'“kaiing (leaves Give warning oi Winter So the falling of the hair tells of the approach of age and declining power. No matter how barren the tree nor how leafless it may seem, you confidently expect leaves again. And why? Because there is life at the roots. So you need not worry about the falling of your hair, the threatened departure of youth and beauty'. And why? Because if there is a spark of life remaining in the roots of the hair AYER’S HAIR VIGOR will arouse it into healthy activity. The hair ceases to come out: it begins to grow: and the glory of your youth is restored to you. tye have a book on the Hair and its Diseases. It is free. Tha Bui 4</r/c« frww. If you do not obtain all the benefit# you expected from the uso of the Vigor, write the doctor about It. Probably there is some difficulty with your gen- | eral system which may be easily removed.

’ MOBILE not crowded. Shafter Replies to Criticism* About the Transport’* Condition. Washington, Aug. 22.—Some complaint reached the war department con- I cerning the bad sanitary condition in i the transport Mobile which arrived at | MontaukjPoint a few days ago from 1 Santiago. The ship, it was charged, was overcrowded and the sick on board | were not properly or adequately pro-I vided for. The department communi-1 cated with General Shafter on the sub-, ject and in response to the dispatch received last night the following explanation from him: Referring to your telegram about overcrowding the Mobile, her captain reported that loaded as she was going to Poato Hico, she eon Id carry 3,000 and that she could carry 2.U00 comfortably. I do not consider a few less than 1,700 aS too many. She was carefully inspected by a board of officers and doctors, and members of the board state she was not overcrowded. Accommodations for officers were, however, somewhat deficient. The large number of deaths can probably be accounted for by the fact that this brigade took nearly all their sick with them; greatest care has been taken in this respect Transports have been loaded with from 200 to 300 less than same ship brought down. M’KINLEY NOT PRESENT. President Could Not Leave Washington on Account of Public Duties. New York, Aug. 20.—The following from President McKinley was received by Mayor VauWyck yesterday, which explains his absence from the naval review today: Hon. Robert A. VanWyck, Mayor New York City: The cordial invitation which you have extended on Irehalf of the citizens and officials of New York for the celebration on the 20th is deeply appreciated, and I sincerely r.-gret taat public duties will preclude an absence from Washington at that time. It would be a great pleasure to unite with the people In giving a home welcome to the officers and men of the American fleet, who return with such signal honor tor themselves and their country after a memorable campaign of blockade and battle, but some future day J hope to make a personal visit 'o the stations of the soldiers, sailors and marines to show, if only m slight degree, my ar preciation of their heroic services to the nat’on. I cannot be present on Saturday. lam glad to have an opportunity of expressing my hearty sympathy with New York’s tribute to the fleet. William McKinley. The toll on an ordinary ship passing through the Suez canal averages about Si.ooo. The distance is 92 miles.
