Indianapolis. Ind. Dec. 2s.-The
meeting of the Republican, state COM
mittee, yesterday, really was har-
monious affair-much harmonious than
had been anticipated. True, the vari-
Gus politicians and representatives of
the various factions were buzzing
around the committee rooms and there
was a lot of political work done, but it
was all directed toward trying to bring
about the best possible solution of the
problems that confronted the commit

In his. it is believed the committee was
eminently successful.

WANT ORLEANS TO BE KING
Cameiots Du Roi Are a Riotous Crowd
of Royaiists and Frequently Create
Excitement in Paris.

The offshoot of the Orleanist party,
calling themselves the "Camelots du
Roi," which every now and then get
up a little excitement in Paris by
assaulting ministers, would seem to
be the French equivalent of our
suffragettes, says an English paper.
They are supposed to be agitating
for the overthrow of the French re-
public and the return of the Due dor
leans as king, but it is very doubtful
indeed whether this sort of thing is
likely to help the duke up the steps
of throne.
The society is composed of all
sorts and conditions of men and wom-
en-, from members of the old French
nobility down to walters and artisans.
The Marquise de Vasselot de Rogue
is a prominent member, and SO is
Count BONN de Castellane.
The marquise is one of the mar
tyrs" of the cause. A few months
ago she was awarded five days i'm
prisonment for the use of insulting
terms" and for riotous behavior at a
royalist demonstration.
Nobody was more pleased than the
marquise herself at the sentence. She
was sentenced during her absence
II OH fdTlS, out she promptly RETURN
ed and was presented with sheaves
of flowers by admiring royalists as she
entered the prison.
The "hawkers'' generally confine
| themselves to ''riotous behavior" oc-
casionally indulging in special little
excitement, like the attempt of Mat
| tbs, a waiter, to pull NJ. Fallieres
| beard, because he would make him
| look so ridiculOus"
Another of their little attempts tic
reinstate the Due d'Orleans on the
| throne of France was perpetrated one
dark night, when the conspirators sal
| lied forth with pots of paint, and
Paris woke up next morning, to find
| that a number of statues, erected TX
the memory of senators and Other
harmless folk, had been daubed with
brilliant coats of red paint
Such performances have, in fact
made the duke appear not little ridi
/ culous at times, and few months
ago he was moved to declare in al
interview that these tactics do more
harm than good"

Younn Ace Pensions.

Waves PropeI Ships.

John Luck of Brooklyn has devised
a plan to apply wave power to the pro-
pulsion of vessels crossing the ocean
At his home, 1906 Newkirk avenue,
he has on exhibition a model OF his
invention.
1t represents the hull of a vessel
equipped with water tanks fore and
aft In the center of the craft is a
piston rod operated by a series of
cogwheels, which furnishes motor pow
er for the ship. Theoretically the
weight of water stored in the tanks
will be sufficient to put the machinery
in motion and move the ship This
force will be applied by the rise and
fall of the hull, occasioned by the ac-
ton of the waves.
If, for instance, a wave five feet
high should strike the vessel astern,
tons of force would be thrown upon
the operating machinery, which would
be simultaneously affected by the
suction Of the receding waters in 9TH
er tanks on the opposite end of the
boat 1t would not. therefore. at

tides were adverse to the course OF

construction and the inventor asserts
that its cost would be saved in week
by the saving of fuel and labor.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. ALI the hair came out and
his head was soaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. 1 bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. 1 don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. 1 think Cuticura is great
remedy and would advise any one tc
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
I have ever used for toilet purposes

the United States is $111.67, which Is
nearly So more than 1t was in 1910.
Since 1900, when the automobile be-
gan to be regarded less as toy,
anc more as possible necessity, the
average value Of the horse has In
creased from $44.61--a gain Of $77.o7
a head. The gain has kept up every
year except ono. when there was a
loss Of 10 cents head between 1907
and 1908.
The period from 1894 to 1901 was
the low-water mark for horses. In
1897 the average value dropped to
$s1.51. During the years 1895. 1896.
1897 and 1898. the figures were under
$40 for the only time in the history
of this country.
