eral Severely Criticised.

Full of Politics and
Personalities.

The proposition in the pOst-office bin

lit;cal and personal feeling.
While the present administration of the
Pust-office Department received commcn-
dation from u Republican Senator sMr.
WolCott OF Coioradol.s it received severe
criticism from Democratic Senator tMr.

came in for a large measure. of abuse from
u Populist Senator INT. Allen of Nebra ska1.
According to Mr.. Woic3tt the affairs
of the Post-nffice- Department are being
ably and intelligentIy conducted
Mr.. German ironit aliy congratulated the
Post office Depar that IL had a Re
publican Senator for a defender. and he
suggested, With biting sarcasm, that many
acts of the administration could best be
defended by SOME Republicans.
He condemned Postmaster General Wilson
for going about the country delivering lee
lures on tie tariff and on gold aud silly cr in
stead of attending To the duties Of his office,
and quoted the honlciy proverb that when a
man is found proclainIng his % wp virtue and
honesty there is a RI seal near at hand.
Mr.. Allen was even less reserved in the

this Mr.. McCuiiy, as constable, threatened
to close the stands of Strauss & Co., in
the market, put officers i'll possess Oh OF
their flower store at Masonic Temple and
sell all pcrishable goods found. Under
this threat il is aiieged, Mr.. McCully
tried to get from Mr.. Durfee a small part
OF the amonnt of the judgments. This

Not n Testament That Time.

Deputy Superintendent of Police James
Mcmahon displayed Il book at the Central
Station last night that is remarkable for
the fact that, on December 16, 1864, it
saved his life. This book is a treatise on
drill regulations.
on the above named date the Forty-first
Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in
which Deputy Mcmahon was then a captain,
was engaged in the battle of Nashville.
During the hottest of the conflict Capt.
Mcmahon became detached from his regi-
meut. 1t was the final ana decisive charge
and the captain, while enieavoring TO snift
his position TO q safer ono nearer his regi-
ment, was shot in the knee. Undaunted,
the aptain continued his course toward his
men, dragging himself down a small hill.
This hill was a vertabe target for the
enemy's bullets, but the captain painfully
crawled the gauntlet unconscious OF the fact
that another bullet had been stopped by his
book of tactics that he carried in his inside
pocket. The bullet, which was of 5S-calibre,
passed through the book, aud would have
pierced the captains breast had not its
force been arrested.-Cleveland Leader.

The Sleek Hair.

There is nothing about the whole person
that will betray lack of personal atten-
ton so readily as the hair. and nothing
that will respond so quickly by an improved
appearance To the care bestowed upon it,.
Hair that is carefully brushed nightly be-
trays the fact by shecny luster. a silken
gloss and softness of texture that neglected
tresses never have. So it is with the
hands and complexion. The skin that is
cleaned nightly by warm bath, though
no cosmetic is used, responds by soft,
satin-like texture. a well-grUomcd look,
and keeps its young appearance long after
the passing of the wonIan's first youth.
