A CLOSE SHAVE
Many Of Them Happening Every
Day but Soon Forgotten.

Day but Soon Forgotten.
Close shaves would be of more
frequent occurrence but for the
tender faces of many men which
will not permit of shaving often.
Heretofore, nothing has been said
in these columns about poslam,
new skin discovery, in connection
with it's use after shaving. It's pub
licity and sales have been confined
almost exclusively to it's remarka-
BILE properties as an eczema cure,
it stops the itching at once and
cures the worst cases in few days
While the application of poslam
after shaving is one of it's minor
uses, such as for pimples. the COM
plexion, etc, shavers will find it a
revelation, as it does for abrasions,
roughness and severe scrapings
what it does 70 rail- manner of skin
fficulties-heals and cures in a
few hours. 1t is the only article
possessing real antiseptic and cura-
tive value that has ever been ex-
plotted for this purpose, and will
soothe and tone up the skin as no
toilet preparation could possibly
do.
Poslam can be had for so cents
at any reliable druggists, particu-
larly Murgittroyd's and Ritter's,
who make a specially of it. Or the

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, June 5.-"Take up
my affairs. | have the utmost faith
in your Judgment. ! will not hold
you responsible for any mistakes
you may make"
The late Henry H. Rogers is
quoted as having once said these
words to Urban II. Broughton, his
son-in-law.
They are remembered. now that
a successor to Rogers must take
up his vast work.
Urban H. Broughton knows more
about Rogers affairs than does the
son of the dead financier. Mr..
Broughton has even taken Mr..
Rogers place on the witness stand
at various times, so thoroughly
was he acquainted with Rogers af-
fairs.
Wall street is inclined to believe
that young Heary H. Rogers, jr.,
will not have a full hand in sway
ing the affairs of the Rogers fam.
lily until Broughton is ready to per.
NIT him TO do so.

And now, two women, sisters,

French Authorities, After Grave Con.
sideration, Decide They Are
Not Game.

The civil status of the snail has
been decided by the French council
of state. Last year the general coun-
Gil of the Yonne department passed
resolution that the snail should be
treated as game and so should re-
ceive the benefit of close season.
Gourmets rejoiced, for the future
of this delicacy seemed once more as
sured, but the Yonne councillors for
got the administration" without
which nothing moves in France.
Their resolution was forwarded to
the project who sent it to the minis
ter Of agriculture.
The ministry pondered over it
for nearly year and examined all
the laws that touched on the ques-
ton. This inquiry has resulted in a
circular published in the Bulletin
de PAgriculture which declares that
the snail is neither game nor fish,
but only an agricultural parasite, :"
and as such can be destroyed at all
times and all seasons.
The Yonne councillors are now
thinking of introducing a special law
into the chamber to protect the
snail.

HAS NO RECORD OF DIVORCE
Proud Boast of Woman Pastor Who
Has United Large Number OF
Loving Couples.

Is the woman parson panacea for

sions on 80 years experience in
marrying couples, not one of whom
have sought to have their matri-
monial bonds set aside.
On Cape Cod, where the we'll
known suffrage orator began life as
a Methodist minister, she was ex-
tremely popular with young couples.
cit used to be quite the fashion
for couples to come from nearby
settlements to be married by the
woman parson," said Miss Shaw,
"and it is a matter of great delight
to me that these marriages have
turned out so well.

successful marriages which have
fallen to my share as minister to
the fact that any man who is broad
minded enough to be married by

his wife and consider her entitled to
an equal share in the government OF

Prince Ferdinand, who now styles
himself czar Of Bulgaria, rules over
a turbulent and not easily governed
people. Continual watchfulness has
made him extremely nervous. Some

up paper bag that was lying in
the road, blew it up with his mouth
and exploded it with loud report
The prince started to his feet, gave a
terrified glance around, sprang from
the carriage and made off rapidly in
the direction of his hotel.

The licensees are not allowed to covel

these wooden licenses are to be two

Newfoundland's sealing feet went
forth this year fully equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus. 1t is
expected that the wireless will not
only relieve the anxiety which is
often felt for the safety of the seal
ers, but that it will also be of i'm.
mense advantage in locating the
quarry of which the fleet goes in
search. The fleet this year consists
of % steamships, manned by nearly
1000 men; II Of the vessels pro-
coed to the Grand Banks, while the
other six cruise in the Gulf of st.
Lawrence. In former years the
vicinity of the Magdalen islands, 40
miles to the north of Prince Edward
island, was good sealing ground, but
of late years the seals have not been
found in that district in any great
numbers.
