Red Hair the Best Wear.

why are red-headed people less sub

or brown hair? An English physician
has answered this conundrum:
The hair of the red-headed is rela-
lively thick, one red hair being as thick
as five blonde or three brown hairs.
With 10000 red hairs the scalp Is well
matched; with the same number Of
blonde hairs one is almost bald. II

TRAGEDY AT NEW YORK.
George j. Schan Shot and Killed by
His Son.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-George J.
Schan, 80 years old, an employee in the
Supreme Court, was shot and killed IN
his home to-day by his son, George w.
Schan, dentist.
The wife of the murdered man, and the
mother of Young Schan, died year
and a half ago, leaving, it is said, con-
siderable property to be divided be-
tween her husband and two sons. One
son is now in Manila, a member of the
Fourth United States Infantry. The
father remarked, and refused, it is said
to probate the will of his dead wife.
Both sons left home at the time of
the second marriage. They continually
demanded that the property left by
their mother be divided, and in lieu of
that called upon the father for money
which was refused. The son George,
it is said, declared that he would never
allow his stepmother to get any of his
property. He went to the house of his
father early this morning, and found
him in bed. His stepmother was in an
adjoining room. The son repeatedly de-
manded money. The father became en-
ragged, and raised himself from the bed
in menacing manner, when the young
man drew revolver and fired two
shots. The muzzle of the revolver was
so near Schan's head that the powder
burned his face. The elder Schan fell
back on the bed and expired Immediate
ly. The son placed the revolver on the
dresser and calmly awaited his arrest.

Ward, and for whom warrant has
been issued, surrendered himself to-day.
He entered $1,000 bail to appear for a
hearing next Thursday.
The warrant charges Salter with con-
spring with others to procure and cast
fraudulent ballots and make false re-
turns at the recent election. Salter's ar
rest is the result of the hearing last
week of five alleged repeaters who are
said to have been brought to this city
from Washington by Lieutenant Lodgers
of the Capitol police, and who are under
bail for trial. At this hearing George
kirkland, one of the defendants, who
acted as minority inspector on cleo
ton day, testified that under Salter's
direction he assisted in depositing 200
ballots in the box before the polls open
ed. He also testified that only pa le-
gal votes were cast in the division
while the returns showed $50, of which
332 were given to Barnett, Republican
for State Treasurer, and only five for
his Democratic opponent.
Bail was also entered to-day in the
sum of 81 600 for Joseph Lodgers, Lieu
tenant of the Capitol police, and Clar-
ence Meeser another of the alleged re-
peaters. Neither of the two men could
be found, and the bail was furnished by
John F. Slater, a member of the State
Legislature.

Has Issued a Challenge for Fight
With the Champion.

NEW YORK, Nov 13.-James J. Cor
bett has challenged James j. Jeffries to
fight for the heavyweight championship
Of the world. Corbett deposited $4,000
to be covered by Jeffries in any way he
sees fit. 1t may be taken as a wager or
a forfeit.
Corbett, in his letter, states that he
desires an immediate match, giving as
a reason that he desires to begin prep
arations at an early date. Provided
his money is covered Corbett will meet
Jeffres on November 18th and sign ar
ticles.
In conclusion, the foymer champion
alludes to his meeting with Sharkey, in
which he claims to have stood eff the
sailor in nine rounds.
When seen tonight Corbett said: II
never was more serious in my life than
am about this. Many people think
that l don't want to fight again, but
this deposit of $1,000 will settle all
doubts. I would put up 100000 but
for one reason. 1t is this: When the
fight comes off Jeffries will be the fav-
orite in the betting. If I put up 81, 900
now, it will go at even money, whereas.

NEW YORK. Nov 13.-Admiral
Dewey and his wife breakfasted to-day
at $50 o'clock in their apartments at
the Waldorf-Astoria, and two hours
later left the hotel for walk. In COM
pliance with the request made by the

PREsERvATSvEs FOR BEER.
The Case of Brewers Presented Be-
fore the Senate Committee.

NEW YORK. Nov 13.-The United
States Senate Committee on Manu-
features continued to-day its examina-
ton into adulterated ales, porter and
beer. On Thursday the commission will
receive reports from several Professors
of Yale and Harvard, who have been
invited to submit their ideas as to the
establishment of a standard of purity.
The first witness called was Max
Schwarz, a chemist, consulting brewer
and director of the United States Brew
ers' Academy. Senator Mason, Chair
man, asked about the use of preserva-
tives by brewers in the United States,
and the witness said he knew of none.
except salicylic acid which is manu-
featured from coal tar and compounds
of sulphurous acids The use of such
preservatives, Mr.. Schwarz said, was d
necessity to stay the natural decay in
the component parts of beer. The pre-
servatives are only used for beer to be
shipped and not for beer manufactures
for home consumption
Replying to Senator Mason, Mr..
Schwarz said the proportion of salicFl,c
acid, when used as a preventative =
one-half ounce for every barrel of beer
or about one part of acid to 10000 par
of beer Mr.. Schwarz declared the pro-
portion of preservatives in English and
other imported ales and beers is much
greater than in the locally brewe1
beers. The pasteurization of beer in
bottles, the witness said, is not a @t-.-
tain preservative.
Albert w. William, a brewer, agre
thoroughly with all Mr.. Schwarz haC
said except as to the quantity of pre-
sentative necessary. He thought Mr..
Schwarz's estimate of half an ounce OF
salicylic acid to the barrel of beer too
large. The only preservative the wit
ness uses is bisulphate of lime. No
substitute is used for hops, but cereals
are substituted for malt, because the
popular demand is for a lighter and
more sparkling beer than can be made
from pure malt.
Frederick Kreuster, another brew
master, gave testimony similar to that
of Mr.. William. To make a light beer
he said, about 20 per cent. of rice is
added to the malt and hops. He used
no glucose or coloring matter.
The committee adjourned until to-
morrow.

This is the originally selected route
which was rejected in favor of the De
