SENATOR SCOTT DETAINED

Wheeling has not had a celebration
NJ any importance for many years IN
which Hon. y. n. Scott was not a
prominent figure. During the sixteen
years Mr.. Scott served as Internal
Revenue Commissioner and as United
States Senator. he never missed al
tendance upon the State Far or upon
any other large public function in
which the people OF Wheeling were
interested.
Mucn TO his regret. his physical
condition prevented his attendance
and participation in the SemiCenten.

derwent an operation for cataract.

that exposure 70 heat and dust and

HON. HENRY G. DAVIS.

West Nirginians will note with
pleasure the presence in the Semi.
Centennial celebration OF Hon. Henry
Gassaway Davis. Mr.. Davis has long
since ceased TO be merely a foremost
citizen OF West Virginia. lie has be
come an institution. or all West vir-
ginia products. this brisk and active
young man OF eighty-seven most
challenges our admiration and com
mands our applause. West Virginia
owes 10 Hon. Henry G. Davis a debt
OF gratitude. not only for his splendid
work in the development OF the State.
not only for the initiation and con-
struction OF the great enterprises with
which he has been actively connected.
not only for the liberal hand with
which he has endowed and supported
institutions OF charity and benevo-
lence. but also for the splendid object
lesson in right living. IN the art of
growing old beautifully. and in the
value OF long and continued active
service. His life and career typify
our best citizenship.
While We welcome him to our Semi
Centennial celebration today. we look
forward with confident anticipation 10
the centennial celebration fifty years
hence. in which We confidently aniici-
pate he will be one OF the striking
and most active nSures.

tourn in Paris. looking over the work
OF repair which follows ed the destruc-
ton done by the commune three years
earlier. ! had spent three or four
weeks in Paris with my family In
1874. just after the commune had
been suppressed. What I then wit
ressed was even more appalling than
was the appearance OF Chicago imme-

year"
In this way the late General James
Watson Webb began the narration TO
some OF his friends in this city OF an
incident that occurred while he was
at Paris I'm 1874.
General Webb was almost as fami.
liar with Paris as he was with New
York or Chicago. He was a warm
personal friend OF the Emperor Louis
Napoleon, for he had befriended Ma
poleon when the future emperor was
living from hand TO mouth IN New
York city. II was General Webb who
was the bearer Of a confidential mes
sage from Louis Napoleon to Presi-
dent Lincoln. in 1864. in fhich the
President was assured that as soon
as II could be done without hurnilia-

FALLING HAIR MEANS

Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair Is mute evidence Of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
Of It's luster, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
II not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store. and after
the. first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and. fluffy and have the appear
ance Of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness. but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks use, when you will actual

HUSBAND MUST BE AMERICAN
Popular Singer Declares They Are the
Best In the World, and Perhaps
She Is Right.

A young American singer who re-
turns 10 this country after a success
full career abroad. expecting to reap
here high hoonrs and much money, an
uounces that she is a candidate for
matrimony, but only American men
need apply. Her verdict is that the
Russian husband is cruel, the German
selfish, the Frenchman untrue, the
Italian broke" the Spaniard jealous
and lazy and the Engllshman dOmineer-
ing These congratulations are IN
doubtedly too strong. There are as
good husbands in each OF the coun-
tries as anywhere, but the foreigner
who deliberately hunts an American
girl is apt to be an adventurer, and
We hear of all the bad cases. We do
not hear of the thousands of American
women happily married and living in
every country in Europe.
1t is to be hoped that the singer will
find a husband with none of the bad
qualities mentioned and with all of
the virtues. We feel at liberty, how
ever, to point out that there are some
mighty bad husbands in this country
and that American birth alone is no
guarantee of perfection. 1t is true,
however. that the ordinary American
husband is the best trained animal
in captivity. He eats out Of his wife's
hand and signs checks and is thankful
for the opportunity There are millions
Of such husbands now and millions
Of candidates for the yOke.-Philadel-

pressed his approval of the efforts Of
the organization and explained the in

good roads for the farmer in prefer

Defining a Patriot

What is a patriot" was the Ques-
ton set to the candidates for Junior
scholarships given by the Northum-

are some of the replies:
"a bird with red feathers coming
out of its head"
"The patriot will sometimes tall"
Familiarity with the pierrot Is prob
ably the cause Of the definitions Of q
patriot as a clown" and booster"
st. Patrick was a patriot. the father
of saints" and "a man who lives up
