WHISKY FOB BALD HEADS.
An Old Man Stops inward Doses and Applies
His Drink ExterpayIv


His Drink Externally.
In Smith6eld street barber shop ester
day there arose lively discussion as to the
relative merits of various nostrums for the
stimulation of the hirsute growth on
''baldish" pates.
Almost every degree of badness was rep
resented among the customers present at the
time, and each of them gave his experience
in the use of different means for the preyen-
tion thereof, and the general verdict was
that all were failures-restorers that failed
to restore, preventives that failed to pre-
vent. Then uprcse an elderly gentleman
who had been quiet listener, and, calling
attention to his luxuriant "head Of hair, ;"
said:
Gentlemen, you see these leonine locks,
this waving wealth of hair? Well, it was
not always thus. A few years ago a small
bare spot no larger than dollar, dollar
and a half or two dollars, made its appear
ance on the crown of nv head; it rapidly
spread in ever widening circles un-
til I was as bald as tombstone
You have seen Bill Nye: he has three hairs
on the outside of his thought works. one
or each side and one OIL top. 1 did not
have even that number; my dome of thought
was one vast, arid waste of whiteness. You
will have noticed that Nye's badness is of
a smooth, lusterless surface-not shiny, but
what painters call an egg-shell fnish-but
mine was not So II shone like a polished
mirror. 1t had the cold, stony glare of an
old-fashioned, white doorknob.
about this time read somewhere that
dissipation was frequently the cause of
badness, and L at once decided to indulge
no more in the cup that inebriates. A
heroid remedy indeed
81 had on had quite stock of good old
whisky, and thinking to utilize this and in
spired by the hope that the hair of the dog
might cure the bite, began peculiar
treatment. I annointed my head several
times day with the aforesaid liquor.
"After thus soaking my head (literally)
for some weeks, 1 was delighted to find
soft, delicate down sprouting out all over
the erstwhile desert waste, and I continued
the treatment till my hair became the
crown of glory you now behold. Try it,
gentlemen, and 1 assure you that in three
months you will not have bald hair on
YOUR heads

that characterized the meeting of the previ-
Gus Sunday. Father Miskiewicz, the regu-

listened to with respect which differed
greatly from the treatment ne received at
the meetings last week.
Bishop Phelan visited the church last
Friday and Strengthened matters out. He
gave Father Pikulski, who was charged
with causing the disturbance, to understand
that he must hereafter submit to discipline
and implicitly obey the senior priest
Father Kolasinski, the Siberian exile,
whose presence had excited the wrath of
part of the congregation, was ordered to
Cincinnati and left the same dav. The
members of the church also received in
structions to folloy the advice Of Father
Miskiewicz, and hereafter when any cause
for dissatisfaction arose, to present their
grievances to the Bishop in quiet, orderly
manner instead of attempting violence, as
was done last week.

NOT ON POLITICAL BUSINESS.
/; President Gompers Again Confers Witt
Amalgamzted officials.

President Gompers Again Confers With
Amalgamzted Officials
Samuel Gompers, President of the Feder-
! alton of Labor, returned to Sew York last
evening His visit here was ostensiblv to
. confer with the printers about their strike,
but the President had more important busi-
ness on hand He held long and mysterious
. conferences with the officials of the Anal
gamated Association, but he declined to say
what was done or to name the-subiect dis
! cussed. Those who claim to know report
that his mission was partially political.
The Amalgamated Association and the
flint glass workers opposed the reelection
of Mr.. Gompers, but still he succeeded.
Mr.. Gompers said before leaving that the
most cordial relations existed between the
Amalgamated Association and the Fedora
tion Of Labor Their interests are in COM
mon and they are working together. He
hadn't heard that considerable trouble is ex-
pected when the next iron scale comes up
for discussion. 1t is said the manufacturers
in this city, Wheeling and Youngstown are
combining with determination to repudi-
ate the scale. Mr.. Gompers was not alarmed
over the prospect, and talked very little
about it.
As for the printers, their fight will be
continued to a finish. Sometime ago the
Federation set aside s., 600 to assist them,
and some of the money will be used to fight
the in JUNCTION of Murdock, Kerr & Co. Mr.
Gompers attended another conference yes-
terday afternoon with the ways and means
committee of the printers and pressmen.
He said the injunction was side issue, and
he felt confident the men would win in the
end.
The general situation was canvassed.
The strikers are in good humor, and de-
termined to gain their point. The Fedora
tion has promised to assist them literally.

religion within two weeks, and the meet
ings are to be continued for another week

OIL MIXED In WATER.
Allegheny Citizens Find New Reasons
to Be Indignant.
JUST LIKE PITTSBURG SUFFERED.
Superintendent Brown Thinks Some One
Must Be Mistaken.
THE WATER MUDDY AS WE'LL AS OILY

Allegheny citizens have discovered that
their daily water is mixed with OIL When
Pittsburg was suffering in like manner
the Northside enthusiast found glofy in his
city, but now that the greasy fluid has en-
tered the water supply on that side of the
river, there is greater indignation than that
caused by discoveries in the Auditing CON-
mittee's investigation. The amount of oil
in each gallon of water has not yet
been determined. but it is believed
to be large enough to cause
frst-class explosion if properly
arranged. 1t had the effect yesterday of
making great many sick and of driving
others to Sunday speak-easies. Besides
the oil, the water was muddy and otherwise
disagreeable to the taste. The Allegheny
water supply is celebrated on account of its
impurity and when oil is added, it becomes
almost crime to drink.
Thomas Brown. Superintendent of the
Water Bureau, had not heard oil was being
furnished free of charge to the citizens Of
Allegheny and thought there must have
been some mistake. He argued that on ac-
count of the high water, the oil could not
get down to the bottom of the river and
therefore the people must be fooled.
"When there is low water" he said, ''I
have frequently noticed oil in the water,
and suppose it comes from some of the
wells up the river. When the water is
high, however, there is swift current, and
oil naturally stays on top. 1t is only when
the Davis Island dam is up that oil gets in
the water supply. There is then no cur
rent and the sand and refuse from the oil
wells floats down the river and sinks to the
bottom. 1 don't think that could take
place now. The water is muddy, of course,
but that is all there is wrong with it,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Browns statement,
people in Allegheny were certain there was
oil in the water supply. They weren't pre-
pared to argue how itSgot there, but knew
from the taste that they were not mistaken.
Charles Lewis, the well-known Council
man, was one who had noticed the impurity,
and he was certain that his first conclusion
was correct. A number of citizens want an
investigation of the oil wells up the river
and will demand that something be done to
remedy the evil.

why Royalty Is Not popu,ar

W. Watson Thomas and Colonel Joseph
Renford, Of London, put up at the Duquesne
last evening. They are making a tour of
the country, and stopped over here to spend
the night. Mr. Thomas said it
was very hard, indeed, : for
man like the Duke of Clarence
to be very popular There are toe many
people running after man in high place,
and as many of them are turned down thew
feel sore and disappointed. AS between
the Prince of Wales and his brother. the
Duke of Edinburgh, he thought the latter
was more popular. He never spends more
than he has while the Prince borrows money
right and left, and can't pay it. MI.
Thomas says the Prince owes several
million dollars.

DON'T ALL DRAW PENSIONS.
At Least Two Republican Soldiers Who
Refuse Government. Aid.


Refuse Government Aid.
There are at least two Republicans who
served in the late Rebellion who are not
drawing pensions. The knowledge of this
fact was brought about in downtown office,
when Democrat observed that he did not
know of any Republican soldier who had
not gotten pension, and he had heard that
some who thought of joining the army, but
afterward changed their minds. were now
thinking of making application simply be-
cause the spirit had once moved them.
This brought Bank Examiner Hugh
Young to the fore, and he stated that he was
entitled to a pension, but had never applied
for it and did not intend to, either. After
waiting for time to allow his audience to
recover from the shock, Mr.. Young added
that his brother, Ex-Governor Young, of
Ohio, had been voluntarily granted a pen-
sion of SS month by the Department aud
refused to accept it,stating to the astonished
Commissioner that as it wasn't enough to
pay for the cigars. he, the Governor,
sm oked, it wasn't worth collecting.
