RUDELY INTERRUPTED.

An Old Man Gets Tired OF Listening 60 q
Lovers Tefe-a- Tete.
From the Marietta (Ga.) Journal,
The story goes that acertain society young
man, noted for his handsome bearing and
winning voice, accompanied young lady
to her home, and as all true lovers do, lin
gered yet little while at the gate to have q
lovers tete-a-tete with his fair companion.
The night was beautiful, no one near to in
trude, and above all he loved! Why
shouldn't she kiss him? With true maid
emily modesty she refused. He implored.
She still withheld from him that which
would fill his cup of happiness. Therequest
was repeated several times, and so engrossed
did the young man become in wooing he
failed to notice the approach Of the parental
step.
The old gentleman, who had been there
himself and did not care to intrude upon
the happiness of the young couple, quietly
stepping behind a convenient rose bush,
waited, thinking the young man would soon
leave. In this he was mistaken. The lover
tarried over the request until the patience
of the old gentleman was exhausted. A
voice the couple we'll knew aroused them
from their happiness, in tone of impatient
anger by saying: Daughter, kiss the 49,
fool and let him 60 homer 1t is reported
that the young man only hit the ground in
high places in his endeavor to comply with
the old gentleman's request.

ESPECIAL TKLEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.l
PETERSBURG, VA, August i23.-The
all-absorbing topic Of conversation in polit-
ical circles here to-day has been the ticket
nominated by the Republican State con-
vention at Norfolk to-day. The Mahoneites
boast that Malone will be elected by large
majority, some placing it at 10000. The
anti-Mahoneites say that he will
be defeated by $4,000 majority. 1t
is understood that the leaders of
the ''kickers" wild hold conference at
some early day to decide upon some plan of
action for the fall campaIgn. Ex-Governor
Cameron, being asked to-day what he
thought of the statement made by General
Malone that he dlGrover did not have
more than 500 FOLLOWERS in the State, jocu-
larly replied that hd had more than that
number here in Petersburg.
Hon. John NJ. Langston was asked to-day
if he would support Malone for Gov
ernor. but declined to talk. He, how
ever .ssE replied ed aS to sussti0n, asked tsd
made up. Mr.. Lansston said he had his
views in regard to Mahone's candidacy for
Governor, and at the proper time would
give them for publication. He says
that ne will not be Influenced BY any man,
and that he proposes to do what he thinks is
right He says be can control 15,-
600 colored voters in the State.
He thinks the State debt question
will be one of the points in the political
fight of next fall. Mr.. Langston says he
thinks Lee had made most excellent Gov
ernor, and that he could have immortalized
himself by an adjustment of the State debt.

WHY THE HAIR FALLS OUT.
Tho Cause of Baldness-How if May Some.
times be Prevented.

The Cause of Baldness-How it May Some.
times be Prevented.
Youths Companion.I
The lifetime of each individual hair is
from two to six years. At the end Of that
time the hair falls out, and is at once re-
placed by another which grows from the
same root-sheath. In healthy scalp this
process continues indefinitely; but in certain
diseases the life history of the hair is not so
long, and the hairs die and fall out before
their full length is reached. The next gen.
Grafton may have still less vitality, and the
same process may continue until there is
left an area covered with a stunted growth
of poorly developed hairs. Later, even
these may fall out leaving patch entirely
bald, or covered with fine, downy growth.
This condition occurs more frequently in
tomen than in men, and often follows ex-
hausting diseases, such as scrofula, fevers
and nervous exhaustion.
In ordinary badness the history is entirely
different. Here, the fully-grown hairs drop
out and are replaced at once by the downy
ones, and when these disappear, smooth,
shining surface of skin is left. In this case
there is an atrophy of the hair bulbs, and
consequently the hair can never be restored.
In the former case the trouble is due to de-
fcient nutrition, and if this defect can be
remedied the hair will grow again.
Certain diseases, especially those accom-
panied with high temperature, are usually
followed by more or less complete loss of
hair. Typhoid fever presents a very nota-
BILE example OF such an effect. In
some forms of neuralgia, also, there is
badness along the course of the affected
nerve. A very curious phenomenon is the
falling of the hair in small, isolated, round
or oval patches, which are apt to be at the
back of the head. They are small at first,
but gradually increase in size away from
the center. Several patches may thus run
together and cause a badness of nearly the
entire scalp.
This condition occurs in both sexes, and
especially in the young. Sometimes there is
itching and tenderness in the spot, but in
other cases there is no local symptom to give
warning of the approach of the disease. The
cause of this affection is not surely known,
but very likely it is due to some nervous
disturbance. 1t is comforting to know that,
with the exception of the badness of old
age, the loss of the hair may be only tenn
porary, and that, with restoration to health
and the removal of the particular cause, the
hairs will grow again. A general course of
tonics, with shampooing and proper appli-
cations, will give good results, although it
is sometimes months before a perfect cure is
established.

MORE STREET WIDENING.
A Grand Project for Duquesne Way and
the River Front.

A Grand Project for Duquesne Way and
the River Front.
A scheme is on foot for the widening Of
Cecil alley, from its junction with Fifth
avenue at the corner of Liberty street to the
Allegheny river. There is another project
for the widening of Duquesne way, from
Ninth street to the Point. It is understood
that petition is being filled out by the
property holders for the first named i'm
provement, the object being to make it
60-ioot street, making the cut on the east
side on which is located the unfinished sta
tionhouse of the Citizens Traction Com
pany, and it is said that the aforesaid COM
pany is one of the petitioners. The cut
would take in all of the station, which ex-
tends from Liberty to Penn avenues, and
continuing through to Duquesne way would
take in all of the property now occupied by
Carr's livery stable and other property to
the same depth, from that to the Allegheny
river.
The scheme for the widening of Duquesne
way was brought to light by several of the
persons opposed to it making inquiries at
the City Controllers Office. Among those
opposed toit are N. Holmes, residence cor
ner Fourth street; @. West B Co., carriage
manufactory; James Reese, machinist;
Hugh Bole, boiler mandatory; D. r.
Speer, planning mills, and Hilliard, sterritt
& Co., machinists.
It is claimed that those who are agitating
this improvement contemplate making the
street 100 feet wide by extending it toward
the river, and building lsrge retaining
wall along the river side, with carriage ways
to the wharf at convenient intervals. The
identity of the projectors could not be found
out, but it is said that those who were orig
ina1ly agitating the scheme of public
park on the wharf had abandoned that idea
in favor of this one, the intention being to
erect large block Of business houses 'front.'
ing on the river.
The opposition comes, it is said, from
parties who are uGng ground leased from
Mrs Schenley. snd knowing she would
favor such sche me, are afraid their cases
would be terminated.

The Clever Engineering Feat OF an Indus.
trions Little Insect.
Some sarcastic writer has said that phi
losophers, like spiders, spin their web out
of their own insides; but not every philoso-
pher would be able to get out of slight
place" as quickly and safely as did the par
ticular spider OF whose exploits writer in
the Hearth and Home relates this story:
One day I caught a spider, and brought
him into the house to play with. took a
basin and fastened stick in it, like YES
sells mast or liberty pole, and then poured
in water enough to turn the mast into an
island. On this I placed my spider
Crusoe, as called him.
As soon as he was fairly cast away, he be-
gan anxiously running around to lind a road
to the mainland. He scampered down the
mast to the water, stuck out foot, got it
wet, shook it, ran around the stick and tried
the other side, and finally ran back up to
the top again. Here he stopped as if to
consider the matter. I put little molasses
on the stick. A fly came, but the spider
cared not for flies just then.
He went slowly down the pole to the
water and touched it all round, shaking his
feet like cat when she vets her paws in
the grass. Suddenly, as if inspired with a
plan for escape, he mounted to the top like
rocket. He held one foot in the air, then
another, and turned round two or three
times. He seemed excited, and several
times nearly stood on his head. He had
somehow discovered that there was wind
enough to carry line ashore.
He pushed out a web that went floating in
the air until it caught on the table. Then
he hauled on the rope until it was tight,
struck it twice or thrice to see ifitwas strong
enough to hold him. and then he walked
ashore. He had earned his liberty, and I
carried him back to his home web.

A ONE.LEGGED TERROR,
After Successfully Combnttins Five Murder
Trials, Overreaches Himself-He suf-
fers the PenaIty-The Crime
for Which He Was
Hanged.

Hanged.
ANTONIO. TEX, August 23.-Jim Nc
Coy was hanged here to-day. He has been
one of the most notorious desperados of
Southwestern Texas during the last 15 years.
Nobody but himself knows how many men
he has murdered. He has successfully
combatted five murder trials. Four years
ago he lost his right leg from
wound he received in q
street fight in Cotulla. He was
one of the most daring and heartless mem
bers of the Alta Pen gang, a combination
of the worst outlaws which ever infested
that part OF Texas. They terrorized that
section for years, until Captain Charley Nc
Kinney came along and inaugarated war
of determination against them. Mckinney,
as sheriff of La Sale county, thinned their
ranks until Jim Mccoy and Bud Crenshaw
were about the only members left. Fearing
Mckinney, they decoyed him on the day
after Christmas, in 1886, to Twohig station,
a few miles from Cotulla, the county seat,
where they had plotted to murder him, say
ing a crime had been committed there and
the Sherif's presence was needed.
Mckinney, accompanied by a deputy
named Edwards, boarded the train at Cotul-
la, and on arrival at Twohig, was met by
Crenshaw ana Mccoy, who proffered to them
the use of their horses to ride to the house
where the alleged crime had been COM
mitted. Mckinney mounted the horse, and,
while inquirIng the direction. Crenshaw
pushed the muzzle of a Winchester under
his chin and fired, the ball penetrating the
victims head. The Sheriff fell to the
ground dead. Meanwhile, Mccoy, standing
close to Edwards, fired at him, wounding
the deputy in the shoulder. Edwards
horse, however, frightened by the shooting,
dashed of, otherwise its rider would un-
doubtedly have shared the fate of his su-
perior.
Crenshaw and Mccoy made their escape,
the former being killed by State rangers
shortly afterward, while resisting arrest
Mccoy beat around in the brush for few
weeks, and becoming sick and starved, gave
himself up at Cotulla. On a change of
venue the case was brought to this county,
where, after a stubborn legal fight for two
days, the verdict, as quoted, was returned
against him. 1t is singular coincidence
that the last criminal hanged in San An
tonic, Charles Wood, a negro whose neck
was broken July 81. 1882, for assaulting a
German girl, was one-legged, too.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtsPArcH.i
Ell PAso, Tex, August 23-The city
government of Paso del Norte, in coDjunc-
ton with the leading property holders,
have forwarded petition to the home
government at the City of Mexico,
asking that President Diaz demand
of the United States. through its depart
ment at Washington, protection. under
riparian rights, from the State of Califor-
mia. The farmers and fruit growers
in the southern portion of that
State have tapped the Rio Grande
and its headwaters with so many canals that
the usual flow of water no longer reaches
the city of Ell Paso, and the Inhabitants
therein, and the frnit growers in the vicinity,
are suffering for water.
The Rio Grande is now virtually dry,
many of the wells in Paso Del Norte are in
the same condition, and suffering exists
among all classes, especially the poor and
the small fruit growers.

EAST LIVERPOOL, August 23.-At q
meeting of potters here the Western White
Granite Compact was formed, with the fol-
lowing officers: President, George Morley,
Sr., of this city: Vice President, Joseph
Mayer, of Beaver Falls; Secretary, Alfred
Day, of Steubenville; Treasurer, John N.
Taylor. of this city. The final papers,
bonds, etc., are now being signed, and the
compact" embraces every manufacturer of
white granite west of the Allegheny Noun
tains.
1t is claimed that the organization is not
in the nature of a trust in any sense, but is
simply a compact agreement not to offer
the jobbing trade better than certain dis
count. nor give jobber's discount to a
small dealer who is not entitled to the same.
There is very salty penalty attached with
a cash forfeit for a violation of the agree
ment.
