A QUEER CASE.
at may seem strange that Chief Rabbi
Joseph doesn't insist upon the continu-
ance of this custom in New York, but
imagine that he has been advised that il
would be impossible to enforce it. Most
of the women wait until they come here
before they let their hair grow.
at is my business to train and trim it
after it is grown. You see even the girls
who have held to the custom until they
come to this country give it up when
they see how lonesome they are here. 1t
is no easy task to fix their hair, because
constant clipping has stiffened and hard
ened it. 1t is amusing, though, that
these girls are very critical, Once they
discard the clipping and wig business
they 20 70 the other extreme. 1t is as
though all the natural vanity that has
been pent mp in them had suddenly been
let loose.
about year ago was called upon
to testify in a lawsuit about this custom.
Alexander Levy, Polish fur maker, had
been arrested upon the charge of Eliza
Blashker. She said that she had advanced
him money upon his promise to marry
her, which he had failed to refund when
TIE promise was broken. 1t came out
III the trial that he was anxious to marry
her, but that his parents objected be-
cause she wasn't pious enough. He ad-
mittea on the witness stand that this
was the case. He said that his parents
mad Threatened to cast him OFF, and to
mourn for him as if he werO dead if he
married the girl.
1.-THE main objection, it seems, was that
she wouldn't shave off her hair and wear
a wig as his mother did. The girl gave
the keynote of the feeling in the ortho-
dox community here when she said that
she had refused to do this because the
custom had been generally abandoned,
and because she was an American and
didn't propose to make guy of herself.
ut is only rarely that find any wo-
men, even among the old ones, who ad.
here to the custom. My work has grown
away from what it was originally, anG
now it is mainly hair dressing, after the
modes prevalent in this and all other
civilized countries. New York Sun.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
1913, 1000 Acres Of Fine Land al
SI,25 Der Acre,

12s, 900 acres of Land in Western Texas,
watered by two never failing rivers of pure
water, with living water in different places
ON the tract. Railroad runs through the
land for 40 miles and has four stations
within its boundary. The land has an ele-
walton Of from 2, 700 to $500 leet above sea
level and an average rain fall according to.
the signal report for the last ten years of
24.2 inches per annum. The country is of
limestone formation and is broken up into
bill, valley and table lands; producing
mesquite and gramma grasses on which
stock thrive all the year round without
other food. Fifty miles of fence will en-
close the whole tract; the increase can be
easily counted fromL70 to 90 per cent. Stock
can be shipped direct from the rancho, thus
avoiding long drives. A like amount of
land can lie leased from the state for 10
years at the rate of 4 cents per acre per
annum, thereby making a ranch of 800
acres.

that Mr.. Blaine had been suffering from

that he was rapidly mending while
somewhat reassuring to his friends are
nevertheless received with considerable
misgivings
The fact that Mr.. Blaine is closely
watched by Mrs Blaine and that all
sorts of schemes are resorted to by
those surrounding him to divert his
mind. and, as admitted. subterfuges are
adopted to prevent him from brooding
over his official duties. is regarded as
indicating a very serious condition of Ill

The further admission that Mr..

CINCINNATI. July "a little after 10
o'clock last night came an alarm of fire
calling relay of engines to the great
building occupied by A. E Burkhardt
& Co., manufacturers of and wholesale
and retail dealers in furs and fur goods
Fire had started in the lower of the
two cellars and soon grew so great that
the entire department was called out
At IL o'clock the building was fur
mace of white flame. The streets were
full of spectators The store room OF
this building has been pronounced by
travelled citizens and visitors the finest
in America
At twenty minutes past IL o'clock the
east wall of the Hooper building rocked
and tottered and then fell onto the roof
of the Pape Manufacturing Co. IS build
ing next east of it with . roar
ard crash. followed by crash after
crash and filing the air with binding
dust, making darkness where a moment
before was brilliant illumination
The Pape Manufacturing Co. build
ing was three story brick. 1t was an
extensive picture framing esta blish-
ment, one of the oldest and most extern
sive in the city, and carried a large
stock of pictures, paintings, engravings
and holdings. The front three-quar-
tiers of the building, where the most
valuable goods are kept was completely
ruined mass of debris crushed into
the cellar and the outer walls thrown
into the street The loss can hardly be
less than 500, 900, while the loss to the
building is possibly $40, 900, as it was
very old.
The building was the property OF
William A. Hooper, banker and 6nan-
cier, and was 100 feet wide on Fourth
street and extended back $50 feet to an
alley. Its Fourth street front was sew
en- stories high and its height on the
alley was eight and a half stories II
also extended two stories deep under
the ground 1t was nearly new and
cost $500. 900 to put up, while Burl1hardt
added $50, 900 in interior adornment
within the last two years.
Burkhardt said that he could only
give a rough estimate of the value OF
the stock in the building and that was
to the best of his belief between $780,.
Quo and S1O0 600.

the Hooper building was occupied 10y

timated their stock at over 500, 600
Probably S125, 600 worth of this is un
der tarpaulin on the north side O,
Fourth, near Race street, thanks to the
energy of the salvage company, the
fire having started in Burkhardt's es
Enlistment at the corner, which
gave time to save some of the goods
The rest went with the great Good
man building. Geiershofer's los:
will not be less than $3.50, 600 and they
have that amount of insurance tina
their loss will be fully covered. TIL,
loss of the building will not be les
than $3.50, 600, and if Mr.. Burkhardt'
estimate of his stock is correct, the los
BY this fire will reach 81. 800 900.
