ROME BRANDS FALSE 0REA0PLAGUE TIP Report 2,300 Italians Had Succumbed to Cholera Termed "Ridiculous."
(National News Association) Rome, July 18. Stirred to action by the reports printed abroad because of the censorship on cholera news, the Italian government today issued an official denial of the rumors that thousands have perished. The report that 2,300 had died at Palermo was branded as "ridiculous," but nevertheless there is an undercurrent of fear even in the highest official circles that the situation is rapidly getting beyond control. A movement is on foot to enlist the aid of a commission composed of the greatest cholera experts of the world.

DEMOCRATS AT WAR Factional Strife Wages at Harrisburg, Pa. (National News AsHociation) Harrtsburg, Pa., July 18. Pretty nearly every Democrat of prominence in Pennsylvania appears to have arrived in town today in anticipation of the meeting of the State Committee tomorrow. Though some of the old wheel-horses of the party are busy in an effort to promote harmony, there is every prospect that the differences of the rival factions will be fought out to a finish, with a possibility that the fight may be carried into court for a final settlement. Control of the State delegation to the next national convention is the prize sought by both factions. The old Guffey crowd, which has had. the upper hand for years, and the opposition, now known as the "reorganizers," have candidates for State Chairman and member of the National Committee. The organization proposes ex-Judge James Gay Gordon for National Committeeman and Eugene C. Bonniwell for State Chairman. The reorganization Democrats are backing Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer for
National Committeeman and ex-Mayor Guthrie of Pittsburg for State Chairman.

Ottawa, Ont., July 18. The Dominion Parliament reassembled for the resumyption of business today, following the recess which was taken to enable the Premier and other officials to attend the coronation and the Imperial Conference in London. A large number of western and lower province members came in yesterday, and the delegates from Ontario and Quebec, who always arrive last, reached the capital this morning. A wide diversion of opinion exists among the members as to the probable outcome of the session. The proposed reciprocity pact with the United States is, of course, the foremost Item on the agenda. The program is regard to the measure will
likely be determined in a large degree
by the prospects at Washington. A hard struggle is In prospect here. It is generally believed that the opposition will resume filibustering and will persist in its efforts to block any progress of the bill. If ' this course be pursued a dissolution of parliament and a general election, with reciprocity as the chief issue, would appear to be inevitable, though the Government leaders affect to believe that such a possibility is very remote.

It Is the custom of Swiss mountain eers to hang bells on the necks of tbelr cows, and so accustomed and attached do the animals become to these bells that tha deprivation of them is felt as a punishment. If any cow has been guilty of straying or unseemly behavior, a breach of discipline or any vicious trick the displeasure of the herdsman Is not testified by blow, but by temporary deprivation of her bell, and this seldom fails to reduce her to order and to prevent a repetition of the offen.
WIGS AND BEARDS. Bordered on the Grotesque In England In Queen Anne's Time. At the restoration wigs began to bo more generally worn, and in Queen Anne's reign they became the most costly item of gentlemen's wardrobes. Sir Richard Steele's "full buttoned black wig" cost 00 guineas (about $255), and the fashion became so cumbrous that Colley Clbber when playing "The rool of Fashion" to satirize the styles introduced a wig of flax so large that it was brought on the stage In a sedan chair. As a matter of fact, the stagecoach lines were compelled to restrict the length of wig boxes to three feet. John Taylor," one of the English minor poets, thus depicts the beards of bis day: Borne seem aa they were starched and fine, JJke to the bristles ot an angry swine. And some, to set their love's desire on edge. Are cut and pruned like a quick set hedge: Some like a spade, some like a fork, some square. Borne round, some mowed like stubble, some quite bare. Some sharp stiletto fashioned, daggerlike That may In whispering- a man's eye outpyke; Some like a hammer cut or Roman T. These beards extravagant reformed must be; Some with the quadrate, some triangle fashion. 8ome circular, some oval In translation; Some perpendicular in longitude. Some like a thicket for their crassitude: Thus height, depth, breadth, triform. square, oval, round. And rules geometrical in beards abound. National Magazine.
