Difficulty in the Way of Using Troops
to Preserve Peace in Alaska.

WASHINGTON, July 27-Legal complica
tons which have presented themselves may
yet intervene to prevent the detail of a
company of United States troops to Alaska
TO assist in maintaining peace in the Klon-
dixie region. These complications presented
themselves as soon as the subject was first
preached, and have been the source of some
annoyance to the officials, who feel that a
law-preserving body of men is essential to
the well-being of the people who are flock
ing TO the gold country. No doubt appears
70 be entertained of the power of the Presi-
dent TO send q comr5ny of soldiers, but the
question raised is il st what authority they
win have after being located there. Can
they be ordered out to quell disturbance
without an order from the President? Can
Judge of a court or a marshal be clothed
with authority TO dispatch the soldiers to
the scene of trouble? Even if this power
rested with the Governor of Alaska he is
located at Sitka, great distance from the
gold region, and by the time his authority
could have be obtained the harm would be
done The question was discussed by the
President and Secretary Alger at the White
House tonight, but decision was
reached. Secretary Alger thinks the matter
will be settled before the residents de-
parture from the city tomorrow. The
President and his Cabinet hope that a salts
factory conclusion may be arrived at so
that a detachment of soldiers can be sent
to the territory.

PostoMce InvestigntiOn.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The postmaster
general has designated a commission, con-
sisting of Division Superintendent Pepper,
of the railway mail service at Cleveland
o.; superintendent of Mails Montgomery,
of the Chicago postoffice, and Postoffice
Inspector Baird, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, to make an investigation
and report on the Office of superin-
tendent of mails at New York. The in
quiry has no connection with the PERSONAL
ity of that office, but is to be made with
the view of making the place model one.
The post, in view especially of the Greater
New York extension, is one of the most i'm
portant of government offices and the idea
is to make a thorough inquiry as to the
office and all matters connected with it,,
the duties of the superintendent and his
employees, methods of distribution and dis
patch of the mails, etc. Second Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger has
strong hopes that by the aid of this COM
mission he will be able to make valuable
improvements on present methods. The
members of the commission were here to-
day and had a long conference with Mr.
Shallenberger. The work will be undertaken
soon.

A HARVEST OF HUMAN HAIR
Millions of Pounds Every Year Get Tangled
Up In Commerce.

Up In Commerce.
Perhaps there is no staple article
about which less is known by the aver
age person than human hair as an ar
ticle Of commerce 1t 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 a regular hair
harvest that can always be relied upon.
It is estimated that over 100000
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.
"Not little of the hair used in this
country, said New York dealer to
the writer, comes from the heads Of
American women, and it is fully as fine
in shade and texture as the imported ar
ticle. We had big harvest during the
craze that the fair sex had not long age
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 a wig or a
switch since the fashion changed. After
the majority of women reach the age OF
| 80 the hair seems to partially lose its
vigor, and if cut it will not grow long
again.
tTwo-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 toI
piece, with choice of many styles.
''Ladies' wigs cost from $40 to 5000
half wigs, top pieces and switches from
$40 to $50, according to quality.
