Yellow Streaks in White Hair.
Will you please tell me the way to
care for white hair. My mothers hair
Is white, but at times it shows family
yellow streaks. If you can tell me how
she can keep it a nice even color 1 will
thank you very much.
DAUGHTER.
Wash the hair just as often as the
streaks ppear with warm water and
white CASTLE soap, using plenty of the
latter. Rinse well, and to the last rims
ing water add O drop of ordinary
laundry blue. This will have the same
effect of bleaching the white hair as it
has on linen garments, giving that
lovely white to hair so much admired.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE
And MotAer.in.Iaw and 9'hea Shoots
Himself.

Just at the expiration Of the
twelve months pledge ne had given
the court not to nlolest his wife,
Major H. G. Coates Phillips, one of
the heroes Of Spion Kop, rushed in
10 the home of his wife in the vii
lage Of Crookham, England, Thurs
day, and, wounding two visitors and
leaving his beautiful wife in the be-
Lief that he had murdered her, end
ed his life with two revolver balls
fred at close range. His death
took place in the presence Of his
twelve-year-old daughter.
1t was the wife's good fortune to
faint at the first shot fire at her,
which just grazed her head. Her
falnting saved her life. The wound
ed visitors are Mrs. Phillips mother,
Mrs. Lucena, who was visiting her
daughter a London solicitor, who
had hurried to the village to give
mis- wife legal advice. Mrs. Lucena
probably will die Of her wound.
Mrs. Phillips divorced her hus-
band in 1906 Cd the ground Of mis-.
conduct while in South Africa, and
in the course of the hearing of the
case last December, Major
Major Phillips entered her home and
attempted suicide with gas. After
ward on the last day IF 1907, he
gave his ledge to the court not to

brought him the largest receipts OF

TWO MEN KILLED
A Fatal Explosion Occurs in Steel
Plant.

Plant.
Two men were killed end thirteen
injured as result Of an explosion IN
converter No. 3, Of the Egar-Thomp-
son plant of the United States Steel
corporation at North Braddock, Pa,
Thursday. Six Of the Injured were
Americans and the others Slavs.
No official statement as to the
cause of the explosion has been made
but the old converter men say the
cause can hardly be other than by
some molten metal shifting through
the soapstone lining of the convert
sr and coming in contact with the
steel sheathing which perhaps was
damp.
When the explosion occurred the
bottom of the converter dropped
out, throwing fifteen tons Of molten
metal into a pit where fifteen men
we're working at ladels. The force
of the explosion blew 3 sheet iron
coof off the converter a mile and
arused two walls to collapse.

yETERAN OPERATOR DEAD
Joseph W. Hates, Who Served the
Coufederacy Well.

A dispatch from Richmond, Va,
says Joseph ". Hates. for many
years the most prominent telegraph
operator in Virginia and perhaps in
the entire South, passed away Thurs
day night at Manchester. He was at
one time superintendent of the South
ern district of the Western Union
company at Richmond and later gen,
eral superintendent Of the: Postal
Telegraph-Caole company, with
headquarters in this city.
Mr.. Hates was in charge OF the Of
flee at Manassas, Va, during the
battles of Blackburn's Ford and Man
assas and for several weeks did the
work of the Office by himself. 1t was
he that transmitted the famous mes,
sage from President Jefferson pavl:
to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston at Win
chester, ordering that officer to make
q junction with Gen. Beauregard al
Manassas.
In the fall of 1861 ne was agar
transferred to Richmond and in the
spring of 1852 to Columbus, KY;
where he was operator at the head
quarters of Gems. Polk and Beaure
gard.

stoicism.
The writer on a ride a day or two
since saw the collector with the
mule that had been used all the SUM
mer hitched to the buggy to be TAX
en- away and then he went into q field
where the only COW OF the family
vas staked out and drove that away.
The negro woman and half dozen
children were on the porch Of the
little cabin to see them driven away
and there was no apparent feeling
Of regret.
There need be none, as they had
paid only small part Of the pur-
chase price and they had had the
use of the animals all through the
summer. In this case the man OF
the family had been at work for the
J. H. Blake Lumber company all
summer and earned s6 week and
there was no reason why he should
not have paid for the animals, ex-
cept the lack Of thrift and. calcula-
ton that marks the entire race.
Last winier there was call for q
repeal of the lien and chattel mort
gage laws of South Corolina and
the matter is sure to come up again
in the next session Of the legislature:
| Last winter it was the question Of
| the doing away with the old State
dispensary that occupied the time OF
the legislature, which must by Law,
adjourn at given time.
All the low country of South Car.

has become disguised with the! work
ing of the law and are solid for the
repeal, while the up country, where
merchants have to deal with thai
poor white class. demands that it be
left on the statute books.
Of the seven merchants doing bus,
mess in Rowesyille all but two have
ceased to sell goods under chatte

time is not far distant when The ne

Flock of Birds Attacks japanese ane
His Horse.

A japanese farmer, one Of the
many who have leased much land
around Russellville, Ore, on the
Base line road, had a most thrilling
adventure with a flock Of white
swans last week. He was out plow-
ing in his field, so E. N. Emery
saws, when suddenly several hun
dred swans made their appearance.
At first he paid no attention, but
they soon began circling close down
on him. Then they made a sudden
sweep and nearly knocked him
down.
The swans renewed their attack
on the japanese with more vigor
than ever. They dashed at him
and struck him in passing from all
directions, He sought to drive
them off by swinging his hat but this
had no effect. He then ran to the
nearest fence, followed by part OF
the flock, and Selling a rail, defend
ed himself; but still the swans at:
tackled him until he had knocked
down several.
The horse which the japanese
had left hitched to the plow was al:
so attacked by more than score OF
the angry birds. The animal did
the best he could to defend himself
with his heels and teeth while his
owner was welding the rail at his
assailants. Suddenl y the whole
flock by an impulse took flight,
leaving the japanese master Of the
battlefield
1T was the most remarkable and
comical fight ever witnessed, " re-
marked Mr.. Emery. The japanese
certainly had his hands full. Part
Of the time he was half-covered by
the swans. He fought with the
same determination that his com
rades fought the Russians. The
ground around where the fight took
place was strewn with feathers.

Another Burglar Slain While
Breaking in a Store.

ement Inspector, Is Shot Leaning
from Window.

A burglar shot and killed George
H. Fisher, Newark's tenement house
Inspector, Thursday morning at the
Fisher home, No. ITO Congress street,
Newark, N. J. At the time Of his
death Mr.. Fisher was leaning out Of
a window shouting for the police.
At the same hour in Williamsburg,
David Jafe. q bird dealer at No. LAG
Messerole street, shot and killed a
burglar who had forced an entrance
to his home.
Mr.. Fisher, with his wife and their
young son and daughter had watch
ed the old year out and the new year
in. Soon after 3 o'clock in the morn
ing Mrs. Fisher was awakened by the
sound of breaking glass. She arous-
ed her husband. and they looked out
of the window. They saw two men
in the rear Of Feindt's store, adjoin-
ing their home, trying to open win
dow.
MIR. Fisher went to the window,
raised it and shouted ''Policep' In
stantly one Of the men below the
window fired the bullet going through
Mr.. Fishers head. He fell across
the window sill his head and should
ers outside.
Mrs. Fisher screamed, and the shot
awakened the two children who ran
into the room. The mother, SON and
daughter drew the body back into
the room and laid it on the floor. DR..
Frank Devlin. who was called, said
that death had been instantaneous.
The only clue that the police have
was given by q woman who lives
about a block away from the Fisher
house. She said she was with her sick
child when she heard the shot and
screams. She looked out Of the win
dow and saw the men running along
Congress street toward Jefferson.
They turned the corner and disap-
peared.
The man shot by Mr., Jafe in VIII
liamsburg has not yet been identifl-
ed, but the police are holding a man
whom they believe to have been I'M
plicated in the attempted burglary.
Mr.. Jaffe and his brother, Morris,
were asleep in the store and were
awakened by someone trying to open
the door. Several times attempts
have been made to rob the store, and
Mr.. Jafe was certain this was anoth-
ca. He drew revolver from under
his pillow and fired just as the door
swung open.
The bullet struck the intruder in
the forehead and he fell dead. Anoth-
er man who was with him ran to-
wards Graham avenue. Patrolman
Dahler of the Stagg street station,
turning into Meserole street from
Graham avenue, saw man running
and arrested him. The man said he
was running for car, but the po-
liceman took him to the station.
There he said he was Thomas Bay
ne. Of No. 14l Leonard street, but
refused any other information. He
was held without bail on,a charge Of
burglary. pending an investigation:
DR.. Constantine, Of st. GATHERINGS
Hospital, who saw the body Of the
dead man, said he had been killed
instantly.
Mr.. Jaffe was charged with homi-
eide and was released on parole.

QUEER ACCIDENT.
Blow from a Stove Litter Caused |
an Explosion.

Mrs. Josephine Cominsky, IS years
old. of No. II Pearsall street, Long
Island City, became angry Thurs
day night with Caster Gussus, who
boards with her, and and struck him
on the SIDE with an iron stove litter.
Immediately there was loud report
and Gussus fell to the floor scEe-m-
ing with pain.
Mrs. Cominsky called an ambu-
lance from St. Johns hospital. The
surgeon found that, Mrs. Cominsky's
blow had exploded a cartridge that
Gussus had carried in his pocket,
and the bullet, striking against a
twenty-five cent piece, had driven
the coin partly in his side.
The hospital doctors cut out the
coin and Gussus will recover. The
coin undoubtedly saved the man S
life. Mrs. Corinsky was not arrest
ed, as Gussus corroborated her story
of the accident.

WILL RIDE CHEAPER.
The Southern Railway Will Reduce
its Passenger Rates.
Makes This Concession Of It's Own
Volition and in Appreciation OF
South Carolina's Kindness.

South Carolina will get the bere-
fit, so far as the Southern Railway is
concerned, of the reduction in rates
made by Legislative enactment in
other States of the South, but with
out the turmoil of Legislative aglta-
ton and without the expense Of pro-
longed litigation.
The Columbia correspondent Of the
News and Courier says President W,
W. Finley, Of the Southern Railway,
at a conference in the Governors Of
fee Friday stated that on April l,
1908, the Southern Railway would
put into effect in South Carolina the
following rates.
For straight tickets, 2 l-2 cents
per mile.
For family mileage books, 2 IA
cents per mile.
For /, 1,OOO-mile and 2,000-mile mile
age books, 2 cents per mile.
The conference was attended oy
Governor Ansel, Attorney General
Lyon, Chairman Caughman, Of the
railroad commission, and Commis-
sioners Sullivan and Earle on the part
of the State, and by President Finley,
Vice President Culp, General Coun-
sci Thorn and Division Counsel Ab-
ney on the part of the Southern Rail
way. The conference was held IN the
Office of the Governor and was open,
being attended by the newspaper
men.
Mr.. Finley, in a conversational
way, put the proposition of the
Southern before the Governor, ex-
planning as he went along the rea-
sons for the different rates and the
reasons governing the railroad IN
making this proposition. lie ex-
plained that the Southern On ac-
count of rae fairness with which
South Carolina had treated the rail-
roads had a disposition to give the
State the benefit of the reduced
rates, and consequently the South
ern intends, without compulslon, to
put into effect the rates which 1t
has proposed as a compromise IN
North Carolina. Georgia and Ala
bama. He felt assured that the
agreement entered into would be
made effective in these States, aud
perhaps in Virginia also. The same
treatment promised South Carolina
would be given Tennessee, which
has also been liberal in the matter OF
legislation. :.
The 2 IL cents rate will apply to
all Interstate passenger business
on straight fares. The 2 IA cents
rate for family mileage books, which
contain the name Of the head OF the
family will cover books for 500 miles:
entailing a minimum expenditure OF
Sl1-25
The 2-cent rate for mileage books
of 1000 and 1000 miles relates to
individual mileage books and also to
what are termed mercantile books,
good for members Of a firm or bus
mess concern up to five individuals,
the names of each Of whom shall
