SOMETHING IN A NAME
Case Whsrc a Similarity OF Names Gets a
Man in Trouble.

The Daily Sun of Richmond, Ind, in
It's issue of December 10, reports the
case where the similarity of names in
volved man in a serious difficulty The
travelling man in the following case, Mr.
George H Lloyd, formerly resided here.
He is well and favorably known in this
city, he was in the harness business
here for number of years at 401 East
Douglas avenue. The Sun gives the fol-
lowing version of the difficulty:
In the mail from Greenfield, Ohio,
Thursday, was a letter addressed to
George H. Lloyd. containing draft, but
as no one by that name resided mere,
the carrier took the letter Geo. W. Lloyd
OF number 203 North Twentieth street,
who received it and opened it and at
once presented the draft to the First
National bank for payment This was re-
fused because he was unknown, but he
got a friend to come with him who iden-
titled him as George II. Lloyd. and the
bank cashed the draft, which called for
$50.
The company who sent out the draft
was L. McClain Manufacturing Co.
and the money was intended for their
travelling representative, who arrived
this morning and called at the general
delivery for his mail When told there
was none for him he was much sur
prised. The firm which Mr.. Lloyd rep
resents manufactures sweat pads for
horse collars. and the money sent him
was part of his monthly salary. The
letter containing the draft reads as fol-
lows:
Greenfield. O, Dec. l.. 90.
''Mr. Geo H. Lloyd, Richmond. Ind:
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find New
York exchange for $40, which amount
we charge 10 your salary account. Kind
ly receipt for same. Respectfully,
e. L. MCLAIN MFG. CO"
when George W. received the money
he al once receipted for the same and
the righiful owner received a telegram
from his firm telling him OF the matter.
So he al once telegraphed the New York
bank and stopped payment on the draft.
In a talk Mr.. Geo. W Lioyd's moth

street. told us that her son was expect
ing some money from New York and

man, VINO Was Thrown Over One Hun
dred Feet But Escaped With Severe
Rruises-Three Cars are Piled up in the
Wreck.
Yesterday afternoon at 2:S0 o'clock a
bad wreck occurred on the Englewood
branch of the Santa Fe. It occurred
about two miles west OF Mulvane, and
was caused either by defective car OF
overlooking.
AL Strait. brakeman who resides al
A08 South Emporia avenue, received
several very severe bruises and it seems
hardly possible that ne should have es-
capped being killed.
The train was running eastward at the
rate OF about thirty miles per hour,
when suddenly and without warning
box-car loaded with shelled corn col
lapsed. This necessarily made an OBJ
struction on the track and the two ears
Immediately following behind were en-
tangled in the wreck in an instant.
Strait was standing in the next car be-
hind the one which collapsed. 1t was
fal-car ip3Qcu With COal GUN GC W dS
thrown violently off TO one side, and il
was indeed a lucky thing that he was,
for the flying coal, iron and timDers
WAS TO very pleasant affair to be in the
midst OF. He was picked UP beyond
barbed wire fence which runs along the
right Of way. It was a very long aerial
flight, but no doubt saved his life. The
distance WAS said to be about 100 feet.
He was severely bruised upon the left
side. He was taken TO Nulvane and
sent UP to this city and a carriage await
ing thearrival OF the train took him to
his home. DR.. Purdue attended to his
injuries and reported him resting quite
comfortably last night, and prophesied
mis- speedy recovery.
The cars were badly demolished. The
car which broke down was, OF course,
the most badly demolished, while the
two next following were also pretty
badly torn up. The remainder Of the
train following these by its momentum,
rushed the other cars on into the wreck.
It all happened SO quick that no one
knew what had happened, until it was
all over with. The rear end came TO
very sudden stop, which threw those IN
the caboose off their feet in very I'M
ceremonious manner, but luckily no one
was injured. A wrecking gang were
soon put TO work on the wreckage, and
by last night the track was clear again.

Programme of Unsle Sam, According to
Latest Report From Madrid.
MADRID, Sept. 49,. The arrival Of
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has caused sensation.
The programme Of the United States
has been ascertained.5 This does not
contemplate declaration of war if
Spain rejects mediation, but, according
to report, an OBSERVATIONS proclama
ton to the world Of disapproval Of the
Cuban regime by suspending diplomatic
relations with Spain and withdrawing
the United States minister. General
Woodford has declined to be inter
viewed on the subject further than to
say that his conference with the Duke
Of Tetuan, the foreign minister, was of
the most satisfactory character. The
g.. Bitterness of Press and Public
has painfully impressed him, but he
hopes this will sccl he allayed, as he
believes his mission favorable to Span
ish Interests anu CaLnOJ comprehend
that Spain could re3ect mediation de-.
signed to end al ,i1l cyerisning war.
He has lot named Ii tine at~wllch the
war must be terNinateu, but he hopes,
as the result of his tenders, that it will
be ended quickly. He believes the war
is incalculable loss upon the United
States and that it is impossible to pre-
vent the organization of filibustering
expeditions. .s
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but
the trip was quite uneventful. A
party of gendarmes, commanded by a
sub-lieutenant, guarded the Southern
express on which he was passenger.
Secret Police Were at the Station,
and the project Of police was waiting
to escort him to his hotel. The drive
through the streets was marked by no
special incident, though several people
saluted him, receiving bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family
did not accompany him, but rem2ined
behind the French frontier. General
Woodford explained that his party was
a large one, requiring a large home.
The legation cannot be used as a resi-
dence. General Woodford has already
engaged a box at the Royal Opera
house and has purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
m ents at the Hotel Rome, but received
official visits at the legation, where he
passed the entire morning. 49,. .

Fail to see What Austria Could Do in

LONDON, Sept. 28.-A dispatch to The
Standard from Madrid says: The ru-
NOR of Austrian mediation between
Spain and the United States in the
event of hostilities has created surprise
mingled with much incredulity. Span
iards fail to see what Austria could do
unless seconded by naval powers, or at
least by the com bined pacific action of
several governments.

A HARVEST OF HI NJ AN HAIR.


Millions Of Pounds Evsry Yeer Get Tangled
Up IN Commsroe. ~
Perhaps there is no staple article
about which less is known BY the aver
age person than human hair Is an ar
ticle Of commerce It will doubtless
surprise many when it Is stated that
the dealers IN human hair goods do not
depend on chance clippings here and
there, but that there is q regular hair
harvest that can always be relied upon
II is estimated that over IL, 600, 900
pounds Of human hair are used annu-
ally in the civilized world for adorning
the heads Of women. In New York city
alone over four tons Of this class Of
goods are imported yearly. 5 .=.s
Not q little Of the hair used in this
country, = said anew York dealer to
the writer, i comes from the heads Of
American women, and it is fully as fine
in shade and texture as the imported ar
ticle.. We had q big harvest during the
craze that the fair sex had not long ago
for having their hair cut short. Many
thousands of women who then had their
locks sheared have since bitterly regret
ted it, as in many instances their hair
has grown SO slowly that they have
been compelled to wear q wig or q
switch since the fashion changed After
the majority Of womea reach the age Of
80 the hair seems to partially lose it's
vigor, and if cut it will not grow long
again.
1.-TWO thirds Of the ladies nowadays
use false hair more or less The decree
Of fashion, or the desire to conceal de-
feet or heighten a charm, is the reason
Of course. One woman, for instance,
has high forehead and wishes to re-
duce it in appearance Another has
worn off the front hair by continued
frizzing and would like to conceal the
fact. Both make use of front or top
piece, with a choice of many styles.
Ladies' wigs cost from $40 to 5000;
half wigs, top pieces and switches from
SO to $50, according to quality.
'The largest supply of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany and the
French provinces There is a human
hair market in Merlans, in the depart
ment Of the lower Pyrenees, held every
Friday. Hundreds of hair traders walk
up and down the one street of the vii
lage, their shears dangling from their
belts, and inspect the braids which the
peasant girls, standing on the steps Of
the houses, let down for inspection. #
a bargain is struck, the hair is cut and
the money paid on the spot, the price
varying from 60 cents to SIS in our
money.
"A woman's hair may grow to the
length of s feet, and I know a lady
who has been offered and refused $500
for her crown Of glory, which is over
6 feet long: A single female hair will
bear up a weight of four ounces with
out breaking, but the hair thus heavily
weighted must be dark brown, for blond
hair breaks under a strain Of ~ ounces
There are some 2, 900 importers, manu-
facturers and dealers in human hair in
the United States. - Washington Star
