ALBANY, March 7I.-Gov. Higgins con-
ferred to-day at the Executive Chamber
with william Z. Curtis Of the New York
Adueduct Commission and Prof. Burr, the
consulting engineer Of that Commission
on the New York water question. After
ward the Governor said that they had
discussed the various measures, and that
there would probably be some amend
ments made to the State Water Commission
bill. These amendments would DO offered
with the object Of defining the Commits
sion's duties a little more definitely, and
In that way facilitating the work Of getting
an additional water supply for New York
With reference to the statement that
New York proposed 10 take half Of
Ulster county, az claimed by some Of the
Obstetrics, the Governor said he had gone
over the maps with Msasrs Burr and Curtis,
and that they had found that the city pro-
posed 20 take only 10 square miles Of the
county's territory. The part 20 DO taken
would verge on q few little hAmlets, but no
place Of importance.
MoaGra. Burr and Curtis were In favor
Of the Mcclellan bill, but were not opposed
10 the State Commission bill, except that
they feared that It might cause little
delay.

ttIide on the taxation measures, the Gov
Srnor said he had not. He thought that
the situation with reference to them was

Scalp Massage.
BY MADAME DE CANTER.

BY MADAME DE CANTER.
Now is the appointed time to give
some special attention to the scalp
where the hair growth is sluggish or
interrupted. In the spring of the year
all growing things take on new activi-
ty, and the hair, which is an absolute
vegetable growth, is no exception to
the rule. Most hair grows twice as
fast during the spring and summer as
in the winter months, and if a good
start is given now scant or short locks
may be coaxed into quite respectable
effort which will continue during all
the warm weather. The first step in
this stimulation, like the first step in
all things pertaining to the health Of
the body, is bathing. The head should
be shampooed thoroughly and vigor-
ously once a week for a gentleman; a
lady should shampoo her hair every
two or three weeks. 1t depends on the
hair-if it gets oily, shampoo often.
Use ivory or CASTLE soap. Egg sham
poo is fine for dry hair. The scalp must
be rubbed with the finger tips until it
feels in glow all over, especially
about the crown end temples, which
are the first places to show signs OF
badness. After the rubbing, which
should be accomplished while the head
is wet, after the manner of washing
in fact, the hair should be shaken
loosely so that it will dry quickly and
should be treated to an air bath, that
is, allowed to blow in fresh air and
breeze and sunshine, and brush until
it is dry. After this drying, if there is
need of artificial stimulation, use Mad.
anne. ]. De Canter's Marquise Hair
Tonic which should be rubbed into the
roots-only a very little-and the rub
bling should be brisk enough to make
the scalp smart and Jingle. Only by
this means may the blood be called to
the surface and it is the blood which
provides nourishment for the hair fol-
licles, makes them grow and keeps
them healthy. In most cases, however,
the scalp massage will be sufficient
without any tonic. If tonic is used il
April and May it will insure an added
growth during the spring and summer

L. H. Waddle Dead.

Limestone, Tenn, Feb. 21.-On last
Wednesday evening Landon Haynes
Waddell died quite suddenly. His
death was apparently caused by stroke
of apoplexy. His remains were laid to
rest in the historic old burying ground
of Old Salem Church with the ashes of
pioneers of East Tennessee, and the
heroes of Kings Mountain. Mr.. Wad-
dell was a trustee of Washington Col
lege and deacon of Old Salem Church.
The father of the deceased was an ar
dent Democrat and great admirer of
Landed g. Haynes, and hence named
his son for that great statesman. In
after years when Haynes was making q
race on an electoral ticket, he was en-
tertaine at the Waddell home. When
the youngster came into the house and
was asked his name, hereplied; clan

There are several other bills affecting
southern federal courts now pending,
but upon none of these are the mem.
bers from the states concerned agreed.
One of these is for new Judge for
Tennessee. Representative Brownlow's
bill seemed to have gained some force
from the understanding that Judge
Clark was complaining of too much
work.
Several members from Tennessee
have discouraged this bill, and it has
