THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground Jeffersonian of the Democracy, Republic. simple,
pure and
is good enough for tlie Star. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the government from
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in our national aflairs,
and of continued national trnnqnility and
prosperity. For Democracy
people who like that sort of
the Star is’ the paper to read.
Tlie Stab stands squarely ou the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and chan*
pioued by tlie Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nually from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose bnt invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is l ure and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
cque Edglish, and mighty interesting read
ing they are.
The Sunday Star is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the saint
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hvu
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s
delightful letters are of its choice offerings,
Many of the best known men and women in
literature and art are represented in its col
umns,
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w >rld over, with
special features which make it the mos
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, the business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for k his dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

A3 A HAIR GROOMER.
Dow One Woman Earns a Livelihood.
Care of the Hair—Trimming.
The names of tlie occupations which
refined women in reduced circumstances
are seeking nowadays are legion, ’fho
field of type writing, stenography and
telegraphy has long been crowded by
women who have to earn their own liv¬
ing and the living of families, and who
cannot do manual labor. Places as pri¬
vate secretaries, all sorts of clerkships In
shops and business offices, “traveling
agencies," editorships, employments by
the score have been added to that which
twenty-five years ago was almost the
only occupation in which a refined
woman thrown upon her own resources
could engage—that of teaching children.
There are women now who even write
for the papers, and have attained fame
as reporters, tramping about town at all
hours and in all sorts of weather. A re-
pooter was Introduced by a friend, the
other day, to a lady who was earning a
very comfortable livelihood as a hair
groomer.
‘‘I’m not a hairdresser,” she said, “I'm
a hair groomer. I don’t do up hair at
alL I only comb the hair and give it
that general attention which every
woman’s hair demands two or three
times a week. There are lots of women
in the city who are in this business and
who would scorn to call themselves pro¬
fessional hairdressers. ”
She was an elderly lady, tall and slen¬
der, and dressed neatly and with excel¬
lent taste in black. Her manners were
gentle and refined. Her face had that
dark, quiet look seen on the faces of in¬
valids or of women who had a good deal
of suffering. She was living in a re¬
spectable boarding house.
“I was cornered and I had to do It,”
she said. "I had to earn my living sud¬
denly, and the only way I could think of
to do bo at my age was to care for
women’s hair. My mother was for years
an invalid. She had beautiful hair, and
it used to soothe and quiet her to have
me comb her hair and stroke it softly.
In this way I learned to care for the hair,
especially that of nervous women. There
are a great many women, of course, of
the so called upper classes who can’t
afford to keep maids and yet who want
their hair cared for regularly. They
don’t like to have professional hair¬
dressers around them, either. It is to
such women I look for my patronage.
“What do I do to the hair? Well,
first I rub it dry with a soft and then
with a hard brush. I don’t put a lot of
water and ‘cleaning stuff’ upon the hair
at first as some do, but after I have the
dandruff all out, I wet the hair with a
simple solution which I know to be effec¬
tive and not deleterious; then I rub and
brush the hair dry again. Next comes
the trimming. I pull out the gray hairs
one by one, taking care to pull them so
that the scalp is not lacerated, and the
hair cells themselves destroyed. There
is a great art in pulling out hairs. You
must pull them in the direction in which
they lie in the scalp just as you would a
sliver of wood from your hand, Men in the
direction in which it entered. or
women can’t pull out their gray hairs
themselves, for it is utterly impossible
for them to see that they are pulling the
hairs out on the proper slant. Of course,
you know that people are very touchy on
the subject of gray hairs in their heads.
It makes a woman have the blues for a
week when her first gray hairs come.
Now, when gray hairs are the result of
age I never meddle with them; the only
thing to do is to let them come. But
they are often the result of sickness
or some other little trouble, and it is
then often possible to prevent their com¬
ing. Baldness is to be doctored in just
the same way. I can never cure, though,
and nobody can cure the baldness of peo¬
ple, like accountants and others, accus¬
tomed to work all day with the glare and
heat of gaslights or electric lights their beating
down upon their heads. In cases
the hair cells have been literally burnt
out.
“Well, finally, I trim the hair. I cut
each individual hair separately so When as to
make it even with the others.
the hair is gathered up in the hand and
cut square across in a lump, as it were,
with the scissors, the straggling hairs are
not reached. The result is only to make
the hair shorter and quite hair as simply uneven and as
before. Then I part the
do it up plainly. their hair As done I told you, in if
women want up any
of the fancy styles they mustn’t come
to me.
“How much does it pay me? Well, I
generally think I ought to get (1, at
least, each time I visit a lady’s house.
a lady lives a great way up town and
takes me all the afternoon or morning
go up and seo her, I want more money, of
course. And, on the contrary, when
or three patrons live near each other,
why, I can moderate the price a little
each one. It is a humble way of
a liviDg, I know, but it is respectable,
and I shall stick to it.”—New York Sun.

GEORGIA'S CLIMATE.
This State Declared to be the World's
Sanatarium.
Paris, France, wag recently the
scene of a convention, which, thongh
its progress was comparatively un¬
noticed, was of the deepest interest
to thousands of unfortunates afflict
ed with that dread disease—conaump
tion.
It was the first international tuber
culosis congress and nearly 500
physicians from all parts of the
world were in attendance The sole
subject under discussion was tuber
culosis and many new and valuable
ideas were expressed as to its cause
aud removal. Although one and all
confessed that so far as pure medi
cine is concerned no effective remedy;
has been discovered that were equally
strenous in the belief that pure air
and proper nutrition were, at pre
sent, the only agents capable of stay
ing the devastation of the disease.
Dr. R. C. M. Page, professor in
the New York Polyclinic, and one
the vice presidents of the congress,
said in an interview:
“A specific against tuberculosis is
still to be found. At present we are
oblidged to base our treatment upon
climate, food and medicine: The
latter is still powerless to do more
than afford a temporary relief,
As regards food, the great concern
is that it be nourishing, easy assimi¬
lated and that milk, the sheet anchor
of consumptive diet, be free from
the germs of tuberculosis. There re
mains the olimatio
chief hope. If change of air will
not cure the consumptive, the
can do little. If the patient
heart complications with’ lung
bles, by no means send him
ligh altitudes, or he will
die. Do not send him either to Flori
da, where damp fogs are pretty
tain to do serious harm. Choose
rather among low, dry altitudes, in
sine wood region, where the air
charged derivatives of turpentine.
‘•I refer to places, of which
are plenty in Georgia from
nah to the southwest corner of
State. Thomasvillo and other
are extremely beneficial in their
sults.”
Other American physicians
cided with Dr. Pages opinion as
Georgia, and all considered it a
sanitarium for lung diseases.
The many remarkable cures Hood’s
parillo accomplishes are snflioient
that it doe* possess peonliar curative pow
ers. (4)
THE REASON OF IT.
Why Trains Leave In the Morning
Evening is Explained.
It is a fact that in all tie large
the through railroads trains start
early in the morning or in the
ing. This is nearly altogether
case in Griffin. A railroad
gave the following explanation
terday: That is because business
as a rule prefer to travel at
while, on the contrary those in
of pleasure, and ladies who are
ing alone and for considerable
ces had rather make their
in the morning. And the mail
something !o do with it. The
trains take ‘he day mail, though
great deal more of mail is
at the postoffice after the
of tne night trains, and this is
by the morning trains.

The Shadow on Jacksonville.
Rome Tribune.
There is not a heart in Home that,
does not go out in sympathy to the
people sitting under the shadow of
a great dread in Florida.
If there is a brave and plucky city
in the south, it is that fair peninsular
metropolis now heavily afflicted. The
history of Jacksonville has been a bis
tory of struggle against adversb con
ditions, of vigorous enterprise, and
determined effort. Its citizens have
long since buried all private factions
in the broad spirit of a common pur
pose for the general good, and even
against difficulties the city has pros
pered and grown, until it is one of
the most beautiful and attractive in
the south. Its people are brave, gen
erous, cordi >! and hospitable to a de
gree.
But the outlook is sorrowful, be
yond statement, for Jacksonville now.
All through the winter»months the
germs of this yellow scourge have
smouldered in the state with sporad
ic cases breaking out here and there,
even in January, to prove tbo readi
ness of the atmosphere for tho epi
demic. Every effort at sanitation
has been faithfully expended, and it
it is doubtful if there is a cleaner
city in the world today. But at
last the fevor, under climatic invita
tion. has triumphed over all precau
tions and secured a firm foothold
in the very heart of the city.
It is only tho beginningof August,
aud the fever has fivo months to
run!
Think what a terribie siege this
may be to the lives, property and
prospects of this heroic poople.
With commerce practically suspen
ded, trade dead; with streets desert
ed and dull; with dread in every
household and apprehensions the
gloomy companion of every hour;
with loved ones in constant danger,
and the dead cart moving in horrible
regularity through the mournful
streets, while long weary days and
nights of watching and uncertainty
haunt every household, and shadow
• every home.
It is a picture of suffering sorrow
ful enough to evoke the sympathies
of every Christian heart in Rome,
and ou this beautiful Sabbalh day, as
our people gather in the several
churches to thank God for all the
mercies which come with Bis bene
diction upon this beautiful and fav
ored city, let them not forget their
prayers for the people in the shad
ow—aye, and in the very valley of
death.
And don’t depend on the pulpit
!?>r all the expression. Bye and bye
the people of Florida’s metropolis
may ueed something else. At pres
ent they ueed only sympathy and
prayers.
May God bless Jacksonville, and
lift speedily the gloom that has set
tied upon her people.
