HAIR REVIEWER

vas the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first sue
cessful rcstorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none hares 30
fully met all the requirements ncedful for
the proper treatment Of tho hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
IN favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
TO every quarter Of the globe. It's unparal-
lelod success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire Juifiment Of its promises.
The proprietors have ofton been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an efortfor
Its introduction.
Tho uso for short time Of HALLS HAIn
REVIEWER wonderfully improves tho per-
sonal appearance. 1t clcanses the scalp from
NIL impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryncss, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands. and enables
them to push forward new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepare
tions, but remain long time, which makes
its use matter of economy.

An Auctioneer Tells the Grounds of
His Arrest

Morris Marin, the auctioneer who was ar
rested yesterday for violating the ordinance
governing the affairs of those who cry goods
for sale, called at The TELEGRAM Office last
evening and said the following was true
version of the affair: Jerome L. Rice pur-
chased number of articles of Marin for the
sum of S15. and returning shortly after when
a watch was up for sale asked permission of
Marin to bid on the same, with the under
standing that he might turn in his $l5 worth
of goods as part payment. Upon the watch
being knocked off at S3S Rice asked for six
months credit for the difference between the
two sums. This credit Marin agreed to give
by holding both purchases as security, and
secured himself by retaining the same in his
safe. Hence the kick, and Marin says he
will substantiate his tale on next Monday,
when the case comes up in the Police Court
