JAMB12EES WERE EXPENSIVE
Aoout -1irty-Five Cases Were Tried

When The curtain wont up at the
mayors matinee ye nictaay morning
9 rather crowded hSss greeted AL
dermen Newman, Mayer Crovatt not
icing present and the session of the
court wa one of the most interesting
ever held.
The Christmas offenders were there,
White and black, male and female,
small ano large, some with black eyes
cthefs with a lame leg. while many
had not entirely recovered from the
celebration.
Tie "pan" was crowded, while any
lumber CT others were there who had
given bond, and the conrr was in ses-
sion for bout two hours
The charge against the offenders
was mostly for plain Christmas drunk
while oLc or two were charged with
resisting arrest, fighting, etc.
1t seems that it was rather a guilty
day n the court, and only three or
four escaped paying something into the
citys exchequer, the fines ranging
rom 81 d days to SO or 80 days
and quite a neat sum was realized
rom the matinee, while the city

ANNEXATION Is THE ISSUE.
Campaign Closed in Halifax, N. C.
Yesterday.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 26.-To a majori.
Ity of the citizens of the United States
the very existence Of the islands of
ISt. Pierce and Miquelon the last
possessions of the French in North
America, is perhaps unknown, and to
learn that in the insular campaign
which closed today the chief issue
has been the question of annexation
to- the United States will be all the
more surprising. The election, which
takes place tomorrow, is for member
of the Chamber of Deputies at Pris.
The annexation issue has been up
permost in the campaigns, notwith-
standing the announcement from
Paris THAT the French government
was not contemplating the sale of the
islands. The islands are valuable
solely as fishing stations and this ac-
counts in a great measure for the an
lnexation sentiment that has lately de-
veloped there. Most Of the supplies
are imported from the United States
| and the citizens believe that if the is,
lands were sold to that country these
necessities would be imported free
LOT duty. They also argue that it
would be great advantage to be able
to land their fish in the American mar
kets free.
The annexation sentiment, however,
lis by no means unanimous, and the
campaign has been very heated, sever
al duels having been fought on account

PLUMBER CAT.
Device by Which Woman Sets Feline to Discover
 Leak i'm Pipe.

Making her cat act as her plumber was the ingenious feat that woman sf Manayunk accomplished the other lay, says the Philadelphia Record. This woman had noticed that one of he pipes connected with the washstand In her bathroom leaked, and she wished to locate the leak precisely, without tearing out any more of her wall than was needful Accordingly, she shut her cat up in the parlor-the parlor Is directly below the bathroom and into the basin of the defective washstand she poured vial of the oil of valerian Cats are excessively fond of the odor of valerian; a cat would rather inhale this odor than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's cat, after it had been in the parlor few minutes, began to purr. Purring, 1t crossed the room; it settled itself on the floor with it's face to one spot on the wall, and here it's mistress found it when she came downstairs, its nose glued to the spot, snifing and purring ecstatically. The wall was opened at this point, and here, sure enough, the leak was found. Here the valerian had trickled through, lmparting it's intoxicating odor to the cat.

INTEREST IN COTTON GROWING
Prominent British Merchant Says America Will Soon Want for
 Home Use All Raised There.

Interest has been renewed in the cot ton growing experiments being con- ducted in West Africa, through an in- terview given by Sir Alfred Jones, a prominent Liverpool, England, merr chant, who has been studying the pro- duction of cotton for tkree years. He declares that the United States will soon want for home uses all the cotton grown there.
 About ten years ago." he said, America produced about 7,O00, ,000 bales of cotton and Great Britain took half of it. Now America produces il, ,O00, ,0OO bales and Britain takes no more than she did ten years ago. Then the British Cotton Growing association was started and the results of the asso- ciation's work have been more satisfac- tory than I anticipated. The whole of the West African colonies and the West Indies have been made to take deep interest in the question of raising cot ton and are working exceedingly we'll America may yet have to look to West Africa for her cotton supply, because believe cotton will be produced more cheaply in West Africa than in the United Sfates.''

FOR GIRL WITH THIN HAIR.
New Method of Arranging the TRessea to Give Them Fashionable
 FuAlmess.

For the girl whose hair is thin the making of big, fluffy pompadour has involved much trouble. It has meant the wearing of rat" which has over heated the head and made the hair grow even thinner. Now there is 8 new method which does away entirely with the rat" and yet gives the fash- ionable pompadour. Instead of divid- ing the hair across the top of the head, and using part for the pompadour and part for the back dressing, all the hair is now used for the pompadour. The first step is brushing the hair straight back and carefully combing 1t, says Woman's Home Companion.
 The next step is to part the hair in the same old way across the top of the head; then brush the back hair up, and secure it with an elastic band or mar row piece of black tape. The front of hair is brushed over the forehead, to be combined with the back hair later on in making the pompadour.
 Now divide the hair in three parts, using the back hair for the middle strand. Take each strand separately, fluff the hair with the comb on the un- der side, and take the middle strand, which is the back hair, and treat 1t in the same way. The remaining strand must also be combed and auffed and drawn back; the ends of the three strands are now pinned together and tucked up under the pompadour.
 To make the back dressing & switch Is needed. One of the new, wavy, light weight switches should be used. Though the average girl may not like the idea of wearing false hair, yet 1t is really much more sensible to wear a switch than rat. especially when the switch is not to be arranged high on the head Pin the switch to the hair just about where the ends of the front hair were tucked under and fas- tened.
 If the hairused is one of the new, wavy switches, by twisting 1t little it will almost fall into the correct position of it's own accord. In arranging the hair be sure that the lowest coil really rests low on the neck. At the top be careful to pin in the ends of the hair neatly.
