died, be w ill be re-appointed by one
of the members from Louisiana and a
special bill presented, which, if paed,

officer of the navy. It has become
known that Meriwether was ac
quitted on the charge of manslaughter,
but wrms found guilty of infringements
of the rules and regulations of tie
naval academy which are of sufficient
seriousness to warrant bis dismissal.
The case is now in the hands of the
Secretary of the JCavy who probably
will reach his conclusion in a few days.
It is quite possible that Meriwethen
may be allowed to stay at Annapolis,
but if that course of action is follow
ed by the authorities he undoubtedly
will be given some severe punishment,
possibly by being dropped back a year.
Whether be is punished or not in this
manner, it is likely Meriwether will
lose a year, provided he is permitted to

It ia th rarest thing" In the world for
a man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hatr la not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Kewtro's Herpl
ctde, the new acalp antiseptic. Herpl
clde destroys the germ that cuts the half
off at the root; and cleans the acalp of
dandruff and leaves It in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont., was en
tirely bald. In less than a month Herbi
cide had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did ita work by cov
