SENATOR FRYE,s HAIRCUT.
Trials and Tribuiations of His Visit to q
f--,.-z Partisan Barber.

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal.
In a letter to his family in Lewiston Sen
ator Frye relates little incident of expert
ence in Paris that takes the form of a joke
on himself.
MRS. Frye remarked to me the other
day. writes the senator, that 1 needed
haircut. 1 was on my way to join anew the
company of counts, hereditary dukes, noble
lords and earls, and, although 1 don't care
a rap for all the quarterings on their crests,
] don't want my hair to go romping over
my coat collar, and that's just what Mrs.
Frye said it did do.
NOW, L am a bit particular about who
shears my poll. know a man in Lewiston
who can suit me. l lie back in his chair
while he talks fishing and fox-hunting and
neighborhood news and he shears it to my
taste. l have my favorite barber in Wash
ington, but in Paris l am not on speaking
terms with many of the tonsoral profess
sion, and as l said, am particular about
how it is cut. So l took my book of Con-
versational French in Hour and turned to
where man is instructed to go TO his bar
bers and get a Lewiston CMe.) haircut.
Il put in some time the matter and,
banishing all thoughts of peace treaty,
Spanish ratiocination and attendant annoy
ances, L went forth in quest of a halrcutter,
Mrs Frye telling me not to be gone long.
1 found my shop and went in. A barber APP
preached me as / took off my top coat and
l turned on him, feeling good deal more
embarrassed than did the first time l ever
addressed the house, and that is saying a
good deal. He bowed and 1 bowed, and then
I addressed him volumniously in con-
versational French, describing in choice i'd
ION how wanted it cut and where.
He looked puzzled. Again went over
it, and, gaining confidence from the atten-
tiOn that I tad hx,c ;u
that must have convinced him that l
wanted my head cut off right above my coat
collar The man hestitated, and finally,
spreading his hands out in a deprecatory
gesture, said to mein choice English:
All, l beg your pardon! You are a
Dutchman, see, and speak no French. We
do not speak Dutch. But do you happen to
speak English?
1--WE got on very we'll after that, and 1
got very good haircut"

FILIPINO CONGRESS
Unanimously Adjourned Owing to Diff.
Guilty in Formulating Constitution.

Manila, December 26.-The so-called con-
gress of the revolutionary government of
the Filipinos, which had been in session for
some time at Malolos has unanimously ad-
Journed owing to the difficulty of formulat-
ing a constitution.
The cabinet of President Aguinaldo ap-
pointed at Bacoor on July 25 last and named
in the Bacoor proclamation issued that day,
has resigned.
General Aguinaldo, who had been at Ma
lolos, came to Santa Ana, suburb of Ma
Mia. He then visited Palermo and now il
is reported he has gone to Cavite Viejo, the
old town of Cavite. Reliable advices say
that while he was at Palermo he was inde-
fatigable in his efforts to overcome the pol
icy of the militant factions which are hos
tile to the Americans. 1t is probable that
his influence will avail to avert trouble,

which was placed bodily in a hospital am

seat beside her husband, who was also ac-

heartily cheered as the ambulance was driv-

A number of sailors have been especially

open. He looked very unlike an invalid as
he partially sat up in the vehicle. He was
