The Latest 10 Ladies' Headwesr for the
Early Winter
Felt and velvet are, as usual, the pop
ular materials for late autumn and win
ter hats. There ore also hats made OF
fine fabrics of various kinds, emboid-
cred, braided or crimped, and there are
a few stamped and printed hats, some
what eccentric, and not altogether 30
becoming as the conservative mind
might desire.
1t can scarcely be said that any one
style prevails beyond another, except
that crowns are moderately low, and
brims moderately wide.
Given this state OF things, and such
infinite variety prevails in the makeup,
the material, the trimming and the
general effect that almost every hat
turned out by stylish designer Is a
type in itself. The one thing to keep
in mind Is to make the headgear, what
ever style and material may be selected,

STEWART WARNED HIM.

Senator stewart figured In this, too, as
he has figured in very many questions con-
cerning the currency. For Senator Faulkner
voted as above stated in spite of the warning
ofStcwart, w hitliw hom e is now workingin
harmony; that it reduced silver to a SUBJ
ordinate. and left gold in triumphant pos
session of the currency field The vote Of
Senator Faulkner was TO the effect OF
keeping all parts OF the currency on a parity
with gold, by limiting the volume of silver
His Republican and sound money critics.
now call attention to the fact that all in
the space ofthree short years he has under
gone aDapparently radical change OF heart.
The parity which he voted in 1893 to sus-
tain. they say. he has now attacked. 1t is
declared that no attempt to prove that the
parity is not due TO the redemption of all
coin in circulation in gold, will be of any
use in the light OF the experience of the
country in 1898 afM which at that time
convinced even Senator Faulkner that the
only way TO keep the silver dollar o n level
with geld was 20 stop adding silver to the
currency.
In group of three Republicans who dis
cussed the question nj local Headquarters
for five minutes yesterday and called up
the record of Senator Faulkner, as cited
above, one OF the members suggested that
the Senator's inquiry and the Secretary's
pointed answer would make a good cam
paigp primer for use by the Republicanna-
uopal committee among the voters.

A REAL CIRCUS COMBINE.
The RIege.t In tine world.

The uniting OF the great John Robinson
and Franklin Bros enormous shows has
caused a stir" In tepfed amusements, the
like OF which has never before been known.
This huge institution is the only one to
present the wonderful ''horseless carriage"
and such well-known and high salaried per
fortriers as HISS Rosts DockriIl the worlds
greatest eQuestrienne; Mr.. Frank Miller and
and Robert Stickney. who stands at the
head Of the bareback riders of the pro-
fession; the five Cornalins family, European
foremost acrebats; scigrist and Silbon, who
are the acknowledged mona rchs OF the air,
a double troupe OF Royal japanese per-
formers; Miss Doilie Miller, the greatest
lady acrobatic fideroh either side OF the At
lantic; the three famous French grotesques,
the De Zallos:a troppe OF twenty humanity
educated horses ana ponderous elephants,
besides other novelties which can only be
counted by the score. 1t Is also n we'll
known TACT that these great shows present
the finest geological collection IN America,
and q hippodrome Of surprising merit.
The grand street parade, which moves from
the show grounds promptly each day at @

Both are kept on "a parity with the rest
OF the currency, Which is either gold or
exchangeable with gold, by limiting the
oinage of each. In this wal every part OF
the currency is kept at a parity with gold
by paying every part of 1t which is a gov
ernment obligation in gold. In this connec-
ton one Republican political critic called at
tentioD to the fact that all sorts of persons,
firms, and corporations were being heard
OF as demanding pa yrnent OF large contracts
in gold; even in supposedly free silver
strongholds, too, if not by the free silver
advocates themselves.
1T is well known" continued the same
speaker, THAT if these obligations were
paid in silver the whole currency would
sink to silver basis-that is, provided, as
Mr.. Harrison forgot to take into account
in his New York speech the other night,
that the gold stan,la ri be forgotten, mean
while, as measure of value
1t seems to be the general opinion that
Senator Faulkner by his question to Secre-
tary Carlisle has taken the very best way
to call attention in conspicuous manner
TO the fact that the silver dollar actually
holds subsidiary place in the circulation
and maintains rs current values as one
hundred cents simply and only because its
supply is limited.
A reference to Senator Faulkner's own
action in connection with this fact is
found by reference to the Congressional
Record. II is found that in 1898. when the
necessity for this limit of the supply became
so patent. Senator Faulkner himself voted
for the repeal Of the act of July 10, 1890,

Tho eyes, which are large, are furnish
ed with n membrane, like the eyes Of
owls, and this is called the nictitating
membrane. This is almost continually
moving in tho daytime, as the eyes are
exposed to more or less of sunshine
Without this membrane the amount of
light admitted through the large pupil
would puzzie the zebra wolf.
The general color Of the somewhat
short woolly fur is grayish brown,a little
inclined to yellowish. Across this ground
color the black bands show up sharp
and clear. These stripes are usually IA
in number, beginning just back Of the
shoulders, where they arc narrowest,
and growing broader and longer back of
the launches. The skins are in demand
for lap robes and rugs, which gives an
added reason for hunting the wearers.
Two zebra wolves were taken to the
geological gardens in London, where
they flourished and raised family.
When they came, it was thought Great
Britain would be too cold for them,
but there seems to be no reason why
they should not thrive even in Canada,
as they have been known to live on the
mountains OF Tasmania, $500 feet
above the sen level, where the ground is

weeks and frosts are severe.

HUMORS OF WHIST.
Remarks That Have Been Made Arount
the Table.

the Table.
A good story is told Of a lawyer in
Chicago who considered himself great
authority on whist. He wrote a book on
the subject, and sent it to famous Mil
waukee player for his opinion Of it. In
about week the book was returned to
him, with the following letter:
MY DEAR srp-Your favor Of the - inst,
accompanied by your book, was duly received.
have read II very carefully. IL seems to be
very good game, but don't think It is ns
good game az whist. Sincerely yours,
1t is no unusual thing to hear play
er at whist remark, after being berated
by his partner for very bad playing,
"Well, play whist for pleasure. He
does not stop to think that he gives his
partner anything but pleasure. Such
players cause their partners many "un
mauvais quart d'heure. 1t might be
a great "pleasure" for novice to play
a duet on the piano with Paderewski.
One can readily imagine how much
pleasure" Paderewski would find in
the performance. If man wants to
play whist, he should study the books
and familiarize himself with them be-
fore inflicting his play on partner who
knows anything of the game, or else de-
vote his great mind to dominos
II is related Of one Of these gentry
that, after hand at whist, his partner
asked him, "Wby in thunder didn't you
trump that queen of clubs?" He naive
ly replied, why, only had one little
trump" Sometimes, as in this case, the
humor--unknown to the perpetrator--
carries off the bad feeling engendered
by his horrid mistakes and ignorance.
1t is SO easy, if one would devote a lit
tie time and ordinary intelligence to
the study of the game, to learn to play
a fairly good game Of whist.
Four players started game of whist
not long since, u noted wit being one of
them. He was dealing and made mis-
deal. He dropped his cards and burst
into laughter. "That reminds me, " said
he, "of my dear old friend, Judge Peck
ham, father Of the present judge. He
was a great whist player of the old
school and had scant patience with q
poor player. was passing the cardroom
one day and met one Of the poorest play.
ers in the club coming out Have you
been playing whist? asked. Yes, said
he. Who was your partner?' Judge
Peckham, he replied. Did he pitch
into you pretty strong?' NO, indeed.
He only made one remark. was deal
ing and made misdeal. The judge
said, "Why, you fool, you don't even
know how to dealp' This is the only
remark he made during the entire
game. "-Washington Star.

rhc Senator'S Dress Suit.

There is n certain senator from q
western state who dined with the presi-
dent one night not long ago. He wore
on that evening what he always wears
on full dress occasions, coat made aft
er II design of his own-a coat which
combines the elegance of dress coat
with the lines of u cutaway, but is nei-
ther one nor the other. When the sena-
tor was ready to start for the White
House, some busybody hustled up to
him and said:
"Why, senator, aren't you going to
put on dress coat?"
The senator drew himself up to his
full height.

the central mountain. As we approach
ed the top IT could be seen that there
had been volcanic action in ages past.
Zapetl's eyes were rolling in every di-
rection, on The lookout for some super
natural phcn menon. Suddenly bursting
through, dense fringe of bushes we
found ourselves on the very edge of
vast crater. As with common impulse
We looked 10 the center, and there was
an immense bowlder. "At last, cried
Tom, "at lastW Then lie ran his eye
along the verge, scanning it foot by

and he stumbled along at pace that,

aged to c$a-ulate, though l was nearly
as wild as he. But Tom apparently
heard nothing, He had eyes and ears
only for tho cne goal.
The path along the side Of the preci-
pice, we could SEQ, led upward from the
wide floor Of tho arena far below us,
but the top was concealed from our in
tent gaze by dense mass Of shrubbery.
Around tho sides of the crater we half
stumbled, half ran. When we reached
the spot where we thought it possible
TO strike upon the opening, we made
dashes here and there into the greenery.
After many disappointments cry from
Tom told me the path had been found.
Zapetl by this time was in state Of
collapse through fear and fatigue. Again
l warned Tom to exercise caution, but
he plunged ahead, and / followed as
slowly as ] could. The path downward
was nos more than foot i'm width, and
1t required al my strength and dexteri-
ty to keep my footing. Suddenly on
rounding sharp angle in the face Of
the precipice | was confronted by n fiat
rock five minutes climb further down.
1t seemed to be set in the face of tho
crater and to jut out, cutting off further
progress III that direction. The rock
was Of peculiar reddish yellow color,

voice sounded strangely in my ears.
But Tom had already reached it. Sud-
denly scream Of anguish shall never
forget rose in that awful stiffness, and
in another instant l saw that ponderous
hand of golden stone sink lower, still
lower. Another scream wilder than be-
fore and Tom form could be seen striv-
ing vainly to clutch with his hands the
smooth surface as it sank downward
with increasing rapidity. shut my
eyes and listened. The sight was too
awful to bear. When l opened them, the
rock that had turned ON a pivot with
poor Tom s weight was upright and was
moving back to its original place. OF
that frightful fall into the crater l new
