BIG HATS THIS FALL.
Immense Bows, Flowers and Feathers
Features of the New Millinery.

Immense Bows, Flowers and Feathers
Features of the New Millinery.
The hats, bonuets and toques for the
fall are so different from those that
have been worn recently that about
the only resemblance is that they are
large. Immense breadth seems ne
cessity, and flowers seem to be one of
the important features. In addition
to velvet peoples and dahlias and roses
of silk and velvet are gillyhowers and
carnations, All seem to come in exag-
gerated size. This is also the case
with the fancy feathers. Many are
taken from the larger birds like the
osprey, heron and owl, and are used
fiat on the hats
Some of the bonuets have close
fitting skull-cap crown with turned
back coronet-shaped piece resembling
the caps worn by the Breton peasants.
One truly gigantic hat has plated
chenille brim with three large bows
turned downward from the edge to
produce width. 1t is finished with a
large cocks plume. four small birds
and plenty of steel ornaments. 1t is
an imported hat and considered very
fine; SO that one can see that hats must
be loaded with trimming to be fash
ionable. The felt hats are of good pro.
portion. One exhibited is folded over
SO as to form double brim over the
face, and above this rises an enormous
osprey feather and four ostrich plumes.
A great deal of royal purple velvet
is to be used this season. A hat Of
this is bordered witha fringe of ostrich
feathers and has for trimming very
large outstanding bows of black satin.
The bonnets have strings, but not the
toques, and the strings are often the
only distinction. A killed bonnet is
very becoming, because it nestles down
on the head. One among the imported
novelties was of velvet. The crown
was of the killing and ruche of the
same served for the brim, which had
soss silken poppies here and there hid
den in tn. Y. Sun.

FACTS ABOUT ENGLISH.


Should lie Familiar With.
In very recent volume. Race and
Language, Prof Andre Lefevre, OF
Paris, has presented critical study Of
the origin of language, showing in a
mastery way how the evolution of
tongues is related to the evolution Of
man. Some of his statements with ref.
erence to our own language are ex-
ceedingly interesting, quoting, as he
does, statistics collected by different
individuals, Turner among them.
The Saxon element has to some ex-
tent given place to the German and
the Latin in Cur languages, and out Of
one thousand words used by King AL
fred one-fifth are now obsolete. 1t has
been shown by actual counting of the
words by NJ. Thommerel that out of
forty-three Thousand words thirty
thousand come from the classical lam
guages and thirteen thousand from the
German.
Now OF those thirty thousand
French or Latin words" says Prof Lee

in pronunciation, more than a third

Hence there is an infinite wealth of
synonyms-that is, of expressions ap.
plicaple to the subtlest variations OF
the same idea. The Teutonic element
prcdominates in all that relates to the

IRON AND STEEL MARKET,
Prices Less Significant Than Atti-
tude of Dealers.

CLEVELAND. O., November THE
Iron Trade Review says to-day: Further
declines in Bessemer Dig and steel bilets
have taken place In the week. though
the volume OF business is so small that
prices are less significant than the fact
that the world is drawing itself outward
to a time always marked by quietness.
Blast furnaces and steel companies show
no disposition to follow the market to the
level 10 which speculative transactions
have brought IT, The cutting OF prices bv
producers Is In nearly all cases traced
to furnaces or mills that got into operation
after the boom had reached Its height.
The policy Of the leading interests that
have been pushed with orders for six
months seems to be to let smaller pro-
ducers, that are disposed TO shade prices
fill I'D with business. The problem that
then remains is whether there will come
up orders enough TO stifren prices again
for those who have held OF.
Bessemer pig has ranged from Nt7o
I'm the Valley down to $l4 Speculative
steel IS still dominating the billet market,
and with little buying the price has gone
below $40, Pittsburg and transactions In
the Wheeling district have shaded $3.50.
Car buying has helped bar mills and
FORCES. and axle-makers have not been so
busy in two years.
ore producers cannot name price for
1886. though 1t Is agreed that the basis
will be above that Of early 1895. The
price of Connellsville coke Is generally
expected to be higher by January.
With labor cost closely apDroximating
the level Of 1892 with coke higher and
iron-ore certain TO go above the opening
price Of 1893, there are substantial rea-
sons for expecting continuance OF
to-day's prices in finished material. The
arguments to the contrary are found in
conditions outside. rather than inside the
iron trade

SOUTHERN EDUCATORS MEET.
They Organise an Association 81
Colleges and schools.

ATLANTA, GA, November IA num-
Der OF prominent educators have met
here, representing the Southern States.
and have organized the Association of
Colleges and Preparatory Schools in the
Southern States. There are similar asso-
Citations In New England, the Middle
States, the West. etc.
The following institutions were repre-
scented: Vanderbilt University. Universe
ty Of North Carolina. Washington and
Lee University, Georgia School Of Tech
noogy. wofford College; Trinity College,
North Carolina; Tulane University; Mer-
Ger College, Of Mississippi University Of
Alabama, and University OF Tennessee.
The association adopted a constitution
and bylaws. based upon those OF the
Association of the Middle States and
Maryland. This constitution makes IN
eligible to membership colleges with pre-
paratory departments. and schools pre-
tending to confer degrees. As a pre-
requisite to membership. colleges must
enforce a minimum Of requirements In
their entrance examinations. Thus a line
OF demarkation Is strictly drawn be-
tween those institutions which do strictly
collegiate work and those doing academi-
cal work and competing with academies
and high schools.
The association is to meet annually. the
first week In November. and its next
session will be at Nashville. Tenn. Its
officers for the first year are: President.
George T.. Winston, president Of the
University OF North Carolina Vice-Presi-
dents. Professor Planer. of the University
of Alabama. and Professor Carolan, OF
Washington and Lee University; Secree-
tary and Treasurer. Chancellor ]. II.
Kirkland. OF Vanderbilt University
Resolutions expressing the associations
sympathy with the work OF the public
schools were adopted. and these set forth
as the opinion Of the association that the
interest Of public education demand that
four years Of the study Of Latin be added
to the curriculum OF the public schools.
and at the earliest practicable moment
two years Of the study Of Greek.

EXPOSITION DEBT PAID.
The Great Show Financially Solid
Attendance Growing,

Attendance Growing.
ATLANTA. GA, November THE di-
reclors Of the Cotton States and Interna-
tional Exposition met this afternoon, and
the chairman Of the Finance Committee
Mr.. Samuel II. Inman, announced that
he had raised among a few citizens cash
subscriptions to the amount of 10000
to cancel the accumulated Indebtedness OF
the exposition. This puts the exposition on
"A firm financial footing, with gate re-
ceipts increasing largely every day. or
the 10000 subscribed, Mr.. Inman heads
the list with half of the whole amount
The o.her $4,000 being contributed by
members Of the Board Of Directors.
Since the opening Of the exposition. on
the 10th of September, its available fund
for operating expenses has been con-
fined to one third of the gate receipts
as the remaining two thirds had been
obligated as a redemption fund on the
$300.0o0 bond issue of last spring. AS Is
the invariable case with eNpositions, the
first months gate receipts were not as
heavy as expected, and not until abou1
two weeks ago was the one third OF the
gate receipts sufficient to meet the cur
rent expenses and such other indebted
ness as had to be incurred. In this way
the exposition needed 100000 to put IL
on n firm financial footing, and. through
the liberality Of Atlanta citizens, the eA-
position cancelled this to-day.
The gate receipts yesterday showed %
600 admissions. and. Notwithstanding the
fact that to-day has been wet and the
weather penetrating. the ADMISSIONS nave
gone beyond 10000. More than 40 per cent.
of the bonded indebtedness has ALREADY
been paid, and the balance is considered
certain. The exposition directors are very
much gratifed at being enabled to wipe
out all accumulated Indebtedness. ana AZ

country concerning increased attention.
THE railroads centering in Atlanta are
now bringing their trains in double sec
tions. and the attendance this month WILL
