SUE FOR DEAD MANS FEET
Members Smashed to Pieces in Loco
motive Works, But Relatives
Want Them Anyhow.

Philadelphia = Relatives Of An
thony Labowski, who was killed at
the Baldwin locomotive works recent
~ have delayed burial OF his body
pending an action against the Bald
win works for the recovery of Lab
owski's feet, which were severed in the
accident that cost the man his life.
With this object in view the dead
mans family has retained former
Judge Maxwell Stevenson as counsel,
who will institute legal proceedings
to recover the feet, so that the body
in Its entirety may be given proper
burial.
When the relatives went to the un-
dertaker's place to arrange for the
funeral they were Mortified to learn
that the body was footless. Burke
went to the Baldwin locomotive works
to obtain the missing feet, but the SUI
perintendent told him that the feet
had evidently been hopelessly crushed,
as hey had not been found.
The relatives OF the dead man Inn
mediately became Indignant at the
treatment accorded them at the loco-
motive works. They agreed to post
pone the funeral indefinitely until the
feet are recovered and placed In the
coffin.

70 RESTORE NATIVES, HAIR
People of Entire Island ot Madagascar
Going Bsid als .hipioad of
Tonic Is Sent.

New York.-A horrid thing has hap.
pened in Madagascar. Several millions
of people are becoming bald, accord
ing to Capt. Peter Wilbertorce, who
has just arrived in New York and,
sailed away again with so gross of bot,
ties Of hair tonic OF popular brand.
The inventor of this hair wash does
not pretend it will remedy all bald
ness. There are some cases, as In
woolly-headed, or in kinky- haired peo-,
pie. to which 1t is not intended to APP
ply. But the natives Of Madagascar
think it is all right, beca, Sc a Mala-
gasy, by the name of Antambahoaka,
who was completely bald, got bottle
of this hair wash from Cape Town
doctor and grew a Respondent hirsute
adornment which was straight and
silky. Before that 1t had been short,
and ktRky.
According to Capt. Wherefore. who
denies that he is related to the VIII
berforce of anti-slavery fame, the,
trouble In Madagascar is the result of
fever.
DR.. e. B. Jenkins, of Cape Town,
happened to touch at Madagascar in a
steamer. and having bottle of the
American hair wash offered It In q
jocular spirit to Antambahoaka of the
Betsimiserakas tribe. At that time the
fever had taken away all his wool. The
American hair wash not only grew his
hair again, but, in miraculous fash
ion, grew 1t straight. Today-as the
advertisement probably will read in a
few Observation-Disclosures walks the
streets OF the Malagasy capital with a
cane and high collar, the cynosure OF
the eyes of all Malagasy maids, to
whom straight hair is a thing OF Joy
forever.
One bottle of American hair wash Is
not enough, however, to check the dis
ease, says Capt Wilberforce, and there
are millions In the hair wash business
for the pioneers Of an American In
vasion OF the far east.

FATE OF EUROPEAN BISON.
Revolutions in Russia Cause De-
crease in Number of These
Animals.

An Interesting side effect of the re-
bellion and perhaps revolution OF
which we read In Russia is the possible
speedy extinction Of species Of ami.
NAL which for many years has been
jealousy protected by the car. In
times of national peace and content,
ment the European bison lives in the
imperial forests OF Lithuania, presuma-
bly, unmolested; but whenever there ia
q rising in Poland and the rebels take
to the woods they use this herd Of
bison as part Of their commissary
and kill them for beef.
For many years. says Forest and
Stream, there has been gradual less
ening in numbers Of this herd, which
by many biologists Is thought to be
due to inbresdinR yet there are others
who believe that the decrease in this
protected herd, which so years ago
numbered nearly 1900 and which lives
wild in its native habitat, is too rapid
to be accounted Tor solely by inbreed-
ing, and must be due to destruction by
man, Notwithstanding the efforts made
b. the authorities to protect them.
Statistics of the Bielowitza herd in
Grodno show that between 1888 and
1857 these bison increased from 76S to
1898, but from this time on the de-
crease has been constant until in 1892
the herd numbered less than 500.

Pa got UP on the tub that the
elephants stand on, and said that
1T was true what the manager said
about wild west show, and that he
was proud Of the confidence reposed in
him. He should be glad to take an ex-
petition and go out into the far west
and beard the wild west Indian in his
tspee and engage Indians by the hun
bred to come with us next year. He
would pierce the wilderness of the west

while we had this year had some at
tempts at a wild west department In
bur show, 1t was only tame imita-
ton Of what we would have next year,
and he wanted them all to pray for
him, that he might come out OF the
wild far west without being killed. He
said he should take Hennery along
with him as a mascot, and If the worst
came he could trade me to an Indian
tribe for ponies, or leave me as hos

that nothing had occurred during the

and while he felt that he had been
considered an intsrloper in the pro-
fession at first, he had found that ev-
erybody looked upon him later in the
season as the main guy in the show.

Tho mud is something we never
