Month$ and months passed and the frightful! baldness remained. My physician, Pr. Paul Barringer recommended Mrs. Grier's Real Hair Restorer. Determined to give it a fair trial I bought a I half dozen bottles. Three bottles of it "faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one mora ine, soon after beginning the fourth bottle, to our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was tne restoration that nnlv one more bottle was needed. Ten years have elapsed and no one has a finer suit of hair. Less than one bottle is often effectual In checking falling hair. Read Inter esting history of R. H. R. MRS. M. G.

New Jersey Central engrossed the largest share of attention on the stock exchange today and register ed another sensational decline In a long progress downward. On January 19th of this year this stock sold at 103 and on March 1st at 97. Today the stock was sold in large quantities at 69 and the extreme decline for the day was 3 and in two days it has fallen 5 per cent. The trading in the stock was very ani mated, but a large portion of the sales were made " in small lots, many succes sive sales of , 100 share lots being re corded with a decline of or even on each sale. This caused credence to be given to allegations of inside liquida tion which served to help on the decline. For several hours support seemed forth coming for the stock at various stages, Dut me enort was aDandoned after in tervals and it fluctuated irregularly for the rest of the day and down to 69i. closing at 70. The sales for the day num bered 36,700. The depression of such a weight on the market affected the whole list, the other coalers naturally showing the greatest sympathy, as being subject to the same conditions that have im paired New Jersey Central's finances. They closed slightly above the lowest, the extreme declines being Lackawanna, and Delaware and Hudson 2 each. The general 'list from the opening of the market showed the effect of the more serious phase assumed by the Cuban question at Washington. Americans were depressed in London and this was said to be due in part to early sales there on New York orders. New York opened down to about the London parity ; but there were not lacking evidences of re cuperative power In the market during the day, especially in the grangers and the railway list generally, the pc.ss ble developments in the Cuban question being viewed with comparative equanimity. The market was also relieved of yesterday's heavy weight of Chicago Gas sales, the price of that stock rallying to a small extent on the decision of the Illinois legislature to reconsider its adverse vote on the consolidation bill. New Jersey Central and Chicago Gas, together were credited with 67,000 out of a total of 150,009 shares of all stocks sold. With the sales of Burlington, St. Paul, and Delaware and Hudson added to these there were two-thirds of all sales accounted for. Losses of a point occurred in Tennessee Coal and Iron, and United States Leather, preferred, the former on decreased earn ings shown by the April statement and the latter on the unfavorable trade out look. In the late dealings Metropolitan Traction scored a gain of 2 on a judicial decision favorable to the company's right to change the motive power on certain of its lines and affirming that the city's right to take over the tracks at a certain named sum had lapsed through misuse. The railway list moved very narrowly and closed with slight changes. Slight net losses were general throughout the list. The total sale of stocks for the day amounted to 151,901 shares, including Bur lington and Quincy 12.100, Chicago Gas 30,800, Delaware and Hudson 9,600, Man hattan Consolidated 12,200, St. Paul 11,800, Tennessee Coal and Iron 5,500 and New Jersey Central 35,900. Railway bonds were well held during the greater part of the day and some marked gains occurred despite extreme heaviness of the stock market. Toward the close, however, a generally easier tone developed and the value of some of the prominent mortgages were lowered a fraction. Lehigh and Wilkesbarre 5's were exceptionally de pressed 4 per cent, to 75. The aggre gate sales were $854,000. Governments were dull, but steady throughout. The sales were $5,000. Cotton Futures. - (Special to The Messenger.) New York, May 20. Another small . de cline in Liverpool and the continued ab sence of anything like general speculation in cotton resulted In lower prices today The Liverpool report caused a slightly weaker opening here. August selling on the first call at 7.25. The business for the greater part of the day was largely local and August fluctuated between 7.24 and 7.26. In the afternoon a statement from Neill to the effect that the increase in acreage in Texas was large, and that the overflow of the Mississippi would have little or no effect on the crop was-circulated and induced a feeble raid by the bears. August declined to 7.22 and closed at 7.22 to 7.23, with the tone of the market quiet and steady. August contracts ap parently are gradually passing into strong hands, and, while we expect temporarily lower prices, we think it highly impru dent to go short of any of the summer months. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, May 20. The cotton market ooened steadv at a decline of 1 to 3 Doints cables being unsatisfactory and crop ac counts generally favorable. Following the opening call, there was some lrregir larity, with a further decrease of 1 to 5 points, attended by feeble rallies, and finished steady with a net decline of 4 to points. The undertone of the market remains weak, however. Some of today's crop news has been exceptionally bearish although to some extent contradictory Selling was arrested by activity in spot cotton, sales of which reached 5,724 bales including 3,309 bales for export and 2,41o bales for spinning. This led to some cov ering and Bteadied the market for a time, but local sentiment was inclined to be bearish in the absence of speculative competition for cotton, notwithstanding the increasing strength of the statistical position. The Chicago Markets. Chicago, May 20. Wheat made another advance today, after a beginning which was rather unpromising of such a result It was a case of large American crop estimation being pitted against foreign damage reports and the latter proved the stronger, July wheat closing at a to c advance. Corn was helped to the ex tent of about c, while oats closed at c higher. Provisions advanced 2 to 7c. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC.

The republican party came into pow er in the goverment on the distinct issue and pledge of maintaining sound money and reforming the currency sys- . tem. That is what the people who elected MciKinley voted for. Instead of fulfilling the pledge and realizing the expectation of the people, the re- publican party plunges into an orgy of "protection" and gives no thought to the currency or to the relief of the fi nancial situation. This is a breach of faith which, the people resent. Boston Post. The pledge that the republican party is keeping is the one made "to millionaire manufacturers, pools and syndicates, who contributed to the "slush" fund of the recent campaign. This was a serious pledge. The combi nations must be allowed to get even first. Hence a high, robber-raiding protective tariff. Houston Post. The St. Louis Republic seems to be somewhat irritated at the attitude of Senator Jones, of Nevada, in regard to the tariff bill, and complains of it with more feeling than justice. It says that Senator Jones "was, in a measurs, the arbiter of the fate of the bill. He could hold it up and thus throw the republi cans into a most unpleasant position." The" Republic forgets or ignores two or three very important facts. The first is that Senator Jones is not a dem ocrat. He acted with the democrats in the last campaign, not as a democrat, but as a silver republican. The sec ond fact is that Senator Jones is in favor of a high tariff, and he has simply seized a very favorable appor tunity to-impress upon the republicans that western interests are just as im portant to western men as eastern in terests are to the men of the east. Tha third fact, and altogether the most im portant, is that the action of Senator Jones has thrown the republicans into a position which, however they onay regard it, is likely to prove to be the most unpleasant and embarrassing In their history. Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Cleveland was virtuously indig-) nant at the trick practices of the re publicans. He waxed wroth over the fact that he had been deluded into the belief that the republican party had abandoned its protective tariff notions, and that in consequence the patriotism of the gold democrats had, contributed mightily to the "election of Mr. Mc Kinley. 'At first we were quite In clined to Te sympathetic. We are al ways nearly always in sympathy with the victims of misplaced confi dence. "But in this case the sympathy was not fully developed, and even in its Incipient state it was short lived. Almost immediately, after reading Mr. Cleveland's pathetic utterances the ed itorial eye fell upon the following words of Senator Caffery: "Gold dem ocrats never dreamed that the repub lican party would change its errone ous theory of tariff. Can the leopard change his spots or the Ethiopian hia skin?" The sympathetic emotions that were beginning to "bubble in ourheart of hearts, were at once stilled by the question of veracity which presenter! itself.

Under the caption, "Facts About Greece," the (New York Sun is quoted as saying, among other things: "Greece is more thickly,, populated than any other country in Europe with the ex ception of Sweden and Prussia, ' Its present boundary limits were de xernunea Dy an arrangement among Great Britain, France, Russia and Turkey, concluded at Constantinople fin July 21, 1832." We have seen these 'same statements credited, or rather charged, to The Philadelphia Record, The Sun and The Record are two of the best papers In the United States, but these statements show an amount of ignorance that would be surprising in the Squeedunk Squealer. The pres ent limits of Greece were not entirely determined in 1832. Thessaly was an nexed to Greece about forty-five years later. But the statement that Greece Js more densely peopled than any coun try in Europe, except Sweden and Prussia, takes the palm for ignorance, No European countries except .Norway, Sweden, Montenegro, Turkey and Rus sia are so thinly settled asGreecei Bel gium, Great Britain, Portugal, Spain, France, Holland, Switzerland, Germa ny, uenmarK, Austria, servia, s Italy and Roumanla are more thickly set tied.

But if we were to wish for "the next ' democratic senator from North Caro lina" Heaven send him quickly! a career that would commend the praise of men, it would not begin or end with a chase into the White house for "pie." It seems to us that the great reputa tions of the past have not been made in just that way. It occurs to us that none of the great men of the nation whose flashes of eloquence and whose words of wisdom light up the pages of history with an immortal radiance bor rowed any of their brilliancy from an extraordinary capacity for hunting the presidential presence with applications ior piace.

Just think of Captain Bill yelling at the top of his voice so that he can be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land: "Would to God, Georgia and all other states of this union, had such a governor as D. L. Russell." "Daniel" would have made the sentence more enphonious. But this will do for Captain Bill. The thing of utmost joy the idea I see in this exclamatory ebullition of gratitude is this: There are forty-five states "in the union. Say Bill gets $10,000 of the people's money through the governor in four years;- see what a pic-nic he would have with the other forty-five state at $10,000 each for codling him as Governor Russell does. Forty-five state at $10,000 each for four years. " would be just $450,000. I wish Bill could get it out of the republicans." Corres pondent of Raleigh Tribune. Second, there are doubtless senators who have been shaking in their seats lest Chapman might change his mind and give up their names.. It is a life and death matter with them, and if Chapman is all that he seems to be, he has lost no time in charging them the proper price of his admission to the cell. As a reflection upon this last, the jailing of Chapman will- leave . the American people all the more assured of the corruption of that- body a cor ruption so adroitly concealed that not even the honorable men thatsit there", though they are in a great majority, can get at the truth of a charge, which shows a depth of degradation and de fiance hitherto unknown in public life.
