If an agent is kicked out for grating, state that
he has retired"
This sudden interest of the prohibition bureau in
things academic is illustrated also in the appointment
of ten college professors to seek the truth about proi

But it is difficult to be optimistic Just what purpose

A T the request of the United
L States public health service,
DR.. H. H. Hazen prepared a brief
statement for dissemination to the
public concerning care of the hair
and scalp.
He has emphasized particularly
some Well-established facts which
should be disseminated widely.
The hair should be washed often
enough to keep it clean-tIat means
for short hair, at least once in Two
weeks and for long hair once in
three weeks.
DR.. Hazen does not believe that
the use Of egg in shampoo is Of any
more value than throwing the egg
into an electric fan. 1t disseninates
the egg, but acconplishes nothing
for the hair.
He recommends any good toilet
soap that will lather freely. It is
especially important to rinse the

Of the Vatican recognized by the
United States government in wash

represented automatically at the
Vatican. The United States does not
recognize the Holy See at Rome as

Pig and Peasant

A FRIEND Of mine, who re-
IA turned from Europe last week,
found on his steamer a number of
American technicians of one sort

by European governments.

trying to teach hog raising to the
peasants Of a primitive section. They

turist explained, 81 prepared dis
injecting bath for a group of pigs,
and a curious thing happened. The
head pig walked without too much
protest to the edge of the pool.
There he stopped as if he had
just thought of an excellent excuse
to go no further. He looked at me
and then at the peasant whom I
was instructing. And the panto-
mime was obvious. That pig was
trying to say, as he took in with
that one glance the pool and the
peasant: why me? Why not hinn?'"

There is a feeling in New York
City now that dismissal of the
charges against the mayor consti-
tute complete vindication. There
is nothing in that.
The final decision does not and
will not rest with Governor Roose-
welt. He draws his authority from
the people who elected him. And
so does the mayor.
It is quite true that both gentle
men went into office on the high
tide of huge pluralities. 1t is quite
possible that Mayor Walker might
be returned again in 1888. Yet even
then no final Judgment will have
been rendered.

Miss Lois Beach
 at YMCA Forum
Delivered Address Yester- day Afternoon on Chris
 tian Education

"Why Bother with Religion" was the topic of the Sunday afternoon Forum at the central Y. M. c. A. yesterday afternoon with Miss Lois Beach, director of Christian edu- cation of the First Methodist church of Waterbury. Miss Beach was introduced by Roy E. Smith, director of Christian education of the central Y. M. c. A. She opened her talk by writing two definitions of religion which are a far cry from the commonly accepted defi- milton. These were as follows: "Re- ligion is the serious and social atti- tude of individuals toward the ing ultimate control over their inc terests and destinies," and "to do justly and to love kindness and to walk humbly with thy God" Miss Beach held her audience of about 15O young men wholly interested while she discussed and set forth reasons why they should bother with religion"
 In the course of the discussion, the facts were brought out rela- tive to the instinctive prayer in each and every persons life. "Whether we know it or not" said Miss Beach, i've are all fundament- ally religious. In time of stress, we instinctively turn to God for aid and support, calling upon someone greater than ourselves to carry us through the difficult is- sues."
 Att he end of Miss Beach's talk she was asked many questions. In reply to one question, she pointed out the fact that science and reli- zion, far from being opposed to each other. are going hand in hand to-day. She quoted eminent scien- lists among whom Einstein was in- cluded and their tributes to Deity. Miss Beach stressed the fact that religion is far more than a ques- tion of morals and ethics. It in- wolves the simple principles laid down by Christ himself, putting them into practical use.

 Anti-Jap Riots

 Recently Japanese stocks of teas, nuts. dried fish and other mer. chandise. were piled high on a lot and burned. Placards were car ried around calling the Japanese "murderers".
 The unofficial mayor of China town is reported to have ordered the boycott, and to have pledged men and money to China.

Story Of The Naval

Saving of Only SI7,OOO,OOO HeraIded in Republican Press as $50,OOO,OOO Leaks Out

The congress has cut down every presidential budget since the bud- get bureau was established. and it may, of course, cut the $343,000'000 naval budget estimate for 1888.
 On the construction of new ves- sels-the so-called naval expansion program-$57,0 ,000,0 900 is asked for. which is $4,000. 0.0O0S Smore than the appropriation for the current fis- cal year.
 The Baltimore Sun, in editorial comment on the presidents naval economy program, says:
 "In the presidents latest contri- button to the long controversy over naval estimates he discloses- that as a result of all the hullabaloo and all the recrimination, the navy's allowance in the next budget has been cut by the tremendous sum of $17,000,
 "The mountain of economy has labored and brought forth a mouse. After all the talk it would have seemed that something more sub- stantial in behalf of the taxpayers interest might have been accom- plished. Of course, small favors are not to be despised. and a saw ing of $17,000,000 is better than

Washington.-This is the story of the 'Naval Economy Morse"
 The final estimate for the naval budget for 1893 as announced by President Hoover Is $343, ,000, 900, which is $59, 9,OO0,00O less than the original estimate of the navy de- partment. This reduction is her. aided in the party press as a $59,- OOO, ,OO0 saving" by the administra- ton, although the exact saving, if congress accepts the $343, 1000, 900 figures, is only $17,O00,000, or that much less than was appro- priated for the current fiscal year of 1882.
 What the president and the bud- get bureau have done was to re- quire the navy department to re- duce its original. request for $402,- O0O,O00 in round figures to $434,- OO0,O00. It is the custom of prac- tically all the departments of the government in their preliminary budgets to ask for more than they get or expect to get. and when the executive fails to cut them down, congress itself performs that task. Mrs Henry Staples and Mrs New ton Leas are the committee in charge of entertainment.

EXPORTERS ARE SENDING IN THE
 WINE AND BEER
Loop Hole in the Canada Law 'Paves the Way Law Only Mentions Hard Liquors

London, Ont, June 24--CUP)- Although government officials de- nied evidence that a loophole had been found in the liquor or export ban, wine and beer exporters along the north shore of Lake Erie were reported to-day continuing their increased activity.
 Exporters were not required to export from licensed warehouses or export docks, according to the re- ports, as previously prescribed by Canadian law, and purpOrtedly were not asked by the government to place bond on shipments to guaran- tee delivery at the port for which the cargoes were destined. The loop-hole, according to local export CTS, was seen in the fact that the export ban forbid shipments of liquors" to any country forbidding the importation of 1t. Liquors" ex- porters claimed, mean hard li- quors," and do not include restric- tions on wines and beers.
 The government does not require exporters to name the destination of the cargoes of wine and beer now, 1t was said, but merely asks them to fill out form saying it is for exportation. Canadian police when stopping cargoes en route to the border, reportedly did not ques- tion the destination but merely saw that the amountof beer and wine carried on the truck tailed with the amount listed on the form sheet.

THE RUTLEDCE
 STREET BRIDGE AS Far From Being Built Now as When First
 Mentioned |IONG TIME ON LIST
LONG TIME ON LIST

What became of all the agitation about, a bridge from Hamilton ave inue to East Main street by way of Rutledge street? At one time this
 proposition was very prominently. before the public, but for some time past it has dropped out of the pub lie; mind. This is not because the need of a cross street at that point Is not as urgent now as when 1t was first mentoined. It. is an expensive
 job, but it will be done some time and the longer 1t is delayed the
 more it will cost.
 When you talk with some about it they will tell you that the rail-
 road is opposed to the bridge and others point the accusing finger at
 the Scovill Go, but the truth is that the blame rests with the city gov-
 ernment, not only the present one,
 but every administration that has
 been in power for almost half a
 century. They all admitted that the
 work would have to be done some time but that was as near as they came to doing anything.
