A HOPEFUL VIEW.

No one who knows Ex-Mayor Abram
s. Hewitt will accuse him OF optimism
But before he left for Europe last Sat
urday he drew very hopeful picture
of affairs and OF the prospects for the
future In this country.
Mr.. Hewitt declares that the condi-
ton Of mankind Is better to-day than
ever before; that labor gets higher
wages and the wage buys more; that
the world produces more than ever. and
It's products are more evenly divided.
The aggregate OF unemployed labor Is
great, but no Is the aggregate OF unem-
ployed capital. and when enterprise
sets the one free II will decrease the
other. Mr.. Hewitt believes that the
settlement OF the tariff question has
already revived business. and that
activity will speedily succeed the recent
protracted inactivity.
Mr. Hewitt says he does not sympa-
thize with personal attacks on such men
as Gilroy and Croker. They want good
government, and are ready to do their
best to secure 1t, but they also want
Tammany to get the profit, and OF that
the ex-Mayor does not approve. He de-
sires reform from another direction. He
would restrict the suffrage and make
Judges appointive. and he considers the
British system OF government the best
now in existence"
As Mr.. Hewitt lays the blame OF our
municipal evils on the good citizens,
the good business and professional men
who are spoken of as the bone and sinew
OF our municipalities" and who have
sat supinely by while those municipali-
ties have been and are governed by for
eigners," he will doubtless return home
before election, and as one OF the new
Committee Of Seventy do his best TO
remedy the ills Of which ne complains.

part Of the earth is on the equator which is an
imaginary line midway between the imaginary
poles, all around the earth. so the one that bets

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. l7.-Chalk
Michael. aged nineteen years. Is living

ence of opiates, given to overcome the
spasms of an attack of hydrophobia
He has never been bitten by a rabid dog
or other animal, and what makes the
case remarkable in the annals of medi-
cal science is that his trouble Is sup
posed to come from sympathetic ex-
citement on account OF his younger
brother, who was one of the nine per
sons bitten by a supposed rabid dog
about five weeks ago.
The brother has not suffered from the
enects or his wounds, which were severe

An attractive black corset Is the fancy

trade comes in variety Of
stripes. There are single lines in
white. pink, blue and yellow, and clus-
ters of two. three and five lines. When
the corset is stitched and ready for
the bones 1t goes to the embroidery
room. where discs. crescents. stars. crys-
tails and flower patterns are hand or
machine stitched with floss. The weav-
ers' and decorators work is so cleverly
done that it is difficult to tell sateen
from a satin corset.

Scalp Einollient.

The natural condition of a healthy
scalp is warmth and moisture. A dry
scalp is unhealthy, even though it
shows no signs of disease, and artificial
oil must be provided If the hair crop is
to be saved. Almond OIL cocoanut but
