A Duel With Knives.

Special Officer Sanchez, while
walking along Monterey street
early this morning, just after the
moon had set, saw two Mexicans
fighting in the dark with butcher
knives. He could see the long
knives flash fire when they struck
together and ran toward them.
The men separated as he came up
and ran in opposite directions. He
followed one and caught him after
a hard chase and the firing of his
pistol to make him stop. He
proved to be Maxine Rodriguez,
but refused to give the other fell
lows name or cause of the fight.
He was locked up.

Powerful Smokeless Powder.

From the Washington News.
The naval ordnance officials who
are conducting experiments at the
Indian Head proving grounds
with the view Of obtaining a salts
factory smokeless explosive for big
guns were astonished yesterday by
the remarkable results obtained
with sample submitted by an
American company. With 50
pounds of Leonard nitroglycerine
smokeless powder behind a $50
pound projectile in an S-inch rifle,
40 calibers in length, the enormous
muZzle velocity of 2650 feet per
second was secured with pressure
of only AS tons. What a remark
able velocity this is can be appre-
clated only by comparing it with
the best brown hexagonal powder,
the regular service explosive,
which, under similar conditions,
gives but 2lO0 feet velocity with
fifteen tons pressure.
The Leonard powder, however,
is a nitroglycerine compound, and
it's keeping qualities have yet to be
demonstrated. In the naval service,
where the vessels make long
cruises, frequently in tropical
ATTITUDES, explosives composed in
part of nitro-glycerine have deter
iorated rapidly and soon became
unfit for use. If the new powder,
however, meets the expectations
of its makers, who claim to have
provided against the development
of defects by keeping, the navy has
at last secured smokeless explo-
sive incomparably superior to any
possessed by European nations.

woRKINGMEN AND THE TIMES" E"

As showing the position occupied by The
TIMES among the rank and file of the labor
organizations, IN incident occurring only a
few days ago will suffice. One of the strong
est and most progressive OF the building
trades-the plasterers-have rule which re-
quires all its members who are physically
able to be present at the last meeting of the
organization held in the months of June and
December in each year, and it is the habit to
advertise these meetings in the paper or
papers likely 10 be seen by the greatest num-
ber of members. When the matter of this ad-
yertising came up the other evening. as the
secretary of the union Informs Us, it was
moved. seconded. and unanimously carried
that the advertisement be placed in The
TIMES, and no other paper, as it was believed
that every member read this journal and
would look for the announcement only in its
columns. Could anything be more emphatic?
We appreciate the hearty good viii of our
friends and will endeavor to retain it by de-
serving it.

BONDS AND DISTRICT SUFFRAGE.

Some of the labor organizations have de-
clared their opposition to an issue of bonds.
At largely-attended meeting. held last We'd
nesday evening to agitate IN favor of suffrage
for the District, to protest against the con-
tinued disfranchisement OF more than a
quarter of million of people, and TO insist
upon the right of self-government of every
community over which the Stars and Stripes
floats, this question of bonds was touched
upon The sentiment was almost unanimously
antagonistic.
Is there any relation between the opposition
TO the bonds for greatly needed public i'm
provement and the lack of full citizenship on
the part of those SO opposing? Is it not possi
ble that if the question were submitted TO
popular vote the result might be different?
Men are not apt to burden themselves and
their posterity with a mountain of debt and
not have any voice as to how, where, and in
what way the money is to be expended.
Undoubtedly many and extensive public
improvements are imperatively needed here,
and were the way clear for work to begin on
them, great good would result in the employ
ment which would be furnished to large
numbers of mechanics and laborers who are
now idle.
Give the people a chance 10 express them
selves at the ballot-box on matters of this
character, and if it be found impracticable TO
raise by taxation from year to year an amount
sufficient TO meet current expenses and pro-
vide for necessary improvements worthy of
the national capital, it will then be time
enough to talk about bonds.
At any rate. the people should rule in such
matters, and there is no better way of learn
ing their desires than by reinvesting them
with the right to manage their own local
affairs.

necessary. The United States can furnish
homes, happiness, and employment to all In
telligent, Industrious immigrants, but we have
neither room nor work for the ignorant
hordes brought here by protected employers.
Take Pennsylvania as an illustration. That
state has long been the hot-bed OF prohibitive
protection. and with all its wealth is the home
of more destitution, distress, and suffering
than can be found elsewhere in the Union.
Its richest mine owners and manufacturers
are loudest in demanding protection for
American labor" and while proclaiming its
praises, are industriously engaged in dis
placing American wage-earners with the pau
per labor of Europe. Through advantages
given by prohibitive protection they have
created immense fortunes, and to still further
strengthen their position and extend their
influence most of their business enterprises
have been combined in trusts to control our
markets.
Meantime what has the policy Of ''protect-
ing American labor" done for wage earners
in Pennsylvania? Its mills, mines, and fac
tories are filed with hordes of ignorant for
eigners, wages have been cut to starvation
limits, and Pennsylvania has become noto-
rious for scenes of rioting, bloodshed, and
destruction OF property. This statement of
facts will apply to most industries built up by
prohibitive protection, and in every instance
employers have been the principal bene-
flciaries.

THEORIES ABOUT BADNESS.
Why Does the Hair Fall Ont on the Top Of
the Head and Not Elsewhere?

Why Does the Hair Fall Ont on the Top of
the Head and Not Elsewhere?
In these degenerate days there are a great
many men whose heads are bald, and the con-
sequence is that a large proportion of any
community will be found to be interested in
the subject of hair. on the principle. presum-
ably, that most Of US are given to thinking
about and placing high value upon what
We haven't got and can't by possibility obtain.
When a man once loses his hair il is gone for
ever. and about that time he is not unlikely
to begin TO inquire what is good for the hair,
what causes badness. aud whether 1t is best
to have the head shaven or singed-all too
late.
A question that often arises and is seldom
answered twice in the same way is as TO why
the hair falls out on the top OF the head and
not at the back and ON the Sides The old
fashioned theory is that badness occurs
within the lines marked by Il mans hat. and,
as nobody has ever offered conclusive proof
TO TIE contrary, that explanation may be tho
correct one.
The case was stated the other day to two
very intelligent BARRIERS. One OF them thought
that the reason why badness occurred at the
top of the head was that the brain came clos
est to the surface there. and this being an age
in which many brains are kept going at high
tension, the abnormal amount of blood thus
carried to the Uranium produced kind of
fever in the upper scalp. Fevers. as is we'll
known. often result in the falling out of the
hair.
The second barber gave variety to the dis
cussion 10y enlarging upon the notion tha. he
had formed from the observation and retiec-
tion OF many years.
s'You will notice. said he. ''that the frs.
hair baby has comes in on the top OF the
head and falls out before the child is many
weeks old. The hair that comes to stay
grows thicker and stronger on the sides and
at the back. and | have an idea that the growth
on the top OF the head is always the weakest
from infancy on to old age"
but how do you account for the fact that
women 10 not grow bald as men do?" queried
a skeptcsi listener.
Account for it? l don't have TO account
for it, replied the ready-witted second ba--
ber st isn't so. Why, used to work in
an establishment where they had nine chairs
in the mems department and eleven in the
women's and l want 10 tell you that learned

do the number OF women who have false hair
so ar;istically arranged that nobody can tell
1t from their own natural tresses you wouldn't
ASK why men grow bald and the other sex
doesn't

subject as well as BARRIERS and some OF them
are very plausible But II You should ask
