DECIDED IN AFFIRMATIVE
A $500 Bet on the Color of Thomas
Jefferson's Hair Settled.
The Assertion That We Never Had
Red-Haired President Proved
20 BE ErroneOus.

Washington, Nov. S.-Historians OF
Washington and those who have made
bets OF whether or not Thomas Jeffer-
son had red hair. have decided the
weighty question in the Affirmative.
His historians are backed up in their
decision by descriptions and some OF
the hair, which has been in the keep

clipped from Jefferson's head while he
occupied the White House so long ago.
The question as to the color of JEFF
ferson's hair came up in Washington
as the result of a bet. II seems that
several men were discussing the cleo
when some one asserted that the peo-
pie of the United States had never
elected a red-headed president. Conse-
quently, the speaker argued, Judge Par
ker had no chance. The statement was
Immediately questioned, and it was as
serted that Jefferson had red hair. The
controversy waxed so warm that bet
of $500 was made and a committee was
appointed to come to Washington to
inspect Stuart's picture of Jefferson,
which hangs in the Red parlor OF the |
White House. The committee saw this |
and decided that the statesman had |
sandy hair. But now the historians |
have taken hand in the controversy
and have discovered that Jefferson had
red hair and that the painting has !
either faded or that the artist tried to
be charitable.
In the case containing relics of JEFF
ferscn in the national museum is the
small lock of hair which was cut from
Jeffersons head. This was inspected
by DR.. A. Howard Clark, curator of
history, and reporter. The hair is

A MOCKERY OF ENGLAND.

What Russians Consider Huge
Joke Played Upon England.
ST. Petersburg, Nov 8.-M. Clado.
one OF the officers who were landed
from the Baltic fleet in Vigo, and who
proceeded to st. Petersburg, to pre-
sent the North sea matter, is not a
naval officer, but major in the army.
He was simply Admiral Rojestvensky's
guest and intended to land in Vigo
when the feet left the Baltic. The
fact that Admiral Rojestvensky left
him behind as q responsible officer
who would give the details of the Dog
ger bank affair, is nothing less than
mockery to England. The car, it is
learned, has loaded M Clado with hon
ors. Russians society is hilarious over
the farce in sending him to the capital
as representative of the fleet.

Birmingham, England, Nov. S.-The
London correspondent of the Post

isterial circles owing to the possibility
of the Baltic feet getting into further
trouble. There is also the prospect that
the Russian Black Sea fleet will en-
deavor to pass the Dardanelles and add
to the danger of the situation.
The international situation, says the
dispatch, continues to be one of great
delicacy.
AS the result of the speech of Lord
Lansdowne, the British secretary for
foreign affairs, at the Guild Hall ban
quet, on Wednesday next, is awaited
with some anxiety.

Whether the blow was struck DELHI

The young man says it was involun-
