Unless the unforeseen happens San Di-

establishment of normal school. Lib

get the appropria ton. None of the money
collected from that city and county in

of public appropriations of any nature,
and in the establishment of a normal

state will do wise and proper act.

Home Made Shampoo Soap

An excellent soap, to be used in sham
pooling the hair, is made of a quarter of
i pound Of white CASTLE soap, one ounce
of borax and pintof soft water. Sim
mer all together till a cream; then add
a third of a pint of boiling water; stir
and pour into small stone jar. When
cold, the mass will be like very thick
cream. Have plenty of soft water for
the hair bath, or if hard water, boil and
let it settle; then pour off and use. Take
up little Of the soap and rub into the
scalp, parting the hair to do so. Do this
till the hair is soapy and the scalp
smarting a little; then put half a tea
spoonful of powdered borax in the bowl
of water and wash the hair through that
and two other bowls of clear water.
Usually one application of the soap is
enough. Once month is quite frequent
enough for the shampoo, and 1t will keep
the hair beautifully soft and shining. A
little vaseline may be rubbed on the skin
of the scalp after drying the hair, if it
inclines to be Washington

Street Car Courtesy

The small man with the eyeglasses
was reading a paper and did not notice
that comely young woman was stand
ing up near him.
Presently he raised his eyes and saw
her.
He took off his glasses, placed them
in the case, put the case in an inside
pocket, folded the newspaper he had
been reading, put it in pc cket of his
overcoat, rose to his feet and said to the
young woman:
"Madam"-being an American he said
madam and not madame-"you can have
my seat"
Without a word she sat down.
He grasped the strap she had been
holding and stood looking out through
the car window.
Five minutes passed.
Then the young woman spoke.
Il am much obliged for the seat" she
remarked, Il would have said so at first,
only 1 thought you got up because you
were going to leave the car"
The small man said it was all right.
Five minutes more passed.
Then he began to think.

And he went to the other end of the
car and steadied himself for the next

Cotton suddenly led with the right and
landed heavy left counter on the neck,
Burns clinching. Just as time was
called Burns made another rush and
landed on the negro's ribs as he ducked
almost under the ropes.
Fourth round-Burns came up bleed
ing from an abrasion under the right eye
where he had been hit in the second
round. Little fiddling was done, and
both led at the same time, Cotton land
ing on the head, Burns countering on
the ribs. Burns rushed at Cotton like q
mad bull. swinging his right chasing
Cotton around the ring, but without re-
suit. Cotton swung with his right for
the head and missed, following it up by
a left on the ribs at which Burns
clinched again. Burns again tried the
rushing tactics missing and being
clinched. Burns was forcing the fight

Burns with a left swing, but he famed
the air and barely escaped a terrible

at his head. Burns got in with right an l

BROTHERS SPILL BLOOD
A Sanguinary Encounter Between the
Young Dietrichs
Charley Saw Ernest Home and Then the
Pavement Felt Them Both-His
Brothers Keeper

A slugging match took place at Eighth
and Spring streets last night about y
o'clock that was more effective from a
sanguinary point of view than the con-
test between Cotton and Burns. The
contestants were two brothers named
Dietrich. One of them, Ernest, had Sc
cured a fighting jag up town, and in
some manner obtained admission to the
ball at Turner hall. Upon making dis
turbance he was elected from the hall
and forcibly taken to his home by his
brother Charley in hack. Arriving 1t
his home Ernest refused to go in, and
when Charley tried to force him to do
so struck his brother several sledge-
hammer blows, finally knocking him
down. This reused Charley's blood, AMI
he retaliated by sending brother Ernest
to the pavement. The brothers fought
desperately for some time, Ernest get-
ting the worst of the encounter, his sum
of injuries amounting to a badly bat
tered face, bitten ear and finger.
Finally Charley jumped into the hack
and came back up town, leaving his bat
tered brother to his own resources.

It took just six rounds for Joe Cotton
to knock out Jim Burns of Chicago at
the Athletic club last night, and he didn't
have very hard work at that The ne
gro clearly demonstrated his superiority
and it was only because he lost his head
in the fifth round that Burns was not
put out sooner. AS a wrestler Burns
is all right, but he is certainly outclassed
as boxer by such men as Cotton and
Gallagher. Three times in the fifth
round he was sent to the floor staying
down each time from four to nine sec
onds, and the call of tiipe was all that
saved him. In the sixth Cotton follow
ed up his advantage and sent his man
down with a right and left on the ribs.
The timekeeper had counted nine before
Burns struggled to his feet, only to be
telled again by straight blow on the
head. Again he took the full nine Sec

SeIfish and Dishonest

The action of the assembly in refusing
to oust Duckworth was probably due
to two views of the situation-one thor
oughly selfish, the other honest. There
can be no doubt that a large number Of
the members feared to demand Duck
worth's official head for fear that the
same action would result in exposures
which would be the death knell to their
own ambitions. They therefore voted
against Waymire's resolution. The 9TH
er view was that taken by members
who were themselves entirely free from
any suspicion of being connected with
the scandal, but felt that Duckworth
was merely the scapegoat for others
more guilty than he, and they declined
to make him the victim, while the real
culprits went unpunished.-San Bernar-
