a network of fine wire making the brims
 These brims are covered with lace. and, 1t must bs admitted, show that they have had attention from skillful millinefs. In these hats, as, indeed, in the many other new shapes, the upturned front of the brim contains 8 cluster of flowers. Frequently @ bow or rosette of ribbon occupies the in side of the brim. The wee crowns are usually ornamented by tall cluster of upright flowers, which bend and sway as if moved by gentle bIeezes. The accom- psnyipg illustration shows a hesch or garden hat of poke shape. Its crown is made of white silk gathered into 6 rosette in the center, and trimmed there with white ribbon bows. The tulle tie strings also commence here. The brim is wired white silk covered with embroidered flu sion and on the inside there Is tiny but teray bow. Very small capotes are seen made of coarse vsriegsted straw. Rib bons or roses, or a little of both, are the most acceptable trimming. Spsuglss and lace are not permissible for such; but if desired a ruching may be placed at the edge of the brim. Coarse straw Is much used for email hats in an almost infinite variety of shapes. The most distinctive feature of their ornamentation consists in placing one or two roses beneath the brim and directly over the ear. FLoRETTE-

 The Austrisns have just been celebrating the centenary of Joseph Rsssel, one of the many claimants to the honor of being the inventor of the screw propeller, by festi. val in front of his statue In front of the Polytechnic Institute of Vienna. It is said that Rsssel, who died in poverty and neglect in 1857, described his plan for using the Archimedean screw for the pro pulsion of ships as long ago ss 1Sl2, but it was not until 1899, when all his earlier patents had lspsed for want of money to renew them, that he succeeded in interest ing Trieste merchant named Fontana in his device, and in securing trial for It on board small steamer called the Cidetta. Unluckily for him one of his steampipes burst, and the authorities thereupon for bade all further experiments. Poor Reesel was derided on all sides and was asked whether he wished to bore hole in the sea. There seems to be no doubt that he was a genius in his way, or that he, iu common with many others, was working on the principle of the screw for some years before Ericsson obtained his patent in 1S36. John Bourne In his treatise on the screw propeller describes 126 different inventions, but does not even mention the name of Rsssel, although 8 monument to the memory of the latter had been erected already In Vienna.

LET,S STOP ,Em.

We have noticed with interest the new attack on the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company. During the last few years that company has been violently assailed when it didn't do anything and quite as violently asssiled when It did. The storm centre has been limited in area, and 1t is noticeable that 1t has always occu- pied the same area. It has been a violent and windy storm centre and has always been advertised as chuck full of public benefit.
 We do not feel called upon to defend the.company. Indeed, our sympsthies are all with the respectable and public-spir- tied gentlemen who find the days and evenings not long enough to enable them to do full justice to the company. We sympsthized with them when they made row because the cars didn't run fast enough. We sympath.zed with them when they complained that they ran so fast that they were dangerous. We sympathized with them when they howled because the company didn't give the West Chapel street people proper facilities for travel, and we sympathizsd with them when they protested against the double tracking of West Chapel street so that those people might have better facilities. We sympathized with them when there were not cars enough, and when there were so many that they cluttered up the streets; when the cars were not heated, and when they were so hot that 1t wasn't | healthy; when there were no open cars, and when there were no closed care; when there were no cars down State street and when there were too many. And so forth and so on.
 But deeply as we have been from time to faithful ones who have spent a good part of their lives In complaining against this railroad compsny ont of pure public spirit, we are more deeply moved now than ever before. For many years the suffering conplainers Lave urged the company to become worthy of city like New Haven, and spend few hundred thousand dollars In order to show it's worth. The company is apparently about to begin this easy and pleasing operation, and at the very begin ming 1t is met by the same suffering com plainers, who are protesting against allow ing the company to carry out the plans which for years they have said the com pany ought to carry out.
 We are with the protesters, now as ever. The railroad company ought not to be al lowed to go ahead and spend the money that it has been 50 long charged with not being willing to spend. It should not be allowed to inconvenience anybody. This
 is city and not village, and none of
 those who live in 1t should be incon-
 venienced for the convenience of others.
 If there Is no other way to keep the com
 pany from doing what we who are now
 protesting have long urged it to do we
 shall appeal to the Chamber of Commerce.
 That body, which has done so much to
 make New Haven big city and to encour-
 age growth and enterprise, will surely not

REAL MISSIONARY WORK


 Of all the charitable and missionary work done in New Haven none is more worthy and useful than the fresh air ex- cursions of the City Mission. These ex- cursions help people who are very much in need of their benefits. There are great many poor people In New Haven who are not able to give themselves or their children the pleasure and profit of day on the water or at the seashore. Those who are able to enjoy many such days may well spend minute or two in thinking of the condition of those who can't, and they may also well spend a little of their substance in helping to improve their condition to the extent of Fresh Air ex- cursion. Such excursions as the City Mis- sion gives are full of enjoyment to those who engage in them and to those who pro vide for them. They cost money, but they are we'll worth all they cost, and they seem to us very good kind of missionary work. Much better than making flannel shirts for the equatorial Africans or fans for the freezing Esquimaux. Rev. W. D. Moss man, the indefatigable superintendent of the City Mission, will be glad to receive contributions from thoee who are willing to help poor children and their parents to a day of relief from the heat of the city.
