THERE is not as yet, according to the
Geographic accounts, sufficient evidence
concerning the Dublin Castle explosion
to warrant the conclusion that it was the
work of dynamiters. But the fact that
the blowing up of the rooms-which may
have been due to accidental ignition of
gas mixed with air-created such alarm
and was so quickly ascrlbed to political
plotting, testifies to the exceeding low
grade of politics in Ireland.

THE Chilean Government advises it's
minister at Washington that the investi-
CATION into the Baltimore incident is
ended, and that the Government law Off
Ger is now preparing his opinion from the
record. It is added that the American
sailors all testified that the Valparaiso po-
lice did their duty in the rioting that took
very little cause for grievance against the
Government of Chile; but this will not
invalidate the claim against the city of
Valparaiso for failing to protect people
lawfully in her streets.

were hard to get, and were sold with
greatest secrecy; no newspaper depend
ent upon the respect of the people dared
to advertise the lottery, and no man was
SO shameless as to display the result of
the drawing in his place of business.
Ten years ago few newspapers, finding
the public sense dulling, accepted the
price of blood; then secret signs were
hung out indicating where tickets could
be had. Five years ago all masking was
thrown of; the newspaper press pub
ished not only schemes but drawings,
and made of Geographic Importance the
turn Of the wheel, while the placards of
the lottery hung freely upon the walls.
Four years ago the open sale of tickets
began, and in about every cigar store and
place of public resort the pass through
the gates of the lottery could be had on
call, for coin. A little later the United
States mails were closed to the papers ad-
vertising the lottery or announcing its
drawings. Then came avoidance and the
choosing of other means of Transports
ton by the press, the unctious outpour Of
lottery money enabling the conscience
less newspaper to employ more costly
means of carriage of the poison into the
homes of the people, and to excuse itself
on the plea that ''the people will gamble,
anyhow"
About the same time rival lotteries put
in their claims, peddlers of tickets be-
came very numerous, and to-day these
agents of vice, both men and women,
knock at the doors of humble homes, pull
at the bells of mansions, and engage the
servants in the back area, in order to sell
the passports Of the monster gamester of
the age. School children are intercepted
upon the streets and importuned to buy;
Chinese miscreants initiate their white
brethren and openly run daily and
nightly lotteries, and peddle their gaudy
tickets throughout the cities and towns,
and even in remote rural parts. The
press, not content with aiding the in
fanny by advertisement despite the State
law to the contrary, sells its columns for
the recitation in reading matter of glow
ing accounts of prizes drawn and fortunes
won by the revolution Of the glass wheel;
but never a word or a line appears de-
scriptive of the woe, desolation, crime,
poverty, suffering and degradation due
directly to the lottery infamy.
Even the arm of the law is paralyzed
by the giant evil, and no officer save the
single, bold, vigorous and fearless Chief
of Police of San Francisco, attempts to
bring offenders against the State lottery
laws to the bar of justice. Even there,
there is not sufficient moral and official
support given the Chief to enable him to
bring the violaters of the anti-lottery adj
vertising sheets to the dock to answer for
their impudent offenses.
In view of these undeniable facts, we
submit that we do not indulge in exag-
gerated estimates, or run to any extreme,
when we say that if Louisiana is permit
ted to become for the next twenty-five
years the lottery breeding hole of the
Union, the decentralization of the next
quarter of century will be as much
greater than the present as the present is
more shameful than the past

VICTIMS OF HAIR DYE.
Thousands of New York Women Are

Obliged to Don Wigs.
There are thousands of bald headed
women running round New York city in
wigs, toques, and wells. These bare
headed beauties vary from II to 70 years
of age. Some of them have been ill, but
the great majority are the victims OF
dyes, bleaches, or washes
One barber whose clientele is made up
largely of the children of Murray Hill,
has book showing 60 appointments a
fortnight for the last two months with
ladies of social importance. No ques-
tions were asked and no information
volunteered. The customers merely
wished to make arrangements for having
their heads shaved every two weeks to
get the hair started growing.
All the engagements were for morning
hours. And in no instance, strangely
enough, was there a request for shorn
tresses. Another remarkable thing about
these elegant costumers was the prefer
ence shown curly wigs. Each, on her
first appearance. came provided with a
curly wig. Most of them were the same
color as the eyebrows, showing that nat
ure's taste was recognized at last, while a
few were either blonde or black.
These exceptions were due to economy.
The wigs We're in the family; they had
cost from SIS to $25, and were thought
good enough for the short time they
would be worn. Many Of these ladies
took their first shave when Lent began,
and by repeating the operation every 10
days or SO hoped to have new crop by
the time the Easter festivities begin.
At home, in the bosom of their families
and with their intimate friends. these
foolish and fashionable danes and bellies
are unsightly enough, but for the sake of
eliminating the straw tresses and sere and
coppery locks even shaved heads can be
Oh lured for eight or ten weeks.

Russian Traps for Bears.

The backwoodsmen have some odd
ways of hunting bears. One plan is to
tie strong chain 10 feet or so long to
a heavy billet of wood, and at the other
end to make running moose. This loop
is arranged like a ample rabbit snare, in
a narrow passage. the billet being thrown
on one side. When the bear runs his
neck into the moose he drags after him
the wooden weight, which entangies him
in the bushes, and finally brings him to
full stop. The bear then follows up
the billet. bites it savagely, hurls il
down, and continues his way. Pulled up
short second time and then a third
he goes through the same antics, until
on reflection he decides to carry off the
troublesome billet in his arms, and find
precipice over which to throw 1t, in
doing which he is dragged over by its
weight.
Still another snare consists in suspend.
ing a great rock or a log against a
door which closes an opening in treo
where honey is stored. When the
bear comes to eat the honey he pushes
away with his paw the obstacle which
hinders him, but this movement only
results in swinging aside the rock,
which, coming back, strikes him on the
head. The bear, growing angry, makes
a vigorous lunge at the weight. and, OF
course, receives still more violent blow,
il then comes to grand struggle between
the bear and this lifeless object, in which
the animal often receives a whack that
hurls him lifeless from the tree to the
ground below.
