HAIR CoMBING IN PUBLIC
One Habit Of American Women That
Surprises Foreigners.
New York SIM


"It is the most extraordinary thing
the way you women over here comb
your hair at the theaters," exclaimed
a foreigner. i've just been watching
that girl over there
She has taken every comb out Of
her hair, run it up the back of her
head several times and then replaced
it. Now she is patting her hair to
see that 1T is all as she wishes it to be.
I've seen lots of girls over here go
thru the performance. Rather shock
ing, when you come to think of it.
Look at this one-she's going to do the
same thing"
1t was very fuzzy blonde head that
was being combed this time. A good
many sweeps of the big side comb
were needed to bring together the lit
tie frowsy curls that had sprung their
confines and were hanging down from
the pompadour. .
The girls gestures in arranging her
hair were not in the least furtive.
They were as deliberate as tho she
were standing before the bureau at
home.
Cant see exactly how it ever
started, murmured the Ameri-
can whose attention had been
ans action. Il never do it myself,
but I'm afraid that I have seen so
| many girls do it that I have become
hardened to the sight.
Il remember an American woman's
look of disgust when she saw
Frenchman comb his mustache in
public. That's pretty bad, too; but
one expects daintiness and charm from
women, and this energetic combing
and arrangement Of hair in public
! places is extremely vulgar"

Fergus, Fails. Mimi, July "a
triple tragedy was narrowly averted
here today, a. little daughter of An

Mrs. Raymond, plunged in to save
them, and she, too, went under ana

The insurance adjusters allowed the
full amount of insurance carried by
the district on the high school build
ing, the amount being $2O,lOO. The
impression is gaining ground that the
fire was Of incendiary origin and that
whoever set it also disabled the fire
apparatus.
Owing to the washout Of the dam,
which furnished power for the water
works, it is impossible to get ruiz
pressure from this source, and the
city has been depending to some ex-
tent on the fire engine. When the
engine was started the morning or the
fire, a good-sized hole appeared IN
the suction pipe, making it useless. 1t
was supposed at first that the pipe
had burst, but a careful examination
shows that the hole had been made
with pickax taken from the nook
and ladder wagon.
Two gangs of Syrian. peddlers had

MINISTER'S GARB
Was Bluff and Concealed Profess
sionaI Gambler.

SlOnal Gambler.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The reformed gambler was in
reminiscent mood, and, finding the
ears Of 'Whirl' writer wide open, he
began: 1T was down on the lower
Mississippi river in the early COS, and
the boys in the crowd were laying low
to catch some one with plenty Of the
yellow. We had started quiet little
game among ourselves, hoping to
draw some one on, but somehow no
one was particularly interested except
ing quiet old preacher, who always
smiled loudly when somebody won.
Finally we persuaded him to take
hand in the game, thinking probably
he had a few hundred that he wanted
to risk Well, we let him win the first
hand or two, to encourage him trifle,
and then we proposed to make short
work of him. He could handle the
pasteboards pretty well, and won Ia
couple Of times, and then alternated,
winning and losing. I noticed, how
less than he won. To make a long
story short, we played cards all night,
hoping against hope that the preach
er's luck would desert him, but some
how his luck stayed as long as he did.
AS the dawn was appearing in the east
we gradually got wise to the fact that
the preacher was as crafty as the rest
of us.
I'VE played until there wasn't dol
lar in the crowd, the meek-looking
dominic had won every cent, and we
were wrathy. tell you we were a
sorry-looking crowd that left the
steamer that morning, kicking our
selves that preacher bested us.
However, 1t wasn't so bad when we
learned the makeup was a disguise,
the sanctimonious air was worn by
one of the most expert gamblers Of the
south, who had boarded the steamer
on purpose to get in the game"

JUNE LUMBER SHIPMENTS
Heavy Business Handled at Head Of
Lakes Ports.

DULUTH. MINN.-Iumber ship
ments keep up heavily. For June
they were 61,S21,OO0 feet from the
head of the lakes, Of which $780,
900 feet were from Duluth, 3,236,0O0
from Two Harbors and 100000 from
Superior. These are the port figures,
and, tho not exact, are approximately
single shipped thru Superior and
1000 tons thru Duluth, while the re-
ceipts of logs, ties and poles from
outside this customs district was
1000, 900 feet. Lumber ships are not
so badly punched. as a while ago, and
the trade moves along very quietly.
Ten sawmills are operating on the
harbor front here, saving about
100000 feet a week; year. ago
there were twelve, and they made rs
per cent more. One of the ten closes
tonight for the season and three 9TH
ers will shut down at various times
between now and Sept. Is. The rest
will cut days only to the close of the
year. The cut Of the year, therefore,
will be far less than that Of 1903.
The Clark-Jackson and Peyton,
KimbalI & Barber mills, which were
saving for time last year, tho not
the full summer, have not done a
thing this year and will not. Neither
is likely ever to run again. What Is
to become of the st. Louis mill after
it closes down this week is not known,
for Mr.. Chaplin has not made UP his
mind as to the future. 1t may be
wrecked. .l
The plans of the American Lumber
company, which has had a large lum-
ber-dressing establishment at West
Duluth, in buildings Of the old car
works there, are yet undecided. The
company may have to move out, as
the property is needed for other pur-
poses soon, and where it is to go has
not been determined. Every effort Is
being made at West Duluth and up
town to keep the company's plant
near it's present site.

INDIANS IN TOM-TOM DANCE
Two Hundred at Scion Springs
Whites in the Mystic Ring.

SUPERIOR, WIS.-The Indians did
not get started with their pow-wow at
Scion Springs last evening, and today
is really the opening day of the main
festivities. There were plenty of In
dams here on time yesterday, but in
Difference to the presence of a priest,
the tom-tom dancing was INDUCED in
only to a slight extent.
It is not the intent of the braves and
squaWs to carry on an unseemly pro-
gram of hilarity, but they will have
the good old-fashioned pow-wow
medicine dance with all the frills.
One of the first dances will be the
ilarly to the dance of the braves ex-
cept that the women are the man
ayers. The dancing floor" consists
Of plot of green sward, the middle
of which is inclosed by an improvised
wire fence, making a circle about
twenty feet in diameter. Inside this
the drummers are seated. Outside
the wire fence is a row Of benches
f1anked by evergreen trees. Around
the circle are seated or standing the
spectators and those participating and
seeing.
IF one is popular young brave he
is pretty likely to be invited early in
the game. A young squaw approaches
him and gives him present, inviting
him to dance with her. OF course he
cannot refuse. He goes into the inner
circle and begins to hop with the
others. Every dancer looks out for
himself, and the one that stays by it
the longest is the greatest in the eyes
of the people. When one decides to
take breathing spell and join the cir
Gle CT spectators, he simply stops yell
ing and hopping around the circle,
steps out and presents his fair partner
with some present.
Many pale-face braves and squaws
are likely to be found in the charmed
circle if they join the group of spec
tators. When pretty, young sduaw
! invites gallant white man to dance,
there is no such thought as refusing
her invitation. Neither must the
white girls snub the Indian braves.
| AS many pale-face visitors are flock
ing here today, it is expected that the
dances tonight and tomorrow will see
some amusing sights.
! New recruits today made the total
number of Indians at the Springs
about 200.

NOVEL AIRsHIP
Uses Kites and Will get Its Fuel
From the Atmosphere.
New York World.

The renewed interest in aerial navi-
the arrival of Santos-Dumont and his
airsllip, the new No. 7, has developed
the fact that at Coney Island there is
prospector in aerial possibility in the
person Of Rudolph Dressler a cobbler,
who has evolved an airship out Of the
Eddy kites.
The Dressler ship has been entered
in the st. Louis contest, and the in
ventor, not unlike all other aerilists,
declares that he will win the first
prize. -
The Dressler ship is oddly construct
ed. It consists Of two kites, 16x1S feet
long respectively, the longer one car
rying the shorter. These kites have,
according to Dressler, a lifting capac-
ity of 1,270 pounds. To the under side
of the lower kite is attached a harness
which carries a basket containing the
operator, motor and steering appara-
tus.
The motor is a novelty. It is of five
horsepower, weighs but seventy-five
pounds, and Dressler says it takes it's
fuel from the air. By what principle
this fuel generation is accomplished is
one of the secret claims Of Dressler
The motor is used in a dual capacity
that of driving the propeller for
ward, and again Of forcing the lifting
power by creating a resistance against
the kites. The ship gathers it's buoy
ancy from two aeroplanes fastened
horizontally to it's sides. The planes
are designed also to serve as para
chutes in the event of accident during
fight.
The steering gear is also novel. 1t
consists of three planes, one Of which
is vertical, all being under full control
| of the operator, who can veer them at
| will.
Whether the Dressler ship will
prove to be of any value remains to be
seen, but the claims of the inventor

The propeller is much the same ir
construction as those used by Santos.

CAPITAL REMOVAL DEBATE
Three Thousand Hear the Arguments

CANTON, S. D.--Three thousand
ventured thru mud and the rain here
yesterday afternoon to hear a joint
debate between the forces of Pierre
and Mitchell on the capital removal
question at the auditorium Of the Can
ton Chautauqua assembly. Ten large
passenger coaches full came from
Mitchell.
The speakers were G. E. DeLand
and E. w. Caldwell of Pierre, repre-
senting that city, and O.. L. Bronson
Of Mitchell supported by N. P. Brom-
ley Of Redfeld representing Mitchell.
Each occupied thirty minutes
in presenting his argument, and
Mr.. Bromley closed the debate
with a ten-minute address. Each
speaker was greeted with almost deaf
ening applause at frequent points Of
his address, and the debate has greatly
increased the agitation on the capital
question in this locality.

If Jacques Lebaudy fails to make
money out of his job as Emperor Of

ual in Europe to-day.
Dissatisfied with the slowness Of the
that he will export stations and mares
from England to Sahara for inter-
breeding with camels, expecting to
found a new species of animals with
the speed of the horse and the sobrie-
ty and endurance of the camel.
Maitre Deglise, who has been his
lawyer, has been replaced by Maitre
Ratier, the senator from Lindre, and
a government supporter Deglise was
dismissed because he refused to ac-
cord to Lebaudy his ridiculous titles
in preparing the papers in his cases
that are coming before the courts.
French legal etiquette, however, forbids
Ratier to accept the position Of the
"emperor's' legal adviser until in-

at the appearance of a publication
called Sahae, purporting to be the first
number Of the "emperor's" new Off

of decadence, making necessary his
founding of a new domain, and also
declaring Jacques, intention. thru the
imperial procurator of Troja, to be-.
gin actions against Ministers Pellatan

Anaconda, Mont, July 9.-Phil

treasure chest today while digging in

In the box was a letter written on a

be almost illegible. A few words
written in a large hand were de-

the chest contained a secret Of greater
