Denver, May 3O.-The desperadoes at
Cripple Creek have line of pickets
from Bull Hill to Midland, and the ci-
tizens in camp are subject to rigid quar-

acomplete reign of terror. Five hundred

Last night was one of intense excite
ment. During the early hours, bands of
mountain miners roa med throughs the
town, beaking into butcher shops and
groceries to get provisions and searching
for arms Their treatment of men ound
out of the limits of the town is shame
full The bankers andsmerchants are Sc
creJing their valua bles, expecting that
pillage and carnage may break forth at
any moment. The armed bands of law
less depredators attempted to surprise
the deputies at Divide last night but
failed, and withdrew without rbinging
on conflict.
1t was rumored that the strikers at
Cripple Creek have captured the tele-
graph office, as the Western Union wires
are not working there. Another rumor
was that they would capture many lead
ing citizens and take them into the fort
on Blue Hill as hostages.
Eben Smith, one of the principal mine
owners interested in the camp, arrived
here this morning fromC mColoradoSprings
He said that Sheriff Powers has warrants
for the. arrest of thesmen who destroyed
the Strong mine, and who have comit-
ted many acts of violence in the camp
within the last month. Tno sheriff will

make the arrests, and when the miners
begin to fight, the sheriff will exhaust

Traitors who support Them.
The enormous influence exercised
over the government by the trusts is
one of the most serious features Of the
present highly dangerous animation
between the government and business.
The most dangerous class in this coun-
try is neither the ignorant voters Of
the cities nor the Missionaries Of the
rural districts. but the member, and
managers of the trusts who seek to
control the council chamber in order
that they may control the market place.
1t is not necessary to ask whether
these men are better or worse than
Others: il is sufficient to observe tina Z
they are more dangerous: they are moro

with cynical disregard for even the
appearance of public interests. There

Lananese Hairdrcssine.

One of the joys of the Japanese wom- ans life, which Sir Edwin Arnold has failed to dwell upon, is her hairdress- ing, although he mentions the result. admiringly. The ordinary Japanese woman has her hair dressed twice a week. First. the assistant hairdresser comes and oils the locks with camellia or seasum oil; then the principal ar rives and spends nearly an hour in piling up her hair so that it will indi- cate the caste and age of the woman and whether she is maid, wife or widow" For all that is expressed by the arrangement of the locks in Japan. The women sleep upon neck blocks, carefully hollowed out so that the hair may remain undisturbed all night. For ladies of high degree these blocks are beautifully lacquered and deco rated. They generally have little drawer into which the superfuous ornaments can be put at night.

Two Yory Old Ladies.

It is well known that women attain an extraordinary age oftencr than men. One of the most celebrated female cen tenarians was Countess Desmond, who lived one hundred and forty years, md died in the reign of James I. as the result of an accident. This ex- 5raordinary woman was, at the age Of one hundred years, 50 active and lively that she used take part ia the dances with young people. At the age of one hundred and forty-five years she tray rled from Bristol to London, no small undertaking in those days. Even this Instance, however, is surpassed by the case of a French woman. named Marie Prion, who died at S55tt. Colombo at the age of one hundred and fifty years.
