A good hair tonic is made as follows:
Bay rum, ounces; rain water, 4 ounces;
quinine, 20 grains. This is one of the
best hair tonics and restoratives for
general daily use known. 1t promotes
vigorous growth, and keeps the hair soft
and glossy. If the hair is very light,
falls out and breaks, the quinine wash
should be applied every night before re-
firing.

NV Lady's Health.

Immeasurably beyond everything else,
is health the way of beauty. In entering
a room full of people to whom is the
eye first attracted, II not to the ones who
have this buoyant air of intense life and
animation? This is not essentially a
quality which belongs to youth; it is as
often found among the old and middle
aged. And in spite of our vauuted
physical culture we do not see this tri-
umphant healthiness half as often as we
ought. Therefore, in the brief space at
my disposal / will endeavor to show you
some of the WAYS in which this great
blessing may be cultivated, or in part
acquired. l cannot lay down strict rules
and say, "If you eat this, if you avoid
that, if you 60 to bed at this hour, and
if you get up at that, you will be healthy
and you will be beautiful" Constitu-
tions, dispositions, and temperaments
vary so tremendously that it is only
possible to indicate broad regime
which every woman must modify to suit
the needs of her own case.
Plenty of sleep is the first and most
important point. Excitable natures,
and those which are inclined to be
nervous or irritable and in consequence
get easily overweight, require nine to
ten hours. More stolid dispositions
should find seven or eight hours suffi-
cient, but it is far better to err on the
side of too much sleep than too little.
Next in Importance is food. The ideal
diet consists of abundance of simple and
nutritious food, sufficiently varied to
supply all the complex and continually
changing needs of the organism, and
cooked in such way as to be, firstly
digestible, and secondly appetizing. 1t
is impossible for food to be too plain,
provided it consists of due proportion
of heat-giying, energiZing and bone pro-

GORMAN IS IN THE HARNESS
Representative Underwood Arrives In
New York and Offers Services to
ommittee-Judge Par
ker Greatly Pleased.

Washington, September 21.-(Special)-
The nomination of Herrick and Harrison
today in New York has doomed demo-
cratic stock away up the scale. Con-
servative democrats in Washington be-
lieve that New York may now be count
ed in the democratic columns with as
much certainty as anything political can
be.
The degree of harmony shown at Sara
toga is best illustrated by the fact that
David B. Hill usually an unrelenting
foe, placed in nomination Judge Herrick,
who has been one of his bitterest polit-
ical enemies.
Francis Burton Harrison is the son of
tie late private secretary and biogra-
pher of Jefferson Davis. While a protege
of Tammany he represents the better
element in that organization. He is a
clean, intelligent man of pronounced
personal magnetism.
The moral effect of the chances of
New York going democratic is expected
to be marked. "As New York goes, so
goes the country" is a slogan that is
expected to bring out the great band
wagon" vote of the country for democ-
racy.

SECRETARY OF EPISCOPAL BOARD
OF MISSIONS is MADE BISHOP
OF KENTucKY-oPPosED BY
DR.. MANNING.

Louisville, Ky, September M.-The Rev.
Arthur S. Lloyd of New York. secretary
of the Episcopal board of missions, was
today elected bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of kentucky by the di-
ocesan council.
An election was made on the sixteenth
ballot. DIR. Lloyds opponent was the
Rev w. 7. Manning. ID. D., vicar Of St.
Agnes chapel. New York. The number
of ballots taken was largely caused by
the rule requiring that the successful
c1rlidate must have a majority of the
clergy and majority of the laymen
voting separately The name of DR.. Man
ming was withdrawn after the fifteenth
ballot, and DR.. Lloyds election was made
unanimous. The name Of the Rev. Ir.
Mccormick of Grand Rapids, who had
been mentioned for the blshopric' was
not presented before the council.
1t Is not definitely known whether DR..
Lloyd will accept the bishopric, but a
majority of the council believe he Will
respond favorably to the call. The va
cancy was made by the death of Bishop
Thomas u. Dudley.

EXPLOSION OF
DYNAMITE WRECKS CAR
Nanged Bodies of Passengers on Outgoing Boston Street Car
Are Strewn Over the Ground-Box of Awful ExpIo-
sve Fell on Track from an Express Wagon

It is thought the car struck a charge
of dynamite left on the track. The
front dashboard of the car was hurled
m )re tran fifty feet
The immediate vicinity presented fear
full spectacle. The ground was strewn
with legs. arms and other portions of hui
man bodies.
So great was the force of the explosion
that two men standing in the door of a
store fifty feet away were severely injured
by flying pieces, while every window
within a radius of quarter of a mile
was broken.
The car contained mostly working men
on their way to their homes in this city.
When rescuers reached the scene OF the
accident the sight was appalling. The
ground was covered with torn and man
gled bodies of the dead and writhing
forms of the injured.
The police announce that the cause or
| the wreck was the striking of a nifty
pound box of dynamite which had fallen
from an express wagon just ahead of the
car. The express wagon was driven by
| Roy Fenton, who discovered that the box
| had dropped off and rushed back to take
| 1t off the track, but before he got within
a hundred yards of the box the car came
along and was blown up.
Fenton was taken into custody by the
| police.

Russian Fleet Preparing
for a Sortie.

Whatever may be happening In the FAR
east there is little definite information
from any quarter. The armies in the vi
cinity of Mukden appear to be limited In
activity at present to feeling the posi-
tions of their adversaries.
It is supposed to be the plan of the
Japanese to possess themselves of the
passes of Da mountains before making
direct movement on Mukden. Strategic
and political considerations seem to make
it essential that General Kuropatkin
make stand there and prevent the town
from being made the winter headquarters
of the Japanese, while the lack of ade-
ouate facilities elsewhere for the housing
of troops during rigorous Manchurian
winter make 1t necessary that the Japan
ese bend all their energies to the cap
ture of that town.

.Jaos Must Capture Gap.

London, September 2.-During the
scarcity of news from Mukden attention
is again reverted to Port Arthur Ac-
cordlng to the Morning Posts Japanese
information, two of Kuropatkin's forts
the japanese are said to have occupied
in the vicinity of Shuishying, are Nant-
sal and Chankiatun, and their value TO
the besiegers consists in the former being
close to the Antsushan forts, and the
latter to he Dragon hill forts, the object
of the Japanese being to thrust pow
erful wedge in the gap between the east
ern and western fortifications through
which the railroad passes to Port Arthur
from the north.
Antshushan overlooks this gap, and
though the Japanese failed TO penetrate
it sufficiently in the assault of three
weeks ago the lnsistency with which
they returned TO the charge Is held to
prove that the taking of the gap Is es-

Berlin, September H.-A dispatch from
St. Petersburg to the Tageblatt, appa-
rently prompted by the Russian war de-
partment, puts the blame for General Or
lon's failure to hold the Yentai coal
mines equally on Viceroy Alexief and
General Orloff. The correspondent says:
"Alexieff detained Orloff on trivial pre-
texts so that he reached the mines at
noon on September l wholly uniformed
as to the situation. General Samsonom
transmitted to him General kuropatkin'
strict order to hold the mines at all cost.
but when Oroff heard the cannonading
in the direction of Sykwantun, he march
ed toward that place. leaving Samsonoff
to hold the mines.
"Kuroki fell on the left flank an hour
afterwards Orloff was not possessed OF
a single cavalryman. and was completely
surprised His troops was composed
manly of reservists who had been long
out of the service, were uncomfortable
and broke ground in the direction of
Yentai, instead of back to the mines.
General Kuropatkin personally led the
first Siberian corps to the support OF
the hard-pressed Samsonoff."

There were no political callers at Rose

the season. Fires were built in furnaces
at Judge Parkers home and in the lodge,
but the sudden drop of the temperature
did not deter Judge Parker from taking

night said to day that he is perfect

Both sides have been organizing ana
feel very much gratified at the condl-

Last Friday in Indiana l met the prom

mony prevails. On Sunday went to
French Lick Springs, where l met other
prominent democrats from Indiana and

gress and large number of democrats
from various parts of the state.
From reports received l am positive
that Illinois is excellent debatable ground.

who are much pleased with the outlook
In that state. The split in the republican
party in Wisconsin grows wider daily

in his honor made by the Albany dem

Congressman Francis Burton Harrison,

was calling on Judge Herrick at the time,
also made few remarks.
Judge Herrick after thanking the del

You will soon be called upon to pass
judgment upon my fitness for the great
office to which l have been nominated.
In doing so, bear in mind that have al
ways been my own master; that if elect
ed will be governor myself. Further
more, that l will be governor of and for
the people, and not for party, and will
to the utmost of my ability strive to
give the people an honest and efficient
administration.

Both Sides Are preparing.

st. Petersburg, September 22.-Q:22 a.
m)-There is another delay in the re-
ceipts of decisive news from the front.
The situation at Port Arthur remains a
blank, though it is felt that important
there.
The movements in the north are still
of a tentative and preparatory charac-
ter on both sides which have not yet
crystalized into definite clash of forces
at any one point A resumption of the
Japanese advance is now expected to oc-
cur at any day. 1t is the third week
since the fighting at Llao Yang, and the
Japanese have had time to transport re-
Inducements from Yinkow and bring up
sufficient men to the front to replace
their losses, but it is not improbable that
several days will intervene before the
armies come % close quarters.
The interval is being devoted on both
sides to feeling out the strength and dis
position of the opposing forces. The
Japanese probably will attempt to cross
the passages of the Da mountain range
running half way between the Hun and
the Taitse rivers.
Important for Japs.
The possession of this pass Is important
for the Japanese, as 1t will not only fa-
vor them to march northward, but also
screen the movements of their troops from
the prying gaze of Russian scouts.
1t is fully appreciated here that the
Japanese must try for the possession OF
Mukden. as otherwise 1t will be difficult
for them to provide the army with winter
quarters.
Lao Yang does not afford sufficient ac.
commodatons although many houses
there escaped destruction in the recent
battle. Movable huts are quite unsuitable
for the housing of Japanese owing to the
severity of the climate. The average win
ter temperature there is 40 degrees below
zero, and the cold is intensified by con
tinual winds and an almost entire absence
of snow
In spite Of this, however, tie campaign
probably will continue during the winter
IL the Japanese succeed In getting intf
Mukden. In this contingency General Ku-
ropatkin for various reasons will not like

turbed possession of this point, which If
