DOES PEROXIDE WEAKEN MIND9
Lawyer Attempt to Show Woman Who Bleached Her Hair Was Incapable

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Does bleaching the hair have a tendency 10 weaken the mind or bring on insanity .? was question brought up today in the Second District Municipal Court before Justice Van Wart in a case instituted by Catharine Bendt against her eister. Mary Ellen Bendt. to recover $500 which sne had loaned to her mother. now deceased.
 in March. 1903.
 The mother left an estate valued at s. 16) and by the will disinherited her daugh- = ter. Mary Ellen. The will was in favor of her three other children. Catharne Bendt. Ray Brockwell and Edwin Brockwel and they were to receive share and share alike. with the exception that the $500 made as loan to her by Catharine was 10 be paid back.
 Wilbur W. Chambers. acting for Mary Ellen. who had been appointed administra- trix by Surrogate Church. when the will was rejected last April. endeavorcd to show that Mrs. Brockwell had suffered from form of insa ;ty during the illness pre- ceding her death and in this effort asked the question above referred to. He asked if Mrs. Brockwell had been of sound min1 and asked if she was accustomed to bleach
 her hair. giving the court as his reasont for this question that the use of peroxide
 or bleach on the hair might also evlnce q weak mind. as well as having a tendencS Co unbalance 1t.

The Lost C0smo.c.

This letter ended as abruptly as the first, the writer again withholding his name.
 One of the closely written pages however, bore the endorsement of many noted men.
 There are some who dream of a. time when direct communication will De held with those who sailed away on The Cosmos"
 It may be that the great air ship with its human freight is a derelict in space. It is more comforting, how ever. to believe that The Cosmos" kept steadily on her course and at last reached her affinitous planet Her coming may have been noted many days In advance and perhaps her pas- sengers received a royal welcome as they set foot on the hospitable shores of that planet in the far distant realms of space.
 It cannot be that the savants and sages of all lands who accompanied that expedition will be content to sit with folded hands and deplore their | unhappy fate.
 Constituting within their own ranks | a splendid company and being stimu- l lated in their research by the strange atmosphere of new world. they may ere long, solve something of the great secret that has made eternal space the | abode of silence for millions of years. Until their going thither only One had ever crossed this great chasm of silence that separates the two plan- cts It Is plausible to presume that they are nearer the great goal than are the denizens of Earth and that coupling
 their vast earthly knowledge with the inspiration that comes of contact with new world they will eventually dis | cover the secret of traversing space at will.
 Then will the silence of the centuries
 be broken.
 Some day during the height of the
 rush and turmoil of business a strange
 message will flash athwart the sky. strange forbodng, (not of death) will fall upon the Earth folk. The feeling will be one of inexpressi-
 ble joy; joy so deep and profound that 1t will almost paralyze the soul. By intuition, every mind will instantly realize that old Earth has been swung
 back into her rightful place in the
 galaxy of planets. Tho circuit broken
 by fire, cons ago. will be re-established
 and in twinkling she will be In
 longer isolated and adriN, she will i'll
 start out anew on her endless jour-
 ney gathering new knowledge daily from her sister planets. In the meantime new air ships will
 be built that will have the power to practically annihilate time and
 space. The first vessel to sail from
 Earth will be ladened with the wives
 and children of those who sailed away
 on The Comos.
 It Is not given that those who jour- ney from this planet shall return again
 and so the passengers who would sail
 on the first airship. look forward to the time of their departure with min gled feelings of joy and sadness. The survivors of The Comos," stand on
 the headlands of their new planet,
 gaze with tear dimmed eyes into space and long for the time to come when
 they can cry, Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy. Ship ahoy!"

There was no doubt as to its authen- ticity. The whole world was thrown into profound stato of excitement that was not allayed in the least when the startling announcement was made that second letter had been found.
 Excitement was now at white heat. The theme became well nigh universal The second alleged communication from The Cosmos" was evidently pre- pared by the author of the first letter. It bore comparatively recent date and ran as follows:
 '"To the Citizens of Earth:
 More than a year ago The Cosmos sailed from your sphere on a voyage that has never ended. In a former message 1t was stated that Professor Rothstone had been injured and that we had lost control of the Cosmos.
 Happily for us the Professor was restored 10 consciousness at the expi- ration of week. He almost imme- diately assumed charge of the ship and once more we began to hope that we would speedily return to friends and loved ones. But our buoyant hopes were destroyed at one fell blow
 imagine our consternation when he announced that the chief engineer in his excitement had injured a portion of the duplicate machinery. The loss was irreparabie. and caused a strong feeling of indignation. This was changed to pity, however, when 1t be- came known that the engineer had be- come raving maniac.
 For a time the ship could be pro- peiled with perfect ease in any direc- tion except downwards. But there was ever an upward motion, and the rain Of cosmic dust was ever increasing. The fear of starvation no longer stared us in the face. for there was no thirst and no desire to partake of food.
 Then a day came when Professor Rothstone announced that he could no longer control the movements of the ship.
 Gradually but surely the last piece Of machinery yielded to some strange influence and became inert and pow erless
 And then. freed from all hind rances, The Cosmos continued her up- ward flight through space. with ever increasing velocity.
 Weeks. even months, passed by. vet she held her steady, unvarying course toward that mystic, far-distant planet that had not yet come within the range of our most powerful instruments.
 Reference to the velocimeter re- vealed the fact that The Cosmos was rushing upward at the rate of 500 miles per hour.
 Tn the meantime a strange exhila- ration unknown to the denizens of earth had seized upon us. All regrets and forebodings were destroyed. There was no desire to return to your planet.
 Professor B.. of the Royal Ob- servatory at M has just made the announcement that he has discovered the planet that controls our destiny. It is one million and eighty thousand miles away, but if our present velocity continues we shall reach 1t in ninety days.
 This letter may never reach its des- tination, but I shall cast 1t. and many others, off into space with the hope that they will fulfill their mission: viz. that of causing the world to no longer mourn for us as lost"

Prosperous Negro Farmers.

Birmingham Age-hera4o'
 It is stated that in Talladego county there is a negro farmer who rents land from n white landlord. and who this year began work owing $1.9Oo. That from the pro ceeds of his farm thIs negro has paid ht' rent, paid the sl.9OO and has money in bank to his credit
 That negro is not politician. He doubt less pays his taxes-in fact, that is as cer- tain as death It is also doubtless true that his children. if he has any. are at school and that the schooling of these children costs two, three or four times the amount of taxes he pays the county and the State the balance of the burden being borne by the white land borne willingly. too, for the white people of Alabama vote the school tax upon themselves each and every time the question is submitted
 Now the thought of inducing an energetic. law abiding negro of Alabama to forsake the farm and leave in a colonization scheme for the Northwest or for any other part of the habitabe globe. is preposterous He will not do ~ He knows exactly where he belongs, and that in the south his efforts for good are always encouraged by the best elements of the whites.

Grade Crossings Must Disappear.

T
 Sooner or later there will be an irresist- able movement for the elimination of grade crossings. in the country as well as in the cities. The present carelessness of the pub lie safety-for which the public itself 's largely responsible-will in the end bring it's own remedy. Selt-interest as well as legal restrictions will some day convince railway companies in the United States. as 1t has in the old world. that 1t is nor" economical in the long run to put their tracks above or below other routes of travel and traffic. that trains can be run at any rate of seed desired without the present alternative of loss of time or danger of a slaughter when crossing streets. road or other lines steam or electric.

Extend the Privilege.
Portland OregonNn.

PortIanu OregonSn.
 If 1t be right to carry a gun, and from the many instances that come to notice it appears that the nation at large considers that such action is not improper, the earlier a boy learns to tote Gatling the better. One can not begin target practice too young. It seems strange. therefore. that the young sters of Lansing. Mich, variously aged from 8 to II. should be taken to task for carrying revolvers to protect themselves from tyrannical aggression by their teach CTS. If the law is insufficient protection for a man what reason is there for sup posing that 1t will protect a child? Let us be logical. Give the boy gun and train him to shoot anyone he doesn't like.

Curing the Practical Joker.

Burllngton Hawkeye
 There is a disposition to discourage practical jokers at Grandview. Three cheerful idiots placed a dummy on the track of the interurban. The mo- torman was frightened out of his wits his attempt to stop the car resulted in bruises for the passengers, who were thrown over the seats by the sudden stop. And the jokers found 1t was no joke when they were asked to put up $500 appearance bonds. And the com pany, finding that their car had been damaged, Is disposed to push the prose cution. It is probable that at least these three will be pretty thoroughly cured for the practical joke idiocy be- fore they get through with the case in hand.

Burr md Hamilton,

 An odd case of coincidence in names Is seen in Spring Street near Macdougal The entrance of Aaron Burr's country place. Richmond Hill was at the corner of two streets, and on the morning when Burr fought the duel with Alex ander Hamilton he walked out of that gate on his way to Weehawken. At 2S5 Spring Street. only a few steps from where the gate stood, Aaron Burr, jeweller, now has a shop. At PAT, a few doors beyond. "A. Hamilton, build CT" is doing business.
