the Beauty Spot Face Covering-Some-
thing About Usages in Biblical Times
and Among the Orientals.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcHl
Rev. Alfred Nevin SAYS wells were by no
means so common in biblical as in modern
times. In sncient times the veil was
adopted only in exceptional cases, either as
an article of ornamental dress or by be-
trothed maidens, in the presence of their
future husbands, especially at the lime of
the wedding, or lastly, by women for pur-
pose of concealment. Among the Jews of
the New Testament age it appears to have
been customary for the women to cover their
heads, not necessarily their faces, when en-
gagged in public worship. Biblical refer
ences to the veil are very frequent Is it
any wonder, then, to my fair readers, that
wells of the present day are such valuable
adjuncts to any lady's wardrobe when
authentic history describes their use almost
from the beginning? The Turkish women
OF our own free times are never allowed to ap-
pear in public without the fiImy covering,
and many of their sisters in more favored
climes are yet compelled by custom to ad-
here to wells. Now We are not restricted to
the use of wells for certain purposes, but we

to her appreciation and judgment.
Agrippina placed Nero upon the throne
of the Caesars, Helen brought de-

Antony the world, Madam de Pompadour
ruled Louis XIV. and inspired the war
which lost Canada for France and almost
bankrupted the kingdom.

STILL MISSING.

Hon. Henry Boyle Seeks News Of His
Brother in San Francisco.
Hon. Henry Boyle, who was in Seattle .
week ago last Saturday. seeking informa-
ton Of his missing brother. Viscount Rob
ert Boyle. proceeded to Portland to Gee De-
tective Sullivan. of Thiel's Detective
Agency, for the purpose of securing his as
sistance in cleaning information concern
ing his brother.
r. T. Haslam, of this city. m old friend
OF Hon. Henry Boyle, received letter
day before yesterday. dated at San Fran
CISCO May 8. and informing him that he
thought moro could be done by going to
San Francisco than by remaining in Port
land. Since arriving there he had ascer-
tanned that . passenger, registered as
"R Bohl." had arrived in San Fran
cisco from Tacoma on the steamer
Mexico, November 20, 1857. This date tall
hes with the date viscount Boyle left Van
couver, B. c., namely, November IA, and
he feels certain that it must have been his
brother. He thinks the viscount must
have sailed from San Francisco for either
South America or Africa, and that he will
yet be found alive.
Mr.. Haslam says he Is Of the opinion
that Viscount Boyle has met with foul
play or accidentally fallen off wharf. and
while it is reasonable for his brother to
hope for news of him. the probabilities are
that the viscount will never be found alive.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Several Persons Injured in Cable C
Collision.

Several Persons Injured in . Cable Car
Collision.
Quite q serious accident, although at
tended by no dangerous injury to any of
the parties endangered, occurred on the
Front street cable line at the corner of Sec
ond and Pine streets, at 4:45 O'Clock last
evening.
At the time mentioned, dummy 4 and
car 4. in charge OF Gripman Charles Hollo-
way and Conductor William Coldwell,
were bound down town ard were on the
incline from Stewart to Pine street, when
farm wagon loaded with furniture, and
in which were Mrs. e. J. Epurrier and her
young son and daughter, crossed the track
on its way up the Second street hill. The
team crossed right above the curve, where
the track turns into Pine street, and had
cleared it, when the horses became fright
ened and began backing up. The wagon
swung back across the track and in an in
slant the dummy struck it.
Gripman Holloway put on the brakes
when. the team began backing, but could
not stop the train. The wagon was over
turned and badly smashed and Mrs. Spur
rier thrown to the ground. while the front
Of the dummy was com pletely demolished.
A Miss Anderson. living at Blanchard
and Sixth streets, jumped from the coach
Just before the collision occurred and
sprained her ankle. Mrs. w. J. Daw-
son, wife OF the assistant supcrintend-
ent OF the line, was riding on the
front of the dummy, but Gripman Hollo-
way had the presence of mind to lift her
into the gripmen's inciosure This action
probably saved her life. As it was she was
struck on the breast by the grip lever and
quite badly hurt. Mrs. Spurrier escaped
with few slight bruises and bad shaking
up. DR.. P. b. NJ. Miller. surgeon for the
road. was sent for and attended to the in
jured and had them removed to their
homes.
No blame is attached to either the grip
men or conductor. On the contrary their
behavior is praised. Mrs. Spnrrier and
children were on the way from South
Seattle to Ballard, where they were moving.
The front end and grip of dummy
No. 2, of the Front street lire,
were both badly smashed in front
Of the Arlington hotel at 5 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon by colliding with
the hind wheel of q Puget Sound
Ice Company's ice-wagon. The wagon, it
is claimed, was deliberately swung in front
OF the dummy by w. c. Johnson. the
driver, and bill for the damages will be
sent to the Puget Sound Ice Company by

Quinn challenged the Jap. and yesterday
afternoon the two wrestlers met IN the
Posr-IxrELLIeKxcEE Office to arrange the
conditions At frst the Jap was willing TO
wrestie best two out of three match but
after an animated discussion he accepted
Quinn's proposition to throw him three
times in one hour. Quinn declared that II
he should be thrown himself it
would not count, but the Jap
cited numerous instances where he
had been engaged in contests that the party
offering to throw his man three times in an
hour should be thrown once himself 1t
would give the contest to the other man.
The Jap demanded that this rule should
hold good in this contest. which provoked
more discussion and objection from Quinn.
Finally. however, Quinn agreed 10 this
plan and the match stands that Quinn
must throw the Jap three times in an hour

The editor of Inc LeSueur Sentinel mas
brought suit against the editoro of the Le-
Sueur NewS for criminal libel. The news
paper fraternity of Minnesota will de-
pricate the thought that the young edit
or of the NewS has seen proper to attack
Bro. Green to the extent of causing ar
rest on such a charge as has been pre-
ferrsd. Without siding with one as
against the other, and without knowing
the p~rovocation which furnished the in
centive for Bro. Hellen's strong Ian
guage, the FREE PRESS can justly and
truly say that Mr.. Green's newspaper
career, SO far as his dealings are known,
has been honorable. He Is an old gen.
tleman on the down hill side of life, and
1t is unfortunate that he should now be
made q party ID any way to a case of this
character. 'Tvere al right TO call each
other ''liar, - "hypocrlte," "scoundrel, .
"demagogue," "unprincipled," "unre-
generate s'uncivilized, sour" ETC.,
but the line should be drawn somewhere
this side of criminality.

IT reported from Washington that Nj.
Blaine is at work perfectlng his plans
for reciprocity. which, when made pub
lie, as it probably will before congress
meets, viii give the leaders of the Re-
publican party some thing to consider
to relieve them from the depressing ef-
feet of the election. He is reticent, but
as the world knows his earnestness
when he takes hold of q thing, it is pre-
dicted that his recommendations VIII re-
invigorate and give fresh impulse to the
party, and inspire the rank and file with
old time confidence and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Blaine is the personifcation of pro-
lection ideas, and his reciprocity views

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

The result Of election on Secretary Of
State hal been a good deal in doubt,
many Democrats claiming the election
of Mr.. Lindholm and no inconsiderable
number Of Republicans conceding that
such a result was more thar likely. Mr..
Brown, the Republican nominee, has
been on the anxious seat, inasmuch as
returns OF ANYTHING like a satisfactory
nature were lacking, and could not seem
TO be secured until Saturday. The Of
fetal count of all the counties, with four
or five exceptions, has now been re-
ceived, and all doubt is removed. Mr..
+. p. Brown comes out with q plurality
of nearly 5000 most gratifying show.
ing indeed, and especially pleasing TO
his many friends who have been hang
ing on the ragged edge of suspense for
the past two weeks, fearful lest he may
have been drowned in the general flood
which swept over the country, The Re-
pubIicans elected their entire state tick
ct with the single exception of State
Auditor, Mr.. MCGUIRE being defeated
by the Democrat-AIIiance candidate,
Mr. Adolph Bierman, with pIuralitias
running from 1000 to $4,000.
The Republicans of Minnesota lack q
good deal of being dead yet.
