SCARE IS QUITE GENERAL
AND IN CHICAGO THE DEPART MENT STORES ARE ANXIOUS TO GET RID OF THEIR SUPPLY OF FALSE HAIR. You Richmond girls who wear "rats" in your hair (and there are quite a few) beware, for it is believed that dreadful diseases are contracted by the mere wearing of the little beauty adorners. The report comes from Warsaw. Indiana, that a woman in the neighborhood of North Webster, is afflicted with leprosy, and it is be lieved that the most terrible disease Known was contracted simply by the wearing of "rats" in her hair. It has been impossible to verify the rumor or ascertain the name of the woman. it in said that a similar case exists in Chicago and another in Detroit. In both cases the origin of this incurable tlisease is attributed to the wearing of false hair. So rapidly have the reports spread that large department stores in Chica go are now offering their entire sup ply of hair goods at a greatly reduced price it is said, believing that a movement will soon be started to do away with the wearing of rats and false switches, altogether. An Undesirable Fad, The present stylo of hair dressing, which was started In a modest way several years ago, has reached a stage where practically every woman feels that her hirsute appendage is incom pletc without a great quantity of false hair. At first the new style of hair dressing was scoffed at by the more sensible women, but today these same women are slaves of the fad. The idea of wearing "rats" was undoubtedly conceived for the benefit of girls and women who were somewhat shy on natural hair, but the mania for bushy heads grew so rapidly that soon they were all stuffing in rats and piling false hair on top. The practice not only offers the opportunity of contracting contagious diseases, but is un healthy it 1h said, and causes the fall ing out of natural hair. It is Bald that a young girl, whose homo is near Greenfield, has recently broken out with a skin disease, as the result of wearing false hair and the re port is current that she is. suffering from leprosy. Efforts to establish her identity have been futile up to the present time, but the mere rumors in this regard recent ly furnish food for thought for the local girls who would have bushy heads and give heed to the danger that results from tho practice so frequently indulged in.

ARMY ADVANCES ON CITY FEARING THAT CAPTURED VESSEL WILL BOMBARD THE CITY, HEAVY INTRENCHMENTS NOW BEING THROWN UP. (American News Service) Managua, Feb. 11. Managua is in a panic as the result of the capture of the steamer Managua by a band of rebels. Fearing an attempt to bombard the city, machine guns and heavier field pieces today were stationed on the shore of the lake. Arrests in connection with the seizure of the vessel were made today. Relatives of Alexander Solorzano, who headed the capturing party, are under arrest or surveillance, and the authorities are making every effort to find those who furnished the conspirators with woman's clothing, in which some of them succeeded in getting aboard the vessel and aiding the rest of the party by advance work. The radicals refuse to credit the government report that three of the plotters were killed when the ship was fired on as she drew away from the shore. PUSHING ON MANAGUA. San Juan del Stir., Feb. 11. Gen. Chammarro ami Gen. Macis of tho revolutionary army are pushing on to Managua from Muymuy, which they captured from an inferior force of government troops, according to dispatches received today.

Miss Dorothy Hesler, of Chicago, who caused a sensation at the courtmartial of Surgeon A. II. Robnett, in Boston recently, by announcing that Dr. Robnett is her fiancee. Dr. Robnett was tried for aggressive conduct toward Dr. Cowles, a civilian, and his defence was that Cowles had been obnoxious to Miss Hesler. In explaining why Dr. Robnett had a right to defend her, Miss Hesler let the cat out of the bag amid much blushing. Dr. Robnett, whose picture is shown with hers, was as abashed at the announcement as Miss Hesler herself.

PEOPLE TOO WISE TO FOOL
SPEAKER TURNS LINCOLN'S FAMOUS PHRASE APTLY IN A COMPLIMENT TO PUBLISHERS' INTELLIGENCE. Indianapolis, Feb. 11. Senator Albert J. Beveridge found a new turn to the old Lincoln aphorism, "'You can : fool all of the people some of the time, j you can fool some of the people all of ! the time, but you can't fool all of the ! people all of the time," at the banquet , of the Indiana Republican Editorial as-! sociation last night in the Claypool hotel. As Senator Beveridge stated it I in one of his most stirring and Vigor- j ous efforts, "nobody can fool all the people any of the time." With this as j a premise his advice to the republican j editors of the state was to tell the truth and let the democrats try to fool , the people if they cared to. The ad- I vice struck a responsive chord and the hearers applauded the sentiment igui-. ously. J "I do not believe that the American i people are following leaders." said Senator Beveridge. "I do not believe that any group of leaders controls voters, but that voters are controlled by that great leader of the universe, conscience and judgment. I'pon this conception of the political party let us go to the people as our fathers did when this party was founded, upon ideals so high that factionalism could not be seen from the supreme heights. Urges Truthfulness, "Some person asked me what I thought the policies of the newspaper men ought to be. I gave it considerable thought and the best I could do for a suggestion along that line was this-I think your policy is to tell the truth. Leave it to the opposition press to play little politics. Leave the little personal falsehoods to them. That will lose them the confidence of men and women and discredit them in their fight. "Lincoln said. 'You can fool all the people some of the time, you can fool nmp of tho npnnlo u II nf trip timP hilt vou can't fool all of the people all of flip tiinp ' T b.iv thnt mihndv i-un fool all of the people any of the time. The judgment of man in the mass is absolutely unerring in the end. Let our ! policy he simply to tell the truth, stand by it. and abide the results. As a mat-! nt fa Bh-,Trth i nrm ihat larger truth which is known by tne word sincerity. You gentlemen are , its torch-bearers. You occupy the greatest position among men, being able to hold up to the people the torch of sincerity and truthfulness from day to day, from week to week, and during every month of every year. Many men do their business for cash, but if you do your work in the greatest sincerity, keeping before you the ideals of truth, you are serving the minds and souls of your fellows. Let us go forward with perfect fearlessness telling the truth not only as to our deeds, but as to our purposes. An Overwhelming Debt. "My indebtedness to the country editors of the state is overwhelming. It is you who have injected strength Into the party all the time. It is you who have been my chief support.

A FOUR LECTURE SERIES An interesting course of lectures on "Child Study" has been announced and will be given by Prof. T. B. Birch. Ph. D. of Wittenberg College, Springfield, O., in the Sunday school auditorium of the First English Lutheran church, beginning Monday at 7:43 p. m. and continuing for four successive Monday evenings. This series of lectures is an application of the University Extension principle to Religious Education. Touching as it does the very heart of home problems as well as the basis of all school work, it promises to be of particular interest and value to parents and teachers as well as older scholars. It is alleged that if parents and teachers would study the children more, juvenile courts and reformatories would have less business and schools and churches would be more prosperous and successful. Prof. Birch, while a specialist in this department of work, has the fine art of making Intensely interesting and profitable this line of study to the average man and woman. This course promises to be very popular with workers in home, school, and church, and all will be wrelcome to participate in the advantages offered on equal terms.

Miss Alexander is the only daughter of Mrs. Alexander, whose home is at Ko. 4i' West Forty-seventh street. Shewas introduced to society two years ago and was at that time a member of ihe Junior League, and had a prominent part in the entertainment given ihat year at the Plaza. She has traveled extensively with her mother in Europe, and in the last two summers ni this country they visited the Yellowstone Park. Alaska and points of interest on the Pacific slope. Seldom in Washington. Mr. Roosevelt, during the years when his father was president, was seldom in Washington, except in his holidays from school and at Harvard.

S PUBLIC HOLIDAY Saloons and Banks in This City Will Be Closed Tight Tomorrow. INVESTIGATION IS MADE Is tomorrow, Lincoln's birthday, a ega noidavv There seems to be some question in regards to the matter in the minds of the city officials. The doubt was oc casioned by the discovery of Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, who in looking over the Indiana statutes, found that the days to be known in Indiana as legal holidays for public offices left February Li out of the reckoning. The mistake was doubtless simply an oversight, but however, the fact that that date is left out makes it illegal it is said, to close municipal offices on that day. An attorney stated that he had looked up the law on the subject and declared that Lincoln's birthday is a legal holiday insofar as the issuing of
