THE K1C1131UXD PALLADIUM AXD SUS-TELEUHA3I, FRIDAY,
SCARE IS QUITE GENERAL
AND IN CHICAGO THE DEPART
MENT STORES ARE ANXIOUS TO
GET RID OF THEIR SUPPLY OF
FALSE HAIR.
You Richmond girls who wear "rats"
in your hair (and there are quite a
few) beware, for it is believed that
dreadful diseases are contracted by
the mere wearing of the little beauty
adorners. The report comes from
Warsaw. Indiana, that a woman in the
neighborhood of North Webster, is
afflicted with leprosy, and it is be
lieved that the most terrible disease
Known was contracted simply by the
wearing of "rats" in her hair. It has
been impossible to verify the rumor
or ascertain the name of the woman.
it in said that a similar case exists in
Chicago and another in Detroit. In
both cases the origin of this incurable
tlisease is attributed to the wearing
of false hair.
So rapidly have the reports spread
that large department stores in Chica
go are now offering their entire sup
ply of hair goods at a greatly reduced
price it is said, believing that a move
ment will soon be started to do away
with the wearing of rats and false
switches, altogether.
An Undesirable Fad,
The present stylo of hair dressing,
which was started In a modest way
several years ago, has reached a stage
where practically every woman feels
that her hirsute appendage is incom
pletc without a great quantity of false
hair. At first the new style of hair
dressing was scoffed at by the more
sensible women, but today these same
women are slaves of the fad. The
idea of wearing "rats" was undoubt
edly conceived for the benefit of girls
and women who were somewhat shy
on natural hair, but the mania for
bushy heads grew so rapidly that soon
they were all stuffing in rats and pil
ing false hair on top. The practice
not only offers the opportunity of con
tracting contagious diseases, but is un
healthy it 1h said, and causes the fall
ing out of natural hair.
It is Bald that a young girl, whose
homo is near Greenfield, has recently
broken out with a skin disease, as the
result of wearing false hair and the re
port is current that she is. suffering
from leprosy.
Efforts to establish her identity have
been futile up to the present time, but
the mere rumors in this regard recent
ly furnish food for thought for the lo
cal girls who would have bushy heads
and give heed to the danger that re
sults from tho practice so frequently
indulged in.

Managua, Feb. 11. Managua is in
a panic as the result of the capture of
the steamer Managua by a band of
rebels. Fearing an attempt to bom
bard the city, machine guns and heav
ier field pieces today were stationed
on the shore of the lake.
Arrests in connection with the seiz
ure of the vessel were made today.
Relatives of Alexander Solorzano, who
headed the capturing party, are under
arrest or surveillance, and the auth
orities are making every effort to find
those who furnished the conspirators
with woman's clothing, in which some
of them succeeded in getting aboard
the vessel and aiding the rest of the
party by advance work. The radicals
refuse to credit the government re
port that three of the plotters were
killed when the ship was fired on as
she drew away from the shore.

PEOPLE TOO WISE TO FOOL
SPEAKER TURNS LINCOLN'S FAM
OUS PHRASE APTLY IN A COM
PLIMENT TO PUBLISHERS' IN
TELLIGENCE. Indianapolis, Feb. 11. Senator Al
bert J. Beveridge found a new turn to
the old Lincoln aphorism, "'You can :
fool all of the people some of the time, j
you can fool some of the people all of !
the time, but you can't fool all of the !
people all of the time," at the banquet ,
of the Indiana Republican Editorial as-!
sociation last night in the Claypool
hotel. As Senator Beveridge stated it I
in one of his most stirring and Vigor- j
ous efforts, "nobody can fool all the
people any of the time." With this as j
a premise his advice to the republican j
editors of the state was to tell the
truth and let the democrats try to fool ,
the people if they cared to. The ad- I
vice struck a responsive chord and the
hearers applauded the sentiment igui-.
ously. J
"I do not believe that the American i
people are following leaders." said
Senator Beveridge. "I do not believe
that any group of leaders controls vot
ers, but that voters are controlled by
that great leader of the universe, con
science and judgment. I'pon this
conception of the political party let us
go to the people as our fathers did
when this party was founded, upon
ideals so high that factionalism could
not be seen from the supreme heights.
Urges Truthfulness,
"Some person asked me what I
thought the policies of the newspaper
men ought to be. I gave it consider
able thought and the best I could do
for a suggestion along that line was
this-I think your policy is to tell the
truth. Leave it to the opposition
press to play little politics. Leave the
little personal falsehoods to them. That
will lose them the confidence of men
and women and discredit them in their
fight.

CHILD STODY TALKS
Will Be Given by Prof. Birch of
Springfield, in This
City.
A FOUR LECTURE SERIES
An interesting course of lectures on
"Child Study" has been announced
and will be given by Prof. T. B. Birch.
Ph. D. of Wittenberg College, Spring
field, O., in the Sunday school audi
torium of the First English Lutheran
church, beginning Monday at 7:43 p.
m. and continuing for four successive
Monday evenings.
This series of lectures is an appli
cation of the University Extension
principle to Religious Education.
Touching as it does the very heart of
home problems as well as the basis of
all school work, it promises to be of
particular interest and value to par
ents and teachers as well as older
scholars.
It is alleged that if parents and
teachers would study the children
more, juvenile courts and reformator
ies would have less business and
schools and churches would be more
prosperous and successful.
Prof. Birch, while a specialist in
this department of work, has the fine
art of making Intensely interesting
and profitable this line of study to the
average man and woman.
This course promises to be very
popular with workers in home, school,
and church, and all will be wrelcome
to participate in the advantages of
fered on equal terms.

SURPRISE TO SMART SET
NEVER A RUMOR OF THE EN
GAGEMENT WAS HEARD HAP
PY MAN HAS CABLED THE NEWS
TO HIS FATHER.
Xew York. Feb. 11.- Society here and
abroad will be greatly interested in and
not a little surprised at the engage
ment announced by Mrs. Henry Addi
son Alexander of her daughter. Miss
Eleanor Butler Alexander and Theo
dore Roosevelt. Jr., eldest son of Col
onel and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.
While young Mr. Roosevelt has fre
quently been a guest at the entertain
ments of the season, there has never
been a rumor of an engagement.
Miss Alexander is the only daughter
of Mrs. Alexander, whose home is at
Ko. 4i' West Forty-seventh street. She
was introduced to society two years
ago and was at that time a member of
ihe Junior League, and had a promi
nent part in the entertainment given
ihat year at the Plaza. She has trav
eled extensively with her mother in
Europe, and in the last two summers
ni this country they visited the Yel
lowstone Park. Alaska and points of
interest on the Pacific slope.
Seldom in Washington.
Mr. Roosevelt, during the years
when his father was president, was
seldom in Washington, except in his
holidays from school and at Harvard.
Soon after leaving the university he
went to Thompsonviile. Conn., to learn
the technical part of the carpet indus
try from its beginning. When in Xew
York state he lives at the family coun
try place at Oyster Bay.
Miss Alexander is a great friend of
her fiancee's sister. Miss Ethel Roose
velt, and she frequently visited her at
the White House.
While, no date has been mentioned
for the wedding, it will not take place
before the return of Colonel Roosevelt
from his shooting trip in Africa, which
will be about the middle of June.
Miss Alexander is l'l years old. Her
father. Henry Addison Alexander, was
formerly a prominent New York law-
Pr
but now resides in Pans, where
or several years he has been counsel

course, we shan't be married until he
gets home from Africa, but it's t rue i
we are going to be married, all right

young couple tonight at the home of
Mrs. Alexander.
S PUBLIC HOLIDAY
Saloons and Banks in This
City Will Be Closed Tight
Tomorrow.
INVESTIGATION IS MADE
Is tomorrow, Lincoln's birthday, a
ega noidavv
There seems to be some question in
regards to the matter in the minds of
the city officials. The doubt was oc
casioned by the discovery of Mayor
Shank of Indianapolis, who in looking
over the Indiana statutes, found that
the days to be known in Indiana as
legal holidays for public offices left
February Li out of the reckoning. The
mistake was doubtless simply an over
sight, but however, the fact that that
date is left out makes it illegal it is
said, to close municipal offices on that
day.
An attorney stated that he had look
ed up the law on the subject and de
clared that Lincoln's birthday is a le
gal holiday insofar as the issuing of
" " . " Vindn, nis chief counselors today. There
commercial papers and the closing of

However, he states, another
statute does not provide for a legal
holiday on this date In respect to the
closing of public offices.

but few changes in the officers and
very slight, if any, change in the pol
icy of this summer's affair.
