seem quite roper to have that seal an

AFTER A RUSSIAN ADMIRAL's HAIR

Russian Admiral Avelan. who was
teted and lionized in Paris recently, has.
we are told by the cable, received let
hers from 10000 Parisiennes. asking for
his autograph, a lock OF his hair or an
audience. He will send u reply to each
of the letters. he says. These replies
will carry his autograph, of course, but
how many of them will be freighted with
locks of his hair?
1t Is pretty certain that fully one-third
of the fair letter-writer wanted enough
of the Admiral's hair to make a switch
out of, or a false bang, at least. Think
of the glorious locks he would have to
be able to shake TO supply 1888 m
with hirsute souvenirs. Think of the
hair he would have to own and give
away; of the sacrifice he would have to
make in stripping his dome of thought
of it's wealth of raven thatch and max
ang his upper features look like a phren-
Oiogist's bust.
1t is probable that the Russian Al
miral hasn't enough capillary trimmings
in stock to go around among the women
of Paris. He may have to borrow hair
from every man in his fleet to meet the
numerous requests. The petitions for
pieces Of his hair must be accepted as a
tribute to his hairiness. He probably
has a top shock like a Bowery poet and
a beard like an East Broadway An.

better obey orders and scrambled on to the
back of the horse.
Now, sit still till we get to the postofIice,
or you'll be sorry" said the girl, who kept
the man under cover of the revolver. In
three-quarters of an hour Miss Stewart
drove up to the postoflice with her prisoner
and called for some one to come out and
take the fellow in charge. There was a
crowd of husky young farmers in the office,
and in 10 minutes the would be highway

roads that were never built. This the
judges, in obedience to the well understood
wishes Of their constituents, refused to do.
as they had before refused and as the Judges
of Cass county, who it will be remembered
were imprisoned about u year ago, had also
refused.
The view of the matter taken by the
United States courts is that the bonds bind
the county for the payment of their face
value and that having passed into the
hands of innocent third parties" they
must be paid, no matter whether the work
for which they were issued has been done
or not. The people Of the counties claim
that the issuance of the bonds was obtain
ed by fraud and false representations, and
that their payment cannot equitably be de
manded. The sentiment against paying
them is very general, and the judges were
elected on that issue.
There is pitiful story connected with
case of Judge Copenhaver During his
first imprisonment his daughter was taken
Ill and then became insane and was sent
to an asylum. Upon his release from Jail
he took her home, and under his care she
regained her reason, but lost it again soon
after his commitment last winter He was
released from Jail ON parole in February to
convene court and commit her once more
to the asylum. He then ret9yned to Jail,
and in March received the sorrowful It'd
ings of his daughters death while insane.
Shortly after that the judges were re-
leased under the poor debtors act, the SEN
tence having included fine. AS soon as
the new bench was organized the manda-
mus directing the tax levy was served
upon the judges, who refused to obey 1t
and were again placed In Jail
