NOMINATED ON 1,o12TH BALLOT.
Lands Wins for Congress, Defeating
Steele, in Indianapolis.

Frederick X Landis a brother of Repre-
sentative Charles B. Lands of the ninth
district was nominated for Congress at
Indianapolis yesterday by the republicans
of the eleventh district, after bitter con-
test which has been in progress for the
last two months, defeating Major George
w. Steele, who has represented the district
for many years. Cowgirl, Good and Lam
dis combined against Steele under pledge
to throw their strength to each other, and
in no event to permit Steeles nomination.
After balloting from Wednesday afternoon
until o'clock yesterday morning and from
IL am. to o'clock in the afternoon the
convention nominated Lands, the closing
ballot being the 1,012th of the convention.
Frederick X Lands is a brother of Rep
resentative Charles B. Lands of Indiana.
He was born in Butler county, Ohio, Au-
gust, 1873 and is now in his twenty eighth
year. He has done some newspaper work,
principally correspondence, and for a year
during the Spanish-American war lived in
Washington and was connected with one of
the news bureaus in this city. In 1899 he
was admitted to the bar at Logansport, TO
which city his parents moved when he was
an infant, and has engaged in the practice
of law to some extent, most of his time,
however, being devoted to campaign work.
He attracted the attention of the repubi-
cans of the state at the annual meeting of
the Lincoln League at Anderson in Febru-
airy, 1899 a republican organization or
gained many years ago by Gen. w. w.
Dudley, now of Washington. There he re-
sponded to the toast The Army and Navy"
and made such hit that his spellbinders
were distinct feature of all the republican
love feasts in the campaign of that year.
He made in all over 100 speeches in the
presidential campaign and accompanied
President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna on
their tour of Indiana. In the last Ohio
campaign he spoke with Senators Hanna
and Foraker and Speaker Henderson on
their trips. His speeches aroused much en-
thusiasm- He began his newspaper career
as a carrier on the Logansport Journal. Of
which his brother, Representative Lands.
was city editor. and gave promise of flu
ture greatness in his method of distribut-
ing papers. The family horse. Buckskin.
was pressed into service, and the youthful
carrier became so expert that he could ride
down the street on gallop delivering
papers, tightly rolled, with unerring aim
on either side, to the great envy of the
other carriers. Another brother later CITY
editor of the same paper, Walter X Lam
dis. is now postmaster at San Juan, Porto
Rico.

Of the eyes. But the complexion and other
marks would be found on the face which
would indicate whether the man was in the
habit of drinking the one kind of thing or
the other.
THE same may be said about other kinds
of drinks. Take the man. for instance, who
drinks beer regularly. The barkeepers can
tell it by what may be called the mellow
cast of his features. Beer gives the face
entirely different hue from that which re-
suits from the long use of either brandy or
whisky. / am sometimes inclined to think
that beer has sort of Matchmaking in
fuence. l have seen Englishmen, French
men and even Italians drink beer until they
looked like they had just come from the
fatherland. 1t is an easy thing to tell the
beer drinker just from the appearance of
his face. / may say the same thing about
the man who drinks absinthe. The indica-
tions are probably more pronounced in the
case of the man who uses absinthe than in
other cases. The things entering into the
combination are stronger and have a more
violent effect on the human system.
But at any rate, the barkeepef can tell
just what the man is in the habit of drink
ing IL he will make study Of the faces
The brandy face. the whisky face the beer
face. the absinthe face are all different. and
the lines are easily traced by the man who
will take the trouble to study the effects Of
different drinks for a while"

The Psychology of Hair.
nm the Liyerpool Daily Post.

From the Liverpool Daily Post.
Coarse black hair indicates power OF char
acter, with a tendency to sensuality.
Straight, stiff black hair and beard indi-
cate coarse, strong, rigid and straightfor-
ward personality. Fine hair generally de-
notes exquisite sensibilities; fat, clinging,
straight hair. a melancholy but constant
habit Harsh. upright hair is the sign OF
a reticent and sour spirit, a stubborn and
cruel character. Coarse red hair and whis-
kers are accompanied by violent animal
passions but some force of Individuality.
Auburn hair, on the contrary, denotes the
highest order of sentiment and intensity Of
feeling purity of thought and the greatest
capacity for pain or pleasure Crisp, curly
hair we regret to say, is indicative of a
hasty, impetuous and rash character, and.
generally light hair is characteristic of
Emphatic and indoent constitution. There
is no doubt that the coloring matter OF the
hair may be in some way affected or may
affect the disposition, for II is an odd thing
how often the sulphur in red hair or the
carbon in black appears in the individuals
acts and thoughts.

Nj. Choate, American ambassador at
London, has informed the State Depart
ment that cablegram from the governor
of the Windward Islands to the Colonial Of
flee reports that the Canadian government
has made a substantial effort toward the
relief Of the distress I'm st. Vincent by sup
plies of money or in kind, and Canada also
will supply the bulk of the timber required
for rebuilding the destroyed homes. The
government of the United States, so Lord
Pauncefote has been informed, VIII give

dian timber through the United States to
ports where it will be taken aboard ships
and conveyed to st. Vincent

blue, white and red stripes. thirteen in
number, red field with five-point yellow

cation, by Mr. John X. Elgee Of Rapides

that the thirteen stripes represent the ORR
glnal states of the Union; the blue, white
held represents France, that explored and
colonized it; the yellow stands for Spain,
that governed it and gave it many laws; the
nVe-pointed star indicated that another ma

1t Is noteworthy fact that in carrying
this flag In the civil war, Louisiana SOL

by reason of the similarity of the flag to
the stars and stripes of the Union.

Do Fish SleepP
From Science Siftings.

There is no real scientific authority on
the question to whether fish sleep,
though, from the alternating habits Of
some species. it is reasonable to suppose
that any fish might sleep. There have
been numerous cases of goldfish frozen
solid in the ice. and it is presumable that dur
ing the frozen period they must have been
in a comatose state which could be prop
erly called sleep. Fish in aquaria have
been seen to rest for long periods without
motion, save for that It the gills, though
fish have no eyelids they cannot close their
eyes in any circumstances.

Absinth. the green tiend that satu-
rates fashionable France, was original
ly an extremely harmless medical
remedy.
1t was French physician who first
used it. His name was Ordinaire, and
he was living as a refugee at Couvet,
In Switzerland, at the close Of the
eighteenth century. Like many other
country doctors at that time. he was
also a druggist. and his favorite rene
dy was a certain elixir Of absinth of
which he alone had the secret.
At his death he bequeated the for
mula to his housekeeper. Mile. Grand
pierre. and she sold it to the daughters
of Lieutenant HenriOd. They cult
waited in their little garden the herbs
necessary for concocting it, and after
they had distilled certain quantity Of
the liquid they sold it on commission
to itinerant peddlers. who quickly dis
posed of it in the adjacent towns and
villages.
Finally, during the first decade of the
nineteenth century, a wealthy distiller
purchased the formula, and very soon
afterward he placed on the market the
modern absinth, which differs greatly
from the old medical remedy, since the
latter contained no alcohol and very
little absinth.

The Brooklyn Citizen prints an eXpe-

Europe and declares that he did not
meet but one person who hesitated
over the acceptance of a fee:
| was wandering through an OLD
graveyard in an English town and had
stopped before a stone which had not
been long in place. A man who must
have been following me stepped up and
said:
"Ah, sir, but she who lies here will
be missed for years to come. She was
for half Il lifetime the president Of the
charity board"
IN an absentminded way | handed
him a sixpence, said the traveller He
received it. turned it over in his hand
in hesitating way and finally STAN
mered:
''As she was my own wife. sir. and
rs | was here to plant flowers on her
grave. perhaps it would not be exactly
proper to accept Il fee"
replied that but fer him | might
never have known about her being

lowed his scruples and pocketed the
siXpence with one motion and with evi-
dent satisfaction.
