during a Democratic administration,
and there had been a good deal Of
bother trying to get the secretary
of agriculture to agree to a certain
thing, and Blackburn had been sent to
talk him over to the committees plan.
In fact, the whole cabinet had been
difficult to deal with. When Joe came
back, several of us were assembled
in the committee room, among us Sen

Hon. Thos. L. James in the Ameri-

every indication points to a con-
tinuation for some years of this era of
unexampled activity and prosperity
upon which the United States has now
entered. There may be some check
due to high prices, which themselves
are caused by great demand, but with
wise determination of our currency
question and statesmanlike treatment
of the new political questions created
by the unexpected responsibilities
thrown upon us by reason of the war
with Spain, there seems to be no rea-
son why the United States may not,
in the era upon which she is now en-
tering, achieve a position which
will be recognized as that of financial
independence, the first power in the
world as an agricultural and manu-
featuring nation and as large
exporter of manufactured products,
and perhaps New York may take the
place so long held by London as the
financial clearing house and financial
center Of the world.

In complicated criminal case an old
land surveyor was subpenaed to give
his professional opinion in the matter.

gin he asked permission to say a few
words, but was called to order sternly
by the judge, who told him to wait till
he was questioned. The case then pro-
ceeded. A host of witnesses were ex-
amined, and even the prisoner fire.
quently was called upon to make q
statement.
After a couple of hours the judge
said to the old surveyor, "Now, sir,
we shall be glad to hear what you
have to say on the whole case"
The witness stood up and replied

of a familiar object of this vicinity:

Smyrna to Dover, took me by the spot
where once stood that famous landmark
the "Big Oak" For three centuries
this lone sentinel stood defying the
storm king and furnishing grateful
shade to man and beast who travelled
that way. But, alas! like all things
earthly it is numbered with the past,
and melancholy thoughts will intrus-
lively arise in one who knew it in his
boyhood, and looks now on the spot
where once it stood monarch of all il
surveyed. Woman's loving, generous
hands have just planted ON the deser-

that one at least may survive as an hon

their generous shade be enjoyed by

FASHIONS AMONG WOMEN,

Special Correspondence to the Times.
Tilted hats are noticeable on every
hand and not unfrequently the crown
is tilted up with a straight brim, but
even in such cases, the hat is worn at
an angle. Qnite to the contrary, how
ever, a very popular shape rises high in
the centre, forming pronounced arch
over the face and the usual finish is a
hugh rosette or flower placed in the
center. The two style are directly op-
posed and it is impossible to say which
has preference. Hats with straight,
medium brims and moderate crowns
are also often seen and the trimming
most in vogue, is a wide band or sew
eral narrow ones, with a very large ro-
settle or flower directly in front. A
single, very large rosette, bow or flow
er is fad and stamps the wearer as
being up to-date.

that is often rendered very gay By
bright silken plaids or stripes or in

though showing designs and some high
class dresses are made entirely of
plain batiste in natural ecru, but these
are extremely trying. Light weight
silks in all over patterns showing diff

DIES WITH HEAD IN A BARREL
WOMAN MAKES CAREFUL PREPARATION
FOR SUICIDE BY GAS.

Mrs. Mary Reinhardt forty-eight years old.
found dead in her home on the top floor OF
No. 249 East Twenty-eighth-st last evening by
her husband, James, when he returned home
from work. The woman had killed herself by
inhaling Illuminating gas.
Early in the day Mrs Renhardt had gone to
a neighboring grocery store and purchased
sugar barrel, which she took home. Arranging
three low stools in row. she had placed the
barrel at one end. She then carefully covered
the stools with some thick blankets, and lay
down with her head in the barrel. Between her
teeth she held the end of rubber tube, which
she had fastened to a gas jet. The woman evil
IDENTIFY before inhaling the gas had endeavored
to stop UP the opening in the barrel with
number of blankets and shaws.
When Mr. Reinhardt returned home he found
the door leading TO the kitchen locked. On fore
ing it open he saw his wife lying with her head
in the barrel and the gas tube in her mouth. A
surgeon from. Bellevue Hospital pronounced the
woman dead.
An investigation showed that the woman had
taken every pan and dish in the place and laid
them the floor upside down.
Reinhardt said that his wife appeared TO be
rational when he started for his work in the
morning, and that she not despondent. The
couple had no children.
