Is absolutely the only article that will make hais
grow on bald heads, and cure all diseases OF tho
skin and scalp. This is broad assertion, but the
facts in the case warrant us in using strong Ian
guage as we have abundant testimony that CAA-
BoIISE has cured some OF the very worst cases
where the family physician had acknowledged
that he could do nothing.

Wcathersby's Froliques have had fine
houses at every performance this week, and
could haye run Hobbies" with success to
the end of the week. But the management
desires Cincinnati to see the company in
another piece, and tonight we are to have
the musical extravaganza "Ramblers."
No description can convey an accurate
idea of what the piece is. Sufficient to say
that it is after the manner of Hobbies, "

tural history; while there are more than
we can name OF papers on field sports
in wild regions, on travels in the Slerras
in the Stickeen River region, and we
know not where besides. There are
ANTIQUES like "Old Maryland Manners,
"The CGf-Dwellers," "The Old Mill at
Newport" "At the Old Bulls Head, "
and delightful holiday articles, descrlp-
tive of camping and jaunting. The
Symposium on the Chinese Question,
and the Rudder Grange series, are all
that heart could wish in the way OF hu-
NOR.
But we have said more than enough
TO suggest the wide range, the many
sidedness of this phenomenal magazine.
Let us only add that its engravlngs are
in many cases real works OF art, that II Is
in some sense a Fine Art magazine, en-
listing here the highest talent without
regard to expense. How much more Is
such a magazine worth than the old state
conventional periodical OF literature and
sentiment 1t is full of the fresh life
that has come into American literature
and art since the war, and of the fresh
vigOr found to-day in every department
of human activity on this continent.
The author to whose lot shall fall the
task in some future age OF writing his
tory of American life and names IN
our time, will have an easy stint OF 1t.
There will be no need of housing over
old biographies and musty tracts for In
formation. Our time is faithfully mir
rored in the pages of Scribner's Magazine.
One can learn here the ever-changing
phases of theological, political and
scientific opinion; one can see the pre-
vailing taste in art, in letters, in drama
tic representation the machinery, the
discoveries, the philanthropies, the hui
mors, the sentiment, the poetry, the
STORYTELLING of the last quarter of the
nineteenth century are well represented
here. To him who will understand the
drift of his own time, and to him who
will enjoy himself in his time, ScribneI's
is simply indispensable, 1t would be
wonder If il were not the rage.

SENATOR JONES, HENRY HAvEMEYER AND OTHER
PROMINENT MEN INTERESTED IN 1T.
Persons largely interested IN mining enterprises

iishment in this city of new + -chsngo for deal
ing in mining securities. II. c. Logan, United
States Senator John p Jones, ex-senator Mcdonald,
William +. Shaffer. Henry Hayemeyer, George
Chairman and Stephen B. Elkins have been strong
friends of the project. At first IL was proposed TO
make the Exchange a do-sr'ment of the
Stock Exchange, but special committee
of the latter reported adversely The
friends Of the enterprise then resolved TO
establish an independent Exchange. Seats
are offered at $1,000 each. and IL is
claimed that 200 applications have been
already received. The annual dues will be $50
from each member.
IL il proposed also to create trust company, In
dependent of the Exchange, for loaning money on
mining securities The new Board will be organized
under the charter of the Public Exchange,
granted several years ago. which the committee
has secured. Rooms for the temporary use OF the
Board have been taken in the Boree Building, No.
