Every one likes to have a good suit of hair, and naturally have it unless there is some scalp trouble or disease at the roots of the hair. When the hair commences to fail or fails to grow there is always a cause—generally in- sufficient nourishment. The hur, like the body. sometimes needs a tonic—something to stimulate the glands. For this purpose Cooper's Hair Success was introduced, with wonderful results. Hundreds have used and recommend it. “Hair Suc is has never failed to stop the hair from fal! out and to cause anew growth. except when | the roots of the hair are dead.

ENTWISLE. Six Hundred School Teachers Wrath- ful Over His Remarks. There are six hundred mad women in town. It is said that the realm of his satanic majesty has no fury like a woman scorned. In this case the one woman is multiplied by six hundred, and the object upon which their combined wrath is about to be poured is the building in- spector, Mr. Entwisle. Remarks which he was quoted by Tue Star as having uttered in ref- erence to the regulation of the temperature of school rooms have stirred the indignation of all the school teachers. He was reported as saying in substance that school teachers had been caught lowering windows and closing reg- isters in order to reduce the temperature to such a point that their schools would have to j be closed for the day and they could get holi- day. chers and school officials with whom a Star reporter talked emphatically denied this. Some of the teachers thought Mr. En- twisle ought to be requested to specify cases and not let the accusation he, makes reflect upon the whole corps of teachers, A _promi- nent school official speaking of the matter said that if teachers erred at all in the matter their tendency was to err on the other side and keep their schools going when they ought to be dis- missed. The competition among teachers to se- enre good records for their schools was so great t ateacher who was obliged to close her school, while others continued their work, did so reluctantly. In some cases they held on until they were actually driven out by the principal or supervising principal. Then, he said, the teachers were asa body.conscientious women, who would not resort to a dishonest measure of the kind described by the building inspector. Teachers, he said, were human and liked a holiday. When there is a general liday and all the schools are closed the teachers rejoiced as much as any other tired workers did, but every teacher was too much interested in her work and her own record to seek a holiday at the expense of the relative standing of her school. Even if there wasa teacher indifferent or dishonest enough to resort to the measure described by Mr. En- | twisle, such a thing could not be done without being detected by the pupils, the principal of the building and the janitor. Teachers and | school officials stung by Mr. Entwisle’s remarks to rather plain speaking have some unpleasant remarks to make on their side. They want to know if it is not possible that the building in- si ctor, who has charge of the heating appli- es of school buildings, has undertaken to divert attention from failures in the working of apparatus due to reglect on the part of some one in his own office by raising his cloud of suspicion over hers. he only recent cases where schools have been closed on account of insufficient heat has been, a buildin where, by order of the Commissioners, har coal had been substituted for soft coal. As the official responsible for the heating apparatus had failed to put in a hard coal grate, it was for d impossible to heat the building suf- lv on a cold day. re exists quite a difference of opinion wen school officials and teachers on the and and the building inspector on the other on the subject of windows and doors. The building inspector issued orders that doors and windows should never be opened for venti- lation. The school authorities, on the other hand. have advised teachers to use common sense in the matter, and when they found the heat becoming to great to lower a window or windows if they thought necessary, always being careful to note the direction of the wind and to avoid dangerous draughts. The school teachers talk of making an appeal in some form to th ‘hool board, so as to secure some em- phatie vindication from the charge made by the building inspector. The Mora Land Grant.

Axsavon’s Oprra Hovse.—It was unusually late when the final curtain fell at this house last night, owning to the repetitions which the audience insisted on having of some of the musical numbers which particularly caught their fancy. The score of ‘‘Lorraine” is well supplied with those catchy airs which at once secure the ear of an audience, notably pleasing being “The Fair Land of Provence,” and the drinking song in the second act. each of which was demanded again and again, Dellinger’s music has not generally the brilliancy or piquancy of the French opera bonffe composers, nor the solid merit of Von Suppe, but it is pleasing and respectable, and ut times, as in the numbers noted, develops qualities that never fail to appeal successfully to the popu- lar ear. The story of “Lorraine” is about of the airy material of which dreams and light | opera ‘books are commonly made and it will not be necessary to tell it here. Miss Laura Moore as Madeline, the heroine, has a very soft and sweet soprano, which she failed to use to the fullest dramatic advantage last night owing Miss Moore's manner of singing shows training of the best kind. She has a winning naturalness of manner which ought, combined with her gifts as a vocalist, to insure her much success in light and romantic opera, Mr. Oudin’s manly voice stirred the honse to much enthusiasm several times, par- ticularly in ‘The Fair Land of. Provence.” Miss Annie Meyers as Olivier had_ much to do both vocally and otherwise, and she did it all with aconscientiousness anda roguish spirit that won her great favor. DeWolf Hopper was as acrobatic and ponderously giddy as usual. Mrs, Laura Joyce-Bell’s kissing song was deservedly redemanded. On Saturday night Col. McCaull’s company will give “Boccaccio” with a ve strong cast, including Hopper and Digby Bell Tue Booru-Barrerr EXGAGEMS e number of Washingtonians witnessed the Booth-Barrett production of “Julius Cesar” at the Holliday-street theater, in Baltimore, last night. The play was exquisitely staged and costumed. Of peculiar interest to the resi- dents of this city was the assumption of the role of Mare Antony. by Mr. Charles B, Han- ford, a young Washingtonian, who has met with distinguished success on the stage. Mr. Hanford gave a forcetul and finished portray of the subtly blunt Roman, and fairly shared the honors with the stars, receiving two calls before the curtain after both the assassination and forum scenes. The Baltimore Sun to-day says: “Mr. Charles Hanford, as Marc Antony, although a young actor, almost divided the honors with his elders, and gave noble promise of a most brilliant career.” The Americdn say “Mr. Chas. Hanford’s Mare Antony car- ried off the honors of the evening. as far as ap- plause was concerned. He was called before the curtain several times after the third and fourth acts, and deserved the hearty demon- strations of favor which he received. His elo- cution was alittle too declamatory occasion- ally, but the oration over the dead body of Caesar, and his scene in the senate after the assassination were full of fire’ and feeling.” The demand for seats in Washington for the Booth-Barrett engagement has been so great that the management announce an extra mati- nee of “Julius Cesar” on Thursday.

HE MAKES A SPEECH AT THE INSTALLATION OF 0. P. MORTON Post. There was a large attendance at the installa- | tion exercises of O, P. Morton Post, No. 4, at Grand Army hall, last night. After Charles H. Douglass, the new commander, and the other ntly elected had been installed, Mr. Frederick Douglass made an address. He paid a tribute to the Grand Army of the Re- public and to the memory of Oliver P. Morton. He said: “Iam not here to fan the flame of sectional animosity, I rejoice in every sign of its extinction. I would, if I could, stamp out every vestige of sectionalism from the political thought and feeling of our country, and only know the nation as awhole, But while this is my feeling and your feeling, and the feeling of the great mass of the American people, we still have to mect the remains of an opposite feeling in the press and in the councils of the nation, We can only meet this feeling by in- fusing a better one. a feeling of oneness, of common interest and common brotherhood. I do not despair of this. Time and events are mighty instructors. They are shaping the fu- ture of the republic to this desiredend, A just and generous policy applied by a firm and un- flinching hand, making the constitution and laws binding alike in all sections of the coun- try, will at last put an end to every form of sec- tionalism except that which competes for the best interests, for the honor and glory of a com- mon country.” a Tatxtxo or Nancorics.—The North Capitol Street M.

It’s easily solved,” said a Belfast man to me the other day as we were chatting in the office of the Windsor. “Do you think so?” I asked. “Certainly.” “How would you eradicate the nuisance?” “Very easily. Let the legislature passa law the coming winter making it compulsory for tramps to bathe twice a day.” ‘ow would arrange for it?” y ey, a shower bath in ever county jail. It would be a cheap investment, because it would drive away the tramps.” “Do you think so?” “Yessir. If that law is passed there won't be a professional tramp in Maine next season.” And perhaps he is right. soe Singular Premonitions. A MAN TWICE SAVES HIS LIFE BY OBEYING Mys- TERIOUS IMPULSES. From the Pittsbung Dispatch, A few minntes after the fall of the Willey build- ing on Wednesday last, while a crowd was gathering to view the ruins in which so many mangled and dead people lay, a stranger who was gazing at the wrecked structures from the opposite side of Wood street entered intoa conversation with a Dispatch reporter. Said he: “For about five years on every week day I have passed along that side of Wood street at about the hour this terrible disaster occurred. To-day I was on my way to 5th avenue, and had reached the chamber of commerce build- ing when a sudden impulse came upon me to take the other side of the street. I crossed over, and before Ireached the sidewalk the crash came. HadI kept along as I was going Iwould have been in front of the Weldin building just in time to be crushed by bricks and falling timber. I can no more account for the action which probably saved my life than you can; I simply felt that I must do it, and I do not know that I felteven a premonition of danger. “Years ago I escaped being robbed and pos- sibly murdered in a way that was equally re- markable, At the time I was a collector in the province of Ontario. One bitter cold winter evening I found myself in a small town about 50 miles from Toronto with a lerge sum of money in my possession, Having determined to go to Toronto that night on the 9 o'clock train I telegraphed to the hotel where I usually stopped, and asked thata room be reserved for me and a fire putin it. When the train came along I got on the front of the smoking-car, walked through the car, through the next one, then got off and went to the telegraph office and sent another message to the Toronto hotel stating that I had changed my mind and was not coming that night. What made me do so was more than I conld tell—the same indefina- ble impulse that controlled me to-day had possession of me. “I went back to the house where I had taken supper and remained there all night. The next morning I read inthe Toronto paper of an as- sault and attempted robbery of a man who had arrived in that city on the train I was going to take but did not. The man was sandbagged while on his way from the depot to the hotel, and from the description given he must have been my exact counterpart—dress, size, color of hair and even the cut of his whiskers being like my own, The thugs had mistaken him for me, and they knew I had money.” ni Aeemsctabncs nit Youne Bratne AN APPRENTICE.—A Waterville, Me., special to the Philadelphia Press last night says: James G. Blaine, jr., began his career to-day as an apprentice in the repair shops of the Maine Central railroad, clad in the regulation overalls, which contrasted strangely with the dainty cigarette which he industri- ously puffed throughout the day. Otherwise his Conduct was in keeping with his chosen work. He arose bright and early and trudged to the shops at 7:30 o'clock like any other ap- rentice. He was first placed under John lis, master workman of the locomotive de- partment, where he will be instructed in the various technicalities of the department. He began work a little awkwardly. His handling of the tools was not, of course, as easy as it might have been, but showed a determination to master the work. No Trace or Gey. Critz.—The friends of Gen.

Field, of Atlantic cable fame, and possesses amind of her own. By way of replying to cer- tain charges of parsimony in viceregal affairs she recently showed the premier of the colony her expense book, which revealed a deficiency of £3,000 between the official salary of the gov- ernor (£5,000) and the cost of maintaining gov- ernment house. Lady Musgrave further told the Queensland premier that if she had not had a large private by her father her late husband and herself would not have been able to keep up even a moderate style of living at government house, After this revelation the rush after colonial overnorships may possibly slacken a little. hat little disappointment of Sir Henry Blake's may, after all, have been a blessing in disguise. eee Growth of Hair After Death. From the Newark Evening News. Aremarkable case of the growth of hair after burial came to light last week at the dis- interment of the body of Amzi Coeyman, who died in Belleville over four years ago and was buried in the old private cemetery of the Coey- man family on the river road. When Mr. Coey- man died his beard was about two inches long, and the hair upon his head was the usual length worn during life. When the coffiin was taken up last weck for re-burial in Mount Pleasant cemetery it was discovered that the beard had grown to the length of two feet, and that the hair upon the head had also grown out from the sides and front of the face, com- pay obscuring the latter from view. When rushed back it was found tl not only the face but also the body were in a remarkable state of preservation. ‘s@e0--- The Difference. From the Springfield Union. “My dear,” said Mr. Thomsonby, after listen- ing for half an hour to Mrs. Thomsonby’s ora- tion on the virtues of getting home a little ear- lier o° nights, “do you know how yon differ from one of these patent detective cameras?” “No, I don't.” “Well, the camera is arranged to shut itself up in three-one hundredths of a second.” Lasr Whister ‘I was troubled #o badly with rheumatism in my right shoulder and joints ofmy leg as not to be able to walk. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and now I don't feel any aches or pains anywhere, and it not only stopped the soreness in my shoulder and joints. but makes me feel as lively as a ten-year-old boy. I sell newspapers right in the middle of the strect every day in the year, and standing on Sie cold stones ain't no picnic, I can tell you. And if Hood’s Sarsaparills cured me it certainly ought to be good for those people who don’t stand on the cold stones. Ican be seen every day in the year at corner Tompkins and DeKalb avenues.
