their harp"

have no doubt that if people would
notice the fact they would think as I do.
In my factory the majority of girls have
red hair, and they go about their work
1ndustriousiy and indulge in no foolish
ness"
This little argument in favor of red
haired people should have its effect, and
hereafter the warm-headed man or wo-
man should always have employment.

Get Your Ships First.


The zeal of those who are so anxious to have
the government of the United States undertake
the construction of ship-canal across the
isthmus of Nicaragua might be better under
stood if this country had any chance of getting
any considerable share of the CARRYING trade
through the canal That no considerable share
of that trade would fall to our lot at present,
even were the canal already constructed, must
be plain, of course owing 10 the fact that we
have no merchant marine worthy of the name,
and would therefore be at disadvantage in
competing for the carrying trade through the
canal with other nations whose position in this
respect is better established than ours. The re-
vival of our carrying trade, in short, is of more
Importance to us than the construction of water
ways for the commerce of other nations; our
need of ships is more pressing one than our
need of ship canals

A COSTLY HAT IN A PARLOR CAR.
A Head Covering that Cost 6O0-Mexican
as Well as Texas Fancies

Fort WORTH, Tex, Dec. PA passenger in
the Pullman coach from the West, last night,
when he boarded the train out the plains,
brought in and carefully deposited in the draw
ing room, on one of the cushions. a $50 Mexican
hat, stiff, with silver thread embroidery and cir
cled by heavy silver cord. He was A. J.
Adams who, only twenty eight years old, is able,
out of the profits of his New Mexico ranch, to
indulge in the luxury of $50 hat, but purely as
piece of interior decoration for Eastern
friends house. Sheriff Warne, of Mitchell
county who, with millionaire Gregory, of Chi
cago, was admiring the hat, said that General
Valdes when an exile from Mexico, had with
him hat that cost 5000, and California
saddle that had cost ST. 300 Both were
silver lace, aud the General was very
proud of them. "Its a common thing" he
added, 'for these Texans to wear hats that cost
from $l5 to $25. In fact. a cowboys hat and
saddle cost more than the whole of the rest of
his outfit. The boys get these big hats from the
East, where they are manufactured, although
they are never worn. A silk hat is as uncom-
mon out here as one Of these sombreros is on
Broadway.
The big hats are the best hats in the world.
They warm in winter, and a shade in sum
mer. The Texans are very particular about the
broad brims. They will touch nothing with a
bllm narrower than ~ inches, ana they want
often hat that is 81 inches in width Of brim.
The hats last four Eve years, and some cow
men have superstition about them if they have
good luck while they own them, and after they
have worn them long while they will send them
off and have them cleaned, and wear them sew
eral years longer.
Many men here have made all their fortunes
under one hat There is not only economy and
durability as reasons for the custom but there
is health in them. Have you ever seen a bald
headed sombrero wearerl Then the color, too,
which varies from a light dun to a buff, pre-
vents reflection from the sunlight
''Why are Mexican hats so expensiveP
"Fhey are made by hand Unlike the Texan
sombreros, they are made of wool carefully pre-
pared, and each one of these costly hats repre-
sents several months labor. This hat. you will
see, - he added as he rubbed his hand over the
peak ''is as soft as a newborn baby's cheeks
This silver thread is laid by women, who are
careful to mat it together 1t gives the brim a
curl, and it keeps the tiny sugar loaf in the cen
ter stiff This pattern is very simple, but you
will see the cactus, the palm and the Mexican
grasses picked out in gold and silver many
of the hats, The true Mexican will invest his
all in fancy hat, and clothe the rest of his body
in dirty rags

tidings Of Christmas gloom and disappointment

sons have made such sad havoc CT the millions
left them by their grandfather as to cause many
to doubt 81 their ability to preserve the greater
riches to be inherited from their father
One of the sons is already a pensioner on the
head of the house, and another is also receiving
assistance from the same hands Both were left
independently rich by the founder of the family

Gus specuiatons in Wall street.
W. X. Vanderbilt his son, is living very qui-
city with his family in his marble palace close
to the parental mansion There has been some
talk that he would 60 to Europe, and in case his
house is sold he may do so. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that the marble house is for sale. Of
course no bill with For Sale on it is displayed
and it would be beneath the family dignity to
place the property in the hands of a broker, but
there is no doubt that if anyone will make fair
offer for it, the purchase can be effected. For
the first time in his life William Fl. Vanderbilt
has been called upon to render pecuniary aid to
his sons William K, it is generally understood,
| is dead broke 1t is not so publicly known
that he has been pensioned by his father at the
rate of 50 600 per month, or 100000 per year
Some put the amount at $4,000 w. *. re-
ceived 81, 900, 900 from his grandfather. This
by fortunate investment redoubled more
He purchased his big house. furnished it with
princely magnifcence, and spread himself
grandly both in society and in Wall street. 1t
is now believed by many on Wall street that w.
H. Vanderbilts interest in the Central is more
imaginary than real, and that his holding OF the
stock is very small.
The other son, Cornelius, who was left S.. 000,
900 by his grandfather, has also been unfortu-
nate in Wall street. 1t is believed that very
nearly all of his inheritance has been lost. The
total Vanderbilt losses in Wall street are esti
mated at $50, 900, 900. Cornelius is also keeping
very quiet in society this winter.
The other two sons, Frederick and George,
have made better use of the 81 600 900 apiece
left them by their grandfather, and have added
to their wealth.
