[AbcFsT (Hair i Vigor I It causes the oil glands in the skin to become more active, makingthe hair soft and glossy, precisely as nature intended. It cleanses the scalp from I dandruff and thus removes one of the great causes of baldness. It makes a better circulation in the scalp and stops the hair from coming out. ll Prevents and ll Cures Baldness Ayer’s Hair Vigor will surely make hair grow on S bald heads, provided only there is any life remain--0 ing in the hair bulbs. It restores color to gray ■ or white hair. It does not do this in a moment, as 1 will a hair dye; but in a I short time the gray color I of age gradually disap- “ | pears and the darker color I of youth takes its place.

TO CLEAN UP HAVANA.

TASK OF SCRUBBING OUT THAT CITY IS A BIG ONE. It Will Require Time to Pnt jtheUnhealth; Cuban Capital in a Sanitary Condition—American Energy Now Bnay with the Great Undertaking. The work of reorganizing the civil government in Havana is now under way, and though the difficulties are naturally great it is encouraging to learn through the report of Surgeon General Sternberg, who has returned from Cuba, that thjj'l Americans are making remarkable headway. Gen. Ludlow has in charge the work 1 of rehabilitation in Havana and his energy has already accomplished much. The sanitary regeneration of the capital is the most difficult problem that confronts the Americans and according to Surgeon General Sternberg the work will require time, patience and money. Under the wise direction of Gen. Ludlow a good beginning has been made and the surgeon general gives it as his opinion that the city will be in such condition by summer as will permit unacclimated persons to live in it. To those who know the sanitary condition of Havana under Spanish rule this means much. The city was really little less than a plague spot. There were foul pools on the streets, spreading their poisonous exhalations underthe tropical sun. The carcasses of dead animals, such as dogs and cats, were gllowed to lie on the streets and decompose until picked apart by buzzards. Vaults in private houses frequently connected with drains just under the pavement along their frontage and these drains of loose brick or stoiie permitted leaks, so that the pavement was rendered foul and unhealthy. Beneath each kitchen stood'a cesspool that emitted its poisonous odors through each building and on the streets garbage was allowed to rot iq the sun. , /4h2 New Havana. But all this is now being changed. Garbage will in future be removed daily, cesspools will be cleaned and closed, sanitary closets connecting with sewers will take the place of vaults and dogs and cats after death will find other resting places than the streets. Naturally, in order to carry out such sanitary reforms in full throughout the city will require a good deal of energy and

time, especially in the building of sewers; and until these are in readiness the system of vaults will remain. But a strict inspection of them will be enforced and the poisonous leaks will be stopped. To instance how unhealthy the condition of life is in Havana the recent experience in the quarters occupied by Gen. Ludlow, near the palace, may be cited. There the air proved so foul that candles were extinguished by it and even cats and dogs, used as they were to the odors of the capital, were suffocated- when forced to breathe it. In carrying out his reforms Gen. Ludlow is experiencing the proverbial conservatism of the Spaniard and for that matter the Cuban. The older residents regard the new health regulations as unnecessary, and well-to-do and well-inform-ed persons in making their objections describe themselves as “healthy enough.” But “healthy enough” for the Spaniard does not mean “healthy enough” for the American and the sanitaty reforms will be carried through until Havana is made as clean and wholesome as the average American city. One fortunate thing is noted by Surgeon General Sternberg, namely, that the health of American troops in and near Havana is good. “Medical officers, however,” adds Gen. Sternberg, “generally apprehend that there will be considerable sickness as the unhealthy season approaches, and strenuous efforts are being made to prepare for a large number of sick in case the military situation makes it necessary to retain a considerable body of troops in Cuba during the summer months. “Orders have been given for the preparation of the Spanish military hospital, Alphonse XHI., which has a capacity of 2,000 beds; also for an officers’ hospital at the Velado and for another hospital for infectious diseases.”

Rockefeller Must Pay.

The application of John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil Trust to have the assessment on his country seat in North Tarrytown, N. Y., set aside was denied in court. The assessors placed the value of his property at $1,000,000, and levied a tax accordingly. Rockefeller declared the amount outrageous and illegal and took the case to law. Many hearings were given and thousands of dollars spent.

More Troops for Manila.

Five more-companies of infantry have been ordered to Manila by way of the Suez canal. The troops selected to make the Journey are: Four companies of the Seventeenth infantry, stationed at Columbus barracks, Ohio, and one company of the Third infantry, stationed at Fort SneHing, Minnesota. The men will leave for New York within a few days and l there board a transport for the Philippines. Scientists say that the orange was formerly a berry, and that it has been developing for over 7,000 years.

Plan for Building the Nicaragua Ditch Approved in Upper House. The Senattr passed the Nicaragua canal bill Saturday. The final discussion of the measure was had on the amendment of Mr. Spooner providing that should the President fail to carry out the instructions in regard to the Maritime Canal Company, he may treat directly with Nicaragua, Costa Rica or any other Central American country looking to the building of an interoceanic canal. The canal bill fathered by Senator Morgan, in a somewhat different form, passed the Senate once before, but failed to receive consideration in the House. The .fight which was made on the bill in the Mtenate was principally due to an attempt lo change certain features of it, some of fcvhieh changes were secured, whereupon the opposition Senators allowed the bill to pass without offering serious protest. One objection raised against the Morgan bill was the recognition given by it to the Maritime Canal Company, which is believed by many to have no valuable rights and little tangible property. As amended the bill aims to protect the Governrtfent from excessive payments in this line. Objection was made also to the part which the United States Government is to play in the matter. The bill provides that the canal company shall have a capital stock of $100,000,000, of which $02,500,000 shall be subscribed by the United States Government. The affairs of the company are to be controlled by a board of seven directors, five to be named by the President of the United States and one each by the Governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. This plan, apparently, would require the modification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Therefore it has been contended by some of the opponents of the Morgan bill that the United States would better proceed to secure the modification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and then, build and control the canal directly, instead of indirectly through a subsidiary corporation.

President Furnishes Advices to Philippine Commissioners. The President has furnished the written instructions to the Philippine commissioners. It is understood that the commission is charged to make a careful investigation of the social and economic conditions of the islands, and of their prospective value to the United States as acquired territory. The commissioners are especially urged to examine into the an-

nexation and independence sentiments on the islands, and also to gather all possible information as to the capacity for selfgovernment.

Poultney Bigelow, Writer and Traveler, on Situation in Eaat, A London dispatch to the New York Herald gives an interview with Poultney Bigelow, the well-known writer and traveler, who recently returned from the Philippines. He is of the opinion that the United States must hold the islands and that the Americans must soon show the Filipinos that they are masters. Mr. Bigelow bewails the lack of business talent among the American officers at present in the Philippines, which, he declares, is required to grapple with and successfully handle the colonial question.

Judge Advocate of the conrt martial convened to hear Commissary General Eagan’s case.

Senator Hart, Populist, introduced a bill in the Kansas Senate repealing the present prohibition law and creating a State dispensary system as a solution of the liquor problem. The bill creates the office of State liquor commissioner, who will bay and dispense all liquor sold in the State. The White Star line steamer Oceanic, the largest ship ever built, was successfully launched at Belfast. The Oceanic is 704 feet over all. Her engines are built for 45,000 horse power, and she has a coal capacity sufficient to enable her to circumnavigate the globe at a speed of twelve knots an hour without recoaling. The Cincinnati Zoological Gardens were offered for sale by order of the court, the lowest price being fixed at $90,000. Not a single bid was received, and the receiver will ask to have • new appraisement made.
