ABOUT CHURCH HATS.

(F'rom the Chicago Inter ocean,
The Rev DR.. w O. Shepard. of the Ga K
land Methodist Episcopal church who has
asked the women of his congreSau ton to
remove their hats, preached a sermon on
Heaven" Sunday TO a display OF purple
millinery that looked like the Washington
park flower beds during the Worlds fair.
Not one of the 200 or more women in the
congregation adopted The suggestion
The church is SO arranged that II is i'm
possible for persons in the rear TO see the
choir or the pulpit, which DR.. Shepard
urged as the principal reason for the re-
quest he made Just previous to Easter
Sunday that hats be removed during
service" The women of the church are
said TO be about evenly divided on the
question, and at meeting, TO be held soon
it is understood there will be some lively
debating
on last Sunday many of the women
came prepared III their minds to doff their
hats like the men and put them on after
service. no matter whether they went on
straight or not, but nobody seemed ready
to make the first start The displ3y was
SO gorgeous that even the minister was
impressed by it.
II hadn't the heart to ask them to re-
move their hats" he said after the serv-
ice.
Estimating the average cost of each hat
at SIS, which was probably low figure,
the total cost of spring millinery repre-
scented among the $50 women would have
been 81 $50 Some winter hats were worn
and some last years spring hats, but most
of these were in the -ear chairs The new
hats were overwhelmingly in the majority.

 Birmingham, May 25.-Stocks opened firm, there being nothing new regarding the agricultural outlook, but the Granger and Pacific shares all of which showed firmer tone and Atchison preferred was notably strong and active. Sugar refining was the strong feature of the industrial quarter, which otherwise was only fairly steady Among the specialties Tennessee Coal and Iron was firm and active. The London market for American stocks was reported strong and foreign houses buying here in the early dealings. Observers of the trading regarding the markets strength as due chiefly to the covering of short contracts ahead of the protracted holiday. In the course of the day the short interest appeared to be enormous and the more rapid advance in prices were com monly ascribed to purchases on this ac- count. The closing prices were firm and at about the best of the day with the eX- ception of Continental Gas which receded on unfavorable rumors regarding the gas war.
