RUSSIA'S POSITION.
The Seizures in Bering Sea Were
Justified.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 20.-The coul-
mission appointed to investigate the ques-
tions connected with the Bering Sea seal
fisheries advises that the territorial waters
around the Bering Sea Islands be regarded
as extending thirty miles from land. OF
the coast of Kamschatka the territorial
waters should be regarded as extending ten
miles from land, since female seals are wont
to swim out ten miles to obtain food for
their young.
As regards the seizure OF British ships in
BeFiBs Sea, the commission says that the
position of the Russian authorities was
justified by the Irregularities and evssive-
ness of the entries in the logs OF these
vessels. ~

A Negro woman,s wonderful Hair,

Hearing the statement made in Holly
Springs that remarkable negro woman
freak lived only a few miles from this
town, your correspondent determined to
obtain the facts In the case.
A middle aged negress greeted the visit
or. The woman is quite dark, of pro-
nounced African type Of physiognomy,
8 feet inches tall, and In fair health, but
has never had any children. She wore o
white cotton turban tied about her head
and tucked in at the back to support the
immense weight of her hair. This shere-
moved and laid upon the table and I'M
wound the braids of her wonderful hair,
which went many times around her head
and dropped upon the floor.
It was indeed an amazing sight. Three
braids almost as thick as o mans arm
close to the head, but tapering to the
thickness Of finger at the ends, closely
plated and measuring 8 feet inches,
braided as it is, in length. 1t looks q
good deal like Spanish moss, but Is dark
err, crinkled and grizzled, coarse and al
most repulsive to the touch, suggesting

of hair after death. Mississippi Cor

Men Who Find Solitude In the Very Gem
ters Of LiyeIiness.
One Of the most interesting studies in
human nature about the city Is the man
who lives In hotels. I do not mean the
commercial traveller or the man who is
engaged in business Of any kind, but the
man who has nothing to do but to look
around him and enjoy himself. He may
actually enjoy himself, too, for all ]
know. I hope he docs. He is interest
ing as an illustration of what some men
call enjoyment.

and unfashionable hotels for that mat
ter--are the shelter of many men who
are not in business other than the BUSH
ness of looking pretty and observing the

they are the homes Of such men--they
merely shelter and feed them.
In many instances this life Is that Of a
hermit. Possibly man accustomed to
the wild, hilarious career offered by o

Some years ago melodrama was be-

thus addressed the statue:

How Loco Acts.

Loco is often called "crazy weed''
from its direful effect on cattle or horses
when they eat 1t in any quantity, In the
beginning the poison is slow in showing
itself. The first symptom is usually a
dull, CLASSY look in the eyes, which grad
ually dilatea and become wild and staring.
II after this the animal is left to Craze
ON the herb, the symptoms will become
more pronounced, the vision becomes
impaired, and the victim develops an
aptitude for grotesque antics. sometimes
rushing madly about. A ''locoed" horse
will balk, back, rear and often hurl it
self backward, and has the greatest OBJ
lection TO having Its head touched.
The last and fatal stage Of the disease
is gradual wasting away of the ami.

instinctiyely to avoid the loco. High
