WORKS BOARD
GIVES CONTRACT
IN SEWER SYSTEM
Commissioner Denman Urges
Citizens, Get Preference
Over Foreigners.

Contracts for the work on Thirteenth
street, Warwick street and section 2
of the Meadow Brook 1--WE system
were awarded to Diameter & Stefanelli
and james A. Christie by the Board
of Works yesterday afternoon, the first
firm getting the contract for the Thir-
tenth street work at $2,91S. The other
contracts went at s426.50 and 3d. 0 100.
A protest from the residents of Four
teenth street against the paving of
that street between Orange street and
Central avenue was received by the
board. Another protest received was
from Joseph Coult, who represented
the owners of the old Leon Albeit es-
tate at Broad street and New Jersey
Railroad avenue. The latter street, he
said, Is so o~bstructed by the embank-
ment of the Pennsylvania tracks there
that his clients have no access to their
property.
Commissioner Arthur Denman told
the board that he had heard OF a petit
ton to be presented asking that m
ployment by the city be given to citi-
zens in preference to foreigners. Mr..
Denman thought that this ought to be
done anyway. without a petition.
The board was notified by the Board
of Trade yesterday that that body
had selected it's president, Peter Camp
bell, to represent it on the Advisory
Docks Commission.

JERSEY CITY, March 6.-Guest OF
honor at the annual dinner of the
Minkakwa Club last night, Governor
John Franklin Fort in his speech in
timated that he believed Bryan would
undoubtedly be the Democratic candi-
date for President, and said he believed
that the latter would go down in de-
feat as he has in the past.
The Governor also declared that
there was no doubt but the Republic
cans would carry New Jersey at the
coming Presidential election. Governor
Fort made no reference to his boom for
Vice-President.
The presence of the Governor alone
saved the banquet from being a frost,
other local Republicans and State
leaders were conspicuous by their alb
sence. The Governor also praised Presi-
lent Roosevelt as a man who put coun-
try before party.
The Governors speech was extern
as he declared his work as
chief State executive kept him SO busy
that he did not have time to prepare
any set orations. The talk the Gov
ernor was expected to deliver on the
lack of harmony existing here between
the Republican factions he intimated
come later.

Molly Mott May Lose Eyesight
After Sensational Chicago
Career of Crime.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Suffering from
burns that may destroy her eyesight.
Molly Mott, styled by the police
''the wickedest woman in the world"
is held as a witness against Matthew
Mcdonald, who has been locked up on
a charge of throwing a kettle full of
boiling water on her. Her head, face
and arms are swathed in bandages.
Molly Mott has been a police char
acter for nearly twenty-five years. For
her escapade with Dyer Seaman in 1887
she earned the sobriquet of the wick
eldest woman" The reckless daring of
Seaman and his consort. who for two
hours stood off 100 policemen who tried
to arrest them in a barricaded room, is
one of the notable features in local po-
lice annals. Five years age "Molly"
was arrested for the murder of Frank,
alias RED" Hart, whom she killed in a
saloon. She was acquitted on a plea
of self-defense.

wv made in the medical profession. Many diseases that
were considered ~incurabie fifteen years ago are now cured in a
few days and in many cases prevented altogether. The scientists
of late years have been searching for the reason and the cause
of disease, fully realizing that the actual and true cause must be
ascertained before the remedy can be created. Hair troubles,
like many other diseases, have been wrongly diagnosed and
altogether misunderstood. The hair itself is not the thing to be
treated, for the reason that it is simply product of the scalp,
and wholly dependent upon its action. The scalp is the very
soil in which the hair is produced, nurtured and grown, and it
alone should receive the attention if results are to be expected.
It would do no earthly good to treat the stem of a plant with a
view Of making it grow and become more beautiful-the soil in
scalp in which the hair grows must receive the attention if
Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying up, or losing its
supply of moisture or Eutrinent; when badness occurs the
scalp has simply lost all its nourishnent, leaving nothing for
the hair to feed upon IA plant or even a tree would die under
similar conditionsl.
The natural thing to do in either case, is to feed and
Yeplenish the soil or scalp as the case may be, and your crop
will grow aud multiply as nature intended it should.
