MURDER OF BEAsLEY.
Wise Declares That He Did Not

NEW YORK, March 81 = Edward
Wise, who is awaiting sentence Of death

in this city last November, has, almost

suffer imprisonment for the sake OF a

the District Attorney. The police ap-
parently place some reliance in Wise $

To Preserve the Hair.

What has made the hair thin? And
what makes it fall out? In occasional
cases there Isl some slight scalp disease
due to the presence of some one of the
bacilli family whose mission on earth is
to annoy mankind. Such troubles must
be cared for by those physicians who
make specially of skin diseases. But
nine times out of nine and a half the
trouble comes from defective circulation
and thin blood. The doctor has to treat
tie general condition of the system, bur
the patient can herself give the local
II eatment to the hair.
IT is very simple, and lies within the
power of all, yet very many fail to
get good results because of lack of per-
sistence Friction and perseverance are
the two words that embody the secret
Of keeping the hair from falling.
To amplify and to follow the process
from it's first step, let me say that a
shampoo is the primary requisite. The
cleansing preparation for this purpose
is best made of green soap, an article
resembling soft soap and smelling like
melon seeds. 1t is found at the chem
lists only, and has hygenic value alb
sent in most soaps. Some chemists keep
it in a liquefied form slightly perfumed,
especially prepared for the scalp.
If it cannot be thus obtained make
shampoo of the following ingredients:
One ounce of green soap, 1 tablespoon
of powdered boraX, the white of an egg,
and a pint of very warm water. Dis
solve the borax in the egg. beating
slightly; put the soap into bottle, and
add the hot water, and shake we'll; then
add the egg and borax, and shake until
all is we'll blended This is the receipt
cf famous physician. and is the least
expensive shampoo that can be had.
A little perfume may be considered an
agreeable addition.
Once a month is as often as the hair
should be washed. / am aware that
doctors often prescribe more frequent
shampooing, but observation and ex-
perience both show me the mistake Of
much washing After the shampoo treat
the head to thorough rubbing with
some tonic, to aid the process.
Bad cases must have the rubbing
night and morning for time, but once
day will be sufficient ordinarily, and
some persons can get along with two or
I three times a week. These are the ones
who are benefited by the treatment at
various hard -dressers.
Four onto the scalp little of the
tonic. after having divided the hair with
a comb. and rub lightly with the balls

is moistened, put the bottle down, and

INCoMMUNICADo SYSTEM.
Gen. Brooke Contemplates Issuing
a Decree Abolishing It.

HAVANA, March 31.-The whole
question of imprisonment incommuni-
cado by the Cuban authorities has
been brought conspicuously to the at
tsntion of Governor General Brooke by
such experiences as that of the Ameri-
can doctor c. C. Jolliffe recently ar
rested for practicing without a license,
and kept incommunicado for two days.
This method of administering justice,
with others equally harsh, such as the
arrest of witnesses and the absence of
trial by jury, is still regularly resorted
to under the new regime, and the very
Cabans who used to complain bitterly
of the fncommunicado Imprisonment
under the Spanish domination, now ap-
ply it with all its rigors

SUGAR BOUNTY.
Robert p. Porter Points Out a 30
lution Of the Question.

LONDON, April 1.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the STANDARD" says: ROD
ert z. Porter, before leaving, told me
few results of his latest researches
German beet sugar, he finds, cannot be
manufactured under 2 cents pound.
The cost of production is, therefore, the
same as cane sugar in Cuba.
II the grocers of England and the
United States could be induced to pro-
mote the sale of cane sugar in prefer
ence to beet, the consumption and pro-
duction of the former would rise consid-
erably, and this would contribute more
to the solution of the bounty question
than prolonged negotiations.
Mr. Porter thinks also. that If the
British Government indorses the In
dian counteryaii that will be a further
reason for the United States to change
it's attitude about, the existence Of the
moss favored nation clause between the
United States and Germany, which is
very complicated.
These various reasons, together with
the increasing production of cane sugar
in Cuba, will force the sugar producing
countries to deal anew with the un-
bearable bounty question.
