In the opinion of Mr.. Spencer, the

not furnish protection to conscientious

necessarily visits punishment upon the

were the words spoken by George Denis,
who has returned from the international
border, where he has been on combined
fur-buying and land-seeking trip.
II saw no white trappers on this trip"
said Mr.. Denis. They were all Indians or
breeds. 1 got some fox. marten, mink and
muskrat furS. Otter and beaver, you know,
are barred 1t is against the law to handle
these furs in Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana and Manitoba. There are some
beaver and otter yet In northern Minnesota,
but they are no longer plentiful. l got
few silver gray fox skins on this trip, and
heard of two black fox skins that had been
sold up north this winter. The blacks are
very scarce and are quoted from $50 up,
but there are some skins that bring as high
as $1,000. 1t all depends upon the quality
of the fur. / shall soon leave on fur
buying trip 500 miles north of Winnipeg,
beyond the Porcupine hills. There I will
be at liberty to buy beaver and otter a1

The Police Census.

Major Sylvester this morning stated that
he had received returns from several pre-
cincts of the police census, and that all
would be in during the next few days. The
report of the police of the first precinct
showed that there were II, 191 persons in
that district this against 12.751 in 1897. The
second precinct showed 39,074, against IS, $50
in 1897. The report of the fourth precinct
showed an increase, the figures being "a pa
against 30, 1877 in 1897. The sixth precinct
showed a population of 24.0O7 this year,
against 23127 at the last census. Major
Sylvester says that the police in South
Washington found forty-eight children who
were not attending school, eighteen of these
being white. The reasons given for their
non-attendance were incorrigiblity, had no
suitable clothing, and some had to nurse
smaller children. Twenty-one Chinese and
two japanese were also found. Major Syl-
vester hopes to get the reports in as soon
as possible SO as to give the census to the
clerks at headquarters, in order that the
auditing may be completed.

Why We Are Bald.
2le 9Th .
'e20 nj,

From the st. Louis Republic.
A scientific gentleman writing in the In
ternational Quarterly says that the increas-
ing badness of men might seem TO indicate
that this natural covering of the head was
destined ultimately to disappear Savages,
he says, show no such tendency to lose their
hair as the men of our own race, and, there
fore, the loss cannot be accounted for as the
result of either natural or sexual selection.
The German. of course, finds germ at the
root of the hair, or, as 1t were, at the root
of the evil; but our scientist reasons that If
germs were the only cause of badness wom-
en- would probably be equally affected by 1t.
Having carried thus far and interested
us exceedingly, the scientist suddenly drops
his ratiocina tons, throws up both hands, so
to speak, and leaves us to supply the an
swer for ourselves. Why are we bald and
why the women not? is a question that
challenges thought and compels speculation.
1t used to be the careless answer of some of
us that we got that way from sitting in
damp churches, but 1t became obvious that
more women did that than men, although
the women did wear their hats-a fact by
which scoffers accounted for the superior
numbers of women at services, and argued,
too, incidentally, that had women been de-
MED the privilege of exhibiting their mil
linery and compelled to uncover they also
would have been baldheaded. The damp
church theory has given way to others
seemingly Tdtlolldl. Sle 10 lIIdl Woiii-
ems deliberately ornate spring hats and the
economic tragedies incident thereto are the
cause of their husbands badness, the lat
ter suffering vicariously.
But a better explanation is that men have
to solve political problems and women do
not, except in few states, and in these
1t is confidently expected that badness VIII
soon prevail among the lady suffragists. To
be called upon to choose between tickets
and candidates and principles and doctrines
every few months and to maintain the gov
eminent against the grafters is certainly
heavy responsibility.

Davis of the third precinct station saw
Pierre in his automobile going up around

of about twenty-five miles an hour. The
officer hauled up the automobile driver
and took him to the station When the
case came up in the Police Court before
Judge Kmball this morning the judge
was much impressed with the speed of
twenty-five miles an hour. In accordance
with his avowed policy of insisting that
autoists keep within the law and of i'm
posing heavy per llties in the cases of
