PAPER COLLARS STILL IN STYLE

Large Quantities Are Still Manufac-
tured for Western Trade.
''It may surprise you to know that
paper collars are coming into demand
again." said a travelling salesman who
handles mems furnishing goods, land
it may also surprise you to know that
the demand right along, for years and
years back, has been large enough to
keep three or four good-sized factories
going continually at full capacity.
used to- wonder what became of the
output, for l never saw anybody wear
ing the things, and finally made it my
particular business to ascertain. 1 was
astonished at the extent of the trade.
1t reaches all over the West and South
west, and along the sentire Northern
frontier, from Seattle to Bangor Wher-
ever the towns or camps are widely
scattered, implying, l suppose, that
where laundrieS are scarce and poor,
there is a demand for paper collars.
The largest shipments, however, go
into the lumber districts of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where the men wear an
outlandish costume peculiar to the re-
gion and not to be found elsewhere on
the continent. Their Sunday trousers,
for instance, are generally plaids seven
or eight inches square, in the brightest
colors imaginable; their hats are in
solid red, blue, green or purple, and a
paper collar on fancy flannel shirt is
considered a very effective combina-
ton.
thousands of gross go to dealers in
the small towns throughout the timber
belt up there and almost as many are
sent into the Adirondack counties Of
Northern New York, Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine. l noticed that
there was an especially large and
steady demand from the maple sugar
district-in fact, there seems to be some
sort of mysterious affinity between pa
per collars and forests, leading people
who earn their livelihood in the great
woods to yearn for paper collars when
they dress up 1t would be a nice
problem for students. Still another sec
ton where the sales have been enor-
nous is in the northern end Of Nebras-
ka, where the country is settled up al
most entirely by Swedes and Norwe-
gians. I was amused, in looking over
the order book of one of the big facto-
ries, to note that the collars sent to
NebrasWa were all Of one pattern-a pc
culiarly hideous, narrow, little turned
over, the design of which must have
been imported from Europe. 1 have
seen pictures Of Baltic peasants wear
ing such chokers, but have never en-
countered one in the life. To return
to the point in reference to an increase
in the demand, l know positively that
it has almost doubled since the 1st Of
August and that several new factories
are now in course of equipment. Where
the new trade comes from haven't the
least idea New Orleans Times-Demo-

FiIipinos'. Twenty Victims at Catubig Q
Avenged by Comrades.
Further details of the fighting at Catu-
bug, Island Of Samar, in which twenty
Americans were killed and two wounded,
have been received. The American gar
risOn of Catubig, Island of Samar, con-
sisting of thirty men belonging to the
t0rty-third regiment, was attacked by
rebels. Twenty of the Americans were
killed. The remainder were rescued.
The Americans were quartered III the
Catubig Church, which the enemy, num-
bering several hundred men, surrounded
and fercely attacked. The Americans
fought for two days and then the rebels
managed to ignite the roof of the church
and it burned away and finally fell upon
those inside the edifce. The walls re-
mained intact, however, and were used as
shelter by the besieged Americans for
three days longer, the enemy attacking
the building on all sides at once. The
Americans continued firing from the win
dows and doors of the church, and did
great execution among the FiIipinOs. It
is estimated that over 200 of the latter
were killed, many dead bodies being re-
moved from the scene of the fighting.
After five days resistance by the Amer
leans lieutenant and eight men arrived
from Laoan and engaged the besiegers,
who thereupon retired. The fortunate ar
rival of these re-enforcements prevented
the annihilation of the American force in

The most unfayorable features of last
week, as. given by the crop division of the
weather bureau, were the excessive rains
in the Southern States and the unSeason-
able dow temperatures over the central
and southern plateau and Pacific coast re-
gions. A large part of Texas. including
the region of the great flood of June
July, 1899, has received from two to
more than seven inches of rain, washing
out and inundating crops to a great ex-
tent over the central and southern por-
tions of the State Too much rain has
generally retarded farm work in the
States of the Missouri valley and middle
Rocky Mountain slope.
Eastward of the Mississippi river corn
planting and prepare ions therefor have
progressed rapidly, planting being in pro-
gress as far north as the central portions
Of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and in West
Virginia and Maryland. Some corn has
been planted in southern Iowa. and plant
ing will be general the coming week. On
account of wet weather little corn was
planted in Nebraska, and planting has
been retarded in Missouri and Kansas.

In the summer of 1898 Ottmar Mer-

machine, who died in Baltimore recent
ly, spent two days at Painesville, Ohio,
studying the working of a basket ma
chine, which he afterward modified and
improved, and which was the last work
completed just before his death. The
machine as completed is as much a rev.
olution in basket making as the limo
type has proved to be in typesetting.

the same operator with the machine,
with greater ease, can now produce H.

made baskets are said to be superior in
