There are lots of men without hair among

bald heads being in the front row is all wrong.
There's something in the stage atmosphere
that is bad for the hair. 1t seems to have no
capillary attraction. Robert Mantell now. the
ladys man, the delicious Robert, is almost as
bad off as Hopper. The girls look at him
with rapture in their eyes for his fine face. his
nose, his chin but most of all his delightful
hair. and he wears a topee. A topee is the
name the stage wigmaker gives to wig for
the top of the head.
In his most passionate moments, when his
fine face lights up. you know how, he wears
a tapee and there is a large bald spot under
it. When he swears that he will love Char

wears a topec. When he stands under Juiet's $
balcony with the moonlight falling lovingly

INDEPENDENT TURNER'S ANNUAL,
Best Exhibition Given i'm Years-Fea-
lures of the Work.

English's Opera House was filled last
night at the annual exhibition given by the
Independent Turnverein Society, which was
the best for years. The precision with
which the class in general, and particularly
smaller members, many of whom were but
tOddlers went through the various exer-
'cises was surprising, and called forth ap-
plause. The class games were highly anus
ing, as the little fellows exerted their ut
most strength to master their opponents
The ladder pyramids, all Of which were
difficult, were given without a break. The
active members on the bar exhibition
showed up in good style. Each member
had a different turn, and executed it with
precision.
The girls in their song "Reigen," in
rounds and calisthenics, presented the pref
tieSt exhibition OF the evening as they inter
twined about each other in bewildering style
without any confusion. The class wrestling
showed the holds in catch-as-catch-can and
Graeco-Roman styles. A Mols, the in
structor, and Frank Schaefer, an active
member, wrestled catch-as-catch-can style
for seven minutes, but neither secured a
fall. The closing number, wand and dumb
bell drilling, was given by the ladies' class
In an even and pretty manner. A. Mols,
the instructor, presented with two
beautiful baskets of flowers during the per-

Grocer Weber Charged with Selling
OleO as Butter.

z. Weber, who runs a grocery at the
corner of Buchanan and Sullivan streets,

Peter Stewart buy a pound of butter of him
yesterday, and shortly afterward sent
little girl in to get some. Taking the pur-
chases, he had them analyZed, and found,
So he charges, that the butter was oleo
without doubt Weber and his clerk were
decidedly dense in their testimony. They
appeared unable to remember anything ac
curately concerning the purchase of the
oleo. The man who sold 1t to them was a
pedder of butter and cheese, and they
bought from him several times, but did not
know his name or even what he looked
like. They bought from him only when
claimed they supposed it was good stuff
had no idea, in fact, that they were buying
OleO. Weber says he has receipts with the
mans name on them.
The Commissioner was apparently not i'm
pressed with the sincerity of the men, and

the oleo. II Weber cannot produce him in
that time the unlucky grocer will be held
to the grand jury in 500 for violating the
internal revenue laws. Weber says the peo-
dler brought him the oleo in ten-pGund
him industriously until he lands him.
Meanwhile, he was informed by the Com
missioner that he must sell no more of the
suspicious butter"

HE KILLED A BAD MAN.
George Schlick, Convict. PardOned by
the Governor.

Governor Matthews yesterday pardoned
young man named George Schlick from the
Prison South where he is serving fifteen
year sentence for killing Richard Cisco in
a saloon in Madison five years ago. Schlick
was nineteen years old at the time or the
tragedy and had always borne an excel
lent character never having been known TO
drink to excess or TO engage in a quarrel.
These statements are substantiated by let
ters from Marcus Sulzer, who was prose-
cutting attorney there at the time, and 9TH
ers.
In August, 1889, Schlick, with a friend.
went into Roeder's saloon in Madison for
a glass of beer. Richard and Robert Cisco,
known throughout the town as tough and
quarrelsome characters, and who were
much larger and stronger than Schlick.
were in the place, and with them was
friend named John Hill, who was of sim
liar stripe. The latter had some words
with Schlick which resulted in his striking
the latter over the head with heavy beer
glass and calling on the cisco s TO heip
him. There was no apparent need for help.
as Schilck was cut in the head and over
matched but the Ciscos, ever ready for
free fight, each picked up chair and
whacked away at Schlick until he was
badly battered up. Evidently thinking ii
well enough to finish the job Richard Cisco

and returned with a big meat knife, where
upon Schlick, bleeding from numerous cuts,
ran out of the back door OF the saloon.
Robert Cisco, who evidently thirSted for
more gore, went home, and getting a shot
gum walked through the street with II TO
the saloon, saying he proposed to Kill
Schlck sight. The latter heard of this
threat, and, his anger having been aroused
over the beating he had received, went
home and, getting a revolver, returned to
Roeder's place, which only two squares
from his home. He was accompanied by a
friend, and they both claim that as he en-
tered the door Richard Cisco, who was sit
ting nearest to ii, arose and made motion
as If to draw a revolver, wherupon Schlick
fired and killed him instantly. Robert Cisco
claimed that Schlick opened the door and
shot his brother without there having been
any move made on the latter's part
The jury was made up altogether of men
from the country, who knew nothing of the
bad character of the Ciscos, and Schick's S
defense did not seem TO bring out that
point to any effect. Richard Cisco the man
who was killed, had been shot in saloon
a few months prior to the tragedy during
a quarrel over a game of cards for money.
This fact seemed to have no weight with
the jury, which found Schlick guilty and
fixed his sentence at fifteen years. This
was in October, 1882 and he has served
four and half years and the court Off
cials at Madison think he has been suffi-
ciently punished. They have urged his par
don. and many citizens have Joined with
them in the petition which was first filed

THE COMING BANK CASE.
Theodore P. Haughey Will Be Put ON
Trial Tuesday.

The final preparations for the great bank
cases are being made, the legal forces are
getting themselves in battle array and on
Tuesday the anxiously awaited trials will
begin in the federal court before Judge
Baker and a jury. Such is the interest in
these cases that the court room will scarce
ly be adequate TO accommodate half the
people who wish TO be present. The first
case to be called is that of Theodore 2.
Haughey and. from present indications. his
trial will occupy from three to four weeks
at least. The governments attorneys have
a. mass of evidence, and Messrs. Duncan
and Smith, Mr.. Haugheys lawyers, have
not been idle these past few weeks, so they,
too, will be ready for hard fight for their
aged client District Attorney Burke his
assistant, Edwin Corr, John w. Kern, who
is specially engaged in aiding the prosecu-
ton and Frank NJ. Hayes, the government
bank expert are at work every day and
night finishing the work of shaping up for
these, the most notable cases or recent
years in the federal court OF this district
After the case against Theodore L.
Haughey has been disposed of Schuyler G.
Haughey will be called for trial. The gov
ernment Is ready, or will be by Tuesday,

If Judge Baker would consent TO a longer
delay. as he has arranged everything for
long siege with these trials. An attorney
who was anxious 10 have a big patent case
set for hearing in the early summer was
informed by Judge Baker yesterday that Ii
would be impossible to take the suit up for
several months, as he expected TO be occu-
pied with the bank cases until midsummer.
Still as the Judge remarked yesterday,
something may intervene to shorten the
trials and IL might not prove as long
siege generally anticipated.
In addition TO the regular panel of thirty
Jurors. an extra one of forty has been
summoned, making seventy in all from
whom to select the jurors to try these
cases OF course. a new jury will be neces-
sary for each case. If the suits were in the
State courts and the jurymen had to come
from some one county il would not be quite
so easy matter to secure them. Where
the entire State can be drawn upon. how
ever, as in the present cases, the problem
becomes comparatively an easy one.
Following Schuyler c. Haughey's trial the
cases will be called as follows: Francis A
Coffin Percival Il. Coffin, Albert s. Reed
Edwin +. Rexford and Robert B. F. Peirce
There are many predictions that the cases
against the two last-named men will never
come TO trial.

ALABAMA-STREET ORDINANCES.
Special Meeting of the Council Called
to Consider Them.

A call has been issued for a special meet
ing of the Council to be held on Monday
night. The purpose of the meeting is to
consider the ordinances for the improve
ment of Alabama street and the sale of
the pesthouse site. The constitutional linn
itation upon the Alabama-street ordinance
will have expired before the time for the
next regular session of the Council, and
Chairman Drew, of the Council committee
on sewers. streets and alleys, in whose
nands the ordinances now are is anxious
to have some action taken upon them by
the Council
The Mayor is also anxious to have some
action taken upon the pesthouse ordinance
as the time Is fast approaching when the
probability of the need of the house will
have arrived. They Mayor, in his message
submitting the ordinances to the Council
at its last session, requested that they
be passed under a suspension of the rules
1t was impossible to do this however, as
there were two members of the Council
absent, and the city attorney upon a
former occasion, had held that the affirma-
tive vote of every member of the Council
was necessary to make the suspension of
the rules valid. All the members of the
Council were served with personal notice

HERRICK'S NEW CLERK
He Employs a Man Without Con-
sulting Civil Service Rules.
The ''Tired" Secretary Says He Pays the
Man Himself = Special Council
Meeting Called for Monday.

Richard Herrick, Democratic clerk of the
Board of Public Safety and secretary of
the civil-service board of examiners has
appointed an assistant to himself without
the formality of compliance with the rules
adopted by the civil-service board. The
duties of Herricks double position, by rea-
son of which he is permitted to retain his
$500 per annum job, contrary to ordi-
nance have proven so onerous that in adj
dition to the patent fire department ap-
paratus," by which he is enabled to open
the inner door of the office without unusual
exertion, he has employed an additional
clerk in the office. The name of the clerk
is Joseph c. Harder, and his duties are
anything that clerk and secretary Herrick
may demand.
Harder has never filed an application for
appointment, as far as can be learned, and
has never passed an examination under the
direction of the board of examiners.
Schedule 1 of Rule of the code of civil
service rules which classify the offices and
positions to be filled under the rules con-
tains the classification of clerks. In Glass
A are those receiving an annual salary of
less than $500, and further provides that
applicants for appointment in Class A shall
be made by competitive examinations. The
schedule further provides:
'For the purpose of making promotions.
the departments employing clerks shall
furnish to the secretary of the board of
examiners monthly record of the efficien-
cy, punctuality and fidelity to duty of the
clerks in it's departments. When a vacancy
occurs in any class above Glass A, it shall
be filled by promotion from the class next
below, from one of the three persons having
the highest average grade in such monthly
records during the preceding year. Pro-
vided, however that should any one of the
three having the highest grade not be Sc
lected, reason shall be given therefor and
made a matter of record in the secretary S
minutes. And provided further, that this
rule shall not apply to the chief clerk of
any bureau"
