GOOD GROOMING.
Well kept Hair In Soft, Loose and
silky Tresses.

Beautiful hair goes far toward max
ing beautiful face The disfigure-
ment Of scanty. wiry hair is something
only tie best coiffure can hide. AS to
this important element in physical
beauty The New Idea Magazine says:
Hair varies under different condi-
tiOns, both physical and mental. Ger

also be diseased. All of these cOndi-
tions require special treatment. In
general, cleanliness and a reasonable
amount of care will keep the hair
healthy.
Oily hair can be remedied by being
washed once In two weeks, while hair
with normal amount of oil should not
be washed more than once a month un-
less one is engaged in dusty work or
is travelling constantly. Cinders and
dust irritate the scalp, and any slight
Inflammation is likely to cause the hair
to fall.
Some hair Is so very dry that wash

be given an application of vaseline or
an oil dressing of some kind the day
before 1t is washed. 1t will then be
soft and silky. The vaseline should be
rubbed on the scalp, getting as little on
the hair as possible.
In washing the hair use water quite
warm, with good. pure soap to make
lather. Tar or CASTLE soap Is the
hest. If the hair is oily, a very little
ammonia or soda can be used. Wash
carefully. rubbing the scalp well, then

DEATH TO MOSQUITOES.
DR.. DOty Has Begun the Destruction of
These Disease Spreaders.


New York. Aug. 7-Dr. Doty, health
officer of the port has at last oommenc-
ed the war of destruction of the mos.
quitoes of Greater New York and vi
cinity. He and his assistants have
taken their paraphernalia, which con.
sists largely of kerosene oil, to the pond
near Concord. Staten Island, and forced
barrels of the oil under the surface of
the water 1t was expected that while
the fluid is making its way to the sur
face it will destroy all the embryonic
MOSQUITO life therein. DIR. Doty said he
could not be positive about the success
of the experiment for a month, but he
thought it would work we'll.
DIR. Eugene Monaghan, sanitary super
intendent of the Bronx. says he believes
the malaria at Fordham was caused by
mosquitoes. The experiments by DR..
Doty are being watched and if they are
successful the scattering Of oil on the
swamps and low places in Fordham will
be begun. DR.. Monaghan raid that the
malaria. bearing mosquitoes did a great
deal of damage. but he did not believe
that they caused so much sickness in
this climate as they do in the tropics.

the victor, The Tribune's London oorre-
spondent says:
There has been more realism in these
maneuvers than the admiralty authori.

torpedo boat destroyers been lost but
several others have been crippled.
The wreck of the Viper is the most
serious accident of the maneuvers. This
vessel was an experiment and her per-
formances were being witnessed by the
admiralty experts.
The destroyer Violet is said to be in q
bad way. Nearly all the water tube
boilers have been disabled through split
tubes and it was only by great presence
of mind and prompt action that the
stokers were saved from being scalded
to death.

MARYLAND CAMPAIGN.
Republicans Follow Democrats In Max.
ing Their State Platform.


Baltimore, Aug. Z. - Issues in the
campaign which will determine wheth.
er or not Arthur P German will again
occupy a seat in the United States and
become a factor in national politics were
fully made mp yesterday by the action
of the Republicans at their state con-
vention. They met here as did tie
Democrats a week ago. and like the
Democrats, paid more attention to the
adoption of a platform than to the
selection of candidates for the minor
offices of comptroller and clerk of the
court of appeals. There were but two
aspirants. The platform is the work
of United States Senator McComas and
P. L. Goldsborough, chairman of the
state central committee, who is regard
ed as a promising candidate for the seat
of Senator Wellington in the event of
Republican success. Unlike the Demo-
cratic declaration of principals adopted
last week much stress Is laid upon
national issues. The administration of
President Mckinley is heartily endorsed,
the policy of the Republican party upon
the tariff, currency and other vital
questions of national moment strongly
commended, while that of the Demo.
Gratis is quite as vigorously denounced.
especially in regard to the new election
law.
The following is the ticket nominated:

ing ON the question whether the promise

prompt attainment than 1000 ton barge
canal. The cause of the wavering was
the publication of the detailed report

CHARTER DEFEATED
Its Friends Say it Will be Resubmit.
 ted Next Year.

Phoenix will not operate under a new city charter immediately. The one of fered by the last legislature was de- feated yesterday by a vote of 522 to 147. No other result was expected. and even the overwhelming majority was not surprising. Several causes were contributory to the defeat of the charter, and even it's most ar dent friends were apathetic and regretted that the matter had been brought to an issue at this time. They would have preferred to wait un- til after the May election, and many who are strongly in favor of the new charter either did not go to the polls. or if they did. they voted against it. and brought up some time next year. There was a strong objection to con tinuing in power the four present members of the council, circumstance unavoidable by the proposed charter Almost no work was done in it's be- half, while on the other hand it's op- ponents were quite active. It was circulated broadcast that if adopted it would be invalid; that it greatly in creased the city payroll, and allowed a greater tax rate: that it gave the
  ordering of improvements, and in the general control of the affairs of the city. Nobody on the side of the char ter took pains to remove whatever inn pression may have been made by these representa- tionS. Not one man in a hundred had read the charter. and a ma ajority of those who had. had done so so carelessly that they did not know what it did really contain. The fear of increased taxation, however, could not have cut an important figure. for it happened that the heaviest taxpay- CTS generally favored it, and it received its strongest support in the Second ward, where not only many of the largest taxpayers live. but in which more than in any other. it may be said the residents own their own homes.
 Only 669 votes were cast-only lit tie more than half the registration. and that was very light. The charter was more strongly opposed in the Fourth ward. There was a congestion of city employees in that ward. It was nat ural that they should resist it, since 1t would necessitate new election. and they would again be put in jeopardy. The appointive officers. the members of the police and fire departments. the drivers of the sprinkling wagons and all who are dependent upon the pres ent order of things, were unfavorable to a change. The charter people say that the opposition marshalled it's whole strength, and that next time it will be easily overcome. It is quite certain that the matter will be pre- sented to the people again next year.
 The vote by wards was as follows:
 First ward-For charter. 36. against. 136.
 Second ward-For charter. 5I; against, 57.
 Third ward-For charter. 42; against. 135.
 Fourth ward-For charter, IS; against, 194.
