LAD PLAYS HlGHWAYMAN IN
BLACK BART STYLE
John Fellows Arrested on Complaint
of Paper Seller, Who Charges
Him with Stealing
81 Cents

John Fellows, aged IA years, of 1349
the city jail with the prospect of spend
ing years in a reformatory.
In true Black Bart style he held up
and robbed Freddie Meyers, aged 9
years, of 81 cents at Sixth and Hill
streets last night.
Thepvictim of the highwayman is a
newsboy and was on his way to his
home at 933 South Grand avenue, after
having disposed of his bundle Of af-
ternoon papers. and at Sixth and Hill
street he was accosted by Fellows,
who asked him in a gruff tone If he
had any money
IT amt got none," replied Meyers,
and not liking the attitude of the larg-
er boy he started to run.
Fellows stopped him and pressing the
point of a knife against his throat de-
manded that he give up his cash.
The little boy was plucky and twisted
out of the grasp of Fellows, but was
caught again and the knife again
pressed to his throat.
He struggled again and the two boys
rolled in the street. The big one came
up on top and sitting across the body
or mis- victim TOOK the money, all III
pennies, from his pockets, and then
let him up warning him to "skedaddle"
and say nothing about the robbery or
he would "bury the knife clean to his
gizzard next time.
The highwayman then ran, but Fred
die followed him until he met a po-
liceman and had Fellows arrested.
At the station Fellows stated that
the smaller boy had fallen into a hole
in the street and lost his money and
he had only picked 1t up to give 1t
back to him.
If Fellows is found guilty of the
charge against him he may be sent to
Whittier school until he has attained
his majority.

CJT. PETERSBURG, Sept. 5.-The cir

section of the press and pubic, the
latter being represented by the League
of Russian People.
The circular is virtually second ex-
communication of the aged writer.
The Znamia and other newspapers
condemn it unstintedly, and a scathing
criticism by the Novoe Vremya, which
usually Is q staunch supporter of the
government, furnished a criterion of
the temper of Russian society generally.

ors Of the provinces of Moscow, War
saw Saratov, Simhirsk, etc., have re-
sorted to the provisions of martial law
to veto the celebrations arranged by the
municipalities.
Furthermore the censorship of st.
Petersburg has prohibited the memorial
performance arranged for local
theater.
A telegram received here from Yas-
maya Poliana says that the influenza
and fever from which the count has
been suffering had disappeared and
that the Inflammation in his leg has
subsidized
In the last few days, however, the
count has become extremely weak and
greatly emaciated, and he is scarcely
able to speak But in spite of this his
mental vigor is not impaired.
Too III for Reception
The counts wife has issued an an
nouncement setting forth that even
her husbands relatives and closest
friends will not be received at Yasnaya
Poliana next Wednesday, because of
the patients weakness.
She has requested all newspapers
publishing commemorative articles of
the count to forward copies to the
Rumiantsoff Historical museum at
room.
The effort of the countess to prevent
the news of the bitterness excited by
his Jubilee from reaching her husband
have been fruitless. He insists upon
seeing all the newspapers and his grief
at the harsh sentiments expressed is
pathetic.

Wonderfully.

The up-to-date girl "currycombs"

shampoo, because the method is said
to have originated there.
With the Swedish system there are
no wet tresses, no danger of taking
lcold; but there is such thorough
manipulation and massage Of the scalp
THAT the circulation is wonderfully
stimulated. The first part of the treat
,ment is vigorous combing. This is
done with a kind of currycomb con.
sisting of a piece of leather, studded
with short, flexible metal teeth. slant
Ing sufficiently to prevent them from
scratching the scalp. This comb is
brought firmly through the hair again
and again, removing all dust and
dandruf from the scalp.
Next the hair is parted, and an alb
sorbent powder shaken in, whose mis-
sion is TO cleanse the hair and keep it
dry and fluffy. Then comes the brush
ing, which is most thoroughly done,
every little strand being held up and
freed of its dust and dandruff, and
brushed glossy and clean. A Russian
hogs hair brush with natural bristles
Is used Sometimes a tonic is rubbed
in. But the main thing is the manipu.
lation of the scalp, and the use of the
cleansing powder, which is said to
take the place of soap and water.

in HOURS OF SLEEP
RAVAoES OF THE DAYTIME ARE
CORRECTED.
Proper Rest and a Little Common
Sense Care VIII Enable Any One
to Acquire and Maintain
Clear Complexion.

There is absolutely no need OF a
woman looking worn and dragged
after being up late If proper rest is
taken, and this requires practically
no extra time and little effort. for the
simple remedies, as it were, that will
rest nerves and body so that sleep
will be natural and soothing are easy
TO apply
A persons eyes are apt to feel hot
and tired after long day and evening
spent in using them, part of the time
amid artificial light. They more or
less affect the head, and not infre-
quently headaches come entirely from
eye strain. Nerves that have been
stimulated and stretched must be re-
laNed If there is to be any restful
sleep, and should a heavy and indiges-
tible dinner have been part of the
evenings entertainment added treat
ment is necessary.
AS digestion is the most important
of all, the proper way of insuring it
should be decided. A woman who
dimes out a great deal and who has
preserved her complexion marvellous
ly through many seasons makes 1t a
point always TO drink a glass of
aperient water before going to bed
after she has had rich dinner. By
this means, she declares. there is not
the slightest danger of headache, for

ment, after long evening, to take a
tub before getting into bed The
water should be drawn as hot as can
be endured without discomfort. There
will be no danger of taking cold. for
one should get into bed Immediately
afterward. Not more than five min.
utes extra will be consumed in taking
this most refreshing bath, for the tub
can be filling while one is undressing,
and the soothing effect of immersion
in hot water more than repays any
trouble. There should be an eve
lotion and some soft old muslin near
the bed, where it can be readily APP
piled. No simple eye tonic is better
than five per cent. solution of boracic
acid in which few drops of camphor
water have been added II desired.
Two little pads of muslin should be
soaked in this, and when quite wet
laid over both eyes. The moisture
causes them TO adhere, and they will
remain on for an hour or more. When
dryness causes them to drop off 1t is
very wise precaution II one awakes
to wet them again, for by this means
there will be no heaviness of the lids
the next day, and the eyes will feel no
fatigue.
If, instead of having been to a din.
ner, one is going late to bed after a
fast of some hours, it is the greatest
possible mistake not to take some
kind of nourishment first. To sleep
when the stomach is entirely empty
Is quite impossible. and something
easy of digestion should be taken.
Warm milk, slightly salted, is most
beneficial. but If one Is so situated
that anything hot is impossible to get,
some substitute must be taken. Cold
milk should be avoided, as at a low
temperature 1t is difficult of digestion

agrees is good; also fruit, biscuits or
