woMAN's HAIR TURNS GREEN.
The Result of Trying to Change
Golden Locks to Russet.

NEW YORK, Dec. e5.-Lillie Verona, a
soubrette, few months ago decided that
her personal appearance would be i'm
proved if she could tint her golden hair a
russet hue. She accordingly purchased a
concoction known as powered henna
leaves and applied il in solution with the
desired effect.
Miss Verona a week ago yesterday de-
cided 10 apply ii again, and at the drug
store of John Kiehl, Third Avenue and
Thirteenth Street, purchased some pow
dered henna leaves. That evening she
applied the compound in solution to her
hair. The next morning on arising Mss
Verona looked in mirror and was shock
ed. as her hair had turned green.
Miss Verona shed bitter tears and spent
the greater share OF two days and three
nights in an effort to wash the green tint
out, but all efforts proved unavailing
Variogs-hairdressers experimental with
strands of the green hair and said they
were sorry for Miss Verona Expert
chemists told her the only thing she could
do was to have il dyed Jet black Then
Miss Verona became angry and went down
10 see her lawyer, NJ Strassman who yes
terday brought suit against Mr.. Kieh for
$1,000 damages. Mr. Kiehl told a reporter
yesterday that Miss Verona purchased The
powdered henna leaves without telling
him for what purpose.
She had beautiful golden hair" said
Mr.. Kiehl, but when she came in rext
day it was as green as parsley We hi We
had the preparation analysed and find It
10 be pure. In ordinary circumstances it
would imDart reddish hue to yellow
hair. in this case IL seems TO have turned
IL green. Had the young woman told me
what she intended doing with Il would
have advised her against using it, since
IL has powerful astringent properties and
its peculiar qualities are not really un-
derstood by the best of chemists

THE AUDITORIUM ENLARGED.
Substantial improvements on the VI.
L. Church. South, at Rockville.

ROCKVILLE. Nd. Dec 25.-The work
Of charging and remodeling the Rockville
NJ. E. Church South is about completed,
| and reflects great credit upon all con-
cerned. as well as being a distinct i'm
proyement Of the town. Substantially the
| same general plans that have been fol-
! lowed in this improvement were conceived
and advocated by the late Rev. A. c. Arm
1 strong, about three years ago, during his
| pastorate over this church. These altera-
tions include the enlarging of the audi
| torium by the removal OF the old vestibule
! and entrance, which space is now included
| in the auditorium. The old chancel rail-
| pulpit, and choir platforms have been re-
| placed by new and modern ones.
All of the old woodwork has been re-
| placed by new work. finished in the nat
ural wood. Neat wainscoting encircles the
entire church, the south wall having re-
| ceived an extra panel All of the old win
dows have been replaced by stained glass
windows of artistic design. A triple clus-
ter OF windows -supplanT the old entrance
on the north. The electric lights in the
rear Of the pulpit have been removed, and
an adjustable shaded electric light has been
substituted. The old 1aes have been torn
down, all walls Strengthened, and new,
safe, and large tue has been constructed
al the intersection Of the new and old
Parts. New oak pews of The most modern
type will replace the old ones
a tower and Sunday school and Epworth
League room have been added TO the east,
the tower affording commodious vesti-
buled entrance TO both the Sunday school
room and the main auditorium. The neat
rolling partition, twenty four feet in width
allows the conversion of the two rooms
into one. The entire ceiling and walls of
both rooms have been tastefully frescoed,
the general design in each being the same
The cathedral glass windows throughout
the entire building, while carrying out a
general design, comprise several combina-
tions of color.
The entire building is 10 be heated by

When these improvements were first
contemplated ii was supposed that $4,000
would cover the cost. but later more elab-
crate alterations were decided upon, SO
that the total expenditure is something
like $4,000. two-thirds Of which was sub
scribed before the work was begun, and
the remainder will soon be canvassed for

THE NEW RACING DATE.
The Maryland Jockey Club to Open
January 10.

A meeting of the New Maryland Jock
ey CLUB was h, Id at Chesapeake Beach
on Sunday last and 1t was decided TO post
pone the opening of the race track until
| January 10. The cause of the postpone
ment to this date. is TO enable the track
superintendent TO remedy a defect in
that part of the track facing the grand
stand, of about 400 feet in length. which
was found to be unsafe. and which will
practically have TO be rebuilt. This de-
( feet was not apparent until the recent
rains set in when it was too late 10 rem
edy it in time for the opening. All the rest
of the track is in first class shape, alb
solutely safe, and ready to race on. The
track is pronounced by horsemen TO be
the fastest they ever worked over. So
fast that far horses easily work a half
mile on the back stretch in fifty sec
onds. This will be q revelation to horse
men, for as a general rule new tracks are
usually seconds slow, but the assertion is
vouched for by reliable trainers.
Notwithstanding the statements made
that there will be a scarcity of horses at
Chesapeake, the facts that tina. suf-
f,iclent number of horses to inaug-
urate the meeting are already on
the grounds, with plenty more on
the way. and applications for
stall room from all over the country
Owners of large stables now racing at
New Orleans, have declared their inten
tion of coming to Chesapeake the mo-
ment racing commences. All they re-
Quire is the assurance that the Maryland
Jockey Club have actually commenced
racing, and this assurance will be given
them on January 10.
Ii is the aim and purpose of the club
to promote clean, honest racing, with
rules laid down and enforced that shall
be as strict and as binding as that of the
New York Jockey Club. or the Western
Turf Congress. Each one of its officials
Will be yigilant and watchful that those
rules are carried out to the letter.
All the club asks is the right to conduct
this enterprise in their own way. They
consider they have equal rights with other
associations to race on their own property
and that it is preposteTous to assume
that because they are not in the New
York Jockey Club or the Western Turf
Congress that they cannot conduct honest,
legitimate racing. There is no good rea-
son why horse-owners, engaged in the
business of racing, who cannot win on
the big tracks should be denied the
right of racing here. and to such horse
men they appeal, assuring them of fair
treatment if they come. feed store
will be established on the grounds. where
feed of the best quality and at market
prices will be furnished, so that horse
men will suffer no imposition by either
high prices or poor quality OF feed
Kitchens have been built and are now
partly occupied, so that trainers, jockeys,
and stable hands can have the same ac-
comodatons to which they are sccustom-
ed at other tracks
