If a person had made his way to s. H..

and ut the same time startling coGglom-
eration of ''physogs' would meet his
gaze. He would no doubt imagine the
young men of the senior class had been
frightened at something terrible indeed.
The reason for all this can be easily
explained, Monday night after school,
we were kindly Informed by Miss Stella
Jones that our presence WAS wanted at
her pleasant home on Madison Ave, the
object of which was to have our hair
curled. Nearly all were present at the
appointed hour, and after a few moments
of general conversation, we ad journed to
the kitchen and were told that the
several bundles seen on the table were
to be sold to the young gentlemen at
auction. The articles were quickly dis
posed of ut fabulous prices by that
ppery-tongued orator, Mr.. Grover.
The hats, as they proved to be, were
trimmed in short order by the boys and
we would remark right here, that if
some of the Young men, especially Mr.,
Palmer, should enter the artistic bust
ness, our local milliners would find
little to do. We next proceeded to the
business at hand, namely, hair curling,
the art in which the young ladies excel.
This completed the evenings entertain
ment. The next morning at school the
lady members of the class having their
hair down their backs, and the young
men with theirs Paderewski and Figii
Island style, our appearance was unique
indeed. NJ

SURE FOR MKINLEY.
Senator Pritchard Says He is Friend
OF Silver. But Can't Stand
Free Trade.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Senator
Pritchard left for his home in North
Carolina Saturday evening after
protracted conference with Vice
Chairman Apsley, Of the eOngressiOn-
al campaign committee, The senator
is quite satisfied with the situation as
he finds it in his state.
For the first time in the history of
North Carolina" said he, 1--WE have an
election law that will insure all par
ties a fair count and an honest cleo
ton" ''Under such auspices" he
said, Mckinley is bound to carry the
state The Republicans have had
their electoral candidates in the field
for long time and an active canvass
is being made"
When asked how it was that he, an
ardent friend of free silver, could so
earnestly espouse the Republican plat
form, Mr.. Pritchard replied as fol-
lows:
Il am silver man and am just as
earnestly in favor of the free coinage
of that metal now as 1 ever was, but
do not propose to accept free silver
coupled with free trade, free corrup-
ton, free fraud and free everything
else that is bad. l will vote for free
coinage whenever the occasion pre-
sents itself as an independent propo-
sition, but. do not intend to use it as
club to beat down everything else
that is good. | believe the Republic
can declaration for international BIZ
metallism is better for the country,
coupled with protection, than the
Democratic declaration for free silver
I coupled with free trade.
"The Republicans never had bet
ter opening before in our state than
now presents itself and / am quite
confident that we will carry North
Carolina for Mckinley"

JOHNSON COMES HOME.
THE AUSTRALIAN PARs0N is
WITH HIM.
American Bike Riders Have no Reason
For Fearing Competition With
England or France.

New York, Aug. 3.-Bicyclist John
son, who arrived on the steamer Paris,
does not believe the crack foreign
riders are as dangerous as they have
been painted. He admits they are
a long way from the novice stage, but
predicts that If the picked French and
English riders should come over and
meet our stars they would have the
utmost respect for the Americans.
"These men are fast riders" John
son said last night, but they are not
speedy enough to beat our best men
in contests on this side of the water.
They are up to all tricks of the trade
and can make it very uncomfortable
for stranger if they try, and they gen
orally try hope that some of them
will come over this season, but /
doubt if arrangements can be made
to get them to come as there is plenty
of money TO be made abroad.
Tom Eek will continue to manage
Johnson, and according to the Min
neapolis man Eek remained abroad to
secure the American rights for an
electric tandem for the purpose of
pacing. Johnson said he saw the ma
chine in operation and is not ut all
enthusiastic over it. He is ON his
way to Chicago and will start or
Louisville some time next week.
The Australian Parsons who came
| over with Johnson is an athletic look
ing fellow, and very modest. OF his
| victory over Zimmerman he had moth
ing to say. 1t amused him to heal
that Americans said that the shrewd
Jersey mans defeat was due to poor
condition
Perhaps he was not at his best,
| said the Australian, but l was not
| expected to train him; it was a
tidy job to train myself. Zimmerman
made lots of friends in the colonies,
and they would give him a hearty
welcome if he returned there. Par
son is said to be well provided with
funds and his visit here is quite as
much for pleasure as for business.
In fact he does not appear to be in the
least anxious about arranging race.
Still, if good chance presents itself,
the Australian will give the Ameri-
cans a chance to see what he can do.

CRETAN AFFAIRS.
MATTERS MORE PROMISING FOR
PEACE THAN EVER.
Hassen Pasha Takes the Helm Again
and His Presence and Wisdom Are
Very Welcome Just Now.

New York, Aug. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Canea, Crete, says:
Extreme satisfaction is felt here a.
mong the Christians at the news that
the governor of Gambia, whose report
of the recent pillaging and burning
was not deemed satisfactory, has been
replaced by Hassan Pasha, who for
merly established such a satisfactory
condition in the same district.
This very prompt action of the
Turkish authorities is a striking proof
of the good will shown by the Vail,
who did his very utmost. Indeed he
could not have acted more promptly.
Commenting on the above the Her
aid says: The news contained in the
foregoing dispatch makes it clear that
Gergi Bevoritch, prince of Sagas, who
at the request of the European pow
ers was recently appointed governor
general of Crete in succession to Alb
dallah Pasha, is doing all in his power
to remedy the disorders existing in
the island. Gambia, which is situated
at about the center of the northern
coast line of Crete, is the largest and
most interesting town in the country.
OF late the villages in the neighbor-
hood have been the scene of burning
and plundering, the Turks throwing
the blame for the outrages on the
Christians and the Christians retort-
ing by charging it to the Turks. The
inquiry instituted by the governor
general Tor val), has shown the con-
duct of the government of Gambia to
be not free of reproach and this Off
cial has accordingly been replaced in
office by Hassan Pasha, who hitherto
has been acting as under the governor
of Crete.
Georgi Bevoritch, the governor gen
eral, who has won the hearts of the
Christians of this island, is himself
a Christian He is an Albanian of the
Greek church and was formerly vice
governor of Crete in which position
he became well known in Canea.
Previous to his recent appointment
as vail, or governor of Crete, he was
in charge of the government of Sagas
He earned in Sagas, the reputation
of having been an honest administra-
tor 1t may be added that as vail of
Crete he has no control over the Tur-
kish troops which still remain under
the military command of Abdullah
Pasha.

TELLS OF HIS LIFE.
Cleveland Citizens Thank Him For
His Generous Gifts

Cleveland Citizens Thank Him For
His Generous Gifts.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 3.-Seventy-five
members of the Chamber of Com

Ter Saturday afternoon at his summer
home, Forest HILL ten miles from the
heart of the city. TO thank him or the
gift of $1,OOO,OOO for park purposes,

ing to the speech by Col M. T. Her
rick, Mr.. Rockefeller told of his early
struggles here. Forty-two years ago
be came to Cleveland as a boy, and
when he left school he wandered all
met with encouragement everywhere
until Mr.. III. b. futile took him in his
office and gave him employment. A
few years later he went In business
with Mr.. Andrews in small way,
and in short time crisis came. The
young firm needed money, but his
riends were lust out" or had other
immediate use for it. Then he be-
thought himself of the bankers. After
some failures in his efforts to effect a
loan he called on t. p. Handy, now
past 80 years of age. When Mr.. Han
dy asked him how much he wanted
he scarcely dared name the sum, for
it seemed so enormous. He finally
managed to say that he wanted
$1,000, and when the banker agreed
to loan it to him, he walked out of the
bank the happiest man in all Cleve-
land. That was the beginning of the
great Standard oil fortune.
