From the Detroit Free Press.
There were perhaps forty men in the
lower corridors of the City Hall at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, each one asking for
1.-The latest" when all of a sudden an indi-
vidual came rushing in, hurried along the
corridor, and was going up stairs, when
some one yelled out:
Anything new?'
''YesP' he gasped, trying to get up
stairs.
Hold on Don't let him go Give US
the news p' yelled the crowd.
I'm in hurry /" he replied, trying
again to move on.
he found he must do it. Standing on the
stairs he unfolded the paper and read in a
loud voice:
Tom Collins complains that dead dog
has been lying in front Of his house for the
last four days"
Then the crowd fell back and let him

The American Cyclopadia.

Within the last ten years the progress OF
discovery in every department of knowl-
edge has made a new work of reference an
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar mo.
ment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last vol
ume of the old work appeared, has happily
been ended, and a new course of CONNER
cial and industrial activity has been COM
menced. Large accessions to our

The great political revolutions of the last
decade, with the natural result of the lapse
of time, have brought into public view
multitude of new men, whose names are in
every ones mouth, and of whose lives
every one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and import
ant sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only in the newspa-
pers or in the transient publications of the
day, but which ought now to take their
place in

In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim Of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish

coveries in science, of every fresh produc-
ton in literature, and of the newest inven-
tions in the practical arts, as we'll as to give

With the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application Instead of foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a

MAJOR RICHARD HOUSTON, THE HALF-oENTU-
RY INMATE OF AN ASYLUM FOR THE IN
SANE.
Major Richard Houston, who for fifty-four
years was an inmate OF the Pennsylvania
tuition last Friday evening. The Major was
born in 1876, in Savannah, Ga. His early
tendencies were martial in character, and
he Joined the regular army as a private,
from which position he rose to the rank Of
major. He did some service in the early
part of the War OF 1912, and would proba-
bly, have been distinguished on the pages
of history but for his untimely mental af-
Fiction He was the superior officer of
General Winfield Scott and was so warm q
friend of that soldier that the latter chose
him as his second in duel which he fought
in Natchez Mississippi. The affair of hon
or was brought about by Scott's attachment
to lady who was already the affanced
bride OF one Lieutenant Wimbledon. 1t
was desperate contest, and resulted, af-
ter a second fire, in the serious wound
ing of the general He was shot in the
forehead, and the disfguring mark was
perceptible till the day of his death. The
climax of the meeting seems to have been
the initial cause of Major Houston's lunacy
symptoms of alarming mental disorder, and
when in a lucid moment, his condition
dawned upon him, he resigned his commits
sion and came to Philadelphia. Some
friends subsequently put him in the Penn
sylvania Hospital, at Eighth and Spruce
streets, in 1924. In 1858 he was taken to
to the asylum across the river.
During forty years the majors board was
paid punctuslly by some person or persons
in New Jersey, but for the last fifteen years
he has been pensioner on the institution.
His many gentlemanly traits, interesting po-
etc disposition, the fund of anecdote which
he possessed, and the general jolly nature
of the man made him favorite with his at
tendants and the physicians of the institu
ton. 1t WAS his custom every morning to
collect his fellow-sufferers and "put them
through" the process of broom-handle
drill. Since 1860 he recalled nothing of his
former life. He had no premonition Of
his death, and only two hours before he
breathed his last he requested Of Mr..
MealeY, his nurse, "a chew of tobacco. "
