veteran of the Fifth Virginia Infantry,
who passed through the city Dec. 10Th

w. C. STRAUGHAN SUICIDES
A Former Citizen of Staunt0n Ends
His Own Life.

Bluefield, w. Va, Jan. 21.-W. G
Straughan, formerly of Staunton, sui
cided in this city last night. 1t is sap

lie was out of work and respondent
,, and left a note saying: II have been
suffering the mental agony OF the
damned recently and cannot stand it
any longer.'' He had destroyed all of
his papers and letters of every charac-
ter. Will be buried here by printers

William G. Straughan, whose un-
timely end is noted in the above spec
lal to the SPECTATOR, was well known
in this city where the greater part Of
his life was spent. He was printer
by trade and devoted his life to that
profession.
For a number of years he was an at
tache of the Weekly SPECTATOR and
later was a member of the firm of Yost
Blackburn & Straughan, publishers Of
Yost's Weekly. When misfortune
overlook that journal Mr.. Straughan g
mind began to weaken and during
that period made an attempt to end
his life. His friends.had him commit
ted to the Western State Hospital,
where he remained for some time.
Shortly after his departure from that
institution he left this city and located
in Bl-efield, w. Va where he accept
ed position on the Telegraph, daily
published by Hugh Shott,
also of this city. A short while since
he associated himself with the Even
ing Times, of Blueield, and, as
was thought by his friends here, doing
well, until notified to the contrary on
yesterday.
Mr.. Straughan at one time occupied
the position of Justice of the Peace in
this city and was at one election an
aspirant for Mayor. His father was,
before him a newspaper man, as was
also brother, who published paper
at Monterey. His mother still lives.
As stated in the special he will be
buried at Bluefield today. His
friends here were notified, but it is
presumed took no steps to have his
remains sent here.

est and most tempting toques and wide
hats, as the season advances, are moth
ing more than f1lmy coils Of tulle lightly
wound about the head and mixed or not
mixed with flowers. Given a light hand
a cloud Of lace and trif1e of fine wire
and YOU have the beginning and the end
Of millinery.
The shape is a matter Of conse-
quence. The summer girl who is pack
ing for the country is finding room for
hats that tip over the eyes and hats that
flare away from her face that's simple,
fanciful n even fantastic; hats large
and hats reduced to a rose and strings Of
tulle.
Nearly every girl provides herself
with n typical round toque, which
is not globular, but it's brim turns up
from front to left, and the trimming fol-
lows in the wake of the brim. This is a
safe, conventional hat, preferred for
ch~urch-going. It's trimmings know their
places and do not bicker for position. 1t
avoids single. prominent bows, and it
sticks as much as possible to one color.
1t is as pretty as a hat can be in mauve
tulle trimmed with violets, but it's effect
is more novel in pale green net, turned
up at the left just enough to show a
quantity Of very large, velvet-petalled
pansies.
For the garden party or the lawn tea
is the hat made entirely of flowers or
the "ring-round-a-rosy" hats, where
flowers deck the extreme edge of the
brim, and are crushed, as if by childish
hands, up close to one another. Large,
irregular tulle or lace straw hats of this
description are ugly or attractive, ac-
cording to the milliner. Above the flow
ers will rise perhaps a huge chou bow of
white tulle.
For the formal occasions that will
rise even in summer cottage or hotel
living, some girls are trusting to the queer
flat hats that have shown themselves
among the novelties, upon the center Of
whose crowns area ranged feathers,
four or six, standing in a demisemi-cir-
Gle, a Ia Prince of Wales. In extreme
cases, these feathers overlap the edge of
the hat n hang down all around in a
little fringe. 1t is possible that Upon some
heads such a hat may be pinned becom-
ingly, but I have never seen an istance
where the effect was not restless and
ragged.
The protest hat that goes into the
summer girls trays or boxes is very
likely to be of lace straw, shaped like
! the graceful riding hats of our grand
mothers, and adorned by sweeping
feathers. Not for horseback use, but for
newest of the really new things, the
feathers either piled one above another
on the left side, or falling over the brim
at the front and side.
The summer girls sailor hat is wound
with blue tulle and trimmed with deer
pink Or damask roses, or it carries a
scarf Of white mousseline and a number
of large, rather stiff, white velvet pond
lilies.

of white chiffon. The hat, of coarse red
lace-straw, was trimmed with feather
buster rOsetes Of red tulle and with i'm
mense double peoples, very full blown.
The parasol of red silk was covered with
black velvet moons.
A simple but most gracefully cut dress
of blue foulard, polka-dotted in white,
was crowned by a hat of shirred blue
gauze, with a crown of pink and red
roses and an amazing blue bird of UNI
known genus.
A dress of a very silky, clinging mauve
cloth, open-worked over satin of the same
color, was worn with a tulle hat in three
shades of mauve, the tulle being shirred
into wired frills which stood up three
deep O the crown. The only other
decoration was a bunch of Parma vio-
lets.
There begin. to be, especially out Of
town, quite a good many women who
"chauffent'-take their pleasure on an
automobile. These nave borrowed with
for the amusement; something less for
NAL than the driving hat, frequently Of
chip, and apt to be dark with bright
trimmings.
On a country road I noticed a few days
ago a young girl guiding a small, open
motor carriage and conscientiously run
ming far down into the cutters to avoid
soaring the farmers horses. She had at
tired herself in a sparrow brown cloth
dress, with a hat of coarse and very
glossy brown straw, which was trimmed
with daffodils and yellow ribbon.
Hats seen on the golf links have varied
little since the beginning Of the season.
AS good style as anything to be found
is a dark blue Tyrolean shape in either
straw or felt, trimmed with two quilts
and a buckle. -..s

realize how easy it is to look over-dressed
on the wheel. The brilliant hues and the
big plaids now in favor have a way Of
lmpressing themselves on the eye as
garish n most undesirable. Especially
should all such display be avoided by a
beginner. An extremely pretty girl was
riding on a Staten Island road a few days
ago in a silk and cloth costume better
suited to a reception room. Her fluffy
yellow hair was covered by a yellow
gauze hat plentifully adorned with roses.
She wore immaculate glace kid gloves.
n she wabbled, not dangerously to her
self, but to other riders.
Another girl, who occupied the middle
seat of a triplet. noticing the offender,
audibly begged her cavaliers to walk
wide Of the widow of Windsor, for half
of creation she owns" They walked. but
the phrase from Kipling spoiled the
pretty girls ride.

The ugliest things in the new millinery
are black roses, green roses, blue roses
and other miscolored outrages on nature;
the most charming, perhaps, are the bril-
liant little scarlet geraniums, exquisite in
color and texture, which, despite the
folly" attached to them in flower lam
guage, are more used than almost any
other blossom.
At a spring party given a few days ago
at a newly opened mansion at Hemp
stead, n of the most striking toilettes
/ worn was a black lace dress, crowned by
a black mousselin hat, drawn into a fan
ciful shape and trimmed in front with
these same scarlet %geraniums. A touch
Of tulle at the throat n wrists and
waist echoed the brilliant tint, and the
gloves were as nearly as possible of the
same color.
A dress which sounds outre. but which
was worn by a slim, dark girl to whom
it was most becoming, was a skillful
combination of sky-blue and yellow. The
accompanying hat was of yellow gauze,
or possibly Of sheer yellow muslin, al
most covered with variegated pansies;
these were very large and brilliantly
marked. seeming to spell not hearts
ease,' but something more like hearts
unrest or ambition.
With a foulard dress in tints of white
and green was worn a large green lace
straw hat, trimmed with green tullle,
draped around the crown in, apparently.
the most careless manner At the left
side was a sprawling DOW of black MORE
ribbon, clasped by a paste buckle and
seeming to tie a quantity Of stiff white
camellias.
A dress entirely of black guipure lace
over a foundation of poppy-red silk was
made a trif1e lighter and more dainty by
wild revers of white guipure reaching
the waist and turing back over a vest

There has been any amount of discuss
sion in the royal families Of Hapsburg
as to the real birthplace Of the late En-
press of Austria. 1t has been supposed
for many years that she was born in
Possenhofen, Bavaria, and the geneal-
ogical court calendar of Gotha has con-
firmed this belief. The Bavarian Reichs-
Herold, however, stated in a recent num-
Der that careful research showed tina the
Empress Elizabeth was born in the ducal
palace in Munich or December "a, 1887.
This was considered authentic by the
royal family, and accordingly the in.
scription on the sarcophagus of the en-.
press has been corrected.
