That wasn't bad investment which
Erwin Davis made q couple Of years ago,
says the New York Void. Erwin Davis Is
the capitalist who SO successfully tried 70
sell his gallery Of paintings some months
ago at fancy upset prices. He Is smarter
hnancier than picture seller. About two
years ago he happened 70 learn that the
second mortgage bonds Of the Richmond &
Allegheny Railroad Company could be pur.
chased AZ q very low figure. Davis has a
yearning for. q low.priced railroad bond.
He looked into the matter and found
that the company had dcfaulted on the In
terest, and was apparently going 10 wreck
and ruin. He bought the entire issue,
$4,000 900, from the disguised holders at 10
cents on the dollar. That was an invest
ment Of 100000. Being interested in the
road he now insinuated himself into the
management and very soon he controlled
the board Of directors. he so worked
thinos that an entire reconstruction OF the
road seemed imperatively necessary. He
then invited the attention OF Mr.. Hunting
ton 10 the fact that his Chesapeake q Ohio
system would not be complete without the
Richmond a. Allegheny. Huntington and
Davis put their heads together and the re-
suit was q ninety-nine-year lease OF the
Davis road % the Huntington system, the
second mortgage bonds being guaranteed
por cent interest. which fnaizcs their mar.

AN IMPROBABLE YARN.


A Chicago han Too Bsshful 70 Talk 70 .
49, Pretty Widow.
"l know it's tho general supposition and
the rock bound belief on the part Of the
most women that really bashful men don't
exist anywhere of the farm" said South
side man to Chicago Herald reporter,
'.but know one woman who is convinced
that bashfulness can flourish and become
confirmed right here in tho city, with the
board Of trade as o stamping ground.
'The lady speak Of is a charming young
widow who lives with her par rents in an ele-
giant residence away out south. The bash
full gentleman has bceu acquainted with
this pretty little widow for good WHILE
and short time ago asked her to go to the
theater. Idon't know how ho ever nerved
himself up enough to make the request, but
he did, and the young woman's father, who
| is quite friendly with the bashful man, sug-
| gested that they use the family carriage.
So he rode down to the mansion on the I'LL
nois Central, and the elegant carriage Of
the Widows father rolled up to the front
door TO take them TO the play house. The
widow was handed In and settled herself In
the back seat. Then the bashful man, to
her surprise, took seat directly opposite
her, and the carriage rolled out on the
boulevard and toward the city.
"The pretty little widow exhausted all
the arts Of which she was possessed-and,
being a widow, you may believe they were
numerous--to apprise the bashful man Of
the fact that it woulu be proper for him TO
take seat by her side, but he was more
afraid Of her than he ever was OF panicly
wheat market. The widow wanted TO laugh,
and yet she felt silly, sitting over there
alone, with carriages passing, whose occu-
pants could see her isolation. All her hints,
however, were Of no avail, and she finally
said: s
"Mr.--, il you are quite convinced that
will not bite, please sit over here. 1t looks
much better. You can snuggle into your
own corner II you want to and go 10 sleep.
Twill not bother you.' ri
'He complied, ,stammeringly and crouched
into his corner all theway to the theater, re-
spending with hesitatng monosyllables 10
her efforts at conversation. The home trip
was just as bad.
"And this man is one Of the brassiest bro
kers on tho floor Of the Board Of Trade"

BLEACHING The HAIR.

The VIE Compounds That Arc Used In thu
sonseless Practice.
According 70 Medical Classics recent
analyses have shown that the preparations
for bleaching the hair ito the delicate
golden shade so much admired by the court
circles OF Europe and the best society Of the
United States, )" TO quote from label on one
Of the bottles, all depend upon the discolor-
ing and corrosive influence Of nascent oxy-
gen or nascent chlorine. The basis used in
the various nostrums for this purpose are
peroxide Of hydrogen, aqua regia and
bronzers' acid. Peroxide Of hydrogen IL
the mildest and most innocuous OF the trio
named. II is a colorless liquid which de-
stroys the natural color Of the hair, and
which, II used long enough, turns II IN un-
natural grayish white. It is rather expen.
slve, and IL is therefore used much less
than the two other acids. II produces sores
upon the scalp and gives rise 10 skin com.
plants that resemble tetter, salt-rheum and
scald-head. The two acids are equally vile.
They attack and eat the hair and skin
alike. The former they partly bleach and
partly burn 10 handsome gold color; the
latter they stain 10 about the same hue as
does light application Of iodine. Besides
the dermatologic troubles named, they
cause maladies hardly distinguishable from
eczema and erythema One curious disease
that they cause Is an Inflammation Of the
cells OF the hair follicles. The cellular walls
break down, and lymph, and often blood, Is
extravasatod In appreciable quantities. All
three bases produce falling out Of the hair
and premature badness.

remedies had failed. The child was so
