for Prosperity. Expecters.
New York. June 2S.-Secre.ary Of the
Interior Bliss. while in this city yester-
day, spent most OF his time among the
banks and business houses in which his
presence FOR many years past has been
an almost daily feature and from which
he has been greatly missed since his
acceptance Of a cabinet portfolio and his
necessary absence IN Washington. The
information ne possessed was eagerly
sought by his old associates. but the Sec
rotary was unusually guarded in mis- ex-
pressions Of opinion on all matters. and
on local politics he was as silent as the
deep. Those who talked with him on the
business s,tuat ton. though, learned that
ne takes a most hopeful view Of the
future, and that he has the May and
June figures from his own large bust
ness enterprises TO back up his declara-
ton on the subject. While Secretary
Bliss was discussing the prosperi:y-in-a-
DAY fever that has taken mold II some
people, they were likaned by che OF the

tary of the interior, he would have some
experience with that class of people. just

of their Impotence to attain in a day

over the comparison.

Do You Use 1t?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruf, c1eanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

Detroit, Mich, July 19,-About 500 per-
sons saw John r. Gentry and Robert J..
pace exhibition miles at the Crosse Point
track to-day. Gentry made the mile in
2;04ls, Robert J. was a second slower. The
track was in fine condition, but the air
was rather oppressive and scarcely ideal
for record breaking
In the 200 pace, Silver Charm was the
favorite, but he gave no indications of
doing anything for his hackers. John
Dickerson, with Josephine, stepped off
three good miles and won each heat with
out having to be fully extended.
Red Seal was the first choice in the 3
year-od pace, with Patchen Boy second
in demand. Red Seal finished third in the
first heat, which was won in 2:19, and sec
ond in the next heat, which was made in
215h. In consideration of Red Seals
showing last week when he demonstrated
his ability to go in 2:l0 the judges de-
cided to change Transfers so they took
Erwin out and put Geers in his place.
The time made in the specials was a
disappointment, and Mr.. Browne, who
drove them. says that rain and heavy
tracks at Montreal and Manchester pre-
vented him from getting Gentry or Rob
ert J. on edge. They leave here Tuesday
night for Chicago.
