unpaid claim while the Chicago lay in

Though the claims in question are
understood to amount to little more
than 100000. they have been a mat
ter of diplomatic correspondence for
the last five or six years. The Morocco
authorities have shown no undue
haste IN settling the matter, and the

dent would not consent to any scheme
for raising money by the Cuban assem-
bly, TO pay the Cuban troops. Later, the

Havana March 81. GOV. Gen, Brooke
has almost made up his mind to send
the $4,000 900 back 10 the United States
if the Cuban military assembly does not
give up the army rolls. You may as
well do so and not trihe much longer,
said Secretary Alger, when discussing
the matter two days ago in conference
with GEN Brooke and Gen. Gomez. The
latter said that such a course would
serve the assembly right. Anyway the
impression is spreading that the gov
ernor general may return the money TO
Washington. and it is stirring up fresh
feeling against the assembly.
A file of United States troops would
probably be sent to take the rolls if the
military administration knew exactly
where they were. but there is a feeling
that a mistake might be made and the
administration placed in the light of
oyer-anNiety and possibly be laughed at.

PECULIAR PLIGHT OF A SALEM
GIRL-ENTIRELY BALD.
What a Trial Package of a Remedy
Did for Her.

The portraits of Miss Emma Emond show
what a striking difference is made in a
person when the bald head is covered with
hair. Miss Emond was totally bald, the
hair follicles not only upon her head but
upon her eyebrows being completely con-
tracted, not the sign of hair being found.
OF course she was the object of many ex-
periments all Of which failed. and the Of
fer of a well-known dispensary to send
free trial OF their remedy was peculiarly
alluring to her. She sent for the free trial.
followed all directions faithfully and soon
she was rewarded by a growth OF hair,
which for thickness, quality and luxurianee
was as remarkable as the result was graft
flying. Miss Emond lives in Salem. Mass,
at 276 Washington ST., and naturally feels
very much elated to recover from total
badness. An itching scalp to people who
are blessed with hair is a sign of coming
badness, and should be attended to 1T
once.
The remedy that caused Miss Emonds
hair to grow also cures all scalp itching
and diseases, removes dandruff and keeps
the hair and scalp healthy and vigorous.

In this connection, it is well to- remem-
Der that this city was practically the turn

was held in this city followed few days
later by second meet of the same kind.
In this city the professional riders. the
cracks of the country. completed their
organization. and babe bold defiance to
the League and its agents. This was a
rather bold move for mere handful OF
riders to make, yet they were successful.
The track owners all over the country
sympathized with them. and have taken
steps for their own protection.
While Washington is credited with be-
ing the pioneer city in the movement the
credit of the entire project belongs to
one man, j. ID. Lasley, Of the Park BIZ
cycle Track. His energy and decision
saved the day for the crack riders. and
by this step practically brought about the
formation of the present organization. The
professional riders held their first meeting
al Trenton. \. j., and a day or SO later met
at Philadelphia. II was while in session
at the latter city, and when matters were
chaotic for the riders that Mr.. Lasley
came to the rescue. He had a circuit
meet on hand. and if the crack riders did
not appear it would in1ure the meet. The
cracks had been advertised, and If they
failed to materialize il would injure the
meet and make II financial failure. To
save the day Mr.. Lasley telegraphed to
Philadelphia that he would support the
riders and offered the local track for their
use for the first meet His offer was
eagerly accepted. Following this he took
a train to Philadelphia and personally en-
couraged the riders. The rest is a matter
OF history in cycling.
His work in this respect has not been
permitted to pass unnoticed. At the meet
ing on Wednesday afternoon he could have
been unanimously elected to the presidency
OF the National Cycling Association. but
he declined. lie was. however, persuaded
to accept the position of chat man of dis
trict C. which embraces Pennsylvania
Maryland, Delaware. District of Columbia
! Virginia. and West Virginia. At the meet
ing of the track association held on Fri
day at which he unable to be present,
he was unanimously elected president for
the ensuing year, his many friends APP
preciating the good work that he had done
for cycle racing.
