make the face perfectly smooth re-
quires not only the removal of the

and close shave means the removal
of u layer of skin all around. The
blood vessels thus exposed are not
visible to the eye, but under the mi
croscope each little quivering mouth
holding Il minute blood drop protests
against such treatment. The nerve
tips are also uncovered and the pores
are left unprotected, which makes the
skin tender and unhealthy. This

A POINT or HONOR

among the attendants not to report cases OF
abuse. Gordon Hazeltons charges were
looked into, and he examined his own wit
nesses His charges were that his mail was
tanpeI ed with by hospital officials. DR.. Col
Inns testified that he opened one let
ter directed to his wife, thinking
there were other letters in it. His exam
ination amounted to nothing, the witnesses
being questioned on matters that were ir-
relevant and ridiculous. The examination of
his witnesses occupied three and a half hours
He asked permission to make a statement.
WiliistOn said they would set apart one day
for him after the other witnesses We're ex-
amined. DR.. QuiuHy Of st. Paul and Z. s.
Kelley of Minneapolis testified that Hazel
ton has been for yeals and is
still of unsound mind. Pursuant to
the completion of the investigation
of the charge by Mrs. Eva Bartlett at St Paul
on Saturday, her sister, Dora Hofacra, was
called. She testified that she had worked at
the asylum two years had been employed in
the kitchen. She adm tilted that she had told
her sister that she had heard that patient
that worked in the laundry, had had Grim
inal intercourse with an attic ndant She
said that she had seen things which
WERE NOT LADYLIKE
between male and female attendants al
though no. criminal acts Attorney General
tlapp pressed her hard as to what she had
aeen. She finally calculated: Il have seen
the girls sit on the boys laps in the presence
of others" She had heard other scandal, and
had heard Kate Brogau and Katie
Marum make remarks Miss Hot
AGRA testified that she had not been
treated respectfully while Mt the asylum,
and when the gIIls We're put on the stand
they b'ankIy denied every charge she made,
except as to the Nottingham case, which
these witnesses testified was OccnsiOned Ivy
her own failing in always telling that she
had criminal intercourse with men. They,
however, unanimously changed Miss HOfacra
with being unduly intimate with the head
cock, Stanford. The whole testimony
given on this branch OF the in
vesti@aton seemed to be n squaring of
accounts between Miss Hotacra and the rest
Henry Mol, ex-Sheriff of NicOet county,
arrived during the afternoon session and OC-
cupied a few minutes putting in testimony
refuting the charges made by TrOgdOn at ST
Paul in reference to conspiracy which had
been the means of his getting IN the asylum.
Chairman WilistOn said that the charges
+ were absurd in their face; that he did not see
the necessity Of refuting them, but that il he
wished his testimony would be taken.

A Victim Of Whisky.

Both the democratic and republican SEN
ators ere undoubtedly glad that Riddle
berger's career in the Senate is ended, and
it is probable that nobody in Virginia re-
grets his retirement to private life. II may
be that in his sober moments Mr.. Riddle
berger regretted the disgraceful exhibitions
which be made Of himself in the Senate.
If he did, and felt that he could not con-
troll his appetite for whisky, and was.
therefore, likely al any time to act in an un-
becoming manner on the floor of the SEN
ate, he ought to have resigned, and thus
escaped the contempt Of his senatorial as
sociates and the country, and given Vir-
GINA q chance TO send some one to succeed
him who could render her some service. II
he did not regret his conduct, then he
should have Leen expelled long before his
term expired
The sending Of his resignation to the gov
ernor of his state a few hours before the
termination of his senatorial term was a
theatrical performance that was in keeping
with his career in the Senate and was
worthy Of man whose mind probably is
unbalanced by whisky. He will hardly
look back with pleasure to his last appear
ance in the Senate chamber, and if he has
any manhood left he will think of himself
dragged from his seat by two officers, with
blush of shame.
Doubtless Mr.. Riddleberger has some
good qualities and considerable ability. If
he had let whisky alone he might have been
a respected citizen and useful legislator. He
became victim Of whisky, however, and
as he drops from his high position back into
the obscurity from which he not very long
ago emerged, he does not see a single friendly
hand extended to him nor hear single
voice express regret that his public career
has closed.

The Government and Quarantine.


The interstate quarantine convention,
which meets il Montgomery, Ala, to-day,
is a very important one to the states which
are directly interested in it. In fact, it is
ali important one 80 far as the whole coun-
try is concerned, because all the states are
SO knit together by railroads that any in
reference with the railroads of one state
is felt injuriously by those of the other
states
The purpose of the Montgomery conven-
ton is to agree upon some arrangement by
which the business of a large area of
country will not be interrupted if it
becomes necessary at any time to
establish quarantine against any town or
county in any state. During the epidemic
in Florida towns and in Decatur, Ala, last
summer, business in several states suffered
to the extent of many hundreds of
thousands of dollars because of unnecessary,
or what are believed to have been unneces-
sary, quarantine restrictions.
While it is not probable that the Mont
gomery convention will be able to accom-
plsh anything that will be of practical BEN
eft, it will have the effec5 doubtless, of
assisting to educate public sentiment rela-
tive to quarantine and sanitary matters in
the right direction. Before there can be
quarantine regulations based upon common
sense aud experience, instead of ignorance
ana fear, the control of quarantine will
have to he assumed by the national govern
ment. Until there is one controlling pc yer
it will be- impossible to have, or to enforce,
uniform quarantine regulations

Grover Cleveland.

Mr.. Cleveland is a private citizen again.
Yesterday he surrendered to his successor
the great trust which, at the command Of
the people, he began to administer four
years ago. In few days he will be hard
working New York lawyer and he will be
as careful of the interests of his clients as
he was of those of the nation.
Mr.. Gle Gland was good President 1t
is doubtful if the country ever had better
one. He was conscientious and faithful In
the dischargs of his duties. He placed his
country before his party, and was President
of the whole people. He made some mis-
takes, but they were not serious ones
When the history of his administration is
written they will not be apparent. They
were too small to attract more than a pass
ing notice.
Mr.. Clevelands administration was
clean one. Not even the most rabid of the
republican journals ever suggested that
there was anything crooked in any of the
departments during his term as President
There were no star route scandals, no
assessing of offlce-holders, no Jobs
in the navy and no suggestions of rotten
ness in the treasury department. Mr.
Cleveland himself said few days ago tina.
his administration had nothing to hide, and
no republican questioned the statement
He gave the country pure, clean, able and
an economical government. He retired
from the great office with the respect and
best wishes of the entire nation

Miss Mary Anderson was not very well
treated by the press Of st. Louis when she
appeared in that city the other day, but the
treatment she received at the hands of the
Louisville press and people more than COM
pensated her. Louisville turned out in
full force to see her, and she played in tue
theater In which she made her debut thir-
teen years ago. One of the city dailies
devoted column and half to review of
her career, Landed her to the skies, so to
speak, and ended by saying; "She comes
back to us one of the renowned artists of
the world, but, what is better, she comes
back, also, pure Kentucky girl, a gentle
lady, a good woman" Miss Anderson
seems to deserve all the praise that her home
people have bestowed upon her.

1t is again rumored that Mr.. Blaine will
retire from the cabinet after having held
the position a short while, and that he will
be succeeded by Mr.. William Walter
Phelps. This can hardly be true, as Mr..
Blaine is not retiring man; but if he
should resign it would be quite natural for
Mr.. Phelps to take his place Mr.. Phelps is
now ofliceless, SO to speak. He refused re-
nomination TO the House in order to push
his canvass for United States senator, and
then Senator Mcpherson defeated him.
There is no moro pitiful object than a
republican out of office.
