Ransom Money Offered Back.

Chicago, Feb. BE. A. Undahy, the
Omaha packer whose son was kidnapped
to secure reward OF $4,000, is in re-
ceipt of an anonymous letter declaring
thot upon his assurance that the kid.
napers will not be punished, oil but
$1,000 of the ransom money will be re-
turned to him. The letter was mailed
at Waukegan, ILL.,, yesterday and sent
to Omaha. Mr.. Cudahy was in Chica-
go today and received q transcript of
the letter by telegraph.
II do not know whether the letter is
authentic or hoax" said Mr.. Cudahy
to reporter. 81 will pay no attention
to it, and certainly have no intention
of letting up on these men. The writer
or writers of the letter directed me, if
agreeable to their proposition, to let
me know by means of advertisements

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tioual remedies, Deafness is caused by an in

Eustaehin Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rnmbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;

NOT SEND TROOPS
 TO PHILIPPINES
CABINET DECIDES THERE IS NO OCCASION TO SEND AT ONCE REGIMENTS SELECTED FOR SERVICE LAST WEEK.

Washington, October 2o.-A considerable part of the cabinet meeting today was devoted to consideration of the military situation in the Philippines. The meet ing was attended by all of the members of the cabinet and all of them partici- pated in the discussion of the Philippine discussion. The subject was brought to the attention of the President and cab met by Secretary Root.
 The conditions in the Island of Samar, where the United States troops suffered the most severe check they have en- countered yet in the Philippines in the massacre of almost the entire company of Company c, Ninth Infantry, had led the war department to consider the pro- priety of stopping for the time being the reductions which were going on in the Philippine army through the discharge of thousands of enliste men whose terms are expiring. However, after hearing Sec retary Roots report and discussing the situation thoroughly, the cabinet decided there was no present occasion to suspend the reduction in the United States mili- tary forces in the Philippines. The orig inal policy, however, will prevail. and 1t will not be necessary, it is understood, to send to tie Philippines at once the half-dozen regiments selected for the ser vice last week. Secretary Root said that the sporadic outbreaks at isolated points in the islands would be dealt with prop erly as they arose and additional troops to meet the emergencies scarcely would be needed.

HINTS ON STYLISH
 OPERA COIFFURES

bles birds nest. This is securely fas- tened with two dozen hair pins and some where near Is pinned a little gauzy look ing affair which Is called an opera hat. They are about the size and shape of large butterfly, and are considered quite cute. On the bill of fare that style of hair dressing is marked table d'hote, which means that you get it all together. The next number on the programme Is said to be more stylish and the hirshute artists regard it as prettier This time the hair is parted in the middle like football players and the two sides swing down towards the ears. There 1t Is caught up with pins and allowed to wait while the hair dresser goes to work on the southern end of the head. The long part of the hair is again rolled up like a rope and twisted into something like the Psyche knot, except it is turned up more perpendiculariy and mashed down. The little butterfly is then pinned on and m'- lady Is ready for "ze operar.'
 It must Sbe clearly understood that the society woman not only gets the benefit of the after effect, but during the opera tion she gets her moneys worth by being
 
 allowed to look into the mirror and watch the French girl hold pins in her mouth. The haid dresser also furnishes an elab- crate explanation of what she is doing and tells her patron what her previous customer had on and in detail what the other women are going to wear on the eventful night. This is not mentioned on the bill of fare, but is thrown in as lagni- appe.
 The artists have everything ready and expect a land office business as soon as society "gets next to the fact that styl- ish coiffures cut the principal figure at the opera. Their st ock consists of things of which only women are supposed to know the names. However 1t has been definitely given out that consignment of rats and hairpins are here and are looking for jobs.

JOHN MOST GETS 4 STAY OF SENTENCE Published Article in an Anarch-
 iSt Paper SENTENCED TO 12 MONTHS Opinion of Justice Mclean Is That Defendants Expression Had
 Not Worked Injury to
 Any Individual.
SENTENCED TO 12 MONTHS

New York, October 29.-Justice Mclean, in the Supreme Court today granted certificate of reasonable doubt in the case of John Most. editor of the Freiheit, an- archist paper, in order to stop his sen tence of twelve months Imprisonment for the publication of an article entitled Murder vs. Murder" which appeared on the day of President McKinley's assas- sination.
 Justice Mclean says the only proof to support the judgment is that Most pur- Joined an article, expressing certain sem timents, written by another half a cen tury ago. and published as his own '1n paper professedly of some circulation, but which circulation Is shown by the sale of but a single copy, that purchased by the police probably for the purpose of prosecution. He further says that it may be doubted reasonably whether the | judgment, even with that support, should stand, as plagiarism is not a criminal offense under -ne laws of the United | States"
 Tt is not shown" says Justice Me- Lean, that the defendants expression of borrowed sentiment has worked injury to any individual by falsifying any fact,
 
 his acts were attended with circuTn- stances likely to disturb or endanger the public peace or health" The justice says also the contention that the publication has openly outraged public decency, rests solely upon the language of the article itself, and that | the indecency repressed by the law re- lates rather to action and words which nature and propriety require to be con cealed and suppressed, and to public dis play, sale and exhibition of evil books CT prints.
 ''The indecorum of this pilfered screcd," says Judge Mclean, Ifs of another sort. He prates of humanity, immortality and morality, reason and conscience, but car- ries no suggestion of the obscene"
 The utterances, Judge Mclean says, do not come within the meaning of the sec- tion of the code under which Most was prosecuted.

 A troupe of these professional and tech nical hair fixers have arrived as van guard to ''ze grand operar company" and are already displaying shingles so- liciting the patronage of Birmingham so- ciety. They argue that when society as- sembles en masse to hear the grand opera the arrangement of the hair creates more comment than all the rest of their get up. So they have come all the way from the east to put on the necessary frills, furbelows, a la bordelaises. butter flies, etc., that society demands
 Prices range all the way from s1 to s1O, but the bill of charges is kept secret, and no one except the women know ex- actly what can be gotten for the dollar. It is said there is something used in dressing the hair which is called a rat" and the French girl corroborates this statement and adds that the rodents mentioned 'causy ze puff" That is. the rat is laid on the top of the head and the front end of the curls are wrapped around it forming a big bump or roll about the size of a mans arm. This bump is technically called pompadour. and 1t is alleged produces a very charm ing Filipino effect. Aguinaldo is credit ed with originating the idea, but he ne- glected to secure the copyright.

would have done so If he had not found the Spaniards there.
 Admiral Schley said that he considered that his blockade of Santiago had begun on May 2S and then Captain Lemly ask ed:
 Do you consider that in commencing your blockade then you complied with the order received on the 23d and acted with all dispatches as required by that order?"
 ''In view of the information had when I arrived off the port, yes."
 The witness said he had pursued the same plan as to feigning disorder at Sam tiago as at Cienfuegos. He thought he had informed Captain Cook of his plan, but he did not recall whether he had spoken about it to the commanders of other vessels.
 Captain Lemly then asked: 'What were the orders to the deck officers of the Brooklyn and the other ships of the squadron as to the distance on each side of the Morro they were to steam during the night of the Santiago blockade?"
 T think that was outlined in the fact that the Brooklyn led"
 Were you more than four miles from the Morro at night?"
 We may have been perhaps four and a half or five miles. We were always nearer at night than during the day time."
 Did you discuss with any of your cap- tains your plan of battle as outlined in your evidence in chief and the manner of changing from column to line of battle2'
 T do not really remember the full ex- tent of the discussion, but it was a gen. eral explanation of the plan. Why say that is that Captain Evans said to me: Then you propose to charge into the en- trance?' and that would lead me to infer there must have been some explanation because that was the purpose. If we were in column or line of battle before the harbor In line directly for them and another wheel would bring us east or west if they turned east or west, that oc- cured to me as a very facile and mobile movement. My squadron was small and had to keep 1t together as a unit.''
