SOCIETY SHOCKED

Ry the SufcEde of Miss Daisy Garland.
Daughter OF Ex- Attorney General Gar
1aDd-Her Late Mysterious Disappear
rnce from Her Home Explained-No o
Cause Assigned.
WASHINGTON, Oct 28.-The death by
her own hand of Miss Daisy Garland,
only daughter of ex-Attorney General
Garland. shocked all Washington. At
tractive in appearance and manners in
marked degree the young lady, be-
cause of her prominence during her
fathers occupancy of a cabinet position
during Mr.. Cleveland's prior admins
tration, and because of her own per-
sonal charms was well-known and
very popular figure in society. She
lived with her father and brother in
the handsome residence Gen. Garland
had recently purchased on Rhode
Island avenue.
On the 10th of last August she mys-
teriously disappeared from home, and
after the lapse of three days, during
which time no news had been received
of her, the police were requested to
join in the search. This description
was then sent out from police head
quarters:
Look out for Miss Daisy Garland, aged %,
tall stout dark eyes and hair. Wore a dark
dress and several diamonds. Carried small
satchel when last seen. She is daughter of
x-Attorney- General Garland. Notify 9i5
Rhode Island avenue.
Soon afterwards the tidings were re-
ceived that the young lady was in Bal
timore, and Representative John 2.
Fellows, an old-time Arkansas friend
of her father, went over to that city, ac-
companied by her brother, and brought
her back. The explanation then given
was that she had left word with a
young lady friend that she intended to
visit Baltimore, and by some means the
message failed of delivery. Her brother
made public a statement that he
went over to Baltimore with Col. Eel.
lows to the address given (which was
that of Catholic family on Madison
avenue), and there found his sister who
would have returned in a day or two
anyway He added: 'She thought it
was strange that we had come for her,
and when she reached home found a
number of people waiting for us in the
house and learned the publicity that
| had been given her absence and the
| alarm it had created she was prostrated
| and we thought that we would have to
call in physician. If the message
| she sent us had been delivered there
would have been no trouble" F"
Miss Garland, it is asserted, has re-

supposed her friends would want some

ANTIQUITY OF WIGS.
Hannibal Is Said to Have Worn One VIII

Hannibal Is Said to Have Worn One When
He Crossed the Alps.
A passage in Polybius has been cited
to prove that Hannibal wore wig, but
this seems a little doubtful They
were probably invented about the time
of the first Roman emperors, for we
are told that Otho had kind of scalp
of fine leather with locks of hair upon
it so well arranged as to seem natural
When wigs were introduced into En-
gland the clergy inveighed against
them as being indecent and unnatural,
and even cut their own hair shorter to
express their adherence of the fashion.
''It was observed, however" we are
told, ''by the more discreet part of the
world, that periwig procured many
persons degree of respect to which
they were strangers before, and the
judges and physicians thoroughly un-
derstood this, and gave their wigs all
the advantages of length as well as
SIZE The popularity of the fashion
now seems to us inconceivable. Gran
ger mentions a country gentlemen who
employed painter to put number of
admirable portraits by Vankyke into
perukes.
"A1l persons" says Sir John Sinclair.
in his aCode of HEALTH" "ought to
wear a wig after sixty. 1t is alike ex-
cellent for the old, the tender and the
studious." 'The invention of wigs,
says an old writer, lis OF so great use,
and saves men so much trouble, that it
can never be laid aside; it helps to dis
guise the thief, to make an i'll face
tolerable, the tolerable handsome, and
to ease the lazy of trouble" On the
other hand, a still older writer, Ter
tullian, bids those who have wigs con-
slider whether they are likely TO GO to
Heaven in such things; moreover, he
asks them chow they can be sure that
what they are wearing may not be the
hair of some damned person or an
other" The language Of "the fathers

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,

$500, 900 in cash should be su ubscribed
to the endowment fund of the museum,
and that 1900, 900 of the exposition
stock should be transferred to the trus-
tees of the projected museum. One
hundred thousand dollars of the addi.
,tional cash fund has already been sub

amount will be raised from the sub
scription stock of the exposition, but
the directors think that 80 per Gent. of
the capital stock at least will be re-
turned to the subscribers. The sum
realized from the subscription stock
donated to the museum is not to be in
cluded in the $500, 900 cash subscription
Director Ellsworth is confident that a
majority of the $4,000, 900 subscription
stock will be given to the museum
fund.
Directors John G. Black and Edward
e. Aver are the members of the finance
committee who, with Mr.. Ellsworth
have secured nearly So, 900, 900 to the
museum fund in less than three weeks
An informal understanding has been
reached between the directors and the
South Park commissioners for the re-
tention of the Fine Arts palace as the
museum building to remain perma-
nently as an ornament to Jackson park.
The chiefs of the exposition depart

Though Russia has talked for years OF this

which Russia hopes to stim ulate by means OF
the Siberian railroad. 1t also proposes to build

It is questionable. however whether Russia

the expenditure OF the enormous amount OF

The western half Of the road. therefore. is an
