THE TARIFF BILL.
It Is Understood to Re in the Hands of the
 President

WASHINGTON, Oct 27-It is under stood that rough draft of the pro- posed tariff bill is now in the hands of President Cleveland and Secretary Car lisle. What has been done on the tariff bill now is subject to changes, but it is thought all those things which have been definitely decided on by the sub- committee will stand through the final revision of the bill, says an evening pa per. Some of the features of the bill are radical. The woolen schedule is the Springer free bill which passed the house last congress incorporated into the bill practically without change. There is to be a radical cut made in the glass schedule. Raw materials will be added to the free list and a heavy cut on the duties which are not properly revenue duties will be made
 The idea of tariff for revenue only is adhered to quite closely, but this ap- plication may not be made to coal. Iron ore goes on the free list and there is very considerable shaving down of the iron and coal schedule. The tax on whisky will be increased not above 20 cents, but the exact amount of the increase is not yet decided, and an in crease upon the beer tax is practically decided upon.

ANTIQUITY OF WIGS.
Hannibal Is Said to Have Worn One When
 He Crossed the Alps.

A passage in Polybius has been cited to prove that Hannibal wore a wig, but this seems a little doubtful. They of the first Roman emperors, for we are told that Otho had kind of scalp of fine leather with locks of hair upon it so well arranged as to seem natural. When wigs were introduced into En- gland the clergy inveighed against them as being indecent and unnatural, and even cut their own haSr shorter to express their adherence of the fashion.
 Tt was observed, however" we are told, ''by the more discreet part of tn, world, that a periwig procured many persons degree of respect to which they were strangers before, and the judges and physicians thoroughly un- derstood this, and gave their wigs all the advantages of length as well as size" The popularity of the fashion now seems to us inconceivab ble. Gran. ger mentions a country gentlemen who employed painter to put a number of admirable portraits by Vankyke into perukes
 All persons" says Sir John Sinclair, in his Code of Health" ought to wear a wig after sixty. It is alike ex- cellent for the old, the tender and the studious." "The invention of wigs, T says an old writer, ''is of so great use, and saves men so much trouble, that i, can never be laid aside; it helps to dis. guise the thief, to make an i'll face tolera ble, the tolerable handsome, and to ease the lazy of trouble" On the other hand, still older writer, Ter tullian, bids those who have wigs con. sider whether they are likely to go to Heaven in such things: moreover, he asks them ''how they can be sure that what they are wearing may not be the hair of some damned person or an. other" The language of "the fathers seems to have been vigorous; if one talked like father" nowadays il would be considered rude Illustrated London News.

 LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. 27.-Between 5 and o'clock last evening word was sent to the city that the penitentiary was on fire. The building is four miles south of the city, but the fire de- partment was soon on the way, es- corted by thousands of people who crowded the street car line and blocked the way with pri. vate vehicles Rumors of the wild est nature were telephoned ia from the scene, until it was generally credited that the states prison was being de- stroyed and the unfortunate inmates roasted alive. At one time it was given out that fifty had perished. It was two hours before the straight story could be learned.
 The fire broke out in the foundry de- partment of the Lincoln Stove & Fur mace O. The building was entirely consumed.
