black plumes. Above the hat just de-
scribed is one of the glorified mob caps.
1t was royal blue velvet with crown Of
white and gold embroidered satin. Be-
sides its paradise plume it displayed a
handsome knot of white and canary chif-
fon. To the left of this is another mob,
this in crimson velvet draped with velvet
whose crimson was dashed with corn
color. The picture hat Of this group was
tinted chiffon showing blue and green,
three large plumes and gilt buckle trim
ming it. The remaining model was one
of those odd shapes that get from their
makers an especial name that Is purely
arbitrary. 1t had crown of stitched
white cloth, and brim draped with rose
pink mirror velvet. Darker pink velvet
and two large wings trimmed it.
This doesn't give more than a faint
idea Of the materials that are employed
in millinery. Almost everything ''goes"
that was ever put on hats. One sees
chiffon, tulle, straw, fur, lace, cloth, vel
vet, silk, flowers, feathers and fringed
soaring, each in sufficient quantity to in
dicate it's general stylishness. and there
are others that may be used il individual
fancy leads one toward them. In many
handsome hats three or four of these
materials are combined.

Little Lumber Work in the Woods.

There is little probability of much work
being done in the-1umber woods in the
vicinity of Calumet the coming winter,
owing to the fact that the mining COM
panies are using coal in much larger
quantities than formerly and outside con-
tractors are hauling timber in from other
parts cheaper than it can be cut near
there. Contracts cannot be taken Mt old
prices because the hauls are longer and
the once large forests are now nearly all
cut away. Wood choppers are also scarce

REPORTED COAL CONSOLIDATION.
MANY DEALERS THINK 1T WILL BE I'M

rbs rumor was again revived yesterday that a
combination Of coal dealers was In process or for
ing II was said that an attempt was being maze
70 have the big yards in Manhattan and Brooklyn
ioin forces A similar report several months ago
brought out denials from coal men. In reply 10
inouiries Yesterday II positively asserted that
no such combination was being considered Several
OF the persons went 80 far as 10 assert that II
was altogether out OF the range Of the possible.
The principal object to be gained by such a COM
blnation, It was said would be the elimination OF
what is known the middeman from the coal
trade. The middleman in the coal business corre-
spends to the jobber in other lines who acts be-
tween the manufacturer and the retailer.
The retailer who has not a high rating with the
mercantile agencies and who cannot get credit from
the large coal concerns Is often able TO do business
through the middleman. who is willing to take
chances and to assume the responsibility. The
middemen are. therefore, an important factor In
the coal business both to the retailer and the big
mining concerns. II has been argued BY those
who are in favor of combining the interests OF
the coal trade that the elimination Of the middle
man would naturally increase the profts OF the
wholesaler without affecting the retailer In any
way. on the other hand most Of the wholessleDss
profits which might accrue would be more % tnan
offset by the risk OF bad accounts which tney
would take At present the middleman assumes
