to perform this feat consists
of a platinum wire stretched over a
comb. BY pressing a button, the cur
rent is applied to the wire, bringing 1t
to a white heat The comb is then pass
ed through the hair, and as the wire
comes in contact the hair is burned off.

A Scotch farmer, celebrated in his
neighborhood for his immense strength
and skill in athletic exercises, very fire.
quently had the pleasure of contending
with people who came to try their
strength against him. Lord d. a great
pugilistic amateur, went from London
on purpose to fight the athletic Scot.
The latter was working in an enclosure
at a little distance from his house when
the noble lord arrived. His lordship tied
his horse to a tree and addressed the
farmer. Friend, have heard marvellous
reports of your skill, and have come a
long way to see which of us two is the
better wrestler" The Scotchman, with
out answering, seized the nobleman,
pitched him over the hedge, and then
set about working again. When Lord
d. got up, We'll" said the farmer
have you anything to say to me?"
No" replied his lordship, but per-
haps you'd be good enough to throw me

OPENED TO TRADE.
Cen Otis Raises the Blockade of I'M
portnnt Ports In the Phil
ippines.

Manila, June 2S.-Maj. Gen. Otis has
ordered the opening to trade of many
important points that have been closed
since the outbreak. These include San
Fernando, on the west coast of Luzon;
Aparri on the north coast; Curimoa
and all ports in the islands of Samar
and Leyte. Many ships used in inter
island commerce have been tied up in
the harbor here for months, and the
shippers and merchants have been urg-
ing the government to raise the block
ade. When the decision was made
known yesterday the scene in the Gus
tom house was as animated as the floor
of an American stock exchange. 1t was
a busy day. Ship owners rushed to get
their clearance papers.
The Spanish consul general visited
Gen. Otis and said that the Spaniards
in the Philippines would entertain no
sentiments but those of respect toward
the new regime.

Adams, Mass, June 27.-The vacation
which President and Mrs. Mckinley
have been enjoying here as guests of w
b. Plunkett is at an end, and the presi-
Dental train is on its way towards the
nations capital. The president re-
turned to his executive labors in re
markably fine health, but Mrs. McKin-
ley is not we'll and it is on her account
that the present stay was curtailed by
two days. The closing day of the visit
was made notable by number of pleas
ant incidents. Twice the president
spoke to the people of Berkshire of the
pleasure attending his visit and earlier
in the day he assisted in the ceremony
of laying the corner stone of what is to
be the largest cotton mill in western
Massachusetts,.

THE TRUST MOVEMENT.
promotor of the strawboard COM
biEe Seems to Think Ii Is on
It's Last Legs.

indianapolis, Ind, June 27.-Craw-
ford Fairbanks, of Terre Haute, the
brewery magnate and the promoter of
the strawboard trust. has just rel urned
from New York. 1t was easy TO ascer-
tain in talking with Mr.. Fairbanks that
he has a vivid idea that the trusts are,
so to speak, on their last legs. He said:
did you read that expression OF the at
torney-general of the United states, IN
which he said that the investors In trusts
would be the sufferers-not the puDnc!
We'll. his head may be level. The investors
have a stomach full of trusts. Trust stock
is down from Is to 20 points, and the lnVes-
tors don't bite like they did The furore
is wearing off. 1t takes bigger chunk OF
bait and better quality to have any tempt
ing effect than it did awhile back. don't
think that it is possible to put through any
trust deal on large scale in the future.
There is going to be a lull in trust opera
tons for some months at least, while the
people who have the money are away at
the summer resorts and there may be re-
vival of operations in the fall, but not un-
til then. Meanwhile, 1t may be depended
upon that the little promoters will keep the
air filed with trust talk"

SIGNAL SUCCESS.
American Delegates at The Hague
Have Gained Much support
for Their Ideas.

London, June 2S.-The correspondent
of the Standard at The Hague says:
The proposal of Mr.. Hollis, OF the Ameri-
can delegation, for the revision of the
arbitration tribunals judgments has
been postponed for the present; but
there is no doubt it will eventually be
approved. In the whole arbitration
matter the United States has scored a
signal success, most of the ideas of the
American delegates having been
adopted. Their representations in Ber-
lin secured Germany's assent. The full
conference will deal with the American
proposals as to private property at sea,
all opposition based on the question of
competence being abandoned. Most
probably, however, it will be adjourned
to a future conference

Renort Is Satisfactory.

Washington, June 27.-Gen. Otis de
tailed report of the conditions existing
in the Philippines is considered very
satisfactory at the war department. 1t
is taken to mean that Gen. Otis will not
now prosecute campaign on account
of the rainy season, except where the
insurgents make ii necessary to defend
the territory now in possession of the
United States. That portion of the dis
patch telling of the belief among Fill
pinos that the present policy of the
United States will not be upheld is re-
garded as of great significance. 1t is
believed that when the Filipinos see
there is no hope of their recognition by
the United States they will give up the
fight The absence of any suggestion
as to more troops being needed is taken
to mean that Gen. Otis does not believe
they could be used to advantage at pres
emit

THE QUESTION OF TROOPS.
President on His Return to Wash.
fngtOn Considers the Situation
in the Philippines.

Washington, June 2S.-The president
and Mrs. Mckinley, with the other
members of the presidential party, re-
turned yesterday from their trip to
Massachusetts. AS a result of a con-
ference between the president and Sec
rotary Alger it has been decided to be-
gin the enlistment of volunteers for
two years service in the Philippines.
There will be no enlistment of organi-
cations, nor a call upon the states for
troops. All the new men are to be
known as United States troops, and en-
listments will be continued at all re-
cruiting stations. When there are
enough additional recruits for a regi-
ment officers will be appointed and the
regiments organized.

of Arbitration.

London. June 21.--'. he correspondent
Of the Daily News at The Hague says:
"The German delegates on Monday pri-
vately informed their colleagues that
they had received instructions to ac-
cept the principle of permanent tri-
bunal of arbitratio as outlined in the
Anglo-American plans. This and the
speech of Col. Gross Won Schwarzhotf
plainly intimating that Germany had
made up her mind against the Russian
idea of disarmament and had reached
the conclusion that the time had ar
rived to tell the world so are the two
great events of the whole conference.

Will Not Call Special Session.

Milwaukee, June 27.-Gov. Scotield
came to Milwaukee Monday to confer
with DR.. +. w. Epley, of New Richmond,
in regard to the relief fund. DR.. Epley
advocates the calling of special SEES
sion to provide for an appropriation of
$500 for the relief of the tornado suf-
ferers. Gov. Scofield has decided not to
call special session. He is of the opin-
ion that all necessary funds should be
raised by subscription and is confident
that adequate subscriptions will ulti-
mately be made in that way.
