SPURRED UP BY STANLEY,
The Explorer Criticises England's
African Policy.

Stanley made some trenchant remarks on Eng
land and Germany in Africa Wednesday night al
q banquet rendered him by the London chamber
Of commerce Stanley then described his travels
and pointed out that although so much had
been done by English travellers to open up the
dark regions Of Africa yet that country failed
to take advantage of their discoveries In a
bantering manner Stanley spoke OF the great
interest the Germans had manifested in the
fora and fauna of Africa, while on the part OF
England there was indifference as to what
actually was occurring. A number of bis
friends, however, had come together to try and
do something in regions which they had said
should be English or should be part or portion
of the British possessions.
They had raised capital of half a million,
but what was the consequence? Instead of
being permitted to make a road which, with
out deviating to the right CT left. should go
straight to the promised land, they were COM
PEELED to squander somo thousands of pounds

q question of rivalry between the English and
the German company he should not mind, but
when the government backed mp the German
company it was not fair fght and that capt.

Instead OF people in two years time being
able to take tickets to Victoria Nysnzs there
would be nothing to show except a bushel of
treaties. But to the Germans there was no.
body to say even boo.

The closer you get horse to the obstacle the
hgher he will jump. Many young riders make
a mistake in rushing their horses at their
jumps, and the result is that instead of rising
at ii the animal takes i. in his stride and never
makes high jumper. l have seen horses so
perfectly trained IN this respect that they would
rot slowly or walk up TO jumps OF five feet and
over and clear them easily.
To sum il up briefly, to be good rider man
requires good hands. firm nerves. a strong seat
an even temper and little physical strength
LADIES RIDING.
Now word about ladies' riding. You may
say that the sex generally lack considerable in
the matter of physical strength, but 1 have
often noticed that on the point of handling
bad pullers q woman excels a man. principally
because her touch is lighter and more soothing
to the animal. and mere brute force plays little
part In the successful management OF the morse.
The ordinary lady rider should have a horse
that is perfectly steady to mount with an easy
mouth and pleasant action. and PAGES.

SHELLENBERGER SENTENCED.
He Gets Twenty-Five Years at Hard
Labor.

J. Monroe Shelleuberger, the lawyer of
Doylestown, Pa. was sentenced Thursday by
Judge Yerkes to imprisonment twenty-five
years at hard labor in the penitentiary. There
were seven bills Of indictment covering the
crimes Of forgery and embezzlement The
once popular and talented lawyer, who. rs dis
trict attorney of Bucks county, had made his
brilliant reputation ut the bar OF this very
court, he shrank from the gaze of his former
friends. and kept his head bowed. Congress
man Yardlye, who went from Washington to
assist IN the defense. sat at one OF the tables.
AS the bills Of indictment were read loud
groans and sobs came from Shellenberger
His counsel entered the plea of guilty in each
case. Shellenberger at times acted like a
mailman. He opened his handkerchief and
threw 1t over his head, rubbing his head and
face with 1t, and nervOusly shook the railing
of the dock with his hand and foot. Event
ually he leaned his head forward on the rail
and buried it i'll his arms, rocking himself
on the seat like a person suffering from acute
pain. At one time Shellenberger groaned so
loud and sobbed with such anguish that the
judge, In a nervous sort of way, told the dis
trict attorney to hasten his work and get it
over.
After all the indictments were read and a
plea OF guilty Was entered ia each case wit
nesses were called to show the character and
extent Of Shellenberger's rascalities. Judge
Hartman Yerkes, an old-time personal acquaint-
ance and professional and political associate
OF the prisoner for many years, pronounced the
sentence. Shellenberger never raised his head,
but went on grooming and weeping violently
Finally the words dropped from the Judge S
lips, twenty-five years at sOitary confinement,
with hard labor" Shellenberger gave a groan
of anguish and almost sank to the floor. The
blow seemed to stun the prisoner Ii was nee

MONG the many popular amuse-
.N ments that of late years have taken
INV hold Of the moneyed classes proba-
AN&bly none has made stronger foot
hold for itself than horseback rid
Ing. During the past two years its growth has
been marvellous and old people and youngsters,
fact, nearly all who can afford it, have made
riding the popular psstme par excellence.
"Will people continue to be as fond
OF riding as they are now?" l asked
Col. c. l.. Railey, the celebrated Kentucky
horseman, the other day, as we stood watching
the gay troop Of men and women Who were
cavorting around the ring of one of the up
town riding schools.
''Why, bless you said he, ''the pastime is
only in its infancy, and venture to say that
before two years have passed over our heads
you will see more people riding in New York
than you have ally idea Of"
At the same time | don't suppose that in any
other city will one find SO many varied styles
of horsemanship, and might add horse wOIuau-
ship. for if one strols through the sideways of
the park on any bright afternoon he will arrive
Ut the conclusion that he has seen every style
of riding under the sun.
have noticed men cantering through Cen
trail Park with all the harness Of q cowboy on
their horses, or again one will see those who
affect a military style of dress and seat that of
parade looks anything but becoming and. l
need not add, that anything approaching these
lines is extremely bad taste. But my object in
this somewhat brief article is to give few
points on the practice Of riding in a work
manlike" manner without regard to the vary
ing fashions of park or school equation, and
for that reason i shall commence with the
horse himself

HAIR CUTTING.
II is not known why barber in cutting hair
will, after each clip at the hair, continue to
snap the shears in his customers ear from six
to ten times before making the next cut. The
practice is not n very pleasant one 20 nervous
persons. but / suppose IL goes with the trade.
We will put up with il rather than return 10
the old style OF hair cutting as practiced on
children. usually by their parents. which Was
by placing a bowl over the head and then cut
ting all the hair that extended below the edge
Of it.
Those who suffer rom any form of throa,
trouble will be greatly benefited by no. inter
ierlng with their chin vhiskers-one OF the
projections provided by nature for those
organs.
BADNESS AND ITS CAUSES
There are many different opinions as to the
cause OF badness Some OF the eminent medi-
cal authorities state that il is caused by a form
OF dandruf. This, it is claimed. has been veri-
ned by taking the hair which has fallen of in
sueh cases rubbing il mp with vaseline and
after applying the ointment SO made to tine fur
" a"coAss odiuness mas rapldlN mace lts APP
Pearance on the parts so treated. When vase
line alone was used this result did not follow.
Inc same authority says that the disease Is
spread by hair dressers, who employ combs and
brushes on their customers. one after another r.
without regard to the cleanliness OF those arti-
cles. Women are less liable TO be effected by
this form Of badness FOR the reason that their
mar Is usually dressed AT home.
On the other hand some claim that too fire.
quent cutting of the hair is detrimental The
halr In some respects resembles a tree Sup.
pose the gardener were TO clip all the limbs
from a tree, regardless of the season o. the
year, as soon as they were two or three feet in
length. How long could the tree be expected
to survive? There is fluid substance in each
hair from which the hair gets its nourishment
the same as the tree gets its life and growth
from the sap which is conducted from il,
roots. Break the bark of tree and YOU vii
soon see the sap running down the trunk. The
same thing is believed to take place when 8
hair is cut, only il is not visible to the naked
eye. number Of the better class of barber
are endeavoring to overcome this evil by SINCE
ing the ends of the hair after cutting Thi.
Theoretically seals the ends and prevents IN,
escape of any fluid. This operation is per
formed with the aid of a small wax taper. The
hair is raised from the head with a comb aud
the lighted taper passed rapidly across the
ends. The operation is neither tedious nor
unpleasant Those that practice this style Of
treating the HAIR state that much good has re
suited from the process. MAS

governor. The report was prepared by Messrs
Poe and Laird as a subcommittee, and covers
forty-four printed pages. Mr.. Laird said the
paper was not considered in full at the meeting
nor was it discussed as a whole. At the request
of some members of the committee the mat
ter was further deferred until the meeting to-
day. full examination and consideration of
the report may suggest some changes or it may
not be accepted as drawn at present by the
fnll committee, and may undergo some changes
and notifications before it goes to the gov

some witnesses between whose testimony and
the records OF the controllers Office there is said
TO be an apparent discrepancy These
witnesses are chiefly the bank officials and
others from whom Mr.. Archer reported that
he had purchased bonds for the sinking fund.
In some instances the persons from whom the
bonds were reported to have been bought test

they were drawn and have every indication of
