over the hair at the back. This same
style OF hat will be copied later in the
dark felts, and also in velvet.
Velvet toques are to be extremely fash
ionable again this season. They are
rather different in shape from those worn
last year, not quite so large, but, like
them, are very soft in effect. They are
made in different colored v~elvets. One
an especially attractive one-from la
maison Reboux, is Of a sapphire-blue vel
vet, and has a small crown Of shirred
chiffon Of a lighter shade. The hat is
trimmed with two ostrich-feather tips of
a deeper blue, and the stiff bows OF vel
vet ribbon are Of a very much lighter
blue. To wear with this hat is a stiff
collarette, very high in the throat, and
trimmed around the edge with ostrich
tips.- Harper's Bazaar.

reports tina thave been in circulation IN
this city in regard to the conduct OF their
men since their arrival In this city on
Monday In speaking on the subject yes
terday, Captain Miller said that he was
anxious to have these reports inveSti-
gated and had taken the necessary steps
so that the company might either prove
a clean record or IL any OF those alleged
charges should be sustained II might be
disbanded at once, instead OF being mus
tered in with stained reputation.
On Monday, the day OF the arrival OF
the company, the men were told upon
reaching the mess hall at supper time
that they could not be furnished with
supper. Thinking that they were being
Disseminated against, as a new organi-
cation OF entirely raw recruits. they be.
came disagruntled and expressed theb
dissatisfaction quite freely.
NO DISCRIMINATION.
The fact IN the matter was. however.
that all three Lynchburg companies were
treated alike. They arrived in camp only
at o'clock in the afternoon AID were
given their dinners at once. Just one
hour after the Lynchburg men had an
ished their dinner. the Lee Rtfess. OF
Norfolk. who had been here since Sat-
urday. and who had their dinner at
o CLOCK, were HldTtntu INTO Auc ulorc
hall for supper and It was impossible on
that evening to furnish another meal on
the other three companies.
Captain Miller also stated that his men
were without sufficient military instruc-
ton and discipline and not used 10 obey
ing strict orders.
The general opinion prevails among the
authorities in Camp Lee that the men,
bers OF the F'itz Lee Rifies have already

Whether Mr.. Ryan's remarks on MISS
