Dcbun, Feb. 17.—John Dillon, who Is bow in prison at Clonmel, has been re moved from his cell to the prison infirmary. A BRITISH ZOLLVKBEIN. The Scheme Talked to Death la the House of Commons. London, Feb. 17. In the House of Com mons to-night Mr. Vinoent moved that the government, at the earliest opportunity, invite the British colonies to a conference in London to debate the best means of {owning a zollverein. He continued that an imperial federation was only to be ob tained through a commercial federation. Many of the leading colonial statesmen and others favored a commercial federation. Sir Lyon Playfair crltioisedjthe motion as covering a protectionist movement. He argued that, owing to the Into est of the colonies, a zollverein was impracticable. Ho quoted statistic.* showing the Increase of British trado during the present regime. He contended tnat it would be more in judicious to arrest the reaction in America against the excessive protection induced by the McKinley law by imposing differential duties against America for the benefit of the colonies. Considering all the circumstances, there was no basis to justify parliament in inviting the colonies to a conference. Inconolusion he exDressed hope for an ultimate union of the colonies on a free trade basis. Mr. Lowther declared that there was no real free trade party in Amorioo, and that the whole world, with the exception of Eng land. was becoming protectionists. He said: "Unless we give our colonies commercial facilities we had better make up our minds to vacate the imperial position.” QOSCHEN SPEAKS. Mr. Qoschen, chancellor of the exchequer, Mid that whatever might be the fate of the motion, England had do desire to influence the Canadian elections. He sympathised with some points in Mr. Vincent’s speech. He believed that the increasing desire for a closer union between Kn gland and the col onies ought to be fostered. He also oonoeded that many of the views of Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill had lost the authority they formerly exerted, and It was no longer possible to denounce opposing views as claptrap; still, he must hold to what was sound in their views, and he hoped that the suspicions of lurking pro teotton would not retard the colonies. While he granted that the country must be prepared for some fiscal changes in interests of that union, the colon ists must understand that it was impossible for England to tax corn. [Cheers.] There was no likelihood that the czlottiee would consent to a conference on a feee trade basis. There only remained differential duties, and he failed to see how they could be imposed. It seemed so him, therefore, that the con ference would be merely an invitation to follow a "will-o’-the-wisp.” Mr. Vinoent withdrew his motion. BBLQIUM'S BOJIALISTB.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1891. CHILH'd CIVIL WAR. The Government Forces Defeated at Cogulmbo and Quilleta. Paris, Feb. 17.—Tha Gauloit to-day publishes a dispatch from Buenos Ayres which announces that the Chilean govern ment troops have been defeated at Co quimbo and Quillets. The same dispatch states that the insurgent forces are rapidly increasing in numbers, and that they are advancing upon the capital, Santiago de Chile. The Gauloit' dispatch adds that only a tew towns remain loyal to the gov ernment. The destruction of the railways by the insurgent forces hampers the move ments of the government troops. Presi dent Balanced* w well supported in the capital, and is said to be hrpefnl of being able to re poise the rebels. It is feared that the rebellion will be disastrous to the finances and commerce of the country. a mine set on fire. During the course of the battle fought at Tarapaco, 145 miles southeast of 110, the mines at Tamper a were set on fire and afterward Were flooded in an attempt to extinguish the flames. The Germaa aimers who were employed in the mines there fled into the interior. Tarapaca is only ten miles from the mouth of a river opening into the Pacific ocean, so it is inferred that the destruction of property at Tarapaca was the work of a landing party which came ashore from one of the insurgent war vessels. The coal depots at Coronel have been pillaged by insurgent sailors sent ashore to obtain onal for the rebel vessels. Coronel is twenty-five miles south of Con cepcion. A MURDEROUS CONSPIRACY.

From the New York Sun. “You’d better have your hair trimmed, sir.” So said the barber In the shop at Church andCortlandt streets. “Why?" he was asked. “I had It cut only a week ago.” “Yes, but I see it is very tbiuontop,” said the barber, “and I think that it should be cut very frequently in order to save it" On tho next afternoon the barber in the Park Avenue Hotel was making his last excursion with a razor over the same raau’s face. “You are getting bald,” stud he. “Now, what a gigantic mystery it is—this subject of the hair. I am’ bald; you are g ttiug bald. Neither of us would try to save a thousand dollars if that would have kept us a full head of hair, but neither money, nor skill nor wisdom will save any man a single hair of his head. For my part, the oalv knowledge I have, after being in the barSer business twenty years, is purely negative. 1 think that if you don’t have your hair cut it will not fall out.” “VVnat? Never have it cut?” “Stop a minute. Did you ever see a bald headed woman? Yon never did. Well, such a thing as a bald-headed woman ex ists, but they are very rare. Now, why are women practically never bald, and why are men growing bald in greater numbers every year? You naturally reply—or would if you had thought about it as much as I— that the reason lies in the hats women wear. Their hats amount to nothing. The aver age bonnet does not weigh two ounces. Their hats are open, and there is more or less ventilation under and through them, whereas meu's hats are heavy boxes that enclose aud weigh down and stifie the hair.” “I never thought of that.” "Well, that amounts to nothing,” said the barber. “It sounds important, but whatever we say in favor of women’s hats is offset by the faot that they wear them twice as many hours at a time as men wear theirs. Women often put a hat on in the morning and don’t remove it till dinner; they wear their bonnets in church, at the theater, during their calls, everywhere and all the time. Tho important difference be tween the sexes is, after all, that boys aud men have their hair cut and girls and wo men don’t. A little girl’s hair is nursed after she passes early childhood. Rome fathers who are obliged to koep their fami lies in the hot city insist that their babies’ hair shall be cnt, aud the mothers yield in the cases of tho girls with great reluctance, but after the little girls are 4 or 5 years old tne women fight to have their bair uncut thenceforward, and such is tbe rule with most girls. After thiuking it all over for twenty years I am of tbe opinion that hair cutting produces baldness. “See,” continued the barber, “what won derful heads of hair tho Indians have How thick it is; bow splendid are the braids they wear down their bocks, It is so with all savages—all have plenty of hair and none ever out it. The white men who live in wild countries or on our border exemplify the same thing. They wear their hair down on their sbonlders and it is thick and luxuriant; but it has not been out in all the time they bare lived the life of tbe rudo people around them. My calm decision is that if you want to escape baldness you must keoD the scissors away from your bead. No medicine wfll remedy baldness. To find a remedy that will do so is the surest road to a giant fortune, and men have been experimenting for more than a century without fiuding a remedy.” Ocala to Hear Sam Jones. Ocala, Fla., Feb. 17. —Sam Jones preaches at the exposition Saturday night and three sermons on Sunday. Great preparations arc being made for his arrival.

The Rev. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus had an interesting experience out in Arizona last summer. It will bear narrating. It see ms that a friend in London, aware of the reverend gentleman’s fondness for vivid colors, sent Dr. Gunsaulus a bright red necktie. There is no other red necktie in the world quite as red as a British red neck tie; it is the consummation, the apotheosis of redness. When Dr. Gunsaulus clapped his eyes on that red necktie he was dazzled —nay, he was stunned—by its terrifio splendor. As quickly as he could be put it away. "I must not wear it,” said he to himself. “It is too wicked for this- part of the world. I will reserve it for Arizona.” It is true that Dr. Gunsaulus had 165 acres of wheat out in Arizona that needed looking after, but it is more than likely that an ambition to wear that new, splendid red necktie Inspired in Dr. Gqneaulus a ceaseless yearning to go west. At any rate be went, accompanied by his son, a little fellow of 10 or 12 years of Age. To such as have never seen Dr. Gun saulus decked in that array which he affects when inspecting wheat or hunting rare bibliomaniac finds in Arizona, we will say that this ocsturae is strange to the dogree of weirdness- its most conspicuous feature Is a black felt hat with an eoonnous flexible brim. An especial flavor or spide—of wickedness, if you please—was given to this costume by the superb red necktie. To be candid. Dr. Gunsaulus, attired for Arizona, looked very like one of those far western characters of which Bret Harts loves to treat. Now it happened that Dr. Gunsaulus traveled on a free pass —a free pass ob tained through the kindlr offices of one of the influential lambs of his flock. This free pass was made continuous all the way from Chicago to Arizona and back again. It fail clearly within the lines of the inter state commerce act, for it was made out to the account of (and wus to be paid in) ad vertising. This free pass worked all right until Dr. Gunsaulus struck the Santa Fe country. It was then that a coarse, unfeeling, one eyed conductor came through the train col lecting tickets at the point of a mnrderons looking horse pistol. He had been sheriff of a county in New Mexico, and was a thing of blood. “Tickets I” demanded this fierce monster. Dr. Gunsaulus mildly produced his free pass. The conductor read the free pass. The unhallowed fire of skepticism illumined his cyolopean optic. “W’at’s yer name?” asked the condnotor. “The Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus,” answered the holy man. The conductor took as rapid a view of Dr. Gunsaulus as his one eye would admit of. “No, yer don’t 1” exclaimed the conductor, brutxlly. xer don’t play that game on me! Yer no preacher.” “Indeed I am, and a very good preaoher, too,” remonstrated Dr. Gunsaulus. “Come, now,” said the conductor, "it’s no use of yer try in’ to come any monkey busi ness with me; I reckon I know a dominy when I see him. Yer’il have to put up yer good money or get oif’n the train!” Thera seemed to be no alternative. Dr. Gunsaulus looked out of the car window. It would never do for him to be set down in that desert of cactuses and prairie dogs. He sought to reason with the conductor. Every gift, overy power,every artifice of eloquence at his command he brought to bear upon the callous creature, but all in vain. In vain al so did the reverend gentleman’s little boy plaintively but stoutly maintain that “papa was a minister;” the uuregeuerate heart of that conductor was not to be moved. "No dominy ever wore a necktie like that,” said the conductor. “Yer’il have to put up tho stuff or git off’n the train.” Dr. Gunsaulus dia put up, but not until he bad secured a receipt therefor from the one-eved skeptic. The next three hours were Lours of misery, for not oven so long suffering and so patient a clergyman as Dr. Gunsaulus cares to be separated from his worldly possesions by the unfeeling agent of a souless railway corporation. But about a hundred miles farther down the road'the mayor of Santa Fe boarded the train, and he was happily able to identify Dr. Gun saulus as being Indeed entitled to ail the perquisites and courtesies involved in and entailed by that free pass. So the one eyed conductor disgorged the money and made an apology as best he could. "I’ve been livin’ out here now for goin’ on twenty-three years,” said be, “and I’ve seen every kind of human bein’, from bonanza kings down to >hreo-card morne sharks, but I never seen a preacher with a red necktie afore! Say, pardner, yer a daisy. I’ll bet! Although it’s agin the rules, I dou’t mind lookin’ at yer if y er’ve got yer bottle handy!” MEDICAL [h mw%A COMPOUND mk The importance of purifying the blood can not he overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health. At this season nearly every one needs a good medicine to purity, vitalize, and enrich the blood, and Hood's Sarsaparilla is worthy your confidence. It is peculiar in that it strengthens and builds up the system, creates an appetite, and tones the digestion, while it eradicates disease. Give it a trial.
