Or Letter.

Tom Dooley, of Athens, Ga, has
keen eye to business, but sometimes
errs in Judgment. He makes business
of collecting all the waste paper, rags.
etc., aud sending them out to the paper
mills. He carries 500 pounds at load
and gets cent per pound, or $3.50
load. He pays s. load for team, so
he is just so cents short on each load.
something that he cannot see his error,
and persists in putting himself at great
trouble to lose 40 cents per load.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.--The next po-
| liticai sensation will he TIE one de-
scribed in the following very important
| announcement: The Boston Pilot John
Boyle O'Rellly's paper) Of this week
| contains most remarkable and impov-
tant paper signed by more than twenty
of the most distinguished and respected
Irishmen III this country, including
such men as Eugene Kelly, the great
New York banker; Joseph j. ODono-
hoe, of New ork; Mai. John Byrne, Of
Cincinnati; Hen. Patrick A. Collins
and John Boyle O'Reilly, of Massachu-
sets, James Reynolds, of New Haven;
James Mooney, Of Buffalo; Martin A.
Foran, Of Cleveland; William J. Hynes,
Of Chicago; DR.. William G. Wallace, Of
New York; Hugh j. Cssrroll, OF Rhode
Island; Hon. 2. Walsh, of Augusta,
Ga; Patrick j. Meehany, editor of the
lrish-American, and many others.
This paper is an address to the Irish
people in America, assuring them, OH
the word OF every signer, that they have
examined the original and amended
forms Of the extradition treaty with
England, and have complete proof that
the clauses giving up political refugees
to England were wholly inserted by
Republican senators after the admin
stlation had refused the British minis
,oct c,r bn ,,Io re ,oJ
clauses. Also that the Democratic
senators On the foreign relations com
nittee fought those clauses, but were
out-voted by the Republican majority.
I his paper effectuaLly disposes OF the
brazen Republican charge that the
Democratic administration was respon-
slble for the treaty, and proves g direct
collision between Lord Sackville West
and the Republican senator's. Another
article in this weeks Pilot analA yes the
letters OF the British minister and his
British-American correspondent. and
shows that Lord Sackvilie is more
knave than fool and that he richly de
served the recall in disgrace, which
President Cleveland has demanded of
the British government. The Pilot also
contains important letters from Eugene
Kelly, Patrick "A. Collins, Maj, Byrne
and other leading lrish-Americans
Some of these letters from reputable
gentlemen directly charge a conspiracy
between the British minister and the
Republican party, by which for British
