When asked if he considered there was
more danger from the beard than from
the hair he replied in the affirmative.
The peculiar location of the beard places

TO catch the germs of disease than Is
the case with the hair. All the air one
breathes must first be sifted through the
beard, and the germs will lodge there

@Our Weekly New York Fashion Letter =

New York, February 49,
There is no need to ask this spring whether
or not the average woman is devoted to laces
furbelows and flowers, for woman herself has
answered the question by her eager rush to
don lacy hats, trimmed with flowers, and to
adorn her street gowns with lace In some
fashion or other. This is only one OF the
indications that the season is to be one OF
laces and floral garniture Parasols even
this early show applications OF lace, and
modistes say that women will adern their
parasols to match their gowns. This is made
more possible than it has been heretofore
by the world Of designs which the laces
present.
Of course, the real laces will take front
rank wherever 1t Is possible to have them
Real laces belong to the styles that are In
vogue. exactly as real paintings do to pala-
tial residences. Real Point Point and
Duchesse combined, Ducheese alone and
Valenciennes are sure to be the most popu-
lar laces OF tbs season. The combination of
Duchesse with Point shows wonderfully ar
tstic design. In some OF them the upper
arches Of the band are made Of the Duchesse
and Rose Point droops like 4 pendant from
the joining Of the arches below. The effect Ia
surprisingly artistic, and they are the new
eat thing in designs. Innumerable other de-
signs are shown, an arran cement Of diamonds
being among the favorites. BY the way these
laces are SO designed that they may be used
as separate appliques, being cut apart to suit
the wearer's taste.
Every woman has not the means to buy
real laces, and in many cases the limitations
arc to be preferred for some varieties of goods
and for common wear. All sorts Of laces are

with a disastrous defeat on the 8th

commanded by General Delarey,
who captured Gen. Methuen and

SUGAR FIGHT.

Sugar has again received a blow
in the house of its supposed friends.
The fifth and last caucus of the Re
publicans by vote Of 50 to 81 IN
structed the committee Of Ways
and Means to report a bill reducing
the tariff on Cuban sugar 20 lper
cent for a period of two years, end
ing December 1903.
BY this action the administration
and Republicans have broken faith
with the domestic sugar producers,
Notwithstanding the most urgent
appeals aud bitter opposition OF
those engaged in the production of
sugar. The platform Of the Repnb-
lican party adopted at st. Louis,
distinctly and specifically promised
support and protection to the sugar
industry. 1t would seem that
these promises are not to be kept
when the interests of the Sugar
Trust and the Land 4 Planting syn
dicates of Cuba demand their repu-
diation.
1t is barely possible that the
sugar people will combine with the
Democrats in the House and Senate
to defeat this measure, but there
are Democrats who would rather
see this assault on the protection
wall, for in the event of its carry
ing, there will be much bitterness
and dissatisfaction among the beet
sugar men, who will be heard from
next fall, when the Congressional
elections are on, and possibly when
the farmers will again be appealed
to vote for congressman who have
shown so little consideration to the
farmers of the west. 1t is possible
that this will be burning question
in several western states and may
cost the Republicans the next
House, which is devoutly wished.
Democrats can afford to look on
with equanimity on this assault on
the principle of protection.

A Berlin dispatch to the New
York Herald says: Statistics gath
cred aud published by the seamen S
bureaus of Hamburg and Bremen,
of desertions from the German
merchant marine, show that more
seamen deserted German vessels at
New York than at any other port.
One thousand two hundred and
sixty-four men deserted at New
York during the year 1901, while
the total assertions from the mer-
chant marine amounted to 2,7O4.
Two hundred and forty-four Ger
man sailors deserted at Baltimore.
These heavy assertions at Ameri-
can ports are explained by the fact
that men who desire to emigrate
cheaply take service on vessels
bound to the United States and
then desert.

One of the toughest questions
now before Congress is presented
in a bill that endeavers to prevent
throughout the nation the competi-
ton Of convict labor with free la
Dor. This bill is backed by the
labor organizations and is assured
of a very strong support. While
a majority Of States already have
laws which prohibit articles made
by their own convicts from coming
in competition with the goods manu-
featured by the free labor in those
States, there is no law that pre-
vents the free labor goods of one
State from being invaded and CON-
peted against by the convict made
goods of another State.--Atlnnta
