This points to the fact that the chair
man of the peace commission is a much
changed man for the better by the rest
OF week at sea, salt water baths and
the bracing air on the deck Of the
steamer. His face is rudy and his eyes
are frightened by added vigor.
The commissioners were received by
the United States consul. Mr.. James
Boyle The mayor of Liverpool ex-
tended an invitation to attend a func-
ton to be held this evening in honor
Of the British warships now here. The
invitation, however, was declined, the

 "Did you ever notice, said a veteran tonsorial artist, who had shaved New Haveners since 1873, to New Haven Register man, ''that you only sec few old barbers?"
 "Why is it?"
 "There are a good many reasons, :" answered the veteran knight of the blade T suppose the chief one is that barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 40 years old and he has to give up. A good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers throats Still. will say that in all my experience of 37 years never saw n man badly cut by barber, not even by an accident for which the barber was not responsible. ''
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?"
 "Oh, some of them go to the poor house, U he replied, with twinkle in his eye, land some of them, who have saved their wages, buy little places and live on them, perhaps running Q farm Some of them, of course. go into other business, perhaps bookselling or else be- come insura,ce agents.

QUEER LAKE SALAWlK.
Its Waters Grow Warm In Winter, and

Its Waters Grow Warm In Winter, and
 Men Can Fish There With Clubs.
 The rich plaeers of Klondike are not the only curiosity of the country travers. ed by the Yukon Not far from Dawson there is in Alaska really extraordina- ry lake which was named Salawilz by its discoverer, the Rev. P. Tosi, mis. sienary among the sayages.
 This lake, which is 90 miles long and about 15 miles wide, is perhaps the on- ly one in all that extreme northern re- zion which does not freeze over during the winter. No communication has been discovered between it and the sea, nev- ertheless at high water upon the coasts of tho northern ocean the level of the lake rises, and it falls again at low tide.
 This sympathy with the sea does not extend to the point of making Salawik 8 salt lake. On the contrary, its waters arc good to drink But another of it's peeuliarities Is that it's temperature rises i'll winter and falls in summer. When all the water courses of the neighboring country are completely frozen over, 14dA6 DdtotNlh DeG0IueS SO 8dTHu bHdb ib is really pleasant to bathe ill it. On the other hand, in the summer time the water is extremely cold.
 This peculiarity makes it in the win. ter time Mecca of fishermen. The abundance of fish in the lake is so great that q person can almost catch them with the hand and can kill large quan. titles with club Here for the miners is a source of food supply which they had not counted upon and which cer- tainly will contribute to diminish the cost of living, especially during the winter, ill that inhospitable region. In an hour man can get enough fish to supply himself for month, and of the very best quality, including salmon ranging from 20 to 90 pounds ill weight
 It will not Do astonishing if some fine day we may see upon the shores of Lake Salawik one of those fashionable hotels which are the glory of American watering places. .-Lewiston (Me. Re publique.

The Light & Water Go. is entitled to all of it's rights under its contract with the city, but the people should ac- cord it nothing more nor accept anything less than the full fulfil ment of its contract At present there seems to be only one remedy or relief, and that is for the city to organize an improvement district or issue time warrants payable at some specific date in the future, and build a water and light plant of its own. Certain it is that the existing condi- tion should not be tolerated any fur ther, for there is no accounting for the caprice of the Water x Light Co, and if nothing else can be done at present the City Council should at least authorize the Mayor to ob- tain a permanent injunction against the Light < Water Co.,, prohibiting that corporation from shutting off v.yn f or. i,, lima 0f fro

ABSENTEE IN FRANCE.

Taking a Glass of the Liquor Is a Whale
 Evenings Work.
 Although absinth is to a Frenchnsn what whisky is to an American, hs never dreamsof running behind screea and swallowing glassful in one tre. mendous effort. There is something al. most poetic ill the way Frenehman prepares and partakes of his beverage.
 It always takes two walters to serve a glass of absinth. Waiter No 1 brings the tray, upon which are a earafe fran- pc eice water that has been frozen in the carafe), e tall glass, a tiny tray piled up with small blocks of sugar and a queer, fiat, perforated spoon. Waiter No. 2, who has remained disereetly in the rear, advances with the bottle of the popular stimulant said to be the de. struction of so many French minds and bodies After saluting monsieur, the garcon carefully pours the desired quan- tlty into the glass and goes on to serve some one else.
 Then for the first time the French man shows some signs of interest in the matter. He relinquishes his hold on his cane, but one hand only; the other never deserts the cane. He carefully places the perforated spoon across the top of the glass. On the spoon he bal. ances with careful nicety, block of sugar and gently pours a small quantity of ice water over the sugar into the glass This done, he once more grasps his cane with both hands and apparent ly forgets all about the beverage before him. The sugar slowly melts, drop by drop, into the glass, through the per. forations of the spoon Quite awhile afterward, sometimes q half an honr the drinker again shows an interest in his beverage He looks to see if tha sugar has all melted; then he removes the spoon and raises the glass for a sip of the concoetion-only sip, however flor 1t is sip by sip that a Frenohman consumes his absiuth, and a glass of it. including the time passed in the prepa. ration, takes all entire eNeEing. -( jhl. eago Tribuna

DR. ANDREWS is to be disciplined by the Grand Army Post of Provi- dence, R. l., of which he is a mem- Der, for an eulogy he paid Gen. Robt. E. Lee in an address recently delivered at Chicago Do the mem bers Of the G. A. R Post know that a number of the leading col leges of the country are teaching that Gen. Lee was the greatest general in the late war, and really one of the greatest in the history of the #oiiidd93 Wtere during the war was there General who sustained his army against such great odds and overwhelming numbers, and yet won victories? Looked at in sthis light, Gen. Lee will take rank with the worlds greatest generals with Miltiades, Hannibel and Alex ander the Great, for we can appeal to the pages of history in vain and nowhere do We fined another gener- al who sustained himself and won victories against such great odds and overwhelming numbers. Do the c. A. R's. of Providence want to stultify history2 Do they want lies taught rather than the truth? Gen. Lee was an American, and though a Confederate general. he should be the pride and heritage of American valor, regardless of sec Vtions.

TIE Memphis papers having utterly failed in every other at tempt to iniure the candidacy of Benton McMillin for the Senate, are now trying to show that McMillin was opposed to free silver in 1893 and voted for the repeal of the Sherman act. The Commercial Appeal claims that McMillin made q speech fer re. peal and then suppressed it. 1t is really amusing to see the Commercial Appeal opposing McMillin on the grounds that he is not a 'sgood silver man. when the Commercial Appeal cares about as much about
 rec silver as a hog does about holi-
 y. It has only to be remembered that the Commercial Appeal sup ported Patterson agalnst Carmack in the last Congressional campaign to show it's utter hypocrisy and in- sincerity in opposing McMillin on the grounds that he is not good silver man.

was the scene of considerable activity
last night and the leaders of the
movement in this country were in con-
ference during the greater part Of the
night. The result of this conference
was that it was definitely decided to
disband the junta in the event of war
being declared between the United
States and Spain. Thomas Estrada
Palma. the Cuban representative to
this country, will at once take up his
permanent residence in Washington
and all the other CubanS connected
with the work of the junta- except
those who are actually needed in Wash
ington. will return to Cuba and take up
arms in defense of their country.
1t was said that fully 5000 other
Cubans who are in the United States
would go to Cuba at the same time.
The reason that so many Cubans
have remained here during the war,
it was explained at the junta, is be-
cause il is absolutely necessary to have
funds to carry on the war for indie
peEdence, and these CubanS have by
their work here furnished large sums
of money to insurgents and thus en-
abled them to carry on the rebellion.
The further necessity for their work
here would be done away with in the
event of war between Spain and this
country, and they could then go to the
island and add to the Cuban army
much strength
