WHAT MODERN SAILORS FEAR
Not Winds and SeEs, but nn ExPlo-
 sion Which Scuttles the Ship.

sion Which Scuttles the Ship.
 "Boiler explosions are the terror Of the seafaring man." said an old time deep water captain. Such thing IS bad enough on dry land, put imagine catastrophe of that kind at sea. ln ninety-nine cases out of hundred 1t means the absolute wiping out of the craft itself and every soul on board.
 The average landsman would be greatly shocked in looking over the maritime records to see now many veg sells disappear each year and leave absolutely no clew to their fate. They run we'll up to the hundred mark, and such a mystery is not to be explained away by storms. A Chinese typhoon may swoop down like lightning out Of a clear sky and tear ship to pieces but some floating wreckage Is sure to tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on the contrary, will blow hole as big as railroad tunnel right through the cen.er of the hull, and the stricken vessel simply goes down like a shot. There Is no time to unfasten q boat from the QdVlIS or cut lOOSe d spar.
 "In the opinion of seamen, that Is the story of at least 90 per cent of the ships that leave port and are never heard of again. Luckily the modern system of marine boiler inspection is extremely strict and thorough. but it is impossible to absolutely prevent carelessness and fraud, and often enough. no doubt. the fault lies with the engineer.
 "There is an old story of a drunken Scotchman who mistook the tier mometer for the steam gage and 'cuss' ed out the stokers because he couldn't get the pressure above 80. That yarn will hardly hold water, but I've seen cases almost as bad. l am g'ad to say however. that during the past 10 years there has been steady diminution oi the number of vessels which 'mys teriously disappear That Is due, be

 Nothing is more annoying to men or women of middle age when they notice that their hair is growing thin ner, when they must admit that the first indications of baldheadedness have commenced to appear. Many would give a thousand dollars and more for a remedy with which to pre- serve their natural headdress. How ever, they don't need to, Newbro's Herpicide removes the effect of dan druff by destroying the cause, the only dandruff cure that actually destroys the dandruff germ.

on last Saturday afternoon at about Fix
O'Clock. 1t was long and hard fought
trial. 1t was commenced on Tuesday af-

The case was argued before the jury by

and A. P. Gillespie for the defendant. All

than an hour after the case was submitted.
1t was generally expected that there would
be prompt acquittal Of the accused, but
the Jury returned verdict finding him
guilty of simple assault and ining him
thirty dollars. This, we suppose, vas
compromise verdict, as we are informed
nine of the jury were for acquttal.

MOVEMENT OF
NATIONAL SCOPE.
Character Of the Effort to Have Date Of
Inauguration Changed.
GENERAL SENTIMENT RAYORS 1T.
April 30, Anniversary Of WaShingtOn's
First Induction Into office, May
Be Decided Upon.

Washington, July 29.-The matter of
appointing a committee, national in scope,
to consider the question of a change In the
date of the Inauguration of the President
of the United States, and to take proper
steps to secure such change if it be
deemed advisable, has been formally
placed in the hands of district commission
ers who are expected to act soon.
There manifestly prevails general SEN
timent here and throughout the country
that change of date for the inauguration
of the President is desirable, not only on
account of the inclemency of the weather
in March, but for other public economic
reasons.
Commissioner Mcfarland, who was a
member of the last inaugural committee,
will present the matter to his associates OF
the district board, and suggest that the
commit ee be composed of governors Of
the States and Territories of the Union
and of fifteen prominent citizens appoint
ed at large, and to include a proper rep
resentative of the District of Columbia. 1t
will be seen that the committee will be
national in scope. although the residents
of the District of Columbia are taking the
initiative in the matter. The matter will
have to be brought before Congress and it
is proposed to give the recommendations
of the committee conclusive strength.
In the discussion of a change in the
time of the Inauguration of the President
the date which has generally been suggest
ed is April 80, which is the anniversary Of
the first Inauguration of George Washing
ton in New York. 1t is claimed that the
weather in Washington at that time Of
year is generally more propitious for such
an event, inclu ling as it does an outdoor
address by the chief executive and the re-
view by him Of lengthy pageant made up
of the martial forces and prominent civil
organizations Of the entire country. 1t is
further urged that April 80 would prolong
the short session of Congress to an agree
able date and would result in the transac-
ton of much valuable public business,
which, because of the early adjournment
now in vogue is often delayed for ten or
twelve months or more.
1t is not known as yet whether or not a
meeting of the national committee to be
appointed by the commissioners will be
called. 1t ls generally supposed that much
of the work of the organization will be
done through correspondence. A meeting
may be called, however, when the matter
is we'll in hand, so that the decision may
be forcibly ratified.
