rHE BEL1A1RE SCHOOLS.

A Magnificent Audience Greeted the
Graduates OF the Belalre High
School. RS
At no time in recent years has there
been hall large enough In Bellaire
to accommodate the audiences that
turn out on commencement occasions,
and last night was not an exception to
the rule. The auditorium OF the First
NJ. E. church was packed in every part
by as fine IN sassemblage as could be
gathered in the city. Tho decorations
abou. the choir vestlbule md the pull
pit were elaborate and tasty. The class
colors, red, white and blue. were con-
spicuous, and seemed very appropriate,
giving inspiration to the class MEM
beers, and lending interest TO the, audi
ence.
After music, Rev. o. W. Holmes
made fervent and earnest prayer. In
the programme that followed tho parts
were rendered in such an admirable
manner that special mention can not
be made OF each one OF SO large class,
and to pick out the best would do injus-
tice to the others. Suffice It to say that
the well-chosen subjects were handled
In 2 q way that reflected great credit
upon the peformers' teachers and su-
perlntendent, and the splendid audi
ence manifested Its appreciation of
each number in no unmistakable way.

WHITE INDIAN CHIEF.
THOMAS RODDY ELECTED TO RULE
OVER THE WlNNEBAGoES.

Has Traded with Them and Understands
Th~'- Needs Acted as Arbiser of Their
Disr rtes-BIack Hawk Named Him as
His Successor Called "white Buffalo,"
Black Hawk, the aged chief of the Win
rsbago Indians. has put aside the burdens
of office. A new line OF succession has
been established and peace reigns over the
warning factions of the tribe. Thomas Il.
Roddy, tho well known merchant of Black
River Falls. Wis, known among the tribe
as white Buffalo is Black Hawks sue:
cessor.
Mr. Roddy Is a native of Illinois and
was born at Peoria 40 years ago. His ia
ther moved to Black River Falls when the
present chief was an infant. Thus eaI ly
thrown among Indians he acquired their
language, which he speaks with the flu
ency of native. For many years he has
traded with them, thoroughly understand
ing their needs and peculiarities. He has
been the arbiter of their disputes, and
many feud has been settled by his inter
vention.
One of the acts performed by MIR. Roddy,
which gave him high standing among
members OF the Winnebago and Chippewa
tribes. occurred a few years ago. The
| tribes for "a long time had been deadly
! foes. MIR. Roddy called u council and in
| vited the leading braves of both to a great
| feast. On the appointed day the hostile
| bands appeared, bcdecked in their most
savage costumes. 1t looked as il hostilites
would open at once. Roddy mounted an
| improvised rostrum, requested the Indians
TO stack their arms and divest themselves
of tomahawks and knives. With sullen
looks they reluctantly obeyed his com
mand. He spoke TO them for an hour,
| showing them tho horrors of war and
| pointing out the beauties of living In har-
mony and peace. At the conclusion Of his
address the leaders Of the tribes came for
ward and shook hands. With much cere.
mony the Ratchet was buried compact
| between the tribes was signed and pledges
Of friendship extended.
| Since then the compact has not been
| violated. Roddy was hailed as "White
| Buffalo" the peacemaker, and his eleva
ton To his present exalted position in the
tribe marks the beginning OF an epoch in
Indian history, as he is undoubtedly the
first white man elected to rule over the
historic tribe of the Winnebagoes. The
action of Black Hawk in naming Mr.
| Roddy as his successor was confirmed In
the council of the band, though not with
| out some opposition. Green Cloud, noted
scout, who served his country during tht
war; has been candidate for the chief
ship since the line Of succession wal
broken by the death Of George Blacl
Hawk. The only son OF the old chief
George, was killed in bloody knife en-
counter with Jim Swallow, near Blacl
River falls, four years ago, leaving hi
aged father, now 81, the last Of line o

AMERICANS HAVE GREAT couaAes.
Possibilities In Long Distance Electric
Power Transmission.

The feasibility OF power transmission
by means OF electricity over distances of
limited extent had been clearly demon.
strated I'm tho long years of experience
with the direct current, but transmission
by means OF the direct current speedily
reached limit beyond which, for econom-
ical reasons, it became inadvisable to 90.
Yet it was transmitted over very long dis.
tanoes. How best to effect this became
the urgent question of tho hour.
The direct current was perforce discard
ed, ard the alternating current called into
requisition. Attainment of an economic
al solution was by no means easy. Diff.
,ulty after difficulty arose. recurring
countless experiments to elucldate, and
alteration after alteration in machinery
was made, involving the expenditure of
vast sums. by successive and painful
stages solution was finally reached. and
Today tho long distance transmission of
power by electricity Is an established
economic fact of potentially which seems
limited In its comprehensiveness only by
the exhaustion of the available natural
forces of the earth.

BY far the greatest number Of the long
distance transmission installations of the
world are situated in the United States.
The American seems endowed with the
courage Of temerity and is willing to
adopt new thing with promise only
where other nationalities demand assur-
ance or proof. A possibility has special
attraction for the American mind, and the
risk of its realization is willingly run. II
Is this spirit that has covered the United

a network of electric car lines over every
city of any Importance in its boundaries

A True Mother.

can that over heard of Sir John Muir

Hill in his autobiography. At Edinburgh,
under his hospitable roof, were often gath
cred the most distinguished men Of his
time. This marvelously genial person,
whose qualities were good nature, a love
Of .humor and love CT pleasant society,
formed central figure round whom they

high sense of honor.
An old lady who had quarreled with her

he found himself, to his great SURPRISE
possessed of wealth, while the heir pre-
sumptive found himself penniless. Sir
John made inquiries into the character of
the young man, and, receiving satisfactory
answers, he quietly transferred back to
him the whole property.
Soon after this lady called upon Sir
Johns mother, and, indignant ut what
seemed to her an act of quixotism, de-

The Time TO sleep.

Tho truth of the old adago that one hour
of sleep before midnight is worth two hours
after midnight Ii questioned by DIR. Ell
Colby, who states that he has made some
study of the subject while in the naval
service during the war. The ships CON-
pany on ship boar,l--ofliccrs and men alike
stand four hours watch day and night,
with the Interpolation of dog watch OF
two hours to change the time of each set
of men on successive days. These men
are therefore OK ligcd To get their required
sleep very irrogularly, but In more than
two, years observation DIR. Colby could
never discover that the watch officers and
men were not as fully refreshed by their
eleeb.as were the officers Of the ship who
were required to stand no watch at all.

STRUGGLED GOODS.
Custom House Sales Among the Favories
4 Diversions of Women.


Buying at custom. house seizure sale
has the excitement of a lottery. A woman
who makes point of attending the semi
annual custom house sales OF unclaimed,
abandoned and seized goods" recently
bought Paris gown and bottle OF cpl
ieptic medicine the latter under the i'm
preston that she was investing In bot
tie of wine. The ''seized'' or Struggled
goods are more enticing than those merely
"unclaimed" Whereas few except trades
people attend the sales Of the latter goods,
many women of social standing are either
personally present or are represented when
tho struggled articles are auctioned OFF.
Most of the "seized" things appeal directly
TO the frivolous, self indulgent tendencies
of weak human nature-all sorts and con-
ditions of cigars and liquors from plebeian
weeds and spirits labeled "No Brand" and
appraised at trifling value to the finest
quality of these commodities.
watches, jewelry, etc." forms the
headline to the longest division of the cat
alogue, and all the gems of the heavenly
revelation are represented, set in rings,
pins, bracelets and hair ornaments. "Dry
goods, etc." includes not only yards upon
yards of dress materials, especially silk,
over the loss of which many n poor, de-
frauded woman must have torn her hair,
but sealskin coats, laces, wraps, gloves,
handkerchiefs and endless other feminine
appurtenanccs. Tho custom house officials
say the women who buy these stolen
sweets pay their full value and often more
than they could be purchased for elsewhere,
but there seems an Irresistible fascination
about struggled goods, even though legiti-
mately acquired, that appeals strongly to
women folk. New York Journal

SPLIT HAIRS.
What TO DO to Restore the Ends That Arc
Thus Damaged.

Volumes have been written about the
care of the roots Of the hair and the scalp,
while little has been said about tho other
ends. A Psyche knot, Grecian coil, a
Roman twist or any other couture ceases
to be thing of beauty II bristling with
dry or split hair ends.
With some women the ends Of the hair
split into two parts, but with Others IL di-
vides into so many that tho end of each
hair looks like q miniature paintbrush.
In some cases the hairs not only split at
the ends, but several inches farther up fine
slivers seem to be Clipped from the main
stem. When hairs are injured in this way,
they CEASE to grow longer.
To restore split hairs to more healthy
state 1t Is necessary to cut off every hair
above the place where 1t is split or chip
ped To cut each hair seems a herculean
task, but it can be simpifled in this man.
ner: Divide tho hair into two, three or
four parts, according to its thickness; then
braid each part as closely to the head and
as tightly as possible. Tie each braid an
inch or SO from the end with thread or
worsted or wind n small rubber band
around IL to keep the braid from loosen
ing.
Hold the end of the braid firmly with
one hand and with the other rub the braid
the wrong way--that is, toward the head
and most of the hairs which do not ex-
tend the whole length of the braid will
spring out like the quilts of a porcupine.
With scissors clip these outstanding
hairs, being careful not to cut the smooth
strands of the braid. Then clip the split
ends below where the braid Is fastened.
Unless the hair is very much split and
broken you can do the clipping yourself,
but if it Is uneven and split close to the
scalp 1t will be better to have some one else
clip It,
This clipping should be done once In
two weeks or oftener until all the split
ends have been cut. Then the hair will
feel as smooth and soft and fine as that
which grows close to the scalp.-New York

FATHER PRAISES SON.
Levi Letter Says His Boys Wheat Deal
Has Greatly Benefited Farmers.


"The wheat deal of my son has brought
to the farmers of the United States 10 or
10 cents bushel more for wheat than II
he had not gone into it," said l.. Y. Letter
In talking of the great battle between Jo-
seph Letter on the one side and the eleva-
tor companies, headed by p. ID. Armour,
on the other. "My son has been the bene
factor of the agricultural industries of the

debating the price Of his product, not the
purchasers; Chicago makes the market
price of wheat, not Liverpool, and the To-
cal influences, which have been so long for
constantly lower prices, have ceased to
control Chicago markets"
The first purchases Of wheat by Joseph
Letter were made In July last at "a cents.
The price for actual wheat, such as the
farmer sells, has been between 90 cents
and 81 for several days. This makes to-

NEW USE FOR KITES.
The New Jersey Expert Claims They
Measure the Winds Velocity.

William A. Eddy Of Bayonne, N. j t,
well known as an expert In constructing
and flying kites and in aerial photography,
has recently completed a series of expert
ments which he thinks prove that his kites
may be made Of the utmost value to me-
teorologists and navigators.
He believes that he has established the
fact that the pull of his kites on their
strings, as indicated by delicate spring
balance, accurately measures the velocity
of tho wind, and no thinks, too, that he
has demonstrated by this means that the
wind velocity over wide region is prac-
tically the same at q not very great height
above the ground where the effect OF the
Irregularities of the earth's surface upon
the atmospheric movements are annulled.

PROUD OF HIS LvxualAnr BEARD.
woman's Vanity Nothing to That of a Man
With Whiskers.

Tho vanity OF woman in her new hat
and furs, her frills and her furbelows, Is
self forgetting humility In comparison TO
the valuglori,ls self consciousness of the
man with "a beard. Alongside of him the
pride of the. peacock in his spreading,
iridescent tall Is shamofaoed modesty.
The man with n beard has discovered the
true secret Of happiness. His hirsuto APP
pendago is the outward and visible sign of
the bliss that reigns within the breast
which IL beauties and adorns. That
beard To him Is father and mother, wife
and children, and wherever he goes nc
carries the entire family and of every one
he meets facility asks, lis not this a hand
some group"
The man with beard Is seldom given
to long conversation. 1t Is his mission in
life to pose, not to talk. He essays not TO
shine by the magic of verbal brilliancy; no
merely presents his beard and in mute ex-
preston says: "Look at i'll Is 1t not
grandf" Ho Is generally the holder OF
some sinecure, Ia the man with the beard,
else he could not, as he now does, devote
his whole mind to his hairy idol. He Is
not given to athletics; he is no reader; he
has an easy vocation, and no avocation
whatsoever. He is exclusively beard
raiser and beard exhibitor, and he glories
In his profession Wherever no goes he Is
the observed Of all observers. Therefore
no must perforco lead blameless life.
The eyes Of the world are ever upon him
or upon his beard, and any deviation from
the path of rectitude would be known in
stantly of all men. He is of q peaceable
disposition, for quarrel, inoumbered as
he is with that beard, were out of the
question, and then he Is on such pleasant
terms with himself that it follows inevi-
tably that he cannot be on bad terms with
anybody.
| The man with beard Is proud, is vain.
This must be admitted. But his vanity Is
harmless, and though us "a member Of So
ciety he Is as useless as Is the beard he
| sports, still he is peace loving citizen,
void of positive vices or bad habits, and
| one who is never likely to figure In public
| disturbances or private violations OF the
| law. If it be the chief end of man to raise
| hair of prodigious length upon his chin
| and cheeks, then has the man with beard
nobly fulfilled the object Of his creation.
The man with a beard is to be enviod, not
| perhaps for his beard, but for his splendid
| serenity. On his side he envies nobody.
