The detectives have sworn the horse was sixteen feet high, and they are going to stick to it.

The Democratic bosses do not talk that way in the hearing of those Republicans with whom they join iu deprecating the attempt to have the law enforced, but they are scheming just the same to accomplish the one purpose and the Republicans will have the old experience of having been duped and used by the enemy.

A Democratic councilman was talking with me about the saloon law and said that from what he could learn of the sentiment the majority of the saloonkeepers were not opposed to the law or at least to the enforcement of the provisions in regard to closing hours and the connection of billiards and other devices for amusemeut with the business. The majority of the saloons do not have those attractions, and the saloonkeepers feel that the big places on Main street which do have and which do all the all nigh** business that is done Bhould be made to pay more license than the others or the small saloonkeeper doing a com paratively small business should pay less. The oouncilman said that his idea is to fix the license on the gross sales. It was, he thought, the only equitable distribution of the license tax. The small saloonkeeper is taken into but little consideration in the discussion of all such matters as the enforcement of the law but when the big saloonkeeper wants to back up his contention for one thing or another he makes it appenr that arrayed behind him are the 125 or 150 saloonkeepers in the city with their in fluence demanding what is to benefit only a few saloons.

The able lawyers are confident the Supreme court will also decide that the law of 1891 which was intended to supply an omission in the law of 1867 which had been decided ineffective by the Supreme court jn several instances, does not provide for the assessment of the full amount of damages to the railroad companies. The abte lawyers

no doubt the legisla

ture intended to provide for tire payment of all damages, but the construction of the law is that the commissioners who assess benefits and damages are to consider the real estate value of the right of way which the oity may appropriate and not allow for the value of the property to the owner for the special use to which it had been put. But should the higher court sustain the city's position then the company has recourse by appeal to the courts from the decision of the commissioners on the amount of damages. The litigation may consume as much time as the first case testing the law itself and should the city again win it would be confronted with thedilemma that can embarrass oities as well as individuals. The city hasn't the money to pay one-third of what will have to be paid, and sbould the oity undertake to borrow the money it would be an easy matter to cause injunction proceedings to be brought on the ground that the loan would carry th$ city beyond its constitutional limit. 'That Ohio street must be an open thoroughfare there can be no doubt, and it would seem that the politic thing for the railroad people to do would be to assist in solving this problem that has been too much of a task for the city each of the half dozen times it has taken it up iu the past twentyfive years. But the Evansville Terre Haute road is now owned by the Rockefellers, who consider these questions purely from the investment standpoint, and when the question reached them they probably referred it to their eminent legal advisors, and being informed the city could not successfully prosecute the condemnation proceeding the order was given to resist it. If Mr. Rockefeller feels any compunction of conscience for thwarting the best interests of the people of this city he will, no doubt, find relief in adding to his already large contribution to the "conscience fund" by endowing a college or subscribing liberally to some of the funds of his church.

A FEW CENTS.

Jewelry and Wfffs Are Made of the Qneere»t of Crop*—Information, Soma of It of an Odd Character, From a Man Who ]Uake» Thine* of Hair.

It was quite by chance that the writer of this artiole happened cm a man who has spent hia lifetime in the manipulation of human httfr, transforming it into wigs, crowns, frizettes and all the other kinds of 'false'' hair and Reaving it into watch chains, eyeglass guards, bracelets, as well as mounting it in looksts, rings, pins, earrings and brooohes and working it up into all kinds of Qoral designs and emblems. "A charming head of hair on a woman," he said, "is a thing of beauty aud Indeed a crowning glory, but to a hair worker it is of little value. Even the longest hair, before it has passed through the hands of the manufacturers, is well oigh worthless. The hair of a woman's head which is 80 inches in length, for example, would not be worth more than, 60 oents. remember a woman coming into my shop one night and offering to sell her hair. She said she was a seaman's wife, and not having heard from him for many months was in desperate straits for money. She wanted to know how much I would give her for her hair, whioh was of considerable length. I refused to out it off. I wouldn't cut any woman's hair off. It is such a demoralizing, degrading thing to do, and the fact is emphasized when dire need is the cause of the sale. However, I was in a position to obtain her assistance until her husband came back. "We get our finest descriptions of hair," continued,the subject of this interview, "from France and Italy, whence come all shades of blaok and brown. Franco, again, Germany and Spain sup ply the market with brown, light flaxen and red hair. Gray hair, being found in every parcel, is described as universal. "On the continent there are regular hair harvests. During the summer time you can see at every fair peddlers surrounded by girls with their beautiful hair nicely combed out standing in file Waiting their turn. The peddler has in his hands a pair of shears, each girl bends her neck, a few snips, and the hair is off, tied into a wkirp and thrown into a basket standing at the shearer's side. And how much do you think that the girls get for this? A few cents, a guady trinket or a bright silk handkerchief. "Some peddlers travel from cottage to cottage plying their trade, and the same performance is gone through. An average head of hair weighs four ounces. When sufficient hair is accumulated, it is sold to the hair manufacturers, who submit it to a process of cleansing and sorting into various lengths and shades. It is then ready for the wigmakers, who buy it as they require it, paying at the rate of 20 cents or so per ounce for lengths of 10 inches to 12 inches to as many shillings as there are inches for lengths of 86 inches and upward. The greatest demand is for hair from 14 to 24 inches in length. The longest female hair on record is 72 inches.''

The tycoon of Japan once confiscated the hair of a whole province and had it woven into a ship's hawser over a quarter of a mile long. Then he discovered that steel ropes were in existence, and now the cable, composed of the pigtails of the unfortunate Japs, reposes before the eyes of the- curious in Bethnal Green museum.

The gentliMafi interviewed possesses a magnificent trophy of hair, in size some 8 feet long by 2 feet high, in the form of a basket of flowers, every leaf, every petal and every stem of which is composed of cunningly wrought hairs from the human head. How long it took to create it, it is impossible to say, but years unquestionably. He has other similar displays, mostly the work of himself or his son, though they pale into insignificance beside the monument of patience in question.

The working of hair into ornaments has gone out of vogue considerably of late years, but seafaring men even now are great lovers of this form of memento. Naturally their favorite designs assume the forms of anchors, compasses and other things nautical.

One day a gsnfletnan came to the subject of this article and desired him in a most mysterious manner to weave some hair, which ho gave him, into the form of a serpent. The head and tail were to be of gold, and the tail was to be fixed into the mouth. The serpent was to be in two coils and to encircle a gdlden heart pierced by a dagger. In order to thoroughly comprehend the design he had to be let into the secret, and this was the explanation which was offered:

The serpent was to represent the nature of a certain young lady to whom the hair belonged and who had jilted the gentleman in question. The golden heart was symbolic of his pure anil worthy affection, and the dagger showed how deeply he had been wounded. The tail&f the serpent being in its mouth indicated that in ihjuring her quondam lover she had also bitten herself. The jilted swain was most particular about the execution ot the work, sent it back twice for alterations and finally refused to have it at all, perhaps discovering the both os of his schema -—Boston

3 CLUBS AND BUSINESS WOMEN.

A Ftiaaa of tho ftahJeet Which I* Not Often Coimidered, Mrs. Barbara, N. Gtilpin, the assistant busiuues manager of the Somervillo Journal, in a recent paper before the Georgia State Federation of Women'p Olnbs, presented some sensible views upon the value of a woman's club to a business woman, a subject that has not been heretofore much considered. Mrs Galpiu assuii:os that the woman's club should be both educational and social and then asks how it affects the business woman.

To her benefit generally, she replies? to her detriment sometimes. The old saying that time is money is pertinent. If she be in business for herself, she will know how much of this coin she can invest in club life. If she is employed by another, she must consider another's interests. A business woman connected with a club or two will make not only friends, but business patronage. The wider oircie of friends she has the more successful financially she is likely to be. This mercenary view, however, is not the most beneficial. The greater part of hor time is spent in a struggle with bad billc, exacting customers, close bargains and financial anxioty. She gets into a groove of worry out of which she is rarely jostled, and here is where the club proves a blessing. It takes her into a different atmosphere. The lighter vein of life is touched, and she is rested, cheered and made stronger,

An enthusiastic club woman can seldom see any bad effects from club association, but a business woman, often finds them. There is an almost irresistible faseination about club life, and sometimes she is led to give time to meetings at the expense of her regular duties. The fascination increases, and her best thought goes to her club, and so before she realizes it her business interests are jeopardized.

Another point of injury is the amount of time and attention a business woman is often called upon to give to her club friends wlipse own time seems to be comparatively worthless. These friends go into hor office or store and talk' for an horn4 or more on any subject under the sun except that connected with her business, never realizing that this, to her, pleasant call means hurried work the rest of the day for the woman already Short of time. I know at least one woman who lost her position as assistant business manager of a good concern beoause club associates made her office a sort of meeting ground and she was too careful of their feelings to tell them that their friendliness wa& jeopardizing her position.

The advantages of club life to a business woman are many. A womSn with good business ability and a clear head is not a useless member of a club the benefit is mutual The business woman is valuable to the club the club is more so to her, for it gives not only financial benefit, intellectual advancement and social privilege, but the loving companionship and tender sympathy of the real rulers of the world—true women.

Mrs. McCloiK.

Mrs. Virginia Donaghe McClurg of dolorado, the well 'known lecturer, is visiting the east for the benefit of her son's health, which will probably oblige her to stay here for some months. Mrs. McClurg organized the first party, aside from government expeditions, which explored the rains of the cliff dwellers in the southwest For ten years she has made a specialty of these studies and explorations. Mrs. McClurg is not only an archaeologist, but a poet of merit and

Use Lemon Juice.

Lemons are good in all ways when the thermometer is rising steadily. A well known Chicago physician says that if women, housekeepers particularly, would drink more lemonade and use lemon juice instead of vinegar for salad dressing during the hot season they would have a much clearer color and far better health. This same doctor has a wonderfully good opinion of onions as an article of summer diet.

Nervous Prostration.

%'y Jiff'*

fbli Dread DImmc Now Successfully V, Treated* Science Believes In Food Rather Than Stimulation. •vfe prom the Wathington, D. C, Star.

No more deplorable condition of the hnman body can be conceived than that of nervous prostration, when every nerve in the system seems to vie with the others to make you miserable, when even the sunshine irritates you, when the happy prattle of the child distracts the loving parent, when life is haunted by a constant foreboding, when the light of life seems to turn to a smoking, smouldering flame of torture—that's part of nervous prostration, iust a phase of this many-sided disease. As its grasp upon you strengthens you lose, perhaps, the power to walk, to talk, to think, even the power to love. Death would be welcome, but alas! it comes not until the cup of suffering is full to overflowing. Such naa been the experience of Mr. W. Henrich Robb, No. 809 Hew Jersey Avenue, Northwest, whose story is best tola in his own words.

For along time," said Mr. Robb, I suffered horribly with nervous prostration, and tried many physicians and various highly re'commended remedies without experiencing the slightest benefit. Last fall my business called me to Pittsburg, Pa., and while there my mother, who remained in Washington, heard through a friend of some remarkable cures made by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and wrote recommending that I should try them.

To please my mother, and not with any great expectations that they would do me any good, I procured a box. At this time and for along time previous,my condition was most deplorable. My appetite was gone. I ooula not walk alone, and had I attempted to do so would have fkllen. After I had taken the pills I felt stronger than I had for many months. After the first box of pills had been used by me my appetite returned and I was able to eat like a horse. My legs which had seemed to me like wooden legs, and my body which was fast becoming in the same condition recovered their normal condition after the nee of Pink Pills."

In cases of this kind they act in the capacity of a food, nourishing th« nerves and creating new blood and tissue. It is to the weakened nerves what bread and beef are to the muscular system. It supplies them all the properties necessary to buiia them up, strengthen them and restore them to a vigorous, healthy condition. ,r

This is undoubtedly the real secret of the marvelous power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Pale, nervous, emaciated people who take them quickly gain a fresh, healthfM color. Their flesh and muscles become firm and solid. No medicine alone will produce this result. «-. 3 V.1»a4 liAaUk.mtnniT

exactly this requirement. No better proof this could be offered than that diseases which heretofore have been supposed to be incurable, such as locomotor ataxia and paralysis succumb to this wonderfhl remedy as readily as the most trifline ailments.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood andrestore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for CO cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50.
