The Obelisk Hat.

The "obelisk, says the New York
Post, is the very latest agony" in
round hats. This new shape done"
in marble or granite, would serve
Americans very well in the place ofan
obelisk, upon which to inscribe a long
poem setting forth the vanity of ali
earthly things, especially of modern
hats, provided we had not already
imported" a genuine article, which
has been set up with appropriate GER
emonies. AS it is, the "obelisk" hat
is a creation fearful and wonderful to
look upon. It's like was never before
seen in these United States. A head
covering somewhat similar to it may
be found in old picture books, show
ing Mother Goose flying through
the air upon ADMINISTRATIONS to
sweep the eobwebs out of the sky" as
the rhyme runs. But that the time
should have arrived when this tall
peaked sugar loaf hat should qdorn
the heads of our society bellies seems
incredible. Its length from the tip OF
the peaked crown to the head. band
measures fourteen inches, and the
broad brim surrounding it is FIVE
inches wide. A lady wearing one
alighted from her carriage in front
of leading business house in this
city lately, and became an object
Of special attraction. She was
dressed in a costume Of deep ruby
colored satin de Lyou, trimmed with
ruby brocaded velvet. Upon her head
was one of these monstrosities of fash
ion; the high pointed crown was sur
rounded BY a full wreath of ruby
colored ostrich feathers, shading to a
pale pink. The fariDg brim was faced
with dark ruby velvet. The hat itself
was a ruby colored straw, matching
one of the shades of the feathers. The
dress worn by the lady was in elegant
style; but the hat Shades ofMaebeth
and the witches thereof 1t drew
such crowd that It was with Difficult
ty that the lady entered the sore, and
with greater difficulty that she made
her purchases.

Subdivisions in the Democratic
Party.

Col. Will 0. Haywood writes in his
paper, the Brownsville Democrat,
The state credit wing met with de-
feat in the struggle, as might have been
foreseen, from the conspicuous lack
OF prudence and wisdom, and since
that time portion Of them having
voted to sustain the proposition of the
radical governor, Hawkins, to settle
the state debt at 1908, with coupons
receivable for taxes, that wing of the
party has undergone another division
In which the great bulk of the masses
who followed the standard Of Wright
have arrayed themselves against the
measure, while few Of the leaders in
all OF the small towns and larger cities
OF the state support the measure. There
is but one hope for democracy in Ten
nessee, so Tar as we can see. 1t is that
Chancellor Merritt sustains the in
junction, and that the matter be held
in allegiance in the supreme court un-
til a new legislature repeals the OBJ
noxious measure, and settles with the
public creditor at 50-4. In order 10
accomplish this the people will have
to take part in the actual politics Of
the state, and retire the bummers and
ward politicians and cross road orators.
Savage and his gang would have to lie
suppressed, and the men who bartered
and bargained with the coupon in
fanny thrown overheard as unluoky
freight on the democratic craft. Vixen
the next regular democratic cOnven-
ton meets at Nashville, we will be
found fighting for sthe reimbursement
of the platform of 1880, and for the
condemnation of the coupon infamy,
and for the unity Of the democracy.

The Prehistoric American.

Chicago Tribune.l
The high bluffs and banks of the
Mississippi river in this section are
dotted with Indian mounds, and large
numbers of these sepulchres Of the
prehistoric age have been thoroughly
explored, yet nothing has been dis
covered by which the scientist can,
with any degree Of certainty, arrive at
the date Of their erection or the his
tory of the mysterious people who en-
gagged in their structure. These
mounds are symmetrically built, and
range from three to six feet in height
and from eight to sixteen feet in
breadth at the base. Your correspond
ent has assisted in exploring dozen OF
more mounds in this neighborhood,
and in almost every instance pit,
parallelogram in shape, has been
found, dug evidently about two and a
half feet below the original surface of
the ground, about six feet long, and
four feet wide, with the bottom and
sides Of hard baked clay. These
pits are filled with human bones,
representing all ages, buried
in most cases In sitting
posture against the sides with legs
extending to the center. Over these
bones are found layers of anhydrous
earth of dark color, hard from pres
sure, but which easily crumbled into
fine powder. Above this is stratum
of hard baked clay or cement on the
top of which is found a layer of ashes
mingled with burnt shells and bones.
In several instances the first thing
struck after removing the earth from
the tops of the mounds were fiat pieces
of limestone Joined together as tightly
as though fitted by nature. In one
mound unearthed on what is called
the Portage, short distance west Of
this city, were found bones indicat-
ing a race of gigantic stature. One
immense skull was secured which
measured fifteen inches from the
occipital to the frontal bone. The
largest mound in the Portage group
which was explored was found to be
literally filed with bones, and sixteen
skulls, all in a good state of prescrya-
ton, were removed from the mess. In
every one was a deep indentation on
the left side, little above and behind
the orifce of the ear, as though crush
ed in with blunt instrument. Relics
we're found in the shape Of copper
bodkins, chisels and wedges, all finely
wrought; axes, arrows and spear
heads, made of species of flint not
found in this region a singularly and
finely finish o 4 spear shaped implement
of stone, probably used for skinning
animals great numbers Of the large
teeth Of some carnivorous animal
supposed to be the bear; in some
instances, large pearls. some of ex-
quisite luster, perforated to be strung,
aud piece of pottery about twelve
inches in height, urn-shaped, round
on the bottom and ornamented.
On top Of one Of the most romantic
bluffs in the upper Mississippi coun-
try. about eight miles from this city,
overlooking what is called the Sand
prairie, are no less than 100 prehistoric
mounds, uniform in size and ranged in
rows OF from eight to ten. They are
located near the edge Of the bluff, and
one large mound stands ike a sentinel
on the very point Of tho eminence.
Behind this, aud about twenty feet
away, is a deep ditch, resembling

THE CUBAN.

Franklin Review and journal: It
isquite amusing to read the illusions
Of the 1908 organs as they wahble
about in its defense. When Judge
Williams granted his fat they pelted
him with slang and threatened to mob
a court they had been breaking their
necks to reach for months. This was
done to bulldoze the courts. Now
they meekly say that they are willing
to litigate, but there must be sub
mission to the decree. Once for all
we tell these gentlemen the people are
not going to submit to the 1908 under
any circumstances. This fight goes
on until justice is done.
