Morning Make Up of a Rom en- Lady in
the Days of the Gee sars.
From the Jenness- Miller Magazine
According to testimony, which is scarcely
to be disputed, the sun could never have
shone upon less lovely object than {
Roman lady in the days of the Caesars, when
she opened her ewes in the morning, for g.
fore she opened her eyes a great deal had (

When she retired to rest her face had tx
be covered with plaster composed Of bread
and ass milk, which had dried during the
night hours, and, Consequently, presented
in the morning an appearance Of cracked
chalk.
The purpose of the ass milk was not
only TO preserve the dellcacy of the skin,
but 60 renovae the lungs, and so strong
was chat belief in the efficacy of the spe-
cific, that some energetic ladies batbed
themselves seventy times in the cOur Sc of q
single day. Ino, says Poppea, the favorite
wife of Nero, never set out on a journey
without taking in her train whole herds of
she asses, thai she might bathe whenever
she pleased to do 50.
The plaster of paris bust having been
weakened in the morning in & cracked con-
dition it was the office of host of female
slaves to mature it to perfect beauty. To

p1souss1Na A NEW CONTRACT.
Central Cfdcials Comforting With
Engineers and Firemen-

Central Cnicials Comforting With
Engineers and riremen-
General Manager Gabbett and Supt
Starr were closeted all of yesterday with
the com nittee Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers. discussing the yearly
contract under which the relations of the
anOi zee with the Central railroad are to
continue for the coming year. The
conferees are moving very slowly,
and the contract was not completed uO to
iasT night. Supt. Starr informed a Moan
NC NEWS reporter at the Ce trial railroad
office that the work Of making the contract
IL progressing very amicablv, with every
prospect of a satisfactory agreement very
soon. A number OF ch anges in the old con
tract has been propose, some by the en-
gineers and some by the management, and
the conferees are proceeding very slowly,
discussing each point involved in all It's
hearings. Supt. Starr said that no publ
cation OF any portion of the contract has
bee1 author eel, nor could be yet, because
no 20 tract hes been agreed upon.
Mr.. Gabbett was seen at the De Soto
last night and was asked about
the ch nges which it is proposed
10 make in the old contract.
He said the only important change is that
changing the method of paying the engI-
neers and firemen from per dlemto mileage
rates. The mileage system is now in use
upon nearly all the large railway systems
of the country. He believed it would work
more satisfactorily to both management
aud employees tn n the per diem system. 1t
is based upon the same rate of pay for a
good average man as under the day system
MIR. Gabbett said he believed good men
could earn more money under the mileage
system than under the present day system,
as they would be willing H. work more
hours per day. and In case of being called
upon to do extra duty they would be more
willing TO do it, knowing that thew would
be compensated according - their work.

EIGHT LIVES SAVED.
An IneendIary's Plot Frustrated by a
Policeman.

CHICAGO, December 2.-Herman Kat
zcy, his wife and six children were res
cued from a horrible death by tire al
the hands OF an incendiary, late last
night, by Officer Fairy, at No. $50 JEFF
ferSon street.
The building is an old twO-Story frame.
The first floor is used by Katzey as a
shoe shop. Katzey and his family live
up stairs.
Last night after the family had gone
TO bed, the incendiary tied rope from
the knob Of the door TO post near by
Kerosene was poured under the door,
and two pop bottles filled with the oil
were placed close 20 the door on the
outside and match applied. The
flames caught the oil instantly, and the
blaze threatened the destruction Of the
house and its sleeping occupants.
At that moment Officer Fairy came
around the corner. He threw himself
against the door, burst IL from its
hinges and by lively work succeeded
in eXtinguiShing the flames, he being
badly burned while doing so. The
members OF the family were awakened
by the noise, and came down to learn
the terrible fate they had escaped.
An investigation OF the preusseS
showed that the rear door had also been
secured and every avenue OF escape
closed. The building is 4 tinder box
aud had the flames gained triie more
headway the whole structure, aS well a:
the half dozen similar houses adjoining
would have been DESTROYED.

They Beat the Lawyer.

DEDHAM, Mass, December "A
most interesting case is now before the
Norfolk county Probate Court. That of
the estate of the late Il. W. Shapleigh,
of Brookline, who died worth nearly
500. 900, leaving no will and about
thirty heirs. There was found in Mr..
Shapleigh'S wallet, however, a paper in
his handwriting, but unsigned, drawn in
the form of promiSSory note in
which he promised to pay differ
ent sums amounting to S30G, 900
among his relatives. A family meeting
was held upon the discovery of this
paper, and the members decided to ac-
cept its provisions and abide by them.
A lawyer says of the case that it is a
most extraordinary one to see such Il
bulk of property distributed among
so large a family with such an evident
desire to carry out the wishes of the
deceased.
