The Bang Called In.

One of the most noticeable changes in
1 ihion this season is that which affects
( dressing of the hair. The fringe
aas been gradually giving place to softly
we'd bandeaux, and the bandeaux are
creeping gradually lower down until the
return seems imminent to the puffed and
waved bandeaux to be seen in the por-
traits of Jennie Lind taken along in the
fifties. To young and delicate faces the
style has an agreeable piquancy and
quaintness, but to women past their first
youth or with strong, coarse features the
bang has a softening effect much to be
desired.
Another style now gaining favor and
one becoming to round faces with low
foreheads is that of turning the hair
back from the forehead loosely in twist
that is lost in the light coils and puffs ar
ranged in the middle Of the forehead.
In this style Of coiffure the front hair is
parted off on either side and twisted in
the old fashioned way into two rolls

A Seaman With a Good Record Could Not
Endure a Reprimand.
John Neil, seaman in the United
States navy, serving on board the re-
ceiving ship Independence, Mare Island
navy yard, was reprimanded the other
morning for having overstaid his leave
of absence, and for punishment was or
dered restricted to the ship for period
of go days. AS soon as Neil received his
decree of punishment he went below
into the ship bagroom, where he was
found later with bullet wound in his
right temple. He was man of unusual
distinction, having received medal hon
ors from congress for bravery and mer-
itorious conduct.
He enlisted in the navy in 1851, served
with Farragut at Mobile Bay and lashed
the admiral in the rigging of the Hart
ford, where he stood by his side through
out the fight. Since the war Neil has
served continuously in the navy and
was one of the survivors of the i'll fated
Trenton, which went down in Apia har-
Dor. He received general mention for
bravery in rescuing shipmates from the
Vandalia, which was also wrecked in
the same gale. He was a native of Ire
land, aged SO, and a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Regular Army and Navy union. The re-
mains were inferred in the navy ceme-
terry at Mare island under the auspices
of the Army and Navy union.--New

THE GANG Is BROKEN UP.
Youthful Highwaymen Are
Now in Jail.
Lloyd Damron and Bert W0olley
Complete the Gang.
Very Systematic Scheme Organized
by Boys to Rob Chinese vsge-
table PeddIers on Their
Way from Town.

Two more youths, who started out te
initiate the James boys, were arrested
yesterday for completely in the recent
robberies at Garvsnza and Glendale. Il
looks as though the gang OF young
criminals has been broken up.
It will be remembered that Smith and
McCracken were arrested the night be-
fore almost in the act of robbing Al
Pom.
These young readersof lurid literature
gave the s'snap" away yesterday to the
officers, and now their partners are
sleeping beneath the same roof.
One of the boys arrested yesterday
was Lloyd Damron, son of the attorney
who created considerable notoriety fol
himself in this city some time ago. The
other boy arrested WAS Bert Woolley.
whose father resides at III Temple
street. Young Smith and McCracken
were very contradictory in their state
ments, but they gave out enough inior-
nation to justify the officers in making
the additional arrests.
Young Damron was arrested at Gar
vanza by Deputy Sheriff Critz, and Bert
Woolley was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
William Cline at the boys residence.
He ia IS years Of age.
Some time ago young Woolley ran
away from home, beating his way to
San Francisco and back. When he re-
turned he took well-laid plan to not
let his parents know that he was here.
He went to the Damron boys home at
Garvanza and wrote letter, addressing
it to Lloyd Damron. He headed and
dated it Fresno. to throw his parents of
their guard. He then got young Dam.
ron to go to his, Woolley's, parents and
show the letter, which plan was carried
out successfully.
This well.laid scheme was entered
into by the gang OF would-be terrors to
live time for them to commit the depre-
cations, as Woolley's parents did not
Know where he was.
The boys organized themselves by
purchasing revolveys and plenty of cart
,idres. Some of them had two revolvers
md were prepared to hold up the biggest
Jhinese vegetable peddler in that neck
y woods.
There had been three holdups, in each
Instance the victims being robbed. The
feet of the depredations was soon felt
the community and the residents al
rays locked their doors at night. 1t is
hought that the four boys are the
uilty persons and are responsible for all
he robberies that have taken place in
he vicinity of Garvsnzs and Glendale.
The one act Of Woolley in deceiving
ia parents as to his whereabouts is
nough to show the meihodical style in
rhich all the hold-ups were to be made.
he entire gang will probably be sent to
he Whittier reform school.
Deputy Sheriff William Cline stated
.st night that the Chinese reddlers fail
stop at their old eating house On the
-lendale road on account of the robber-
s. They hurry home before the shades
night, or youthful highwaymen, over
AXE them. The boys have created
luch indignation in the vicinity by
,eir systematic manner Of holding up

A Partisan Newspaper Novelty.

A farthing newspaper is the latest
novelty in Paris. 1t is called La Vie,
and is edited by Pol Martinez, an an
archist, who has spent no inconsiderable
part of his life in prison for his violent
writings. AS farthing, or, to speak
more precisely, a 2t centime piece, is un-
known to the French currency, the new
venture is faced at the outset by Sc
rious practical difficulty, but the pro-
jector gets over it in rather ingenious
fashion. The paper is to be printed in
two different colors, each color being
used on alternate days. Purchasers of a
paper of one color will be charged a
halfpenny, but they will getin exchange
for it on the following day, without
further charge, the paper of the other
color.-London Daily News.

Fun For Newsboys.

Marshall P. Wilder was the principal
one of the entertainers who combined
to give the newsboys few hours of fun
at the Newsboys' lodging house. 1t was
the first of the series of entertainments
arranged for the amusement of the boys
during the winter, and an audience of
$50 greeted Mr.. Wilder. Never was any
audience more amused at that funny
mans jokes or more appreciative of his
occasional pathos. In the funniest of
the stories some of the small bodies
shook until they held their sides with
their hands and laughed until many a
tear found its way down a grimy cheek.
No entertainer who comes before these
newsboy audiences need fear that the
point of his work will be lost.
When the boys turn came and the
professional gave way to amateur talent,
there was one newsboy who blacked up
and put on a dresscoat for his stump
speech. He was laughed at more than
any of the other amateurs excepting
Billy O'Brien, whose imitation of the
actors he bad seen at the Bowery theater
was clover enough piece of work to
have been a credit to professional.
When the pie match came between
two newsboys, there was no hard feeling
because the negro boy won, because it's
already tradition of pie eating matches
that the colored boy always does win.
So no offense was meant when he was
called SNOWFALL, and number of hands
assisted him vigorously in wiping the
remains of the contest from his face. 1t
was an evening when there was only
time for fun, and every one of the $50
boys present knew that and kept it in
view-New York Sun.
