How Giddy Paris Women Dye Their Hair.

To Prevent the Spring Pimple.
Women of fashion in Paris have, many
of them, fancy for changing the color of
their hair as they change the fashion Of
their dress 1t is a curious caprice, but
not an uncommon one, although the taste
displayed by it cannot merit even the du-
bious. compliment of being called ques-
tionable. One grand dame alters the hue
of her locks every three months, running
through the whole gamut of shades
blend, dark brown, black, light brown,
red and auburn. When the last resource
of these different colors is exhausted, what
will she dor Hcr freak already shows that
she is utterly indifferent to invidious crit
icism, SO there would appear to be no good

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-An appeal and
warning addressed $40 the American
People" was given to the United Asso-
ciated Presses last night by Chairman
Jones, on behalf of the democratic ma
tionai committee in which he says,
among other things:
In view OF the fact that the great corpora
tions, with scarcely an exception and many OF
the large employers OF labor In the United
States are engaged In concerted effort to
coerce their employees into voting at the ap-
preaching election against their own convic-
tions, deem 1t my duty to call upon all those
who believe In the supremacy OF the law and
the untrammeled freedom OF the Individual in
the right Of exercising the ballot. to use their
utmost effort to prevent the success OF this
most fragrant act OF lawlessness for II this
| conspiracy succeeds, government by corpora
tons will have succeeded government by the
people,
During the present contest, which involves
QuthtioHS VI tne utlloSt uolneut W INC ahci-
ican people, thousands Of men have been COM
PEELED BY fear OF losing their places to join
| clubs and march in procession in behalf OF a
cause they detest Requests from corporation
bosses to vote the republican ticket, which are
perfectly understood to convey threat Of dis
charge in case Of refusal, are made every day
to men who dare not resent the insult.
The preparation OF this attempted outrage
upon free suffrage will work its own cure. An
| indignant people, jealous of their rights, will
demand that the legislatures, state and ma
tional. shall proceed at once by rigorous meas.
| ures, TO prevent the possibility OF a repetition
| Of such attempts hereafter.
The national committee backed by the full
| power Of the democratic organization in every
state OF the Union, pledges itself that every
scoundrel, whether public officer or private
| citizens, who Is detected in any violation OF
the law, shall be vigorously prosecuted and
sent to the penitentary il possible.

A CONTRAST

between the Treatment of Military Pris.
oners by spaniards and Cubans.
HAVANA, Oct. 10.-To show the con-
trast between the treatment accorded
to rebel prisoners by the spaniards
and that shown to Spanish captives by
the insurgent leaders, the following
recent incidents are mentioned:
In the fight which Gen. Melquizo
had with Gen. Maceo's forces a short
time ago, Melquizo captured 40 rebels,
whom he ordered shot on the spot, and
in the recent engagement between Ma
ceo's troops and the Spaniards under
Con. Bernal, the latter caused % pris-
oners to be shot, including young
girl and two older women. Bernal
says that he saw one of these women
Kill 10 of his soldiers before she was
captured and killed.
With the 40 men killed by Melquizo
there were four women and a child,
but he does not know whether the
child was abandoned in the woods or
killed. They tried to force the women
to tell them the wherea bouts of Maceo
and his plans. but the only words
they got out of them were that the
Spaniards were cowardly dogs, and
this so enraged Melquizo that he or
dered them shot Immediately, they all
dying with the cries of "Vive Cuba

The Cubans pursue an exactly con-
trary course, as the following recent
case gives evidence: Perico Delgado,

GLADSTONE'S BRAVE WORDS
Read Before Meeting Called to Protest
Against Turkish Atrocities.

LONDON, Oct. 20.-A meeting called
for the purpose of protesting against
the Turkish atrocities was held in st.
James hall, London, last evening.
under the auspices of Rt. Rev. Edward
Stewart Talbot, ID. d., Bishop OF
Rochester. The hall was crowded to
its fullest capacity. A letter from Mr..
Gladstone was read, in which the ex-
minister declared that it would be a
wild paradox to say that the enforce.
ment of British treaty rights to stop
the systematic massacres in Turkey
would provoke hostilities from the
powers. He added that it would be
abandoning duty and prudence to ad.
vertise beforehand for the ears of the
great assassin that British action was
limited to what the most backward of
the six powers deemed sufficient II
the fundamental distrust OF Great
Britain and the belief that she is pur-
suing a selfish policy in the eastern
Mediterranean caused some powers to
be backward, that was matter de-
serving to be bravely considered.

Greenviile's Cotton Receipts,

Greenville has received more than
$4,000 bales Of cotton. This large guam
tity has been received in less than two
months, and few of our citizens realize
what that number of bales represents.
In money value it is nearly one million
dollars. In size it covers nearly ten
acres of land. 1t is grand sight to
visit the compress yard and see this
mass of cotton. 1t requires quite an
army of clerks and laborers to attend to
this business of loading and unloading,
storing, sampling and weighing. We
are informed that $50 laborers are at
work there, and that the pay roll last
week was over $1,000. .-Greenville Dem

CANADIAN WHEAT
Will Cut No Figure in the Export Busl.
ness This Season.

TORONTO, Oct, Oct. 20.-The latest
and most authentic information of the
crops of Canada show that the statis-
teal position of Canada this year is
far less favorable than for number
of seasons. As matter of fact, Can
ada will not cut any figure at all
among wheat-exp orting countries in
ls9697. Last year Manitoba raised
80, ,oOO. 900 bushels. This year there are
only l5,O0O,oOO or barely sufficient for
home requirements and seeding.
In the other provinces the crops are
short and, in place of exporting ten or
fifteen million bushels, as was done
last year, these provinces will need for
their own use all the wheat they
raised this year. Cash wheat is now
selling in Ontario at 7S to so cents and
No. / hard Manitoba wheat afloat at
Fort William, Lake Superior, at II
cents, which is considerably above an
export basis.
