Tho Thandersr,s Suicide pay.

A young Philadelphian, who has been
employed on the staff of more than one
newspaper in this city, went abroad and
secured a position as reporter for the
London Times When he was deemed
sufficiently broken in he was sent out
one evening to write up the story of q
rich and beautiful girl who had taken
chloroform because her lover failed to
appear at the altar when due.
The young Philadelphia raced MINI
bly, about, gathering various particu-
lars and hurried back to the office in y
cab, after getting his copy into shape.
Not far from midnight he sped up the
stairs to the local room and turned in
his copy with apologies for his unavoid-
able lateness.

HISTORY OF SHAVING

Alexander Of Greece Is Said to Have
Been the First Barber-Beards Have
Been Common During the History of
Earliest Races-Some Remarks.
To THE EDIToR-Can you tell us when shay
ing came into fashion, also something of the
history of beards2 BROWN AND JONES.
This question is apropos. At this
period, when the Nineteenth century is
coming to the end of the division, the
fire has been put out in the box and old
father time has reversed the wheels and
put on the brakes, it is particularly fit
ting that somebody, either Brown or
Jones or both, should arise and put this
question. 1t is fin de steele question.
The first instance of shaving originated
from the necessities Of war. In the late
autumn Of the year 800 B. c., the Mace
domains got their crops in early, and
after the celebration of the harvest home
things got pretty uninteresting in Mace
donna. It was too cold to fish and too
warm to skate, and the prospect for the
Macedonian on pleasure bent when he
fired up the baseburner and reflected
that skates hadn't been invented yet was
not happy one.
Things continued to drag ON until
Thanksgiving time, 800 B. O., when the
Macedonians got together, sailed down
on the Greeks and did them battle. The
Greeks got the worst of it. and for no
other reason than that they sported long,
flowing boards. The marauding Mace
domains grabbed these Grecian orna-
ments and yanked the poor.G Greek forty
ways for Sunday, leaving him a howl
ing mass on the ground. 1t was this
incident that probably gave rise to the
connlet:

N. Y. Times: But while the strikers

N. Y. Times But while the strikers at Homestead cannot in any sense be held accountable for the act of this crack brained anarchist, they have given an in- direct encouragement to lawless notions of which such an act is always possible outcome. They have set agoing impulses the consequences of which are beyond their control. When they met the Pink erton men on the banks of the Mononga- hela river with weapons in their hands. and began to shoot them down as they attempted to land, they taught lesson of violence and disregard of the restraints of law which carried with it all the possi- bilities of anarchy. The difference be- tween the shooting of Pinkerton men as the hired foes of organized labor and the shooting of MT. Prick as the arch-enemy of all workingmen in the fevered imagina- tion of the rabid anarchist is a difference only of degree. The latter was an ex- treme manifestation of the spirit display ed in the former.

The New York Morning Advertiser re- views briefly the record of the labor trou- bles in 1887. shows how bad it was, how the calamity howler was at work and how 8 serious crisis al ose and was at last dis posed of. Then it continues But what became of the country? Oh, in due time peace was established, the railroads re- stunned operations, labor saw that it had made sad mistake, prosperity showered it's blessings over the land, the tariff con- tinued to do business at the old stand.

A very general impression among mili- tary men is that the punishment inflict- ed upon Private Iams of the Pennsylvania national guard for proposing three cheers for the man who shot Prick" was unjusti- fable. Iams's offense certainly called for severe punishment, but it does not yet appear that punishment cruel and un- usual in form was demanded. There are times when an example must be made of an offender, in order to check danger ous tendency exhibited in body of men, There is no reason to suppose that in this case there was at any time the slightest danger that the sympathy expressed by Iams for the anarchist who tried to kill MT. Prick was shared by any of his con- rades.

The Courant's correspondent makes the following timely suggestion: "This is 8 good time for housekeepers to look after their cellar shelves for storage of canned fruits. The damp cellars are certain de- struction to the iron nails which hold them together, and several households here have been deprived of their winter stock of preserves within year by the fall of the heavily loaded shelves, the cause of which was the rusting away of the nails. A woman of experience rec ommends that the man of the house make it rule to drive new nails into the sides supporting the shelves, just at this time when canning is in order.

Under the rules laid down by Judge Magee it looks rather blue for the leader of the Homestead strikers, MT. O'Donnell. Every man who was present at the riots and who did not do all in his power to prevent the killing of the Pinkerton men was legally guilty of murder. This is rather sweeping principle, but not no one seems to question it's soundness in law. O'Donnell is now declared to be nephew of man of the same name who had mo- torious connection with the Molly Ma guire" outbreak few years ago.

As matter of fact, the cause of the reduction of wages at Homestead was due to increase of competition in the busi- ness and consequent reduction of the price of the product to American con- sumers.

Andrew Carnegie said to 8 representa- tive of the associated press: "I have not attended to business for the past three years, but have implicit confidence in those who are managing the mills in Pennsylvania. Further than that 1 have nothing to say" It is known that MT. Carnegie is greatly distressed by the murderous attack of Bergman upon MT. Prick, and that he daily receives many cable dispatches giving the fullest partic- ulars of his condition. It Is very evident that MT. Carnegie has no intention of re- turning to America at the present time.

The attitude of the socialistic party towards the attempt to kill MT. Prick may be observed from what the New Yorker Volks Zeitung, the organ of the socialistic labor party, says. upon the sub- ject. It disapproyes of the attempt to kill MT. Prick, not on humanitarian the socialistic movement and retard it. It seems to carry the idea that MT. Prick ought to be killed, but that it is inadvis- able at this stage of the proceedings. This is view of the matter which might be considered curiosity if it were not so common with the socialistic party.

Ju0go HaIlS nnQlng ln the case or Phelan against Walsh was made public at New Haven yesterday. As has been stated, the finding gives Phelan prima facie majority of 42O for the office of sec- retary, and states that the 122 prohibit tion votes for Palmer, which contained the word for, were not invalidated. The special finding in regard to the Bridge port s'specked" ballots is long, and is about as has been anticipated. Certain small glossy spots in these ballots are found to be defects in the paper occasion ed by wood fiber in the pulp of which the paper was manufactured. Eighty-two of these ballots contained small mark be- tween the letters ''v'' and ''e" in the word governor" This mark Judge Hall finds to have been caused by means of a defect in the 12 electrotype plates used in print ing the ballots, and that said defect was purely accidental. Ballots numbered 83 to 122 inclusive contained mark between letters ''e" and ''n'' in word lieutenant" :" This mark is found to have been made by special piece of roller composition be- coming wedged in between the letters, and was purely accidental and not de- signed as distinguishing mark. Ballot No. 123 has pencil mark, and No. 126 has small mark made with writing ink and pen. Marks on ballots 124 and 125 are found to be simply defects in the pa- per. This finding is conditional one, the facts being found and stated, and the decision on these facts being left to the supreme court. From the face of the thing it would seem that however the higher court views the case next fall
 Phelan must be declared elected.

Marcus M. Mason of Boston went to Niagara Falls ane on Sunday went under winds. Instead of walking carefully down the steps, he jumped down two or three, slipped and shot out into the falling water.

The statement of the Pinkerton broth CTS made last week to the committee of the house added nothing material to what is already known, except the declaration that the men sent by them were never armed during transportation, that is nev- CT moved as an armed body, and that none were sent to Homestead until a promise had been made that they should be used as guards and sworn in as dep- uty sheriffs. This, it will be remembered, was not done. Whatever may be proved as to this particular case the fact remains that nothing more suited to irritate the workmen could have been devised than the introduction of these men. They are so cordially hated that their mere pres ence is almost sure to provoke violence. Calling on them may have been legal but it was not wise. If they were expected to use force 5000 would have been nearer the necessary number than 300.

THE testimony of military men in America and England largely preponder- ates to the views that the punishment of lam s was excessive and brutal. One London paper asserts that 1ams deserved to have been shot, but not to have been treated as he was. No doubt Iams is glad that the tender-hearted London ed itor was not his judge.

Bergman's notion was that every man ought to do as he pleased and it was his pleasure to kill all the rich. Suppose now some rich crank should decide on his part that the thing to do was to kill all the poor. Suppose everybody decided to "be law unto himself'' and that those who preferred killing started in first. There'd be no law at all. Chaos would be an orderly arrangement in comparison. Yet this is just what these anarchist cranks are up to. The halcyon period that they look for would make the world hell as soon as it arrived. It is power full pity that in such labor agitations as this at Homestead cranks of this kind al- ways turn up and in avowed sympathy with the laborer. As matter of fact they care nothing for the laborer, hate nothing else so much as the thought of labor, and are the enemies of all honest people, rich or poor.

The Connecticut Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows has selected ''Fairview," the Stafford estate in Groton, as home for aged and infirm Odd Fellows at the price of $13,OOO. The property consists of forty-five acres, fronting on the Thames river, nearly all under cultivation. The house contains seventeen rooms, with a cottage annex of seven rooms, two barns, carriage houses, creamery, and other buildings. Everything about the place is in perfect order and ready for occupation. The Odd Fellws' flag flying from Fair view will be conspicuous object to in- corners on the harbor and to people trav- ing on trains over the New London North ern road. Many visitors to the property may be expected during the summer. Fifteen thousand Odd Fellows are inter ested in the prosperity of the home, and an occasional excursion party will make it their objective point. A dock at which steamers can land is one of the projects in view.
