A sad cry comes from Paris to the
effect that there is q very serious
shortage of false hair. The Partisan
women. who by the constant applica-
tions of tonics and dressings to their
hair have ruined the growth, are
forced to depend upon the hair of some
one else to make up their coiffure. For
many years the peasant girls of Brit
tany and Normandy have been in the
habit of selling their tresses. but 1T .s
stated that this supply is running
short. Paris imports about 200 tons
of false hair each year, which is made
up into the coiffure of milady and some
of the more fashionable dealers ar"
hard put to il to secure tresses of ths
desired quality.

Ruth Bryan and Husband Parted

William Homer Leavitt, husband Of
w. J. Brysn's daughter Ruth, has
been in Paris six months and will
never rejoin his wife, according to
authentic adyices received here, says
an Omaha special TO the New York
World. The latest information re-
ceived was from Mrs. Leavitt, who is
also abroad. It was contained in
letter to Miss Edith Locke, a class
mate of Mrs. Leavitt's at Nebraska
University, to whom the portrait
painters wife announced that she
would not see her husband while in
Europe, where she is with her mother,
and that she did not expect her
husband to return to the United
States.
Mrs. Leavitt spent nearly two
months here last fall visiting school
chums. who, besides Miss Locke, are
Miss Comstock and Miss Clark. In
vestigstion reveals the fact that at this
time she con6dentially informed sew
eral OF her intimates that she had
broken off relations with her husband.
It is said that the announcement made
to Miss Locke is not the first made by
Mrs. Leavitt in letters to friends in
Omaha that her married life with
Leavitt was at an end.
In preparing for the present Euro
pean trip, on which she recently sailed
from New York, Mrs. W. J. Bryan in
vited Miss Raymond, of Lincoln, t.
to accompany her and her daughter
The question of Mr.. LeaYitt's move
ments being mentioned, Mrs. Bryan il
reported to have said that her son-in
law was already in Paris. and tina
probably he would never return.
The Leavitt home in Denver II
closed and has been so neglected tina
it was rsnsacked few nights ago anC
robbed of its yaluables.

Western, she should be up and doing.
That the game is worth the candle is
amply demonstrated in the case OF
Norfolk. To the immense coal busi-
ness of that city she owes in great
measure, her present prosperity and
the large increase of her ship
ping trade in recent years. Hampton
Roads and the inner harbor are con-
stantly filled with schooners and
steamers awaiting coal and nearly
every steamer from the gulf and the
north and to Europe, other than the
coastwise passenger liners, go into
Norfolk for bunker coal.
In this way, Norfolk gained the ad-
vantage Of an export business that she
probably would not have gained other
wise. Certainly there is q great ad-
vantage in having rs per cent. of the
Europe bound steamers calling at her
port for coal. When the Panama canal
is completed and the current OF the
worlds traffic turns westward, the in
crease in this business can scarcely be
calculated. Since Charleston is the
nearest South Atlantic port to Panama,
and could certainly command as much
OF coastwise business as Norfolk il she
had the coal, II would seem that il is
the logical outlet for the South L
Western. But Charleston should not
be idle. She should go after the
South 4 Western. Again, this line
may be the means Of gaining the long.
sought direct line to the west. A
good deal Of the new line is con.
structed along surveys made by the
old Sos.
Today the Norfolk & Western (the
only with which we may compare the
future business of the South 4 West.
ern) is delivering to the Lambert
Point coal piers at Norfolk an average
OF 300 cars of coal daily. These carl
average A tons each, or a total o.
$4,000 tons, or practically 5000, ,OO(
tons annually. Except what is useG
locally at Norfolk every ton OF thil
coal is shipped by coastwise schooner
and steamers and in the bunkers O.
coastwise. The industry gives EN-
ployment to hundreds Of men. It ha
produced an enormous ship chandler,
business, which is growing by leap
and bounds. 1t is an industry, withou
which Norfolk would not have beer
half the city she is today.
To the mills, factories, and othe
mercantile coal consumers Of this state
the road will be God-send. 1t mean
cheaper coal; it means o regular Goa
supply; it means direct connection
with the west by q competing line
it means increased industrial energy
commercial progress and business &C
tivity. The South 4 Western shoul,
be given a welcome hand and stronI
support.
When George l.. Carter bought
coal mine, he did a great work for him
self and q still greater work for th
south.
