beauty and delicaoy of some of these bits
of hats seem to justify. The pretty
toque of this sketch is made of dark blue
velvet and has q pointed crown embroi-
dered with gold beads. 1t is edged with
beaded embroidery done on blue velvet
and forming points which rest on the
hair. An sigrette of gold and wax beads
is placed in front. 1t forms loops and Is
held in place by three large cut jet stars.
Rough light straw banded with velvet
or fur will be worn late into the winter.
The rate for jeweled buckles in millin-
cry, and for ornate hat pins continues,
and, truth to tell, many 6ne milliners
are selling at big prices snowy buckles
and pins which can be purchased In stage
jewelry places for third of the money.
Hats turned up about the face and at each
side continue to be popular. Black and
white hats are worn with any sort of
gown, though there Is q lsudsbls tendency
to hold to the black and white combine
ton through the entire costume If at all.
Thester hats are most often tiny basket
affairs made altogether of jeweled wire,
and lying fat to the head. A flare of lace
ia spread to each side at the front, and
that is about all that shows of the bonnet.
Hats with cleft brim rolled back in front
sRd held by a rampant bow show no
other trimming. FLoRKTTE.

ARE THEY UNCONsrITUTIONALa

a Ii B THEY ONCONSE1EUI UI1ONAL LIZ
Have the women of Connecticut who
voted at the recent school elections been
unconstitutional If they have it Is pretty
serious business, and they are in the same
boat with those women of New York and
Michigan who have been told by learned
and Supreme male judges that the laws
which pretended to give them the right to
vote are unconstitutional
The New Britain Record has been look
ing at the matter, and 1t has come to the
conclusion that women cannot rightfully
vote even at school elections in this State
until the Constitution has hsen changed.
1t quotes Article 6 of the Consultation. as
amended in 1945: every white male citi-
zen of the United States who shall have OBJ
tained the age of twentyone years, who
shall have resided In this State for term
of one year next preceding, and in the town
In which he may offer himself to be admit
ted to the privileges of an elector at least
six months next preceding the time he may
SO offer himself, and shall sustain a good
moral character, shall, on his taking such
oath as may be prescribed by law, be an cleo
tor" In 1876 the following amendment was
passed. "That article viii of the amend,
ments to the constitution be amended by
erasipg the word white from the frs
line"
The Constitution being so, the RECORD
argues that so long as the word "male' Il
in the constitution the women csnno
legally vote. The reasoning seems to b
good. If the last legislature violated tn
Constitution along with Its other mistake
and misdeeds 1t is not surprising. But tn
women of Connecticut who want to vot
must be allowed to do so, and no such wor
as "male" must be allowed to stop ther
even if it does happen to be in the Cor
stitution. 1t must be yanked out as 500
as possible.

The Worlds Columb bian Exposition closed
yesterday in the shadow of the tragedy
which has sent Chicago into mourning and
shocked the whole country. 1t therefore
did not 60 out in the blaze of glory which
would have irrsdiated Its end had it been
possible to carry out the planned pro-
gramme. But no final fireworks could
have added anything of value to the real
and substantial splsndor Of the great
show. 1t did not need them. Its temples,
palaces and piles stupendous, its art and
Its artifcs, its patriotic and its interns-
ti7nsl UhsIes:-r, its splendid sentiment
and its amazing fact have made their due i'm
preston on all who have come within their
influence. And those who have seen the
satisfying beauty and grandeur of the
White City, its rich and wonderful treas
ures, and its thronging, happy, gay and
picturesque population, will feel real
sorrow that the marvellous spectacle Ia
about to dissolve and fade away.
1t was great day for Chicago when the
Fair opened. 1t has been a great day for
that city ever sincs. AS the preparations
for the Fair took form and shape it began
to be seen that city which was supposed
to be wholly given over to money making
and pig products was to become as conspic-
| uous for the grsndest art as it was for the
most practical and effective handling of the
tools of trade. And when the sublime
| architecture and the adequate and artistic
| arrangement of the Fair grounds met the
sstonished gszs of the world there was an
immediate and hearty chorus of admiration,
which has bsen swelling in volume and
in feeling ever since. A noblel
sight than the White City has not
been seen in modern times, il
In any times. These who have been priv
ileged to see it have had Satisfying ex
perience and will have glorious memory
For giving the world such sight, such al
| experience and such a memory Chicago de
| serves to the full the heartfelt praise anc
admiration which are hers to day anc
which will echo and glow for long tim'
to come. All hail Chicago The Whit,
City ia sufficient offset to the Wind,
City and to Porkopolis.

How it Feels TO be Blown Up With
Dynamite.

IFrom the San Francisco ExEminer.l
Propped up In bed In back room Of the
Curtin boarding house, John Cur,in, Jr,
patiently notes the passing of the hours.
His hands are Scared by FIRE and his arms
bsndsged, bat he makes no murmur. He
Is only a boy in years, bu: 1t has befallen
him to undergo an experience more impr:s-
sive and tragic than ordinarily comes to
mortals. OF the little group who stood
laughing in front of the Curtin house lsst
Sunday morning four were killed and one
so badly MANNED thst death could come
only as blessing. The boy alone survived
with nothing worse than shock and
bruises that will soon pass away.

After disgraoing itself and the country
all 1t dared to the United States senate has
finally acted as 1t might and should have
acted six weeks ago. The vote on repeal
was 43 yeas to 80 nays.
1t has taken long time to reach this
conclusion, but it is cause for thankful
ness that 1t has at last bsen reached. One
momsntous question has been settled and
will be no longer an obstacle to the revival
Of confidence and business. Now If the
people knew what is to be done with the
tariff they could go right ahead aud make
their business calculations on a solid
basis. Bat nobody knows what will
be done and there will atill be hesitation
and lack of confidence until that mo-
mentous question is also settled. And it
Is hardly TO be expected that when it is set
tied 1t will be settled as well and as en-
coursgingly as the silver question has
been.

senators who stood staupchly by him and

Two Policy Men Sentenced.

In the Police Court today Judge Kimban dis
posed of two policy cases by giving substan-
tial Jail sentence in each, remarking that he
thought it necessary to inflict punishment in
order that it might have the necessary influence
over other offenders.
William H. Friedley, an old offender in the
policy business, was first called. Policeman
Klinger had arrested him with policy para
phernalia on him and he found 1928. 40 in his
possession. One book alone represented more
than $50.
Lawyer Shillington, his counsel, told the
Judge that the prisoner had made solemn
promise never again 70 write policy. He also
told the court that the defendant had wife
and several children who would suffer in event
OF Jail sentence being imposed, and he asked
that the court impose fine. He entered plea
of guilty.
Judge Kimbal questioned the defendant and
then said that he agreed with Judge Miller
about the penalty in these cases. The policy
business, said the judge. is a nefarious one and
should be broken up if possible.
A sentence of four months was imposed and
Friedley went to Jail.
John Matthews. a colored policy man who
DID business on a small scale, was given ninety
days.

THE CITIZENS PROTEST
Against the Use of the Present Main Stem of
the Il. and o. X. II,

Against the Use of the Present Main Stem of
the b. and o. X. Il.
Chairman Evan H. Tucker of the committee
on proposed legislation of the Northeast Citi-
zens' Association and President Frizzel Of the
same association appeared before the Commits
sioners this morning to protest against the use
of the present route of the main stem of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Delaware
avenue and II street to 9th and Boundary
northeast. Mr.. Tucker explained that his
committee unanimously approved the ground
plan Of the reconstruction of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad as proposed by
the Commissioners on March r. 1892.
He was armed with copy of THE STAR of
that date, showing the plan in detail. and ex-
planned his position therefrom While, he. said
his committee approved the plan, it pre-
ferred masonry arch work to an iron con-
struction. The Objectionable features in
the route proposed by the railroad officials are
that the citizens will be deprived of the use of
Delaware avenue for some distance and that
the new plan will necessitate the building Of
two viaducts instead of one. He said
be hoped the citizens of his section
would have an opportunity of appearing before
the Commissioners and stating their objections
to the bill when the same was submitted to the
Commissioners for their consideration and re-
port.
