COLOR OF THE HAIR.

A Theory That 1t Has Connection With
Disposition and Advocation.
DR.. Deddoe tells us that there is di-
rect relation between mems pursuits and
the color of their hair. An unusual pro-
portion of men with dark straight hair
enter the ministry; administered men
are apt to be given to sporting and horse
flesh, while the tall, vigorous blond men,
lineal descendants of the Vikings, still
contribute large contingent TO our
travellers and emigrants. The plumage
of canaries can be considerably altered
toward red or orange by feeding them on
a stimulating diet of red pepper, and
though this may fail for humankind in
general. something minght be done to-
ward increasing the pigment In the hair,
and give hope to many melancholy
owner of gray locks.
Suppose. for moment that protec-
tive color, like that which obtains in the
fields. woods and hedgerows, ruled In the
world of men, what an amazing change
would ensue IN the outward appearance
of affairs! II rogue could but at will
assume the perfect gulse of an honest
man, andthe gilded wasps of society ap-
pear as mason or honey bees. or were
saints and sinners alike compelled TO
wear their own unmistakeable livery,
what changed world would this of ours
bel If men. like canaries or caterpllars,
could but change their complexion by
change of diet, mode of life or pursuit.,
then we might imagine an Alderman,
after years of calipash and calipee, as
sumo the hue and shape OF turtle.
Scrooge, the miser, after life of secret
boarding, would turn as yellow as his
guineas: Mr. Carcass, the butcher, would
become as rubicund as the beef on his
stall, instead of appearing as trim, dap
per, pale face in black frock coat; and
Ferret the poisouer, as black as the black

The County Board of Health is fearing

Two cases, one fatal. were reported yes
terday. Both were iu the I allan quar-

to spread The disease. Marietta
Vespuci, nine years old, of
No. 73 Colgate street was reported to the
authorities to have been stricken with the
disease. Inspector Allen and Coanty
Physician Converse, followed by an aDgry
mob of Italians, searched the
house from top to bottom, but could find
no trace of the child. In room on the
top floor they found much cleaner than
that usually found in Italian homes and
appearing as though it was just made up.
The Inspector and Physician were
about to leave the place when u
woman winked at Allan aud looked at
the bed. The Inspector turned down the
clothing and found the sick child
almost smcthared. She was taken to the
pesthouse.
When the Italians understood that
Marietta was to be taken TO the pesthouse
they became so demonsrative that

VILE CONSPIRACY.

A Woman Has an Innocent Man Arrested
to Make Him Marry Her.
On last Wednesday Edward Egurs of
Jersey City was arrested by the Hoboken
police. charged by Emma Wagner Of No.
562 First street with having assaulted
her. On the hearing before Recorder Nc
Donough. the young woman and her
companion. Mrs. Rhody of No. 557
First street, swore to the assault.
Egurs denied the charge. but
MED him to Jersey City hotel. The Re-
corder held him for the Grand Jury.
Egurs offered to marry the girl but she
refused.
On the Friday following, the girl con-
sented to marry Egurs. The Recorder
performed the ceremony on that day and
Egurs was discharged.
The couple took up their residence with
the Young lady's parents. The girl now
confesses that she entered into a conspir-
acy with Mrs. Rhody TO entrap Egurs
into the marriage.
She says she was in love with Egurs.
and he had promised to marry her, but
kept putting it off from time to time. She
accompanied him to the Jersey City hotel,
and next morning, afraid to go home,
called upon Mrs. Rhodys. and told her
what had occurred.
They then Matched up the rape story in
order to get Egurs to marry Emma.
Egurs said his young wife told him of
the conspiracy after the marriage. He said
he knew he was innocent of the charge
but circumstances were such he was
afraid he would be convicted, aud rather
than go TO Jail he decided to marry the
girl When she informed him of the con-
spiracy he had her go before a notary
public and swear to the facta. He dldn't
know whether he would apply for a di-
vorce or not.
Mrs Altman, who lives in the house
with the Wagners. said she knew of the
conspiracy ana knew no crime had been
committed, as she was in the room with
Egures and Emma during the time.
Emma charged the assault was
committed, but she thought
the charge would be the means
of making Egurs marry Emma, and as
she thought ne ought to do so, she re-
NAMED quiet.

DESERTED AND DERANGED
The Sad Story of a Young Wife
Turned Out of Her Home.

A very sad case of domestic infelicity
came to the notice of the police of the
Second Precinct last night. when pre-
possessing and refined young married
woman and her two children were picked
up on the street after having been dispos-
sessed for non-payment of rent.
At No. 2l0 Thirteenth street. in nicely
Meyers. his wife and three children.
Meyers was in business and made plenty
or money. Some time ago, SO it
is said. he met woman
for whom he soon neglected his wife.
The pretty young wife brooded over the
loss of her husbands affection and now
the neighbors say her mind is slightly
unbala need. Months ago her husband
deserted her and she caused his arrest
for abandonment. The matter was set
tied. Meyers said he would not live with
his wife, but would see that she wanted
for nothing.
How well he kept his promise was
shown last night when the police were
told that u young woman and two chill
dren were on the sidewalk on Thirteenth
street and that the woman refused
shelter. Overseer OF the Poor Hewitt
was notified and at once went TO the
house. He found Mrs. Meyers on the
sidewalk with the furniture of the house
piled about her. There were piano
and q group of pictures of the husband
and young wife and three children. The
neighbors in the house had made up q
purse to pay the rent of the fat, but the
woman had firmly refused TO accept it.
While the OVerseer was there the hus-
band came along. The sight must have
moved him. as he tossed roll of bills
amounting TO $500 on the sidewalk; but
the young wife would not accept it. The
young woman was taken to the police
station and Overseer of the Poor Hewitt
will attend to her case.
