WELLINGTON.

A pleasant episode at the Sunday school at the Baptist church, which convened at the usual hour with an attendance of 31, was the presenta- tion to Rev MT. Darrow of the warm, heavy driving coat. that through mo- body's fault, but by 8 com mbjnation of circumstances of transpor tation, did not arrive in time for the Christmas exercises. Dea. F.W. Pratt was very happy in his speech of presenta tlon, and Pastor Darrow equally so in his fespuEse. The coat was from the Sunday school.
 The union missionary service, pre- sided over hy Rev MT. Gardner at the Oongre g tionaI church Sunday morning, was largely attended aLU very interesting. Rev. MT. Porter, who is a native of Connecticut and a graduate cf Amherst. has been a mis- sioDary in Austria Hungary for years, and speaks the Bohemian language as readily as he does the English. There were some thirty Bohemians present, and his evident joy in telling the gospel story. and the f1uency of his speech, made the service one to be re- mem bered, although some parts of it were carried on in strange tongue. He spoke affectionately of the Be- hemian people, and reiterated what many of us have said and thought be- fore. that we were fortunate in having such intelligent. well-disposed people ake up the negle cted farms and bring them back to their old me fertility MT. Porter went from here to Vest ford, accompanying Gilbert Amidon, who was present at the meeting. All expressed the hope that he might come for another visit.

STAFFORD SPRINGS. Fire Breaks Out the Second Time.

The fire which star ted in the Rock
 we'll block last week Wednesday morn ing about 30 kept the firemen at J work until after 3 o'clock in the
 afternoon. Owing to the construction
 of the building it was Q very peculiar fire to handle. When the building
 was rebuilt some years ago quite a
 large space was left between the oeil- | ing of the first floor and the floor above This was all open, and the l fire wol ked through the ceiling and spread in sll directions and up inside the walls Holes had to be chopped in many of the partitions and floors.
 When the firemen left the building, between and 4 o'clock in the after
 noon. apparently tue fire WAS entirely extinguished. In the night, about 30, Off ;ar Helm discovered a smoulderirg fire and subdued it with pails of water. Later the fire brt ks out again, and he called Chief Henry Wise and rang in tE @ alarm about 3 40 At the time of the alarm the rear of the bail tug and pant of the roof was ablaze The building had
 had so much water poured into it,
 it did net seem possible for the fire to gain so much headWay in so short a time. The fremen were all tired from their long tussle the day before and did net respond to the alarm as quickly as usual The end of the building of D Robertson and Co had shutters on the doors and windows, except the transom over the double doors in the second story. The fire broke through this window and soon the section of the store near the doors was in flames It locked for a few minutes as if that building, and possi- bly, others, were doomed, but with the aid of volunteer help the Robertson fire was soon extinguished. By this time more of the flremen and arrived, and soon additional streams from the hydrants were playing on both ends of the Rockwell block The steamer was also used. By the time the fire was extinguished the upper part of the Rockwell building was about de- stroyed. The loss by fire, water and smoke to the Robertson stock was be- tween $3OOO and $4OOO MT. Aronson's stock, which he valued at $7, 500, was so damaged by the last fire that the salvage. if any, will be very small. The Campo stock loss was of course added to somewhat. The total loss on the Rockwell building is about $3OOO, and it has been satis-t factorily adjusted. The Campo Bros loss has been adjusted at $1 500. Mr. Robertson's 8 loss has also been sntis-I factorily adjusted. MT. Aronson is making an inventory of his loss, to baI adjusted later.

Domes Of Next Generation

WEIGHT STILES ROOTS.
Blood Has No Chance to Nour-
ish Scalp Held Down by
Heavy Switches.

When DR.. Everett Garnscy Rrowne,l
arose to address tho Rainy Day Club
on The Hygiene D: the HAIR at the
Hotel Astor yesterday afternoon the
two hundred odd women present ex-
pected a matter-os-fact talk on the care
OF the scalp.
But when the physician declared that

curls. rolls, rats and coirures IL con-
tinued the next generation of women
will life with little or no hair
at all, his auditors were filed with
amazement.
When he had finished his thirty
q scalp specialist. was approached by
several members OF the club, who
seemed greatly concerned about his
warning. lie told them that they had
better heed his advice and give their
scalps a chance TO breathe. or be pre-
pared to suffer the consequences.
Badness Increasing.
At his office in the Ormonde. Broad
way and Sixty-ninth street, this morn
ing DR.. Brownell told an Evening
world reporter that within the last
nve years. when the false hair has
sprung into sudden prominence as .
popular adjunct OF feminine beauty.
especially where It has been unneces-
sary. the tendency to baldness In
women has steadily increased.
THE women who spend most of their
days motoring or playing golf stand
less of a chance of suffering the conse-
quence of choking up their scalps with
wads of false hair. for they have the
benefit of the fresh air. But the office
workers and girls who are In stuny
stores all day long must surely soon
find their hair falling away II they
continue to hamper It's healthy growth
by weighing down the scalp to such
an exentt tina the circulation Is stopped
and the excessive heat thereby gener-
ated destroys the cushion of fat under
tho scalp.
Overweight Of False Hair.
Tho hair gets its nourishment from the
blood, and II the overweight OF false
hair stops or partly prevents the blood
from reaching the roots OF the hair
badness must eventually be the result.
For women who are given to using
wads OF false hair and who have no
outdoor life there IS little chance TO
retain a healthy scalp very long. II
they do not provide the necessary venti-
lauon they will find that after awhile
nothing will be left but the false curls
and coiffures and transformations TO
cover their scalps.
This Is a weakness the seriousness
of which present day women do not
appreciate, and 1t may not take Ions
for them to realize that they are sitting
the life out OF their hair by weighing
down It's source of nourishment. Tn
wads Of false hair they are using act
40 literal "sweat-boXes' and are really
a dangerous evil"
The Doctor closed his remarks with q
list OF Don'ts. He said:
Don't wash your hair oftener than
once in three weeks.
Don't use hair dyes. even II your
hair is becoming gray.
Don't wash your hair with prepara-
lions Just because Mrs. Smith has ad-
vised you to do 1t.
Don't forget to massage you scalp
frequently.
Don't wear rats or purs or switches"
