DENVER. Colo, September 5.-The spe-
the National Guard ordered to Cripple Creek
yesterday by Governor Peabody in connec-
ton with the strike of the miners in that
district arrived at Gillett at 2 o'clock this
morning. There was an idea that troops
would not attempt to enter the camp until
daylight.
Since the start from Denver Adjutant
General Sherman Bell has perfected plans
for the mobilization of the entire state mill
tia, numbering 1,6O0, should he wish to do
SO. An arsenal will be established and
within twenty-four hours 100000 rounds Of
ammunition will be collected in the gold
camp. When asked whether he anticipated
any serious trouble. Gen. Bell said:
Il do not know what we will meet with,
but 1 shall be prepared for anything that
may turn up"
Interference Possible
Rurnors that an attempt would be made
to interfere with the progress of the troops
toward Cripple Creek caused Gen. Bell to
change the route of travel from the Short
Line road to the Colorado Midland. So
perfect were the arrangements that none
of his personal staff knew of the generals
intentions until they were aboard the train
leaving Colorado Springs. Prior to the de-
parture of the main body of the troops
from Colorado Springs q special bearing

Detachments from this company were

and left to guard them until the several

The directions for transforming pin

which has been bustling around to get

quired. AS in Pottsville, it Is often
found difficult to get all the help re.
quired, and it has been discovered
that these particular industries, while
very excellent features in any COM
munity, are not very effective as town
builders.
They do not bring new families to
settle In the town, because they do
not afford employment for the head
Of the family. An industry that re-
quires the labor of men, and can give
employment to men, is certain to
bring new families into the commune
ty, adding to the population and pro-
noting business. The city gets a sub
stantial growth in that way which Is
impossible to derive from the estab-
lishment Of light industries. These
may serve the excellent purpose Of
furnishing employment for all the
girls and women of the vicinity who
want employment but they do not
bring more. Neither girls nor women
who seek employment in mills usually
go away from home for it.
1t is for this reason, that some of the
towns of the interior that have ex-
pended a great deal Of energy in pro-
noting various industries do not ap-
pear to grow in the proportion they
should. The kind of industries they
have secured, while excellent and Civ
ing employment to many residents Of
the town, does not bring additional
population from elsewhere. One es-
tablishment that would require the
services Of few hundred men would
be worth dozen such as town
builder. This has been well enough
understood in some places for a long
time; it Is being learned in others by
little experience.

EVOLUTION OF THE RAZOR AND eEARD,

Ii any writer on the history of civili,
cation should ever undertake to write
history of the beard, he will have
to record the fact that a majority of
the peoples were beardless.
Just as the savages carefully remove
every bit of hair from their faces,
either by shaving or by pulling the
hairs out by their roots, the civilized ma.
tons considered it the proper thing
to be beardless. The ancient Egyp-
tlans, Greeks and Romans looked with
contempt upon the barbarians, who al
lowed their hair and boards to grow
unrestrained and believed that only
perfectly smooth face was proper
ana d1gnitied for an educated man.
only In rare cases an Egyptian would
allow two tufts Of hair to grow on
his chin, and the Greeks and Romans
were so radical in their duties on the
subject that they even had their eve
broWs shaved off, considering them
superHuous and contrary to their ideas
OF beauty. The Egyptians removed
the hair from their faces with the same
primitive stone knives which the Kaf-
Hrs of South Africa use to the present
Gay. The Greeks used sickleshaned
knives, sometimes made of precious
metals for the same purpose. Opjn-
ions on the beard question were diyid-

POST BOXES IN STREET CARS,


Every Car in Washington Is to Be n
Moving Letter Box.
A plan for converting every street
car in Washington into a moving let
ter box has been submitted to the
first assistant postmaster general from
the office Of the superintendent of free
delivery. The project was advanced to
the department by George B. McAllis-
ter OF Baltimore, who Is the inventor,
and was referred by Postmaster Cen
eral Payne to special commission Of
his subordinates about October LIST.
That commission has now completed
Its report and transmitted it to Mr..
Wynne, who, as first assistant post
master general, supervises all the fea-
lures of mail delivery and collection.
BY a vote of the commission If ia
proposed that the plan shall first be
tried in Washington, where the Off
Gals Of the department can observe
1t in practical operation, reports the
Washington Star. 1t is thought this
course may be followed within the
ensuing six months.
Mr.. McAllister's device, as manifest
ed in models submitted to the depart
ment, consists of waterproof drop let
ter Contrivances which are to be so
built in the sides of the street cars
that letters may be readily dropped
into them while the car are passing
crossings. The mouths of the recen-
tacles will be perfectly open to admit
Of the free dropping of letter into
them and adequate provision will be
made for preventing rain or snow
from finding its way into the letter
compartments. The plan includes the
transferring of the mail from car lines
not directly connecting with the post
office to one or more lines making this
connection, and a variety of Ingenious
mechanical arrangements is provided
for doing this in periods of time rang
ing from three and four to five and sew
en- seconds.
