Centennial Of the "stovepipe Hat,


Just 100 years have elapsed since the
Inauguration in Europe of the high silk
hat yclept 1.-The stovepipe"-and the
centennial anniversary thereof has been
celebrated during the last week by the
matters Of the Old World with all the
solemnity warranted by the occasion.
According to the traditions Of the It'll.
ing" fraternity it was the Quaker head.
gear Of Benjamin Franklin which first
gave the Paris matters the idea of the
"stovepipe, and that led to its adoption.
During the early part of the century it
was regarded as denoting liberal and
even republican views on the part of the
wearer.
But towards 1910 change took place,
and it became an emblem of conserve
tism, while the soft felt hat succeeded it
as a feature of the revolutionary equip
ment. Even to this day the wearing Of
a soft felt hat by a politician in Europe is
sufficient to denote his radical prOclv-
ties, and in the British house of commons
Mr.. Bradlaugh and Mr.. William OBrien
are almost the only members who affect
that particular form of headgear Every
body else makes use of the high silk hat,
which, notwithstanding the fact that it
is universally decried as both awkward
and monstrovsly ugly, has maintained
its supremacy for just 100 years.-NeW

The evidence and arguments in the
$4,000 SANDER suit of William WEIGH
against w. w. Erwin were concluded
yesterday. and Judge Kelly delivered
his charge to the jury; but no verdict
was returned to the court at the hour of
its adjournment.
Judge Kelly. in his charge. reviewed
the substance of the evidence adduced
upon the trial, and said the charge in
the publication of October, 1887, had not
been proved OF claimed to be true,
and that IN seeking to justify the
publication it was not suffi-
Gent unless the justification is as
broad as the charge in the
publications. Malice was implied by
10y tn publication of defa matory mat
ter without the plaintiff pr owing actual
malice. AS to the amount of damages.
the court charged that the plaintiff is
entitled to such damages as would COM
pensate him for whatever losses he had
sustained by the publication, AMI in adj
dltiOn thereto, if the jury should be-
lleve that there was an intention to do
injury in the calling. business or repu-
tatiOn, they should render a verdict for
Siich damages as would punish the de-
PENDANT and be a warning to others.
As to the question of mitigation of dam
ages. the charge was to the effect tn
the defendant sought to justify himself
by testlfying that he had no actual NAL
ice aud that he at the time believed the
statements furnished him by Knight
were true, hut it was not enough to eX-
cuse himself upon belief. unless he had
taken every precaution to learn the
truth of the information given him by
another before publishing the matter.
The form of your verdict must be for
the plaintiff, and it is for you to fix the
amount of damages"
Exceptions to specific parts of the
charge were taken by counsel for both
the plaintiff and defendant, and the
Jury retired,

view of drawing an Inference as to
whether prosperity was attributable to
the pecIliarity of the times or to the

ton that revenue laws should be so
framed as to place e burdens of sup

sons able to bear them; not to
increase the cost of living among
the poor, either by reducing the price of
wages or raising the cost of npcpSSaries.

ton could not be- JUSTIFIED, except in time
of war or tor extraordinary purposes to
raise a revenue for the absolute needs
of the government. Tariff for revenue
only was the soundest public policy.
The tariff laws of this country tended
towards Capitalization of money in the
