A LIVELY Row.

A lively row occurred in Drivers restau-
rant last night about 1890 between some
drunken men who got into difficulty and
proceeded to make things lively for about FIVE
minutes. 1t appears that gentleman was
sitting at a table in the bar room when two
drunken roughs made an assault on him and
the crowd assembled taking sides A first class
row was started inside and after the men hsA
been put out was taken up again on the side
walk, until the appearance of the police
caused all parties concerned to take flight.
Mr.. Driver told'a a policeman that the men had
tried to gain access to his saloon, and upon
his refusal to admit them they started this
row. Later Mr.. Driver told REPUBLICAN
reporter that there had been no row in his
place. but that one occurred on Fourteenth

From Congress to Gambling Hell.


In yesterdays NerS we printed an article
relative to gambling in high life in Washing
ton. 1t may not be generally known, but it is
nevertheless true, that within ten blocks of
the capitol, and almost within the shadow of
the patent office is located one of these gilded
palaces of sin. 1t is sumptuously furnished,
and none but the richest men of the highest
social standing are permitted to cross its
portals. No one of the common or vulgar
herd is ever permitted there. The proprietor
and presiding genius of the place is Ken
tuckian, and man with history. He was
at one time member of the highest legisla-
tive body of this state; lawyer with large
practice, and for a while the editor of lead
ing paper in northern Kentucky popular
preacher in the Christian church afterward
u member of congress from western state; a
blood relative of a president of the United
States, and a connection of gentleman ofthis
city who occupies a position of some promi-
nence mere. He is described as an educated
and accomplished gentleman, and man of
rare talent. He dislikes his present occupa-
tiOn, and is fully as conscious as anybody else
of the disgrace attaching to his calling. But
he claims that when he came to Washington
from the west he was enticed into similar
establishment and fleeced out of every dollar
he had in the world. He now declares that
he will never leave Washington until he gets
"even."
The "true inwardness" of life in Washing
ton would make book a great deal larger
and vastly more interesting than Benton's

NJ. Apnoport,a nldeous Grimes.

Paris Liter 10 the LtOdD0Ol Courier.
The hideous murder of Mile. Appoport by her
own father, and his subsequent suicide, which
took place recently in the Rue de Richelieu, is
causing the greatest excitement in Paris. NJ.
Appoport was rich diamond merchant. His
wife had left him, and he lived almost alone
with the sad victim of yesterdays tragedy, a
beautiful girl of is, against whom, notwith-
standing the slanderous gossip of the neigh
bors, there is no evidence of misconduct or
lightness of character. Beyond the fact that
the concierge saw the poor young lady at the
window aud heard her cries for help, no human
tongue can ever tell the true story of this dis
NAL murder. Two minutes after he had cut
his daughters throat NJ. AppOport had blown
his brains out with a revolver. One son of 10
remains, who is at present laid up with ty-
phOid fever. Nine. Appoport still lives in
Paris, and is well known among certain set.
She was the lady who was maltreated in the
shuttle between M, Paul Deroulede and NJ.

the 0dean some time ago, M. Appoport leaves

these officers could not justify theuselves.
they were nevertheless aggrieved, and chal-
lenged the offender. This gentleman refused
to accept the challenge, alleging conscientious
scruples. The matter was referred to a couet
of honor, and the court decided that the Off
Ger challenged must fight Thereupon he
called upon his colonel and informed him of
his desire to resign his commission, as he was
suffering from a neuralgia affection of the
heart. In reply the colonel suggested that he
had probably refused to accept the challenge
because he was in i'll health and nervous and
mentally debilitated through sickness. The
officer, however, not only declined to adopt
this suggestion, but again declared that under
no circumstances whatsoever would he engage
in duel. Thereupon the matter was again
referred to the court of honor, with the result
that the poor man, instead Of being allowed
to resign his commission, was dismissed from
the service.

Bill McMulIen's Bald Head.

Alderman William McMulen writes to the
Philadelphia Sunday World for a cure for
badness and is answered as follows:
We cannot recommend any positive cure
for badness, as bald head is beyond help,
but if you have any hair left and desire to
retain it, and will follow our advice, you need
never lose another hair from the top of your
head. The cause of badness is the habit men
have of pulling their shirts and nightshirts
off over their heads. There are some who
will laugh at this idea, but it is not intended
that they should, as this is not funny article.
This is business. The pulling of a shirt or
nightshirt off over the head causes friction
on the scalp which in time sears the roots of
the hair and leaves a barren plain-a Sahara
forever after. Suppose the nightshrt comes
to mans feet, there is from five to six feet
of tail to be drawn over the tender hair,
which, kept up for series of years, would
wear out any head of hair. Add to this the
friction from taking off the shirt, and then
the natural scratching of the head for ideas
&c, and the hair has no rest, and the wonder
is that there is a man left who has spear of
hair on his head. Now, the preventive is
for men to walk out of their nightshirts
the front way. Women are never bald, and
some sneering men account for the fact by
claiming that women do not have brains to
become bald. That is bare faced lie. Women
have more brains and better quality than
any bald headed man ON earth. But they dc
not wear their hair OFF by pulling their gar.
ments over the head. They open the storm
door of their garments and walk out into the
| light of day, and never disturb hair. This
we state upon information and belief, and il
we are wrong we can easily be corrected
| 1T is alleged that they get out O
their dry goods different from men
and thereby make great saving in hair
Taking all the facts, there is one sensible way
for men who desire to retain their hair, and
that is to break off the destructive habit O.
pulling their garments off over their heads
They may have to be instructed in the bes
manner OF getting out of nightshirt without
using the head for pivot, but that can bt
arranged. Let societies be formed, classes, i
you please, and secure teacher to illustrate
how to take of nightshirt the front way. L
our discovery is acted upon bald-headed mer

Transportation OF Indian Supplies.

In reply to recently published statements
rejecting upon the management of Indian
Commissioner Price in the matter of trans
porting supplies to the Pine Ridge agency
officers of the bureau of Indian affairs say that
previous to last July supplies for the Pine
Ridge agency were landed at Rosebud land
ing, 1913 miles away, which was then the near
est point TO which supplies could be brought
by steamer. Since then the Fremont, ELI
Ridge, and Missouri valley railway company
have extended their line to Thacher, 13s
miles from the Pine Ridge agency, and since
July this place has been made base of sup
plies instead of Rosebud landing, for the rea
son that it is sixty miles nearer, Mr.. Prices
friends say that no relation of his has any
interest whatever in the transportation o.
these supplies.

session was short and was mainly devoted to
considering the case of Sergt. Kelly, Of Fort

whether the United States should yield juris-
diction in this case to the state courts and
thereby establish precedent with regard to
crimes committed on government reserva-
tions. No final conclusion was reached.

to this address in silence, measured Mr.. Dex-

was Il gentlemanly slugger and did not want
to thrust his attentions upon so courteous and

the same evening found some one who made
no such appeal to his sense OF poiiteness' Inc
moral of this is that sluggers should strike
first and confer with their victims afterward.
