Dry" Sundays In New Orleans.

New Orleans is undergoing con-
vulsion OF reform, SO severe that the
sale of cigars is not allowed on Sun
day." said northern man just back
from the Crescent City the other day
THE drug stores are allowed to keep
open, but while they can dispense
medicines and other articles usually
kept at such places, they can sell
neither cigars nor liquors. This strikes
northerner as all the more eccentric
because We all gather the impression
that New Orleans is a very cosmopoli-
tan city, and so it is in nearly all 9TH
er particulars"

WHAT CAUSES DANDRuFF.
Greatest European Authority on Skin
Diseases Says It's a Germ.

The old idea was that dandruff is
scales of skin thrown off. through a
feverish condition Of the scalp. Prof.
Unna, Hamburg. Germany, European
authority On skin diseases, says dan
druff is germ disease. The germ bur-
rows under the scalp. throwing up lit
tie scales of cuticle and sapping the
vitality Of the hair at the root. The
only hair preparation that kills dan
druf germs Is Newbro's Herpicide.
Destroy the cause, you remove the eff
feet" Not only cures dandruff, but
stops falling hair and causes a luxuri-
ant growth. Delightful hair dressing.

MILLIONAIRE PRIEST DIES.

New York Letter in the Chicago Inter-
 Ocean.
 Priests rarely are regarded as million aires, but one died in this city on Tues day who is reputed by his intimates to have left property worth $l,oO0,o00 He was the Rev. Martin Bowling He had been the pastor of the Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of Mercy in Port Chester since 1855 up to about fourteen years ago, when he became pastor eme- ritus. He was said to be the richest priest in the arch diocese of New York. His home, since he retired, was in fine old mansion in the Boston Post road. The house was built by Felix Astoin, a retired wine merchant, and there are five acres of land around it. It is said that Father Bowling paid s10.OOO for the prop erty.
 He was great lover of horses. and Is said to have been as fine judge of horse- flesh any man in the country. He took great interest in breeding horses, and at one time had as many as twenty horses on his farm. His great wealth Is said to consist of stocks and bonds. His chief holdings are said to be in New York, New Haven and Hartford stock. bought when the railroad was being built.

WITH THE EDITORS OF
 THE STATE PRESS
Strong and Safe Body,

From the Florence Herald.
 The constitutional convention will be an unusually strong, safe and conservative body. Not only some, but many, of the best men in the State will answer to the roll call. There are names of men well known and honored all over Alabama, and are worthy to take part in any de- liberate body in the government. Taking them as a body the men who will compose the convention are exceptionally we'll qualified.
 And we are positive that the people need have no fear of the instrument which will be formulated when the con- ventiop gets to work. The new constitu- tion will be sound and conservative. The body of men who will make it are not going to remove any of the old land marks as to taxation. No new burdens will be placed on the backs of the people of Alabama. The rights and privileges of white suffragists will not be disturbed or taken from them. The convention will follow the regulations laid down in the act calling it, and no white citizen of Ala bama will have cause to oppose their work.
 It will be a good convention, of good men, and they will give us a good consti- tuition.

PAY DAY AT THE FORT.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The folly of Congress in enacting the anti-canteen law Is illustrated every time there Is pay day at the military reser- vation. Last month the soldiers at Fort Sheridan invaded Highwood in such num- bers and consumed so much bad liquor that riot call was turned in and a posse of special officers was called out to patrol the town. Last Saturday was the second pay day since the canteen was abolished, and yesterday it was reported that number of Uncle Sam's warriors were locked up in the jail at Waukegan as drunk and disorderly," while others had entirely disappeared and were in danger of arrest as deserters. Nothing has hap pened as result of closing of the can teens but what the men best fitted to judge predicted would happen. Congress, which would hesitate long time before 1t would close the restaurants of the House and Senate, has practically driven the soldiers off the reservations in search Of amusement and recreation. They wan der now at their own free will. without let or hindrance, without restraining in- fuences of any kind. As the members of Congress who voted to abolish the can- teen read the monthly reports which come In from the points where soldires are stationed they can see how greatly they injured the army when they weakly yield ed to the demands of the W. c.

METHopIsM AND MARRIAGE.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 A Connecticut minister, speaking before Methodist conference in session at Brooklyn, was applauded when he said the rule against dancing and card play ing was to blame for a falling off in church membership He said that moth CTS was keeping their daughters out of the Methodist church because they feared the girls could not make good matrimon- ial alliances unless they attended dancing parties or card parties. since all the eli- gible young men were found at such gath erings. The portion of the Methodist dis cipline relating to cards and dancing must be taken more seriously in the East noticed no falling off in Methodist mem- bership from this cause. Marriageable young women have had no cause to fear that their membership in the church would interfere with their chances of find ing husbands. Most of them do not feel that their belonging to the church debars them from playing whist or euchre or from dancing. So far as can be observed they attend card or dancing parties quite as freely as they do church sociabes and prayer meetings, and if they do not find eligible young men at the one place they may at the other. The action of the last general conference in leaving the old rule In force has had no effect on the social customs of the Methodist young people in this part of the country. They ignored the prohibition before, and they do so still. Perhaps if an attempt were made to enforce it the result might be similar to that which is said to prevail in the East

West Point and the Army.

The tobasca sauce incident is lead ing to a very searching inquiry as to the value of West Point as a school | for making good soldiers. All know that schools of journalism do not make journalists" and there seems to be a 4lKe opinion as to West Point. But this opinion is perhaps too harsh. The leaders in the civil war were as a rule West Pointers, and in the sitting of that terrible struggle few indeed the hall mark of the institution on the Hudson.
 But of late the tide is running the other way. The four ran6.ng officers of the regular army today were not West Pointers. Of the thirty-three generals of the regular army only six are graduates of the academy; of the twenty-two generals of the line only three were graduated there Miles, Brooke, Otis, Young, Chaffee, Mac Arthur, Wheaton, Corbin, Wade, Mer- riam, John c. Bates, Davis, Sumner. Wood. Hughes. Randall, Kobbe, Smith and Funston, all generals, never saw west Point save as any traveller sees it. General Wood was selected to re. organize Cuba, General Chaffee to lead troops to Pekin, and General MacAr- thur or Otis to fight down the insur- gents in the Philippines. And when a nan was wanted to capture Aguinaldo Funston stepped from the volunteer ranks.
 Congress and the President select the generals, and it must be admitted that they are finding the best men out side of the West Point clique at Wash ington. The army ring is strong in Washington, but weak in the field; and yet this may be an accident of the times, and West Point, less it's tobasco sauce, may be valuable training school, one that the country cannot afford to do without. Special individ- lua fitness has beennvery prominent
