HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate 6 Per-

 Many people believe that blonde or light hair denotes affection and dark hair constancy. A person without hair is not devoid of character: far from 1t. The disposition of the average bald headed man Is to show such solicitude for the welfare of others, that he neg Iects himself. A germ causes badness. Professor Sabouraud. of Paris, France, innoculated a rabbit with Dandrun germs, causing it to become totally bald in i've weeks time. To rid the scalp of these dangerous germs it is neces- sary to apply Newbro's Herpicide.

twenty.four hours who would execute
Mary Rogers according TO the sem
tence imposed upon her.
Personally, put no faith in the
confession made by Leon Perham al
the eleventh hour. Perham, by his
confession. Is liar, and why should
he be believed now more than at the
trial; moreover, his testimony, as
given at the trial, was corroborated
by other evidence.
81 consider that the chief execu.
tive Of this State is elected to his
office to execute and not to defy the
expressed will Of the courts laws and
the Legislature of Vermont. In the
event that l should refuse to sign a

not doubt but that | shall be greeted

outside the confines of this State,
but ii would matter little to me.

and women of Vermont is regarding

that shall make at three o'clock to

by either prejudice. or passion, ant
will be according to my interpreta
tion of justice. the laws of the State
and my own conscience.
1.-THE contention was made that the
death sentence of Isabella w. Marsl
was committed TO life Imprisonment
and therefore Mary Rogers shoult
escape hanging. There was a mis-
take made in committing the sen
tence of Mrs. Marsh when the pen
atty on the statute books said he
sentence was death. Does one wronl
justify another?"
