THE FIR JUST IDEA NOT WET.

We the people of the United States
 are undoubtedly the most civilized be-
 ings on the face of the globe, but we are not much ahead of the people of
 China in at least one important respect.
 It now appears that generations ago the
 Chinese merchants, manufacturers and
 bankers adopted what were substantial | ly trust methods in many of their busi-
 ness organizations. The tea trade in
 northern China is controlled by trust which has come down by descent into the possession of two great families. The banking business in China is anoth- CT instance of this form of combination, and so on through number of the other trades. The control exercised Is quite as exacting as anything attempted in any tendency shown to cut or shade them is resolutely checked by the con- trolling authorities. In one respect the trusts in China appear to be more be- neficent than those which have been formed with us, in that they insist on entire honesty in dealings among their own members. When, for example, combination controls a certain class of trade it also seeks, in addition to ar ranging basis of prices, to prevent the interested dealers from overcharging or from supplying unsuitable wares. The banking trust, while not attempting to dictate what loans shall be made, takes upon itself to see that individual bank CTS do not act unwisely in the expansion of credit, and in this way bring dis credit upon the system as a whole.
 Why should the spirit of the United States mortal be proud when he is only initiating in his business methods the slant-eyed yellow man who is not civil ized enough to tuck his shirt into his trousers?

thelr hair carelessly disposed about the face and drawn to high knot atop the head, there is talk of return of the Madam de Maintenon coiffure This will bring down the locks to curve about temples and cheeks in, let us hope, be- coming ringlets. Something is sure to happen to make women cut their hair now that it has grown long and even. Women with whom time and money are a-plenty give much attention to their hair. One week it is washed, the next it is singed, then it is brushed and next it is treated with tonic or again crush ed After q few months of such care the hair besomes shining, pliable and greatly improved in color. Hair thor oughly washed, dried and immediately waved will keep it's wave for two weeks. A late notion is to confine the freshly dried hair in q loose silk mob-cap lined with cheese cloth. A layer of cotton between cheese cloth and silk is thick with violet sachet. An hours wear suf- fees to impart to the hair a delicate perfume. The same cap may be donned at night. Such caps may be bought made and perfumed, but it is much cheaper to make them, and the home made ones are sure to be prettier.

LESS SPEED, BUT MORE COMFORT.

LESS SPEED, BUT MORE COMFORT. It is interesting to notice that just at this time when everybody seems to be trying to get everywhere as fast as possible there is an idea in an import ant quarter that a decrease in speed with an increase in comfort and safety will suit enough travellers to make profitable the putting of the idea into mammoth twin passenger ships design ed for the International Navigation company, which operates the American and Red Star lines, is being laid at Cramps yard in Philadelphia. When finished the vessel will be the largest ever built in the western hemisphere. The laying of the keel of the other ship will follow soon. These new transat- lantic liners are to be of rather sur prisng type, which their builders say is called for by the changing demands of ocean travel. They will be nearly 600 feet long, rating at about l2,50O tons. Their engines will be something like 1000 or 14,000 horse power, but will be capable of driving the vessel at only twelve to fifteen-knot rate. This great sacrifice of speed will be made with view to adding to the comfort of the passengers. It is expected that these ships will take from ten to twelve days for the ocean passage, but with their great length and broad bilge- keels, it is claimed that they will ride far easier than the narrower and hard driven ocean liners that try for records on every passage.
 We believe this plan will work well. There are many who want 9 longer sea

 Spring millinery employs fewer flow CTS and many more feathers than are usual. Hats whose chief trimming con sists of flowers are not numerous, so often do a plentiful supply of foliage and some other decoration accompany the bloom. Tulle hats often show a few blossoms, but usually these are banked inconspicuously in the tulle folds. Aig- rettes and plumes are plentiful and all ways are placed showily. The aigrette shown in this picture was a perky bit of whiteness, and plumes are disposed quite as assertively. Black laced horse hair and silver spangled tulle were the hats materials. Spangles promise to be as abundant on the forthcoming headgear as they were last winter on gowns. They give hat rich look and showiness is added when feathers are included in the trimming.

Some interesting experiments have re- gently been carried on in the University of Genoa with a view to observing the temperature of the animal body during fasting and the rate of assimilation of carbohydrates. The experiments dem onstrated the efficacy of sugar in rais- ing the temperature of an animal which had fallen during fasting. If sugar be administered 1t will cause rapid rise of temperature during the first ten or fifteen minutes, and in one or two hours the temperature will reach maximum, which will be sustained for a period of time depending on the amount of the sugar. This effect is said to be most marked after long fast, when the tenn
 perature is the lowest. Bread has a somewhat opposite effect, as the sugar is more readily assimilated by starv
 ing animal After bread is given the temperature will rise, but more slowly than with sugar, and the rise is most rapid for animals whose period of star yation has been short and their temper ature not too low. Professor Masso, who has made these experiments, states that with sugar he has succeeded in re-

GOLD MINERS ANXIOUS.
Long Delay in Getting African Mines
to Work.

New York. Oct. 15.-General Buffers
impending return from South Africa is
understood to be due to a rather uneX-
pected call on his services in r~eorganizing
the army service corps. says the London
correspondent of the Tribune.
His experience in South Africa of the
nan defects of the existing organiza-
ton had led to the authorities asking him
to put the system under which the corps
conducts its work on a proper footing.
1t is said Lord Kitchener will be given
the task of maintaining order in the
Transvaal and Orange River colony.
The South African mining companies
have been bitterly disappointed by the
delay in ending the military campaign.
They sent their engineers and agents to
Cape Town when Pretoria was occupied
and there they have remained in idlenes
more han a month. A dozen engineers,
representing the largest interests have
been allowed to go to johannesburg and
report on the condition of the plants;
pumping operations have not been re-
sumed and miners and natives cannot be
employed until the railways are prepared
to carry coal and supplies on a large
scale. The railways barely suffice for the
needs of the army, and it is not believed
that the mines can be operated with eff
cheney before the end Of six months.
1t may be twelve months before returns
are received from the immense mass Of
capital invested in the Transvaal.

RAILROADS UNDECIDED.
Coal Carrying Roads Will Decide
Strike Situation.

New York. Oct. 15.-Whether or not
the demand made by the miners will
be granted by the operators was a ques-
ton upon which definite opinion was
not obtainable in this city yesterday. Eff
forts We're made to see W.. F. Truesdale,
president of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& WESTERN; E. B. Thomas, president of
the Erie, and Alfred Walter, president
of the Lehigh Valley, but reporters who
visited their homes were informed that
all three of them were out Of town.
The absence of all three gentlemen from
the city on the same day led to the
presumption that they had been called
away by important business. Officials
of the companies who were seen pro-
fessed to lave no knowledge of the hold
ing of any meeting by the heads of the
coal carrying railroads. The three COM
panies referred to will be largely con-
cerned in any decision that MAJ be
reached as to the acceptance or refusal
of the terms formulated by the strikers.
Another dominant factor in the delibera-
tions of the operators who control the
situation would be r.. M. Oliphant, presi-
dent of the Delaware and Hudson Coal
company. but he is lying seriously i'll at
his home in this city and can take no
part in the controversy. Some individual

Russian Who Could Not Bring His
Demented Child Over.

New York, Oct. 15.-S. NJ. Milne, a
Philadelphia shoemaker sent to Russia
for his wife and five children. They ar
rived at Ellis Island several days ago
and were detained because one of the
children, a girl, eight years old, was an
imbecile. The law prohibits absolutely
the admittance OF an insane person or
an idiot into this country.
A brother of the woman, named
Hodes. of Youngstown, Ohio, saw as
sistant secretary of the treasury, Tay-
lor, and arranged that Milne should take
the idiot child back to Russia, while the
rest Of the family should land.
Assistant Secretary Taylor said that
under no circumstances could the child
De brought into this country. If the
father was able to give bond to the
amount of 81, 900. 900 that the child would
/ be well taken care of and that it would
never become a public charge. it would
have no effect, as the law makes no pro-
visions for the entering of idiots.

nal men reported that the third column
was moving into position. An hour later
the three columns marched into Tilui, I'M
opposed, finding an officer and eight men
of the Bengal Lancers had entered the
city two hours before and taken possess
sion without firing a hot. Tilui was
practically deserted. 1t was plainly APP
parent that the Boxers la had ample
warning of THE expedition and had sue
ceeded in removing all guns and NUM-
tons.
Shortly before dark the Japanese on

part of the town, while the clusters of
small houses on the outskirts were
burned by the Sikhs. AT daybreak on
the morning of the 18th, he troops

hind to finish the destruction of Tilui.
This Was accomplished in a most thor

ing city being visible in Tien Tsin.

operators who were interviewed said
they had no idea what action would be
taken. but all would depend on the coal
carrying roads who controlled the situ-
alton. More than one of the Independent
operators expressed the opinion that the
railroads would not agree to arbitrate,
inasmuch as such al arrangement would
be one-sided in face of the readiness
manifested by the men as shown b. the
action Of the Markle employees to arb
trate.
Nor do I think" one of the indie
pendent operators said in discussing the
situation, that the mine owners will
consent to bind themselves to pay SO
large an increase until April I. when
the warm weather and the falling OF
in the demand for coal, which always
occurs in the spring, might very greatly
reduce prices.
While 1 do not think that the de-
mand to abolish the sliding scale would
IN itself be rejected by the operators,
II that had been the only additional
demand I am inclined to think the an
swer of the railroads to the men will
be that they have made their final offer
and will not so beyond it. and that the
men must either be contented with the
present proffered advance of 10 per cent
IN wages or remain idle

Bank Embezzler Schneider and His
Lady Friend.

New York, Oct. 15.-According to the

upon whom it is alleged VIM. Schneider,

lavished his money, stolen from the
bank, had eluded the vigilance of the de-
t~ectives who We're watching her and
gone to parts unknown. She left the flat
of Alma Templeton in West 5lst street
in the small hours of Sunday morning
in diguise, according to this account.
But Miss Templeton, who is an intimate
friend of Mrs. Hart, said that Mrs. Hart
had gone to the Tennessee mountains to
ecOve from the shock. When recuper-
ated, Miss Templeton said, Mrs. Hart
would go to a certain wealthy grand
father in Bristol. Conn. Miss Temple
ton also said that Mrs. Hart asked
Schneider where he got so much money
and his answer was that he had in
herited $50, 900 from his grandfather, and
had doubled that through successful
speculation with a we'll known Wall
street firm, which he named.

CHILE IS VERY TOUCHY.

Diary Question Is Raised.

New York, Oct. 15.-Before finally ac-
cepting the invitation of Mexico to par
ticipate in the Pan-American conference
to be held next year in the city of
Mexico, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Herald, Chile has suggested
the formation OF a definite programme
setting forth the business the conference
shall discuss
Chile's action is based upon her I'M
willingness to permit any attempt on the
part of either Peru or Bolivia to precipi-
tate into the discussion of the
the question of the Tacna and africa
dispute.
In the congress held ten years ago
this dispute was brought UP, but lille
withdrew from the discussion and no ac-
ton was taken. Chile has repeatedly de-
clared its adherence to the principle of
arbitration, and will not submit to a
reference of a possible treaty to the con-
gress until the terms of the treaty pro-
vide that it is not retroactive.
