Singular Features C’onreruing < oxey ami 11 is Band -Evidence of Minds “dangled and Out of Tune**—The “Paragorical Panorama” The Great Unknown. [Special Correspondence.] Pittsburo, April 5.—Coxey’s “On to Washiniftou’’ procession of a liiuidftii of tramps and some scores of newspaper reporters which began on Easter Sunday at Massillon, O., has undoubtedy furnished the most extraordinary spectacle i of the present day. It has been iiecompanied by very many amusing incidents, and if it were not for the fact that the whole scheme possesses a serious, not to say dangerous, side there would be nothing about it that is not laughable.

COXEY.
ly a lunatic and very likely a very dunjjerous one. He is far more dangerous than Carl Browne, his chief marshal, for Browne gives visible evidence of 1 icing insane, while to the superficial observer Coxey seems to lie rational. He is of a singularly engaging and cheerful makeup, not prone to indulge in extravagant talk, neat in person and in dress, and what he says on any subject is likely to receive respectful attention. The fact that for years he has been conuted a successful business man has added weight to his propositions and has had all to do with whatever countenance his scheme has received from sensible persons. Need of Ret ter ItoariH. There is nothing extravagantly ridiculous about his notions regarding the wagon roads of the country. In fact, no person of sense disagrees with his con- ( tention that first class roads are essential to the thorough development of the business and social possibilities of the United States. No one denies either that if the government were to build the roads and begin now vast numbers of men at pres- | ent unemployed would have plenty of work to do. Coxey's plan of raising the i money to pay for the work by the issuing of millions of fiat currency seems the height of folly to some, but is not at all objectionable to those who hold that a reserve of gold or silver is not needed as a guarantee of the genuineness of the nation's circulating medium. If Mr. i Coxey had confined his efforts to the ; propagation of these two ideas, he would ) undoubtedly have secured—iu fact, he has already secured—the adherence of a very large number of earnest and in the main sensible persons. It was probably the joining of Carl Browne’s fortunes with his that switched Coxey upon the track which hits developed the preposterous procession of tramps that begun on Easter Sunday. Browne is crazy. I cannot understand how anyone can talk with him as I have done repeatedly during the present remarkable parade of ne'er do wells without agreeing with me in this conclusion. One look at the impossible pictures and sacrilegious mottoes which are held aloft ou poles by the tramps who are following Coxey would permanently confirm this opinion. It would require the most commanding genins and the most vivid imagination to fabricate a story of more fantastic doings and sayings titan are the deoils and words of the Coxey contin-
gent
Savors of Sacrilege. Who but a crazy man could have conceived the notion of making an outline portrait of Coxey, labeling it “The Cerebrum of Christ” and sticking it on a pole to be carried as a sort of advance banner? Thu cognate of this preposterous banner among the score or more borne along by the shambling “spinks” who have been following Coxey through the mud of Ohio bears a picture of Browne, also produced by himself and labeled the “Cerebellum of Christ.” In conversation Browne sometimes exhibits as plainly as he did when he made the banners that his mind is unbalanced, and when he makes a public address ho always does. His speeches are the mud tlicst sort of hodgepodge of Christi&u ity and the doctrine of the reincarnation of the soul that it has over been the lot of any one to listen to. The general tenor of what he says may be apprehended from the fact that he states with solemn earnestness his Itelief that Mr. Coxey’s soul is largely a reincarnation of the soul of Jesus Christ, and that he (Browne) is also possessed of a ^portion of the divine soul, although in a lesser degree than Coxey. Coxey's sympathizers along the route have daily filled up the notebooks of the correspondents with stories of prominent men who have intended to join, but who have most invariably fail(>d to materialize. The secretary of a jsditieal organization in Canton, O., did join, and so did one or two members of a militia company located at that town. One of the most interesting recruits who entered the ranks at Alliance was John Thrum, whose one eye and whiskers made him a marked man. He had letters of indorsement from two or three Populist papers, and his intelligence was far above the average of the Coxev men. A
singular character was William Andrews, who also came from west of the Mississippi and enrolled himself at Canton. The warden of the workhouse then', which stood just across the street from the Coxey eamp, saw that Andrews Was not supplied with a good overcoat, and that his hat was ventilated by the removal of the entire crown, so he gave Andrews mi old rain coat that barely missed dragging the ground, so long was it, and a high hat with a high weed. When Andrews had donned these articles of apparel, he looked a little way off like a dude clad in the height of fashion, although his stylish clothes were indeed a bit nisty. When he had pinned upon his manly chest a large yellow flower, he was the most extraordinary looking creature of the organization. Penalble Men Driven Away. How many men of comparative good sense Browne’s blasphemous lunacy has driven away from the Coxey standard it would lie impossible to say. I have personal knowledge of a score or more of honest workingmen who have not had employment for months who intended to join the march, but gave it upon seeing Browne’s banners and his personal undeanliness and listening to his illogical addresses. The weather was so cold at the beginning and the arrangements for comfortable sleeping so utterly inadequate that it is a wonder that tiny, even the most toughened tramp, coaid find it in his heart to continue on the march. The discomforts, however, did not include short rations even at the start. The forager of the party, a lank ex-cowboy, dubbed Oklahoma Sam, found no difficulty any day in securing from persons living near the encampment of the previous night a larger quantity of substantial provisions than Coxey's trauqis could eat. The most exaggerated ideas of the size and splendor of the procession were found daily by correspondents who drove on ahead to obtain among the farmers along the route. One patriarchal agriculturist near Salem, O., asked eagerly of a carriage load of newspaper men: “How many hands have they got? What kind of uniforms do they wear? When do they show the pictures of the panorama?” A I.ucitl Explanation. The panorama to which the fanner referred, by the way, is the most impossible thing that the mind of man ever .•onceived or the hand of man ever executed. It may be best described in the words of an awestricken trftmp who said: “That there panorama is a serious of paragorical paintings showing how we downtrodden workingmen are kept lown in the mud by the pus proud plutocrafts. That there man Browne,” he went on, “is a great man to use big words, but he ain't got half so much sense as the 'Great Unknown.’ ” The mention of the “Great Unknown” brings to mind the one strong man of the whole outfit. At the present writing no one knows who he is, though possibly his identity will have been discovered by the time this letter sees the light. He certainly has a genins for commanding men. No one without it could have maintained the remarkable discipline which he jxissessed over the Coxey men during the early part of the expedition. He was well dressed in military fashion, he rode and walked and gave his commands in true military style, aud whenever he directed a commonwealer to do anything it was done with the alacrity that is born of abject terror. It is not apparent what the poor wretches were afraid of, for the man never threatened and never used profane language, but there was in his tones that peculiar note that means “I am to be obeyed.' ’ Kccpn His Own Counsel. Louis Smith was the name he gave to tho correspondents, with the statement that that -was not his name, and all sorts of conjectures became rife at once as to what and who he is. One correspondent

French millinery makes it apparent fhat there is a revolution, so far as the size of bonnets is concerned. These could not be much smaller and exist at all. There is an indication that we are returning to the early Victorian form, when they were carried down in a point behind the ear, almost meeting under the chin. We have not quite arrived at that yet, but the shai>es are made to droop at the side in a curious and uncommon fashion. Strong contrasts in color are introduced iu the new millinery. such as green of the bright grass shade with tawny yellow. The shapes are close fitting to the head and come A’ell down at the back, allowing space and foundation for the new style of trimming the hacks almost us elaborate ly as the fronts. Some of the new ribbons have moire on one side and satin on the reverse. Colored straws are to be much worn, and mignonette is one of the favorite flowers, or pansies on the black toques in iw fashionable. Prince of Wales plumes of ostrich feathers stand up erect on many of the new models, and some of the bonnets are vandyked at the edge with guipure. Chip is tpiite a la mode, and roses close
COLLAR AND CUFF BOX. A Plan Fur Making II Ornamental a. Well A handsome collar and cuff box, which would be appreciated by a man because ■ of its usefulness, is made from celluloid by cutting a round piece for the bottom 7 inches in diameter and another of equal size for the cover. Cut a strip 7 inches wide and the length of the circumferEtice of the bottom. Perforate this on the two enls to lace together, making sure that the perforations are exactly opposite each other. Luce it together and make a row of preforations on the bottom edge of this i piece, which forms the sides of the box.
| These must cor- ‘ respond with the { perforations of j the bottom I round. This may l»e more readily done if it is placed in position and p e n c i 1 marks j made ou the side 1 opposite the holes j in the bottom.

A NEW CHIP HAT.
set together are introduced under the brims. Golden straw toques trimmed with cerise velvet are what we shall wear as soon as the weather will permit us to think of spring bonnets, and the cerise is of a most lovely tone. Many of the crowns ar t surrounded by upstanding bows, so that they seem to be sunk below the loops of ribbon, aud cabochons of jet stud many of the new crowns. Diamond arrows and daggers are thrust through the bows at the back, and it seems almost impossible to use too many paillettes. Black flowers on colored bonnets are one of the fashions of the day—black violets more especially, with green foliage. The width of the bows at the hack grows more and more portentous, and seen from the front the rest of the headgear sinks into insignificance. The hats are large, many of them I formed of a chip, with the crown surrounded by ostrich tips turning out- j ward and large jet and diamond buckles [ in front. A charming hat is made of j tan chip, with a crown of pale blue an- j tique satin, with two black quills in , front. A large bow of dark green velvet | is at the back. Panama straw is a new | idea for hats. It is flat and shiny, blocked, and will be worn of various shades, toning from white to deep coffee color. The boat shape is one of the styles approved in New York. It has the brim turning slightly up at the side. The prevailing trimming for all these hats is black moire ribbon made up into large bows of various shapes and
sizes.
The gentleman's hat, with a crease down the center, in this same panama straw, has been made up in smaller sizes for women. Very fine peddle straws ave also trimmed in the same way, such cs the Voyageur, which luis a cloven crown
i quite as wine and bouffant, is infinitely more graceful, the width coming just below the shoulder instead of above it.

dubbed him Major Corns, on the basis that probably Smith was a corn doctor ! who hoped to get advance advertising ! enough out of tho Coxey trip to sell his j pedal remedy in great quantities after the trip is over. Later the correspondent I renounced that view of it. Perhaps tho i most improbable speculation as to the [ “Great Unknown’s” identity is the one I that makes him out an agent of the ni- I hilists. Whatever he is and whoever he is, he is certainly decidedly sane and per- j foctly able to take care of himself and to ;
keep his own counsel.
What will be the ultimate outcome of Coxey's advance to the Potomac? Who can predict? If any considerable number of bona fide unemployed workingmen join the parade, it will be strange if they do not force the tramps who began with Coxey to fall out by the wayside. If the increase of tramps concludes as it began, Mr. Coxey may find it impossible, even with assistance of the unknown Smith, to keep order, and there may be trouble of a most deplorable sort. Coxey himself sees that ami saw it as early as the second day of his progress. On that day he said to me very seriously: “1 should be perfectly satisfied if not another person joined the commonweal. We can handle this crowd without trouble, and I believe the effect of 100 men marching to Washington will bo just as great upon the public mind as if there were 10,000. ”
