JOY FOR
An Invention That Promises to Make Life
Worth Living for MANY.

nm invention Ina PROMISES to Make Lie
Worth Living for Many.
The wind has long been tempered to
the shorn lamb, but the baldhead has
had to take the blasts as they came. No
special dispensations in the matter of
weather have been made on his account.
He has had to look out for himself, and
the fact hat he survives so numerously
is perhaps better evidence of his hustling
ability than of his innate goodness.
Why, no one appears able to tell, but
certain it is that from time immemorial
there has been none to do the baldhead
reverence.
1t will be remembered that when the
original baldhead was making his way
toward Bethel the children by the way
side requested him to "go up" This
expression has no place in modern slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
involved a journey to sections not down
on our list Of desirable habitations. Be
that as it may, the fact remains that the
caput destitute of hairy adornment has
all along been the butt for universal
ridicule.
But it is a long lane which has no
ldl lIS CIIId J11O DdiOllCoo . I'LL d
come at last. Some enterprising philan-
thropist has invented a polish for the
hairless crown which is warranted to
turn it into a thing of beauty and joy
forever. This blessing comes in the
shape of q polish, which is easily ap-
piled by a barber and imparts to the al
ready shining crown a shine so brilliant
that it dazZles the eyes and so smooth
that upon it no fly can gain a fOothold.
Those who have never experienced
the joys and sorrows Of badness may
not be able to appreciate the value of
this discovery. The value is there just
the same. With a little care the polish
can be made windtight and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will no
longer fall an easy prey to the influenza
laden breezes, while he can lie down to
dreams unbroken by the assaults of
winged things. Surely the baldhead
millennium is at hand.
The direct moral influence of this dis
cOvery cannot be Overrated. With his
sparsely matched crown protected from
the attacks Of enviOus Cascas the bald
head will recover from his tendency to-
Ndtu inc use VI uLlduILIOIlZou OK D1CIlNCS,
and he may even rise to the point of
taking a front seat in the sanctuary in
fly time. Relieved of the necessity for
turning his skull into a block upon
which to butcher the musca domestica,
etc, he will be able to urn his whole
thought to the sermon, thus setting a
worthy example to the congregation
while absorbing truths of which he has
long stood in need.
If there is justice in all things, the
man who makes two blades of grass
grow where one has grown before will
have to take a back seat when the in

Unlike most other countries England
has repeatedly been governed by for
eigners, who thought so little of their
people that they did not even take the
trouble to learn the language of their
subjects. Most of the Danish kings
knew no English, and if William the
Conqueror, William Rufus and others
knew the language they kept the fact to
themselves.
The early French kings, in fact, re-
garded England as a conquest and
France as their home. Richard l, for
instance, spent but a few months of the
ten years of his reign on English soil.
In modern times George l neither knew
nor cared TO learn English, and George
IL spoke it very imperfectly.-St. Louis

Danger in Ice Water.

Many people owe summer sickness to
the too free use of ice water. 1t is a
question if any real ice water is safe.
That which is cold without coming di-
rectly from the ice is quite as satisfying
and is not dangerous. Strong men have
died liz fifteen minutes from the effects
of drinking c~opiously of ice water While
highly heated by hard work or the sun.

REMOVING THE GARBAGE.
Lieut.. Hollinberger Says That the Contrac-

Lieut.. Hollinberger Says That the Contrac-
tor Failed to Put on More Teams.
In conversation with n reporter OF THE STAR
this morning Lieut.. Hollinberger, in charge Of
the removal OF garbage. stated that owing to
the failure OF Garbage Contractor Clark to put
on additional teams during encampment week
a considerable amount of garbage had accumu-
lated throughout the city and complaints had
increased accordingly during the past five days.
The lieutenant stated that Contractor Clark in
stead OF providing him with additional teams
during encampment week to meet the greatly
increased requirements Of tine occasion had
failed to put on a single additional one and to
meet the necessities at Grand Army Place had
merely taken teams from other parts Of the
city.
Il have had but thirty-three teams" said the
lieutenant, ito remove the garbage for week or
more, although the population of the city was
more than double last week. The result is that
on Saturday and today the complaints come in
In such numbers "a to almost reach the number
recorded before was placed in charge. / have
repeatedly requested Mr.. Clark to give me more
teams. but he has SO far failed to do so. So. I
this morning made the following report: -Four
additional teams are needed as follows: One in
precinct No 2, one in No. 4, one in No. and
ono In No. 6. These teams are needed i'm
mediately. as there Is quite accumulation Of
garbage, there being sixty complaints on Sat
urday. The health officer, DR.. Hammett,
should hire these teamsat once and charge them
to the contractor, as he. Mr.. Clark has been
promising ever since Friday to put on extra
teams, but has failed to do So"
An inspection of the records Of Lieut.. Hol-
linberger today showed that up to IL O'Clock
this morning forty-eight complaints had been
received and it was expected that those re-
ceived In the afternoon mail would double that
number.

Saturday morning Col James NJ McAfee, q
clerk in the pension Office residing at Vienna Va,
was thrown from a train at the south end Of the

during the afternoon. Col. McAfee and his
wife and daughter were on the train coming to
the city, and when the train reached point
near the bridge the colonel walked from the
smoking car to go to the adjoining coach, where
his wife and daughter were, and it was in this
way that he was hurled from the train and
killed. The train was running at high rate OF
speed when it struck the curve, and Col Nc
Afee was thrown such distance that he struck
against the porch of a saloon by tho roadside,
breaking some of the timbers. His wife and
daughter were unaware of what had happened
until they reached the city. and then they took
the outgoing train and went to Alexandria.
The badly injured man was taken on the train
to the Alexandria Infirmary, where the physi-
clans found a fracture Of the base of the bRin
and paralysis resulting from injury to the
spine. He died at $50 o'clock without having
regained consciousness.

A TRAMP TO FRISCO.
The Journey That Mr. Dovale Fountain Has
laid Out for Himself

Mr.. Dovsle Fountain Is young man
from New York, who has made quite n
reputation for himself as an elocutionist and
reader, and now proposes that by the use of
his talents and his legs his reputation should
extend clear across the continent from the At
lantic to the Pacific. On next Wednesday at 10
o'clock Mr.. Fountain proposes to strike out
14th street from the avenue, continue
the line Of march by the road to Bright
wood and Silver Springs, and then keeping
as much on wagon roads as possible, but always
following the general line Of the railroads, con-
tinue his long tramp until San Francisco and
the Golden Gate stops his further progress.
Mr.. Fountain appears to be young man who
will carry out just about what he starts in on.
He will give recitations and readings on the
way, devoting especial attention to G.
A. r. matters. The proposed route will
be some 5000 miles, and will take in
Parkersburg, Harper's Ferry, Chillicothe,
Midland City, Cincinnati. Indianapolis,
Terre Haute. St. Louis, Kansas City, Lawrence,
Topeka Denver. Colorado Springs, Leadville,
Salt Lake, Ogden, Sacramento and San Fran
cisco.
The young travellers outfit on the long tramp
will consist of a satchel, light suit of clothes
and hat and umbrella. In order to avoid all
chance of robbery he will. naturally, leave all
valuables in safe hands before making start.

in Saturdays STAR, was removed to the morgue
later in the day, and yesterday Coroner Patter-

show that foul play had played any part in the
transaction, although it was at first thought
that her neck was broken. Footprints were
also visible in the mud about where her body
was found, bnt these, it is thought, were made
BY persons who had been cunning IN the marsh.
