CHICAGO, July Pit is stated that since
the arrest of Hronek, the wOuld-be as
sassin of Gary, Grinnell and Bonheld, the
police have made an important discovery
by working upon the fears of Hronek's
wife. Surprisingly little dynamite was
found at Hronek's house at the time of
his arrest, the bulk of the contraband
goods consisting of bombs in various
stages of completion. The police were
convinced that he had access to plenty of
dynamite, aud when the subject was prop
erly presented to Mrs. Hronek she led the
way to the basement of the building in
which Sevic shop is, and to the delight of
the officers, who allowed her to do the
searching, returned to the open gir with a
market basket full of haf-pound sticks
of the stuff. There were fully ten pounds
of it, enough to have blown the whole
ghborhOOd skyward. 1t is said that
the grand jury evidence shows that Sevic,
as wen as Hronek, knew where the dyna-
mite was conceal 1.

Marshal n. P. Banks, at BOstOI, to be

to pay debts owed by the Marshal. The
latter referred the matter to the First

itv Of the attachment, and the Comptroller
has decided that the money to be used to
pay the Jurors aud witnesses can not be

the disbursing agent of the Government.
Neither eau the amount due the Marshal

CHICAGO, July 2T.-There is a pOssibil
ity, if no more, that the perse ecutiOn of
the bohemian dynamite conspirators may
result in the capture and punishment of
more important criminals. Appearances
point to Johann Most as the arch-cOn-
spirator His trail shows at intervals all
through the plot. States -AttOrneyILonge-
necker and Inspector Bonieled are
pretty we'll satisfied with the outlook as
to the four Bohemians, but their hearts
yearn for Most. They are convinced that
he belongs in the dock with the four BO-
hemians, and no stone will be left uu :
turned to put him there. This will be a
difficult matter, and they do not pretend
to deny it. Neither will they move to-
ward his arrest until his crime can be
brought home to him without chance of
miscarriage of justice.

Wanted to Be ''Terror."


 The boys who go west to fight Indians, however, seldom get beyond the Missouri river If they do not succeed in beating their way home on a freight train, you will find them shouting ''extras'' on the streets of St. Louis, or hanging around the gam bling dens of Kansas City, earning a few dimes polishing the boots of the. sports" only know of one boy who succeeded in getting down to the frontier. He never saw an Indian, and was glad to get job in miners boarding house at Shakespeare, New Mexico, washing dishes. As his hero, Bronco Billy, the horse thief" never did anything so ignoble, the lad fretted in his servitude.
 It was a glorious hour in his young life when he made the acquaintance of Sandy King, a young western desperado, and saw chance of emulating Bronco Billy, if una ble to attain the glory of "Seven Shooter Jake, the ApacSs Terror" Together the boy and Sandy King attempted to run off two horses belonging to the stage company, but were pursued and captured. Sandy King was hanged, while young Mason-that is not the name of the boy, but it will an- swer-was taken to the corral, stripped and soundly logged. It knocked all the romance out of him, and he is now quito contented to serve in a New York brokers office, and rather excites the surprise of his companions by his disbelief in the dime novel, and his undisguised disgust for western men and things.-Con A.

WIGS AND SWITCHES.
How They Are Made and Where tn
 Makers Obtain Their Material.

How They Are Made and Where the
 Makers Obtain Their Material.
 Near Fifth avenue, on East Fourteenth street, is store which, though small, gives room for several branches of business that are not otherwise closely connected. There Is carpet-shaking and cravat-cleaning establishment, a wig-maker and a dealer in optical and scientific instruments. A re- porter for the New York Telegram, while waiting for a last seasons rejuvenated 'cravat, saw man seated at table in the rear part of the store deftly weaving small punches of human hair
 Before him, on a table, were two upright sticks about one foot high, two feet apart and one inch thick. Between them were stretched three black threads. Near at hand was bunch of brown hair between two layers of cloth held down by the bottom of an old flat iron. Pulling three or four hairs at time from the exposed end of the bunch, the operator skillfully bent the ends over the middle thread and twisted the other strands around them, and so that an- other strand became the middle one. The bunch was then bound down with white thread.
 By continuing this work he gradually made long, thin fringe of hair, which he called "weft." This was afterward wound closely around a cord about six inches long, thus making thick bunch or switch. It took three of these punches of short hair to make one switch, and that was accomplished by attaching one by longer cord so that 1t commenced it's career about where the other left eff.
 The eeperater called attention to the fact that this switch was of short hairs only, about or 10 inches in length. ''This," said he, lis a cheap one, selling for about $150, while this of the same color, but longer and all the hairs of nearly equal length, costs $7. These exquisite shades of light brown cost $26 and $25, while this pale auburn is $50, and so too, is this bright red"
 'That's charming color," said the re- porter, ''but aren't you afraid of an attack of white horse9"
 "No," said the dealer; ''but to amuse an old lady customer the other day put one just like it in the window and told her that she would see a white horse before I got back to the other side of the store. I had scarcely turned my back from the window when the old lady screamed with laughter and shouted: There it is; there's the white horse.' I turned and saw coupe just stopping in front of the door. The ola lady bought that switch and took it with her to amuse her friends by attracting to her parlor windows all the white horses on upper Fifth avenue"
 ''Where does your supply of hair come from?' was asked
 ''From Europe entirely. There Is not enough of the native American crop to SUD- ply even my small store. It comes from the peasants and convents abroad. Those beautiful pale shades are chiefly from Nor way and Sweden. The pure white is the most expensive. It is made into three puffs side to adorn the heads of aristo- cratic old ladies'

the free trade bubble that republican leaders and platform shouters have blown up. Nothing could be more direct, noth- ing could be more unequivocal than his epigrammatic declaration "We have en tered upon no crusade of free trade. The reform we seek to inaugurate is predicated upon the utmost care for established in dustries and enterprises and regard for the interests of American labor and a serious desire to relieve the country from the in justice and danger of condition which threatens all people of all the land" This is an exact definition of the democratic posi- tion. The democratic policy is not q policy of free trade. The success of the auguration of free trade; if further tariff reduction should seem feasible after the success of the present reform shall have increased sthe pros perity of the country, it will come from demonstrated results and the demand of the people. But free trade will not come in this generation, and certainly the democratic party has no desire, intention or tendency to foist it on the country This is being understood by the people, and the more the economic policy of President Cleveland and his party is studied the more clear will it become.
 President Cleveland s letter is an admi- rable exposition of democratic policy on the economic and national issues of the day. It should be extensively circulated as a campaign document. The republicans cannot break the force of it's virile logic, and every voter who reads it in the light of fair and impartial interest in his country will realize that the democratic position is the correct one in this campaign. It is the same as has been held by repubi- can leaders when their judgment and their utterances were not warped by the partisan misdirection of republican campaign. War taxes should not be imposed ill time of peace.

DON'T BE CLUSTERED.
Advice to Young Men Who Are Going t&
 Work in 9 Strange Shop.

 The young man who has ''just got a job" and is going to work at it for the first time, does nQt always take the pleasantest feel ings Wsth him, says the Boston Budget The work is new. It IS, part of it, strange also He has many things to look out for, and many strange surroundings to accustom himself to.
 ' A young man hardly ever goes to new { job but what he finds work and methods different from what he has been accustomed. To get acquainted with the new shop is the first thing, and the sooner it is done, the quicker will the stranger be able to grasp the situation and work understandingly , young man is apt to be "1ustered'' when he goes to work on new job. He is nervous. Every body is looking at him, and he knows ,too. Many good workman gets rattled" during his first day on strange job, and he is none the worse for it either. i In going at new job, brush up all the ' 'cheek'. nature has adorned you with Hold your head up, and let the brain get in its work. That row of staring workmen seems about mile long, and they are all watching you. Keep cool and take in the situation. Your eyes are as good as theirs, you know as much as they do, and about some things more too. Bear this in mind, and keep up your courage.
 II you are put at lathe which IS different from any you ever handled before, take 8 piece of waste, a wrench and go through that lathe until you know just how it works Do the same thing with steam engine, or any other machine, only "don't tinker.n There is no need of destroying machine to see "how it works" If you have not brains enough to investigate a machine without "tinkering" it, your have mistaken your calling, and had better buy shovel and use it.
 Keep your mind on your work, no matter who is looking at you, or what comments are made. You are there to learn that business (what you don't know of it) and to work at it. You are not there to get mixed up and spoil something, or cut your fingers of. A man can adapt himself to almost any circumstances if he only keeps his mind well balanced in the job in hand.
