Tom O'ROurke, managed Of Tom
Sharkey, says that the tone of Jeffries'
challenge was such as to lead to the
impression that the Californian means
what he says, and he might, after all,
give him the first opportunity for a
fight.
There are so many DESTROYS Of meet
ing Sharkey that for the present l am
undecided what to do said O'Rourke.
LAS | have already said, I intend to
give the Sailor a rest, in view of the
fact that he has been fighting almost
continually for the last three years.
Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Maher, Mccoy
and others all desire a chance at him. -
Regarding the report that he would
| take Sharkey to England to fight
Charley Mitchell, O'Rourke said he
might make the trip if there was
enough money in it. He received a
cablegram from Mitchell yesterday and
| answered it, asking whether it was to
an exhibition or a fight, the purse Of

 HATS FOR APRIL

what novel hat made of piece of the same material of which her collarette was made. This hat was made upon a tiny crown, was laid in folds and was severely plain. It was of shot silk of an amethyst hue, and, at the side well toward the back, stood a very tall bunch of nasturtiums. The col- larette worn by this young woman was of amethyst silk. The yoke of her gown was of the same shade of amethyst in plain silk and the dress material was in amethyst and black check, trimmed with bands of amethyst and blue velvet
 The Gainsborough hat is still fashionable. It is the ideal picture hat. Everything is called a Gainsborough which Is worn on one side of the head and is large.
 One of the belles of Paris, a very beauti- ful blonde, wore recently at a country house party a very large Gainsborough of coarse rough straw It was trimmed upon the side with a bunch of pink roses and the top of the hat was also trimmed with the roses. A twist of apple blossom pink vel- vet acted as a background to the roses.

Germany's Rulers

From the Chicago News.
 Very few people are aware of the keen interest the empress of Germany takes in her private stables and in the riding lessons of her sons. Her majesty makes point of having daily ride, and when the wealth CT is bad rather than MISS 1t, she takes it in the riding school. The empress always likes to be there when her younger sons are having their riding lesson, and often she will herself show them how to do what is being taught them At reviews the em- press rides very tall horse on ordinary occasions her mount is black horse, and for hunting she prefers handsome chest nut which is very quiet and a good jumper. Generally she is accompanied in her drives by the emperor, and she rarely drives out alone Her special carriage is painted blue and black, but all the others belonging 10 the court are red and black
 The German emperor has returned to add another occupation to the long list he all ready professes. He is about to turn au- thor, and has announced his intention of writing book on the subject of his travels in the east. Perhaps he will give few de- tails of his little talks with Abdul the Ana thematized If he does this his book is sure to command a brisk sale. He is emperor (by the decree of fate), statesman, soldier, sailor, orator, painter cartoonist, play wright, stag manager, naval architect, practical carpenter, sportsman, tennis play

The arbor, for 1t can be called by no other term was made or wire mon which the roses were fastened back ed by their green leaves. Roses were also set deep in the chiffon making truly ele- gant' hat. o,.
 Another hat which was worn well pack was seen upon an American brunette, a lady who is one of the leaders of New York society at home. Her toque was GOV cred with silk in such a way as to make an immense crown. Bordering the toque was a tinv spray of forget-me-nots with thelr ereen leaves A large bunch of the same flowers trimmed the side of the nat.

Paris. March 2s-The spring style is so decidedly in favor of the hat which is turned back from the face that faithful fashion writer should describe no other. But you do occasionally see the English walking hat, or the Minerva, as the English call it. It dips down to the eyebrows in front and it touches the Psyche; and it's trimming is a very heavy twist of chiffon and silk around the crown. Under the back there are punches of flowers which rest upon the hair.
 The hats that tip back, set so very far back upon the head that the coiffure is en- tirely visible. The hair Is worn pompa- dour and the hat rests upon it in such way as to raise it to an alarming height.
 At a reception, held at the residence of Ambassador Porter the other day, your correspondent saw very pretty American woman weaing a hat which was set even back of the pompadour. It was originally

is not yet time for the flower garden, yet is too late for the velvet hat. Paris wo- men lay aside the velvet hat early in March, and come out in the rough straw and the silk toque. In a few days we shall have the leghorn and the flower hat.
 They are combining chiffon and fancy straw in a very novel way. The straw comes as delicate braid and is sewed upon the edge of the chiffon, which is then twisted around the crown of the hat mak- ing a very chic trimming.
 Every hat has it's flower, if not in front at least in the back, resting upon the hair. The single rose is not seen this year to any great extent, but we have the mass of roses, the double bunch of violets, the whole nasturtium plant, and the great fam fly of small unnamed yellow and white flowers.
 A word about hat pins. They are long and have an extremely fancy head which acts as a hat ornament The long hat pin is run through the hat and through the hair, but is not pressed deep into the trimming on the contrary it rests upon the outer row of silk or the chiffon trimming where it acts as an ornament.
