Barstow, Cal, Nov 2l.-The first Sec
ton of westbound Stante Fe train No. 81
was stopped two miles west of Daggett
early Saturday morning by men secreted
in the tender of the engine. Engineer
Bunnell was confronted by two 45-calibre
revolvers and ordered to stop, but this
order was countermanded and the train
proceeded for another mile and was then
brought to standstill at the command
of the robbers. who evidently expected to
meet pals at this point.
In this they We're not disappointed and
the robbers ordered Engineer Bunnell to
carry 20-pound bag of dynamite to the
express car. Messengers Hutchinson and
Blakely appeared at the door of the ex'
press car armed with guns. The robbers
fired at Blakely. who, locating them by
the flash of their guns, returned the fire.

their escape. A posse is in pusuit and
it is expected that at least one of them
will be captured shortly. The dead man

HARVESTS OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Gathered From the Locks of Euro
pean Peasants,

Women with scanty locks ought to like
to know that there are hair harvests, Just
as there are wheat harvests! The idea
does not sound very nice. but that it is
useful we must all agree. The hair har-
vest is much surer crop than the gram
one. 1t does not depend on the weather.
10 leave that side of the subject, most of
the hair women wear comes from Switzer.
land, Germany and France. There is a hui
man hair market in the lower Pyrenees
held every Friday Scores of hair BUYERS
walk up and down the village streets.
their shears dangling from the belts, and
examine the tresses which the peasant
girls let down for their inspection. If a
bargain Is struck the hair is cut and the
motley paid on the spot. These girls have
tne hair. Strangely enough, peasants Of
ten have much better locks than highly
educated women. Civilization does not
seem to care for heavy hair.
That which is cut off by the dealer
himself is the best. Dealers can easily tell
whether the locks offered them have been
cut or combed out. They do this by
rubbing the hair through their fingers. II
the hair has been cut from the head and
has not been misplaced it remains in the
original position. If it has been pulled
or c"mbed out and put together, regard.
less OF the direction in which it grew, one
portion will slip to the right and another
to the left. 1t does this because the jag,
ged edges catch upon each other and pull
in opposite directions.

CURIOUS APING OF ROYALTY.
Instances of Society Initiating the
Limps of Crippled Princes.

The Alexandra limp became the fash
ion in 1874 In that year the princess OF
Wales was afflicted with a lameness of
one OF her knees. Only slight limp was
the result, but this limp was caught up
and initiated by the ladies of the court
and then by a large proportion of the
Women of England. Not few of the
women of America also aped the fashion.
says Mainly About People
The long trains, which were 50 popular
and SO offensive feature of the fash
ions of the early seventies, grew out of
the fact that Queen Victoria, owing to a
painful swelling had been obliged TO
wear bandages on her foot. To conceal
the bandages, she heightened her skirts.
Her dutiful subjects straightway length
encG their skirts also, and in literal
sense they went through the streets car
rying dust and garbage and potential dis
ease into parlors and drawing rooms.
History is full of similar anecdotes
Alexander the Great had a twist in his
neck. 1t was therefore fashionable for
everyone in that monarch's court to carry
his neck awry. One day Francis |. of
France was struck on the chin with a
piece of tile. To hide the resultant scar
he allowed his beard to grow. His cour-
tiers all followed his example. Thus
boards came back into fashion, after hav-
ing been out for nearly century. Charles
VII. of France had pair of ill-made legs.
He wore long coat to conceal them. Re.
suit, everybody else wore long coats The
peruke is said to be due to the misfor-
tune of Philip, duke of Burgundy. His
hair fell out, and his physicians advised
him to cover his hair with artificial hair,
which he did, and thus set the fashion.
During the reign of George Ill, his
royal highness the duke of York had Il
duel with Colonel Lennox. and the
worthy colonel succeeded in shooting
away one of the dukes curls. Hence it
became the correct thing to wear curl
on one side OF the temple only. When
Fox, the first of Quakers, was sitting in
church and the preacher said anything
which he didn't like, he moved solemnly,
put on his hat. and kept it on until the
disagreeabe remarks concluded. Hence
arose the Quaker custom of wearing hats
in church.

printers, pressmen and bookbinders
throughout the country will work nine
hours and half day. The reduction in
the hours of labor is not in itself of great
consequence, for in many cities these
trades work but nine hours a day, but
theoretically the change is regarded in Ia
Dor and industrial circles as one of great
moment, as being the initiative step in the
struggle OF organized labor for universal

Cabinet Minister Talks.
Washington, Nov. ga member o
the cabinet, in an interview yesterday
afternoon, Immediately after the an
nouncement of the breaking off of peace
negotiations, made the following state
fnent as to the effect of the discontinue
ton of negotiations:
1.-The action of the Spanish commission
ers will not affect the purpose OF tn,
American government. Our government,
will still assert precisely what it ha'
claimed, and it will proceed to carry thest
claims into execution. / don't believe
there will be any concession on one, and
that is from the American side, nor actua
resistance ON the other. 1t will simpl,
remain for the American government tc
hold what it has proposed to hold, for il
is NV practically in possession, and al
that remains is to make this possession
an actual fact. While the Spanish gov
eminent declined to acquiesce, it can moi
interpose any obstacle. and the only re
suit will be it will be compelled later tc
recognize what it refuses to acquiesce in
at present.
81 say this on the assumption that the
notification given means really a rupture
of negotiations, and not simply move
ment to take them up in new way. One
significant effect is that this action nov
relieves this government of the whole
question of compensation for the Philip
pines"

The trumpet's voice hath reused the

LightNuSa the beacon pyre!
A hundred hills have seen the brand,
And waved the sign of fire!
A hundred banners to the breeze
Their gorgeous folds have cast,
And, bark! was hat the sound of seas?
"A king to war went past!
The chief is arming in his hall,
The peasant by his hearth;
The mourne hears the thrilling call,
And rises from the earth!
The mother on her first-born son
Looks with a boding eye
They come not back, though all be won,
Whose young hearts leap so high.
The bard hath ceased his song and
bound
The falchion to his side;
Fen for the marriage altar crowned,
The lover quits his bride!
And all this haste, n change, and
fear,
By earthly clarion spread!
HOW will it be when kingdoms hear
The blast that wakes the dead?
