oil, if drawing' degree lines across the oil and gas belt are of any authority, as 'the field is rapidly working westward from Montpeliar 'toward this city. South of this city, five miles, and at Jonesboro the oil is worrying (the gas wells and their owners. (Some indications of oil have been found to the north and northwest of 'this city. While at Van [Buren a few miles east, and in Grant county, one of the .best fields yet discovered in the state Is betag opened up, and greialt activity is 'being displayed among the oil public, as well as the farmers and 'business public. leasers are now at wotrk taking In lands for oil and gas purposes in all directions, says tthe Indianapolis CNews. iHun'tington w^ty'(during the month (has experienced «ftonsi&er&J>le work with the drill, and some (tfair^Iarcd ^producers (have 'been opened up. iLate developments show greialt (prospects for the (pushing of thed rill at the opening of wairm weather. The oil public have divers opinions as to the Jay of the great Indiana oil "field. Some (believe that the main, or productive 'belt, runs in a (northwesterly and southeasterly course, but such canonlt 'be the case, as It would then differ from any Other oil field i.n existence. Well posted oil men are figuring altogether in a .different course. The main and productive ol'l •belt of the state runs as near as can be determined at the present time on near-

Jy a foiity-tflve degree line, (northeast and southwest. This would let the imain 'belt pass from (Terre 'Haute, north jfrom Indianapolis, a few fhiles, near ID road Ripple and Noblesville, through to Geneva, In Adams county, and may [•yet extend to the developments at (Bryan, In Williams county, O., where oil has been ifound, tot at a igrealt d-eipth. The territory around Broaid Rip. pie and iNoblesville Is showing more or less oi'l dn the ventures made for gas, while oil in paying quantities 'has been found at Terre Haute. Across the state line, in (Illinois, there is very good- prospects for the finding o'f an oil field of no mean magnitude. There are already a couple of wells, pumping about Iten barrels each, in the state, drilled some years ago toy Buffalo (N. Y.) men.

The main belt of the Indiana field's, as stated, run3 northeast and southwest, while oil fields and very productive ones, will and have been found to the northwest, which lead off (from the main "belt, and* is merely a tributary. 'Between these tributaries are dry territory, which are considered In the dip, where the sand si found much lower •from the surfa'ce, while the same can toe said of the territory producing gas, which is found closer to the surface than that which produces the crude product. At Francisvilie, 'Pulaski county, two oils are found: One in the shale, between 500 and 700 feet from thes urface, and another in the Trenton limestone. fJevelopments For the Month.

Oil developments in the Indiana field for the'month of February just closing, •show that 140 wells were completed, of which forty were gas producers or dry holes. The new daily production o.f the producing wells were 2,440^ barrels, or an average per well of twenty-^fouti and one-half barrels. This is a decrease from January's reported of thirty-threa completed wells, seven dry holes, and 210 barrels new production. January's report showed an exceptionally large month for the winter.

Wells county, in February, shows forty-three well's completed, five dry hole^, 865 'barrels new daily production, forty-tfour wells drilling, and twentyeight rigs up. This is a decrease in completed wells of eight, dry holes one, production ISO barrels, while in drilling wells there is an increase of bwo, and in rigs up, two, a total increase in new work of four for the county.

Blackford county, for the 'same period, shows twenty-seven new wells, five dry holes, 785 Ibarrels new daily production, twenty-four drilling wells and twentytwo rigs up. This Is a decrease 'from January of two in completed wells, an increase in dry holes of one, and n*w production, thirty-^five barrels. In thfs county there is an increase of one drilling well and five derricks up.

Jay county, the onioa active part of the field, i.s 'not attracting aa much attention as '-it dM 'two years .ago, when it he famous Camden pool was Im 'its

glory. For the same period th.is county (h«s to its credit eleven completed wells, four dry holes, 140 'barrels production, fifteen wells •clrilli'ng a:nid eleven rigs uip, o. decrease of eight in completed wells, three i'n dry 'holes and 120 barrels in production. In 'new work underway, 'the •decrease 'in drilling wells

!is

three, a'nd

rigs up one. Adams coumty (for February shows six completed wells, one dry hole, seventy barrel's production, ten wells drilling and twelve rigs up,, a decrease of 'two In completed wells, the same in dry holes and a'nd ten barrels in production, while an increase of one tin drilling wells and four in rigs up speaks favorable.

Grant county, during *he same period, is credo:el with iwenty-one completed wells, five failures to produce oil, 310 barrels production, 'twenty-four wells drilling a.nd nineteen rigs up. This is an Increase of ten barrels in production, and one more dry .hole, while there were five less wells completed. There is an increase of one in drilling and three less rigs up.

Huntington county is coming rapidly forward, and will out an important fig\rre Hn the In liana developments. For the month just closing the county sohws eleven completed wells, three failures. 210 barrels new production, twelve wells drilling and fourteen rigs up ready for ©peratl.-ns to begin. This lis an increase of five barrels in production, while there fs a decrease »f two incompleted wells. In rigs up there is a decrease of three, and in drilling wells an increase of three.

In all oth.-f counties in the state there In all other counties in the state where developments were made, twenty-one wells were finished, seventeen cf which were useless for oil, the balance showing an output of sixty br.rrels a day. In new work ur.tler way are twenty-six wells d-rilting and thirty-one rig3 up. mostly in :hel imits the gas area. The new 'month of March will start in ith a n«t increase of work under way cf rti.nt-:een, which is a v*ry flattering showing.

GONE TO HONOLULU.

Rudolph Spreckles. Who la Charged With Treason There. Chicago, Feb. 27.—A special dispatch fjxrm Saat- Francesco says: Rudolph Spreckle^iif' youngest son of daws' Spreckles, sugar Icing, sailed for Homolulu on the steamer City of Peking. Hfls mission, ft is 3*hd, is to face President Dole and (his catotoet, toy whom he is charged. With .treason against the Ha«waiian government. The charge was preferred against Spreckles by Dole after the Hawatiajn uprising a year ago. He was accused of supplying the revolutionist's with arms and funds, and, St was said, gave the ejt-queen $10,000 to aid to carrying out her plans to overthrow the -republic and 'bo place (her niece, Princess Kaiuloni, on the tUmwie.

Soon after these charges were made, a xaport (reached Honolulu that Rudolph Spreckles was en route to the caipitaJ on a Pacliflc itoe steamship. When the vessel arrived -at Honolulu, a ddtaM of soldiers went aboard amid searched, for the young mllltonaire, but failed to find him. He had arranged to make the trip 'but changed Ma intentions on the day the sibeasmear sailed. With a serious charge •hanging' over Ms head, it was believed that Spreckles would: mot return 'to HawaiHsajn soil, and his unexpected departure caused consternation •among hisfe friends. He will undoubtedly be arrested upon the arrival of tfche steamer.

HOOTED OUT OF TOWN.

Window Glass Workers Mistreat Usurper Winter. (Pit't^burg, iFeb. 27.—Daniel winter, who was appointed president pro tern of the National Window Qlass Workers' Association when President Burns was suddenly deposed last week, and Hudson Campbell, presiding officer of L. A. 300, were run out of Jeannette yesterday by a mob of more than 1,000 men and boys. The officers went to Jeannette to visit the glass workers at the Chambers- EM'cKee factory. The latter are friendly to Burns and as soon as the officials were recognized work was stopped. A crowd quickly gathered and the two men were .notified to get out of town at once. They started for the station followed 'by a howling mob blowing horns and threatening them with summary punishment. The crowd finally became so demonstrative that Winters and Campbell .took refuge in •Burgess Bethune's office.' From here they were escorted to the railroad station by the police station by the police followed 'by the mob yelling: "Burns, Burns, Burns, Is president hang 'the villains!" The two meniuickly boarded the train, and as it pulled out for Pittsburg the last words Campbell and Winters heard were a sure promise of dealt'h if they returned to Jeannette.

DEATH ON A CROSSING.

Carriage Bun Down By a Heavy Freight Train. (New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 27.—^A fatal crossing a'cteident occurred at 11 o'clock last night in Stelton, two miles from this city, In which one person lost her life and three more were 'badly injured. Two of them m'ay die. A carriage containing Ifour persons, Laura Childs, aged 17 years, and BerthaChilds, aged 16 years, daughters of Milton Childs of Newmarket, and the two sons of Milkman Dunibar, aged about 23 and 24 years respectively, were returning from a party. The carriage had gotten half way over the traclk when a heavy freight train 'bound for Philadelphia and running at a high rate of speed struck the vehicle. The four were thrown jfrom their carriage. The freight train was stopped as soon 'as possible and the crew went back to see what had- .happened. They found the ibody if Laura Childs a considerafol distance from the track horribly mangled. Bertha Was found some distance from her sister's body. 'She was 'badly hurt «»\bout the head and ibody. Some distance away were found the Dun.bar young men, one of them badly injured. The*.other was severely hurt. No statement has yet been made 'by the Injured people as to how the accident occured.

IOWA WILL NOT GO DRY.

Re-Snbmission Defeated in the House of Representatives Yesterday. Des Moines, la., Feb. 27.—The defeat of re-submiss|ion in the house of representatives today ends that question in Iowa politics. The amendment proposed was passed for the 'first time two years ago, when the Hegiislature enacted the mulct lJquor law, which is :now in force in this state. As far as the liquor traffic Pn^h'is state is concerned, today's action aiMiunts to nothing. It was simply a defeat cf the proposition made by the legislature two years ago, to have another vote of t'he people on ithe question of prohibition. No laws are repealed and none are enacted. Beer a'nd

liquors may be shipped into

the state under 'the mulct law, in counties and cities where the requisite signers have 'been obtained. The political significance of the vote today Is not large, except in a few counties, where the prohibition sentiment is strong,

buit

the merrnbers from such counties generally voted for re-submission, the Republican platform last fail referring this sufbject to the legislative districts. In accordance with that declaratioin, the meni'bers voted today.

Herr Ast's Diagnosis.

The most interesting physician of the present time in Europe is Herr Ast, the shepherd doctor, who prescribes for thousands of patients at Radbruch. He diagnoses disease by examining a lock of the patient's hair, and his universal charge for advice is^bout a quarter of a dollar. Clients wait patiently the whole day through to see him, even in bad weather, and if by the time he re tires, near midnight, they have failed to have an audience with him they take up their posts uncomplainingly the next morning-.

The Philadelphia Strike.

The recent strike on the street railways in Philadelphia is said to have caused a loss in wages to the strikera of from $9,000 to $10,000 per day in receipts to the company about $30,000 per day. The cars are ©aid to be damaged by the rioters to the extent of $10,000, which the city will have to pay.

He Hm Floating Shell Which Will Follow Steel-Clad Vessels and Explode Dynamite AntoipaticalJy,

Jerry HSU, a fatrmer wiho litres neeut Flushing, lej the toveotor of a mavy destroyer and experamenlts aire now being made witih fit which haye proved very satisfactory. The destroyer is ai sample tovemitaon, ibetog a perfectly trouind shell five 'feet to circumference, says tihe Chicago Record1. It w4il iprofltxably be made of 'brass, so ttoait lit will not In any manner taterfere with the five magneits wfh'itoh' (are placed ait the top and four sddes. The clock occupies the space aft if he bottom Q/bout sits or eight Inches Ideep. The reSt of 'the space in the shell above the clock pairfcitiom Ss fiHed with dynamite or mfittro-glyceriine, as the case may be.

The destroyer is supposed to 'have only one small opeming.ait itihe botitom, where ttoe clock Us put in. It Sb prepared for Its destructive wtiork by first putting1 to the explosive to be vised. Then the cap is placed to position, after which the clock ds wound and the allarm sett for Whatever hour 4t may be desitred. to for whaitever ihour it (may be desired for the device to explode. In plae-Trig the clock am/d .preparing tbe deVSce tihere ds oo •damger, for between- the oap and itihe clock hammer there Is a email piece of toraiss wihloh prevents !t)he hammer stitiikJlng ithe oa/p unftiil the proper alarm then 'the sihiieiLd Is removed by tihe cilock.

Blade to Chase Vessels.

After the clock has been placed enough ballast 4s put in around Itihe clock to keep .the upper magnet always at the itop. After itihe shell has been charged the aperture is securely closed and a water-colored, rubber sack is drawin tightly over tihe ball. The five magnets are connected With a wire and so strong is the attraction 'Co the steel hull of a cruiser that 'it ds ail most dm possible to pull one of them from the side of a vesselV Water is a good conductor and it

estimated 'that to a rough sea

t'he'magnets will go 180 yards, to a vessel In stffll water about 100

yards

is the

limit. The swell from a fcttg steel cruiser will only add strength to the inagneits. No maittet how fast a boat ru-ns the magnets will oatch it. Even If the large steel boats are cdvered with brass or copper to tihe water Itac 'the magnets will foMow, 'being attracted by the steel above t'he water ainid the large. steeQ guns.

Ball Floats at Any Depth.

The plans and, specifications thus far given have beetn filed with 'the niavy diepartmemts at Was^hfimg-ton. The inventor says that the ball oarij be' made to ride any deptih, from one to ten feet, under water, but how he proposes to do thils he refuses to say until some sutostaoi.tial offer ih'as been made. He assures the writer, howeVer, thait the device has been rum down Flint river i'n Michigan ait a depth of only one foot, and 'then it'fre malgnet® pick'up all pieces of steel in the botitom of the fiver while going dowtn.

Jerry A. HiQl, itihe inventor of this device, was born in Wyandotte county, Ohio, June 15, 1852. When 4 years of age, both his parents died on the same night. He was adopted by Williatm Dickinson, of Crawford county, Ohio, who gave 'him a common school education. He remained an tthe farm wilth Mr. Dlcklnsom until 1&78—when :he was married. In 1887 (he moved: from t'he Buckeye state to his present home at Brent Creek, Mich.

Mr. Hill has gireait 'hopes in has .invention!. He says iit willl blow a steel cruiser out of the water, and a steel vessel cannot get away from it.

A DELIBERATE SUICIDE.

Young Pearson Makes Arrangements For Self-Destrncti.on. Chicago, 'Feb. 27.—William 03. Pearson, known as one of the yomngest expert telegraph operators in 'the West, held a long conversation with Manager (Stonier-of the (Hyde Park morgue, in wh toll he practically made all arrangements for having 'his ibody embalmed, told him he was going to commit suicide, then went to the home of his cousin, and, locking all the doors, adjusted a tu'be 'to a gas burner, turned on the gas, swallowed five grains of morphine, lay down on his bed, and puling the other end of the tube in his mouth, quickly ended his life.

He coolly informed IMr. Stonier he in-, tended to kill himself ami wanted to'be •brought to that morgue, and it is said .he selected the sla'b on which he wa.nted his 'body to lie. Mr. Stonier telephoned .to the police station, giving a description of the man, but it was foui.d he has given a wrong address, and all efforts to find him were unavailing. The sudden death of his wife last November is assigned as the cause. Since then he had been despondent, and many times said 'there w&s no use living.

A search of the body revealed' a razor in one of Pearson's shoes. It is thought he put it in there for use in case he was taken in charge by the police. In his room were found a club and a hatohet, put th^re, it is thought, for convenience in oase the police should attempt to break in before he was dead.

Pearson's father is wealthy, and lives in Auburndale, O. He had not seen his father since he left home, at the -age of 15, to take a position in Kansas City as an operator.

Louis, member oif the national committee from Missouri and one of the committee on "arrangements "for the Republican national convention was in Chicago today and stated that the plans for the nefw convention auditorium building is completed. The work of construlction is to be pushed forward with all possible vigor.

The convention auditorium is to be a substantial building 'with seating capacity (for not less than 12,000 persons. The arrangements for delegates and alternates, the press, and the audience are located in a manner that will be most satisfactory. The entrances and' exits are ample 'and commodious. The entrances to the 'galleries will be.by tWelve'separate stairways from the out*side, twelve feet In width. In all there will be .twenty-four, entrances. The platform or stage facilities will be ample 'and commodious. Special attention will be given to the acoustic properties of the hall.

It is confidently believed that the auditorium will be the best in which a national convention has ever assembled.

Mr. Kerens stated that the citizens of St. Louis would spare no reasonable expense to carry out the expectations of the committee in respect to what they had undertaken

AafttFo i«r, nuif Tying the of the CoucU. 2L

Attorneys Igleh^art and ^ylor of Bvansville, g&traX bounsel S*? the Evansvllle & Terre Haute Railroad Co., -were la the city "Wednesday serva notice on the attorneys ifor thi city that fche opening gun in the Ohio street battle would be fired March 10th.

Messrs. Piety and the Stlmson?, attorneys for the cit£, were notified tkat the railroad company wouM go Into court on the 10th *ay of 'March an.3 app»y for a temporary restraining order, the granting off vhich will render the city •council powerless to taJ:e any action whatever in (for ting the street open across the E. & T. 23. traclks at Tei^th street.

Ia case the court grant3 prayer of the petitioners—and the*e every probability the .temporary order wilA fee granted—the -board of city commlcsioners will be unable to proceed with the assessment of benefits and damages. The attorneys for the defendant company will follow up the petition for a temporary injunction with on'e toA a permanent restraining order.

That the flght against the city Is to be 'a desperate one there Is no occasion for doubt. The attorneys fc'i the corporation have left no stone unturned In their preparations for the jutficial sti uggle. This Is not the first time an attempt has been made to open Ohio street. Some years ago the council desired to force the Ohio street crossing and the litigation resulting cost the c' ty a goodly sum. The E. & T. H. expended thousands. The officials of the road in the pending suit expect, even at enormous cost, to settle once for all the question of the right of the el'y of Terre Haute to open the thorou'gbfare.

Among attorneys there is ar« opinion that the -right of the city to open the can be established. At the same time, however, they declare the city will be oalled upon to pay damages in such sums as wil'l preclude a vote of the vouncil to carry the street through. One of the best railroad men in Terre Haute said a few days ago that 'the damages ito the E. & H. could scarcely be calculated. whr3 all things were taken into consideration. Tbe one Item, itihe frei'ght depot, be said, toeant thousands of dollars to the company. it 3s believed the railroad company will.not question 'the right of the city to force the opening. The road will, however, demand and fight for the full amount of damage it would sustato. This belief is given, weight by the fact that but a few days ago tbe E. & T. H. management brought a number of experts 'here to look over the company's terminals. These men are at the head' of departments on some of the gr«ialte3t systems in the country and capable of judgumg the value of terminal propenty. When the matter comes to a trial these men will be summoned to tell to what extent, in their opinion, the company would be damaged.

HE HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.

The Watchfnl Engineer Stopped the En Cine .Jnst in Time. "William D. Pierson of Belleville, 'N. J., had a most thrilling experience Saturday night while on his way home 'from Newark, says the 'New York Journal. He took the trolley car to Forest 'Hiil and started to walk 'home by way of the railroad tracks. Between Fore'st' Hill and iSohm there is a trestle 150 feet long and forty feet from the ground. Pierson started to cross this, and when hallf way over he .heard the thundering of a train. Turnig around, he saw the headlight of the engine. Pierson was in a quandry, as there was no way to .prevent the train from killing him except by jumping into the river below, which meant instant death. On second thought he dropped between the ties in the hope of being able to hang suspended until the train passed. As be attempted to grasp the tie he sliped and fell and was only saved (from being dashed to death forty feet below by a cross beam.

This, however, left him apparently in a worse position than before. His head wa(s above the rails and his body was so wedged in between the timbers that he could not move a limb. Great was. the relief of Pierson when the engineer blew his whistle and the train began to diminish its speed. The engine stopped within »e feet of the imprisoned man. The sharp curve at this point and the wattafrful eye of the engineer alone saved Pierson's life. As is generally the case, all 'trains slow up considerably before crossing this trestle, and the engineer, seeing the man's head in 'the rays of the powerful headlight, put on the whole force of the air-brakes. The train hands were quick to go to Pierson's aid, and he was pulled up from between the beams. The man was unable to help him-eW in the least, as he had succumbed to the nervous strain.

Pierson was removed'to his home'by the train hands and passengers. Tihe men were remembered the next day by Mr. Pierson, particularly the engineer.

MEN'S DRESS AT ALL TIMES.

General Directions for the Ken Who Wuh to Be Appropr'itely Attired. How mec Should dress for all times and on *31 occasions would seem a much mora loSfAcult problem than Vt really is, says Harper's Bazar. It is indeed quke simple. The principle are oast Iron, few in number, ami the exoeptteoo to them are not as njauny as exist to any rule of English grammar. The lay of Areas applies to mankind in gene rail, from the age of 18 to #he allotted three ooro and ten, and a score more if yott wlH. Before and sifter these peitods there Is really little xiteed tor conventional!tie* in attire.

In the morning a man should wear a lounge or sack suit ci fiStoes, Ohnee pieces of the same materia®—coat, waistcoat and trousers. This should be made of some rouflfi Scbotoh goods—obffviat woolen. A variation may be ruude by a "moraihg suit." The «n?y dif£er«ooo Oetrween *his t»-nd the k-ung-e is th* cut of fche coat, 'jihe former demands a sack, the latter a species of cutaway just now viry popular. If you are tall and sallow, It would be better, perhaps, to ehoc,e dark blue or black serge or mel^pn, or tweeds In dark mixture. If you ore short, a thick •heather mixture. -With this Suit a Derby or .soft felt Homburiff hat is worn.. The boots can be either of russet or of ordinary black leather, fcth good thick soles, and tied, not buttoned. A colored shirt, linen, with wbita collar and cuffs, a bright, but nofc gaudy cravat bow, flour in-'hand or Ascot, and gloves oi brown kid or of undressed kid of gray or fawn will complete this costume., Tbk is your business suit.

If you are asked, and have time to go 'to an afternoon reception, a wedding, or to pay a call, you must w*ai what is known as afternoon dress. This consists in a black vicuna frock coaY Vith waistooat of the same ma'erlal, dark faniy trousers wiih a small shriped pat.err-, patent leather boots with round toes, buttoned, a white shirt* wftm tgh standing or all around turn down collar, a Teck Ascot, or four-in-hand scarf, a silk hat, and brown kid gloves. Tou cin wear also, if you prefer, gloves of gray or "fawn Suede. If you ire a bridegroc i, or an usher at a wedd'lng occurring at any hour before Kt is dark, this enould be your dress, with the simple change of gloves and scarf, wbich shou/Id be white or gray. Some men wear colored shirts with white collars and culls witih this afternoon dreoa The custom 1s not universal, but accepted. Others again wear Cape gloves —a species of white woolen mittens introduced, I believo by the South African contingent in London. Others, again, fancy waistcoats of bo 11 and or silk. These are fad3. 'For the evening, after candle, lanup, gas, or electric light, evenig dress mustt be nrworn. Thero are two styl-es of evening dress. The first Is for al formal occasions, such as dinners, evening dancefe, balls, theater panties, evenig calls, and in any place or under any circumstances where ladies may be present. It consists in the regulation "swallow tailed" coat, with waistcoat and trousers of the same material, generaly a vicuna or a rough worsted with a peculiar finish known to the tailors as "dress goods." With this goes a perfectly plain white shirt, buttoned in front with two or three buttons. These should be either, of white enaimel or pearls, or gold, or mother-of-pearl, the last simulating the regula.non shirt button. Screw studs, dlamionds, or turquoise are not now worn by gentlemen. The sleeve buttons should be links of white enamel or of plain gold. Very pretty ones are shield shape wdtih your monogram engraved. The tie should be of white lawn, self itied. The bow in fashion this year is simple and not too large. Butterfly or fancy bows are not in vogue. The collar should be straight standing, although you can wear an all around turn down Eton, The shoes are low quarters or pumps, tied and the hose are of black silk. Gloves are white kid, with black or white stitching on the back. A top or an opera crush 'hat should accompany evening dress.

For in'fo.rma:i occasslons—the club, stag parties, the oount.ry, and even the play, when ladies are not present—.the Tuxedo or dinner jacket is worn. Wltih this you must have a black satin tie. A soflt felt hat or a black Derby is the proper head gear. There has been some discussion as to when the Tuxedo and when the evening dress should be worn. In New York recently great" latitude has been alJowefl, and men are frequently seen in company with ladies at the play with .their dinner jackets. On these occasions, however, they are only with members of their own household. A married man may wear his dinner jacket in his own home on ordinary occasions. However, when there are people invited, be should wear formal evening dress. With formal evening dress, white waistcoaits. of pique, Marseilles or duck are also 'in vogue. There 4s some rumor tiha't white silk, plain and figured, will be worn, but nothing definite has been decided. If you are in mourning you should wear your dinner' jacket with a black tie. On formal occasions, under these circumstances, if you are going out, a black silk tie can also be worn in lieu of a white lawn. White waistcoats, of course, should never be seen with dinner jackets, nor black satin ties with formal "evening dress.

For church on Sunday a'nd for funerals afternooin dress is required. It is needless to state that a high or silk hat is never worn wi'th a sack coat, nor are russet shO'ps or a Derby or soft felt hat it a at

Youth? from the age of 14 to 18 wear dinner jackets, with black dress trousers and black dres waiiStcoaits, black sarin ties, patent leather pumps and black silk hose to evening parties, the play etc. Before that age Eton jackets, knickerbockers and large, round collars w»Ui a black bciw are evei-ing dress.

For golf, cycling and general country sports, men wear knickerbocker suits o. tweed, Norfolk or short jackets, golf •stookinigs, russet golf shoes and cloth caps of sfoft felt Homburg hats. For riding in tbe city In the afternoon, of'ternoon dress is worn, but instead of a frock coat a black vicuna or diagonal cutaway.

Ail the trouble is' d'te to Padervsrsiii£ Not becwuse he has ^etnwnded that h(f ladies snail appear beiotr* i-cyi barehi vi--ed, for he has not. Ne*thei is it became thr/ would l^suate t- oomp'y with la!» subtest wish in this matter of millinery. Pauerewskl mipht ask hi« feminine admirers to wear their hair hanging down .their backs while llsterabig to hi^n. anj the won.. whose hair was too ito han# would buy a switch rather l^.-~n offend him.

Hiir is the cause of fcros excitenMmt. anyhow, if the truth must be known, and ic is ^aderew-rki's hair.

Padereiwski, with flowing rlwlcts, or hail comibed smooth and parted in the •middle, or -hair cut pompadour »r wtth tha clijrpcrs, would alter circumstances entlirr in Denver. He might play the plana ever so divinely, but there would be no ord requiring the ladies :to remove -their

during the performance. They would be content with hearing him under either of such conditions, and wouldn't care a rap how ihe looked. But Paderewski with his tawny inane, his golden aureok^ his yellow nimSbus or any other description •that may be applied to his luxurious shock, is a viakxn too rare to be missed. Hence tho ordur for "bats off."

Thus far the management has given no h?nt as to how it will proceed to enforce .tihe order. Under ordinary condition^ it has been discretionary with the ladies as to what disposal they matle of their hajts, and nobody presumed to criticise those who persisted in wearing what tihey pleased cm their beads. A certain proportion of those who will buy tickets for the concert may be depended upon'to raise strong objections should the ushers make as much as a suggestion unat their hats should be removed.

These ladies may be described as those who have hats that are "dreams," but which are dreadful realities to their hus-« bands, who had to pay for them. Beside^ these ladies are those who are musically inclined, and Who have no special rev erence for the old saying that "seeing is believing."

TAKING THINGS EASY.

Big Georgia, the Murderess, Eats, Talkf and Plays Cards. "Big Georgie," the colored woman ift jail for killing her lover, Ide Miller, has apparently reconciled 'herself to her surroundings and is trying to make tihe best of a mighty baA job. She eats heartily and is as wel "contented as a person could be under similar circumstances. Visitors are not permitted to visit her cell and when an intruder ventures CByona the hall door leadfng to the east wing he is brought to a halt by a signal from "Jim Red." w.ho 'has the freedom of tne hall and is tihe sentinel at "Big Georgia's' cell. The murderess gets weary of being alone wilth her own surging thoughts, and to temporarily forget her troubles she and Jim hold "experience meetmgs and converse through the iron bars until they run short of something to talk about. Tlhen they play cards until they weary of this source of amusement and .their minds drift back to their troubles and they lie down on their bunks, wond?ring what a trial will bring each of them. Mentally worn out ithey fall asleep, 'to dream of freedom and the good ttim-a they used to lhave before misfortune and the police overtook them. It is the Intention of Prosecutor Huston to hnvo "B1& Georgia's" case trailed for trial cut as early a date as possible, as he wants the case disposed of in justice to Ida Ward, who is being held in jail as a witness for the a it "Jim Red," the sentinel at the murderess' cell door, Is awaiting trial for assaulting 13-year-old Rose Cadal, and his trial is set for hearing March lath. He was tried. few we^k^s ago, foimu and his punishment was fixed at en years in the penitentiary. He was subsequently granted a new trial on the claim that the statute under which h® was tried was not force whcui the crime was commit ted.
