DETROIT, Oct. 25.-One of the hair cut
ting Jacks, and there is no longer room
to doubt the existence of two, accom-
plished the boldest feat of the reign Of
terror Saturday. Lena Miller, Is years
old, was cleaning the windows of her en-
ployer's house. As usual. she sat on the
window sill with her feet inside and her
body outside A short, stout man leaped
over the back fence with long pair OF
shears in his hand. Miss Miller saw his
reflection in the newly cleaned window as
he grasDed her hair. which was done up
in braid, and saw him brandish his big
shears.
Dropped the Hair and Escaped.
She screamed and wiegled furiously,
but the window was down on her lap and
she was powerless. Mrs. Lezrotte, her
employer, heard her screams and rushed
to her assistance The hair cutter
dropped the hair but held to the shears
and vaulted the fence separating the
house from the alley. The hair cutters
have now numbered thirteen victims, and
written letters to prospective victims.
These letters are in The hands of the po-
lice and Jack may be caught.

WASHINGTON CITY. Oct. 25-This city
bids fair to be empty Of politicians next
week. 1t is pretty near that condition
now. Only two or three of the cabinet
are here. Secretary Blaine has gone west.
Secretary Tracy has gone to New York.
Secretary Proctor will go next week. Mr..
Wanamaker is in Pennsylvania, and so
are all the other Penn 'ylvanians who hold
high offices here. The president hopes to
be able to go to Indiana, and the attorney
general and Treasurer Huston will GER
tainly do so.
Not Prophesying Anything.
The Democratic and Republican COM
mittees are about ready to shut up shop,
and their rooms present deserted ap-
pearance. Both committees express con-
fidence in the result, but neither is in
dulging;n any bluster 1t is felt the cir
cumstances surrounding this election are
unusually uncertain, owing to the tariff
agitation, the Farmers Alliance business,
the redistricting of various states and
other special causes. The managers at
committee headquarters are therefore
puzzled, and freely confess that they are.

DUBLIN, Oct. 29.-Balfour, who arrived
at the Island of Achill Monday, passed
the night at the residence of the parish
priest. He received an ovation on land
ing in Achill. He said he was glad to
meet the people, and expressed sorrow for
the failure of their potatoes, which he
knew would cause them much suffering.
He was glad he had been able to sanction
the construction of railway within seven
miles OF the island, which he said would
give them employment, and he hoped to
be able to extend the line to the island.
A number of peasants took Balfour to
various fishing stations and after dark
escorted him over the mountains.
The Irish Secretary Saws Wood.
The secretary promised to finish a bridge
between two points Of the island, and to
defray the expenses out of his own pock-

pressed their gratitude On the road back

by knots of people at various points. One

him to bring peace and prosperity to the
country. At Westport Balfour received

priest, who drew his attention to the

The priest said that the system of afford

were likely to prove greatly to the benefit

Arrest of a Counterfeiter.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 25.-Henry
Arnold was arrested here on the charge of
counterfeiting. His system consisted of
raising 81 bills to $40 with pen and ink.
Many of these have been detected, but for
a long time the police have been unable
to trace them to their source. The clew

of the girl, and he was supported in his
assertions by Arnold's evidence The

THE only way two scarf pins may be worn is
to have one in tho scarf in front and the other
in the back in contiguity with the collar and
preventing the band from getting up behind.
THE heavy undressed kid glove seems to be
coming forward prominently, while the un-

upon the back and large mother-of-pearl but

THE turnover collars are appearing in greater
varieties There is now style in the market
with two buttonholes in front upon an extra
wide band, the idea being to have the collar set
as high up under the chin as a standing effect.
Such plan naturally will secure the patronage
of the long-necked fraternity that have hereto

friend The effect is quite successful in impart-

the proprietor's wife, who appeard to
labor under a series of ingenious and
elaborate mistakes, Finally, one day, Mrs.

American woman read the other such
lecture upon the sin and impertinence of
opening another persons mail as put an end
forever to her elaborate excuses. In fact, it
frightened her so thoroughly that from that
hour she rellglously sent up TO Mrs. John
A. Logan every scrap of mail that bore the
name of Logan, even where it was indubi-
tablv intended for herself or even for her
husband. This was making an amende
honorable, of which Mrs. Logan, even in
her state of irritation. did not choose to
avail herself Mrs. Landlady Logan prob
ably considered, however, that she had
amply atoned by giving her guest an equal
chance with herself at the mail.

Queer Places for Everything, and Everything
in Queer Places.
All of his life Judge Nicholson has re-
sided to himself, in room over which he
was the sole master, says the Athens, Ga,
Banner. While this domicile was not as
neat, perhaps. as many parlors, at the same
time there was place for everything and
everything was in its place. For instance,
the Judge always keeps his shoes on the
mantelplece, and his kindling wood con-
cealed between the mattresses, split-bot-
toned chair did service as a washstand, and
be kept his Sunday clothes nicely hung up
on the floor in one corner of the room. But
while these arrangements were not such as
many ladies would endure. they had the
advantage of convenience, and the darkest
night the owner could place his hand on
any article he needed.
While Judge Nicholson is one of the
most charitable of men, and his hand is ever
open to the poor and needy, he takes care of
his possessions. AS an illustration, the year
after the surrender he bought lot of light
wood to kindle his fire. 1t was stored away
in his wardrobe and bureau drawers, and
only one piece at a time taken out, that was
hid in his bed. The Judge has used from
that same load of pine now for over a quar-
ter of century, and he told us yesterday
that he has several sticks yet left-enough
TO last him years to come, with economy.
But this is not all. He has whisk broom
and hair brush he has used constantly for
over 80 years, and they are in good condi-
ton vet
