REV. R. HEBER NEWTON. photographed by Rock wood, N. Y.)

Three of the most prominent clergymen In Now York are R. Heber Newton, rector of All Souls'Episcopal church Howard Crosby, pastor of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church, and John Hall, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. Of the three, perhaps Mr. Newton is most prominently before the public just now, because of his recent utterances to a newspaper reporter on the subject of mind reading. He has always been a man of advanced views, and his series of sermons, preached in the latter part of 1883 and the beginning of 1884 on the "Books of Moses," were considered so heretical by some of his more orthodox brethren of the pulpit that charges were preferred to Bishop Potter by them. But the bishop did not think best to order a trial of the alleged offending preacher, and in fact did not in any way notice the charges, officially, for nearly a year. Then he said Mr. Newton had done nothing for which he should be subjected to trial. But in January the bishop asked that the series of sermons in dispute be discontinued and the request was acceded to. Mr. Newton afterward brought the sermons out in book form. In the recent interview with him upon mind reading, Mr. Newton did not hesitate to say that he believed the societies of psychical research that are springing up all over tho world are doing good, using the statements made in the report of tho London society as a basis for this view. Mr. Newton is a smooth faced, thoughtful man of middle age, and his spectacles add to his countenance an air of studiousness th»t possibly might be missing without them.

REV. HOWARD CROSBY, D. D. (Photographed by Rockwood, N. Y.)

Dr. Howard Crosby is best known throughout the country, perhaps, as the founder of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. Tho work of this organization is practically a crusade against the excessive-use of intoxicating liquor, on the theory that most crime comes from that source. He does not propose the absolute suppression of the traffic— iu fact, he is not himself a total abstainer— but its close regulation by law. And there seems to bo no doubt that his society has accomplished a good deal. Howard Crosby is an effective pulpit speaker. His face is strong and his eyes look out from beneath overhanging eyebrows. His hair and whiskers are liberally sprinkled with gray.

BKV. JOHN HALL, D.n.

•.. (Photographed by Rockwood, S. Y.) John Hall, D.D., was called to lie pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church in 18t7. Born in County Armagh, Ireland, in 1829, he was made pastor in Armagh after hii graduation from the divinity school, and afterward went to Dublin in a similar capacity. At one time he promised to be a leader in Irish Presbyterianism and was made a delegate from the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in Ireland to the churches of the same denomination in the United States. His career since assuming charge of the Fifth Avenue church in New York has been a notable one, and during that time his church and congregation have grown steadily and continuously. As bis face, here presented in black and white, shows, be is a man of immense force,and this is not limited to his mentality, for he is tall and stalwart in body. Perhaps his ministry may best, be described by the word useful, while in the words of one who has studied him: "His wise and practical religiousness is not altogether unlike tho fine piety of tho better spirit, of the Gallican church in the days of Fenelon."

THE GAZETTE: TERRg HAUTE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30 1886.

ABOUT TOBOGGANING.

h. Canada Pastime Becoming Popular ta America. Several valued acquaintances write asking us to publish aq illustrated article telling "all about tobogganing." It would take a long time to do that. There is a cood deal ci it- There are some things about it that nev.ei ^rill and never can get into any newspaper. •To be sure tobogganing is 6imply sliding down a snow and ice hill upon a flat bottomed sled and then walking slowly up bill, only for the fun of sliding down again. But the possibilities there are in that walk up hill are something which it is worth while to stop and contemplate. Ail enthusiast hes written a pretty little pamphlet on tobogganing, and ho is particularly eloquent on the subject of walking up hill. He seem^to know how it is: "Uphill clambered, and as I felt the gloved hand of Dick's younger sister upon my sus- .j taining arm, I^ wished the climb might have been, twice the distance and right here I want to say that if ever a woman looks fresh and young and irresistibly'"^ lovely it is when at the top of a climb up a toboggan slide she stops with her cheeks

THE

road.*1

flushed, her lips parted, and her eyes shining with the exertion of the tramp. At least 1 thought so when I glanced into the glowing faco of my pretty companioa What a sight it was to look back down the slide as we stood at the starting point."

Artificial hills have been made where the natural ones are wanting, and it is said that these are even more successful than the natural ones, being smoother and having a more regular descent. To build one a place is chosen which has some natural descent. Then a» scaffolding of heavy timbers is erected forty to fifty feet above the ground. At the top of the scaffolding a platform is made whence the tobogganists start. Descending from the platform, tracks or chutes are built in which the toboggans ran. They lead to the ground at an angle more or less acute, according to the natural lay of the ground thereabouts. Sometimes as many as four chutes ran from one platform, giving ample room for every adventurous tobogganer. Flaring sideboards are built to each chute, so that the toboggan will not leave the track.

Thus being substantially finished, the slides are next made ready for the revelers. They are firmly packed with snow, rammed and jammed down. Then, to clinch matters, water is poured upon the snow and allowed to freeze. Last of all, this ice track is carefully planed off and swept to make it as smooth as glass. Then it is ready. Down steep slides tlie sled goes with a velocity that makes the head swim. The rato is sometimes above a mile a minute. The track at Saratoga, which is a model in its way, is one of the steepest in America. Perhaps the most famous slide is that of the Teuque Bleue Toboggan club at Montreal. The starting point of both that and the Saratoga slide is forty feet from the ground, the track being lengthened by natural slope of the land to Wiree times that. After reaching level ground, too, it is to be remembered that the gathered impetus of the icy way is enough to drive the toboggan yet three or four times tho distance of the length of the track.

The toboggan itself is made to combine toughness and lightness. It is cwnposed of a strip of wood one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch thick, steamed and bent up in front to keep the slider from slipping forward. Cleats are nailed inside to give it strength. Tho newest end most approved pattern has also three or four wooden strips nailed upon the bottom lengthwise to serve as runners. There are hand rails along tho side to keep the rider from falling off, and the bottom and inside are warmly lined with cushions and fur.

DOWN HILL.

A double toboggan is usually 6 feet long and 24 inches wide. A single ono is 4 to 5 feot long and 10 inches wide. They may be oasily obtained, already made, first class ones, too.

Now for the costume. Of course, either a sunlit or torchlit tobogganing scene would be robbed of half its brilliancy without a picturesque costume for the players. Tho toboggan dress is made of blankets of showy colors—cream, purple, blue, scarlet and orange. These have borders, and when the blanket cloth is cut into the costume the borders are picturesquely arranged. Men wear their blankets fashioned into a blouso reaching half way down their thigh. It is belted around the waist and worn with blanket knee breeches, long woolen stockings that reach to the breeches, and moccasins. Women wear a blanket frock or coat buttoned down the front, and finished with or without a belt. The frock comes to the ankles sometimes, and sometimes not much below the knee, leaving the full blauket trowsers to show underneath, with the warm leggings and moccasins below.

The lady rides in front, the gentleman half lies down upon the toboggan behind her and steers the machine with his toe. The moc-casin-clad foot sticks out behind hira, and a touch of the toe is sufficient to turn the flying sled to right or left. Leather boots are not allowed to be worn to steer with upon a toboggan track. They would destroy its smoothness. Rubber, overshoes or moccasins are necessary.

The costume described is sufficiently picturesque. It is completed at the top by a gay woolen cap or hood, with a long, narrow top, ending in a tassel.

Tobogganing is the fashionable sport wherever in America snow and ice are this winter. It is a most exhilarating pastime, too, far better than any artificial indoor amusement It is set going and maintained by toboggan clubs, which have their own colors in costume, like baseball clubs. The merikbers "chip in" and shara expenses.

If not all, this is at least considerable about V)boeeanins.

THE SCIENCE OF BALDNESS.

Bill Nye Glres Some Hints for Restoring the Hair. Elisha B. Wherry, Battle Brook, writes as follows: "I am hardly 37 years old, and yet I am almost entirely bald. I have recently read in The Popular Science Monthly that baldness is very largely on the increase, and that by actual count fully 30 per cent, of tho men, even at a concert or tragedy, are more or less bald. This number is largely increased, it is said, when the play gets more dash and spirit in it, and tho leading lady throws aside all reserve. "The Popular Science Monthly says that by actual count there were present at Trinity church, Boston, recently, 243 men, of whom 71 were actually bald and 46 with strong indications of baldness Sling's chapel, 88 men, of whom 88 were actually and hopelessly bald, and 14 on probation Hollis Street theatre orchestra, 'Mikado' performance, 63 men-—27 badly bald and 10 who thought they could still be bald or let it alone Boston theatre, Judic, 126 men, of whom 51 were actually bald and 43 apprentices. "This writer also says that baldness is most plentiful in New York and Boston. Next Philadelphia and Washington, after which comes Chicago and the western cities. Can you tell me the cause of baldness and your theory as to its wonderful prevalence! I hope you will pardon me for writing you, but I have learned casually that you sometimes dabbled in science, also in baldness. I would be glad to know if you have suoceeded in finding anything to help your baldness, as I am still young and unmarried. Life is still before me, and I want to go to some one who will tell me frankly whether there is still hope for me or not."

Baldness is liable to break' but in the most unlooked for localities, but I think it is generally inherited. I inherited mine, but I have added to it a good deal

BALDNESS IS INHERITED.

You may not think you have inherited your baldness, and yet if you go back seven or eight generations and exhume your ancestors, you will find that they are, in most cases, totally bald.

I have tried several preparations in my lifetime, all of which'were good for baldness and assisted it very much. These remedies for the hairless are deemed to resemble each other in two particulars, namely: they were all expensive, and all sticky. Some Smelled offensively when first applied, whilo others were more successful after awhile. For several years I dressed very plainly, Eli3ha, using-the balance of my income on tho site of my former hair.

Aa a result of this, my bosom alternately hove with anticipation or fell with disappointment, while my bangs remained unhung and my hat smelled like a volcanic eruption.

Various people came to me with recipes for wooing tho hair out of my glossy intellectual rink. Among them there came to me a gentleman from England named Macrostic, who claimed to have been royal taxidermist for nine years, after which he had acted as chiropodist extraordinary for several years, removing unicorns from the great and small. He said that ho could grow a waving crop of tresses on my bleak and barren brow for five pounds.

He now has the fivo pounds and I still retain my broad sweep of brow. I cannot tell how you can empower your tall sleek forehead in rank, wind tossed hair, Elisha, but I can tell you how you can save $500

Take your hair inVigorator money and buy a town lot in a growing town that supports its home paper and advertises and goes ahead, and you will find in twenty years that you will ba well fixed, and a man who is well fixed don't care much whether ho has any hair or not.

I've seen men with long, rich, wavy hair, which fell in a glorious shower of dandruff on the collar of their overcoats, who were just as unhappy as you or I, Elisha. Hair alone cannot bring happiness. I once knew a man who was very successful, indeed, and was finally male postmaster of his town, and he had whiskers that he had to button insido his coat to keep them from brushing other people's eyes out, and he had hair to sell, and yet when there came a change of administration, and anew president who hadn't an alma mater to lay his jaws to came along, this hairy man was almost the first to fall.

A wealth of hair is a good thing, but tho head was not made solely as a hot bed for the propagation of hair. Baldness is one of the penalties of civilization, Elisha.,. Barbarians are never bald. People who sleep in straw piles and eat their pastor always have all tho hair they can manage. Those who

TtiE TARIFF.

Randall to Try His Hand at a Bili. -v WASHINGTON, Dec. 23—The meeting held last night at the rooms of Mr. Mo Adoo to consider the question of reducing the surplus in the treasury was not very largely attended. There were present Mr. Randall, Mr. McAdoo, and about ten others who on Saturday opposed the consideration of the Morrison bill. After three hours' discussion of the subject it was agreed that Mr. Randall be delegated to draft a bill to be introduced about the first of next month, which will deal only with the reduction of revenue taxes. It was the sentiment of the meeting that it would be dangerous to the protection idea to tinker in haste with the tariff, but devote all their energies to revenue reduction. The opinion of Mr. Randall was that in case a bill interfering with the tariff should be introduced, Mr. Morrison and his friends would take advantage of the opportunity and go further with the tariff reduction than Mr. Randall would desire. The bill will deal quite extensively with tobacco, greatly reducing the tax. The revenue tax on fruit brandies will in all probability be abolished. In the opinion of those present at the caucus there will be enough Democrats to join with Mr. Randall on this issue to carry the bill through. S,

There is some speculation as to the probability of Mr. Morrison, as chairman of the ways and means committee, refusing to report to the committee the proposed bill, to which committee it will have to be referred after Mr. Randall introduces it. For fear of this Mr. Randall will ask that the bill be reported back to the committee within a certain time. Some of Mr, Morrison's friends think he will not offer any objection to*, the bill.
