MAINE DISASTER
DIYBROELY VIEWED
Renewal of Opinion that Ex-
plosiOn Was External.
CAUSE MAY NEVER BE KNOWN
Admiral Wainwright, Executive
Officer on Inflated ship, Adhercs
to Belief in Outside Agency.
Gen. BiXby, L. =. A., Says Specific
Deductions Cannot Be Made.

With the wreck of the Maine being
rapidly exposed to view conflicting Opin-
ions still obtain among high naval au-
thoritieS here as to what caused the
explosion that sunk the battle ship and
snuffcd out the lives of practically her
whole complement, officers and men. The
finding of pieces of steel supposed to
lie part Of the keel has led to the re-
newaI of the opinion that the Maine was
destroyed by an external explosion.
Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright,
who was executive officer on the Maine
at the time of her destruction, has all
ways maintained the ship was blown up
by mine or some other external force
Expects Confirmation.
Il think if It has not yet been proven
that the Maine was blown up from the
outside, the result of the present investi-
cation will bear out d. this belief" Ad-
miral Wainwright said.
Rear Admiral Nicholson, acting Secre-
tary of the Navy, did not care to discuss
the matter last night. He prefers to
leave that to officers who were on the
spot in Havana.
Gen. William H. BiXby, u. S. A, en-
gineer. who was in charge of the clear
ing away of the Maine wreck, said last
night:
There is nothing in sight now to show
what caused the explosion, and there
may never be any such conclusive evil
denCe exposed. When the magazines OF
the Maine blew up they threw the upper
decks about in all directions. This force
must have pulled up parts Of the ship
from below, in view of the fact that all
parts and pieces of the ship are rivetted
together.
Conclusion Uncertain.
The pieces of steel that have been
found recently, may have been thrown
up from the lower decks of the ship.
That they are pieces Of the keel cannot
be stated now with certainty 1t will
take several months before specific de-
auctions can be made"

The Lion and the Mouse.

THE Lion and the Mouse" which
the United Play company will pre-
sent in this city at the opera house
here November 16, Is an American
play essentially and consplcuously
such and based upon theme which
has not been before exploited dra-
matically. 1t deals directly with a
subject which at the present NOM
ent is very much in the public mind,
the corruption of politics and legis-
lation by the power of combined
money making organizations AMI
the dominance of unscrupulous
kings of finance.
To Charles Klein who wrote the
play and Henry b. Harris who had
foresight to appreciate the timeli-
ness of it, is due credit for undoubt-
eddy one of the best dramas that has
been seen in America in many years.
The announcement of the produc-
ton here is causing much comment.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of Simple
Remedy VIII Bring Back
the Natural Color.

| Pull out one gray hair and a
| dozen will take it's place" is an old
| saying, which is, to great extent,
| true, If no steps are taken to stop
the cause When gray hairs appear
! it is a sign that Nature needs as
sistance. 1t is Natures call for help.
Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair
that is falling out, is not necessarily
sign of advancing age, for there
are thousands of elderly people with
perfect heads of hair without sin
gle streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of
the best preparations to use is the
old-fashioned sage tea which our
grandparents used The best prep
aration of this kind is Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, q prep
aration OF domestic sage and sui
phur. scientifically compounded with
later discovered hair tonics and
stimulants, the whole mixture being
| carefully balanced and tested by eX-
perts.
| Wyeth Sage and sulphur is clean
| and wholesome and perfectly harm
| less. II refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its nat
ural color.
Don't DELAY another minute Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference a
few days treatment will make on
your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

During this time no steps We're
taken to turn the farm into a park.
For while this project was forgot
ten but several years later bill was
introduced into the legislature of
Kentucky authorizing the purchase
of the property by the state, but It
failed of passage. Then the bennett
estate became involved in litigation
and finally the property was put up
for sale at public auction and 1t was
bought by Robert j. Collier for 49,
600.
Mr.. Collier then formed the Lin
coin Farm Association and on Lin
coins birthday two years ago he
decided the farm to it. The associa-
ton sent attorneys throughout thai
portion of Kentucky to interview ola
settlers and take dispositions con-
corning the real birthplace of Lin
coin, because number of uninform-
ed persons had declared that the
Martyr President had first seen the
light In Eastern Kentucky, near
Borea College. The dispositions es-
tablished the fact that Lincoln was
born on the spot now marked by the
Memorial building which is to Do
dedicated Thursday.
Soon after this it Was learned that
the old cabin was about to be pur-
chased by a Long Island Snowman
and Mr.. Collier Immediately bought
it and turned it over to the associa-
ton. The trustees at once decided to
send the logs back to Kentucky and
restore the cabin on its original site.

special train for the transportation
and large store in New York decor
