INFECTION DUE TO SHAVING.
What Leading British Medical Journal
Says on the Subject.

Notwithstanding that tho subject has
recently given rise to some discussion
in the daily press. there can be no
reasonable doubt rs to the causation
of parasitic sycosis. and the frequent
responsibility Of BARRIERS for its pro-
pagation. says the London Lancet. We
will not deny that the disease may oc-
casionally arise from accidental con-
tact other than that Of infected soap
and brush. Its close connection with
these, however. is affirmed by the
evidence of common and persistent
sequence of events. We need not
dwell upon the tenacity with which it
clings to the hair Of the face. nor will
we examine the methods used by the
derinatologist for its destruction.
Sanitary cleanliness is here better than
any remedy. aud the assertion Of this
important fact is the result Of the
somewhat lengthy newspaper cor
respondence already mentioned. 1t
has been impressed by different writer's
In various ways. Thus we are advised
to shave ourselves, to avoid the cheap
barber.t to use precautions with brushes
and the like. Perhaps the advice first
given would prove the best. but the
professional operator is to many per-
sons indispensable. The truest wisdom
for oneself in such O case is clearly to
use due care in selecting barber.
Whatever he is not, no must be clean
and careful. 1t should not be forgot
ten that there are possible safeguards
well within the reach Of this class of
tradesmen which customer may fair
" exact for his own security as part of
the common law of shaving. These
include the use of perfectly fresh
water and SOAP or preferably shaving
cream. as admitting Of exclusive use.
a clean brush. and clean razor for
each person shaved. We should also
advise. as q further but not superHuous
precaution, that instruments after
washing be dipped in some convenient
antiseptic solution. Such measures as
these require but little time to carry
them our. They are needful in order
to insure immunity from contagion.

At the meeting of the Retail Cletks'

was reported that ii. Roman had agreed to
close his store at s o'clock, and Messrs.
Gildea. Dyas and Campbell were appointed
a committee to wait on Meyer & Levy, tho

Gervan and request them to close their stores
at 8 o'clock.
After the installation of the newly elected
officers, Delegates O'Connell and Cannon
from the Council of Federated Trades 2p-
peared before the association and stated tgIat
they had been appointed to ask for the re-
consideration of the withdrawal of Delegate
Dundas from the council by the association
They spoke very highly Of the delegate ard
of his work for the association in the e0Gn-
Gil, but denied that his position in the cOu1-
Gil is remunerative one.
President Johnston stated that the dele
gate had been recalled for delinquency in
his duties to the association, and Dundas
himself pleaded that he had worked faitt-
fully for the association in the council. He
was delinquent for two months dues, and
oil this he had been unaware until yester-
day. Several OF the members of the aSsl-
clation indorsed the delegate highly, and en-
motion the action of the association with
drawing him from the council was rescinded.
Federated Council Delegate 0'Connell then
strongly urged the association to drop all its
petty quarrels and chickering's and avoid all
personalities at its meetings. The members
have plenty of work to do to aid the aSSG-
citation without internal disputes.

A TERROR TO MINERS.
Snow Slides That Garry Desolati
Through the Clutches.

Snow Slides That Carry Desolation
Through the Clutches.
March is the month In which snow slides
are most frequent in this State. says the
Denver News. Dwellers along the sides of the
Alps are in constant danger of avalanches I;
but it is doubtful if avalanches have caused
more destruction and loss of life than have
snow-slides in this State. No other State in
the union or of the Territories through which
the Rockies pass has suffered so much from
this source as has Colorado. The recent
snow-slide at Crested Butte caused loss
of four lives and destroyed much property,
but even greater destruction has been
wrought in this State by 81 ding snow dur
ing the past ten years. these calamities
usually occur in March, when the snow be-
comes soft and the least jar starts it flying
down the side of the mountain. down into
some peaceful valley, carrying everything
before it.
Probably the most disastrous OF these
snOw-slides occurred on March II, 1884, at
Woodstock, just above Pitkin. Seventeen
lives were lost in this horror and the little
town was almost wiped out of existence.
The great mass of snow which formed the
slide broke free from its resting place on
the side of the mountain about o'clock
that evening, and in On instant had started
laundering down the mountain side. I'M
mense trees were broken off short like so
many reeds and houses were torn from
their foundation and buried hundreds of
feet under the snow. Among those who
met death In this slide we're the six sons Of
Mrs. Doyle, and young lady from Golden
who had been visiting the family escaped
by a miracle. Mrs. Doyle was the only
member Of this family who escaped death,
and if she had not been visiting friends
when the snow began moving, it is probable
that she, too, would have been numbered
among the dead.
The saddcst Incident connected with this
calamity was the death of one of the sons.
The young lady who was visiting the fam
lily was the boys sweetheart. just before
the snow began to move she and her youth
full lover. to whom she was engaged to be
married, were standing In front Of his moth
er's house, spOoning, as all lovers do, and
telling the same old story again. Suddenly
the boy cast his eyes up to the high noun
tain and remarked, "There is deep snow up
there and we are likely to have snow-slide.
This house is in danger"
He little knew how soon his prediction
was to be verified. The two spent the en-
tire afternoon together and just as they
started into the house for supper the slide
came. They could hear it rumbling and
groaning, and quick as a flash the boy
grabbed his sweetheart about the waist and
clasped her hand in his. The next mo-
ment they were under the snow and her
hand was still In his. She was fully con-
scious of what had happened. for a friendly
timber had saved her from death, but
the snow prevented her from moving. She
spoke to her sweetheart, whom she could
not see, and heard him answer IN faint

To Purchase the Finest Goods at the
Lowest Prices, at Pinkierts.
The announcement is made that Mr..
Pinkiert. the well-known and enterprising
merchant who engaged in business at Pin
kiert's Bazaar, at 937, 939, 941 Market street,
has secured most extraordinary bargain,
which will enable him to place before the
public goods thai they can purchase at ex-
ceedingly low prices, and it will be an
opportunity that presents itself but
once In lifetime. The bargain se-
cured by Mr.. Pinkiert is the entire
stock of elegant and useful goods
that were in the store of Eastland,
Fowler & Co., recently forced into ins OIL
vency,. 1t is one OF the finest stock of goods
that has ever been placed under one roof,
and includes the best crockery, glass
ware, lamps, bIsaues, fancy goods,
bar goods, restaurant goods, house,
hold untensils, tlnware, agate-ware, yellow
ware, Japanese goods, BABY: carriages, bird

When the firm was forced into insolvency
an attempt was made by one of the
largest creditors to secure the stock,
but the other creditors applied to the
courts and finally receiver was appointed.
goods in way that would prove
of the greatest benefit to the cred
itors, and it was not until Mr..
Pinkiert took the whole lot that he con-
cluded that he had made good sale. The
purchaser, who has on number of occa-
sions demon strated that he knows how to
please the public, will to-day commence his
sale, which he declares will be continued
from day to day until every article is sold.
These goods, he says, were secured at a low
figure, and they will be disposed of at cor
respondingly low figure, so that those who
are in need of what is offered may have
the opportunity to secure great bargains.
But in order to do this they must visit the
Market-street store early. Arrangements
have been made to enable intending pur-
chasers to view the fine goods without
trouble, and large force of clerks win be
OH hand to attend to the wants Of all.

British Capital to Be Consolidated Into an
Enormous Trust for the Purchase

Special to THE MoRN1Ss CALI.

LONDON, April SIN an article in the
FOrtnightly Review, the Duke of Marlbor-
ough says that English railways are toys
compared with those of the United States,
and that the fares aud freight rates average
one-third Of those charged in England. He
adds: "Of course it is impossible to say the
amount of harm and Indebtedness that may
be created by a group .Who obtain possess
sion of one of these magnificent monopolies.
Tue hard fact is that such properties should
be got hold Of, and it is strange to consider
the class Of men that are growing up in
America in consequence, who in their way
are greater despotS and WELD great power
than any great medieval Bar of Norman
times.
"IV1nture to make this suggestion to a
very big man in the railway world, whose
California interests in railways amount to a
great many tens of millions of dollars. He
was, he told me, "a simple man. and had
no high social aspirations. 1t was
true he had obtained great power
and wealth, but he thought that
on the whole it was n distinct benefit to his
country that he had succeeded as he had,
and that his paternal form OF administration
of issuing his ukases from his quiet Office
in New York, although it might not always
snit Wall street, was distinct advantage TO
The marvellous thing was that the
American public, which prides itself on its
democratic institutions, should have all
lowed this arstoeracy 10 grow up in their
midst, which is daily becoming infinitely
more powerful ana infinitely more danger
Gus than all the feudal aristocrac les Of
Europe put together.
what is wanted to make the Influence of
foreign capital in American railway prop
eEty secure is to collect together the scattered
and dsjOinted interests of English investors
and consolidate these blocks of securities in
the hands OF a powerful and well admins
tered corporation that will make it its sole
business 10 uphold the voting value of these
stocks in America.
"I am aware that various trust conf
panleS OF late have been organized in Lon
don for this purpose, but their attention is
more directed TO paying large dividends on
founders shares than organizing a strong
front on English capital In American rail-
ways. If such a corporation as | have
suggested devoted itself to obtaining
a controlling interest in certain groups of
railways that were naturally and strategic
ally allied to one another. solid power
might be built up, and English investors
would not be shaken out of their holdings and
made the victims of these big operators in
Amerca. The only way to guard our inter-
ests is by consolidating our forces, otherwise
/ am free to admit that our investing public
had better keep out of American railway
securities altogether"
