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.

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.

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." Leslie' Weekly

ADVERTISING AN ART. ;.'
Bat It Shoald H Made Art That
Calla Rraaty In Ha Service.
Advertising has Indeed become an
art It remains for It to become. If nut
fine art. at leant an art that call
beauty to Its service. When It does,
much of the energy that Is now mis
directed, much ot the money that I !
now prodigally wasted In destroying i
the world's leanly, will bo saved.
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.
In the same way the forms of ad
vertising that now give exceeding of
fense to the community ought to be
restricted and kept within proper lira-
Its. If tills were effected the practice '
would change from the public Duls-
