USEFUL HATS.

Under this total come all the
hats that can be worn in bad
Weather as well as on pleasant days.
Ostrich feathers, of course, cannot
be used as trimming on these hats,
nor can any kind Of material be us
al in their construction that will be
injured by exposure to the elements.
Felt is not, in reality, much more
durable than velvet, unless it is OF
the best quality ; but it is greatly
used, and the Alpine shape 50 pop
alar for golf, but differently trimm-
Cd, is very smart. The brim is
traighter than last season, with
yarcely any curve, although some
STYLES turn up at one side. A rib
bon band around the crown, the
brim bound with ribbon, and at the
left side bird with long tail
feathers is the favorite trimming.
Gray hats in this shape are consid-
cred newer than the black or brown
ones, and the binding and band can
either be gray or black, as desired.
A smart turban shape in black felt
is bound with velvet, has a band of
velvet around the crown and stiff
wings at the left side. An OWLS
head with two wide stiff wing
feathers behind it is often used in
stead of the black wings. This
using of birds heads is one of the
seasons tads, and the poor owl has
been chasen as the victim of this
winters cruelty. Pigeons and doves
are also greatly admired for hat
trimmings, but fortunately in their
case, the supply is equal to the de-
mand, and there need not be the
same wholesale slaughter as with
the owls. Combining m owls head
with phcasants' tail feathers is an
other new style--not a pretty one.
On the turban, toquc, and Il sort OF
Slor shape these trimmings are
greatly used and the pheasants'
breasts, with their soft and bcauti-
tul coloring, show to great advant-
age on a dark brown felt.
4 toquc Of Drained felt trimmed
with velvet is one of the smartcst
among the new styles. 1t is larger
Than the toqucs worn during the
summer, and should be placed fur
ther forward on the head. 1t is Il
shape that comes in brown, blue and
black; the smartcst though, is the
black. Both soft and stiff felts are
Used. The soft are, as a rule, made
Of braid, and resemble wonderfully
lhe straw. One old but smart hat
Of brown felt, is trimmed with
brown velvet and pheasant's wings,
and at the back the brim is turned
up and shows a rosette of apple
green velvet.-Harpcr's Basar.

Resisted Arrest.

Some months ago Harry Gloston
was indicted for larceny and placed
in Jail to await his trial. In the
mean time he was bailed out and
resumed his work at plaisance.
When his case was fixed for trial
and it became necessary for him to
be present in court, he did not
show up. Friday he was located
by Duputy Ambrose Vidrine, who
in company with negro went to
arrest him. When they came upon
him in a buggy with his father he
refused to dismount, adding that
no white s- of b. could
arrest him. A red hot scuffe ensu-
ed in which the brawny deputy
came out ahead by neck. The
negro was considerably bruised
when the deputy reached here with
him, though we venture to say that
he didn't get near what he deserv-
ed.
Not very long afterwards the
brother of the man arrested got
into difficulty with the negro,
Elor Theiry, who assisted Mr.. Vid-
rine in making the arrest. The
other man attempted to strike
Theiry with q brass knuckle, where
upon Theiry stabbed him with q
knife, and in the scuffie the knife
was broken off In his body.

MEETING POSTPONED.

Special to the 81. Landry Clarion.
Lafayette, La, Oct. 12th.--The
conference Of Health authorities of
the several parishes, called to meet
In this place to-day, has been post
poned until next Thursday, the
14th.
This action was brought about
by the meeting at Lake Charles
yesterday, and by the breaking out
of fever at Galveston.
There will be strong pressure
brought to bear on the members of
the conference to modify quaran-
tine regulations SO as to resume
train traffic under the Carter sys-
tenn of fumigation. But some of
the towns, notably Rayne and
Crowley, are liable to seriously OBJ
iect to this proposition.
A train service was inaugurated
yesterday between Lafayette and
Lake Charles that amounts to very
little better than none at all. A
mixed train snow run between
these two points every other day,
lbutsn no freight or passengers are
taken on east Of Lafayette or west
of Lake Charles.

Galveston, Texas, Oct. 10Th
The island city is in culver of
excitement. Every department,
every business, is upturned. The
people are absolutely frenzied, and
are trying to flee, only to find every
avenue blocked by rigid quaran-
tine restrictions. Galveston stands
isolated, cut off from the balance of
the world, and its people are prae-
tically cooped in and forced to face
the dreaded scourge. The people
here are not accustomed to facing
the yellow monster, and the gravi-
ty of the situation is 1llagnified a
hundred fold. Rumors are swift
to take wings and speed around,
frightening the people and render
ing the situation many times worse
than it really is.
In reality there is no danger.
The season is too far advanced to-
wards winter for that. &c is not
expected that it will even take a
good foot hold.
In one respect DIR. Guiteras has
been vindicated In Galveston. DIR.
Swearanger, the Health officer of
Texas was present at the exanfn-
alton of one patient yesterday, and
agreed fully with the Government
expert that the case was typical
yellow fever.
Yesterday there were three new
cases declared here.
