A HIGH HOLLER IS JAIL.
ATLANTA YOUTHS BLED BY
WORTHLESS DRAFTS.
Tba Town Done Up by a Fallen Swell j
From Tennessee—A Woman With
Whom He Became Enamored With
Elm on His Travels—Tbe Fugitive
Captured at St. Louis
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20.—F. C. Allen has
been arrested in St. Ixiuis for passing
worthless drafts upon tbe firm of P. H.
Snook & Son, one of the largest furniture
bouses in the city. A few days before
Christmas Allen came to Atlanta and reg
istered at the Kimball, writing Nashville
after his autograph. Without letters of in
troduction he soon ingratiate 1 himself into
the best circles of the city. He is n young
man of fine appearance and pleasant man
ners. and had no difficulty in becoming in
timate with several of the young bloods of
Atlanta
TliK BLOODS BLED.
These same bloods have now been bled,
and it is said several belles of the Gate City
wear a crest-fallen and subdued look ben
ever his name is mentioned. At any rate it
is undisputed that he was lionized and
feted, and, in fact, soon became a social
butterfly of the gaudiest ep<clos. The
awakening, however, came —but too late.
Two days before Christmas Allen
approached one of his new-made friends,
Harry Bnook, and asked him to indorse a
sight draft on a Nashville bank. It was
done with pleasure, and without tbe slight
est suspicion.
ALLEN DISAPPEARS.
On the following Monday the same re
quest was made and tbe next day Allen left
the city. Until this morning the only thing
heard of him was the return of the two
drafts unpaid. It now turns out that
Allen really does belong to one of the oldest
and most aristocratlo families of Tennessee,
but becoming infatuated with a womau
named Jeanette Lucas, the bon ton circles
iu which he moved there cut him and he
decamped, taking the woman and leaving
his former friends iu the soup. The Lucas
woman was with him during his visit hero.

FINANCES AND THE TARIFF.
Secretary Foster to Appear Before the
Ways and Moans Committee.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The ways and
means committee to-day adopted the follow
ing resolution:
He solved. That the Secretary of the Treasury
be requested to appear before the committee on
ways and means of the House of Representa
tives at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, Jan. 23,
for the purpose of furnishing the committee
with information in reference to the finances of
the country.
Mr. Springer, the chairman, said that in
formation was desired in order that the
committee might have knowledge of the
government’s receipts and expenditures be
fore taking action with reference to the
tariff. It nad been eaid that the govern
ment's expenditures were now greater than
its revenues, aud this would have an im
portant bearing on the question of tariff re
vision .
NEW CONDITIONS.
The conditions which gave point to the
tariff reform message of President Cleve
land no longor confronted the couutry. The
surplus of $100,000,000 a year was no longer
piling up in the treasury. The committee
had no official information on the subjeot
of the national finances later than that oon
taiued in the book of estimates, which
brought the information down only to
June 30 last. Mr. Springer said the
committee desired to know something about
the government’s finances for the first six
months of the curreut fiscal year and their
probable condition in the future. Until
this information is secured the committee
will not decide upon the course it will pur
sue. The tariff was not broachod in the
committee to-day, at least in auy formal
way.

Romeo’s Blue Billc Blouse.
From the Neie York Mail and Express.
"There never was au actress who could
command her lachrymal glands as Adelaide
Noilson could,” says Jack Ilarnos of Joe
Jefferson's company. “I was her leading
man at one time,” continued Jack, "and I
learned her peculiar faculty in this way to
my cost. At that time I rather fancied my
self, don’t you know, in such parts as
Romeo and the like, aud I went to consid
erable expense in the matter of dressing.
For Romeo 1 had some lovely dresses, ail
silk, Satin and lace of the mot delicate
‘evening shades,’ as the ladies say. A deli
cate pale blue jacket was my favorite in
one of tbe scenes between Romeo and Juliet,
and I was awfully sorry I had it before the
easou was over.
“After a few performances I noticed that
the beautiful pale blue si Ik on the front of
my costume was stained in some way.
There w ere long streaks iu it which I couid
not account for. Tnat night Noilson and i
were in one of the pathetic love scenes of
‘Romeo and Juliet.’ Her head rested on
my breast. She looked up, turned her face
to the audience a moment, which at once
burst into most tumultuous applause.
"When she turned her faoe toward mine
again I saw the tears streaming down her
cheeks. I glanced at my costume and saw
the cause of the stains. Here were several
fresh, wet new streaks on the handsome pale
blue silk ma le by Juliet’s tears. I tried to
hold her head away from mo, but costumes
had to be sacrificed to art, and when the
season was over my costume was striped in
stead of a plain blue silk, the change having
beeu caused by Juliet’s too realistic weeps.”

I FREE SILVER COINAGE.
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE VOTES IN
FAVOR OF TAKING IT UP.
A Final Vote to bi Taken on the Bland
Bill in Three Weeks—A Special Meet-
I ing to be Held to Hear Persons Who
Desire to Address the Committee
Washington, Jan. 20.—1n tho llonsa
committee on coinage to-day, Representa
tive Pierce of Tennessee again offered his
| resolution proposed at the meeting last week
| declaring it to be the sense of the commit*
I tee that a ! ill for free unlimited coinage of
i silver should be reported to the House with
: out delay. Asa substitute for this resolu
tion Mr. B&rtiue of Nevada offered the
following:
Resolved, That th-committee proceed atones
to consideration of the question of the free
coinage of silver, taking House bill No. 2,7u0
i .he bland free coinage bill.) as the basis of such
consideration.
Mr. Johnson of North Dakota proposed
the committee substitute for the Bland bill
introduced by him pr vlding for an inter
national monetary conference as tbe basis
of consideration of the silver question.
THE LINE DRAWN.
On this motion of Mr. Johnson there was
a fair alignment of the merntiers of the
committee who were present as respects
their views on the silver question. The re
sult w as the defeat of Mr. Johnson’s motion
by a vote of 7to 2. Messrs. Johnson and
Stone of Pennsylvania, cast the only affirm
ative votes. The negative votes were cist
by Messrs. Bland, Williams of Illinois, Rob
erteon. Pierce, Epes, McKeigban and
Bartine.
Mr. Tracey of New York, who is opposed
to free silver coinage, came into the com
mittee room just as tne vote was concluded,
and as his vote would not have changed the
result ho did not cast it. The three ab
sentees were Mosrs. Williams of Massachu
setts, Taylor of Illinois and Kilgore.
bartine’s motion carried.
Mr. Bartine’s motion was then carried,
with no dissenting vote save that of Mr.
Pierce of Tennessee, who had no objection
to tho resolution itself, but preferred the
res olution offered by himself.
Mr. Pierce then moved that the final vote
be taken on the Bland bill two weeks from
to-day, at II o’clock.
Mr. Stone of Pennsylvania, an anti-free
coinage man, made a conservative speech,
in which he suggested that the vote be de
ferred until three weeks from to-day, and
this suggestion was unanimously agreed to.
It was further resolved that the committeo
should hold a special meeting at the call of
the chairman for the purpose of hearing
such persons as might desire to address the
committee, and whom the committee in its
discretion might decide to accord a hearing.
The feeling in the committee was very
pleasant ami no disposition wai shown to
delay the consideration. It is expected that
tho bill will got into the House about Feb.
10, and it is the purpose of the silver mon to
call it up before the month of February
ends.
THE SURVIVOR ELECTED.
Irish Dueling Customs, Especially at
Election limes.
From the feeds Mercury.
In no country has dueling enjoyed so
healthy a vitality as in Ireland. For a con
siderable period of its history the Green
Isle was the happy hunting ground of “sat
isfaction.” Tlio mon and women of the last
century'and the earlier part of the present
flung themselves into the exciting pastime
with a generous enthusiasm. It was a part
of tho curriculum of education and no
young gentleman’s education was consid
ered oomplete until he had fought in a duel.
Indeed, at one time a club existed in Gal
way to which no person was admitted who
had not shot his man.
In those days every respectable family
had among their hoirloomß tho hereditary
pistols - the preservators and vindicators of
the family honor. These were tenderly re
garded and kept scrupulous clean and oiled,
for no man knew the moment when they
would be required. Tho handles were
mysteriously notched, aud on each notch
hung a tale—perhaps a catastrophe. At
Castlebar H. C. Hall was shown a pistol
marked with seven notches, each notch in
dicating that it bad sent a bullet into an ad
versary.
The father of Toler, Lord Norhury, on
his death bed and almost with his dying lips
took a pair of pistols from under his pillow
and murmured as he presented them to his
son: "Now, Jack, be always ready to keep
up the credit of the family and tho honor
of the Irish gentloman,” which dying ad
vice Jack seems to have remembered, for as
Lord Norbury in after days he fought
Fighting Fitzgerald and two others.
Hot-headed, sensitive and rash, Irish gen
tlemen fought on every provocation. “I
was present at a duel,” writes B. C. Hall in
his "Retrospect of a Long Life,” “a fatal
duel, which was fought near Rossoarberry.
Two first cousins had quarreled over some
thing—the merest trifle—ai.d a meeting was
the result. A tew minutes before they fired
I heard one of the principals say to his
seconds:
“ ‘I declare I have not even anger against
my cousin.’ He had merely said what ho
thought, that tbe other principal had be
haved like a goose, adding ‘I know that 1
am less than a goose fur going out w ith
him.’ The first shot laid him on the sward,
mortally wounded.
"At this long distance of time I can see
the gradual film, the glazed look of death
come over his eyes, and hear the sob with
whioh he yielded up a life full of hope and
promise. A young fellow lay dead, whils
there was in dispute the barest point of
honor that a judicious arbitor might have
settled in half a minute by half a dozen
words! I did not on that mournful day see
tho body conveyed to the house the dead
man had left, but I passed there subse
quently, and could well imagine the intense
agony of a household where ho was deeply
and fondly loved.
"Of course a duol generally followed an
election, or rather occurred while it was
pending. Wo get a remarkable illustration
of what life in Ireland was in 1810, when
Messrs. Colclough and Hheridan opposed
Mr. Alcock for the representation of the
county of Wexford. Sevoral tenants of a
person supporting Alcoolc declared that
they should vote for the two other candi
dates. -This was resented aud Mr. Uol
cloiigh was called upon to refuse their votes.
He declared that he had in no manner can
vassed them and that he would not direct
them how they should vote. He was an
swered: ‘Receive their votes at your peri 1C
“Before the opening of tho next day's
poll the rival candidates were on tho field to
determine the tenants’ right by tho pistol.
Many hundreds were present. Among them
were several magistrates. Tho ground was
marked; the crowd separated on either side,
as their party feelings dictated; tho word
was given and Mr. Colclough foil, shot
through the heart. Within two hours after
ward his opponent was returned duy
eleotod.
"At the next assizes he was tried for mur
der before Baron Smith, wt;o openly de
clared against a capital conviction, and the
jury, without a moment’s kestitation, pro
nounced a verdict of *N t guilty.’ The
parties to th3 duel had been intimate friends,
and Alcock, though acquitted, never re
covered his seif-composure; his intellect
faded, and his sister, doubly wounded, wont
mad and died.”
A singular duel arising out of an election
squabble has been recorded by Sir Harring
ton, iu which the seconds as well as the
principals l ught. They stood at right
angles, ten pices distant, and all Dugan
firing together on a signal from an umpire.
At the first the two principals were touched,
at the next both seoends aud one principal
staggered out of their places. They were
well "hit,” hut uo lives lost.
Still there was much truth in the story
which has been told of Die* Martin of Gal
way, who, being in conversation with tho
priuce regent, was addressed by the prince
with: "Si you are going to have a con
tested election'in your county (” “ Ycs, your
royal highness, as usual.” “And who will
win?" "The survivor, please your royal
highness,” Martin answered with Hibernian
coolness.
IT IS EASY TO BECOM3 A BLONDE
An Explanation of tee Restoration of
the Color of Patti’s Hair.
From the Xere York Sun.
Mme. Patti's reappearance this year os a
brunette has, apparently, revived interest
ing gossip concerning the ready trans
formation of brunettes into blondes, and
their restoration. The pr cesses have
astonished the town for a couple of decades,
aud it is known that the diva succesfully
tried tbe experiment just before her last
farewell to America two seasons ago. She
had departed to her castle at
Craig-y-Nos, in Wales, black-haired and
happy, and she rea: pvared with a head of
hair that the enthusiasts described as a “ba
wl Mri. mg Titian red.” The secret of the
transformation wai peroxide of hydrogen.
Concerning the experiment the editor of the
American Hairdresser said recently:
"Blondes will exist as long as peroxide of
hydrogen is manufactured. It turns the
most pronounced brunette into a charming
blonde, at a ranging charge of from #1 50
in the Bowery to sl9 iu Fourteenth or
Twenty-third street.”
"The editor is right,” said Robert
Bellehatnbers, who used to be president of
Hairdressers’ Union of New York. "Noth
ing is easier than to make a blonde nowa
days of women whom nature has thus
favored. Mme. Patti's experiment is an il
lustration of the facility with which the
thing can be done. Patti, however, only
went through half the bleaching process,
and consequently she came out as a Titian,
not a blonde. When she stoppel w ashing
her hair with peroxide of hydrogen her hair
gradually returned to its natural black.”
Mr. Bellchambers introduced peroxide of
hydrogen in this country f >r bleaching.
“Pauline Markham of the English
blondes theatrical troupe,” he said, “was
the first woman who used it iu this city. I
supplied it to her over twenty years ago.
Then actresses generally took it up, and
women in society followed the example. It
used to sell in those days, when it was a
nine days’wonder, at $lO a bottle, and I
know of women of wealth who didn’t like
the color of their hair, who paid as much as
$29 a bottle for It. That left a profit of sl2
to the dealer, for it sold wholesale at $8 a
bottle, Now it finds a ready sale all over
tbe world, and can be bought for 25 cents a
bottle. Here it is.”
He held up a 6-ounca bottle containing a
fluid that was absolutely colorless, like
water. It had a slight odor. “The process
< t making blondes,” he said, "is to apply
tills to the roots of the hair occasionally,
after the fir6t bleaching of the hair, it
affects tho coloring matter only. The hair
changes from black or dark to red, and then
to a blonde. You call make it auy shade
you desire.”
"Can any color of hair be bleached?”
“Any except a natural red. We can do
nothing with that unless we apply dye. Red
hair will not bleach. I have tried for years
to find out the reason, but no one could tell
me. ”
"But isn’t it hurtful, poisonous?”
“The hair will grow out again its natural
color as soon as the use of the wash is
stopped, and as for the effects of tho fluid,
here's n sample of how dangerous it is."
He drew the cork of the bottle, held it
up, and let its contents trickle down Lis
throat. Then he explained: "It is not
only harmless, but it has been discovered
that it is an excellent antiseptic. W hen iny
boy had diphtheria some months ago tho
doctor prescribed this and it cured him. It
cuts away that peculiar growth in tho
throat that is one of the accompaniments
of diphtheria, and it cleanses the system. I
have known for years that it makes a fine
wash for the teeth. It removes all the Im
purities and gives a fine gloss to the enamel.
You take a little in your mouth and rinse
the teeth. The fluid forms into a soapy
liquid like a dontifriee, and deans the teeth
readily. You dop’t even huvo to use a tooth
brush,' unless yon care to. The rinsing of
the month is sufficient. There is a man in
town who asserts that this peroxide of
hydrogen is the great cure-all that the world
has been looking for, but he Is an extremist,
I fear. All tnat I know about it is that it
does not injure tho hair and that it is a cura
tive agent for diphtheria and that it makes
an effective dsntritioe. It is seldom used,
however, except for its original purpose of
bleaching hair. I have had it analyzed by
competent chemists, who didn’t know why
1 wanted it tested, and thoy say that it is
devoid of harm when applied to the hair."

A STARTLING FACT !
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowledge
and skill to know what the eyes need and to fit
them properly with glasses. Those who trust
this work to urdustructed dealers are criminally
cart'll, s of the most valuable of all the senses,
their sight. In addition to graduating in Ger
many and my,thirty years practical experience,
I have taken a course and graduated in a
school of optics in New York and learned the
latest and best methods of ascertaining the differ
ent defects of the eyes and their proper correc
tion, so that I can tit you properly with glasses
that will strengthen and improve your eye-ight
instead of rapidly ruining it. as poorly-fitted
glasses will always do. No charge for ex
amination.
