of late in public affairs and whose

Mans Hair to Change Color.
Everyone has heard stories of men
and women becoming gray-haired in a
night as the result of grief or terror.
Many of these tales are doubtless the
mere imaginings of the writers of
sketches. but that such phenomena are
of occasional occurrence has been fully
demonstrated. Chicago physician
relates this instance in q medical jour

NATIONS GREETING TO DEWEY
Features of the Reception to the Manila
Hero at Washington.

The central idea underlying the
grand welcome to be given Admiral
Dewey in Washington the first week in
October is its national character. His
arrival at the capital will mark his real
homecoming to the American people,
where the officials of the government
will participate, and the magnifcently
jeweled sword voted by congress will
be presented. To that end all the ar
engagements will be of simple but
most dignified character. The welcome
to the hero Of Manila at the national
capital will probably occur on Monday,
October 2, although the date will de-
pend upon the length of the celebra-

Chicago mis- cousin, who was shot and
killed in Atlanta on April by Charles
M. Reid, resulted the other day in most
unexpected action by the grand jury,
who indicted Reid, his wife, Eugene,
her brother, Jere Garfield and Edwin
bennington. The killing was a most
unusual one. Halstead was in town
arranging for the holding of carni-
val and attended a circus in the after
noon. In some way he met Mrs. Reid,
and on her return to her home she
told her husband that Halstead had
insulted her. family council was
held and it was decided to kill Hal
stead. Reid loaded a shotgun and &C
companied by Garfield, bennington
and others, went back to the circus
grounds to look for Halstead. Their
victim was in the center of a crowd,
but Mrs. Reid pointed him out and
when he stepped a little to one side
her husband quickly raised his gun
and killed Halstead instantly. 1t is
now claimed that Halstead did not in
suit the woman and the shooting was
nothing more nor less than deliberate
murder, the motive of which is as yet
a mystery.
