AN AMUSING CASE.
Hair Tonic In Court-BnId-Hcaded
Men Testify.

ONANCOCK. VA. May 1s.-(Specal)-
A very amusing case recently came up
before Justice George f. Parker at Ac-
comac Courthouse. Last winter a drug
gist OF this county purchased from "a
patent-mcdlclne frm preparation that
was warranted to in1ce hair grow on bald
heads News of wonderful hair-oil
spread Throughout community. and the
stock OF IL on Ia Is soon exhausted.
The druggist, haN. Durchased the pre-
raration on a Eulialtco. sold 1t on the
condition that II it failed to produce hair
nothing was to be paid for II. The pre-
paration proved a dismal failure, but the
proprietors demanded payment from the
druggist. and when he resisted payment
they warranted him. -Four bald-headed
men, who had given the patent remedy
a fair and persistent trial, were present to
testify for the defence After hearing
their testimony, and inspecting their bald
heads. Justice Parker rendered his de-
cslon in favor of the druggist. one OF
the witnesses testified that he had used
four bottles on his head and that the
more he used the faster his hair disap-
peared Altogether, IL was very novel
and ludicrous case. and. i'm the hands OF
such a lawyer as Hon. John T. Wise
would have been turned into a most
laughable comedy.
SHEEP KILN DOGS
The Supervisors of Accomac. at their
recent meeting rejected the claims of
a number OF citizens for damages result
ing from the killing Of their sheep by
dogs. The claims were not allowed. be-
cause the persons presenting them had
not complied with the provision Of the
law. requiring those who have sheep and
other stocks killed ,v dogs not their own,
TO have such shcc ether stock viewed
and valued by an' fcrs appointed by a
justice of the pea,
LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
The chairman OF the Law and order
League for Accomac has Issued call Tor
meeting OF that organization here to-
morrow. 10 adopt measures for a rigid en-
forcement of the local-optlon law now in
operation in all the districts OF Accomac
and In one district of Northampton. The
change I'm tho law made by the last
General Assembly, by which the yiolators
OF the local-option law are to be tried
before justices OF the peace. renders IL
necessary IN the opinion of the advo-
Gates of the local-opton that local COM
mittees be organized in every neighbor-
hood to see that all infractions of the law
are detected and punished.
DRY WEATHER.
The long continued dry weather is
proving very disastrous TO truckers ana
farmers in this part OF the state All
early truck Is very backward. and
many OF the crops have already been cut
short fully one half. This ls true espe-
cially Of strawberries and green peas. In
fact. some farmers have pioughed up
their pea-helds, and are planting the land
IN corn.

This generation is SO accustomed to
wonders that comparatively little at
tention was attracted by the really
marvellous feat performed Monday
evening by an electric current gem
rated at Niagara Falls. This current.
which started the machinery of the
electrical exposition in New York City
completed it's circuit by passing
through New Orleans. San Francisco,
St Paul and Augusta. firing cannons
at each OF those places at practically
the same moment. The marvel dis
played by the exhibits at the eXposi-
ton was really the greater, however.
There was shown almost every kind of
electrical apparatus, the number of
which is legion and includes that
which keeps q poultice warm and that
which carries Il heavy freight train up
steep grade. 1t is said the delegates
to that exposition represented wealth
to the amount of $3.50. 900. 900. most OF
which has been created within the past
ten or twelve years.

A man, who has undergone such a
nervous strain as must be insep lrable
from the task that Police Commissioner
Roosevelt of New York set himself to
perform and did perform 50 far rs lay
in his power. and who has been bad
gered on every hand and beset with
every conceivable snare that the liquor
and political interests of New York
could devise, is in a condition such that
triies may upset his equilibrium. This
is the evident excuse for Mr.. Roose-
velts recent "slop over" Then we
presume Teddy has Il temper of his
own ana there should be no doubt by
this time that he has plenty of fight
in his composition. Nevertheless he
will not retain his hold on the respect
of people generally unless he keeps
u better grip on his temper.

Doesn't Like It's Own Medicine.

Occasionally some mill management
is quoted as having said that the choice
must be made between cut down and
shut down unless the market speed
lily improves. A cut down ought not
to enter into the contingency. one
great reason why there is no better
market is that there have been so
many cut downs. 1t has been cut
down upon cut down for the last four
years. until manufactured goods Of all
kinds are pling up in the store houses
because the people have no money
with which to buy them. Wages have
been screwed down to the lowest notch
in every line. The working people.
who constitute the market have only
the means to purchase the bare neces-
saries Of life and the fewest of them
that they can get along with.
Biddeford Record. Democratic.-Con
fession is good for the soul The Re
cord never before has fiinched when
called upon by partisan policy to de-
uounce in unmeasured terms what the
Democratic party was pleased to term
the 'robber tariff" 1t will probably
do the same thing over again. 1t
helped to make the hard times. the
cut downs and the shut downs now ex-
listing and yet persists in telling the
people that half loaf is worse than
none at all. while the causes which
have brought it about. are, we suppose.
the NiSest and best magma Bile in the
opinion of the Record.

Harmon Speaks.

Ii was only a few months ago that
the new attorney general, Mr.. Har-
mon, was discovered and but few
weeks after that pcrtentous event be-
fore he disclosed his calibre in the way
of protest against the EXPRESSION by
private American citizens of Senti-
ments favorable to the cause of Cuba
Possibly Harmon learned Il thing Oh
two from that ridiculous experience
Possibly no thinks he has learned a
thing or two concerning President
Cleveland's attitude on the Cuban
question. If so he is probably en-
dowed with second sight or else in his
free and easy rambles about tn,
White House has stumbled upon that
attitude carefully concealed in roll of
cotton batting snugly tucked away in
some crevice in the executive man
sion.
1t may be possible that some such
good luck as this has befallen Mr.
Harmon. And so it may be that he
spoke by the card the other day
when he declared that lin all probable
ity the Cuban revolution will be ter
minated within six months" OF
course this is a Delphic utterance. 1t
may be interpreted to signify that
Harmon doesn't know what he is talk
ing about--a not altogether remarkable
conclusiOn-or 1t may signify that
President Cleveland is to recognize the
Cuban insurgents, or that he thinks
he can exert the influence of this gov
eminent to compel the insurgents to
accept disgraceful terms from Spain.
Anyhow Harmon has spoken. which
is something, we suppose.
