HAIR OIL NOT USED.
Ladies Taboo 1t Entirely and 1t Goes Out OF
Market.
New York Mail and Express.


New York Mail and Express
'Ten years ago ladies used great deal OF hair
oil and grease on their hair, but now it is no
longer in market" remarked dealer in hair
dyes and cosmetics uptown.
''Why is that9" asked reporter.
They found too much grease made@their- hair
come out and that condemned it. A lady can
anticipate many disagreeable possibilities with
frmness, but to wait calmly to grow bald
headed is too much for their endurance. So
they dropped the hair OIL We sold years ago
at least 100. hotties of hair oil day, and
to-day we do not sell single bottle Hair oil is
now used by dudes and fashy men in order to
insure good comb. The city is filed with pre-
maturely bald-headed young men, But the
women think too much of head of hair to sac
rifce it to oil. The great desire now is to get
a fluid that is entirely free from grease to
use on the hair. Several preparations have
been invented. They use this to dampen
and make their hair fluffy. The Langtry
bang is going out of style, and the hair is
combed up on the head, so some dampness is re-
quired to make it dress easily Oil was once the
only thing used, but now harmless fluids have
supplemented it entirely. The head furnishes
enough nutriment to each strand of hair, and in
some even too much Putting grease on the
hair does not make it healthy nor impart vital
ity to its growth. On the contrary, it clogs up
the scalp, and frequently causes the hair to fail
out. The days of hair oil for ladies have
passed"

JOHN wEsLEY's ooUErsHrP.
How the Great Preacher Failed with II
Mafdens and Fell to Widow.


Brooklyn Eagle.
Rev. John Wesley, the founder of Methoiisn1s
had number of ridiculous love scrapes, which
his admirers have hard work to explain. When
he went to Georgia to convert the Indians, his
usefulness was suddenly cut short by q series OF
events in which a womans name is mixed up.
He was indicted by tho grand jury for having
broken the laws of the realm, first by speak.
ing and writing to Mrs. Williamson against her
husbands consent, and secondly, by re-
fusing her communion. Mrs. William
son was Miss Causton. the niece of General
Ogethorpe who planted Georgia Her uncle is
said to have encouraged her intimacy with Wes-
ley, hoping that he would be induced to settle in
the colony. She took French lessons of him,
consulted with him about her dress and also
nursed him through fever. No doubt he fellin
love with her, but he deemed it his duty to con-
suit his elders. They had already sat in judg-
ment on the affair." and advised him to break it
off, He did and she married another. Then the
preacher refused her communion for some alleged
breach of discipline. and eventually returned to
England. The celebrated divine seems to have had
penchant for the fair sex, for he soon comes to
the front in love affair with Grace Murray, his
servant Grace appears to have been a tickle
maid, bound to marry some one, and she
played fast and loose with the Reverend
john She travelled with Wesley and he speaks
highly of her engaging behavior. He proposes
stand him, and he leaves her with John Bennett,
one of his subordinates. John soon became en-
gagged to her. then Wesley sends him sharp Lett
ter, upbraiding him for robbing him Of mis- faith
full servant and fellow-laborer in the gospel,
whom he had been forming to his hand for ten
years At last Charley Wesley broke up the
match and declared that Grace's character was
ruined if she did not marry Bennett. 1t nearly
broke the preachers heart, for Wesley loNadE
Grace. yet she married Bennett withina week.
The depth of the Rev. Johns feelings may be
judged from the doggrel he wrote at the time:
My soul kindred spirit found,
BY heaven intrusted to my care,
The daughter of my faith and prayer,
Oft Though as yet the nuptual tie
Was not) clasping her hand in mine.
What force" she said. beneath the sky
Can now welkni souls disjoinP'
The reverend man, however, was doomed to
worse disappointment than that he received at
the hands of the tickle Grace for he soon mar
ried a wealthy widow, Mrs. Vizelle, of whom
Southey says that she deserved to be classedin
triad with Xantippe and the wife of JOB as ono
of three bad wives"

Genesta Wins the Race.

The English cutter, Gsnesta, retrieved
herself yesterday by winning the regatta
given under the auspices Of the New YORK
Yacht Club near Sandy Hook, over TRAN
gular course of forty-ive miles The prizes
consisted of two cups, one given by Commo-
dore James Gordon Bennett for schoonerS
and the other by Vice Commodore W. T.
Douglas for sloops. There were eleven
starters.
Shortly before eleven o'clock the tug
whistled for preparations, and few min.
utes later the signal for the start was given.
The Genesta forged rapidly ahead and gain
ed steadily upon the yachts which hail cross
ed before her, and after the first five miles
it became evident that she intended to keep
the first place. The result was that she
steadily walked away from her competitors.
After rounding the first buoy the Gcnesta
made sweep to windward, and left tho
others so far behind that the race seemed
certain for her. On the home.stretch the
English vessel came scuddng like a duck,
and passed the line at 3:4l.l0, with the
Graylng second.
The Bennett prize cup was awarded to tie
Grayling, and the Douglas cup TO the Gen
esta. The English cutter received an ova-
ton after the race, and, between cheers and
the noise of steam whistles the course seem
ed veritabe eedlam. Every body was sat
isfed with the race, and the weather and
other conditions were as favorable as could
be desired

Formed Union with Bulgaria.

LONDON, September 19-The populace OF
Philipoppolis, the capital of Eastern Rou-
melia, almost to man rose in rebellion
yesterday, seized the Governor-G General, de-
posed tho government, and proclaimed
Union with Bulgaria. A provisional gov
ernment was established. The revolt was
so we'll planned that no disorders or blood
shed occurred, everybody being in sym
pathy with the movement except the gov
eminent officials. The foreigners in the
city are perfectly safe from harm, as is also
the property of foreign residents. Immedi-
ately after the organization of the provi-
sional government the militia was sworn
in, taking the oath of allegiance to Prince
Alexander, of Bulgaria. 1t is generally be.
lieved in diplomatic circles that Russia
arranged the programme of the rising and
suggested the union with Bulgaria. No
definite statement eau ct present be made
as to what action the signatory powers to
the treaty of Berlin will take respecting the
matter. Eastern Roumelia was created by
the Congress of Berlin in 1878, and was
given an autonomic government, though
forming an integral part of the Turkish
Empire. The Governor General was APP
pointed by the Porte, subject to the approval
Of the treaty powers.
PHIL1PPoProLIs, Sept. 19.-The insur'
gents in eastern Roumelia, acting under the
orders of The provisional government, have
occupied all the stretegic points on the
Turkish frontier, blown up all the bridges
which would likely be used by force ad.
vancing from Turkey to the relief of the
dcposed government and destroyed the tele
graph wires leading into Turkey.

A LARGE majority for General Lee is as.
sured.. The Mahoneites concede that, and
are only continuing their fight for the pos
sibie chance of securing majority in the
House Of Delegates, IS the Senate also IS
safely democratic But tie object Of all the
well wisbers Of Virginia now, no matter
what their politics or their color may be, is
to kill, politically, beyond the possibility OF
resurrection, Malone and his methods and
the entire system of Mahonelsm. This
laudable, and indeed necessary, object for
the welfare of Virginia can not be &C.
complished if enough men be elected to the
House of Delegates to constitute majority
of the Legislature and thereby elect Cen
eral Malone to the Senate. Therefore, this
is no time to be taking any risks respecting
the candidates for the House OF Delegates.
Those now who are not against Malone are
-tor,him, and the voters should see to it that
no such man be elected.

executions in some of the larger cltles-sucn

the exponents of republican sentiment
throughout the North appear to nave iit'ie
concern for the result OF the Virginia cam

means remarkable The republicans OF tne
North know as we'll as those OF Virginia
that Malone, though insincere IN most OF
bis exn, essions, is sincere when "he says ne
has no politics, only policy" that ne was

wears ago. before he had found out that he

afford to advance him. Then, too, how can
the Northern republicans, protesting as they
do such high regard for the binding obiga-
ton Of pecuniary contracts, be expected TO
support the only EIan who made Iepudla-
