BOSTON MILK TRtIST

NEW York, Jan. "a Boston special
says that arrangements We're completed
Yesterday for the formation of milk
trust, which is to include every cow that
contributes to the Boston market. 1t was
also proposed that a sum of money, say
S35, 600, should be put into the pool for the
purpose of buying creameries, twenty in
number, at the most important central
point of the milk producing district.
These creameries are to be used for the
storage of milk when there is temporary
over supply in the Boston market, and at
such times as there may be controversies
with contractors 1t was also proposed
that the trust, as corporate body, should
buy supplies in great quantities thereby
securing the very lowest prices and sell
them to producers at prices far below those
they now have TO pay. The scheme was
referred To a committee to report to a Spe-
cial meeting to he held thirty days hence

Care of the Hair.

Young girls of the present day completely
destroy their hair by crimping il with irons
and twisting it up tightly with thick, hard
hairpins This treatment may make the
hair look pretty for the time being, but no
thought is given as TO the ultimate result
and the appearance IL VIII present a few
years hence The hair should he well brushed
every night and morning with moderately
hard brush-brushes made with short, IN
bleached bristics are the best-and on retir
ing to rest the hair should be drawn back
lightly aSer the ears, plated III one long
plait, and allowed TO hang down the back: 1t
should not be fastened up with hair pins, nor
should any cap or covering be worn on the
head. This method makes the hair bright
and glossy, without the aid of oils or pomades,
which are best avoided. The fewer hair pins
and ties used in dressing the hair the better;
and twisted hair pins are injurious. 1t Is not
well to continue the same style OF dressing
the hair for too long perion, as that is apt
10 make it thin in some places; a little change
is a relief TO the head and otherwise advls-
able. Cutting the hair occasionally is neces-
sary, and should not be neslccted.-New

CORA LEES TRIAL.
The Chances for Conviction Growing Less
Every Day.

SPRINGFIELD No, Jan. CIT is the
opinion of many here tonight that States
Attorney Patterson is far less sanguine Of
convicting Cora Lee than he was some
DAYS ago. Certain it is that there was
little in the testimony of today's proceed
ings to strengthen his confidence in that
direction, while the defense, il may reason
ably be supposed, is feeling correspond
ingly hopeful.
Horace Dumars, formerly a newspaper
man OF this city, was the first witness
called this morning. He knew the MollOy
farm and was present when the photo
graph was taken of the well sometime af-
ter the body was found. Said the brush
was so thick about the well that it would

Several witnesses were recalled to make
more clear portions of their testimony al

changes were made, and another
witness, j. y. HOScy. was brought
forward who testified to having
seen a couple get off the train at Dorches-
ter on or about the night of September 80
The defendant was placed on the stand
during the day and told again the same
story of her whereabouts on the night of
the murder as given in her first trial and

WELLINGTON, B. c., Jan. 26.-The ex-
ploring party at the Dunsmier collieries
worked all Tuesday night, divided into
three shifts and that under Foreman Hag-
gerty penetrated into the east slope. They
located a number of bodies of whites and
Chinese 1t was not until about 2 O'Clock
this afternoon, however, that the work of
bringing the bodies to the surface was be-
gun, and as one cage was in working order,
after the start was made, this proceeded
very rapidly. In little over an hours
time the bodies of seven white men and
eight Chinese had been raised
to the surface. The report in
circulation during the day that many
more persisted than those named in yester
days telegram is happily untrue. The
dispatch sent Tuesday night is about cor
rect Every individual in the east slope
when the explosion occurred was killed.
At tonight Wednesday, after the change
OF shift. eighteen white men and twenty
two Chinese had been taken out of the pit,
while seven more bodies had been found
and taken to the bottom of the shaft.
There yet remain thirteen whites and
nineteen Chinese in the mine. James
Morrison was omitted from the former
report, making the total number of white
men who persisted in the east level thirty
one and Chinese forty one. The Yelling
ton collieries have been closed since the
accident. At 1890 p. N. four more white
men were brought up.
