Farewell to the Bonnet.

The bonnet, large and small, convex
and concave, narrow and wide, is
doomed. 1t is superseded by the hat
even for the most festive occasions.
The flower wreath or q rose and an
aigrette are still in vogue for opera
and theatre, but the actual bonnet
that covers the crown of the head and
ties under the chin has had it's day.
Hence the prettiest display of spring
millinery is in an infinite variety OF
hats. The most dashing of new hats
are displayed either in combination
of vivid colors or else are entirely
black. The former are usually perfect
flower gardens, while the black hats
are broad of brim and carry large
and picturesque display of tossing
plumes. The desirable hat for the
first warm spring days will be un-
doubtedly the flower turban. These
dainty turbans are square and oblong
as we'll as round, and are completely
covered with masses of flowers and
foliage, withsalways bunch of violets
and black aigrette on the left side.
The rose turban is brilliant sample
of the amount of color and style that
can be crowded into one conscientious
millinery effort. 1t is made of dozens
of crush roses, shading from the deli
cate pink of the La France to the
deep velvety carmine of the Black
Prince. Roses N various shades OF
spring greens are used literally, and
thorned stems stand tall and straight
in company with the black aigrette.

A Beggar's Device.

In well-known street in London a

by a piece of chain, and had round
his neck aplacard with "Pity the

All great National art has arisen
from the people and has depicted sub
jects OF popular interest in a way that
everybody can understand. In this
| way arose the sculpture of Greece,
the cathedrals of the middle ages, the
religious pictures OF the italian
Renaissance aud the genre painting
of the Netherlands. But our leading
artists who have received their train
ing in foreign schools, are most of
them entirely separated in thought
and feeling from the masses of the
American people, who would gladly
welcome an art that would appeal to
their understanding or answer their
inspirations, remarks the Chicago
Times-Herald. But why should the
masses of the people care for foreign
subjects or American subjects treated
in foreign manner? What are French
peasants to them, or why should they
waste time over an imitation, even if

You Will Forget.

You will forgct-a few short hours,
Fortune and fame and all to WOO,
And ere the bloom forsakes the flowers
The lips you kiss have kissed for you,
And ere the morrow's sun is set,
You will forget.
You will forget-a mile or so,
And out of sight is out Of mind
The easy tears soon cease to flow
When lifc's before and love behind
Aye, love, while still your eyes are wet
You will forget.
You will forget-in other years
When you behold that white star shine
We see so dimly through the tears
When you shall pass these doors Of mine,
Or that dear spot where first we met,
You will forget.
You will forget-let me love on,
You have been all in all to me; .s,
So when the past is dead and gone,
Like some fine golden phantasy,
Let me love on, to pay my debt
You will forget.

ATLANTA STANDS by SAVANNAH.
Her Bankers Want the sub-Treasur
Located Here.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 2S.-The Atlanta
Clearing houses. composed of all the banks
Of the city, endorsed Savannah as the
place for the location of the proposed
sub-treasury, under the bill now pending
before congress, to-day, by a unanimous
vote. The matter was brought up at a
meeting of the clearing houses called
for the purpose of placing the Atlanta
bankers on record as between Savannah
and Charleston, for the sub-treasury,
Charlestons claims, as well as those of
Savannah, also being under consideration.
The action of the meeting was at once
wired to Washington, to be used in sup
port of the movement in favor Of Sa-
Vannah.
When the establishment of a sub-treas-
ury somewhere in this section was first
brought up before the Georgia Bankers
Association, Atlanta favored Savannah
recognizing that the Forest City Is the
proper place for 1t, and since Charleston
has entered the field, the Atlanta bank
ers. after thoroughly Weighing the claims
of both cities to-day, could find no reason
for changing their views and will stand
by Savannah.

CHARLESTONS POLICE CLASH.
GOV. EVANS PUTS THE CITY UNDER
THE METROPOLITAN LAW.

The Governors Commissioner APP

Chief of Police of the CIty-The

Action of the Governor bitterly
Resented by the People.
Charleston, S. c., Jan. 2S.-Information
was received here at midday that Gov.
Evans had placed Charleston under met
ropolitan police system.
By an act of the legislature passed in
1894, the governor of the state was en-
powered to place any city under metro
poltan police, when 1t was deemed neces-
sary to the enforcement of the dispensary
law by state board of commissioners,
consisting of himself, the secretary of
state and tho comptroller general.
The people of Charleston are bitterly OPP
posed TO the metropolitan system and
they believe that Gov. Evans is prompted
in his action simply by the determination
to keep a personal follower and friend Of
his in office here.
In December a new municipal adminis-
tration which Gov Evans had tried his
best to defeat, went into office. When the
time for appointing a chief of police came,
Mayor Smith appointed Ingraham Hasell,
a man who had been opposed to him po-
litically, but one in whom every one had
great confidence.
j. Gilmore Martin, who had been chief Of
police under the previous administration,
was a personal friend and follower of Gov.
Evans and one of the very few Tillma-
mites in Charleston. His opponents claim
ed that he had been bitter partisan, and
that for that reason he was unqualified
to hold his office. Martin has made a good
spolce officer outside of political consid-
erations, and he had strong friends in the
city.
Two of the aldermen elected with Mayor
Smyth, being sick when he appointed Ha-
sell, his opponents had a majority of
one in council and refused to confirm the
appointment.
1t was after this that Gov. Evans be-
gun to threaten that unless Martin was
reappointed he would put the metropoli-
tan bill in force. This he did to-day by
appointing j NJ Eason, II. S. Wilbur ana
Edward Anderson as the local board or
commissioners. This board met this ar
ternoon and organized. Their only action
besides the transaction of routine busi-
ness was to appoint J. Gilmore Martin, the
man whom Gov. Evans is accused of try
ing to keep In a job, marshal or chief Of
police of the city.
and Mayor Srnyth again appointed Hasell
chief of police. The appointment was a t
once confirmed, a Smyths alderman hav-
ing recovered from his illness and one of
the opponents of the administration vot-
ing with the mayor.
The best people of the city bitterly resent
the action taken by the governor, and
they accuse him of having prostituted his
high office for political purposes.
