other states is being closely watched,

HISTORIC BUILDING RAzED.

Danville, Ky.-An old landmark Of
Boyle county was destroyed when the
workhouse building was razed This
structure was one fsthe Oldest il the
county, having been constructed for
jail purposes. Throughout the Civil
War the prison was used as a Confed-
crate prison and for a long period
thereafter it was the workhouse,
owned jointly by the county and city.
The place was compared to 1.-The
Black Hole of Calcutta" by former
Gov. Augustus e. Wilson, on account
of its unsanitary and generally
wretched condition. It was later con-
demned by the grand jury and a new
workhouse is now under the course of
construction in Fourth street. A new
city hall is being built on the site of
the old Workhouse.

MUST HAVE THE SUMS RAYS
Golden Hair Absolutely Requires
Them, If Beautiful Tint of Tresses
Is TO Be Retained.

Summer time is a time of trial for
the girl with golden hair. Dust and
CRIME collect with disastrous effect
during the summer months, giving a
dull -drab effect to locks which should
have lively luster. What can she
do to bring back the gold? the blonde
asks in despair In nine cases out of
ten she is tempted to turn to the
peroxide bottle, but if she is a wise
girl she knows danger lies that way.
Peroxide dries the scalp dangerously,
makes the hair brittle and easily
broken, and besides imparts an un-
natural yellow to the hair which de-
ceives no one. If your hair is tirab
and dull-looking instead of CLEARING
with gold do not Immediately begin
to doctor it up by applying various
lotions, but first look to the cause of
this lifeless condition. Have you
fallen into the bad habit of washing
your hair at night and going to bed
with it half dry? Or perhaps you

ROOMS DECORATED IN BLACK
New Idea Comes From Vienna and
Reflection VIII Show IL Has Much
to Recommend 1t.

Behold black now as the fashionable
color of the interior decorator. The
liking for it arose in Vienna, where
interior decorating is an art much
thought of. There some of the new
houses. or rooms which have been re-
decorated, show wall papers with black
backgrounds, in which huge, bright
flowers are printed. Carpets, too, are
of black. The idea of this method of
decorating is, apparently. tc make the
room strictly g background for the
furniture and persons in it. The
brightly Powered paper, of couse, de-
tracts from this effect, but the sort of
paper more often used does not have
the bright flowers. 1t shows black
ground, with a gray or misty white
figure:
In a room thus grounded pictures
framed in black are hung. The effect
is startling. The pictures stand out in
reality from their somber surround
ings. White enameled furniture is
looked on with favor for use in black
rooms. Surely such setting would
give the persons in it chance to shine
forth in all the glory of color lent
them by skin and eyes, hair and
clothes. On the other hand, wouldn't
a room so furnished cast a depress-
ing spell on the woman who found
herself shut within its four walls for
many hours in day?
There is an outgrowth of this craze
for black which is interesting, espe-
cially to those who live in apartments
or other crowded quarters, where the
kitchen as well as the other rooms OF
the house comes under occasional in
spection of guests. This is the black
enamaled jar or box for cakes, hread
and grocery supplies of various sorts
it is painted brilliantly with big red
roses, and makes an interesting note
of color. Six boxes or jars of this
sort ranged in orderly array on
shelves give distinctive note to the
the most uninteresting pantry OF
kitchen

LEADER
In Public Utility Its Record
Shows the Baltimore and
Ohio always Is.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 6.-An in
teresting coincidence in connection
with the Inauguration OF the parcels
post system in the United States is
the fact that the first package handls
ed by the ghstottice department Off
cially was. carried to its destination
by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
the first railroad to carry mail in
this county. The silver loving cup
sent by Postmaster General Frank II,
Hitchcock to Postmaster f. NJ. Nor
gan, of New York City, was the first
parcel handled. The cup was en-
cased in a stout wooden box and was
received at the Washington postoffice
in the early hour of New Years morn
ing. The parcel weighed about two
pounds, requiring under the parcels
post regulations seventeen cents in
postage, and with the additional
charge of ten cents for insurance 1t
made total expense OF twenty seven
cents to the postmaster general.
After the necessary postage had
been affixed the postal authorities
were desirous that it should be
started to its destination without de-
lay. The first train to leave Wash
ing for New York after the parcel
had gone through the postofIice was
the st. Louis-New York express OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, which left
the national capital at 2:45 a. m. for
New York. The train carried a pos
tai car as a part of its regular equip
ment, and 1t was in this care that the
first package mail was transported.
The parcel reached New York at
S:32 New Years morning, was turned
over to the postoffice wagons de-
Every and placed on Postmaster Nor
gan's desk. 1t will be inscribed in
Washington and returned to the
