SHE OF THE POWDER PUFF
Raises Reflections In the Mind OF the
Young Druggist.

Raises Reflections In the Mind of the
Young Druggist.
A handsome young broadway drug
gist was in a talkative mood the other
day.
women are queer creatures" he
said, with q reflective smile under his
mustache.
He pointed to a large assortment of
toilet articles t~emptingly arrayed.
There were powder boxes and rouge
pots and the fullest Of puffs. There
were rainbow rows of perfumes and
toilet waters. There were salves of all
sorts and tones galore. In short every
thing that the care of the feminine face
and form could crave.
The handsome young druggist lifted
a box OF powder. Its shape was clearly
defined in the u~ndisturbed dust which
had drifted upon it.
"They don't buy EN-" he said.
mot at ALP"
"Oh, sometimes! But, you sec, ! had
an idea that women simply bathed in
perfume, put hair tonic in the shower
bath, and was practically clad in cold
cream and powder. As soon as ! saw
a woman coming in the door / headed
for the cosmetics, in order to meet her
on the spot l felt sure she would Sc
lect."
"Wellp"
"Twas the wrong move. BY the
time / fetched up behind the powders
and perfumes, the woman was leaning
over the counter down there, and either
another clerk made the sale or else l
had to meekly chase back"
"And what is hat counter?'
sits the medicine counter, and about
ninety-nine out of one hundred women
who come there want a nerve tonic.
Sick or well, thin or stout, old or young.
their one cry is-nerves! Perhaps, be-
ing a man and therefore an animal,
said by women TO be totally lacking in
nerves, may be a trihe skeptical, but,
upon my word, l don't think half of
them need a nerve tonic any more than
they need-two tongues!
"If you want to make your everlast.
ing fortune, why, invent IA new nerve
tonic. They all go with a rush. We
have n patron, a good, strong wom-
an, whose only nerve trouble is that
she thinks she has nerve trouble. She
has tried every remedy we have in
stock. Her system ought, by this time,
to be perfectly callous to any new com
pound, but ! have just sold her IA bottln
of the present fashionable nerve
soother. She has a pillow of dried
poppy flowers, another of hops, an
other of balsam, and so on and on.
To-day, for the first time, | sold her
a box of powder. She says it will last
her three years. She doesn't believe in
choking up the pores Of the skin with
all sorts of rubbish"
Quite right"
"ies, but she'll choke her entire in
ternal arrangement with any sort O
detection which bears the magical in
scription: Nerve Tonic Women ar
certainly queer creatures"
And the young clerk sighed as h
put the dcspiscd powder box back OF
the shelf.--N. Y. Sun.

VAN ALIEN DECLINES.
Says He Has Recently Found Out What
His appointment Suggests.

New York, December 3.-A letter from
j. j. Van Allen to Secretary of State
Gresham, dated at Newport, R. l., No
vember 20, is given out here for publica-
ton. In the letter. Mr.. Van Allen de-
clines the Office of ambassador to Italy
and says: II have never denied. and do
not now deny, that contributed to the
campaign fund a considerable sum of
money. 1t was by no means the first
time l assisted the party since Mr..
Cleveland's aggressive leadership arous-
ed my admiration, and I do not hesitate
to say that if it shall again seem nv du-
ty as citizen desirous of the best gov
ernment, it will not be the last. I have
positively insisted at all times that the
contribution created no obligation to me
whatever. / frankly admit that
until after the appointment was made it
never occurred to my mind that my con-
trlbution could be used to my injury. I
lind myself in false position with refer
ence 10 this office and appointment. The
acceptance OF the office would make me
appear willing, for the sake of personal
qualification. to discredit in the minds of
many OF the political party to which I
am attached, and bring undeserved re-
buke upon, the administration which
honored me, and whose success ear
nestly desire. Self respect compels me
to adopt the only other alternative, and
l decline the Office"
A letter from President Cleveland to
Mr.. Van Allen, dated at Washington, No
vember %, is made public, in which the
President asks him to reconsider his re-
lection of the position, but Mr.. Van
Allen replied, under date of Newport.
November 25th, that his decision is
final.

BRIEFLY TOLD.

Captain Frank Hinkey of the Yale
eleven is recovering from the injury
which temporarily disabled him in the
Princeton game Thursday.
A scheme has been started among
members of the English House of Com
mons for the holding of an international
fair, on the largest possible scale in Lon
don in 1895 and 1897.
The directors of the English company
formed by n. H. Warren, proprietor of
Warmers Safe Cure, accuse Warner of
misstating its.s fairs and appropriating to
his own use funds OF the American COM
pany at Rochester, NY.
Fears are expressed for the safety of
the Union Ham burg steamer Salerno,
which left Rio Janeiro. last month for
New York. She was laden with coffee
and started several hours before the
steamer Rosa, which arrived November
20.
The Yale Freshmen defeated the Har-
ward Freshmen at football Saturday, 80
to 4. The game was not characterized by
roughness and the only man injured was
logrin, the Harvard full back. The
Harvard management announce they
shall insist upon protest being entered
against Cochrane, the Yale full back,
who, it is alleged was substitute on last
years freshman eleven.

WATER FOR BATH.

Especial to the Press.1

lSpeclal TO Jne FreSS.J
Bath, December 3.-The action of the
city government giving the Maine Water
company permission to change its source
of supply from Thompson's Brook to

to prevent trouble from vessels anchors.

Nequasset water to be remarkably free

PROTECTION FOR PULP.
An Exception in the Wilson Bill and Some
Rumors Which Are Denied.

New York, December 2.--The New
York Press, today, prints an articlesin
which it says: The Manufacturers In
vestment company, which is a corpora
tion at Madison. Me-, and Appleton,
Wis.,, for the manufacture of sulphite
wood pulp, was, it is claimed, started by
Grover Cleveland, Daniel S. Lamont and
their friends. Mr.. Cleveland is said to
have taken $4,000 worth OF stock.
Sulphite wood pulp is used very largely
in the manufacture of all grades of
paper. All paper used in printing news
papers, except that made from cotton
waste, has from 20 to 25 percent of wood
pulp in it, Therefore, as far as the
manufacture of paper is concerned, wood
pulp is raw material.
. Most of the wood pulp now used in this
country comes from Germany. Under
bears duty of 81 per ton. That duty
has been the means of encouraging a
great many people to go into the manu-
facture of wood pulp, and among these
the Manufacturers Investment company,
in which President Cleveland, and his
Secretary of War are said to be interested.
1t costs without the duty from S7s to Ss8
ldlO QOWu III N6W l ok Mar UOI UO 1iupOfU
it to from Germany.
The Wilson bill imposes duty upon
wood pulp of 10 per cent ad valorem.
which would fix the duty-at the above
prices-anywhere from $3.50 to S. 80 per
ton. This is an increase Of 81 OF more on
each ton above the present rate of 81
specific. Now it is the boast of the Will
son bill that it is to put raw materials
on the free list, or make important re-
ductions in the schedules of raw mate
rials Here is an important case in
which that rule is fagrantly violated.
But that is not all. The Wilson bill
has lowered the duty on paper. Tissue
paper has been cut down from cents per
pound and Is per cent ad valorem to 25
per cent, which in the lower grade of
white tissue-which costs 80 cents per
amounts to 1-2 cents per ream,
against 6S cents O ream under the Nc
Kinley tariff Thus the Wilson bill pro-
poses co raise the duty on raw materials
in this class and lower it upon the manu-
factured goods.
The fear of the reduction of the tariff
has caused many tissue mills to 20 into
bankruptcy. The United Paper COM
pany, controlling some fifteen paper
mills, failed some days ago. !. Others will
follow. The copying paper industry in
this country will be completely wiped
out by the Wilson bill.
The Press also prints Washington
despatch in which Secretary Lamont
says that neither the President nor him
self has one cents worth of interest in
any wood pulp concern.
