SOME COSTLY HATS.
One Given General Grant Was Valued
at Fifteen Hundred Dollars.

at Fifteen Hundred Dollars.
The most expensive hat in the world
is undoubtedly one which was present
ed to General Grant while he was in
Mexico in 1882. 1t cost 81 500 in gold,
and is now to be seen in the National
Museum at Washington, and is the
finest specimen of a Mexican s0mbrero
ever made. Perhaps the next most ex-
pensiye hat to that vas one which was
sent to William HI. Seward when he
was Secretary Of State in President
LincoIns Cabinet. 1t was of the var
iety known as Panama, and his South
American admirers who sent it to him
paid $1,000 for it.
At one time Panama hats frequent
ly cost $500, but these are no longer
made, aud cannot therefore be bought.
Perhaps the most expensive hat OF TINS
sort which has been made for many
years was one sold last year to
banker. who paid SI10 for it. Hats as
fine as these are commonly worn by
the rich men in South America but
ordinary mortals have to be content
with specimens which cost at the most
only $40 or SIS. Still, these are fine,
and are practically everlasting, for
they can be cleaned again and again.
1t is curious that they are called Pam
anna hats, for they do not come from
there. They derive their name from the
fact that that city was at one time the
greatest market for them. The finest
are obtained at Payta. Peru, and Qua
yaquil. They are made of the fibre OF
the pineapple plant, are as soft as silk,
and SO pliable that they can easily be
folded up and carried in the pocket.
Excellent specimens are also made by
the natives of Cuba. Berlin (Md)

This story has been exhumed by the
New York Press about Bob Toombs:
Few Georgians know that Toombs
had two Christian names. History
speaks of him as Robert Toombs. He
was prouder than Montague,
laughter than Capulet, and in the
last years the persons who mentioned
his middle name was in danger of de-
capitation. This dropped name was
Aston Toombs was marvel on the

still wearing his full name-Roberc

date for the State Senate Of the name
Of Charles A. Thornton replied to

henchmen yelled, That's right; go at
him again. Our Cat has got that Rat.
That Rat can't get away from our Cat.

displeased Toombs that he Immediate

PARKER TO SUCCEED.
MADE ROCK ISLAND MANAGER
Wakes the Place of Truesdale, the Re-
signing Executive Officer-Promotions
All Along the Line Civil Service
Principles Prevail.

H. A. Parker, second vice-president
Of the Rock Island road, was yesterday
appointed general manager of the road
vice w. II. Truesdale, who has been
elected president of the Lackawanna.
Mr.. Parker will have charge of all
transportation matters, but reports and
communications relative to the freight
and passenger departments will be
handled by the heads Of those depart
ments instead Of by the general man
ager. The position Of first vice-presi-
dent is left open for the present. The
following promotions were also an
nounced, all effective March 1: H.
Cover, general freight agent, to be as
sistant freight traffic manager, with Of
flee at Chicago; e. B. Boyd, general
freight agent lines west of the Missouri
river, to be general freight agent lines
east Of the river, vice H. Cover, pro-
noted; H. H. Embry, commercial
agent at Buffalo, to be general freight
agent lines west of the Missouri river,
with Office at Topeka, vice E. B. Boyd,
promoted. 1t will be seen that all
these promotions have come to officials
already in the service Of the company,
the management preferring to stand
by civil-service principles rather than
go outside for new men.
H. A. Parker has been in the contin-
uous service of the Rock Island road
since 1866, with the exception Of one
period of less than two years. He was
born at Du Plessis, N. Y, in 184l and
began his railroad career as chairman
on the Rock Island in 1866. Two years
later he was appointed divisional en-
gineer. During part of 1868 and 1859
he was resident engineer of the Fort
Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw rail-
way, but speedily returned to the Rock
Island road, with which he has since
remained. From 1869 until 1873 Mr..
Parker was engaged as extension and
divisional engineer and from 1873 to
1876 was chief engineer OF the Oska-
loosa & Knoxville division. For the
next nine years he was divisional en-
gineer Of the Illinois division and from
1885 to 1889 vice-president and chief
engineer Of the Chicago, Kansas &
Nebraska railway, part Of the Rock Is
land system. In 1889 he became assist
ant to the president and little later
was elected third vice-president Of the
company. Two years ago he became
second vice-president.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
5 letter from Mrs. j. 9. Orms, of 220
Horner st., Johnstown, Pa, which Is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel 1t my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. 1
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep

EVOLUTION OF THE KISS.
According to Analysis 1t Is Several Poo
sale Things In One.

According to Analysis It Is Several P,o-
sale Things In One.
The kiss which Paolo II Bello put on
the mouth of Francesca di Rimini,
which Verdi stuck into waltz, which
Swinburne wove into verse, which
that pastry cook Bouguereau smeared
in cold cream, and which Lieut.. Hob
son distributed all over the country,
has recently enjoyed the honors Of
profound analysis, says Golfers Week
ly. In the current issue Of the Revue
ScientifiQue 1t is infinitely explained.
Personally we thought we knew all
about 1t. AS usual, we were in error.
Professionally, had we been asked, and
even had we not been, We stood ready
to trace 1t back to mystic and re-
ligious origin. Privately we had pre-
sumed to regard 1t as simple mat
ter, over which too much fuss is made.
We had been informed that 1t is pleas
ant, or the reverse, in direct proper
ton to the maestria Of the party Of
the second part. We had gathered
from novels that such charm as 1t
possesses wanes with repetition, and
we had plenty of hearsay evidence to
the effect that delight in it is wholly
a matter of taste. We had, therefore,
views of our own concerning it, but
never until this minute, did we sus-
pect that it was double, and not mere
ly that, but olfactory and nutritive,
too. Such, however, is the case. The
olfactory kiss is Monaghan. The nu-
tritive affair is European. The Mon
golian kiss is with the nose. The
European kiss is with the mouth. The
Monaghan kiss indicates that the par
ty shifted would be an agreeable prey;
the European party indicates that the
party embraced would make delecta-
BILE meal. They are but the different
forms of the same instinct of preserva-
ton, the give and take Of wild beasts.

Thousands of cases of chronic ca
tarrh have been cured by Pe-ru-na
during the past winter. In spite Of
changeable weather, in spite Of the ma
tural set-backs from catching cold, and
confinement to illy-ventilated rooms,
the great catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-
has effected these cures. But now
spring is here. The days are longer,
the sun is warmer. and the blizzard is
gone for another year. This pres ,nts
a much more favorable opportunity for
the permanent cure Of chronic catarrh,
especially old, stubborn cases. Now
is the time to begin treatment. Other
things being equal, one months treat
ment in the spring is worth two
months treatment during the inclem-
ent weather of winter Insist upon
having Pe-ru-na. There are no sue
cessful substitutes for this remedy.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has introduced a new feature in its
sleeping car service arranging to at
tach an ordinary sleeper In addition
to the regular first-class sleeper now in
service on through trains. Commence
ing with February 13 one Of these cars
Will be attached to train No. leaving
chicago $3.50 p. m. and arriving in
Pittsburg next morning at GAS, and
returning leave Pittsburg on No. 8 at
E20 p. m. and arriving in Chicago
next morning at 10 a. m. Also on
train No. z leaving Baltimore at Z p.
m. and arriving in Newark at 1922 a.
m. next day. Returning on train No.
D leaving Newark at $3.50 p. m. and
arriving at Baltimore at 1888 p. m.
next day. The innovation will be that
IN these ordinary sleepers Pullman
rates are reduced one-half, so that
passengers have the choice of paying
the highest price Pullman rate or take
advantage Of the cheaper rate offered
In ordinary cars. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is the first line to intro
Quce this service and its popularity
has been predicted
