Pandemonium reigned for
awhile about s O'Clock this morn
ing at a house on Ferry av. near
Bernard st. when Patrolmen Shan
non and Lister raided the place
and dislodged four disorderly men
who were living with French
women. AS the officers knocked
on the doors and ordered the in
mates to open up John Jurand, a
Frenchman. leaped half clad from
a window and sped away, with
Tom Lister after him. Before the
fleeing Frenchman would stop
Lister had to pull his gun and
threaten TO shoot The French
man, on glancing behind, saw the
burly officer with drawn revolver
and at once stopped, crying, Don't
shoot" In the meantime, Bill
Shannon had corraled the other
three-John Nogus, a Frenchman,
and Fred Tremble and H. B.
Collins, negroes.
The patrol wagon brought the
four to the station, where the
Frenchmen put up $50 bonds each
and the negroes, on default of
bonds, were incarcerated.

Enrico Caruso, the Italian tenor
whose voice is valued at about
$1,000 per minute. appeared for
hearing in police court yesterday
on the charge of pinching and
otherwise annoying Mrs. Anna
Graham in the menagerie at Cen
tral park. Mrs. Graham was not
present, but Detective Cain, who
made the arrest, took the place of
the prosecuting witness, claiming
that he saw the misdemeanOr.
Caruso denied all the charges and
refused to answer in English,
claiming he could not speak the
tongue. This is believed to be u
subterfuge designed to discredit
the allegation that he made OBJ

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Now that
the smoke of election has cleared
up, District Attorney jerome finds
time to press the criminal cases

ter his arrest charged with having
misapplied the funds of the New
York Life Insurance Co. Judge
Greenbaum held that there had
been no intent of fraud.
There are six indictments
against DR., Gillett. Five are for
forgery in the third degree, for
making false entries In the COM
panys books to conceal the diver
sion of funds. The sixth is for
perjury, which, it Is alleged, he
committed when a witness before
the grand jury.
There are two indictments
against Granniss, who, by the way,
is a heavy aristocrat of the Norris
town set and was Richard A. Nc
Curdy's closest personal friend.
One indictment is for forgery in

Getting Bald

Badness is both a local and a
constitutional ailment. If you ex-
pect to do anything with it, you
should take our COMPOUND
SARSAPARILLA to build up the
general health, for badness is due
to low vitality, and use Burnham's
HAIR TONIC to improve the
Scalp. Washing the head in salt
water once week also helps.
Shampooing should not be oftener
than fortnightly. TAR SOAP is
the best for shampooing. Don't
think that curing badness is easy:
it isn't--lt is very hard. but it can
be done. If you are interested
come and talk it over with us.
