Lucretia NJ. Judson, the once tavorlte singer

after nearly fifty years silence. Although
she hears it not herself or knows why or
when it happens, except when told by others
her voice is the same and she sings the same
old songs she used to charm the listeners
with fifty years ago. o.
In many parts of Maine Mrs. Juuson was
recognized in her early, days as possessing a
sweet soprano voice, she was the recognized
leader in that section of the country ana
often received invitations to sing IN the
churches at Portland, Lewiston ana BANGOR
One day few years after her marriage l-er

for music. Since that time she mas never
been known to sing, Many time she mas
been heard to lament the loss OF her voice,
for she loved music so well.

BALD HEADS INDICATED.
Shining Domes Due to Causes Other
than Early Piety.


The microbe of common badness has been
discovered. This announcement Is made by
Dr. E. Sabourand in very lengthy ana
technical article in the Annals de Derma-
tologie the leading French periodical in this
department OF medical science, DR.. Sabour-
and states in the first place that common
badness-calvitie vulgaire, he calls It's
usually accompanied by oily seborrhoea. This
Is an affection of the scalp in which there
Is an excessive flow of sebum, an oily fluid
designed to moisten the scalp. This sebor-
rhoea is caused by mlcrobe, or, to be more
techuical micro-bacillus.
DR.. Sabourand has observed that the colony
of microbes insinuates itself in q tne stream
into the minute opening between the hair
and the epiderms Of the scalp. II causes
an irritation. which is shown by the forma-
tion Of successive horny layers which encyst
the microbe colony. This cyst does not sur
round the hair, but presses against II lit
orally. Then begins the process OF Infection
of the hair follcle, which DR.. SabOurand d.
vides into four stages and describes minutely
The first is the excessive sebaceous secre-
tion. The excessive secretion is soon fol-
lowed by glandular hypertrophy, or exces-
sve growth of the gland. In time new
glandular lobules form and the gland be-
comes enormous. The third stage Is pro-
gressive decay of the infected hair follcle.
A arrangement OF the coloring process OF the
hair takes place. Then the so-called medul-
larry cells cease to form, and the hair dimln-
ishes gradually in size. The fourth and Last
| stage OF the infection is the complete death
of the hair. Its hollow bulb is filled up. II
dies and is eliminated.
treatment of two weeks Will cure an
acute form OF sebOrrheea, but 1t is doubtful
whether permanent cure is possible. Dr.
sdbourand recommends applying three times
a week in the evening TO the scalp pomade
containing sulphur, oil OF cade and yellow
! bioXide. The following morning wash the
head well and brush with alcohol and ether
in equal parts with per cent of resorein.

WANT MONEY TO APPEAL THE CASE.
Belief that an Innocent Indian Has

Bcen Convicted of Murder.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The killing Of a
herdsman named Hoover in Montana near the
northern Cheyenne reservation, which caused
intense excitement at the time and led to
hasty action by the government to avert an
apprehended Indian outbreak. was recalled
today by request which Secretary Bliss re-
ceived from the Indian Rights association.
The latter desires to secure funds to pay the
expenses of an appeal to the Montana su-
preme court in the case of the Indian boy,
Spotted Hawk, condemned to death for
Hoover's murder. Captain Stouch, the agent
for the Tongue river agency, believes the evil
dence on which the boy was convicted to be
false and that an innocent person has been
condemned. The association asks for some
action to stay proceedings and secure the ap-
peal Secretary Bliss however, had already
taken the necessary steps for securing the
boys rights on information previously re-
ceived. An Indian boy named Stanley has
confessed to the murder and implicated Spot
ted Hawk, but it is alleged that there was
only one individual connected with the crime.
