Slow Work on Foreign Cables.

1t takes longer for a European firm to
get out hurry order than the average
American would require for the same
amount of work, as Is shown by a letter
from Nice from Vice Consul Piatt of re-
cent date. He says:
In the course of an interview which l
had yesterday with the mayor of Nice I
learned that the new electric tramways
which were to be operated about Oct. Is
Will until Dec 10 be run by horsepower
The reason given is that the existing tele-
phonic wires are not of sufficient strength
to resist being affected by the power
used for the tfamways, so that they
must be replaced by strong cables placed
underground. but not a single concern, it
is said, can be found in France to deliver
the necessary cables before Nov l. r
This in itself may not be fact of par
amount Importance. but reverting to the
continuous attempts made by this con-
sulate to induce our manufacturers to
cultivate the very considerable opportu-
mites offered by the port Of Nice for
direct trade with the United States it may
not be out of place to say that in this
instance an American firm might have
competed with success in furnishing the
necessary electric cables

n THE DARK CONTINENT
An Address by Rev. z. S. SEN
gend OF the Soudan.
HIS MISSIONARY CAREER
An Interesting Description of the Cour-
try, It's People and Their Gus
toms-The Natives Are
Mohammedans

Rev. K. S. sengend of the soudan.
Africa, preached a sermon on the
Power of Christianity in the Dark
Continent last night in Carpenters
Union hall. and there was a large
congregation to greet the distinguish
ed lecturer. The sermon was in the
nature of a historical sketch of the
Soudan and an interesting word pic
ture of the semi-savage condition of
the people with whom the speaker has
in his missionary career come in con-
tact. He speaks With a full knowl-
edge of the subject in hand and this
fact gives added interest to his lee
ture.
Rev. Mr.. Sengehd belongs to the
Scandinavian body OF workers. He be-
gan with typographical of the Sou
dan, describing it as being densely
wooded and watered and whose eli
mate adapted to the cultivation Of
fruits and many vegetables. It was
particularly the people and their Gus
toms and history the missionary dwelt
upon. The book of the Koran. the
speaker said, was the law In the Sou
dan. The land is rich in mineral
developed because the law as laid
down in the Koran prohibits it. The
people cultivate their crops in the
primitive way, and these furnish the
sum total of their subsistence. The
Mohammedans are students of history
and every day from sunrise till noon
they gather together and listen to one
of their number read from this the
historical works of a native historian,
not reaching out for knowledge, how
ever, further than their own country
or seeking to learn from any source
than the word of the Koran. The
land is productive of potatoes and
tomatoes. and many other vegetables
grown and eaten in this country, but
these are not raised because no mem
ton of them is made in the Koran.
The people as class are indolent
and do but little work, but are ex-
cessive smokers and coffee drinkers.
The Mohammedans believe that the
time is near at hand when the great
Mohammed is to make his appearance
on earth and they are in state of
constant expectation over the expected
arrival.
Referring to the heathenish prac-
tees and customs of the barbar.ans,
the speaker said that he had seen men
and women slaughtered for no other
reason than they had expressed them
selves in favor of the Christian relig
ion. He had seen Mohammedan man
murder his child because his wife had
expressed desire to rear it in the
Christian faith. declaring that he
would rather kill it outright than TO
see it grow up in the faith it's mother
had adopted. He had also seen a
Christian missionary strapped to a
tree, his hands and feet bound, and

Are Women to Wear Wigs ::

From the PlttSburg Dispatch.
1t is with pain and dismay that we learn
from an alleged scientific comment on this
course of the fashions that we are APP
preaching an era of feminine wigs. The
assertion is backed by a report Of wigs
worn by the smart women of Paris, blu.
the explanation Of the coming misfortune
in the line of coiffure credits it to a more
obvious relation of cause and effect than
can be generally discovered in feminine
fashions
The explanation is briefly that in the
past fashions crimping irons and curling
tongs to produce wavy and romantic locks
damaged the vitality of the hair. Then
the pompadour roll strained it back until
nature proceeded to revenge herself by
producing nice little bare spots on the
heads of fashionable women. After which,
when the coming fashionable effect re-
quires more hair than the feminine head
is able to furnish, recourse must be had
to the hair of commerce to supply the
lack.
If fashion calls for wigs, wigs will be
worn. We can set that down as settled
by the testimony of the centuries as to
feminine fidelity to the fashions. Never
theless, we would urge upon the better
half of society to take this scientific
fashionable prediction in the light of a
warning rather than chart Dear la
dies. preserve your hair. If you must
wear wigs you will still be the mistresses
of masculine affections "a

SWEEPING OFF THE SEA GuLLS.
Birds to Be Slaughtered So That Women
May Wear the Plumase.

Birds to Be Slaughtered So That Women
May Wear the plumage.
From the Boston Transcript
Two wings and the breasts of sea
gnlls are going TIC be very fashion,
agile this winter--that is, if women
encourage the fashion. In August an
agent from large millinery house in
New York went to Bar Harbor and
engaged all the Indian men and boys
he could get who were then camping
there, to go out in canoes and shoot
the gulls. We will buy all you can
shoot for the next four years was the
promise, SO an Indian woman told one
who was interested enough to inquire
into particulars. The agent left his
agency there in the hands of a clerk
in one of the hotels, then went on his
way to Eastport, and SO along the
coast engaging as many men and boys
as he could to enter upon the work
| Of destroying the gulls that help to
make the coast SO picturesque, and also
act as scavenger along the Shores eat
ing the dead fish and other decaying
matter.
1t is hardly necessary even to state
that the men and boys are not always
expert shots. and therefore are likely
to wound as many as they kill: thus
pleasure boats floating over the charm
ing bays and inlets of the Maine coast
this fall are likely to come across sulls
with broken wings struggling to fly,
but held down in the waves until
slow and miserable death relieves
them. The breeding season makes no
difference in this inhunan work. There
are no game. laws for the gulls, and
the wounding mother bird that has
succeeding in fiuttering away from
her pursuer dies close to the nest of
starving little ones that she cannot
quite reach, and within hearing of
their piteous cries.
How it is possible that women with
the smallest spark of humanity, to
say nothing of Christianity, can en-
courage this barbarism by wearing
the plumage of the slaughtered birds!
There is not the excuse that the birds
are needed for food. There is abso-
lutely no excuse and no reason but
vanity-a love for decoration that costs
the life of happy, living creatures.
Will not any woman who hears CT this
exterminating process refuse to wear
! these wings and breasts? Do you want
to help on this useless and wicked sac
rifice of life for mere vanity? Savages
decorated themselves with feathers
and scalps; ought not you be many
grades above the savage? Show, then,
your civilization, your humanity, your
Christianity, if you profess any, by
refusing to decorate yourself with the
wings or the plumage of any bird.

Walsh Were Deceived.

A Large Number OF Arrests for Minor

JUST A PLAIN VAGRANT

At an early hour yesterday morning
Police Captain Leyden and Officer Tom
Walsh had their attention directed
to an individual whose suspicious &C
tons gave them reason to think they
had an opportunity to capture a Gull
prit red handed in an act of vandal-
ism. They stood conversing on Park
street and saw a man skulk-they
Thought he skulked-along the street
and enter the big new building Patrick
Talent is erecting on the south side
of the street, just east of Main, which
Is approaching completion.
AS cutting out the lead pipe and lug
ging off anything else that is portable
is quite generally a source of much
annoyance to builders and contra ctors
who have buildings in course of cree
1ion, and the culprits are very hard to
catch. the officers thought they had
the opportunity they have long sought
to make an example. Accordingly,
ahey laid for their man. Officer Walsh
went around to the rear of the build
ang and Captain Leyden watched the
front. BY agreement they both waited
some time to give the supposed depre-
dator chance to do his work, for they
wanted the evidence To- be conclusive.
Every minute they expected to see
something come tumbling out Of the
windows and then they would bag
their prey and see to it that depredat-
ors OF this character We're given a
wholesome lesson.
But they waited and waited and no
signs OF mischief presented them
selves. Finally Captain Leyden con-
cluded to go in and investigate, and,

their disgust, that they had been badly
fooled. The supposed vandal was
wrapped in sound slumber ON the floor
lin one of the halls. They awakened
him and took him to Jail; where he
was booked for vagrancy. He gave
the name of John Murray.
The register at the police station
contained numerous entries yesterday
of arrests for minor offenses. Among
them were two cases in which persons
sought to force their society upon peo-
pie to whom it was unwelcome. James
