SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Why Not Shave 1t Off? If You Do 1t
Right, 1t Does 1t Better Than
Most DepiIatories.

You might just as well shave as use
a paSty substance which is to be ap-
piled to remove superfluouS hair. This
simply removes the surface hair; there
fore the effect is the same as shaving,
only the razor is more convenient and
takes it off cleaner OF course, it does
no. matter which way you do it; you
only remove the surface hair, which
will return stronger after each removal
The same applies to other worthless
compounds and so-called liquid cures''

only method that gives PROOF that it is
absolutely non-poiSonous, safe and
sure. You are not asked to buy it On

preparation of its kind which is en-
dorsed by physicians, surgeons, der
matologists, medical journals, promi-

member the longer you use such treat
ments as those referred to above the
stronger the hair will grow and the
harder it will be to remove it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Manager Daniel V. Arthur, who will
present Miss Grace Van Studdiford in
the new comic opera bouffe, '"The Para
disc of Mahomet," on Tuesday, May 2,
at the Grand, candidly admits that he
devoted the most of his time and
thought to giving his star the most
sumptuous production of her career. He
was confident that Miss Van Studdi-
ford could be relied upon to delight and
thrill her audience with voice that
has no rival in light opera, but he
wanted to contribute his share toward
the success of the venture. And the
New York press agreed that Manager
Arthur had done so. This new Smith
Planquette comic opera is acknowl-
edged to be one of the most beautifully
staged and costumed productions in
years. 1t will be brought here COM
plete. direct from the Herald Square
theater, New York. Tickets for this
engagement will be on sale at the
Grand box office Saturday morning.

the stellar position, and a company of
100, will be the attraction at the Grand
next Wednesday. Mr.. Powers will be
seen in the role of Samuel Nix, which
he created when the piece was first
produced at the Casino theater, New
York. Havana" the music of which
is by Leslie Stuart. composer of the
score of "Florodora,' comes here after
a run of over two years in New York
and similar runs earned throughout
the United States. Mr.. Powers and
'Havana." was sone of the few musical
plays that remained in Chicago last
season for over three months. The

duction will be seen when this delight

WOMAN DEsCENDs LADDER.
But She Wears HobbIe Skirt and Cops
Are Delighted.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 27.-The spec
tacle of woman descending a ladder
from an upper story of a big depart
ment store provided entertainment for
a crow1 of several hundred people
here last night.
Late in the evening Patrolman Pike
saw the woman at an upper window
of the store. She was crying hyster-
ica1ly and trying to attract the atten-
'tion of persons in the street. A long
ladder was secured nearby. The Off
Ger started to go up, but the woman
waved him back.
and she did, the crowd cheering as she
gingerly picked her way down the 55-
foot ladder. She proved to be an en-
ployee who had been working late and
had been inadvertently locked in by
the Watchman.
''The hobble skirt is vindicated," p"
remarked the policeman. ''It's a great
thing for a woman on ladder"

Fought Fire All Night.

North Adams Mass, April 27.-All
through last night 400 men fought a
woods fire at the top of Pine Cobble
mountain, which starting three days
ago near Williamstown, threatened the
western section of this city. Fully
5000 acres of land have been burned
over. By digging wide trenches and
telling trees, the amateur fire brigade
succeeded in dividing the oncoming
rush of fame and at dawn it was
hoped that the danger to North Adams
had been averted.

New York, April S.-The first hour of
stock exchange business was marked by
a continuance of the same heaviness in
prices that was witnessed yesterday. and
for the last three business days. the fea-
ture of transactions being a further sharp
decline in Missouri Pacific stock accom-
Terminal bonds.
Sympathetic weakness with the drop in
Missouri Pacific was displayed in Reading
stock moro than elsewhere and there was
no explanation of the selling of Missouri
Pacific other than the idea that the COM
ing rehabilitation OF the property might
considerably postpone the day of divi-
dend distributions on the companys
stock.
Substantially the only announcement of
interest during business hours was that
of the usual fortniGhtly statement of the
idle freight car surplus in the country,
this showing a decrease for the first time
in the present year. The number of idle
cars was put at 194,SS7. as against 207, ,a61
two weeks ago. and the fall in the sur
plus was perhaps due to the freer move
ment of coal in the last fortnight on
account of the usual stocking up Of re
tailers in anticipation of April sales of
most invariably heavy and represent pur-
chaSeS made by many consumers of their
next winters supply OF fuel
Slight Recovery at Close.
AT the close of the day on the stock
exchange a somewhat firmer undertone
was shown in the dealings and a general
although slight recovery took place in
prices. The volume of business was, of
course, small, and the dealings wholly
professional. The weekly bank state
ment was only deserving OF notice be-
cause of an explained discrepancy be
tween the average and actual figures Of
the return. In the one form of the state
ment there was a decrease in cash of over
LOO. eco. and although accompanied by a
slight decrease in loans, resulted in a
falling off of s, 100000 in the bank surplus.
In the actual figures loans decreased
about as much as they did in the aver
age, but as in this compilation, cash in
creased in round numbers $4,000, a
small increase in the surplus was brought
about.
Discussion of the general financial and
business position continues to involve a
balancing of more or less adverse present
conditions against hopeful prospects. 1t
must be conceded that during the current
week emphasis has fallen rather decided
ly upon the trst-named factor. The ten
dency toward a decrease in railroad earn
ings is more evident, bank ClearingS are
diminishing with greater rapidity. and
the March report of commercial failures
was poorer than any seen for a long
time
