Odd News From Big Cities Stories of Strange Happenings in the IYMI Metropolitan Towns Historic Barn Is Used as a Church P HILADELPHIA. Grace Lutheran I church of Roxborough is erecting a handsome Gothic edifice on the northwest corner of Ridge and Rex borough avoniies. The site is a his toric ono and wns long revered by the older residents for the part taken there during the revolutionary wnr. The old stone dwelling has been de molished , but the largo barn in the rear not only has been preserved , but Is being used as a house of worship whllo the building of the church homo is in progress. Both the barn and the house fig- nred in a cowardly proceeding during" the winter of 1777-1778 , while the Brit ish were In possession of Philadelphia. Washington's army was at Valley Forge , enduring the hardships of-that terrible winter and scouting parties were frequently sent out from the en campment there to the outlying dis tricts of the city. On6 December afternoon , during n snowstorm , a company of Virginia troopers rode down Ridge avenue , then known as the Plymouth road , through Roxbor- Teleohone Now Used for Advertising J GOT W FINEST LINE1 ) N YORK. A number of business NEW houses in New York are using the telephone Instead of circulars for ad vertising purposes. Probably this will meet the approval of Uncle Sam. If adopted wherever practicable it might extensively relieve the strain on the postal service. A retail dry goods merchant receives a consignment of choice laces. It takes only a few min utes to ring up two or three dozen ofhis best customers who would bo especially interested in such goods and ask them to call and examine the laces. The flattery of such an Invita tion appeals strongly to many persons. Oircularlzatlon has been carried to euch an extent that much of its ef fectiveness is frequently lost and many circulars never reach the buyer to whom they are addressed , whereas the telephone call can usually be a direct communication. A haberdasher telephones his patrons to note his I Chicago Hair Industry Is a Big One WONDFR J AM WEARING SOME CHlHAMAHlS , HAIR--- ! ! jpHICAGO. According to the maim- * L ger of ono of Chicago's big "hair factories" his plant is doing a mil lion dollars' worth of business a year. Said Mr. Manager : "Why , the foreign dealers who used to make colonial wigs never began to have the trade \vo have. You can see this letter from a well-known firm rushing us on with an order for 5,000 switches , and those ten band boxes over there contain exactly $30,000 worth of first quality hair all to bo sold to department stores. A wom an up In Wisconsin has made nearly $50,000 simply by selling the hair she Ima bought from country women all over the state. "All hair that Is not Chinese is first quality hair , but 76 per cent , of the false hair now worn is from a China- man's queue second quality hair we call It. When n Chinaman dies or Is sent to prison his queue , which aver ages 40 inches in length , is cut off ough , and , seeing the spacious and Inviting barn , stopped at the house and asked permission of Andrew Wood , the owner , to spend the night In the bnrn. Wood was a patriot , and nt once acceded to the request , urg ing a number of the troopers to spend the night in the house. Midnight passed , and the weary troopers were indulging In dreams of deliverance from their foes and a safe return to their own firesides when suddenly the sentinel detected the approach of a body of horsemen. Ho had scarcely given an alarm when they rushed by him. In a moment the house and barn was the scene of confusion , alarm and disorder. Al ready had some of the Virginia troop ers mounted their horses and were hastening to escape by Care's lane , opposite the house , when the British rushed on to the attack , giving no quarter. Many of the Americans es caped , but those remaining were fallen upon and murdered in cold blood. Grace Lutheran church , after hold ing services in the Roxborough Ly ceum hall , rented the Woods' house , the lower part of which was fitted up as a chapel , with Sunday school rooms on the uppe'r floors. The prop erty was subsequently purchased , the old house torn down and the barn brought into service. and sold at a big auction sale. Our agents bid for it by the pound and then ship directly to us. Over at our laboratory these queues are first thor oughly disinfected , the greatest care being taken , then they are bleached perfectly white and put through a re fining process , which makes them more like the natural hair. After they are dyed the ordinary shades they cease being queues and become 'switches. ' "Then they are put on a hackle , a board set with sharp steel spikes where they are separated into oven lengths. For instance , a 26-incl switch , the popular length , must have every hair precisely 26 inches long. In the average switch thcro are about six different shades of ono color which must bo blended together on the hacklo. "Wo used to get about all of our first quality hair from the peasants of Switzerland. Nine months ago , how ever , the country passed a law forbidding - bidding the women to sell more than one-third of their hair. Wo now buy most of our fine 'cut' hair from Rus sia , hut the demand for It Is so great that where wo last year paid ; $1.90 a pound wo now have to pay $14 a pound. In a good switch there are four ounces of hair. " City Thrives on the Bermuda Onion FOR ME SAM /IHTOWO WOULDN'T 0E ON SAN ANTONIO , Tex. That this city owes its great distinction as a metropolis of the wonderful state of Texas to the Bermuda onion as grown in Rio Grande bottom lands , the resi dents are proud to admit. Seven years ago a man named Nye , who thought he had been cheated in a land trade , asked the agricultural de partment what ho could ralso on the land. It was dry and sandy soil near San Antonio. Bermuda onions , was the answer. This year -the Bermuda onion crop marketed from this dis trict exceeded $2,000,000 In value. As soon as Mr. Nye demonstrated that the so-called desert land near Ran Antonio would return a profit of $ " 03 to $800 an aero In onions , U latest importations in neck scarfs , the newst shirtings or special offers In silk hose , a clipping bureau rings up a prominent financier , tells him his name is mentioned ir. the dailies in connection with an Important rail road deal and asks him to subscribe to the bureau's extremely efficient service ; a dealer In antiques begs that madame will call to examine some rare old Sheffield plate just re ceived. Such attentions have all the excluslveness of a varnishing day in vitation , and It would bo a patron of hardy nerve who would fall to buy. These telephone calls do not cost any more than circularizing , when let ter postage , personally typewritten letters or engraved Invitations ale used , as they must bo in order to je- cure the attention of valuable pa trons. Also they have the merit of be ing tradeablo without a cumbrous "follow-up" system. If a merchant has telephoned Mrs. Van Allyn that he has a few choice Sulu pearls which ho Is reserving for her Inspec tion he knows within a day or two whether or not Mrs. Van Allyn had bought thereof and he need not waste time or money again on unprofitable customers. slightly Irrigated , someone tried cab bage. The cabbage shipped from this district brought $1,000,000 this year. Then other garden truck followed nat urally and this brought back $3- 000,000. When truck growing with river Ir rigation proved successful , an effort was made to get water through bored wells. Artesian wells have added more than a million acres to the cul- tlvatablo land. Of course , as the business grew , San Antonio prospered. From the trading point for a cattle country it became the distributing center for ono of the richest small farming districts in the world. The population of the city wns 37- 673 In 1880 , and In 1900 It had in creased to 52,321. This year the total soared to 9C.G41 , and , with suburbs , it far exceeds the charmed 100,000 mark. The nearest rival in Texas is Dallas , with 92,101. What gives the greatest joy locally is that eight yeKrs ago all Texas was saying that San Antonio had reached its limit.
