LAST HAMILTON TREE
Historic New York Landmark Laid
Low.

IOWs
New York, May 5.-Alexander Ham
ilton's famous group Of thirteen trees
has ceased to exist The only one
that has been standing for some time
was felled last week. and, with their
destruction, has passed away one
more of New York's historic land
marks. The trees stood In an open
plot of ground that will soon be util-
lied for buildings facing Convent ave-
nue., between One Hundred and Forty
second and One Hundred and Forty
third streets. The boys of the neigh
borhood were busy yesterday hacking
off pieces OF the last Hamilton tree
and offering them to passers-by as
souvenirs at prices ranging from ten
to twenty-five cents.
Several older residents who have
viewed the trees with veneration for
the last quarter of century have pro.
cured pieces large enough to be made
into walking sticks. Whether Hamil-
ton planted the trees or not Is much
mooted question. In the lime-light OF
recent historical investigation this has
been denied. They did, however.
stand on Hamilton's country estate.
known as The Grange. and the old
Hamilton residence Is still standing.

The Burgess Stock company which
comes to the Shelton Opera House
for three nights and two matinees,
beginning Thanksgiving afternoon
is spoken of as follows by recent
issue of the Galveston News:
Never was a company better equip
ped for the presentation OF high-class
productions of the very latest and
best plays than is the Robert Burgess
Stock company that is booked to APP
pear at the Grand opera house for a
four-nights engagement next week
beginning with monster Sunday
matinee. This organization of players
has just closed a 10-weeks success
full run at the leading theatre of San
Antonio where they played to
standing room only" business at
each performances The company was
specially organized in New York
City with special view to stock
work and each member fully demon
strated his or her ability and the re-
suit was a series of artistic and fl
nancial successes
The opening play ia Galveston
will be the one that was used as a
vehicle by James J Corbett last sea-
son and is one of the best playing
attractions on the road, viz. Pals. +"
The play is without a doubt one of
the best drawing cards that has ever
been over this circuit-and its pro-
duction Sunday by the Burgess COM
pany Will be looked forward to with
much pleasure.
Edgar Joes and Hal Mordaunt
will be seen in the opposite rolls of
the college Chums" and in the last
act of the play these actors will in
troduce one of the most original and
realistic stage fights ever attempted
on any stage. They go at it hammer
and tongs and they incidentally
break up everything in sight This
fight is the acme of sensationalism
and ones hair is standing on end till
the final curtain is reached.
Miss Jane Salisbury, the leading
lady, has never been seen in this city
before, and her beauty and talents
will be a treat to our amusement
seekers.
Miss Emma Pollock, the petite lit
tie creature who handles the engenue
and soubrette roles, is one of the
famous Pollock sisters, and her sing
ling and dancing numbers have been
admired by thousands from the At

TO his or her respective part and sur
passed the expectations Of the criti-
cal audience that packed the shelton
theatre to the door,
Tonight being the last night of
this company's stay in WaXahachie
they have selected one of their best
bills entitled An American Sailor"
The story of the play relates the
adventure of an American sailor
from the battleship Texas who has
gone ashore in Brazil The play
throughout is filled with striking
situations and thrilling climaxes.
The action taking place in Brazil
gives ample opportunity for beauti-
full costuming. The comedy that runs
through the bill is something above
the average The Specialties will all
be changed and for the closing of the
engagement more suitable bill
could not have been selected.

THANKSGIVING lARIDNs

year unless the governor returns to
Austin between now and Thursday,
which he is not likely to do. accord
inc to information obtained at the
executive department.
Judge William Blakeslee, mem
Der of the board or pardons, said
Yesterday there was a list OF about
ten applications for pardons for
Thanksgiving. and that the board
mas gone over the list carefully. and
has about decided to recommend ia
yorable action on these applications,
but the absence of the governor, who
is still recuperating at Mineral Wells
viii preclude final steps in the prem
ises.
AS it is near the Christmas holt
days, and Christmas pardons are
another annual custom. it is more
than likely that he Thanksgiving
list may be included in those pre-
sented to the governor for Christ
mas. Judge Blakeslee said that in
the list of about ten now before the
board, careful examination has been
made into each individual case, and
all recommended favorably are mer-
itorious. The ma jority of the appli-
ants are oid-time convicts that were
given fifty years or life term and
have served from 8 to 25 years in
prison and are now physically in
capacitated. The penitentiary physi-
clans have in nearly all the cases
recommended that paraons be grant
ed due to i'll health of the appli-
cants. One thing which is carefully
examined into by the board of par
dons before favorable recommended
ton is made is whether or not such
pardoned convict has any means OF
supporting himself after being liber-
ated and not to be a charge of the
state or county authorities

GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS.
Bald Headed People May Get New
Chance in Life,


In these days when youth is the

man his mark at thirty five and is
ready to retire at forty-five; when
business houses pension the man we
call middle aged rather than al
low his tagging influence to intrude
upon the commercial rush a bald
head is almost fatal to any man S
hopes. The following must therefore
prove interesting to peole who are
losing their hair or who are bald
Rcsorcin is one of the latest and
most effective germ killers discov-
cred by science, and in connection
with Beta Napthol, which is both
germicidal and antispetic, a combi-
nation is formed which DESTROYS the
germs which rob the hair OF its nu-
trtment. and also creates a clean and
healthy condition of the scalp, which
prevents the development OF new
germs.
Pilocarpin is we'll known agent
for restoring the hair 10 it's natural
color where the loss of color has
been due to disease of the scalp
Yet it is not coloring matter or
dye.
This combination of curatives
mixed with alcohol as a stimulant
perfects the most effective remedy
for hair and scalp troubles.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Ton
ic is chiefly composed of Resorcin
Beta Napthol and Pilocarpin. 1t
makes the scalp healthy, nourishes
the hair, stimulates the folcles
Where the head is already bare, it
enters the follicles, revitalizes the
roots, supplies nourishment and
stimulates new growth.
We want you to try a few bottles
of Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic, on our
personal guarantee that the trial will
not cost you penny If 1t does not
give you absolute satisfaction That's
proof Of our faith in this remedy and
ii should indisputably demonstrate
that we know what we are talking
about when we say that Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald
heads, except of course. where bald
ness has been of such long duration
that the roots OF the hair are entire
ly dead, the follicles closed and
grown over, and the scalp is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our
statements upon what has already
been accomplished by the use of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic, and we
have the right to assume that what
