the pale shades being opponents of
much that is novel and delicate. New
felts in Nile green are equally striking,
and while on the subject of Fall col
ors, the russell shades, dark green and
dark blue deserve mention as unusu-
ally stylish. There is a moderate
proportion of conservative brown,
and the piles of black felts on whole
sale counters show the prolonged en-
ployment of this valuable contrast in
dress. Nothing has been found to
replace velvet as the material for
dress bonnets, and it comes in all
new colors with large compliment
of plush that is often in Astrakhan
weave in compliance with the promi-
nence of such popularity in other
departments.

it is easy to predict much more style
in the forTer than in the latter. Some
shapes point sharply over the fore
head and others show brim which,
commencing as a coronet, turns again
upwards and outwards with peculiar
effect. Small round hats are varied

and narrow brims, which may turn
upwards or downwards in variety of
contour as to special detail. The as
sortment of wide rimmed felts is

feathers prepared in an entirely new

of the former, come woods in enor-
nous plaids or in circular or oblong
figures, while stylish roughness is
obtained by Astrakhan weaves, large
bourette deckings or in camePs hair
materials, by very long hairs lying
thick on the body Of the goods. Large
plaids are outlined by Astrakhan cur
lings, or the latter may form the large
oval or circular spots to which allu-
sion has been made, and hairy tuft-
ings perform similar office. Bou-
rette dottings produce certain
vagueness that is pleasing because it
softens outlines and patterns of the
size at present in vogue, if not some
what softened would in truth be in
tolerable. But not unfrequently an
Astakahan weave, when placed in
large designs, does not sharply out
line them, but seems rather to have
come accidentally into position, and
long hairs lying about give kindred
effect. Colors, moreover, blend
gently where surfaces are rough, and
as rather sombre hues in these special
lines are employed, considerable
modification results. The market,
nevertheless, is well supplied with
dress goods showing
BRIGHT COL0Rs,
but here the surfaces are smooth and
often in Henrietta weave. Clan
plalds are conspicuous, and the very

equally a feature of the season. En-

TWIN CITIES At WAR:

Taking Of tho Census Causes Bitter Feel.
inxs and Hot Fight. -
The excitement which has existed
over the census in the Twin Cities cul-
minated the other night in the arrest
of eight Minneapolis enumerators on
charge of making fictitious entries in
their returns. The men were arrested
in Minneapolis and taken to st. Paul,
where they were released on bail of
$500 EACH. The arrested men were
charged with making false re-
turns 50 as to swell the population
of the mill city to size in
keeping with its ambition. At an in
dignation meeting of Minneapolis citi-
zens resolutions were passed denouncing
as an outrage the action of st. Paul,
which was characterized as matter of
jealousy. The resolutions pledged the
meeting, irrespective of party, to work
for the removal of the State capital
from st. Paul and to nominate candi-
dates for the Legislature who would
work with this end in view.

WASTED ON DRINK.

The Amount Of Money Squandered by
Nav Yorkers for Beer and Liquors.
New Workers are reckless drinkers.
They succeed in disposing Of $1,000, 900
gallons Of liquor, beer and wine in a
single year. The average drink is a
gill, say, making 1904 600, 900 drinks.
If the big Croton reservoir at Forty.
second street were filed with such bev-
erages New Workers. would empty it
nearly two and one-half times during q
year.
If the big Central Park reservoir,
having capacity of 200, 600, 600 gallons,
should be filled with liquor, beer and
wine the consumers in the cities of
New York and Brooklyn and the State
of New Jersey would empty it in two
years.
New Workers spend over $40, 600, 900
every year for liquor, beer and wine.
There are in the city 7,7s7 places IL
censed to sell alcoholic drinks. In order
to exist the smallest one of these places
must sell at least $40 worth of drinks a
day.
Many of the best bars take in 1925 to
$50 day. At the Hoffman House,
where one has to pay fancy prices, the
receipts are fully $500 day.
No bar can pay its way through the re-
ceipts for beer alone. 1t is the hard
stuff that brings in the profit While a
saloon would soon 20 to the wall if it
depended on the sale of beer alone,
there are numerous gardens like the
Atlantic, Volks, Thesis and Blanks
that thrive almost solely from the beer
receipts. In the gardens the glasses arc
smaller, and twenty are sold where one
is drawn from behind the bar in sa-
loon.
Averaging all the bars in town they
take in about $25 day, or $50, 900, 900 a
year.
"Yor can divide the consumption Of
wine, liquor and beer" said a well-in-
formed wholesale dealer to the reporter,
Into the following proportions: Wine,
81; beer, $40; liquor, $780,"
Estimating from these proportions
there are expended by New Workers at
the licensed liquor places every year
81, 700, 900 for wine, $4,000, 900 for beer,
and s51, 600, 900 for liquor.
''Then to this" continued the report.
er's informant, "you must add at least
81, 600, 600 spent in wines, beer and liq.
uor at the groceries. But for calcula.
ton your round figure of $4,000, 900 is
sufficient"
The wine consumed by New Workers,
from cheap clarets to the best cham.
pagnes, will cost on an average So. SO a
gallon, the beer 80 cents a gallon, and
the liquor So gallon. So we consume
every year $50, 900 gallons of wine, 21,.
25o,o00 gallons of beer, and rs, 500, O0c
gallons Of liquor.

that are expended to make the saloons

IT may be surprise to many to learn
that statistics prove the sea to be safer
to live on than the land. The late
Thomas Gray, of the Board of Trade
Marine Department, London, said: Il
have always contended, and am more
than ever confirmed in it, that man is
safer at sea than anywhere else, in q
fairly good ship. properly manned and
carefully navigated. The death rate
OF sailors is under twelve per thousand;
the loss Of life by shipwreck is about a
quarter of this; in fact, there are more
lives lost among miners by accident
than among sailors, and many more
among railway employees"
