PAGE FIVE,
BLONDES ARE TO
Father Prevented Marriage
Af there are a great many people out
of the city, things are rather dull so
cially. However those who are re
maining at home will probably keep
things going until September, when
those away will return, school will
begin, and the round of the year will
continue until next summer's vacation
time. The young women that are in
town are having a good time with auto
rides to the country for supper. The
rain record of the early part of the
season has been discontinued and the
result is that these moonlight nights
are Just the time for country rides.
Porch parties are in vogue and mint
lemonade with cookies or cakes form
a feature of the refreshments. With
the lemonade served in a crystal pitch
er a pretty effect is gained with a
slice of orange astride the rim or with
a cluster of berries hanging on to its
edge. One girl made a clover chain
and draped her lemonade pitcher and
gathered clover corsage bouquets and
jfTxUed them with grasses and placed
t&toa on the guest plates. Nastur
tiutaa, which are now in their glory,
are pretty for this. The saucy midget
sunflowers and coreopsis usually fill
t&e wall pockets for porch parties.

DROP PEV. WILCOX
FROM CHURCH ROLL
More Trouble Follows Former
Pastor of a Church in
This City.
HIS MARRIAGE IS CAUSE
HASTE IN AGAIN SEEKING MATRI
MONY AFTER SECURING Dl
VORCE WAS A VIOLATION OF
CHURCH LAWS.
Because of his hasty marriage fol
lowing his divorce from Mrs. Elsie
Wilcox of this city, the Rev. C. B.
Wilcox, formerly of Decatur, Ind., and
at one time a pastor in this city has
been dropped from the Methodist
church rolls. When a pastor in this
city the Rev. Mr. Wilcox was con
nected with the Fifth Street M. E.
church. At that time he was popular
in the city and well liked by his par
ishoners. Following their marital
troubles, while the minister was lo
cated at Decatur, his wife removed
to this city and makes her home with
a relative.
Only a short time ago, this paper
contained an account of the remarri
age of Mr. Wilcox. He now is located
at St. Louis. Mich., and married a
Decatur woman, who formerly was an
active member of the church at taat
place. She was a social leader and
one of the best known women of the
town. She belonged to the church
choir.
Tenents of Church.
The tenents of the Methodist church
make divorce illegal for any cause
other than adultery. Ministers are
forbidden to marry a person who has
been divorced for any other reason,
if the divorced husband or wife is
living. The law does not apply to the
innocent party to a divorce for the
cause stated nor to divorced parties
seeking to be reunited.
It was to comply with this feature
of church law, that the Rev. Wilcox
was unchurched. The statutory cause
did not enter into his case, so the
church would not recognize the di
vorce. Wilcox can not continue in the
ministry of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Wilcox has been made the re
cipient of a letter from the official
board of the Decatur church. In it
confidence is expressed in her and she
is praised for character and excellent
work while connected with the
church.

New York, Aug. 9. One good thing
about a shirt waist that a young wo
man bought for ninety-eight cents in
Mrs. Anna Wassermann's dry goods
store, No. 179 Grand street, Brook
lyn, yesterday, was $595 that was
wrapped up in it.
Shirt waists, as Mrs. Wassermann
herself said last night, do not come
that way this season as a general
rule, and the young woman who paid
the ninety-eight cents seems to be
well pleased with her exceptionable
bargain. She has not been back for
alterations or an exchange, and last
night Mrs. Wassermann became con
vinced that to continue to expect that
she would come back was to place an
unjustifiable strain on hope, she ask
ed Captain Booley of the Bedford av
enue station to try to find the young
woman.
She Had a Sale.
Mrs. Wassermann had a sale of shirt
waists yesterday and she offered
some really remarkable bargains.
Among them was ?. china silk waist
worjh $2.25 of anybody's money, but
for one day only marked down to ninety-eight
cents." A young, woman
who was a stranger in the store ap
peared yesterday afternoon and fell In
love with the ninety-eight cent bar
gain at once.
When Mrs. Wassermann wrapped It
up she wrapped up with it $595 that
she had placed on the counter prepara
tory to placing it in a bank. She fears
that the bargain hunting young wom
an has placed it in a bank herself
by this time.

which is $2.25, bear such a family re

ing to Boston and start a boarding
house. As he got no reply to his let-
ters, Adolph went a-sleuthing, and
found her finally at 103 West Sixty-1
Eighth street.
Then, donning his regimentals and I
boarding a hansom cab. he called at 1
the house and tapped joyously on her
door.
"Who is it?" came the familiar voice
within.
"It is I, your Adolph: he is here,"
replied the Kriegerbunder, but there
was no answer from within.
His pleadings spurned, Adolph drew
his saber and with a few well chos
en slaches cut the panel from the
door. Mrs. Wollschlager fled to the
fire escape and her screams attracted
a crowd, and as Adolph dashed out of
the house he was captured by a police
man.

home and found that for her ninety-
eight cents she had bought not only a
good shirt waist, but $595 besides; she
had gone forthwith and bought sev-

New York, Aug. 0. A startling note
of warning to blue-eyed, light com-
plexloned New Yorkers is uttered by
Dr. Charles E. Woodruff, surgeon and
major in the United States army, who
has just completed a private tour of
the prisons and asylums of the city
and state. The jails and Institutions.
he says are full of blondes, who. un
able to stand the struggle for existence
In a climate to which they are unfitted
have fallen into poverty, disease and
crime.
What is true of New York, he says.
is true of the country as a whole, and
unless the blonde American finds or
adopts some better means of survival
than he has at present he will be
wiped out as a type in favor of the bru
nette.
The great trouble is the sunshine.
There is too much of it In America
for the blondes, says Dr. Woodruff. It
breaks down their nervous systems.
renders them unstable morally as well
as physically, and makes them pecu
liarly liable to ravages of consump
tion and other deadly ailments.
Prison Full of Blondes.
In Clinton prison, says Dr. Woodruff,
where the worst class of criminals are
confined, and where he expected to
find the place full of modern Mack-
heads he was astonished at the very
Uree number of blondes, some of them
l '
of very light type.
of the 2S3 convicts whose hair wu
available for comparison, there were
nineteen with very light hair, sixty-
one with light brown, sixty-one with
dark brown and 112 with black.
of nearly 5.n men whose average
age was 21, admitted to the Elmira re
formatory Dr. Woodruff found the
types classified themselves as follows
as to their hair: Blonde SIS; red 00
sand v 103: light brown 1.2U3; dark
brown 1,440; black 1.4O0.
Of the 002 aged paupers on Black'
well's island, says Dr. Woodruff, only
one-fourth are native born. Drink has
broken most of them down, and from
this Dr. Woodruff argues that the un
I derlying nervous cause of alcoholism
is far more prevalent in blondes than
in brunettes in New York city,
Blames Light for Alcoholism.
The thirst for alcohol, Dr. Woodruf
says, is merely the expression of a ner
vous weakness acquired under Amer
ica's sunny skies, and resulting from
excessive stimulation of light as one of
a thousand causes
Of ninety paupers in Boston instltu
tions. Dr. Woodruff says he found the
same general trend In a city markedly
more blonde than New York
Thus, he says, unfavorable climatic
factors are causing unfitness for sur
vival the race types in America too
far misplaced from
their ancestral
I climatic conditions.
This process of
elimination among human beings, he
says, differs in no small degree from
that which goes on among Irrigated
plants and lower animals.
The native born, he says furnish the
great majority of the blue-eyed pro-
fessional criminals in New York. In
Clinton prison 82 per cent of the tuber
culosis criminals are native born

Barnum A. Bailey Shows.
The only African black face mandrill
in the show business has cast his lot
with the Barnum and Bailey Greatest

all the colors of the rainbow. When
it prances around its cage displaying
its various hues it reminds one of

named it Joseph's coat.
Another favorite In the menagerie
is Agnes, a sweet little hippopotamus,
as big as hen house and too lazy to
scratch its own back. For novelty,
there is the only rhinocerous in Am
erica, three old specimens of the gir
affe tall enough to eat the house plants
from a second story window box.
South African wart hogs, baby tigers
and a young polar bear.
The menagerie is a complete tool-
ogical garden, embracing everything
in the animal kingdom of Interest.
There are nearl all the elephants in
America on exhibition and great herds
of camels and dromedaries.
In the way of trained animal acts
the show is remarkably attractive.
There are fifteen trained elephants
that present a performance entirely
new and by all means the most won

a company of imported horses from

Kissing Customs.
In ancient Egypt It was considered a
high degree of politeness to kias one's
hand and then place It on the top of
the bead. Men of rank occsslonslly
kissed each other, bat In the land of
the pharaohs men never' dreamed of
kissing women.
They were very careful of kisses la
Borne. If a slave kissed a free wo
man there he was liable to be torn to
pieces by wild horses. The great Cato
promulgated a law making the kissing
of parents before their children a
punishable offense.
The Greeks put to death any man
who kissed a woman or girl la the
public street.
In Austria today a man only kiasea
a woman's band. In Rnasla the fore
