(Continued from page 1) party to effect some sort of a com promise before the approaching pri maries? These are questions which have been asked in Washington with growing frequency of late and which have found echo in many sections. From the attitude assumed by Sena tor Foraker in expressing surprise at the Secretary of War's assumption of all the blame for the party's schism in the Buckeye State, it would seem as if any overtures for such a compro mise must come from the Taft forces. The kindly feeling for Mr. Foraker which the War Secretary indicated in the course of his remarks at the recent dinner held in his honor by the mem bers of Ohio's Republican delegation in congress led some to believe that f the Taft people would not exactly re ject any peace overture which might come from the Fbrakcr - men. But when the senator was interviewed and expressed his surprise at learning that Taft, not the president, was to blame for the present condition of affairs, and said that aparently there was no thing but a fight to the end, the belief that some peace pact might be effect ed wa.s dissipated in many quarters. However, the other candidates for the highest place on the ticket of the Re publican party are chuckling with glee over the Ohio situation. Speaker Cannon still maintains a profound silence, but the strong and oft-repeated assertions that I Hi noise will send a solid Cannon delegation . to the June convention are giving more strength to his boom. Secretary Metcalf has said "Play ball!", and there's an end to it. The cabinet members who holds down the navy portfolio has ruled that if the enlisted men of 'his branch of the service want to engage in baseball games on Sunday they may do-so to their hearts' content. Recently a number of Philadelphians retained a lawyer and desired him to makej formal complaints to the Xavy Depart . ment against the practice of the sail ors and marines stationed at the League Island navy yard in puling offj ball game on Sundays. In their com plaint they also drew attention to the fact that this practise was in direct violation of the Pennsylvania laws. However, after going into the merits of the case the Secretary rendered bis decision as above, pointing out that it is the policy of the Depart ment to encourage as far as possible all such atheltics on the part of the enlisted men. He informed his cor respondents that jurisdiction of league Island recently was acquired by the federal government, with the con sent of the State legislature, and that therefore Sunday ball games on the reservation are not in violation of any law. He has directed, however, that the general public hereafter be ex eluded from the yard during the play wg of. such Sunday games, so that the residents of Philadelphia will not now be able to tell whether the Sab bath is being desecrated unless they ascend the tower of the City Hall or go up in a balloon. THAW TRIAL IS FINISHED. (Continued from psgs 1) Jerome has attempted to belittle and discredit all the testimony having to do with Thaw's irrationality. He has attempted to show that the youthful outbursts of the defendant were fits of temper which deserved "spanking," as he expressed it, rather than scien titic discussion. He has attempted to discredit the outbreaks in his later life -with the suggestion that they were the result of too much drink and nothing more. SUPREME COURT DECISION.

REAL ESTATE SLOW. NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Specula tive operations in real estate in this city and many others, according to leading operators, will be small in volume until what are considered the more legitimate demands for cash of the mortgage borrowers are satis fied. Mortgagors in this city alone v ho are pressed to renew their loans or to get new loans need nearly $30, 000,000. During the next few months, while the surplus money is being taken for urgent requirements, rates will be strong. Later it is expected they will get lower when the pressure from necessary sources will be relieved. tine Kcceipt For Colds, .

WEARING A WIQ. EQUAL SUFFRAGE. NEW YORK, Jan. 28,-New York women who arc interested in obtain ing for themselves the right to vote are planning a monster stree parade m order to show their strength. Th recent visit of representatives of the "Militant Suffragists" of England, has created renewed interest among tne advocates of equal suffrage in .'vv, mm aim several open air meetings have been held in Madison Square Garden at which women have sponen in support ot their cause. At a general meeting to be held today arrangements will be made for the parade which is in contemplation.

For two centuries we have been cry ing "Encore I" nt the end of a song, where a Frenchman never says it, his own equivalent for it strangely being the Latin "Bis!" And "on the tapis" appears In English far more often than la French, and misunderstood at that, since It does not mean "on the carpet," but on the tablecloth of the council table for discussion. London Chron) ele. A Help to the Health of Thorn With Bald Head. An eminent American who while la Paris consulted a famous physician of that city to ascertain If there was any remedy far baldness was told by the doctor that the best thlug to do was to wear a toupee or wig. The American said that ho alwuys regarded the wear fag of a wig as an evidence of a man's vanity, but he was quite surprised when the French physician replied: "You are quits mistaken. The wearing of a wig Is regarded by those who have carefully studied the subject of health as a beneficent safeminrd. A man who from any cause has lost a go id part of bis hair uualiy lows It some time aft r middle life, when bis vitality begin to ebb. l'ou must hear in mlud that th scalp Is filled with myriads of blood vessels, and when It Is exposed with out the covering that nature Intended to give it a mnn Is apt to suffer from BUdden and acute attacks of cold, ca tarrh and Influi'Wta. I have often pre scribed the wearing of a toupee or wig to a patient who has come tt me com plaining of his susceptibility to colds, and In nine eases out of tea after the wig has been worn the susceptibility has ceased at once. Many eases of deafness I have traced to colds con stantly reclining In those who have lost their hair and who have provided no substitute fur nature's covering. Some cases of chronic sore throat are traceable to the same cause. In some Instances patients milTering from tu bereulosis of the lungs In the carlj stapes have found decided protection from colds by wearing a wig. Tbaso who need to wear a wig and will not do so must be regarded us victims of vanity rather than th we wiio, accept lng tup Inevitable, make the best of their misfortune, for I regard baldness as nothing less than a misfortune to any man or woman."

The right procedure Is Indicated by i the most cousplcuous medium for pub-' 11c auvertiBiug. The press, Id Its dally, weekly or monthly forms, offers alto gether the best means for calling pub lic attention to all sorts of things. The best of public Journals tboso which are recognized as the most doslrablo mediums for advertising and which consequently obtain the highest prices for their services-make It a rule to classify and restrict In a Judicious manner the advertisements tbut they print They conflne them to certain parts of the publication, they restrict their display to certain decorous styles of type, recognizing that to admit n helter ttdter distribution through all columns or to display them In Incoher ent fashion according to the whims of the advertisers would lurgely destroy the very objects held In view. The readers of these Journnls would resent the Intrusion of advertising matter In to the spnee set apart for news, edi torials, etc.. and the Influence that gives the advertising Its value would decline.
