MORE FUNDS ARE
URGENTLY NEEDED
FOR OUTING CAMPS
Less Than One Thousand
Dollars Realized From
Booths This Week.

OF the SO, 800 necessary for the main
tenance of the outings camps, where
mothers and children run down in
health and In need of recuperation can
obtain two-week periods in the open.
only 1886 was realized through the
booths established in the department
stores and theaters during the past
two days. The two days set for the
campaign has taught Washington the
meaning of the outing camps. but as
yet the results fall below the expecta-
tions of the charity workers interested
In the outdoor care OF mothers and
children of the poor classes.
Probably some of those who heard
from the young women behind the diff
ferent booths of how many mothers
and children are annually saved from
death by the city's sweltering heat
through opportunity to take a rest In
the outing camps will think the charity
over and later contribute to its sup
port. This is what IS hoped for by
those interested in the work.
Many persons who stopped on their
way through stores and theaters In the
past two days fingered just long enough
at the booths to see pictures of the
outing camps and hear some Of the
descriptions of the work done at the
, camps. These persons. when asked to
give to the fund for the support of the
canvas vacation places" as the chill
dren who have been there call them:
promised in many instances to send
checks to the Associated Charities
! Should Washington fail in it's usual
liberality In this matter II may be
necessary to close the outing camps
earlier than usual.

Mime. D'Mille's Beauty Hints
(From the Journal of Fashion.)

mo woman who prizes true beauty
will neglect her eyebrows and eye
lashes. Brushing the eyebrows trains
them to grow arch-shape and applying
pyroxin will make them grow thick
and silky. Pyroxin applied to roots will
make the lashes grow long and silky.
ITO keep the skin clear, smooth, fair
and plant, use a simple complexion
beautifier made by dissoiving an origi-
nal package of mayatone in a half pint
OF witch hazel. Gently massage face,
neck and arms with this and you will
escape freckles, tan, and sunburn. 1t
prevents that shiny look and will not
rub Off or show like powder. while Il
gives a lovely, soft, and youthful COM
plexion.
ANY person desiring abundant,
glossy hair should use a dry shampoo
frequently. Mix four ounces of pow
dered orris root with an original pack
age of therox and sprinkle a teaspoon
full of this mixture on the head and
brush II thoroughly through the hair.
Therox makes the hair light and fluffy,
and beautifully lustrous.
Paste made by mixing water with
a little powdered delatone and applied
to a hairy surface will remove every
trace of superfiuous hair or fuzz
Leave the paste on a minute or two,
then remove and wash the surface.
This treatment Is safe, sure and speedy,
and leaves the skin hairless, firm, and
smooth"

carrier on a crowded street in front of
the Silversmith building, II South Wa

by the police. The sample carrier Nc
Dermott, was held by the police.

WEE LOST CHILD
CLAIMED BY WOMAN,
IDENTITY HIDDEN
Girl Taken From Home BY
Mother Who Gives Neither
Name Nor Address.

Mildred, the toddling two-year-old
vanderer who was found on the Mt.
Pleasant playground Wednesday after
noon, has been returned to her parents
or guardians, but who they are or where
they live remains a mystery.
The little girl was taken late Wednes-
day afternoon by Miss Florence Kent
the superintendent of the playground
to the home of Mrs. S. H. Scheer, 1850
Monroe street northwest. Mrs. Scheer
said she would take care of the little
one until some one claimed her. In tiH
meantime the police had received no in
formation from parents or guardians
looking for a lost child
The first report Of the whereabouts Of
the child was published yesterday. At
10 o'clock In the evening a woman called
at the home of Mrs. Scheer and was met
at the door by Mrs. Scheers mother.
The caller inquired II there was a lost
child there and said that II there was
one 1t belonged to her.
Failed to Give Name.
The little girl had been put to bed,
but she was awakened, dressed, and
given to the caller, who disappeared
without leaving her name or address.
Persons living near the Fairgrounds
thought that they recognized the fair
haired little girl as one who lived near
the Eighth Street Temple. Inquiry
among persons residing near the tenn
rle, however, failed to elicit any in
formation abou: child corresponding
answered to the name of Mildred. Many
OF the children living near the temple
are Italians, dark-haired and of olive
complexion So far as known no golden
haired, blue-eyed child lives near the
church.
The wanderer could not talk. her vo-
cabulary being limited to murmurs of
assent or dissent. She indicated that
was called.
Showed No Emotion.
THE woman, who called for the little
girl spoke in a convincing way, but she
showed no emotion when the little girl
was brought to her and the child did
not seem especially glad to see the wom-
an" said Mrs. Scheer.
Miss Florence Kent. the superinten-
dent or the playground, found the little
stranger on the grounds shortly after
2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. About
$3.50 the youngster left the playground,
marching brsyely RSn, down Fourteenth
provided for the little girls dinner, and
later in the afternoon took her to the
home of Mrs. scheer.
When it was learned that the little

fered to keep her. One old gentleman
riding past the playground stopped to
say that he would provide home for
the small traveller If her parents or
guardians could not be found. The
playground officials propose to continue
their search for the person who claimed
the little girl.
During oil the time she was on the
playground and while at the home of
Mrs. Scheer she seemed contented, and
did not cry.

COUNTY DEMOCRATS MEET.
e. W. Houston Speaks, criticising Re-
publican Party, but Fails to Men.
ton Prices Of Farm Products

The democratic county convention
was held on Saturday last at the same
time the republican convention was
held, there being fair sprinkling of
democrats from most of the precincts
in the county. There was nothing to
be done outside of selecting delegates
to the state convention; inasmuch as
the candidates for the county offices
were selected at the primary held
early in June.
Outside of speech made by E.
w. Houston, from Boyer township,
there was little of interest to hold the
convention together. Mr.. Houston
warmed up to his subject when he
came to a criticism of the record OF
the republican party and made the
usual prediction about what may be
expected at the election in Novem.
Der. He did not, however, make any
comparison of prices of cattle, hogs
and other farm products now and in
1896, when his party was in full con.
troll of the affairs of the government.
He said nothing about $500 an acre
land in Crawford county today in com.
parison with land worth $50 and $50
per acre when his party was in pow.
er. There is one thing that demo.
cratic orator is always deprived OF
using in his speech and that is the
prosperity which is brought to the
country during republican admins.
tratiOns. 1t is statement borne out
by history, that democratic policies
have always brought adversely, while
republican policies have lifted the
country up to the highest plain OF
prosperity.
The following is list of delegates
to the state convention:
