SAILOR HATS TRYING.
The LoS-Croyvnctl, Narrower ri m NJ c Il
Ones Worn This Year Are
UnbccominE.

The low-crowned, narrow-brimmed
straw sailor of the season is going to
rob the summer girl of much of her
beauty, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. Several dozen women of
all degrees of good looks fitted sailor
hats on at one of the big shops and
gazed disapprovingly in the mirror at
themselves. There were all sorts of
sailor hats on the tables and counters,
l..g-cIuwTrcd, IIatrow-brimmed ones o.
coarse straw, higher crowned, broader
brimmed ones of fine straw, and var
ious versions of each variety. The
saleswoman declared that they were
all this years model. The customers
murmurcd that only the low-crowmcd,
broad-brimmed hats were new. Then

young woman, as she resumed her own
ilowery hat after vainly searching for
n becoming sailor among the low
crowned. coarse affairs. "I shall ha2t
up my last years hat and wear that.

anyway"

looked about the size of a postage

DONE WITH A RIFLE.
The Head of M Indian Shc Out with
One Hundred and Fifty
Two Bullets.

Adolph Toepperwein, San Antonio's
marvellous young rifle shot, lately per-
formed another of his astonishing
fcats, reports the Philadelphia Record.
With .22-calibcr rifle he stood at
distance of 20 feet from double thicE
ness of heavy paper, about three feet
long by two feet wide, and shot on it
the outlines of an Indians head. 1t
took exactly 1872 shots to do the trick.
1t was frce-hand drawing, as the figure
was not traced on the paper before
hand This made the feat especially
difficult, as ''Tep" had to place every
shot with reference to where its prede-
ccssor had gone, and where all the fol-
lowing shots were to go. In other
words, he had to have every detail of
the "drawing" planned out and con-
stantly in his minds eye while he was
shooting. One shot fred n fraction of
an inch wild would have spoiled the
whole picture.
1t is not clear whether or no this
marksman is member of Rooscvelt's
regiment of rough riders. If he isn't
he ought to be.

WARSHIpS FOR CHINA.
fhe Baltimore and Petrol to Get as Near
the Chinese Capital as
Possible.

Washing ton, Oct. 4. -Secretary Long.
hpon advices received at the state de.
partment showing the existence of
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for warship to approach.
The vessels selected for this undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrol.
1t is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the Taku
forts atSthe entrance of the Pang-He
river upon which Pekin is situated,
but the Petrol, being of smaller pro-
portions, may be able to reach TEN
Tsin, 80 miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Pekin.
The officials regret that there is not

ELECTRIC, LIGHT SYSTEM.
The Santa Fe to Use the Electricity Evolved
from the Friction OF the Car
AXlRa.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-The Santa Fe road
has made arrangements to light all
the cars of it's limited train running
between Chicago and Los Angeles,
CAL, distance of 2,245 miles, with
electricity evolved from the friction
of the car axles. The electric equip
ment of each train will aggregate 4, 92S
candle power. All berths will be pro-
vided with berth lights, and this will
be the first train in the world carry
ing such a large supply of light service
exclusively from the car axles. The
introduction of this system on the linn
tied trains will mark quite departure
from previous practice, which necessi-
tated large light plant in the bag
gage car. The objection to this plan
is that if the baggage car meets with
an accident, or the plant is out of or
der, the entire light output of the
train is deranged. In the axle light
system such a thing cannot happen.
Each car has it's own plant, which is
small, but compact and complete, con-

Hawaiian Islands to BE Governed on the
same Plan . the District of Column
bla, 1t Is Said.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Hawaii is to
have a government patterned after
that of the District of Columbia, if re-
PORTS are trie. The system here was
devised by Senator William P. White.
of Maryland, and is satisfactory to a
majority of the residents of Washing
ton. in spite of the perennial agitation
for "home rule" on the part of mi
nority here. The general government
assumes one-half the taxes. The Dis
trict of Colnm bia is the ward of the gov
eminent just as the Hawaiian islands
now are; therefore, the proposition
to govern the recently-annexed de-
tendency in a similar manner meets
with much favor, and the prospect is
it will receive the sanction of con-
gress. The establishment of this sys-
tenn for the Hawaiian islands will
avoid all the endorsements and COM
plications which it is feared would re-
suit from a territorial form of govern
ment, including even a modified suf

OF the treasury TO compel him to award them

death blow to popular loans The legal pro-
ceedines are the direct outcome Of the efforts
of the department to comply with the letter OF
the law. Congress provided that the bonds
should be held by popular subscription. and to
secure the widespread distribution of the Sc
cur1ties certain regulations were made and

sary funds were furnished by the banks and
the subscribers assigned their purchases to
the banks as security. They were to receive
commissions ranging from one to 2h per cent

discovered the scheme and all such subscribers
were thrown out as fast as they were discov-
cred Now the principals in the transactions
are trying by means Of legal proceedings to
force the secretary to give them the bonds AS
they are at a premium of about five per cent,
success will be very profitable, but it will in
evitably result in preventing the department
from ever placing another loan on the popular
plan.
