MICHAEL DAVITT'S VIEWS. THE IKISH LKAPEB l'KAIStS THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. rarnell, He Says, Is Politically Dead and the Convention Did Wcl! in Condemning Him A Prediction of His Defeat nt the General Election. Schanton, Oct. 4. Special Michael Davitt, the Irish leader, who is now on a tour of the country tor his health, arrived in the city late last evening and spent to day very quietly at the homes of his two sisters in this city. Mr. Davitt in answer to a question as to his mission here answered that it was purely a personal one, having no political significance whatever. Mr. Davitt stated that he pas-ed through Chicago, but did not attend the convention of the Xa t ional Land League. "If there was any necessity of my being present I would have been there," he said. "Tlie result of the convention was good. It condemned Mr. Parncll and in that it did well." "Why arc so many Irish people so unre lenting'toward 1'aniell?" was asked. "The Irish people will never consent to a leader who has committed the almost un pardonable 'offense of stealing another's wife. The people of Ireland have a high moral stauding,"and I hope it will never be lowered." "Is there a possibility of Parnell ever re gaining his former standing and the good opinion of the people?" "No; his aspirations will never be grati fied. I'arnell has committed political suicide. Despite the efforts of the friends to save him. he is irretrievably lost and tlirer is not the least probability of his being returned to his seat. He has killed him self, and the people will bury him at the next general election." hat will be the outcome of the agita tion now taking root for the abolition of the House of Lords?" "It signifies that in case the home rule measure should be favored bv the House of Commons and not supported by the House of Lords, there will be a mending or ending of this rule of the peers. " In commenting on Gladstone's speech at the Newcastle convention of Liberals, Mr. Davitt said: "I am uleased with the gen eral tone of it, and think the old gentleman grows in enthusiasm with j-ears. Gladstone will be returned bv an immense vote." THE DANGERS OF MOB RULE At Last Recognized by the Chinese Govern ment at Xekln. Sax Fkaxcisco, Oct. 4. The Orerland C;a Jloil, September 3, says editorially: It seems in every likelihood that compen sation will soon be paid by China lor dam ages duiing the recent riots. The French claims at Wubu aie alicady settled.and others will bo amicably adjusted soon. A treaty of the powers, however, finds it more difficult to persuade China to open Huunm at tho time when so many nations are fol low ing the example of the United States in their treatment of China. China is too weak to urotest effectively against this bad treat ment of her .subjects, but the conduct of tho Americans who have bhown hopeless incapacity in dealing with the Chinese has not been observed with indifference Only the other day Li Hung Change sanctioned the proposal of the Chinese Consul nt San Francisco totransferall the Chinese coolies in America en bloc to the gold mines in the Amur district. Meanwhile the Government at Tckln seems to realize tho danger of mob rule. Tendency is being manifested for Military Governors of provinces. Manchus seems to lie afraid of an outbreak. The probability is that the present crisis will pass over. There is not yet sufficient combustibles tor a big explosion, but an explosion seems in evitable. HTJBDEBED BY TBAHPS. Two Young Men Attacked and Itobbed and Ono of Them Shot. EiilE, Oct. 4. SjieelaL' Charles Sturgiss and Edward O'Hara, two young single men, moldcrs by trade, living in Buffalo, started late last night for Erie to spend Sunday. They took passage on a Lake Erie freight train for the purpose of saving the amount of their car fare, if they traveled otherwise. "When they were a short distance from Dun kirk they were attacked by tramps who de manded their money. Tiiey resisted the tramps and one of them shot Sturgiss through the abdomen, and his companion, O'Hara, while attempting to lescnehi'mwas frightfully stabbed on.the back by one of the highwaymen. O'Hara, although weakened by the loss of blood, heroically carried his companion to a nickel plate train and brought him to the hospital in this city. Sturgiss has been baptized and has received the last rites of the Catholic Church. He cannot possibly survive. Tlie highwaymen madi their es cape after they liad robbed their victims. A gang of trampn have repeatedly attacked and driven train crews from their trains in that locality. THE HAZES IS SKEPTICiL. The Weather Bureau Man Takes No Stock in Dyrenforth'sPlan. KO VALUABLE BESULTS SECDEED From the Bain-Producing Experiments That Came Off in Texas. A LEGITIMATE FIELD FOE RESEARCH rSrZCIAI, TELEGEAM TO TIIE DISrATCH. "Washington, Oct 4. Prof. H. A. Hazcn, of the Weather Bureau, takes very little stock in the rain-producing experi merjts now going on, and does not seem to think that the reports, partial as they have plainly been, prove that there is any thing practical to' be expected from the Dyrenforth pla'n. In fact, it shows that tho experiments in the El Paso region were a failure, though it would seem that a time was chosen for them which was most favorable. In regard to the theory Prof. Hazcn says in a general way: "There are two views which have been rather freely advanced regarding the recent experiments in rain production in Western Texas. One of these admits that light sprinkles occasionally followed a few of the explosions, while the other insists very strongly that copious rains frequently fol lowed immediately upon the explosions, or within a few hours, and tries to explain away the failures. MOKE DEFINITE PACTS NEEDED. "It is very much to be regretted that definite observations have not been pub lished, and we may hope that this will be done shortly. Still it seems as though enough had appeared to lead us on the way to a correct conclusion. "We can safely ad mit that when rain was imminent or the air was pretty well charged with moisture, a fine drizzle often followed immediately upon the explosion. Indeed, experiments have already been made which show that such a result may be accepted by scien tists. "It thould be noted, however, that such an admission carries with it the idea that no other result can be anticipated from each explosion. For example, any rain which occurs after a lapse of about ten minutes cannot be due to the concussion, nor can any rain -be due to this which occurs more than 1,000 feet from the spot, or beyond the violent agitation of the explosion. We cannot expect two very dissimilar actions to take place from the same cause. NO VALUABLE BESULTS. "It would seem that the experimenters should decide on just what shall be regard ed as the probable effect of the explosion, and not try to sit on two stools. The evidence is very strong in deed that no valuable results have been or can be obtained by such indiscriminate explosions under ail manner of conditions of the atmosphere as these have been. We must first determine, if possible, the ABC of rain production, and after that we shall be in a oosition to take the first 6tep toward helping nature. "There certainly is a legitimate field for research, and it is much to be hoped that there may be a stimulation to try some cru cial experiments on a strictly scientific basis in fhis enchanting field for research. The expense need not be great. Probably one third the expense of the present very costly trials, in a region where we mav say 'a pri ori one would be certain to fail, would en able us to ascertain most valuable and es sential facts." A CHUBCH "WITHOUT CBEED. It Is for All People Who Believe in Only a Pnre Christianity. "Washington, Oct. 4. Special.' A large audience assembled at the Academy of Music this morning to listen to the first sermon under the auspices of the recently organized "People's Church," of which the Bev. Alexander Kent, for years pastor ot the TJnivcrsalist Churchjis the preacher. Dr. Kent gave an interesting address, ex plaining "the reason for being" of the Peoples' Church, which was in brief that it is to gather in those people who were too broad for creedSj who believed -in pure Christianity and simple justice in the affairs of every-day life. He would bring this Christianity, this idea of the perfect broth-, erhood of man into business, politics and all social life. The church starts out with a large mem bership. Its support depends entirely" on voluntary contributions, and it is said that regular monthly sums have been pledged, sufficient to insure substantial finances. Mr. Kent resigned from his former pastorate on account of his liberal religious views and his devotion to Socialism, or Nationalism, in social and industrial affairs. DEMOCBATS AFTEB POLK. He Is Charged With Trying to Deliver North Carolina to the Hepnbllcnns. "Washington, Oct. 4. Special One of the ablest Southern Bepublicans of the last House was Hon. H. G. Ewart, of North Carolina. He is now in the city and gives some interesting information in regard to politics in the old North State. He says: "Quite a warfare is being waged upon Mr. Polk by the Democratic press of the State, on account of his attitude on the Alliance question. He is accused of being a traitor to his party and in a secret com pact with the Bepublicans, to fur ther the chances of that party. For my part, though, I can see no grounds for the charges, I think he is honest and in earnest. He may hnve some visionary ideas in regard to the sub-Treasury scheme and other financial matters, but lie is a man of good sense. "He is also ashrewd man, and has accom plished this much, that he has placed the Democratic party in that position where it must surrender to the Alliance. The Alli ance will capture the State, but may give the Democratic politicians, who are lawyers, positions on the bench and "the Attorney Generalship." A COLLISION LOOKED FOB Between Thornton Hains and tho Old Father of His Dead Victim. "Washington, Oct. 4. Special A collision is every day feared by their friends between Thornton Hains and Mr. Hanncgan, the former the murderer and the latter the father of Ned Hannegan, trho was shot by Hains some months ago at Fortress Monroe and recently acquitted. It is asserted that young Hains makes it his business to thrust himself in the way ot old Mr. Hannegan and even to stop in 'front of his house and grin and leer at liun as he sits at his window or in the door. He has so annoyed the old man that the latter grows almost frantic at times, and the neighbors sav they will not be surprised an)' day if he attempts to shoot Hains, and in sucli a case that Hains may get the drop on the father and send him after the son. THK SOITTH'S CANDIDATE Tor the Vacant Place on the Inter-State Commerce Commission. Washington, Oct. 4. Special-rhe friends of Major A. B. Andrews, First Vice President of. the Bichniond and Danville Railroad, say they will to-morrow formally present to the'Presiduit that gentleman as a candidate for the vacant Democratic posi tion in the Inter-State Commerce Commis sion, to which place the South feels it is entitled. 3Iaior Andrews is spoken of as being thoroughly versed in railway matters. Meanwhile the iriends of ex-Congressman Clement are not idle, and think their man VPITTSBURG- DISPATCH, will be appointed. Few if any important political appointments are expected before the election. FOB THE WOBLD'S FAIB. An Ancient Bell With a History That Will Be Exhibited There. "Washington, Oct. 4. In 1494 a city was begun in the royal plain of Lavaga,San Domingo, and called Lavega. A church was built at Lavega and a bell was hung in the belfry tower. In the year 1542 Lavega was destroyed by a terrible earth quake. More than 300 yeari passed away. One day a man espied a bell in the branches of a fig tree a para sitic tree that envelops everything in its reach, and which had wrapped its trunk aronud a portion of the belfry tower of the ruined church. Carefully secured in the specie tank of the Clydo line steamer Saginaw, it made the voyage to New York in safety, whence it was sent to Washington, where it now lies awaiting the proper time for transportation to Chicago for the World's Fair. HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS GETS TWO OF THE NAVAT, CADETS BEFOKEA COTJKT-aiAKTIAL. Third Class Men Had Sorno Fnn Making Turtles Oat of Fonrth Class Men, but Were Canght at It The Fun Is Now Ended. Annavolis, Oct. 4. The third class men, naval cadets, had only arrived here on Thursday, the opening of the academy, when they began preparations to haze the fourth class men. Lieutenant William F. Fullam, the officer of the day, walked int6 their room in the midshipmen's old quarters and stopped the fun before it had fairly be gun. He said to the class: "Young gentle men, you had better stop. There are eyes upon vou when vou are least thinking of it."" On Friday, however, directly after the first drill of the year, Xaval Cadets Claude Willis Griffith, of Maryland, Arthur Glvnn Cavanaugh, of Nebraska, and Leland Frier son James, of South Carolina, third class men, proceeded to the quarters of Naval Cadets H. V. Butler, Jr., and W. B. Ghcrardi, son of Commodore Gherardi, to have a little "fun." They got it. They had made Cadet Butler to lie down upon a mattress, another mattress was placed on top of him, and the two mattresses were then lashed together, leaving Butler's head sticking out like the head of aturtlefrom its shell. A sheet was then thrown over the head. Cadet Gherardi was about to be served the same way when Lieutenant Alexander Sharp, Jr., officer of the day. entered in uniform and with sword. Cadet Griffith fainted, but was soon restored to conscious ness. The result was that Naval Cadet Griffith was placed under arrest and con fined to quarters, and Naval Cadets Cavan augh and James were placed under arrest, but not confined to quarters. A court ma-tial has been ordered in the cases of Cadets Griffith and Cavanaugh. . Cadet James gets off with demerit marks. GENERAL SANDOVAL IN NEW 0BLEANS. He Was Not in Mexico During tho Kccent Revolutionary Troubles. New Orleans, Oct. 4. General Euiz Sandoval has been in this city for the last 30 days. He discussed freely the recent outbreak 6n the Mexican frontier. General Sandoval says that although he Is in sym pathy with any movement that may lead to the overthrow of President Diaz, he had absolutely nothing to do with the recent revolution, which was simply a local out burst on the part of the Mexican people. He regretted not being on the spot at the time, for he would certainly have taken a hand in the struggle. The General was very much amused at the telegraphic reports stating that he had. escaped to the moun tains and would soon be captured. He said he would not be surprised in the least to read that he had been shot. General Sandoval has been on the point of returning to his home in Laredo, Tex., but was informed by his attorney in that citv that a warrant was out for him for vio lating the neutrality laws of the United States in the matter of the revolution. He cannot sec in what way he has violated the laws of the United States, as he has been here with his little daughter since August 2. In a few days he will return to Laredo with proof of his stay in New Orleans. A GOOD JAIL EOF FBISONEBS. Seven Men Have Escaped From Clarksburg, W. Va., In a Year. Claeksburg, W. Va, Oct. 4. Special The escape of Thomas Murphy and Biley Abies from the Lewis county jail last week makes seven prisoners who have escaped from that institution during the past year. The others, Wagner, Shoves and Crawford, escaped by hacking their way through the brick walls. Last week a man named Ice and another named Cunningham knocked the guard down, after which Murphy and Abies picked all locks between them and liberty. Ice and Cunningham also escaped, but were recaptured after a hard race and are now in the pen. Last evening Murphy was captured at Westficld, but the others are still at large. An investigation into this last escape shows that Murphy and Abies had been furnished with a crowbar by some outsider, and nearly made their escape just before their last successful attempt. The only extra precaution was to put the men in chains, while but one guard was placed over them. The jail is a new one, and these frequent es capes have aroused suspicion. FBES1DENT FZETA IN TB0UBLS. Tho Feeling Against Him Is Growing and He Is Deserted. City of Mexico, Oct. 4. A Salvador telegram says: The feeling against Presi dent Ezeta is increasing. He has thrown himself into the nrms of the adherents of ex-President Zaldivar. The new Minister of Foreign Affairs, G. Gallegos, was the ower behind Zaldivar, and was cordially mted. This hatred is now extending to President Ezeta, whose partisans have all deserted him. It is rumored that Gallegos is intriguing to make mischief between President Ezeta and his brother, the Commander-in-Chief. Gallegos desires war with Honduras. The assassination of Ayaita by Ezcta's Generals in Guatemala is denied. Milwaukee's Expo, to Bo Open Sunday. Milwaukee, Oct. 4.

Ha'd it not been for the excellent woman's common sense of Queen Victoria and the sound judgment of the Czar, who, in tho moment of emergency, acted in perfect accord, Europe would per haps at this very moment'be in the throes of war. The facts are these: Last summer, when the Emperor William was at Osborne, he one evening asked the Queen to accord him a confidential conversation upon a mat ter of the utmost importance. The request was accorded, and the Emperor said in sub stance: , "I have something on my mind. I seek your counsel. The situation in Germany cannot last 12 months longer. The country cannot bear the financial strain required to keep up its present fighting strength. Socialism is daily assuming more terrible proportions. Germany's allies especially Italy are no longer able to keep up the present pace. Prance, on the contrary, is becoming stronger and stronger, but France is isolated. It is absolutely necessary that Germany -should seize the "first occasion to declare war upon her. The latest moment to which this can possibly be put off is the spring of 1892." HOW THE QUEEN BLOCKED IT. The Queen listened to all the Emperor said, and replied: "As long as I live I firmly hope that peace will be maintained. I am now old, but still I feel that mv last years shall not be saddened by more blood flowine in Europe. Tlie responsibility that rests upon vou is a terrible one. It would, in my opinion, be criminal for any sov ereign or statesman to attempt to precipi tate events." The conversation ended, and the Queen that evening sent for Lord Salisdury and informed him of this strange conversation, and desired him to talk with the Emperor about it. "I am afraid that would only make things worse, your Majesty," replied Lord Salis bury, "for I think if I attempted to discuss the question tlie Emperormight cut matters short by taking me by the shoulders and pushing me out of the window. THE C7VR CALLED INTO ACTION. "No," continued Lord Salisbury, "there is, in my opinion, only one thing to do write an autograph letter to Ihe Czar, tell ing him frankly what has occurred and urging him, in the interests of the peace of Europe, to lose no time in makinga friendly advance toward France, in order to convince Emperor William that France cannot be wantonly attacked. This would cause the Emperor to reflect, and, in my opinion, this is the most effective May of preserving the peace." The Queen at once followed Lord Salis bury's advice. A confidential envoy was forthwith intrusted with the Queen's autd graph letter to the Czar. The Czar fully appreciated tlie critical situation. The French fleet was then in Sweden. The Czar immediately sent an invitation for it to come to Cronstadt, at the same time in viting the French fleet to visit Portsmouth. The rest is already a matter of history. A MONUMENT TO 6ABIBALDI Unveiled With Great Pomp and Ceremony at Nice Yesterday. Nice, Oct. 4. The Mayor of this city un veiled a mi jument to Garibaldi here to-day in the presence of M. Kouvier, representing the French Government. The Mayor said he paid grateful homage to the memory of Garibaldi for succoring France in the hour of need, and he hailed in the patriot the symbol of union and concord between the French and Italian people. Other speakers, among them several deputies, spoke in a similar strain. M. Eanc, speaking on behalf of the French Itepublicans contemptuously re pelled the charge that the Frencli desired to restore the temporal power of the Pope. He begged Italians not to be alarmed. M. Itouvicr expressed similar sentiments. France, he said, was grateful for Garibaldi's assistance. A flag riddled with shot which was exhibited by the Italian societies aroused the greatest enthusiasm. A LETTEB FB0H GLADSTONE. lie Indorses Mr. Scott, of Manchester, Against Sir James Ferguion. LONDON, Oct. 4. Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to Mr. Scott, of Manchester, in support of the latter's candidature for member of Parliament for the Northeast division of that citv. Mr. Gladstone savs his good wishes do not imply animosity to Mr. Scott's antagonist, Sir .Tames Fergu son, but to the Government's policy, which belies its honorable name. x "Unionism," continues Mr. Gladstone, "by creating disunion between the two countries, lias impaired the strength of the Empire. There will surely be incapacity in Parliament to grapple with divers questions of legislation, on all of which a decision is loudly demanded, as long as it is impeded by the controversy on the Irish problem. All considerations are absorbed in the 'im portance of closing this fruitless controversy that divides the country." ITALIANS JUSTIFIED In Their Acts Because of the Insults to the Dead Iting. Paris, Oct. 4. The Journal Dex D(bats, in an editorial on the disorders which took place in liome Friday, protests against Italy making the incident of the insults oflcred by the pilgrims to the memory of Victor Emmanuel a political affair. It says that all right-minded Italians are aware that a majority of Frenchmen regard the idea of the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope as being absolutely chimerical. The bulk of the newspapers of this country justify the attitude taken by the Itoman populace when they learned of the insult to their dead king. Literary anil Art Congress Closed. Berne, Oct. 4. The annual congress of thd International Literary and Artistic As sociation which has been in session at Neu chatel for some time past has formally closed. Tlie delegates from the various na tions represented in the congress expressed their warmest thanks for the many nets of courtf sy shown to them by the local mem bers of that body. Tho Ilucarlnn Diet Indignant. Vienna, Oct. 4. The Hungarian Diet has unanimously adopted a resolution ex pressing its great indignation at the attempt recently made on the "life of Emneror Francis Joseph, and assures him of its deepest gratitude for his escape from death. Fire in London Tills Morning. London, Oct. 5. At a very early hour this morning a fire which had broken out on Mark Brown's wharf, in Fooley street, was burning fiercely. Twenty engines have gone to the scene of the fire. The damage will probably be very heavy. Exhibition ot tho Holy Coat Closed. Treves, Oct 4. The. exhibition of the Holy Coat was closed to-day. Bishop Korum conducted an elaborate service and pronounced the benediction. Manv Ger man aristocrats were present, including an 180L, Austrian Archduchess and the'Duke and Duchess Paul, of Mecklenbnrg-Schwenn. The total number of pilgrims who viewed the coat is 1,923,130. The relic is now en shrined. A NEW FBENCH CABINET. M. Itochefort Talks About the Effect of General Doulanser's Death. Brussels, Oct. 4. The Heornu pub lishes an interview with M. Bochefort on the death of General Boulanger. M.Koche fort said he thought that the death of Bou langer would rather improve the prospects of the Eevisionists, who are forming the nucleus of a great opposition party. They could no longer be accused of aiming at a dictatorship. He would not place himself in the clutches of Minister Constans, who desires to sup press his paper, therefore lie would decline the leadership of his party. He believed the death of Boulanger would lead to the re construction of the Cabinet. Minister ConstinS was not wanted any longer, and Ministers Constans and De Freycinet were always ready to cat each other up. A Boyal Sensation Suppressed. London, Oct. 4. Mysterious press al lusions have been made to a certain high personage who had intimate relations with the Gaiety actress, Lydia Miller, who re cently committed suicide. These allusions are undcrst .od to refer to Prince Albert Victor. The Coroner, the same who hushed up the Duke of Bedford suicide, held a private inquest in the case of Lydia Miller and refuses to allow anyone to liave access to the depositions. KINGSTON'S BROKEN BANK. DEPOSITOIIS RUSHING IV TO LOOK AFTEE TIIEIK MONEY. Many Suspected Persons Are Being Closely "Watched h- Detectives Ostrander and Trumpbour Were High livers Heavy Huns Expected on Savings Banks. Kingston, Oct. 4. Special. The sus pension of the Ulster County Savings Insti tution has been the all absorbing topic on this delightful October Sabbath. Persons against whom a. shadow of suspicion rests are being kept under close surveillance. Their houses are carefully watched day and night, and no positive avenue of escape is left open. Persons acting both in the inter est of the bank and its depositors have se cured the aid of detectives to assist in ascer taining what has become of the stolen money, and who were directly or indirectly interested in the plundering of the institu tion. Large numbers of the depositors in more remote towns of this and adjacent counties, who did not learn of the failure until Inte this afternoon, liavo been flocking to town to-day. Botli Ostrander and Trumnbour have been extravagant and high livers. They feasted on the fat of the laud at the expense of the depositors. On nil sides it is asserted that wine, women and stock speculation have been their ruin. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Kingston Savings Bank it was decided to take advantage of the 60 days' notice.and that institution will not be open for busi ness to-morrow. This will greatly intensify the "excitement, and 'runs on the savings bank are feared. Meetings were held by bank officials last night, and consultations were had to-day to devise plans of opera tions should the predictions be verified to morrow. Messengers have been sent to New York and other places to obtain suffi cient cash to meet the prospective run. CLEVELAND IN STATE POLITICS. He Will Preside at the Flower BatiOcatlon but Won't Take the Stump. New York, Oct. 4. Ex-President Gro ver Cleveland will preside at the first meet ing of the campaign, to be held in this city next Thursday evening, under the manage ment of the Democratic State Committee, to ratify the State ticket headed bylloswell P. Flower. The largest and most accessible hall in the city has been selected Madison Square Garden, with its capacity for 15,000 persons. The news that Mr. Cleveland had con sented to take part in this ratification meet ing was a source of much satisfaction to the many Democrats who visited Democratic headquarters yesterday. Nobodv was more pleased than Mr. Flower himself. Nearly every Democrat who paid his respects to the Democratic candidate expressed the opinion that the party could not afford to have Mr. Cleveland take the stump this fall. Their sentiments were expressed by a member of the State Committee, who said: "Ex-President Cleveland will preside at the initial meeting of the campaign, which is to be held the latter part of this week under the auspices of the Democratic State Committee. IJecognizing the proprieties and the almost unbroken precedents, Mr. Cleveland will probably not be asked to go upon the stump. AVhen the invitation to preside was conveyed to him, however, he said that he could see no reason why he should not preside at such a meeting as is proposed in his own neighborhood and join 111 a demonstration to his townsman and friend, Mr. Flower." A GIBL IN BOY'S CLOTHES. A Toungstown Man Tried to Marry ner, but a License Was Refused. Younostown, O., Oct. 4. Special Miss Eva Wilson and Mrs. F. C. Morgan, of Cleveland, who were captured by the po lice last night and the former placed in charge of her mother, came here last Mon day, securing rooms at the Tod House, where they registered "Misses .Edna and Rev Winslow, Cleveland." During the week they occupied the room but two nights, spending their time with young men and at a disorderly house. A hack driver was shadowed by the police, which led to their capture. When found Miss Wilson had donned male attire. After being allowed to change her clothing the girl was taken charge of ty friends and left for Cleveland. Mrs. Mor gan, who was with her, entered a hack and was driven "awav. While here 'Harry Bay became infatuated with the Wilson girl and tried to secure a marriage license, but was refused, she being a minor. COMBING THE HAIB. The Method Often Causes Baldness, 'hut Consumptives Neer Suffer. Very often it is the way in which a young marr combs his hair that causes him to be bald before his time, says a St. Louis bar ber in the Olobe-Dcnvxrat. For instance, I think the pompadour style, when carried to excess, is a dangerous manner of dressing the hair. And the young man who brushes his hair up stiflly from his temples usually is relieved pf the necessity of that in a i'er years. He will have secured then the high forehead that he has longed for. This de sire for a high forehead often, I believe, causes baldness. The hair should be cut and dressed to suit the demands of its nat ural method of growth. And here's another interesting thing: Have you ever noticed baldness among con sumptives? No; you never have. It is a singular fact, and not easily explainable, that in consumptives the hair is usually very luxuriant on the head, and many time3 it is very beautiful. Business Big hut Unprofitable.

OCMl-D BANISHING CAB H0ESES. An Argument for Electric Cars Eased on the Area of Smell. In an editorial article on "The Area of Smell," the Electrical Engineer, of Xew York, has the following, -which gives nbuud ant food for reflection in regard to the em ployment of animal power on street rail-, ways in larse cities: "Few people realiza how great is the work of the electric car, and the cable car, too, in reducing the nunw ber of horses kept in our cities. President "Wilson, of the Xcw York Board of Health, has recently said that the health inspectors find that the total number of horses in this city is 50,000. The mere substitution of the cable on the Broadway and Third avenua lines will dismiss about 0,000 of those front service, and the streets will be proportion atcly cleaner and longer lasting. "Then the stables are banished also, and with them go many nuisances that no cara can keep under. The horse car stables in this city all have their area of smell, and what that smell is a good many passengers on the Xew York elevated road know in timately. The stench from the stables at Fiftieth street and Sixth avenue makes itself felt pungently for hundreds of feet around, and at some times much worse than, nt others. The public does not yet resent these nuisances as it might, for tl)e horse car has been an enormous boon, but by and by they will not be tolerated."
