Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 14.-Will-

Wilkesbarre's unique characters.
He was born without any hair on his
head, and at the age of SO he is still
without any. His head has always
been as smooth as a billiard bail.
When a younger man Behee visited
nearly all the prominent physicians
in the country to see if they could
make hair grow. All the doctors
said it was a remarkable case.
A noted French specialist, while
on a visit to this country, heard of
Behees case from New York
doctor, and came here to see him.
He remained for half day with the
WilSesbarre man. examining his
head. Upon his return to Paris he
wrote to Behee to come to France for
an examination, promising to pay all
expenses, but he declined. The
latter had an idea that the French

pose. He merely wanted to exhibit
him to the medical school of Paris.
A trip was also contemplated to
Berlin and Vienna.
A young man one time came near
losing his life on account of Behee's
bald head. His name was Michael
Cough, BARRIERS apprentice in the
shop of Alexander Schwartz, in this
city. When Behee was a young man
he did not mind going around Wilkes
barre minus his hair. but when he
went out of town he was very par

his appearance altogether One day
he was going to New York, AMI stop
ped in to Stewards shop to get a
shave. Young Coughs chair was the
! only one empty. He had never met
Behee before, having come here from
the country.
Behee thought he would have some
fun with the young man. He told
him he wanted a hair cut. The
young mau turned to get pair of
scissors, and as he did so Badly
snatched the wig from his head and
threw it over in the corner of the
room. When Cough turned around
again and beheld Behee's bald head
he tainted and fell to the floor. He
was removed TO his home, where he
remained for some months. At one
time it was thought he would not re-
cover. He seemed like a man IN
delirium tremons. He would be
seized with commissions and cry out

Daniel O'Connell once told the house of commons an amusing story of brib- cry. A farmer in the county of Wex- ford was promised position for his son in return for his vote for a mem. Der of the Loftus family. The fathers ambition for the boy aimed at a ser geantcy in the artillery. but Lord Loftus, on applying for this post for the youth. was informed that it was totally impossible to grant his request, inasmuch as it required previous service of six years to qualify candi- date for the position. Does it require six years to qualify him for a lieuten- ancy" demanded Lord Loftus. Ger tainly not" was the answer. Well, can't you make him a lieutenant, then?" rejoined Lord Loftus.

Is Now Under Control and Very Little
 Damage Done -. Originated in
 Stope No. 40 of the Spray
 Some excitement was created late Tuesday night by the announcement that No. 40 stope in the Spray mine was on fire. Superintendent Clawson was called and upon investigation it was discovered than an old gob about 43x30, which had long ago been filled with cheap sulphide ore, was smol- dering and smoke was issuing there from. About S:30 men working in that part of the mine, detected sul- phur fumes and gave the alarm. Wa ter was at once turned on the smolder- ing fire and last night Superintendent absolute control. a..
 The fire started from spontaneous combustion caused by the sulphide ores. For the past seven months the stope had been gradually growing warmer and the fire was not entirely unexpected. While the mere state ment that the mine was on fire caus- ed some excitement, the mine officials at once saw there was no cause for alarm. Water was brought into the stope in barrels and the progress of the fire checked until water could be piped in from the Spray shaft A crew of pipe filters were at work all Tuesday night until Wednesday morn ing about 10 o'clock. when all the connections were made and the stope was flooded with the result that the fire was completely extinguished.
 The damage to the timbers was very slight. The largest expense attaching feet of pipe

WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial ccrrespondence.l. l.

E The new justice of the supreme court, Oliver Wendell Holmes, is re. ported to have inherited from his ia. ther a sparkling wit and a very well developed sense of humor Speculation is already rife as to what will happen if the new justice in an inadvertent moment attempts to exercise either while the court is engaged in it's de. Alterations.
 There has not been a flash of humor in supreme court proceedings, for which the court was responsible, since its organization, and a joke, if made by a member of the bench with the court in session, would certainly be at. tended by disastrous consequences.
 joke or witticism calculated to make member of the supreme court smile would be like exploding a bomb shell in the courtroom. There are a few members who probably would rot recover from the shock The otheru would be safe only in case they were utterly unable to comprehend the new members meaning.
 Chief Justice Fuller, although an xf- fable man away from the court, is anything but a humorist. Justice Har- Ian is man of broad sympathies, but he has the serious cast of mind which is nodded by long service on the bench. Justice Gray probably never made joke in his life and considers levity Tn bad taste. The late Senator Vance of North Carolina once met Gray in Flu rope in some old Italian palace.
 Hello, Cray" said Vance cheerful ly, ''are you travelling for pleasure or is your wife along?"
 Mrs. Gray was so much along that she overheard the North Carolina mans inquiry, and Gray never forgave Vance. That may be why he detests humorists.
 One glance at Shiras, the member of the court from Pennsylvania, would satisfy the most casual observer that he has no time to ponder over jests and no interest in them. It is not on record that Shiras has laughed heartily since he was accused, wrongfully. it is now said, of changing his mind upo3 the income tax

That of the trustees of the university com menced today and promises to be the most important in the history of the body.

Bishop Conaty has evinc- ed desire to retire from his position at the head of the university, but it is believed that he will be prevailed upon to continue in charge, at least until there is a vacant see to which he can be promoted.
