BLEACHED BLONDES.
Turned Out at a Rapid Rate by Mcans of
 Electricity.

Electricity.
 An enterprising hair dyer has pro. 1ected scheme for making bleached blondes as fast as the demand may re.; quire, Tho subject of operation seats herself in an operating chair, some- what similar to that used bv the dentists, and rests the back of her neck on metal plate, which is the negative terminal of rather strong battery, the current from which is suf- hcient to exert moderate deccmposinp action on solutions of salts, containing a bleaching agent such as chlorine. The tresses are allowed to fall back of the chIir and are dampened with n so- lution of what the inventor terms his secret. A brush composed of metallic bristles which have been gilded or platinized, ard which are electrically connected to the source of the current, thus forming the positive pole of the battery, is slowly and steadily drawn through the hair.
 slight decomposition of the salt held in solution takes place, the be- ginning agent is liberated and the col bring matter in the hair is lightened. The discoverer declares that the color given to the darkest hair may be varied at pleasure, and may also be carefully regulated; furthermore, he states that the color does not resemble that of ordinary "bleached" hair, but is more natural and in every way able to de- ceive the most expert in such matters.
 While the idea is one which is att tractive from an experimental stand point, the object attained, if his state ments are true, is one which should be pushed into obscurity by minimum amount of praise. Still another beau tifying @ effect of the current is ob- tained by this inventor, who seems too fertile in such vanity-producing ideas He advertises to make ladies' lips to resemble coral in their dazzling red ness. His process is, of course, an electrical one, and he produces an un- healthy reckoning of the lips by fore ing an inflammation by means of so- called Faradic current.
 There is pretty good evidence that his showy operating rooms are we'll crowded by "bevy of beauties" at all times of the day, and it is quite amus- ing to watch the silly women who have much more money than brains at their disposal emerge from this gilded den feeling their fevered lips with their tongues and trying to smile while "they are paying too dear for their whistle e.'--Electric World.

To Revive from Painting.

Painting proceeds from different causes, the most common being dis turbance of the circulation of the blood in the brain. For an ordinary fainting fit lay the patient flat. Great harm has often resulted from the treatment by ignorant people in trying to make the patient sit up, or propping up the head on pillows. To send the blood back from the heart to the brain, the flat posture is absolutely necessary. Let the patient lie so that the feet are higher than the head, throw the clothes about the chest and throat open, sponge the face with cold water and give some cold water to drink.

Chicago to Honor a Regiment.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-For the first time in the history of the United States army permission has been granted by the war department for the presenta- tion of stand of colors to a regiment by private citizens. The regiment is the Fifteenth infantry of Fort Sheridan. The citizens are few representative men of this city and the organization through which the colors will be handed to Col Crofton, the command ing officer, is the Illinois Society Sons of the Revolution. The movement is in recognition of the services of the regiment during the great railroad strike.

Three Brothers Drink from a We'll Noted
 for Its Purity and Die.
 LEXINGTON, Ky. Oct. 12-In Bourbon county, on the noted Ireland stock farm, there is deep well, noted here tofore for its purity of water. James, Rutherford and Tom Campbell have been employed at the farm for several months, and have used the water. On Monday James Campbell was suddenly taken sick and soon died. Yesterday Rutherford was also attacked, and brought here and placed in St. Joseph's hospital. In few hours he expired in great agony, the symptoms being sim liar to those attending his brothers death, and indicating poison. Hardly was the death of Rutherford Campbell announced, before Tom Campbell, the youngest brother, was attacked with gripping in the stomach, and at inter vals with violent pains in the bowels. He was carried to the hospital. He IS now in a dying condition, and his life is despaired of.

AN ARTISTIC COvERLET.
Presented to tho Baby Son of the Duke
 and Duchess of York.

and Duchess of York.
 The birth of the new English royal prince seems to have revived the stories of a previous marriage of his father to such an extent that the prince of Wales has deemed it necessary to publish, through his secretary, Sir Francis Knollys, m official denial of the rumor.
 The London Times has also revived the story of the marriage of George ". and Mrs. Fitzherbert and the probabil. ity of there having been children of that marriage whose descendants ought now to be on the English throne. This is all nonsense. Both these mar. riages may or may not have been con. tracted, but both would have been il. legal and consequently void from the beginning.
 In 1772, when the prince of Wales, afterward George ", was only ten years old, the royal marriage act was passed by parliament at the instance oi George IT., who was greatly disgusted because two of his brothers had mar. ried subjects against his wishes.
 This act made it unlawful for any member of the royal family to marry without the consent of the sovereign if under twenty-five, or to do so after that age unless twelve months notice had been given to the privy council and parliament had not within those twelve months expressed its disappro. bation.
 All this was suggested by the picture which we give of the cot coverletr which was among the christening gifts of the new royal infant. The founda' tion is of white satin, on which the royal crown is embroidered in deli.

EIGHT KILLED.
Collapse of Building in New York During
 A storm,


 NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-While the storm was at its height yesterday morning, a new eight-story building at "A Monroe street collapsed, bearing down with it the house at 72 Monroe, and in the rear an extension of the building on the other side, No. 76. Both places were filled with sleeping tenants, who were buried under the tremendous mass of ruins.
 The crash of the falling walls aroused the neighbors, who scantily clad, be- gan the work of rescue. which was continued well into the day by police and firemen. They mined far under the brick and beams and mortar, and from the ruins they took the dead and injured. Eight people were taken, dead, from the ruins and fourteen were more or less seriously injured.
 The structure, it is alleged by Thomas Brady, whose family occupied the rear of No. 76, was weak and he says that he had made complaints about it to the building inspector, but that no attention had been paid to them.

Congressman Wilson Tells His Impressions
 of English Opinion on the Subject.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-Representa- tive Wilson, while in London, devoted some attention to an effort to sound public opinion in Englandon the silver question. "As matter of fact" said Mir. Wilson, ''the prospects for inter national bimetallism is about the only public question on which tried to get some idea of public opinion in En- gland. Of course, my opportunities were few and somewhat vague, but met prominent advocates of both sides, though never at the same time, such as Prof. Sidgwick, of Cam bridge, Sir Samuel Montague and others of the bimetallic side, and Mir. Giffen, Mir. Raphael and others on the gold-standard side. My impress sion was that there was no organization doing any practical work toward the success of international bimetallism, while was assured there was widely diffused feeling in favor of something of the kind. In other words, has not yet been pushed to the stage of an issue to fight over. It is easy to see that there will soon be further agitation of the silver question here; certainly in the next congress, possibly at the com ing session."

Returns to the Agricultural Department
 Showing It's CondItiou.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The October returns to the statistician of the de- partment of agriculture make the gem eral condition of corn as not material ly different from that of last month, it being CAB, against 63.4 in September, a gain of eight-tenths of point. In most of the southern states the condi- tion of corn has fallen since the last report, but in some of tFe western states there has been slight gains in condition. The averages of condition in the largest surplus corn growing states are as follows:
 Tennessee, SS; Kentucky. 77; Ohio, Fl; Michigan, 56; Indiana, IS; Illinois, IS; Wisconsin, 54; Minnesota, 59; Iowa, 47; Missouri, 70; Kansas, 45; Nebraska, IA; South Dakota, A; North Dakota, so; California, 94. The returns of yield per acre of wheat indicate n produc- tion of about 13.1 bushels, being Is bushels greater than last October. The rate of yield by states is as follows: New York, 14.s bushels; Pennsylvania, 15.3; Ohio, 1914; Michigan, 15.S; Indiana, 9.4; Hi nois, 1s.3; Wisconsin, 16 5; Minnesota, 1929; Iowa, 14.s; Missouri, 15.4; Kansas, 1O.4; Nebraska, 6.5; South Dakota, 3.4; North Dakota, 11.2; Washington. 16.6: Oregon, TIT; California, 11.9.

What a Dre.smaker Says.

A dress as we'll as a coat should be fastened from the bottom up, and not from the top down. The constant tug ging from the shoulder soon gives any waist dragged-down look that may be avoided if it be constantly pushed up ward, as it is when the lower fasten- ings are hooked or buttoned first. Of course, this cannot be done if dress is too small, another name for what some people call "good fit." But if waist be properly fitted, no matter how close ly, it can be as well fastened from ths bottom up as vice versa.

PENSION FRAUDS.
What Pension Examiner Discovered iE. an Agents Tin Box.

Agents Tin Box.
 DUBUQUE, Ia., Oct 10.-Special Ex- aminer E. F. Waite, of the pension bureau, in obedience to the order of Judge Shiras, in the federal court, has filed the documents captured in the famous tin-box in Pension Agent George M. Van Leuvend's private office at Lime Springs. The documents are mostly in the form of correspondence, discriminating upon it's face between Van Ilgvrend and certain boards of medical liners with whom he had relations. aarly all of the numerous indictments found against the pension attorney are based on these letters. In all about 700 papers are filed.
 Some of these letters are to pension claimants whom Van Leuvend advised to grease" the members of the boards in order to have their examiners go through smoothly. Others are letters between the agent and the surgeons in which terms are agreed on for rais- ing ratings and fixing up the papers in the case.
 It appears that Van Leuvend gave claimants to nderstand that this pay ment of money to medical examiners was the usual thing established by long practice, and it does not appear that there was as rule corrupt intent on the part of the claimant. Some of the doc uments show that affidavits as to phys ical disability were bought from the physicians at an average rate of about 30 cents line. One letter makes an offer to physician at Lincoln, Neb., to pay S5 for an affidavit covering dis ease of the stomach, deafness, rheuma- tism and heart disease. The doctor sent the affidavit. but demanded S10 for it. This physician, whose name is not revealed, has since testified that he has made large number of affidavits, and that his price ranged from $5 to Sl0.
 Affidavits are made to cover nearly all the diseases known, and in order to get the applicants before examining boards with whom he was friendly, printed forms were used for affidavits and the claimants were asked to copy these in their own hands and sign them. Many did not know what they were doing. The filing of the papers is a surprise to the defense, which did not want them made public, its idea being simply to get access to them.

The Wool Schedule.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Secretary Carlisle yesterday received from Acting Attorney-General Maxwell an opinion in which he holds the word wool" as used in the woolen schedule of the new tariff act, refers to the hair of the sheep only, and that new and lower duties on goods made of the hair of other animals went into effect on the signing of the act. The opinion further states that the phrase ''manu- lecturers of wool" in that paragraph, is not applicable to articles of which wool, as so defined, although compe- tent material, is not the material of chief yalne.

HypertrOphy or the Heart.
 BERLIN, Oct. 10.-In view of the re- ports that the czar's condition has changed for the worse, the correspond ent of the Associated press in this city had an interview with Prof. Von Ley den, who was recently in attendance upon the czar at Spala. He said: 1.-The illness of the czar is peculiar. His prin- cipal trouble is granulated contrac- tion of the kidneys, in which the kidneys become hard and change tissue, be- sides being subject to atrophy. This is accompanied by hypertrophy of the heart, resulting from enlargement of its muscular tissue. This latter leads to breathing difficulty and is often very painful, the spasms being com plicated by fits of unconsciousness There is no dropsy, however. Dia- betes, in the preliminary stage, has de- clared itself. Under the most favor able circumstances, however, the dis ease is of lengthy duration, possibly years, and the results are most uncer- tain

DUN'S REVIEW.
Government Crop Reports Not Trusted
 State of Trade.
NEW YORK, Oct 13.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
 Business is still waiting for the development of retail trade There is a little better de- mand in some industries but not so good in others. Wholesale dealers in nearly all branches are halting because business does not yet show distinctly what 1t is to be. Lower prices for the great farm staples and lower wages in some establishments hinder purchases for consumption, while political interests and uncertainty also have some influence. Mean while large imports and small exports of merchandise, with inadequate employment for money here are raising the rates of exchange so that possibilities of gold exports somewhat affected the stock market. The halting atti- tude for the moment is disturbing to those who have looked for continued gain, though rightly considered it is the natural consequence of conditions which are to be expected at this season.
 The government crop reports are not greatly trusted, and yet have an influence and actually exaggerate the tendency toward lower prices because th5y are supposed to report all the crops too low. Men calmly reckon that, if the government report indicates over 400 100000 bushels of wheat the crop must be over O0OO,- 900 bushels, and though western receipts for the week have only been I,i59,0T5 bushels, against G,33j3R last year, and Atlantic eX- ports only G4724I bushels, against 9)0,56i last year, the price is slightly lower. Corn is stronger, for receipts are hardly quarter and exports barely an eighth of last years, and the question whether the actual yield, if above the government estimate, may not prove lower than has been supposed
 The woolen mills still have numerous be- lated orders for fall goods, but the demand for spring does not increase. though in nearly all the lower priced products domestic makers appear able to command most Of the business that exists. Sales of wool have been 4,S779I9 pounds against 2,500i52 last year, and 7,O9O6O in 1892 and prices are shade weaker for fine fleece Ohio xxx is selling at 17h cents at Philadelphia, but combing and territory wool are steady.
