The first red hair case to give the Judicial
eye OF the Magistrates Court Tor the Fourth
district practice In the different tnts embodied
in that generic term. was decided by Justice
Roesch yesterday. The Judges hair is OF
chestnut brown but his stenographer. Caleb
H. Rediern, who has sat In front OF him for six
years has a Venetian tuft. 30 that the Judge
had a line on one species OF red when the liti-
giants appeared before him.
Peter Schlichting was the plaintiff His bald
head was so well-nlled out that a phrenoogist
would delight to have it as specimen. The
bumps we're all obvious to the sight except
about the sides and back. which were skirted
with hedge. far from sparse. OF some sort OF
red hair but rather different from what the
eve OF the court was accustomed to. Schlicht-
ling had heard some weeks before OF the vogue
that certain sorts OF red hairhave in some
Quarters, and that the redheaded are supposed
to be immune from certain diseases. notably
the fevers Of the Congo district. and In view OF
these and other things. he visited Henry Stroll
man. a wigmaker. and told him to get wig 10
match the hair he had. regardless OF price.
Schlichting advanced So to cinch the bargain,
and Strohman said he would do the best he
could to match the existent hedge. but success
was doubtful. as he had rarely seen exactly the
tint required
strohman made frame to set the hair to be
sought for upon and it was admitted that the
frame was perfect 1T to the Uranium Of
schlichting. but when Scheduling saw the
hair procured by Strohman he said he
wouldn't dare go out on the East Side logged
out in anything like that. Strohman tried
again. and when Sohlichtling called in the twt-
light he found the wig makers shop red-litten
with a melt OF IA stronger tint. SchchtIing in
sisted that the wig maker had no conception
OF what was wanted. and Strohman explained
that the color OF the skirmish line along the
head Of Schlichting was rather louder than
the owner would be likely to know. and that
the tone Of the wig presented was very nearly
In the right key.
That little hair fringe was more "touchy "
spot than the whole OF the rest Of the head. and
words and gestures flew thick and fast. The
wig was placed the wgless head and
Schichtling said that fly in passing from his
| hair to the wig would think he had gone from
| a reddish brown autumnal tree to the burning
| furnace OF Orcus. The remark touched the
| art OF the wigmaker and he spoke of painting
| the bald pate brick red. Schlictling became
so vehement that the wig was shaken of as he
| left the shop. swearing he would have the law
