WASHINGTON, April 30, The House resumed the tariff grind to-day with the expectation of sitting until 11 o’clock to-night. Majority Leader Underwood is confident the bill can be passed by Thursday week, and he is determined to keep the legislative wheels in motion until the marathon orators capitulate. Democratic mem bers are taking only a perfunctory in terest in the proceedings, and most of the debate comes from the Repub lican side of the House. It was predicted to-day that when the agricultural schedule is reported the Ways and Means Committee will accept an amendment putting cattle on the free list. Meat already has been made free and there has been a strong agitation for free cattle. The committee has heretofore fav ored a duty on cattle by the narrow rfiargin of one vote, and it was re ported several of the committeemen had expressed a change of heart.

NEGRO PUGILIST ON TRIAL AS A SLAVER This “Cop” is Friend Of the Children. “There is a policeman in Atlanta,” said a business man on the car this morning, “who certainly has made a hit with children living on his beat. He carries a big jackknife that he’s al ways ready to lend to any boy; has a key to tighten roller skates and arbi trates childish disputes in the neigh borhood. The children obey him to the very letter. He never has any trouble with them, and their mothers have just about turned the matter of training over to this good natured officer. “Not long ago this policeman fell ill and there was consternation among the children on his beat. The second day he was missing from his old haunts a delegation of boys and girls, each with a small bouquet, called at the sick of ficer’s home with a message of hope that he would soon be well. And he told me yesterday that his recovery from that time was rapid. I think it would break his heart If he should be transferred to some other beat. He’s married and Bad two children, but both of them died, and I suppose that is why he Is so fond of the youngsters on his beat. He calls them all “his kids,” and they look up to him as they would a big brother of whom they are very fond.” He Drew the Line At Foreman’s Dog. While waiting for the curtain to ring up on the first number, one of the comedians at the Forsyth this week told this story in the green room last night: “Pat had been at work for three days digging a well, and as the foreman wanted it finished within the week he had promised Pat another man to help him. It was getting on to 11 o’clock, and Towser, the foreman's bulldog, was looking over the edge of the pit, when Pat said to himself. ‘I’ll have a smoke.’ “He had filled his pipe and was about to light It. when he glanced up and be held Towser’s handsome features. “Slowly removing his pipe from his mouth, he said: “ ‘Be-gorra. Oi’ve wor-rked wid Ger mans and Hoongarians and Oi-ve worked wid oitalians. but If a man wid a face like that comes down here to w'ork be side me Oi gets up.’ ” Judge Swooned At This Answer. When Atlanta lawyers get together at the court house a good many anec dotes and humorous stories are told. Here’s one that a well known attorney told the other morning while waiting for court to open: “Taking the witness in hand the law yer for the defense cast upon him the piercing eye and asked: “ ‘Did you have your nails polished by a blonde lady on Tuesday morning?’ “ ‘I refuse to answer,’ was the prompt reply of the witness. ‘ ‘Didn’t you have your hands mas saged by the same blonde lady on Wed nesday afternoon?’ was the next ques tion of the lawyer. “ ‘I refuse to answer,’ said the wit ness, emphatically. “ ‘Didn’t you have your nails polished by the same blonde lady on Thursday afternoon?’ persisted the lawyer. “ ‘I refuse to answer,’ came defiantly from the witness. “ ‘Just a moment.’ interjected the judge, with a stern glance at the wit ness. ‘Why do you refuse to answer?’ “ ‘Because,’ was the smiling reply of the witness, ‘he asks to'o manicurious questions.’ ” Conspiracy Similar to That Which Resulted in King Manuel’s Overthrow Exposed. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MADRID, April 30.—A conspiracy in the Portuguese navy, similar to that which resulted in the overthrow of King Manuel and the setting up of a republic in Portugal, was discovered to-day, according to a telegram from Lisbon. Seven sailors on board the Portu guese cruiser S.io Gabriel in the Te- gus Harbor were arrested while try ing to signal friends on shore, and later one of them confessed that a plot existed to turn the navy into the hands of the royalists. A Government message said that order had been restored, following three days of intermittent, rioting, but admitted that the situation still is critical. Shortly after midnight a number of small boats filled with armed civilians surrounded th e cruiser Republica and attempted to rescue the military ahd political prisoners on board. Sentries on the ship fired upon the would-be rescuers and the boats drew off in disorder. ‘Flat Sweet Flat' Can’t Bring Tears Department Children Miss Sweetness of ’Home, Sweet Home.'

Approaching Baldness May be Checked By Using: Herpi cide* The above expression is one which is used frequently in connection with hair preparations. Just exactly what is meant by It in euch instance is a question. Baldness is not a disease and hence does not permit of a cure. It is a result Invariably to be traced to the dandruff germ and if the con dition has become chronic, that Is. if there is complete atrophy of the hair follicles, a “cure" is absolutely im possible. _ „ Approaching baldness, seen in fall ing hair, may always be checked and if the hair follicles are not atrophied the hair may be induced again to grow. This is accomplished by regular applications of Newbro’s Herpicide, which cleanses the scalp and elimi nates the dandruff. Checking the ac cumulations of scarf skin removes the most common enemy to beautiful hair. Soft, glossy, fluffy hair can not grow on a scalp infested with dan druff any more than a delicate plant can grow on an ash heap. The scalp must be kept clean and free from dandruff. The best remedy for do ing this is Newbro’s Herpicide, which receives the highest indorsements from professional men, the stage and the best people everywhere. Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and $1 sizes is sold by all dealers who guar antee it to do all that is claimed. If you are not satisfied your money will be refunded.
