1T appears TO be virtually decided in
advance of the coming State Convention
that Mr.. f. A. Bigler, late Collector Of
Internal Revenue in this district, will be
the Democratic nominee for State Treas
urer. This may somewhat impair the
majority Of Mr. Boyer in this meek of
woods as the moonshiners in the noun
tains Of Fayette and Somerset counties,
who have had undisturbed possession of
the traffic in whisky for the past four
years, win undoubtedly support the late
easy-going Collector.

HARRIsBURe, August "a. -EThe owners
of horses in this city afflicted with
glanders have been unable to get DR. Brun-
ner. of Allegheny, who in letter to Gov.
ernor Beaver declared that he could cure the
disease and.prevent its spreading TO Harris
burg. State Printer Meyers, who shot a
horse supposed to have had the disease, has
sent four kilograms for Drummer TO come TO
Harrisburg, but has received no reply. Mey-
ers wants the dead horse examined for the
purpose Of ascertaining whether he had the
glanders.
Bugler Russ, of the Governors troop, has
also repeatedly wired Drummer 10 come here
and save the life of his valuable horse if pos
sible, with the same unsatisfactory result.

ACCORDING TO one set OF Democratic

A CRASH or THE cuRyK

Both trains were running at a high rate of
speed, when Suddenly they came in sight of
each other Both engineers reversed their
levers and applied the airbrake, but it was
100 late. In a few seconds the locomotives
came together with fearful crash. and in a
moment more both trains weie laying across
the track, a mass Of ruins, and ascore Of
passengers were lying among the debris, all
more or less injured. while three brave train
men, who stood to their posts to the last, lay
dead under their engine and another receiv-
ed injuries from which be cannot recover.
The bodies of the dead men were taken to
Parkersburg. They were horribly mangled,
and scarcely recognizable The eaecommotla-

means of which it is gathered in around
the neck, leaving further depth Of
two or three inches spread out again
like a wide lace collar. The whole
thing has rather stuffy look, but it is
welcome device for those who do not
deem their faces quite fine enough to
be exposed to the glare of sunlight.
About all the colors that the dyers
know how to produce are seen in these
wells, and most of these are fecked
with Opaque dots which should, if the
warnings of oculists be we'll founded,
produce many cross eyes and impaired
visions.
It is not for the promenade alone
that women are doing new things to
their heads. Highly decorative caps
of lace, feathers, and ribbons are being
worn considerably at home. They are
called housewife caps" but unmar.
ried women are donning them, too.
Three examples Of these caps are
sketched. Individual fancy can be in
dulged indefinitely in these contriv-
ances, and New York milliners are
adding to their income by producing
caps artistically suited to their Gus
toners. They are not only worn at
breakfast, the time for which they
were originally intended-in order to
conceal the fact that ones hair had not
been very deliberately arranged SO early
in the morning are displayed at
all times of the day, and even occasion

caps, it will be interesting to know

that there is a revival of fashion OF
several years ago in the dolly Var
den" cap, which is now worn with tea
gowns. 1t is now, as it formerly was,
only bit of gathered lace and
a puckered-up crown, with few short
lengths OF ribbon of the same colors as
the tea gown it accompanies. A differ
ent style OF cap is the "Marie Stuart"
for elderly ladies, and made of soft
cream or white embroidered net, or of
black lace. The pointed velvet band,
resting on the head in front, supports
the delicate material which forms the
cap, like q deep curtain, falling over
the back hair and tying loosely in front
at little distance from the chin. In
black lace it is particularly graceful
and becoming, suitable alike for society
or home wear. Other caps-if an ar
rangement of lace beaded in different
colors, taking the form of a butterfly
with its wings fastened against the
hair, can be called a cap-are very
dainty and becoming. They are much
worn at evening entertainments of all
kinds. For the young girls there are
instead of caps many varieties of little
Dorothy wreath and its accompanying
single epaulet. These are made q
small flowers. and the epaulet some

Is Salt an Emergency.

The question of the need of salt as
essent al to health is being widely dis
cussed by SCIENTISTS and medical
men. It has b; en- claimed by many to
be good ior the blood and an aid to di-
gestion. A scientific WI ter now S VS.
that this is not so and that the imror
lance Of salt has been very much oyei-
rated. He CLAIMS that instead OF pr
venting scurvy the exc ss;ve use OF salt
produces scurvy. Then he shows that
there are man. p aces i'll the world
where salt is not known and yet the in
habitants are all very healthy. In South
Africa salt is very scarce and only tn"
very wealthy can afford to have it on
their tables. The poorer eople who
have never tasted salt are all very
strong and healthy. Previous to the
discovery Of this country The indians
never had salt, and in the pre- cnt la
salt is not in use in Siberia. Many say
that the wholesonlcn ssof salt is proved
by the way in which an mails eat it, In
parts of the world where salt is rot
known antelopes abound in great ua"-
titles, and instances are on record
where cattle and sheep have been raised
very successfully without the use Of
salt. Dogs, cats and OH L carnIverous
animals are not at all fond OF SALT

course, q pretty face has great deal
to do with it, but I never let beauty
run away with my judgment of how
she will look in tights. Some very
handsome faces ornament very
scrawny form that any amount of pad
ding would not make perfect.
Twill say that can determine in the
cases of IS per cent. of the young
women who apply to me for situations
whether they will make pleasing stage
appearance or not I do this by judg-
ing of the contour of the hand. For
instance, q young woman OF tall figure
presents herself to me. AS she is liza
BILE to be thin, my examination is done
more carefully than if she We're Of q
shorter build. If her fingers are long
and bony I can see at once that she
would be of no use, as her limbs would
be thin and her feet long. If her
fingers are long, but we'll covered
with flesh and tapering, then she will
be OF good form Notwithstanding her
height Ii her fingers are short and
full, then she will be of excellent fig
ure. The contour of the person. and q
well-developed bust is good criterion,
but these often deceive, as have fire.
que ntly found girls so gifted to be top
heavy.
In a person of meIiium height it
would not require such plump hand
to indicate a good proportion. Nine
out of ten women Of medium height
are sufficiently we'll formed for ballet
purposes; it is the tall ones who are a
thorn in my side. When ladies come to
me for engagement I always respectful
ly request them TO remove their gloves.
[ do not tell them what for, and it only
takes me moment to determine their
fate. They go away probably wondering
what it was that persuaded me in max
ing up my mind.
