SHAVING IS ANCIENT.

aH N M 5 a VI A s
 The CmatOm Was Probably Followed
 In Prehistoric Ts4u~s.
 It is not improbable that prehistoric man shaved, for curiously shaped shells and Hint flakes have been dis covered which have been supposed to be very ancient razors. In remote parts of China men have their chins scraped, without water or soap, by instruments very similar to these, and the men of tho stone age would most likely find out at very early stage that to leave hair upon ttetr face was to give use ful handi@ to their enemies
 That, i, deed, was the reason why Alexander the Great compelled his sol diers to shave, and his order is among the earliest definite instances of shaw ing upon record, although there can be no question that the practice existed long before his day.
 The oldest Egyptian sculptures show some men clean shaven, and others partially so, with curled boards. It is recorded in Genesis that Joseph, when he went from prison to the presence of Pharaoh, about 15oo B. O., shaved himself and changed hls raiment."

AFRAID OF U. MORGAN.
Art Critic Lenhal Says This Country Getting Too Many
 Art Treasures He Wants Internat ional Action to Prevent It.


 Berlin, Dec 12.-The election of J. Pierpont Morgan to be president of the board of trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art at New York has caused siegfried Lilienthal, one of the best known art critics in Berlin to see in this increased danger of the United States stripping Europe of her art treasures and he has begun an agita tion for international action to prevent art objects going to the United States. Herr LiIienthal has obtained the writ ten views of Prof Corrado Ricci, direc- tor of the art galleries at Florence; Prof Pic Joris. director of the Academy at San Luca at Rome; Privy Councillor Wilhelm Bode, director of the Royal Gallery of Paintings at Berlin; Henrl Maret, the art publicist of Paris; Georges Cain, director of the Carnava- let Museum at Paris; Prof Adolpho VentJri. director of the National gal. lery at Rome, and Prof Jose Benlliure, director of the Spanish academy oh fine arts at Rome. With the exception of Herr Rode they all are in favor of laws to prohibit the taking of works of art from Europe to America.

FATHER SLOCUd
 THANKS THE PEOPL

The feast of the ImmacuIata Con |ception, which occurred last ThuE day, was celebrated at the Church oE the Immaculate Conception yesterday There was a solemn high mass at 1O:30, Father Brennan being ceie. brant, Father Frederick deacon, and Father O'Brien sub-deacon. Tha ser. mon was preached by the pastor Father Slocun During his discourse he took occasion. to thank the people of his parish and the city generally for the manner in which the feast was observed as we'll as the perform ing of the jubilee. More than two thousand communicants knelt at the altar railing from Thursday, Decem Der 1, to Thursday, December s Ik was magnificent response, said Father SlocuIn, 'alnl pleas " me more than a'nythinG that has occurred since I came to this parish" The church was crowded at yesterdays services both morning and afternoon The mn sic with Prof Hughes at the otRan was up to the standard maintained this church A number of new voices have been added to the choir and their work the past few Sundays shows that the professor is capable and competent

says M. Maret. ''It is obvious that our treasures of art will be more and more bought by American miIlionaires. One can see the time approaching when our richest collections will have emf. grated to the United States.'' NJ. Mnret does not consider 1t difficult for the European nations to agree to adopt similar prohibitive laws.
 M. Cain writes: sIn America. and this is the danger, the money question does not exist and unless we do some, thing our sons will have to go to Chi. cago to see the jewels torn from the old crowns of European genius. Drive forward in your fight with strength and energy"
 signor Nenturi is not opposed to an export prohibition, but fears ths United States will remove the duties on art works and thus make the i'm portation of beautiful things easier.
 Senor Benlliure and, SignOr Joris sug- gest laws in other countries like those of. Italy.
 Herr Rode regards the election of MT Morgan as being of no great con sequence because the management or the museum Is largely in the hands of the trustees. The fact that Mr Nor gan is rich, Herr Rode adds, does not mean that he is going to spend more money now than previously on art, and

he compliments Prof Marquand and the late General Di Cesnola.
 Shall we" writes Herr Bode, 'cry out for such laws as those of Turkey. Greece and Italy to the injury of our own people and without essential eff feet? The greatest works of art in Germany and Italy belong to the state. Only few are in the possession of pri- vate persons.
 Those privately owned in France belong to money barons' who either keep them or present them to the pub lie. Only in England are rare collec. tions privately owned, and there the holders are too rich to sell them Be sides, if works of art go to the United States it is in the interest of art The rich men there who buy works of taste and genius either at once or later give them to public galleries. All who see them are benefited and the worlds pleasure in art is increased"
 Herr Bode concludes as follows: If continentals have to go to America to see art it will do them good. for they will also see other useful things"
 Herr Liliepthal, who prints these letters in the Tageblatt, holds to the majority opinion that works of arr created in Europe should be kept in Europe for the cultivation and pleasure of the European peoples.

 The committee on school houses and hygiene is doing some hard thinking about that illumipated clock in the Washington school and some of them cannot understand what they want such thing there for anyway, so that it wouW not surprise some folks if the illuminated clock at that build ing soon becomes a thing of the past. It would be great inconvenience to people in that district to shut off the electricity from the Washington school clock. Policemen, milkmen. people who work nights and the public gen. eraily always appreciated it, and as 1t does not cost much to continue the service there does not appear to he any reason for doing away with it. Instead of removing that one the board should make arrangements to have a similar service in all the pulp lie schools.

NO BAIL FIR CASSIE.
Mrs. Chadwick is Lam guishinS in the Tombs.

. ' J z. ,. ii
 New York, Dec 12--Early to-day bail had not been secured for the re lease of Mrs Cassie Chadwick from the Tombs prson nor had she given notice of any intention to waive ex' animation in this city and go to Cleve- land for hearing. Apparently rec onciled temporarily to prison re- straipts and fare, satisfied that should she attempt to provide bail now re- quired tho amount would immediate ly so increased as to become practical ly pr0hibitive it was believed to-day that Mrs Chadwick had consented to act upon the advice of her counsel and await an exainination in New York next SaturdaY.
 Mrs Chadwick appears to have en- tiTeIy recovered from the severe at tacks of nervousness which attended her first few hours in the Tombs and apprehension of a collapse are no longer entertained by the prison phy- sictans A subpoena for Angrew Car negie, to testify in the Chadwick case was received hy the authorities in this city to-day. It was issued in Ohio.
 Now that thSre is a pEnspecG Of hearing in this city speculation as to whether Anarew Carnegie would be called to testify was heightened by the. remarkable disclosures made by Treasurer Fri Reynolds of the Wade Park bank of Cleveland.
 The charge against Mrs Chadwick was that she signed a cheek for $12,- 500 when she had no funds in the Oberlin, O., bank and then procured the certiication of the check by the bank officials under arrest in Oberlin. The authorities, in attempting qto put MT Carnegie on the stand may argue, however, that the bank ofleiNls eerti- fed the check because of the various Carnegie notes, about wISch they had heard so much and some of which they had seen. Therefore, it will be claimed, Mr Garnegie's testimony is not irrelevant
 Early to-day Mrs Chadwick re. ceived message which was believed to be a cablegram from Dr Leroy Chad. wick in Paris. She was apparently un disturbed by it.. After breakfast to, day Mrs Chadwick called for the news. papers and read them, becoming con, siderably excited over them. She seemed Co be in much better health than yesterday and was iii cheerful spirits.
 N George Ryall,- of counsel for Herbert D. Newton, the Boston creditor of Mrs Chadwick. was summoned to her cell In the Tombs by Mrs Chadwick early to-day and responded In q hurry. A few minutes later Philip Carpenter, Mrs Chadwick's attorney, appeared at the Tombs in an equal hurry arS the two lawyers held conference with Mrs Chadwick.

The Person Who Engin- 1, eered ,. Morgan smith $ Case May Be Arrested
 Two Days More for State to Give Evidence.

CC iaMB CoOC c, E lTGB fififi
 New York, Dec 12s Stories of a possible sensational turn in the case were current to-day. when the trial of Nan Patterson charged with tile mur- der of Caesar Young, was resumed in the supreme court. According to the story blank subpoenas have been on- tained and it is said that even a blank petition for a writ of habeas corpus has been filled in, should an arrest make its immediate use advisable.
 This startling turn of the case was occasioned by the intimation of the state that a person who advised and engineered the escape of J. Morgan Smith, the actress's brother-in-law, and his wife, would be prosecuted on q charge of conspiring to defeat the ends of justice, It is expected that the state will take at least two more days to submit it's evidence. The in. tentions of the defence have been ob. scure That q defence will be offered in now considered certain, however in view of the fact that number of witnesses, Including three who claim to have seen Young shooting himself, have been subpoenaed.

SMASH lN PRICES.
Another Bit Of Excitsment in th 2
 Stock MarKet To-Day.

New York. Dec 12.-There was an. other opening smash in prices of stocks to-day, the trouble again centeripg in Amalgamated Copper. Heavy unload ing of that stock carried it down A and 10000 shares of United States Steel sold down an extreme 11a on running sales St Paul dropped 2 points on two, successive sales and there were opening losses all the way from to 1& in the leading Pacifics, grangers, coalers, trunk lines and spt> cialties. The market fTuctuated un- evenly after the opening and then went lower. The London prices for Ameri- cans before the opening here were gen erally higher and gave no hint of the storm hanging over this market.
 The opening break created consider, able lirleasiness, though nothing like last Thursdays decentralization fol- lowed Nevertheless the feeling was one of vague alarm. Traders seemed of the opinion that last weeks liquida- ton had not yet exhausted itself and 1t was clear that a great number ol accounts were being closed. London was reported to have sold 10000 shares, including a great deal of Steel common and preferred. Wire houses also sold and representatives of promi- nent local brokerage tirIns were openly bearish Brokers operating for Bos- ton were said to have sold copper and other stocks extensively.
