falo Jones has been importuning con-
gress to let him have a stretch of land
In some part of the West, where ne
could undertake the propagation OIL
buffaloes under conditions much like
those found in the native home or the
animals. The committee on public LANDS
has decided to approve his plan, ana
has favorably reported on bill giving
to him lease of 10000 acres of land in
the southeastern part Of New Mexico
Jones is to pay an annual rental OF one
cent per acre for this property, and IS
required to keep on the reservation
herd of not less than one hundred. 1t
is thought that with this wide range OF
territory ON which to craze it will be
possible to perpetuate the American
buffalo and that the herd will increase
considerably.
1t is to be hoped that this experiment
will be a success We have saved many
Indians, and we ought to save a few
buffaloes.

TURN ,EM LOOSE,

| Tomorrow is, or will be, the last day
of March. Some time ago there was a
18th day of March, ON which date street.
sprinkling in New Haven was ordered
to begin Just before that date the dust
was blowing around New Haven like a
sand storm in the Arizona desert The
good Lord sent His snow from the Skies
and on the 18th of March and for two
or three days thereafter there was no
need of the -sprinkling that had
been ordered. Then the dust began it's
fierce and venomous antics again, and
there was general disgust until the
sprinklers that run on the street lear
tracks began their beneficent tours. Joy
and peace reigned in the sprinkled
streets and have reigned there since. So
much joy and peace has reigned in those
streets that the woeful condition of
those who live in streets not blessed
with car tracks has not attracted the
attention it ought to. Those who live
in such streets are as unhappy and dis
tressed as we all used to be when there
was no sprinkling anywhere. OF course
they are not mean enough to object to
the joy and peace which have descended
on those who live in the sprinked
streets, but they do want some them
selves. And they ought to have some.
Where are the sprinkling carts that
were going to start out so promptly and
go around so regularly, giving out
streams of blessing? Who or what is
holding back the fiery steeds that are
aching to prance in front of those carts?
1t isn't fair to let the dust continue to
blow freely and fiercely onto and into
part of the good people of New Haven
while those who happen to live on GER
tain favored streets are protected. Let
the watering carts loose and make the
sprinkling benefit as general as it can
be made. The whirling dust on the neg
lected streets is just as offensive and
poisonous as it used to be on the streets
that are being sprinkled.

The feeling caused by the misfortune
of the M. Seward & Son Company does
not decrease, and many are asking if
something cannot be done even now to
mitigate the situation. Meanwhile it is
not pleasant to hear that efforts are be-
ing made by shrewd people in other vii
lagos 20 induce the M. Seward e Son
Company to shake New Haven's dust
off its feet and locate where a little or
big business jar would be welcome
and appreciated. We are told that al
ready two such offers have been re-
ceived and more will probably be made.
We hope that none of them will have
to be accepted. New Haven cannot af-
ford to lose such a concern.

BUFF4LO JONES ENCO UR4GIL.

|. 1t Is not many years ago since mil
lions of buffaloes roamed over the west
ern plains and We're ruthlessly and ex-
travagantly slain for sport or for their
humps Now none roam over those
plains, and there are but few left any
where. 1t is interesting to note that
last effort is to be made by congress to
prevent the total extinction of the buff
falo. The number of animals produced
in captivity is SO small that it is only
matter of time before the species will
have been wiped out entirely The only
herd outside of those controlled in pub
lie parks and geological grounds is own
ed by man in Nebraska, known as
Buffalo Jones. He owns 10 of the ami
mails, among them being number of
females The value of q female buffalo
is phenomenally high, $4,000 being re-
ported as a reasonable price for one.
This is because very few females are
produced, the great percentage of those
born being males. For some years Buff

dresses there is nothing particularly
elaborate, but they have a distinguish

ceptance they are gaining.
Side combs and pompadour are still
used, but they are not fashionable,

the hair is still in condition of untidy
short locks. Hair properly dressed

drawn high on the head, or it may be
rolled high off the face in a French
twist that lifts the hair from tie fore
head and punches it carelessly. Such
an arrangement usually Is becoming,
but it means hair in well cared for
fluffy condition. If your hair is long
enough do not use irons. FriZZy hair
is considered a misfortune. Hair is
still drawn loosely back from the ears,
and often side puffs are encouraged,

suited to their display.

Those who don't know just what the
duty of congressman is, and who also
don't know how much duty congress-
man ought to do to make his renomina-
| ton and reelection sure, can perhaps
learn something from an appeal which
has been made by Henry r. Gibson,
member of congress for the Second
Tennessee district Mr.. Gibson finds
his reelection threatened, and he there
fore asks his constituents to take notice
of what he has done for them and for
his country. He has put through 1888
war claims, amounting to over $780,
900; he put through IS special pension
bills; he had Al men commissioned as
officers in the army by the President;
he had 20 men appointed postmasters:
he had "a new postoffices esta blished;
he made about 10000 calls on the Pen
sion bureau; he sent out 10000 pack
ages of vegetable seeds; he sent out
$1,000 pamphlets and books; he sent out
167 900 copies of his own speeches; he
wrote $1,000 letters to his constituents
In addition he was more regular in at
tending the sessions of Congress and
gave more of his time to the business
of the people and spent less of it in
pleasure and idleness," than anybody
else.

In thinking Of net robes one is usual
of black net sparkling with black
spangles or set thickly with lace fig
ures. This is because the winter saw
so many fine gowns arranged in this
way. Because the fashion for nets
means more than the black sorts. Nets
in bright colors are finely decorative,
and white ones are just as pretty,
more easy to soil and rot bit less
likely to meet destruction by catching
on something and tearing. Their beau
ty when put over white silk Is appar-
ent to everyone. and it is also true
that such dresses make likely the con-
