NEW IDEAS nv HATS

NEW IDEAS IN HATS.
The hats presented this week illustrate
the new ideas. The one worn by the fair
maid in the coat with the revers and
epaulettes combined is a lovely color COM
bination Of white and mauve violets and
a black aigrette. The entirely novel hat
on the other Easter girl is a black chip
Marquise lined with white, the crown en-
circled with the palest Of La France roses,
and a large blackbird glittering with jet
spangles perched On one side. The other
hats explain themselves, while the neck
wear can be constructed by skilful
fingers from the illustration.
A kindly conturiere showed me such a
lovely dancing frock to be worn by a de-
butante Of this season. It's material was
ivory silk-the real Japanese silk. which
must not be COMPOUNDED with Shanghai,
or the ordinary thin q Of the same
material. 1t was not possible, however,
to see much of the original stuff, for the
entire gown-skirt and bodice alike-was
covered with an application of true lovers
knots embroidered in the palest possible
shade Of blue velvet baby-ribbon. The
effect thus obtained was charming, and at
short distance the gown looked like the
most exquisite brocade. This bodice was
pounched, and had its deoolletage set into
a band Of white silk, covered with the
velvet embroidery. The sleeves were
Georgian in shape, tight-fitting. not even
a solpcon of fulness at the shoulders, ana
reaching Just to the bend of the elbow.
where they were finished by deep frills
of yellowish lace. A sash Of palest pink
chiffon enciEcled the waist, its long ends
edged with a frin composed of innumera-
bic lengths OF the pale blue velvet ribbon
sewn together. A knot OF pale pink vel
roses was fastened in front of the cor
sage, and. in place Of gloves, black silk
were TO be worn. Now, here is
a dress which the home-worker or an or
binary dressmaker could easily ac-
complish. Velvet b~aby-ribbon is a far
from expensive trimming, and O. carefully
transfer pattern and a pair OF
clever fingers are all that is needed to
transform a plain ivory silk gown into
one which would look as If it had come
from that paradise Of dress
makers-Paris. Try It and see.
The Georgian sleeves Of this frock are
the fashion OF tomorrow, and are
q safe model.

FOR BURIAL ROOM
Legislature Must Estab-
lish a Large Cemetery.
Two Localities Both on the Rail-
way Line - HalaWa District is
Mentloned--With Delay.

One OF the questions which the Gov
eminent will refer to the Legislature
next month will be the imperative need
for the provision without delay of fur
Their cemetery space near Honolulu.
All the burial grounds now in use are
practically without an inch of avail
able space. Several of them are over
crowded and have been for a number
of years. This is matter with which
the Board of Health has wrestled sew
eral times. At one time the Board
had all but decided upon a plan, when
it was found that legislative action
would be necessary. This was some
months ago.
When the subject was up last it
was pretty generally discussed. The
locality most favored at that time for
a new cemetery was near the railroad
in the valley of Kahauiki. Further
consideration has satisfied a number
of citizens and officials who had taken
an interest in the matter that Kahau-
Xxi will be too close to the town. If a
pumping plant in kalihi is added to
the water system it will be matter
of a few years at the most when the
population territory will have reached
Kahauiki.
The latest proposal is that land be
| selected beyond Halawa, which is not
a great distance in the direction of
town from Pearl Lochs This may
seem at first thought altogether too
| far from Honolulu. Viewed as pre-
| sented by one Of the officials, it is
! for all purposes no further away than
Kahauiki, the only other locality that
can be invaded. The Kahauiki plan in
cluded use Of railway trains entirely
instead of horse carriages and hearses.
| 1t will be the same for Halawa and
there can be very little difference if
any between the transportation figures,
while the time required to be used will
not be much more.
| Those who have looked into the ce-
metery matter carefully and consid-
cred all the poinl3 that might be raised
are at present in favor of going to Ha-
| lava for ground and will so urge upon
the Legislature. These gentlemen re-
present that the present situation must
| be relieved at once. Aside from all
other considerations, there enters into
the discussion the feature of protection
of public health.

Prompt Payment of a Big Sum


Dec. 4th, Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney Chicago draft
for ST., S10.96, payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
forward this large sum just at this
season Of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small, is certainly most con-
vincing evidence of the solvency of
one of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. Of the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard & Co.
entered that line, more than Is years
ago, the number that still exist can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Rouse Hazard & Co.report that their
present prospects are the brightest of
any time during all the years they
have been in business. They now have
bona fide orders from gilt-edged con-
Germs for larger number Of machines
than they ever had orders for at any
one time. Their export trade has been
growing in all parts of the world, and
if any one of the several large export
deals they have in sight is closed, they
will have orders for all the wheels they
can possible turn out during the sea-
son of 1898.
The next Australia will bring us a
full line of these wheels, Sylphs and
Overland Specials. They will have
more than their share of up-to-date
features. and will make up the most
elegant line of 1898 wheels that will
be seen here this year. We shall also
receive a line of ''KENSINGTONS" 1t
will pay you to wait.

"Tin Ships'' and "Dudes. "

The Hutchinson News is sending
out its compliments in the form Of a
card headed "Tin Ships and Dudes.
The card contains the following:
when naval appropriation bill
was under discussion in congress, Mr..
Jerry Simpson, congressman for the
Seventh district OF Kansas, said.
"'Mr. Speaker, am unalterably
opposed to spending the money CT the
American people for little tin ships

purpose than to furnish an asylum

the expense Of the common people.

the American people are groaning be-
meath the yoke Of Wall street and iat
contractors are bleeding the public
purse for the building Of useless ships

FOR TARGET PURPOSES.

=,
The agent and operator at Malnsprns
complained many times and often because
his signal board was so arranged that ne mad
to go outside to throw it Inc chlef rea,
son that he wanted to leave handspring and
go elsewhere on the line was that he hoped
to get an office somewhere along the roaV
where he could throw his signal board "
use Of wire cable, without going outdoors
at all. The man at Mogan point could 10
that, and so could the fellow down at Puck
erton.
1t was an injustice to compel him alone
OF all the chain OF station agents to go out
into the weather and heave away at the IRON
lever whenever he had orders for Second IA
or the stock train.
Aside from this chief reason for desire
to emigrate from handspring was the added
annoyance Of Scotty Marvin, the last OF the
cowboys, who got drunk and used to come
around and kick in the doors. Scotty was
the one peculiar character OF the place
beloved by everybody and yet nuisance to
all. He did not get on an occasional spree
and make life burden for the population
for few hours each time. No, that was
not Scotty's way. He preferred continual
drunk with various degrees of fullness.
When the degree of fullness was at its lowest
he would work for, borrow or beg money
enough to again raise it to the top notch, q
proceeding which was not difficult owing to
the number of friends he had. Aside from
his mania Of borrowing or begging-and they
amounted to the same thing, for he never

For the Fifth District.

Clay Center Times: The Fifth dis
trict ought to 60 into the state con-
vention at Hutchinson with pur-
pose and return with that purpose ac.
complished. The purpose should be
to secure for this district all the good
things it can and at the same time Sc
cure and give to the Republicans the
best state ticket 1t ever had. A
proper concert Of action among the
delegates from these ten counties will
surely nominate one and probably
two state officers from this district,
and the same concert or unity Of &C.
tion will give to our delegates such a
balance Of power in the convention
that no candidate for state office
would be named without the approv-
al Of the Fifth district. The success
or failure Of such purpose will de-
pend upon how the individual dele
gate brings himself to the convention.
To make it succeed the individual
delegate should refrain from falling
so deeply in love with any one candi-
date that he he cannot good natured-
ly surrender to The will Of the major
ity, and should refrain from making
iron bound promises to any can
didate. He should 60 to the
convention uniettered and pre-
pared to 60 into caucus with his
friends and neighbors there to decide
what is best for the party and the
Fifth district, and having 80 decided
90 into the convention and do it..
There is no surrender of independence
in thus organizing our voting forces.
The claims Of any candidate may be
brought before caucus and the one
who wins there will have greater
strength in the convention. We be-
| lieve that the Fifth district delegates
ought to act as unit in convention
to secure the best results to the whole
party, and to secuF unity Of action
they ought to go into caucus at
Hutchinson before going into conven-
tinn.

Few Of our readers, perhaps, know
that which is symbolized in the Cuban
flag 1t is as follows: The single
star set in diamond field Of blood with
five stripes leading towards II; the
stripes represent the five states on the
island of Cuba, the star represents
the union Of the island towards which
they are tending, and the red field
around it represents the blood through
which they must pass to attain their
independence.

Monday was an especially i'm
pressive Memorial day. For the first
time since the closing Of the war Of
the rebellion, thirty.three years ago.
there are In the field more soldiers
who may not return. In audiences
all over the Nation will be parents
who will think OF the boys in the field
or on the way to actual fighting and
who have left home on far journey,
the end OF which no man knows. 1t
brings back to the people OF this
Nation the days Of the rebellion more
clearly than they have come at any
time in a third Of century. And be.
cause OF the fact that there is another
war with US will the sacrifices Of the
earlier conflicts OF the Nations history
be recalled more intensely.
1t may be thought that the boys
who went to the present war are not
as much imbued with patriotism as
were those Of the days Of lS6l.65. In
fact there is no variance or differ.
ence. Human nature Is the same now
as then. People forget good deal in
thirty.tive years and it is likely that,
II the old conditions were to be lived
over again the same spirit would be
found as that which has sent the boys
to the front in the defense Of freedom
for Cuba. The boys in blue Of the
old army fought nobly and well. 1t
would be unjust to them to say that
they went into battle for pay or that
they are made OF the stuff that de-
mands perpetual alteration in order
to show the Nations recognition Of
their services. They fought because
they wanted the Nation to be one
country; the boys Of 1898 are fighting
because they want the Nation to be
the friend OF freedom. To their own
hearts with the consciousness OF work
well done must come the reward-the
great reward that passeth under
standing.
On May 30th grateful nation ex-
presses Its profound acknowledgment
Of its appreciation Of the deeds done
by the heroes passed away. Soon,
too soon, will "taps" have sounded
for every old soldier, but the services
Of Memorial day will not end-should
not end--so long as this nation exists.
Heap the graves high with flowers,
make the day one Of tender sympathy
not of gayety. 1t is the nations
great day Of remembrance. Who
knows how many fresh graves-both
Of old heroes and Of new ones--shall
be added by another year when the
time Of laying flowers on the lowly
mounds shall return.
