While the hats of this season are startling in the colors, there is q grow ing tendency to use only one color in it's various shades, on each.
 Foulards promise to be plentiful this summer. and blue, with white outline, in "microbe" designs, seems to be well in the favored foreground.
 Taffetas gain in favor, for all there are some of them that won't wear well enough to pay for making them up, to say nothing of the cost of the silk.
 Even little tots of three years wear woolen frocks of small checks, plaids or mixtures of serge, cheviot or canvas weaves in shades of brown, green, tan and bright blue.
 A rev decoration shows tabs Of lace over the shoulders half way to the belt. with ribbon in the center of the tabs, held by buckle at the end and loops over the waist.
 Black pointd esprit silk net is in great Gse, both for making wholly new toilets and waists and for freshening gowns and bodiees of black satin, Inoire, taf. feta, India silk and grenadine.
 Rosebud printed china silks and plain shades of the same soft silks in light shades have long been favored for little girls. Lace-edged ruffies. velvet ribbon, satin bows and lace are the only trim mings for these silken fabrics.

he Luesz of Sea Captain yVreeicet
 Near the Caroline Islands.

The Lue3z of a Sen Captain Wrecked
 Near the Caroline Islands.
 Capt. Curtis, of the wheat ship Euryd- ice, had an experience within the past 12 months that might make many skipper envious, having ruled as king of group of islands in the South Pa cific ocean. Capt. Curtis was the first officer of the ship Flora E. Stafford, which was lost at sea about year ago.
 When the Stafford was given up," said Capt. Curtis, i've lowered the boats and left her at sea We had six men in one boat, and the captain went in an other boat. My boat headed for the Caroline islands, and about IS days we came in sight of land. Wewere roy ally welcomed by the natives, who could not do enough to honor us. Ikicikee, king of the Carolines,. in- sisted that he should abdicate his throne and make me his successor. I did not assume the royal garments and robes, for etiquette down there requires none of them, but I took the scepter and ruled over those islands for three months. 1 wooed and won the ex-king's daughter, and I also gave out orders against cannibalism, for I thought some of the Stafford's crew might drift ashore. My orders were strio iY. obeyed, for I was an absolute monarch They allowed me little time to sleep. Every night was compelled to start the hooIah-hoolah dances with the woIl-. en, and every day and night some. del- egations of natives from other islands in the group would call upon me to aT3i- trate in some murder case. Those fel- loes were always killing each other. I would get in their canoes and go with them. would hear the testimony decide who was guilty My deeis D was final, and the guilty nan would Dc shot.
 After remaining onthe islands three months I took passage on the first steamer that passed I was landed at Manila, in the Philippines, and reached there in time to see the exeeu- ton of four insurgents. They were learned native doctors. They were led out to public park and shot.by half regiment of soldiers. They fen to the earth pierced with a score of bullets There was fighting on the island all the time No one was allowed in the streets after nine o'clock at night. The captain of the Stafford had landed safe ly at Manila eight days after the wreck"
 After leaving Manila Capt. Curtis succeeded in reaching Hong Kong, where he was at once placed in com mand of the EuFydice. He did not tell his experience until reaching the sound. The Eurydice broke all rec ords, coming from Hong Kong in 19 days.-Seattle Times.

A pretty manner of serving oranges for a dessert is thus: Peel the oranges down to the stem end; leave tiny piece of skin there. Remove the white part, which has bitter taste, from half the peels and with sharp scissors cut into shreds. For half a dozen oranges take 11b teacupfuls of water and pour it over the shredded rind. Add 11s cupfuls Of eranulated sugar and boil until it is iellied sirup. Separate the oranges into small sections, leaving them fastened together at the stem end, and starting from the lower part of the orange to separate the pieces. Arrange them upon a fiat dish; then, by spoonfuls, slowly pour the liquid jelly over the fruit. Let them become perfectly cold before serving ng-Boston Globe.

large, powerfully built fellow and his acts
show him TO be as desperate and reckless
as he is powerful. In the fall of 1895 Sing

He literally hacked the fellow to pieces

SHAKESPEARE, GAY OR SAD
Business Man and Student Give
Their Views of

Th omas Magee and Professor Gayley
Entertain an Audience a Golden

A business man and a professor Of the
University of California expressed their
sentiments concerning Shakespeare before
a large audience for the benefit of the Mer-
camille Library Auxiliary Thursday even
ing at Golden Gate Hall. It was supposed
that the estimate OF the business man and
that of the student would serve as a foil,
each for the other. AS it developed, how
ever, The admiration of the business man
was expressed in much the warmer and
more sympa thetic terms.
The business man was Thomas Magee,
the student Professor Charles Mills Gay
ley of the State university.
Professor Gayley was allotted the first
fortv-ive minutes, in which he rapidly
ran through the course of Shakespeare
development as revealed in his plays. He
SAID it was far from him and should be
from all to simply fail down before and
cry, "Oh. thoul' to Shakespeare and all

Baker has repeatedly stated that he did
not believe that the accused was one OF
the robbers. However, the District Attor-
ney of Kern protested against the grant
ing of a pardon and the directors did not
feel at liberty to make recommendation
for it until the protest was withdrawn,
which was done recently. They believe
that If Sullivan is not pardoned he will
become crazy, as his mind has become af-
fected by brooding over his troubles. Sui
livan has served half of his term, allowing
for credits for good behavior.
Very favora bic reports were received
upon the work in the iutemili. Under
the new management there are more bags

than at any time during the preceding
year. The disc pline among the prisoners

Mccarthy, head of the company, who is

The letter says tnat the writer was in

three young men who had been prospect

agreed upon was $1,000 and all arrange
ments for the tranfer had been made.
Before signing the agreement, however,
the young men took a saunter over

The prison directors decided to recon-

to Thomas Sullivan, who is serving a
fourteen-year sentence for robbery. Sulli-
van is a rough railroad laborer, but the
directors do not believe that he is guilty
OF the crime for which he was convicted.

the mechanical situation and. the humor
that makes the characters laugh. Later
the characters, grown 10 be flesh and

ment
The next two stages illustrate the COM
edy of types-the comedy of character.
The third period produces no comedy
or nothing heavier than Measure for
Measure" and "Alps Well That Ends
Well" The fourth period discovers the
greatest comedy of all-the comedy of
ideals. In the first period are found the
COMEDY of Errors" Loves Labor
Lost, Two Gentlemen of Verona" In
the second are the Tanning of the
Shrew" and the Falstaff plays; the third,
the character comedies: the comedies Of
real life, discover "As You Like It"
Twelfth Night" Much Ado About
Nothing" The fourth period developed
those of various dramatic productions,
the romantic dramas, the comedy of
ideals such as the Winters Tale"
We see in the more somber plays the
spirit of man who has passed through
the valley of the shadow and in his later
comedies humor representing the broad
est sympathies; il is of a man who has
sunk his plummet into the depth of hu-
men experience and embraces the world
with never-failing arms.
Thomas Magee went directly to his sub
ject when introduced. He placed Shake
spesre next TO The Bible. He named as
the worlds four great geniuses in .itera-
ture Shakespeare, Eschylus, Sophocles aud
Euripides and the greatest of these
Shakespeare. To read the Greeks, he said,
was like embracing the cold beauty OF
their marble images rather than placing
ones arms about a loved woman in
reading Shakespeare. He dealt in human
life. 1t is Joy to study the woman of
Shakespeare, ne said. Remembering how
Shakespeare began his married life in a
mistake and how he atoned-he never
forgot his home.
Shakespeare, like all great men, was
prod uced in tine of world throes, at a
time when the air was afame with poetry,
