The portraits of Miss Ihnma Emond

bald. the hair follicles not only upon her
head but upon her eyebrows being COM
pletely contracted. not the sign Of u hair
being found. OF course she was the OBJ
ject of many experiments, all of which
failed, and the offer OF n wel-known
Dispensary to send n free trial of their
remedy was peculiarly alluring to her
She sent for the free trial. followed all
directions faithfully. and soon she was
rewarded by growth of hair. which,

Mass, at 276 Washington ST., and natu-

PARDON DESIRED = KENTUCKY
FOR BRYAN-STERN MEASURES.
Newport News. Va, Sept. 29.-The
friends OF George Evans, sent to the
penitentiary from Newport News for
ropolng the mails, are circulating a pc
tition In his behalf, hoping to secure a
pardon for him. Evans is broken in
health and mind, and has already been
more than punished for his crime. His
case aroused great deal of sympathy
at the time, and it is probable that
the President may be induced to grant
the pardon.
KENTUCKY FOR BRYAN.
Col. w. M. Moore, ex-Speaker of the
In the city, accompanied by DR.. w. II.
Martin. The Colonel was warm per-
sonal friend of the lamented Goebel
and is one OF the 100000 reward trus-
tees. He expressed the utmost conf
dence that the Blue Grass State would
roll up a great majority for Bryan and
Beckham, and speaking of the recent
trials In the Goebel case, declared that
he did not think 1t probable that there
would be new trials. The plot that re-
suited in the death of Goebel Colonel
Moore declares, was known to Taylor
and was one of a number of plots con-
cocted to the same end some OF which
were attempted and miscarried.
DOCTORS SURPRISED.
Much to the surprise of everyone IA
miliar with the circumstances, Henry
Witt, the 17-year-old boy who fell from
the deck of one of the Pacific Mail
liners under construction at the ship
yard Thursday, fracturing his skull, is
still alive. and what is still more won
derful the attending physicians think
they detect n very sli"ht Improvement
In the boys condition.
That Witt possesses a marvellous
constitution is conceded by everyone.
With two gaping holes in his head after
q fall of forty feet on the hard steel
of a ships bottom, his recovery would
be almost unprecedented. yet the physi-
clans hold out hopes that the lad may
be so fortunate.

Some of the members of the Newport
News Light Infantry and the Hunting
ton Rifles will be treated to some of
their real war time experiences next

Subpoenas have been issued for about
