WOMAN WITH PURPLE HAIR

Mrs. James Kaiser, of Hampstead,
L. l., wants $4,000 from Nine. Julia
Coates, a Brooklyn hairdresser, be-
cause, as she claims, Mrs. Coates
turned her hair from gray to purple,
and consequently made her an object
of ridicule. Mrs. Kaiser says she
wanted to hide gray streak in her
black hair, and that Mrs. Coates
guaranteed a certain lotion to do the
work. Mrs. Kaiser, after she had
applied the application, went out for
a drive, and when she returned her
hair had turned a brilliant purple.
She washed it, but the more she
washed the deeper the purple Le-
came. Nine. Coates says the direc-
tions on the bottle were not followed.

Hanna in Eruption.

Senator Hanna is reported having
made the air sl:lphurous yesterday in de-
nunciation of the newspapers that have
criticised his attitude on the isthmian canal
question. and was specially vituperative in
regard to cartoon in Fridays Star that
represented him the painter of lurid
picture of Nicaraguan volcanoes. with j. j.
Hill in the background appiauding his
work This he regarded an iusinuation
that he was under he influence of the
trauscontiueutaI railroads In his opposition
to the Nicaragua route.
Now, for a man of the ability and sense
of humor of Mr.. Hanna he shows sur
prising readiness to fit this cap to his head
The Star believes in the honesty of mo-
tIvcs of Mr.. Hanna, not only in the canal
matter. but in all ms career: yet as has
been pointed out in these columns many
times. the advocates of the Panama route
and all the other elements of opposition 10
the Nicaragua route, are unwittingly play
ing into the hands of the steamer and rail-
road interests that are working to prevent
the construction of any isthmian canal
In Mr. Hanna hair-raising description of
the Nicaraguan volcanoes he was simply
echoing the Mortified utterances of Railroad
President J. J. Hill month ago. who said
Nicaragua is a dangerous and unfit place
for any great works of public character
and most Of all. for vast canal system
built of concrete and masonry, to which
any earth quake or volcanic disturbances
would be fatal
Quite naturally The stars cartoon put
Mr. Hill in the attitude of applauding Mr.
Hanna's graphic work of art in the same
line. They both use big brush and the
reddest kind of paint. On another page OF
The Star a reproduction is given of a car

The Arkansas Democrats.

The platform of the Arkansas democrats
adopted yesterday contains this plank:
I'VE recognize the Kansas City platform
as the declaration of the national democ-
racy upon national questions until supplant-
ed by action of a succeeding national con-
Vcntion and as such we hereby declare a
general Endorsement of the same
The choice was between saying something
or nothing on this subject. Had the sub
ject been ignored completely an anu-Bryan
triumph would have been registered. Ar
kansas would have been listed with the
states abandoning the Bryanite influence.
But does the action taken amount to much
The declaration made is simply to the eff
feet that national convention is the only
power competent to write national plat
form. There cannot be any dispute on tina.
point. But Mr.. Bryan does not stop there.
He contends that the platform written by
the last democratic national convention is
good enough to be Endorsed by the mex.
national convention, and he insists that that
must be done. The Arkansas democrats
however, are free-handed as to that Yes
terday's deiverance commits them to no
particular platform for 1904. They will be
as free to oppose to indorse the Kansas
City platform at that time, and their action
then may not with entire safety be pre-
dtcted from their present attitude.

West Points Centenary.

The ceremonies at West Point today
mark the completion of the first hundred
years Of the existence of the Military
Academy. an institution which has become
famed the world over as one Of the finest
training schools for military officers ever
organized. Whatever the American army
Is today is due In large measure to the
efficiency of the officers who have fur
nished in time of war. the skeleton frame
work upon which great volunteer organiza-
lions have been constructed. 1t is by no
means derogatory TO the volunteer thus TO
oestow this need of praise upon West
Point Doubtless without such an institu-
ton 10 make solid the groundwork of or
ganizatiOn the American people could in
time have always arisen TO any emergency,
however trying. 10 defend, perpetuate or
extend American principles. But with
West Point as reliance. as the pro-
Queer OF military geniuses, the work of as
semeling great effective armies has I'M
Guestionably been greatly iessened and the
result has been humane shortening of
war
3 The Military Academy was conceived by
George Washington, with his usual fore
sight and wisdom. But II was not until
1902. three years after his death that Con-
Eress provided for the commencement of
the work he so strongly urged. The first
academy consisted, of seven officers and ten
cadets. and the early years of the institu u

TONS existence were zdiscouraging and
hard. 1t was not until 1872, when war
threatened the new government for the
first time since 1t was independently es-
tablished, that Congress passed. laws which
effectively organized the academy and put
1t upon the basis which has been main
tanned until today.
From that time forward the academy
hourished and became a solid institution.
1t produced hundreds of good soldiers, who
because of their training, were the better
citizens. 1t established a standard of eff
fciency second to none in the world. Its
discipline and scholastic requirements have
always been high. There was period when
certain foolish customs among the cadets
became intoerably cruel and a reform re-
suited which has greatly increased the pub
lie respect for and admiration of the acad-
envy. Now that hazing has been practically
eliminated. West Point is he'd in the high
est esteem by all the people, who are proud
of the establishment as the type of efficient
Americansm.
The roll of honor of the Military Academy
is long and brilliant. Some of the worlds
most famous commanders have graduated
from the institution. When civil strife rent
the country many of the graduates, follow
u
army and furnished the substance of the
military efficiency of the confederate armies.
In some of the most important battles the
contending forces were commanded by grad
yates of the academy. When the war closed,
two West Pointers faced each other to per-
form the last act of the struggle. the sur
render at Appomatox. Nothing could more
surely typify West Point as the whole
COuntry'S institution, worthy to be celebrat-
ed now at the completion of Its first GEN.
tury. than the fact that its corps today in
cludes cadets from not only the section
which reverences the name of Grant, but
that which pays tribute to the name of Lee.
The spirit of reunion is being displayed at
West Point in the current ceremonies in
manner to indicate that the West Point Of
all future will be the training school of
men who will never find themselves en-
gagged on opposite sides of great civil ar
gument in arms.

leopard in one of the local Zoo cages
reached out the other day and clawed a
woman who was standing near by. She
was badly scratched. her clothing was
ruined and she was seriously shocked by
fright. Had it not been for the prompt
assistance of a bystander death might have
followed the animals attack. 1t would
seem from this occurrence that the safe
guards at the Zoo are not sufficient. The
rails in front of the cages should evidently
be placed farther away from the bars so
that the longest reach of the beasts will
not be dangerous Familiarity with the
Gagged animals breeds some measure of
contempt for their ability to do harm, and
