PERFECT ORGANIZATION
Demonstrated in the Canadian Pacific
 Teiegraphers' Strike.


 WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. The sud- denness of the railroad operators strike on the Canadian Pacific is scarcely as surprising as the apparent completeness of their organization. No body of railway men wno have un- dertaken wid espread strike such as this ln Canada ever showed such strength at the outset as the telegraph operators have done. 1t appears that officers of the Order of Railway Photographers have been working on the various divisions of the road for several months, and before they sought an interview with the executive officers of the railway, a perfect understanding had been reached among the operators and station agents from one end of the'line to the other
 An attempt was made during the agitation to federate all the railway unions, but this project failed to ma terialize, though it is said the train men gave a promise of support to the operators in their demands If this be true it can be readily understood why the latter dared so bold move as to order strike over coco or 1000 miles of railway, which involves the paralysis of commercial business in half of the Dominion.
 The strike may seriously affect the grain shipments of Manitoba and the northwest, and do incalculable damage in that way. The grain men of the country are very anXious.

CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
A Topeka thas.) Publishers Little Game
 Smoked Out.


 TOPEKA, Kas., Oct I.-E. l.. Shel- ton, publisher of the Illustrated Week. ly. here, has been arrested upon the complaint of Postal Inspector Water bury, on a charge of defrauding the railway of passes. Representing that his paper had 10000 circulation he secured mileage books and passes for his alleged travelling men. These he sold to ticket scalpers and brokers throughout the United States, furnishing copies of the Illustrated Weekly and credentials, that the parties purchasing the trans- portation from the brokers might suffer no inconvenience in being identi- fed The railroads have been de- frauded of thousands of dollars which have gone into the pockets of Shelton and the ticket brokers. The scheme, it is believed, was inaugurated about the middle of last year and has been in constant operation since.

THE FIRST DECISION
By the Appellate Court Under tho New
 Indiana Election Law.


 Indiana Election Law.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1-The appellate court has decided the first election bribery case and affirmed the Gibson circuit court in its decision of the case of Charles Thompson against the state ex rel John Mckinney. Me- Kinney, who lives in Vincennes, recovered Judgment against Thompson under the Austra- lian ballot law, which provides that the man who accepts a bribe for casting or not casting his ballot may recover $500 from the briber. He declared that the defendant paid him S to stay away from the polls in 1892. The evidence showed that after ac- cepting the bribe he returned to the polls and voted. The court holds that in this caee he lost no right of action, and the offense was committed when the bribe was given.

SPLIT HAIRS.
What to Do to Restore tho Ends That Are
Thus Damaged.


Thus Damaged.
Volumes have been written about the
caro- of the roots of the hair and the scalp,
while little has been said about tho other
ends. A Psyche knot Grecian coil, n
Roman twist or any other couture ceases
to be a thing of beauty if bristling with
dry or split hair ends.
With some women tho ends of the hair
split into two parts, but with others 1t di-
vides into SO many that the end of each
hair looks like miniature paintbrush
In some cases the hairs not only split ut
the ends, but several inches farther up fine
slivers seem to DO Clipped from the main
stem. When hairs are injured in this way.
they cease to grow longer.
TO restore split hairs to n moro healthy
state 1t is necessary to cut off every hair
above the place where it is split or chip
ped. To cut cach hair seems O heroulean
task, but 1t can be simpifled in this man.
nor: Divide the hair into two, three or
four parts, according to its thickness; then
braid each part rs closely to tho head and
as tightly as possible. Tic each braid I'm
inch or SO from the end with thread OF
worsted or wind small rubber band
around 1t to keep the braid from loosen.
ing.
Hold the end of the braid firmly with
one hand and with tho other rub the braid
tho wrong way-that Is, toward the head
and most Of the hairs which do not ex-
tend the whole length of tho braid will
spring out like the quilts Of porcupine
With scissors clip these outstanding
hairs, being careful not to cut the smooth
strands Of the braid. Then clip tho split
ends below where tho braid is fastened
Unless the hair is very much split and
broken you can do the clipping yourself,
but If it is uneven and split close to the
scalp it will be better to have some one else
clip it.
This clipping should DO done onco In
two weeks or oftener until all tho split
ends hive been cut. Then tho hair will
feel us smooth and soft and fine as that
which grows close to tho soalp.-New York
