Red Hair Wears Best.

Why are red-headed people less subject
of badness than those with fair or brown
hair? An English physician has answered
this conundrum: The hair of the red
headed is relatively thick, one red hair
being as thick as five blonde or three
brown hairs. With 10000 red hairs tho
scalp Is well matched; with the same
number of blonde hairs one Is almost
bald. 1t takes 10000 blonde and los. $50
brown hairs to cover adequately an or
binary head.

CAN'T STAND CIDER
Justice Nevin's Old Friend
Talked So Well That He
Escaped Punishment.

Teddy Reardon, of No. l64 Pavonla
avenue, who. in his younger days was a
personal friend of Police Justice Nevin,
was arraigned before that official this
morning on a charge of being drunk and
disorderly. Reardon was arrested by
Roundsman Toppin, of the First precinct
police, at the corner of York and Van
Worst streets. Reardon felt his position
very keenly and being a fluent talker he
succeeded in getting out of the charge.
When he was arraigned before Justice
Nevin the Court said
.'wen, Teddy, what's the matter now?''
"Oh. I got drunk and Toppin arrested
me. I was compelled to sleep in a cell all
night From the soreness I feel in my
bones I don't think the servant girl en-
ployed there shook up the feathers in the
bed
The remark caused much laughter and
the Court was compelled to rap his gavel
for order.
Continuing with his story Teddy said:-
81 have not been drunk for nearly two
months and yesterday morning I went
down to Newark avenue saloon and
drank some cider. I continued to drink
cider for several hours. I then drank
some beer and whiskey. I then took a

Justice Nevin asked Teddy If he had a

Yes answered Teddy; but I can't

Pumped it Out.

When the North German Lloyd liner
Barbarassa put into Hoboken after her
short and eventful voyage yester day
Fire Chief Applegate lost no time in
bringing two engines and a truck to put
out the blaze in her hold. The fire had
gained considerable headway and the de-
partment was kept busy for over four
hours getting it in control.
Chief Applegate and Captain Muller,
superintendent of the North German
Lloyd line, had a lively tilt on the pier.
The Chief discovered after he had been
pouring water into the blazing compart-
ment for over an hour that the officers
of the Barbarossa had her bilge pumps
working pumping the water out. The
officials of the vessel only consented to
stop the pumps when Chief Applegate
threatened to withdraw the department
The piers were crowded all afternoon
and evening. The throng forced Its way
on the pier despite the efforts of Captain
Hayes and a platoon of police.
1t is impossible to estimate the DAM

OUR CUBAN BRIdAlR.
Disarmament of Our New
"Subjects" May Not Be
az Easy Job.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1S99.-"It Is the
sheerest nonsense" said Secretary Algee
today, in commenting upon the published
story that the President or himself had
countermanded any order made by Gen-
eral Brooke relative to the disarmament
of the Cuban troops.
The state of the case in brief IS as
folIows:-The President canvassed very
thoroughly with Secretary Alger and Gems
eral Brooke the best method of securing
the disbandment of the Cuban troops and
their re-entry into Industrial life IL
was decided that necessary step toward
this end was the surrender of the arms
held by the Cuban soldiers. 1t was ap-
pretended, that, retaining their arms,
some, if not a large. portion. inclined py
their past predatory existence, Woui3
lapse into brigandage.
So the President himself ordered Cen
eral Brooke to cause the arms of the Cu-
ban soldiers to be delivered up to repre-
sentatiyes of the United States army.
With these instructions General Brooks
has been patiently striving to carry ouE
the Presidents plans. He has arrived az
that point where the Cuban leaders, as
mater of sentiment, they say, make II q
condition of disarmament that the arms
shall be placed in the custody OF tno
Mayors of the Cuban towns. Realizing 10

trary to the Presidents instructions, Gem

c. 0. P. HARMONY :?
Factions Regard the Uni
ty" Plan Of County Com
mittee as a Farce.

The Republican County Committee will
meet tomorrow when the much talked of
plans for the party unity will be dis
cussed when the Organization Committee
makes it's report.
It is the intention, 1t is said, OF the
committee to bring about a conference
between the representatives OF the rival
factions in the wards and precincts, ana
1t will probably recommend precinct
primaries, as joint primaries for seVeral
precincts have been resorted to by GER
tain ambitious ward and precinct leaders
to defeat those who had followings SUI
ficient to defeat in their own precinct any
opponent to the clique that insisted on
controlling the County Committee.
John P Landrine. the prominent leader
on the HILL laughed when News re-
preventative spoke to him about the reor-
ganization plans. Mr.. John is a very
shrewd politician and didn't commit him
self in the way of talking. He shrugged
his shoulders and merely said, we II
see." Evidently John takes little stock IN
any kind of unity with E. w. Woolley and
the gang.
sort of the lion lying down with the
lamb and the lamb inside" he Jocuiariy
observed and then wouldn't say word.
That other distinguished politician, MT.
Louis Steubenvoll, on the contrary, Is
bubbling over with enthusiasm about
unity. He dreams of perfect peace in the
Ninth ward when his friends. the enemy,
Landrine and his many followers. will
sit at his feet and drink in deep draughts
of ward political truths. Louis will even
go as far as forgiving them and extending
gracious clemency towards Mouncey and
other alleged traitors.
Down in Greenville, where is per-
petual Donnybrook with the Minks,
Leaguers, Grants and Seventh Warders,
the unity plan is laughed to scorn.
Eminent political reformers like Henry
Petty and Edmund Birch, who have
hitherto opposed anyone who was in for
politics what they were worth, think it
will be a good thing, because, like Mr.
Micawber, they think something may turn
up to their advantage. But the men OF
the Minks men like Michael Schultz, Jr.,
Charles Merker, ex-Alderman E. Frey and
others, view askance any political salad
with Messrs. Petty and Birch & Co. as
ingredients.
Away up in tie northern part of the
city the followers of Tom, Honest" Tom
McEwan," as his brothers are carefully
instructed to shout on convenient occa-
sions, will have nothing to do with unity.
Then, too, John E. Macarthur, that astute
copy of Machiavel thinks that unity
should prevail If only for the agreeable
purpose of sitting down on his opponents.
But Johnnie is a cautious body and is
not saying over muckle.
So on it goes throughout the Repub-
can party or rather the Republican par
ties. Some want unity. they are Of course
those who have gobbled up everything. in
sight and, like Oliver Twist, are crying
who see in unity another method of get
ting them to work for the good of their
foes

Of guilty. of the second degree and the
plea was accepted.
Amodeo was sentenced to twelve years

and who pleaded guilty Of murder of the
second degree, was sentenced in the Oyer
and Terminer Court this morning to
serve twenty years in State Prison.
Lawyer Edmund Wilson. of Red Bank,
made an eloquent plea to the Court to
make the sentence less than the maxi
mum penalty, which, under law of 1888
is thirty years. He read some Of the
testimony taken at the Coroners inquest,
showing that Connolly had struck Will
