BOmbardment Begun After Three
Days Grace Expired.
BESIEGED CITY is EMPTY
Censorship Is Strict and Real Facts
Are Hidden-Garrison Expected to
Make Little Resistance.

The Italian fleet bOmbarded Tripoli
opening fire when the three days
grace granted to the garrison on Sat
urday in which to haul down the Turk
ish flag expired.
1t was reported by wireless that
passing ships at sea could easily dis
unguish the heavy roar of artillery
fire from the battleships
While no details are available, It
was a foregone conclusion that the
Turks would offer little or no resist
ance to the fire from the heavy guns
Of the steel armored battleships-th
most powerful Of the Italian navy. It
was the plan of the Italians to cOncen-
trate the fire upon the Turkish de-
fenses where the antique three-inch
krupp guns were mounted in the old
Turkish fortress could makeAo return
TO the fire Italy's great modern can
non made.
Wireless messages were received at
Rome from the Italian fleet off Tri-
poll. They state that the city is now
practically deserted except for the
Turkish garrison. The only Italians re-
naming are the apostolic delegate and
few Franciscan monks, who refused
to depart
The natives have retired to the in
terror, transporting with caravans OF
camels 5000 old Mauser rifles recleiv- |
ed from the Turkish military author- |
ties and 10000 Mausers which were
landed by the Turkish transport Dor !
ma. The plan adopted evidently, is to |
arm the Arab tribes of the interior /
for a guerilla warfare against the Ital-
ians.
The correspondents were under the
strictest censorship, and were not per
mitted to disclose the names of the
blockading ships or the military move
ments.
Turkish soldiers were guarding the
Italian consulate and the Italian busi-
ness houses. When the last of the
Italian colonists left the consulate on
Saturday. where they had spent the
night under the protection Of the Ger {
man flag, the streets We're strongly I
lined with Turkish troops Crowds of
natives assembled and hooted and
ieered angrily There were evidences
Of violent rage on the part of the :
Arabs, and the soldiers prevented a +
possible massacre. The German con y

Immediately the refugees left the q

THE RED CROSS SEALS.
Where They are on Sale and What
They Stand For.

An organized committee for the dis
posal of the Red Cross Seals IN An
napolis is meeting with success mere
and il is hoped Annapolis viii roll up
a large and creditable sum TO help
stamp out the White Plague.
The little Red Cross Seals, when
sell for a penny each, carry good eheer
and the mess age for a Merry christ
mas, when placed on letters and pack
ages, but they must be placed on the
reverse side, and not used TO seal the
package with. The object in selling
them is to raise funds for the work OF
prevention and cure of tuberculosis
for furnishing nurses for the SICK
and those afflicted with the disease,
and to help sanitation to the extent
that soon there will be no such
thing as consumption of which thous-
ands die every year.
The Red Cross Seals are for sale IN
the Boyer Theatre and will be on sale
taere for two weeks. Mrs. W. ID.
Brereton and Mrs. Rittenour, assisted
by two young ladies each night and
matinee have a table here for the
sale of the seals. Last night, assist
ing were Miss Rosalie Walk and Miss
Claude. One of the sailors at the
Naval Academy who bought some Red
Cross seals, said he belonged to the
Red Cross service of the Navy and
wanted to help the cause.
Red Cross booths are located II
the Postoffice, Carvel Hall, Munroe's,
Ridout Bros. Farmers Natinal Bank,
William H. Thomas & Co., Mrs. Z.
w. Hopkins, West street. Young
ladies are wanted to voluneer to assist
the committees in selling the seals
and are invited to present themselves
to any of the committee or to notify
Mrs. r. G. Heiner, secretary, Mrs.
McComas or Mrs. Dashiell.

A GREAT MUSICIAN.
Bartoletti Pleases Crowds At Boyer
Theatre MaginleYs Thrill.

IL you could only have an admission
ticket for every thrill and chill that
chases itself up and down your spinal
column while you watch the Magin-
legs do their aerial stunts, at the
Boyer Theatre you wouldn't have to
buy another ticket for a year.
The Maginleys do all kinds Of hair
splitting stunts on the trapeze in mid
air, and tie themselves into double
bow-knots while suspen led by their
teeth from rings and the trapeze away
up in the flies. The Maginleys are
really worth seeing and the woman is
a wonder in her particular speciality.
Harry and Edna Rose feature a COM
edy musical act THE Ambitious
Maid" They are very good and play
the cornet and trombone in good style.
But the great feature of the vaude-
vile is Bartoletti. 1.-THE wizard of the
ACCORDION. Bartoletti is a little
man, but he is big in musical sense.
He can make more music out of the
ACCORDION than most organists can
get out of great pipe organ.
The way Bartoletti manipuIates the
keys of the ACCORDION is amazing. The
music is splendid and this one feature
Of the Boyer bill is worth many times
the price of admission. The pictures
are especially good.
Red Cross Seals for sale in the lobby
at the Boyer Theatre every night for
two weeks.

"CHICK" BROWN ESCAPES.
Insane" Murderer on His Wav to An
napolis Is Caught.

Every body in these parts remembers
the case of "Chick" Brown, colored,
accused of the murder of his wife in
this town. Brown, at the trial was ad-
judged insane" and was committed to
the institution for the colored insane
near Brownsville, this county.
Recently work on a new colored in
sane asylum near the old one in the
county was begun, and some of those
inmates, whose condition was thought
to be improved have been put to work
breaking ground, etc.
Yesterday "Chick" Brown, who does
not seem to be quite so crazy as they
think he is, escaped from the institu-
tion and was walking to town. He had
not forgotten his home is in Annapolis
and he was probably on the way there
to spend Christmas. By way of a re
hinder of other strenuous days
"Chick" had armed himself with brick
bats and had one in each pocket when
captured by the guard.
What most sane people who are not
accused and tried for murder would like
to know is why a man convicted of kill
ing his wife and declared insane should
not be incarcerated in a cell for safe
keeping and to be out of harms way.

How to Tell if Your Hair is
Diseased

Even if you have a luXuriant head
of hair you may want to know wheth
err it is in a healthy condition or not
90 per cent of the people need a hair
tonic.
Pull a hair out of your head; if the
bulb at the end of the root is white
and shrunken, it proves that the hair
is diseased, and requires prompt
treatment if it's loss would be avoided.
If the bulb is pink and full, the hair
is healthy.
: We want every one whose hair re-
quires treatment to try Rexall "93'
Hair Tonic. We promise that it shall
not cost anything If it does not give
satisfactory results. 1t is designed TO
overcome dandruff, relieve scalp irri-
tation, to stimulate the hair roots,
tighten the hair already in the head,
grow hair and cure badness.
