PRE-EMINENT

A S an elegant hair dressing stands Par
"A ker's Hair Balsam, deseryedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and its
healthful, cleansing and healing properties
Commencing at the roots, it promotes lux
uriant growth of young hair, and unfailingly
restores gray or faded hair to its original
youthful color, giving soft, rich and lustrous
appearance of great beauty. 1t is pleasantly
cooling to the scalp, cleanses it from Dandruif,
cures itching and humors, and stops falling of
the hair. 1t is perfectly harmless, exquisitely
perfumed, never soils the skin or gums the
hair, and plesses everybody by its many ex-
cellent and attractive qualities. Buy bottle
from your druggist, Joseph B. Boyle, or A.
II. Huber, and test its merits. jan 10

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Tramps Take Possession Of Winches.
ter Cemetery-0utrageS Com.
mltted bat NJ Ar.
rests Made.

During the past week tramps have
committed any number Of outrages in
and around Winchester cemetery, which
is within the limits of the city. 1t is a
lsmentsble fact that the tramp nuisance
is permitted to continue, and that no
efficient efforts are made to abate it. A
few days ago as a lady was passing along
the street at Winchester cemetery she
was talted by a tramp, who leisurely
robbed her OF a number Of packages
containing articles she had purchased
and was carrying home. The lady saw a
crowd Of negroes and white men in the
cemetery, but found it useless to appeal
for aid, as they were evidently confede.
rates of the robber, who after securing
his booty leisurely walked away. Ths
tramps in large numbers have made
headquarters at Winchester cemetery.
They use slabs aHd tombstones for seats,
and have converted a vault into a
kitchen. There they cougregate and
plan robberies and other crimes. feeling
secure from all arrest, detection or pun
ishment. Not only at night, but even in
daytime these tramps 90 about and com.
NIT depredations. Saturday one OF the
tramps visited a residence near Winches.
ter and asked the lady for a meal. She
informed him that she had nothing pre-
pared, but was coolly ordered to cook
him a dinner. This the lady was conn
PEELED to do, the tramp in the meanwhile
making himself at home, and evidently
enjoying the proceedings. give me a
bowl of water and a clean towel" de-
manded the tramp, and this was com.
piled with by the lady. Damn it, get
me a comb; do you suppose | will eat
unless | comb my hair? l know your
husband is away, and you have got to
obey me-" continued the tramp. The
lady furnished the comb, and after the
tramp had smoothed bis hair he ate the
meal. Ho then remained an hour or
more 10 the house, to the great alarm Of
the lady, who finally managed to escape
through the back door. In view of these
alarming outrages it were we'll that citi.
zans be on the lookout aud protect
themselves from these roughs, thieves
and robbers. 1t is unsafe for children or
ladies to pass by Winchester cemetery.
tor there's no guarantee that either their
person or property will be exempt from
violence and injury. How long such
outrages will continue cannot be told.
Probably a meeting of the police com
missioners to Investigate the matter
would result in the declaration that the
statement of these facts is a gross libel
upon the efficiency of that important de-.
psrtment.
