cHARLEYS PRECIOUS HAIR.

He had the air of man of the world.
His dress -Ias becoming and not too
showy. He seemed to be an individual
who had dined well, who would tell
good stories at the club.
| Stretched out IN the BARRIERS chair in
the hairdresser's room on School street,
instead of settling down with that IN
different, self satisfied air that usually
comes over a man in that situation, he
seemed troubled. He elooked about from
chair to chair, and yet he was not happy.
The barber shaved him and was so i'm
| pressed that he even forgot to talk him
to death. Then the man sat bolt up
right in the chair and took an envelope
from his pocket. 1t was scented; the
barber could tell that. 1t was written
in a lady's hand too.
The strange man opened it, tool out a
note, read it over and over again, then
from its folds withdrew lock of hair.
It was golden, and the victims who were
waiting for their turn in the chair saw
him kiss the sunny lock and put it back
in the envelope.
"Hair cut?" asked the barber, as he
rubbed the tufts of hair which sur
rounded bald spot on the strange mans
head.
No, no, not for the world" he re-
piled, II cannot spare any
Man in next chair has hair like yours,
only little more Of it" suggested the
barber
'.By Jeve, he has" said the troubled
man, and he darted out of his seat and
almost jumped to the occupant of the
next chair.
''Going to have hair cut?" asked the
strange man.
mo" was the rather curt reply.
"Well, will you have hair cut at my
expenser" said the man without hesita-
ton. Il must send my best girl a lock
of hair, and l can't spare mine. Come,
how much is it WORTH and the eyes of
the colored boy who brushes coats
bulged out beyond his forehead.
"Sell it for small bottlei' replied
the man with good growth on his
head, and the stranger answered, "I1l

The barber began his work, and lock
of the mans hair was handed over to
the stranger, who put it in little silver
locket that bore a monogram. Then,
when the work was finished the two
walked out together.
The stranger was smiling contented-
ly, the clubman grinned, the barber
laughed and the customers gazed on in
astonishment.
Wasn't Charley dear, good fellow

night as she took tine daintiest sort of a
lock from the little box. And all was
still but for the beating of her faithful

NEW YORK, April 15-The Stats lei
tung has received the following dispatch
from its Berlin correspondent:
According 10 your order | visited Mr..
Phelps. the American minister, relative to
the German-American incident in regard
to which the German press Is making SO
much fuss. Mr.. Phelps authorized me to
cable you for publication the following
facts: Mr.. Phelps never thought of ask
ing Baron Marshal Won Bierberstein, the
minister of state of the foreign office, for
an interview for the purpose OF discussing
the relations between the United States
and San Domingo and between
Germany and San Domingo. The
American minister saw the baron,
however, on business relating to the new
new extradition treaty which will he con-
cluded between Germany and the United
States. During the conversation Mr..
Phelps jokingly referred to San Domings,
stating that The United States had made
considerable concessions to that republic
without receiving anything in return The
baron likewise jokingly remarked: i did
not know that America is eXercisinga pro-
tectorate over San Domingo; but, never
theless, Germany could not act differently
towards San Domingo That is the long
and short of the whole story, which is be-
ing used against Mr.. Phelps in an unheard
of manner by the German press"

THE ENGLISH ARMY.

LONDON, April Is - The revelations
made in the evidence on the state of the
British army given before the committee
of inquiry presided over by Lord Vantage
have been the sensation of the week. The
recommendation which the committee
previously published were a series of dry
and formal propositions, indicating moth
ing Of the extraordinary statements of the
leading military chiefs The revelations
were of such nature as will lead to a
most active agitation in parliament as
soon as the recess is over The group of
military members of the house of com
mons have already seen War Secretary
Stanhope privately, and have obtained
from him a promise that the government
shall not obstruet full discussion and
consequent reforms. The generals examin-
ed concurred in the opinion that there was
hardly "a single infantry battalion at home
fitted for effective service
.AdjutaDt General Wood declared that
SO per cent of the men encamped at Alder
shot were unfit for duty; that they could
not even do the days service on account OF
their youth and lack of stamina and that
the only practice he dared to put on such
men was two hours carrying a pack on
sentry duty.
The duke of Cambridge, commander-in-
chief, indorsed the foregoing statement,
adding that if called upon to mobilize two
army corps on short notice the authorities
could not do so, and that he did not think
1t possible to mobilize one corps composed
of twenty-five battalions of infantry
LORD Wolseley, in response to ques-
tion whether the battalons as they now
stand would be fit for home defense, re-
piled: IF we were invaded tomorrow,
they would be better than nothing" He
held that the volunteer force was the
most important factor in defense The
main cause of the weakness of the bat
talions is stated TO he the depletion of
their best men for foreign and colonial
service. Lord WolSeley likened the home
forces TO a squeezed lemon.
The duke of COnnaught held that grown
men would not join the service, owing to
the fact that the wearers of the queens
uniform are socially ostracized, and also
because the soldiers are wantonly bur-
dened with excessive sentry duty He
related a number of instances showing the
contempt in which the soldiers uniform is
held.
In regard to methods or reform, there
was a consensus of opinion that a substan-
tial increase Of the strength OF the home
battalions would come from more liberal
pay and better pensions. With the vol
unteers the reliance in the event of war is
placed.

The Romans Did Not Use Soap.

The Romans were not acquainted
with the use of regular soap, but they
employed an alkali, with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out OF their
clothes. This alkali, called nitrum, is
referred to by Pliny, but the cheapest
solvent was urine, which was mostly
used. The clothes were put in this,
mixed with water and then stamped
upon with the feet This process was
performed by old people, while boys
lifted the clothes out of the tubs. The
white garments, after being washed,
were subjected to the vapor of sulphur,
being stretched on frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people in
Rome cleansed their bodies with meal
of lupins, called lomentum, which, with
common meal. is still used in SONS
.,idces for that purpose knowledge.

LONDON, April 15.-Following his diplo-
matte success regarding the firman of in
yesriture of the khedive, Lord Salisbury
has clinched his hold on the khediEe by
melting him TO an open quarrel with the
sultan. In response to the sultan's lnyl-
tation to Constantinople the khedive intI-
mated that the recall of Moukbtar Pasha,
the porte's delegate at Cairo, was first de-
sirable. Moukhtar Pasha made the Tuls-
take or demanding change in the Egyp-
tian ministry. The English minister
thereupon got the khediye to wire to the
sultan that Moukhtar Pasha had AFRO,
gantly interfered in Egyptian affairs and
ought to be withdrawn. AS a further
proof of his acceptance of English domin-
ance the khedive will send his only
brother, Mehemet Ali, now at school IN
Vienna, to finish his education in England.

RAIl WAY NOTES.

CHICAGO, April 15-Traffic Manager
Murray of the Big Four had an interview
today with Chairman Blanchard of the
Central Traffic association, as result of
which Mr. Blanchard made the following z
statement to the Associated Press:
Il wish.in justice to Mr.. Murray and the
important interests he represents, to cor
rect the reports given to the press of his
action at the meeting of this association
on "Wednesday. He did not Withdraw his
company from the association nor an
nounce an intention to disrupt rates.
What he said was that if it was found that
the association would not con-
slider or act justly upon carefully
cons sidered proposals intended to correct
traffic irregularities. his company would
withdraw from the association in that
event. Nor did he give notice OF indepen-
dent action in the reduction OF rates. On
The contrary. he agreed to await the vote
of the joint committee on the proposals
introduced by others for like purpose,
which met his concurrence, reserving HIS
right to vote on the matter after the vote
had been announced, which right has
been exercised in prior instances of equal
importance-all of which seems to indi-
cate that there is no great danger after all
of the Big Four's withdrawing from the
association. y
