Aslatie Criminals.

The worst feature OF the Asiatic
criminal is his vindictiyeness. To plot
against the life Of one who has done
his best TO compass your fall, who has
dishonored wife or daughter, or lain in
wait for a son; TO shoot grasping
landlord and knock a land agent on
the head-these sort Of episodes are IA
miliar enough in British annals OF
crime. But in his thirst for revenge
the Asiatic will sacrifice himself, his
wife, his child, his unoffending neigh
Dor, IL he can only get up n case
against a rival. Human life for him
has no sanctity. II the native police
man ought TO discover a human body

FASHIONS LOCKS.
The Day of Frousy, Frlzzy Hair fIas Fad'
Into the Past.

The Day of Frovsy, Frizzy Hair Has Faded
Into the Past.
The day of frowsy, frizzy hair has en-
tirely gone by, unfortunately for the
girls with fine soft tresses which fail to
make any show all without the friend
ly aid of the curling tongs. Thick
glossy hair, with only the least bit of a
wave. IL any, is now the correct thing,
and, though 1t might not appear so at
the first glance. it is really more
trouble to keep it in good order than it
was to manage the crimps and curls
which require manifold little paper
wads or the whitening hot irons.
For hair that is to be worn perfectly
smooth must first of all be kept exquis-
itely clean, which is no trihing under
taking, when it grows thickly on the
head and not one devoid OF danger.
Many a serious cold has been contract
ed by washing the hair, process which
should always be followed by careful
drying with hot towels and tanning
and when partially dry an alcohol
shampoo should be given. The gloss
which is now considered so desirable
can only be acquired by long and re-
peated brushing. The hundred
strokes" night and morning has be-
come a wearisome platitude, and to give
the strokes is undoubtedly more wear
isome still, but they are necessary II
one would possess satiny hair.
Mrs. Ruthford Is. Hayes, as is well
remembered, wore her black hair in
the old bandeau style, which has been
revived this season. Her prominence
as first lady Of the land came between
its two periods Of popularity, but she
showed not only her independence OF
character. but knowledge of her own
individual style and what best suited
II in way that other women would dc
well TO initiate. One may be sure that
the shining surfaces OF Mrs. Hayes
bandeaux are not due 10 pomades, but
10 what Is, with extreme vulgarity
called elbow grease. IN. Y. Sun.

MUNICIPAL INVESTIGATION.
Testimony as to the Electric Light
Combine at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 4.-The senatorial
investigating committee, which is inquir-
ing into the municipal conditions of Phil
adelphia, decided to-day by unanimous
vote to go to Pittsburg and investigate the
municipal conditions of that city. Chair
man Andrews will name the date.
When the Senate committee renewed its
work of investigation to-day the subject of
awarding contracts for electric lighting was
taken up and evidence was presented show
ing that Senator Charles Porter, David
Martin and others prominent in politics
were members of the nine companies fur
nishing the city with electric lights. This
evidence was given by Arthur "A. Lea, MEM
Der Of the firm OF Lea Bros. x Co. Mr.
Lea said he had made an investigation of
the cost OF electric lighting, both here and
elsewhere, and found that this city paid far
more for its lighting than any other city.
He said there were $500 lights in this city,
or more than New York, Chicago and Bos>
ton put together. He told of his inability
to learn who were the directors OF GER
tain companies, and said that for the past
three years there has been practically no
competition in the bidding for the contracts.
Instead there has been every evidence or
combination on the part of the companies.
as each of the nine companies has been
successful in the city and none of the com>
panies, in bidding, has encroached on the
territory Of the others Colored maps were
submitted in evidence showing the sections
of the city the companies supply with light.
The committee then adjourned until to-
morrow.
