important Successes Achieved by the
Congressional Party.
Mr. Varas, one of the ENJOYS of the Chilian
Congressional party, last night reiterated in
the strongest terms his previous statements
as to the cruelties practiced with the knowl-
edge of Balmaceda upon well-known citizens
who were suspected of sympathizing with the
Congressional party. Mr.. Varas said that he
had personal knowledge of many of these
cruelties, and the facts, as stated In the press

and are obliged to keep themselves secreted.
AS to the recent capture OF the Fort of
Huasco, Mr.. Varas said that an attempt was
being made by Balmaceda's party to helttle
the Importance OF the capture. The fact is,
he said, that the capture was of great impor-
tance, and that had it been possible Baima-
ceda's army would have held 1t at all hazards.
Operating from Hu0sco the Congressional
army Will not only be able to prevent the op
posing forces from making move on Gal
dera, as was contemplated, but il is now in a
position to hold the Valley of Huasco. which
is one of the most fertile in that section of the
country, and from which the Congressional
army can draw abundant supplies of provi-
sons and forage. At the same time il is in
much better position from which to move
against Balmaceda's army further south
The Chilian Minister Resident here has re-
ceived telegram to the effect that the Gov

going to the ports declared closed, without
provisions, forage, or coal, will not be received
In ports under its jurisdiction, and that ships
destined to ports to the north of these will
only be received after giving such guarantee
as the Government may demand.

The Secretary of state Inclined to Be
Crusty When Not Feeling Well.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Cashier Wells, of the Duquesne, for several
years before he came to Pittsburg held the
same position in the Normandie at Washing

Phelps took rooms in the house, and this fact,
heralded all over the country by the news
papers, made the hotel Mr.. Wells is great
admirer of Blaine, and he had an excellent
opportunity to study his habits
At times when his gout was little worse
than usual, and he was bothered by callers
and affairs of state, the Plumed Knight was
inclined to comb down everybody around him
lie would growl at his secretary, and then ask
sarcastically, "What kind of secretary are
you, auyhow?n ?n He had new man named
Dent, and when the Secretary was in bad
humor Dent would sometimes confde his woes
to Mr.. Wells Blaine, however, would soon
forget what he said and in a short time would
be as kind as he was crusty few minutes
before.
The colored bell boys had mortal fear of
him, and they would quake when his bell rang
The Secretary would frequently call for boy,
ana when he came would often be so busy
writing that he would forget he was present
sometimes, after standing for awhile, the boy
would turn to go, when Blaine would growl
out: hoy, where are you going ?" and then
the kid would tremble. One morning early
the Secretary's bell rang, and one of the
colored chaps fastened to answer it. Mr.
Blaine Was In his night robe, walking the floor
and running his hands through his hair, while
In deep thought and evidently worried about
something. The bell boy was pretty badly
scared and expected to get lively blast. All at
once Mr.. Blaine stopped, and placing his hand
on the kids shoulder said in his best voices
"Boy, don't you ever be Secretary of State.

and did much to smooth out his nerves on

Salt Water For the Hair.
Herald of Health.


The hair, like every portion of the human
frame, If uncared for, will go to waste and
eventually drop out This is due to split
ting OF the ends of the hair, SO that the in
terror oil duct which nourishes the hair is ex-
posed, and the natural nourishment of the
hair runs TO waste, overhows upon the
head forming dandruff, which impedes
the growth of the hair just as much
as the tares among wheat. The best means to
prevent this is strengthening of the hair
and this can easily be accomplished by fire.
quent cutting and the use of salt water. Have
you ever noticed what bushy hair seafaring men
have? Did you ever see a bald sailorY tt is
because their hair is in constant contact with
the inyigoratng salt air, and is often wet with
salt water. A good tonic of salt water should
contain teaspoonful of salt to a tumbler of
water, and should be applied to the hair two
or three times week. The effect at the end
OF month will be surprising.
