How to Stop Sunburn.

If you have been badly sunburned,
just as soon as you can procure it apply to
the burned parts thick coating of white
vaseline, which let remain for ten min
utes or more; then rub it Oft by applying
soft dry cloth gently; have a bowl of
very hot water brought to you and big
linen towel.
Dip the towel in the water, which must
be hot enough to steam, and almost bury
your face in it, but do not touch the skin
with it for some time; you should steam
your face this way for fifteen minutes,
and by that time every drop of blood in
your body will seem to be in your face.
Then call for some hot water and apply
it IN soft, gentle fashion to the skin for
fifteen minutes.
Then put on coating of vaseline and
lie down for half an hour; when You get
up you will be as fresh as a daisy and
your face will not trouble you in the
least. OF course, the length of time for
treatment will depend upon how badly
you are burned. But an hour ought to
fix you up all right. Apply vaseline
again on retiring.

NEW YORK AND MAINE.
The Two Warships VIII Soon be Read.


New YORK, Sept. 1S.-The cruiser New
York came out of the dry dock at the
navy yard at high tide yesterday. The
tide in the morning was exceptionally
high, and the cruiser came off the sill
without scraping. Captain Robert ID.
Evans and his executive officer, Lieuten-
ant Commander William Swift. were OH
the bridge. Naval Commander Frank T.
Fernal superintended the operations
from the shore. 1t is thought the ship
can be made ready for sea in about three
weeks. The officers are still ignorant of
the proposed destination of the ship on
her next cruise.
The battle-ship Maine may get away
from the navy yard on her trial TIP to-
morrow. Great interest attaches TO the
performance of the Names engines, and
the contractors are anxious to have the
trial over. Considerable interior fitting
needs to be done on board the ship. but
this will all be attended to in day or
two. One of the Names propeller blades
is said to have been chipped off or broken
in her dock trials. but the accident will
not interfere with the trial trip. All that
will be attempted at this time will be the
development of horsepower. Captain
Francis NJ. Bunce, who is to command
her, was at the navy yard yesterday to
consult with the Commandant.

the only obstacle to the triumphant cam

that the feeling is growing in Europe that

PIrTsBURG HAS A SENSATION.
The Wife of Millionaire Petitions for
the Custody of Her Husband.

The Wife of a Millionaire Petitions for
the Custody of Her Husband.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 19.-Mrs. s. NJ.
Byers, wife of the millionaire iron manu-
facturer of this city. to-day filed sensa-
tional petition in court, asking for the
custody of her husband and his estate. A
Commissioner was appointed to take the
testimony. Mrs. Byers in her petition
tells most sensational story. She says
she has been married twenty-five years.
About two years ago B. Shields, an en-
ploye of a. NJ. Byers, her broth ther-in-law,
kidnapped her husband and took him to
Chicago, where be was placed in the
custody of Dr. l.. w. Tallman. The lat
ter took Byers to Duluth, and then to ST.
Paul, where he was placed in a hotel
under the charZe of Eva Ditty, a trained
nurse. Mrs. Byers located her husband
on August 20, 1898. The party, in
cludlng Mr.. Byers. then returned
to Chica. Here, She alleges, morphine
was surreptitiously administered by
DIR. Tallman, and while he was
unconscious her husband was again car
ried off. Byers was then taken from
place to place, generally outside the
United States, covering altogether about
10000 miles. Mrs. Byers spent thou
sands OF dollars searching for her hus-
band, and finally located him in Japan.
She sent her agent, Samuel Boyd, for her
husband, and they returned to San Fran
cisco. Here they were met by DR.. Tall
man, who endeavored to gain possession
OF Byers. Finally, on July 80, 1894, an
agreement was signed by all interested
parties to the effect that Byers should re-
turn to Pittspurg without any interfer-
ence, in the custody of Boyd. At st.
Joseph, Mo-, Byers was taken from the
train on a writ of habeas corpus, but at
the hearing was remanded into Boyd's
cvstody. A few hours later, Mrs. Byers
alleges, Shields, Peter L. Kennedy, John
l.. Davis and DIR. Tallman again kid
naped Byers and took him to Chicago,
where trace of him was lost. A few days
ago Mrs. Byers found her husband in the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane at
Philadelphia, and be is now under her
care,

Transcontinental Association.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-The transconti-
mental lines are still engaged in their free
for-all talk, the outcome of which, it is
hoped by some of the lines, will result in
the formation of the Transcontinental
Passenger Association. the meeting to-
day resulted, as all the other sessions
have resulted up TO date-in nothing. The
main difficulty in the way of forming the
association, the question of differentials.
again ignored, is that the bulk of Califor-
MIA business is second-class traffic, which
can be diverted by means OF a small diff
ferential. The first-class passenger busi-
ness amounts to very little compared
with second-class, and the roads cannot
afford to ignore the latter. At present
there seems to be no chance whatever
that the lines will succeed in forming the
association.

nominated for County Treasurer. the

was evident early in the day that an
effort would be made to pull down DIR.

object at the afternoon session and se-
cured the Endorsement of Haines. al
though there were quite a number of
vigorous protests made by delegates froSl

demeanor and firm adherence to the

The sensation of the morning session
occurred when J. Marion brooks called

and dirty dog" A motion had been
made to reconsider the nomination for
Treasurer, and to carry out the proposed

For the public nothing is too good. For
the actor, on the other hand, anything is
good enough. Instead Of silken draper
lee, he finds only a battered curtain at
the window, if, indeed, he find a curtain
at all, Or even q window which it might
cover. Instead of soft, comfortable
chairs, one wooden chair none too clean,
or a chair minus a back, will be the only
seat, and not infrequently, if he wishes
to sit down, he must do so on his trunk.
Instead of delicately tinted walls, he
will find dirty walls which have not been
treated to whitewash for years. While
in the auditorium a soft carpet covers
the door, in the actors room a carpet
rarely exists, or, if by chance there be
something which once was a carpet, it is
SO dirty that it would be better away.
The washing appliance of the actors
room, if they are found at all, usually
consist of a small basin with a tap Of
running water. Most people would ex-
pect that, as the winter is the theatrical
season andnthe paints used by the actors
are made with grease. hot water would
be on hand. But this is rarely the case,
and in many instances running water in
the dressing rooms is unknown.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-07-06

In the July issue of the Forum, Ru-
dolph de Cordova who is an authority
on things theatrical, sheds some interest
ing light on the life of the average actor,
which goes to prove how far from a
pathway Of rosesis his. He says: "The
salary of the average player is put down
by an eminent authority as not more
than $1,000 a year, earned during a sea-
0 Of about thirty weeks. In my
opinion this is a high estimate, for $1,000
would be nearer the mark. Out Of this
the actor-and I use the term to include
also the Woman Of the stage-must pro-
vide the clothes worn in the play, which
are often very costly; he must make a
neat appearance in the street, defray his
hotel bills, pay for sleeping cars on night
journeys for it is only in very
rare instances that the manager
pays for them) and for the luxury

there can be seen not one good result Of
the strike. It has embittered labor and
and it has embittered capital. It has
clogged the wheels Of commerce. 1t
means eachday the loss of millions Of dol
lars. It means poverty, d%estitntion and
suffering. Aquarter of a million OF
w%orkingmen are unemployed, and their
wages are withdrawn from the channels
Of trade. Dealers in perishable goods,
whose trade depends upon railroad
transportation, will be %bankrupted'
Merchants and manufacturers will be
forced to suspend operations. industry
is paralyzed everywhere. Property is
being destroyed, values lessened, and
commerce %suspened. The effect will be
felt for years by the whole people Of the
country. No result of the strike could
recompense the loss. The longer the re.
adjustment is delayed, however, the
moreis the situation aggravated, and the

to restore order, and renew traffic. BotE
