Men become bald. Why9 Be-
cause they wear close hats and
caps. Women are never bn,d ex-
cept by disease, and they do not
wear close headgear. Men never
lose hair below where the hat
touches the head, not if they
have besn bald 20 years. The
close cap holds the heat and pers-
pirAtion; thereby the hair glands
become weak, and the hair falls

Ter arrived home the latter part
of last week looking we'll and in
good spirits in spite Of tho ordeal
of passing the worst months for
the yellow fever IN Cuba.
He says he heard of the battle
of Santiago and it's horrors and
had the personal experience Of
battles in the late war, but his ex-
perience with the stealthy yellow
fever tested his courage moro
than any other battle.
He speaks very highly of the
conduct of the Spanish soldiers,
who, it seems, are worse than
slaves. What was known as the
iingo speeches in the last congress
only family pictured the starva.
ton and suffering of tho poer
reconcentrados. He hopes the
stars and stripes will float over

President McKinIey's second an
nual message was submitted to
congress In convention today. 1t
contains 10000 words. Follow
ing is brief synopsis, including
some direct excerpts of the more
important features of the mes
sage:
Notwithstanding the added
burdens rendered necessary by
the war our people rejoice in
very satisfactory and steadily in
creasing degree of Prosperity.
The year has given us the largest
volume of business ever recorded
in the history of the country.
Manufactures have been product
i've, agricultural products have
yielded abundant returns; labor
in all fields of industry is better
rewardad."
In reviewing the causes which
led to the war with Spain tho
president takes up the thread of
the narrative where it ended in
his last annual message. cit vas
due to our friendly relations
with Spain that she should bs
given reasonable chance TO rea-
lie her expectation of reform 10
which she had become irrevoca bly,
committed. 1t became evident,
however, that the proposed plans
were barren of good results. No
tangible relief was afforded the
reconcentradoes, among whom
the rate of mortality frightfully
increased, the protfered expedient
of zones of cultivation proved
illusory and it was apparent that
nothing save the physical ex
hanstion of Spain or the Cubans
and the practical ruin of the ls-
land of Cuba could result from
the struggle then in progress. At
this critical juncture the destruc-
tion of the bsttleship Maine oc.
Cured - Concluding this sub
ject, the president says: 1t is u
striking evidence OF the pure and
sturdy good sense distinguishing
our national character that this
shocking blow, falling upon n
generous people already deeply
touched by preceding events in
Cuba, dld not move then to an
Instant desperate resolve to toler-
ate no longer the existence OF con-
dltiOns Of danger and disorder 1T
our doors that made possible such
deed by whom ,oever wrought.
Still animated, however, by the
hope OF = peaceful solution Of the
difficulty and obey;ng the dictates
of duty, the president relaxed no
effort to bring about speedy
ending of the Cuban struggle.
The negotiation with the Madrid
governmentproved futile SO fsl ss
practical results we're concerned,
and then it was that the president
presented the question to con-
gress. The result of this state

Of the memorable Joint resolution

of the United States to intervene

president says. "Tbis was 6 most
encouraging and significant result,
showing the vast resources of the
nation and the determination of
the people to uphold their coun.

Taking up chronologically the
events of the war, the presi-
dent reviews them carefully. The
III st encounter was the shelling of
Mstanzas on April the 9th.

This was followed by the en-
gagement which was "destined to
mark a memorable epoch in

victory" says the president, cup

upon the fortunes of tho war, was
