Shave Yourself.

zone reason why men are not sue
cessful in shaving themselves" said a
barber few days since to New York
SIN reporter, sis because they do not
pay any attention to their tools. They
ought to learn lesson from us in this
respect. A barber sharpens his razor
with the utmost care at least twice and
even three times for every man he
shaves, and yet there are lots of men
shaving themselves who are content
with slamming a razor over strap two
or three times before they begin opera
tions, and never bother about the matter
again. Then, too, we rub the soap on
mans face very carefully and thoroughly
several minutes before we begin to
shave. In reality this is half the battle,
for it softens the hair and moistens the
skin so that there is no danger of cutting
the face, and the resistance of the razor
is reduced one halt The lather is hot
and the instant the razor begins to pull
it is carefully strapped until it Is sharp

years, and am still wondering why a
man ever goes TO barber shop to get

Senator Ingalls, is quite right when he
says every man ought to do so. 1t only
takes me five or six minutes to shave
when get up in the morning, and it
Is through with FOR the rest of the day
Many busy man is compelled to stand
around for Il half hour or more in a shop
every day because he thinks he cannot
shave himself. If he would look after
the details, it would be as easy as rolling

AaFuneraI at Midnight.

A midnight funeral is queer sight.
Shortly before that dismal hour last Sun,
day night long line of carriages trailed
through the mud and mist of Madison
street. The plate-glass sides of the sable
trimmed hearse flashed back the strug-
Cling CLEANS of the electric lights and
the dull rumble of the vehicle sent
shiver through the people who faced the
fog and chill of the night. A dozen
carriages followed the black transport of
the dead. Weeping women in mourn
ing wells and relatives and friends of the
dead with bowed heads were seen as the
carriages passed beneath an electric
lamp. The body had evidently arrived
by late train and the last rites of the
dead were being performed in the dark
ness of the night. 1t was a gloomy,
sorowful procession-the weather, the
hour, the grief, the pall-all midnight
blackness-not ray of light. - Chicago

Polish.

LAKE MoHoNK, N. Y, Oct. S.-The
eighth annual Indian conference began
this morning. GeneralE Whittlesey, of
Washington, secretary of the board Of
Indian commissioners, gave general
survey of the field, and referred espe-
cially to the happy change in public SEN
timent in the last few years, due largely
to influences emanating from Mohonk.
1t is now very rare, he said, to
find an intelligent person expressing
doubt as to the possibility or practical
bility of civilizing the Indian. The re-
formed public sentiment has reached
congress, and resulted in legislation by
which the mode of civilization has been
wonderfully advanced.
Rev. G. w. Freeland, of Hampton,
who has been inspecting returned stu
dents on the reservation, said of ITO
from Hampton, only four turned out a
failure, a per centage not larger than
may be found in many eastern schools
for white children.
Ex-president McCosh, of Trinity, read
paper to demonstrate the capacity of
the Indian for civilization. The worst
of the red men, he said, are not in a
less favorable condition for civilization
than our own ancestors, the Britons,
were, as described by Caesar and Tacitus,
with their painted bodies, druid rites.
human sacrifices, etc. 1t was Chris
tianity that wrought the change, and it
would do the same for the Indians.

A Sleek Insurance swindler Behind
Prison Bars.
PREsCoTT, Ariz., Oct S.-Under Sher-
iff Murray McInnery yesterday lodged
in Jail Lere one of the most noted swind-
lers in the southwest. He goes by the
name of James M. Wilson, alias Mat
thews. alias Holley, alias Madison, and
his peculiar vocation has been to
swindle life insurance companies. His
first adventure was in Arkansas some
years ago when he blew up cottage in
which he lived. The explosion occurred
prematurely and as the result
he was severely injured and
now wears large silver plate
on the top of his head. His supposed
body was found in the wreck and buried
by his sorrowing widow, who recovered
the amount of his life insurance policy.
In 1883 he located in Dona Ana county,
New Mexico, with his wife, who is a
beautiful young woman, and Immediate
ly took out life insurance policy for
$1,000 in the New York Mutual, and
additional accident policy for 10000.
A few months after receiving the policy,
fishing excursion was organized on the
Rio Grande, and Wilson was reported
drowned. Search for his body resulted
IN hndlng corpse whch was buried.
The suspicious of the insurance compan-
les were aroused, and an investigation
was commenced, when Wilson's
wife and other confederates be-
came alarmed and fed the
country. A large reward was offered
for his arrest, and some of the best de-
tectives in the country went in search
of him. During recent visit to Jerome,
Under-Sheriff McInerny identified Will
son there and made the arrest. Wilson
admits his identity, but claims to have
fallen out of boat in the Rio Grande
accidentally, and fioated long distance
down the stream before reaching shore.
Having had quarrel previously with
his wife, he says he thought it would be
good way to avenge her, bWpretending
he was drowned. When found, he was
living in gulch, some distance from
camp. He will be taken to New Mexico
