that Gaiteau did not assassinate Presi-

This morning he appeared at the police
court in a new role, claiming to es an
attorney He started in by doing a smart
piece OF Gaping about the courthouse

colored man in distress, and discovered
by interrogating him that his son was
locked up for assault. Diamond talked

then dashed into Judge KitnhaHs court TO
see il any OF the Garfield conspiTat0Ts

Judge Kinball's attention was called to
the actions of Diamond, who was rushing
hither and thither with bunch Of gel
Low papers in his hand. His honor sent for
Detectives Carter, Galiaher and Lacey to
take the man in custody.
In the meantime Diamond made his ap-

to defend the colOTed man from whose
father he lad received the 50 retainer.
Judge Miller was informed how diamond
had secured the 50 fee from TIE Oh ColOred

Mr. W A Holland, of No 925 Eighth
street northwest, stated today that he has
received a letter from Gen. FItZhugh Lee
to the effect that he has made diligent
dnigent search in Cuba for Mr. Holland
son. william r. b Holland, and has thus
far been unable to find him. heletter con-
veys the assurance that further search for
the young man Will be instituted.
Young Holland, it will be recalled, left
home on December Is, 1895, for the pUr-
pose OF entering the office OF physician
in New York city.
He had been a student in the medical
department Of Columbian University, and
was to have graduated last fan. Being
but nineteen years OF age, and entertaining
the idea that he was too young to gradu-
ate. he left the school En- route to New
York he wrote letter 70 his parents, this
communication being the last news they
have received of him.
The weeks rolled on and Mr.. Holland en-
gagged the services of detectives in va
rious cities and distributed thousands of
circulars descriptive of the youth
These efforts proving of no avail, il was
thought that the young man had gone
to Cuba, and Gen. Lee was fmrortuned to
search for him. That his efforts in this
direction have proved futile is shown by
his letter to Mr.. Holland. The young man
was of fair complexion, with light curly
hair and grayish-blue eyes. He was about
feet inches in height.
He was member of Calvary baptist
Church, and was quiet and studious in his
habits The parents entertain the hope
that he will yet be found.

The hat counters are most crowded.
There's a pretty woman, with soft, dull
gold hair, who is evidently fond of bright
colors, for her hat is a mixture of red and
black. At present she is trying ON a hat
that has no crown. 1t is nothing but three
circles of rough coral straw, flounced
around in even, deep scollops. The crown
is filled in with wreath of green leaves
and coral-colored astors, that has several
high standing sprays in front. Hats of
this style come in all colors, and viii prob
ably be very popular. To a great extent
they replace the sailor hat of last season
A little further along two French women
stand chatting brightly. The younger,
piquant brunette, has already bought her
hat. 1t was of coarse, cream straw trim
med with wreath of bright blue bachelor
buttons, with sprays of oats intermfngied
Two rosettes of blue ribbon hold the brfm
up in the back, while at the left side several
loops of stiff wire are loosely twisted with
the same ribbon. This hat gives inspiration
to girl who is wondering what she shall
buy to wear with a blue tailor-made suit
Flower turbans will be much worn for the
Eastertide. The favorite flowers are VIC
lets, roses and pansies. A quaint turban is
entirely of green tulle, and has here and
there soft moss rosebud, with a large
spray of them outstanding at the side. An
other rather more chic in appearance is
adorned with down y thistles. Scotch heath
er is favored for evening hats. 1t is used
in its pinkest shades ON turbaps wound
with ropes of green stems. These ropes of
stems are particularly effective.
