Easter Hats.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
, The spring hats show that divided opin-
ions possess the designers, as the new de-
signs show styles some Of which may be
worn on and some off the brow, the latter
requiring a young and round face, while the
former apparently hides some OF the ravages
Of time. Flowers, plain and fancy ribbons,
taffeta, tulle, net, quilts, ostrich tips and
feathers. buckles and fancy braid effects
are prominent on the new hats.

Dinner Gowns.
The dinner gowns made up for Lenten
dinners are not quite so low in the neck as
were the dinner and ball gowns earlier
in the season. and many of them have long
tigh-fitting lace sleeves. A very charming
dinner gown Of pale yellow mousseIine de
sole is made with entre-derx of valencien-
mes lace and bands of the tucked mousse
line de sole. This is put over a f1ame-col-
ored silk petticoat which shows through
the Valenciennes lace, giving odd touches of
color. The skirt is very long, and Is fin

edged with the Valencaennes lace The

 Birmingham, January 14.-As have predicted for tine past few days the cotton market is beginning to show a slight in- clination to sag off under the pressure of realizing sales. which bound to fol- low the rise of the past two months. Liv- erpool opened at a decline of about half a point this morning, and closed at un- changed figures with spot sales of 5000 bales for the day. Our market opened practically unchanged from last nights closing prices, and declined about to 4 points for the day, closing near the bottom figures
 In consequence of the continued rainy weather prevailing throughout the south eastern belt. the movement of cotton was materially curtaied and it is fair to pre- sume that it would take at least a weeks good weather to get the roads in a passing good condition. Many fields in this section are yet white with unpicked cotton. sight unusual at this season of the year, and one that will have it's effect when final comes.

Dry Goods

New York, January A.-The dry goods market closed with fair results for the week. The volume of business passing has been heavy as is inevitably the case at this time of the year. But it has not met the expectations of sellers in all depart ments. The jobbing trade took hold of new goods with considerable enthusiasm Staple cottons have shown less satisfac- tory results. Print cloths still maintain their firm position. The week has shown generally good results in woolen ani worsted goods. There have been many buyers in town and these have evinced much interest in the newly opened heavy 'ghts.

Paine, Murphy 6 Co.'S grain letter:
 Birmingham, January H.-Early foreign cables showed prices in the wheat markets unchanged, with but little doing. This was reflected in our local market, which opened at an advance of about Bc compared with last nights closing prices, and during the half session the volume of business was limited almost entirely to the local pit trad CTS, and an advance of about A cent was recorded for the day, the closing prices being about the best. The coarser cereals also came in for their share of inactivity and commission house orders went begging at a small fraction from prevailing prices. In the provision markets there was some small trading, mostly of the evening up character, and the results of the days transactions were not worth mentioning. We are still bullish on this market.

IrIsi Of South Carolina Lynehers In Fed.
eral Court.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 8.-Fifteen
prominent citizens of Lake City, S. c.,
WILL be put on trial here in the United
states circuit court during the week to
answer the charge Of having lynched
postmaster Frazer B. Baker, more than
year ago. Besides killing the post
master, who was q negro, the alleged
lynchers will have to answer for killing
Bakers infant child, and for burning
the Lake City postoffice, with all its
effects. 1t is said here that other ar
rests viii be made before the case is
taken up.
This is the first time on record that
the federal government has come into
the South to take up lynching trial.
The murder Of Baker was probably the
most brutal crime known in the his.
tory of the state. Baker was appointed
postmaster at Lake City, and before he
took charge of the Office, he was warned
to keep away. He refused, and an At
tempt was made to kill him, soon after
his commission was received. This
failed, and then regular band was or.
ganized to put him out of the way.
According to the testimony given at
the preliminary hearing by NEWMAN
and Lee, who turned states evidence,
the Lake City band Of lynchers was or.
ganized for the special purpose Of kill.
ing Baker. The negro had refused te
leave town, and give up the Office and
the white people rebelled at the idea OF
Q colored postmaster.

to send all sick and wounded home. as

reason, why they should return. such as
the support of families and the loss of

General Otis will decide such questions
on their merits. The volunteers in the

until they can be spared. and the pres

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April "a
great deal of indignation has been felt
bv both Americans and Porto Ricans
here since the publication of reports
that the people of this island were ripe
for insurrection. 1t is very hard to un-
derstand how such alarming rumors
originated. There has never been any
organized effort or attempt to organize
an insurrection in this island since the
occupation by the American forces.
The natives have no arms, they have no
organization, and, what is more to the
point, they have not the disposition to
rebel. The officials who constitute the
military and local government are very
much annoyed over the reports WHICH
seem to have been inspired by those
who have not the interest Of the islands
