SOME OF THE NEW AUTUMN MILLINERY.

ton. The new bourette cheviOts in all
their designs are made up into such warm
looking and weather resisting suits that it
is no wonder that half the women turn
from the lighter novelties and go back to
look again at the wooden suits and goods.
The bourette cheviots are those with little
knobs and knots set closely together. The
boucle cheviots are those with tiny curls
of mohair above the surface. The novelty
goods in woods and silk and woods are too
numerous to mention, but all are good,
warm, durable and handsome, in rich col
ors, as betit the season.
There is an unusually heavy demand for
the black, dark blue, drab and brown era
vanettes. They are used for cycling suits
to the almost entire exclusion of other
fabrics. These are perfectly dyed and are
waterproof, and the only fault that l can
find with the fabric is that it is n little
heavy, but it requires no lining. For walk
ing suits for business and for IA round doz-
en- of other things these cravanettes arc
employed. They are made with short fly
front coats or tl1. D.sJUps of some kind.
Some have snort military cape to wear
over the shoulders. No matter what the
color or style I'll making, these are always
handsome
The new silks are generally speaking,
more remarkable tor brilliancy of color
than solid quality but in these days of
rapid changes perhaps that is II good idea,
as the silk is cheap. Indeed, | wonder how
it can be sold us cneaply as it is. In some
places one finds chameleon tatfcta as low
as 80 cents IA yard. Changeable brocaded
taiGeta is offered at 40 cents, and very crisp,
bright black taffeta q Inches wide is sold
at 40 cents, This calls to mind that l read
in The Cosmopolitan Magazine yesterday
that silk is now initiated 80 closely that no
one could tell the difference, except the
imitation has brighter gloss and sharper
/ rustic. 1t Is mAGe of wood fiber and re-
duced chemically to practically the same
substance as the iilaments of raw silk, and
theE x is woven and finished in the same
way. Perhaps that has something to do
with the choapncss of silk. Anyhow let us
all be thankful that we can have the dainty
staff.
There are perhaps 30 designs of colored
MORE velours These are exceptionally
rich and elegant. The gold and silver satin
damask is almost too magnificent, but
there are times and places where it is suit
ably worn. The price of "A yard of this
would buy another whole gown of less pre-
tentious material, but perhaps it would,
after all, not be so satisfying There are
some unusually rich and sumptuous satin
brocades, both in colors and in plain
blacks The colors are artistic to degree.

There is something for every one in the
millinery for this fall There are neat ana
dainty hats, pert and impudent ones, Gle.
CANT ana quiet ones, loud and noisy ones,
besides many others too numerous to men
ton i'm detail. Some are essentially femi-
nine, but there are many mannish looking
things There are creations bearing the
impress Of historical research and others
that have certainly been born of today
Some are of straw in fancy braids, some of
smooth felt and others of silk beaver
These laat generally havea high bell crown
in white, cream, drah or fnwn color, with
O. Black q G,rn brown brim. In some cases
this style i, laNishly trimmed with fcath-
ers, velvet, buckles and other things, but
quite as often there is no garniture beyond
IA band of velvet with II small gold buckle
This is very trying simplicity, and none
but vcritablc beauty would dare to wear
one.
The alpine hat for ordinary wear gains
in favor and is seen in all the season col
ors in hard and in soft felt. One very
pretty one was of drab with band of gar
net velvet all around the brim and band
around the crown In front was a sort of
Jacobs ladder made of white lace and gar
net velvet, set up on the crown, and row
was twisted around the brim below the fiat
velvet hand Two male hluC ouills with
garnet centers were stuck carelessly in on
the left side. While some ladies prefer
that their alpine hats shall be severely
plain. others have theirs literally smothered
in all sorts of garnishing. There was an odd
little shape that made one think of the old
English prints The hrim was not over two

perky little AIR. Still 1t was made to wear
with a half mourning gown. The big
plumes continue to curl over the tops of
some astounding hats and to give very
commanding and military air to the new
woman. Yet, really, when all is said, the
hats of the fall of 1896 are tasteful, and,
while sometimes gorgeous, are in the
main, everything one could desire. Per
haps this is because there are so many that
one may choose from.
Among the novelties in trimming one
finds some beautiful new changeable taf-
feta ribbons with velvet edges. This gives
very rich effect, and to those who like
brilliant hues It is pleasing The same
taffcta, grosgrdln and MORE ribbons that
have been in vogue all summer are SO still
and doubtless win remain in fashion.
There are some metallic brocades in some
of the very richest Persian ribbons. The
cheney designs in their exquisite, vague
flgurings will he largely used for evening
hats and bonnets And, OH dear! some the
atcr hats have an appalling array of plumes
great bows and tulle trimmings All the
stores have their openings this week, but
the favored fashion editor had their beau
ties displayed for her special benefit a week
earlier, and have seen so much and so
many things that l could not tell of them in
a week But | must mention the fancy
feathers and different kinds of birds, the
wings, the agrets, the fluffy pompons
and the many limitations of the birds of
paradise. The MORE antique ribbons for
millinery are, l think, the handsomest l
ever siUw. Some of it is made with a som
Der tint like bengalne, while others have
a gloss higher than taffcta.
Among other things, l find new line
of laces intended for making waists. This
Is in fancy net and may be gathered loose
ly over "A silk blouse or modelled into a
bolero Some have bands to trim with,
and some of it is wide enough for flounce
skirts The one entirely new lace is the
arabic This promises great durability
There are any number of bolerOs and figaros
fashioned of renaissance lace and Russian
as we'll as duchess lace. These dainty and
dressy articles are to be sewed to some suit
able lining or else directly on the waist of
the gown they are to decorate, whether it
is high or low in the neck, for evening or
for the street. One sees these boleros on
many gowns. They are particularly hand
some over fine broadcloth, and they are
seen also on several of the new rough
woods, though hardly like the combina.

inches wide, ard the funny bell crown was
about five in height, and the top of this was
exactly as wide as the brim. 1t was made
of braided strips of drab felt. A half
wreath OF pink asters encircled the right
side of the crown and then climbed up
above the top of the crown five or six inch
es On the left side was Il fiat pink bow.
There are capOtcs without number, each
of these seeming to be fashioned with u
view to the utilization of some scrap of
lace or velvet not large enough for any
thing else. But they are always pretty
and make the wearer look lovely. Turbans
are with us in large numbers. One of the
newest idc..s is to have a hat brim of
smooth or beaver felt. with IL soft, puffed
crown of velvet or brocade or indeed any
thing that comes handy. l saw one of
these soft, pulled crowns of plaid velvet
another of tatTeta, and still another of
pretty, soft Chinese Grape in two tones
Some Of these crowns are disguised by
having an outstanding quilting all around
them of velvet, mOirc, satin or taffeta, and
in some instances lace. There is new
kind of hand wrought lace, called point
d'arabe, which lends itself well to this style
of use, as 1t is rich and stiff much like the
venetian point
Some take the felt hats now shown and
cut the crown out and gather loosely "A
disk of material just us large us the brim
is round, and this forms pulled crown of
the right size, This can be afterward
trimmed in any way one fancies. Parrots,
blackbirds and birds of paradise are all
seen, to say nothing Of lot of nondcscripts
that never were Matched from eggs. These
were the outcome of the inventive French

JOHN BOYD TEACHER.


Interesting Career of the Democratic Can
didate For Governor of New York.
John Boyd Thachcr, the Democratic
nominee for governor of New York, comes
of old New England stock, his first Amer
lean ancestor having been the Rev. Thorn
as Thatcher, who was the first pastor of the
famous Old South church of Boston. His
father removed from Rhode Island to AL
bany in 1918 and established Il manufac-
tory of car Wheels which business is now
conducted by his two sons.
Mr.. Thatcher was born in BallstOn Cen
ter, y. y, in S47 and was graduated from
Williams college in 1869. After thorough
ly learning the business he was taken into
the manufacturing firm by his father. He
did not take an active interest in politics
until 1888, when he was elected a member
of the state senate. Since then he has been
an active and aggressive figure in the po
litical arena. He is credited with introduc-
ing many measures favored by working
men, among them being the adjustment
OF prison labor contracts and the tenement
house reform bills,
IN 1886 Mr.. Thatcher was elected mayor
of Albany and took charge of the bicenten-

MAN OF MYSTERY, is lyman


The Patrick lyman who is said to have
been arrested in France in connection with
The alleged plot to blow up Queen Victoria
and the car has of late years succeeded in
surrounding himself and his actions with
good deal of mystcry. Ever since the
Phoenix park assassination he has figured
as the No. who alone knew the names
and plots of the real murdcrcrs.
There are those who doubt, however,
that lyman over figured prominently in
that conspiracy, as his claims to being
No. l are founded chiefly on his own as
sertions. Percy Patrick Joseph lyman is
his full name He WAS born in the town
of Wexford, Ireland, in 1912 His father
was blacksmith who finally moved to
Kingston, where he opc0ed II shooting gal
lery and tried hard to support his family.

ness for books, he decided when about 16
that he had no liking for the priesthood
