Curly Hair and Whine Bair the Most

SIN Frdnei,eo Eslmie1.
The hair Of which wigs arc made is COL
lected by special drummers in Germany
and France. England and Belgium are
but poor markets for hair, not because Of
its scarcity, for both English and Belgian
woman have the finest heads OF hair in the
world, but because they will not sell IT.
When collected, it is put through clean
ing process severe enough to fetch the dirt
out Of an elephants hide, and then dyed
several times over. The best hairdressers
never buy hair from the head or from
private hands. To this Tnle, however,
there are two exceptions. Perfectly white
hair is so rare that IT is grabbed eagerly
from any source, und liberal price given
for it, Natural curling hair Is also Of consid-
cradle value. A good wig OF white hair
costs about $40, and (this Is secret OF the
trade and can only be told in whispers)
the material Ct which wigs are made Is
clipped from a festive goat and never from
the human head. A peculiarly soft, silky
kind Of snow white hair originates on the
angofa rabbit. A perfectly white and
abundant wig Of white human hair would
cost 81 600 at least, price which few
would he willing 10 pay, Dead hair |. o.,

Pepper Is sometimes adulterated with

this species OF fraud calls attention to the
fact that none ofthe morphological ele-
ments OF pepper can be confounded with
the elements OF olive kernel. The char.

distinct. The several kinds Of pepper

! MCG0NIGLE'S MURDER.
ThG Trial Of Cuff Johnson Com
mGHCBd in The District Court,
The Dying Mans Declaration.

Yesterday the trial Of "Cuf" johnson,
whose real name is James johnson, for
the murder of VIM. McGonigle, was com.
menced In the district court. The fact
of the prisoner being a colored man caused
q dark sp1inkling of the African race In
the audience. The prosecution wau in
the hands of District Attorney Thorwell
and Mr.. Jacob Simg, while Col. Daily
and John Lindt looked after the defend.
ants interests.
The following composed the jury: Al
len Smith, j. +. Grove, w. M. Maxwell,
j. T. Thralkill, j. G. Carter, E. Jenkins,
John Darys, w. NJ. Crouch, John Knox,
G. E. Lacy, NJ. G, Griffin and l..
Burcham.
The evidence on the part of the state
wsu circumstantial wholly. McGonigle
was found at an early hour of the morn
ing of October 3, In an clubhouse in the
rear of the Western honse, with a wound
on his head and bruises on his shoulder
and arm. Officer Towns took him to the
station, where he remained In a stupor,
unable to talk. His wounds weredressed,
and In o day or two he was taken to his
home in Woodbine where he died on the
9Th.
Mrs. Meg onigle testified that when he
left home he had about $500 with him,
bepides a gold watch and chain. When
found there was no money or valuables
upon him. After being brought back
home he revived sufficient to say, ''There
were two Of them, Saunders and john
son, arrest them" He was scarcely able
to talk, and could give no more informa.
tion about what had befallen him.
McGonigle was seen the night before
in company with two negroes, and 1t wal
further shown hat johnson, at a dance,
showed a watch and chain, which it was
supposed was Meg onigle's. Some ad'
missions of johnson were also shown, tc
the effect that he had slugged a man, who
had about $50 In his pocket. On thu
part of the defense johnson explained
that the watch he had was one he bough'
at a secondhand store, and the chain hi
got from another party. He denied tina
he knew anything about the McGonigl'
affair. He admitted being about to vi
that night, but sought to establish hi
whereabouts, In denial of having beef
with McGonigsl, the theory OF the de
Tense being that 1t must have been som
other colored man who did the ~slugging
