Beauty is thing often hard to de-
fine, but it is acknowledged that one
of its greatest aids is lacking where
there is any deficiency or disease of
the hair, especially if it be woman.
The Creoles are noted the world over
for the luxuriance and beauty Of their
hair. 1t should not be supposed that
this results from carelessness. On the
contrary, it is the outcome of the most
careful attention. There is a peculiar
dressing and tonic the Creoes used fol-
generations and it is this that is
made the basis ofthe Louisiana Creole
Hair Restorer, generally considered
the quickest and most satisfactory re-
stOratfve for the hair now in use.
1t promotes the growth, cures dan.
druff, stimulates the scalp and gives
it healthy tone, and in great num-
her of cases has cured absolute bald
ness, causing hair to grow on scalps
that seemed absolutely barren.
AS dressing il is unexcelled, and
it has a place on the toilet table of
some of the most fashionable ladies of
the country.

The EnrsYfh Case.

Washington. February 1.-THE in
dorsement of Colonel Forsyth by the
secretary of war and by the president
contrary to the advice of General Miles
has caused considerable talk in military
and official circles here. The report o
General Miles showed that COlOne
Forsyth had disregarded warnings thai
an Indian uprising was likely and had
arranged his troops in careless and in,
secure manner. The report says that
the fact that many of the warriors were
unarmed forces the conclusion that some
of the casualties to the troops were SUI
fered at the hands of their companions
i'm arms. General Miles concludes his
report rs follows: II can partially &C.
count for the singular apathy and neg.
lect of Colonel Forsyth upon the theory
Of his Indifference to and contempt for
the repeated and urgent warnings and
orders received by him from the division
commander, or by his incompetence and
entire inexperience in the responsibility
of exercising command where Judge
ment and discretion are required"
General SchOtield submitted the case
to the secretary of war with the in
dOr5ement that the interests OF the mil
itary service did not demand longer
continuance of Colonel FOrsyth's sus-
pension from the command of his regi-
ment. In his Judgment the conduct
of the regiment was well worthy of the
commentator bestowed upon it by him
in his first telegram after the engage
ment.
In returning the papers to the major
general commanding, the secretary OF
war reviewed the testimony as to the
surrender and commented on the des-
perate and sullen character of the land,
his conclusion being that Colonel For
syth did as well as could be required
under the circumstances. He con-
cluded: by direction Of the president
Colonel Forsyth will resume the COM
mand of the regiment.
Fort Riley, Kas., February 13.-COlo-
mel Forsyth is stationed here. when
the news of his reinstatement came
YESTERDAY the troops gathered around his
quartz, nd Enthusiastically cheered
the colonel. who thanked them warmly
for their friendship and confidence.
Chicago, February l3.-General Miles
is disinclined to talk about the Forsyth
matter, but he said to q reporter: 81
made a careful study Of the matter and
did what | thought the exigencies Of
the case demanded. What | did |
would do again under the same circum-
stances"

What is your position as to restrict

Il have already given my opinion on
that question. am in favor of keeping
the doors of the republic open. We
have plenty of room. If every man,

should come we have room for them all.
The great valley of the Mississippi can

Ericsson was an emigrant, and ne
did as much for the United States as
any man, living or dead, and so l say

THE Germans have done us great
good. They have helped to soften our
old Puritan theology. They have given
us higher and nobler ideas of music,
and have done good service in the de-

Views of Congressman on CleveIand's Let
ter Against Free Coinage of silver.

Ex-President Cleveland's letter
against the free coinage of silver is d
matter of much speculation among mem,
bers of Congress.
The following are the comments of a
number of Democratic members on
the letter and how it will effect his
prospects for denomination:
Mr. Goodnight. of Kentucly-'The
letter flattens Mr.. Cleveland out com
pletely. The wonder to me is that that
man was not condemned long ago. Ii
was known long ago that he was un-
democratic on the silver question"
Mr.. Flower. of New York-''It shows
that Mr. Cleveland has the courage OF
his convictions"
Mr.. Savers. of Texas-''If the Demo
cratic party stands by its platform it will
result in an irreconciliable difference
between it and Mr.. Cleveland
Mr.. Edmunds, of Virginia-'I 1T means
political death for Mr.. Cleveland as far
as the South and West are concerned "
Mr.. Quinn, of New YOrk-''The let
ter is big mistake. 1t is especially in
Opportune at this time"
MIR. McClammy, of North Carolina

General Wheeler-'It would have
been better if Cleveland had written a
letter declining the nomination"
Mr.. Lawler.-'I have greater admi-
ration for Cleveland now than | ever
had. disagree with him on silver, but
| admire the man for his frankness and
sincerity"
Mr.. F'ithian. of Illinois Cleveland
is out of the fight"
Mr.. Bynum. of Indiana-''It is long
time before the next democratic con-
vCntiOn."
Mr.. Owens. of Ohio-''It knocks
Cleveland out of the fight"
Mr.. Wiley, of New Iork-"The letter
will help Cleveland in New York. |
think that the sentiment of the country
is changing to the position which Mr..
Cleveland holds"
Mr.. Dickerson-''I think that Cleve-
land has issued his own death war

Mr.. Forman. of Illinois-'Mr. Cleve-
land cannot expect a denomination at

Mr.. Stewart, Texas-'It ought to
