Through the length of the store, banking
the centre and sides. graceful palms are
,,l,red and flowers of every variety are
banked here and there with many-co;or-
cd ribbons, velvets, ckiffons, and, above
.l] the brisht-hued hats lending their
5tyorreo,;sness to The scene. Upstairs the
shov-rooms have truly Paris air, and
rarely If ever, has there been seen In the
CITY a more elaborate display OF artlsnc
creations Here stands Persian nat

Tuscan straw with sdraperiesa OF dainty
b1,,e t,lle. blue and black velvet bows and
clusters of mink buds. One of the most
striking hats was an Anna Held poke, the
hrin and crown made Of folds Of pink
chiffon with large loops Of black velvet
and here and there a, dropping red rose.
The Miss Hobbs hat is quite en- evil
dence. and one. of the most fetching of the
seasons styles.
e F.yerytl,inr seems to Show a tendency
towards something unusual for un.cIe,
but a number of turbans and hats which
allow the pompadour to assert itself, are
shown.
The trimmings and general effect are
gauzy and diaphanous. and are very
dainty. The prettiest ones are made on
frames which are covered with tulle, net,
lace. chiffon or braidings of straw, vel
vet and twists OF trlle combined The
tendency to keep the tones of one color
both in the making and trimming OF the
hats is growing and threatens to super
sede striking contrasts and varied color
ings. though the latter still hold their own.
The leading combination Of the season
seems to be Tuscan and red, and the most
beautiful Tuscan shapes. trimmed in many
fashions. are here displayed.

MILLER FEARS
HIS DUPES
He Prefers a Life in Jail to
Being at Liberty.

William F. Miller would rather
remain in the Raymond Street Jai
at New York, at present than walk
the streets of Brooklyn free man
The prince OF bubble syndicates
is mortally afraid of the vengeance
of the men and women he brought
ruin through the smash up of his
skyrocket scheme to rob the public.
Miller is very frank on this sub
ject. He has talked to many per
sons, mostly fellow prisoners OR
the second tier of his present resi-
dence in Brooklyn and to many o.
them he said:
b. I'D rather be III Jail than on the
streets of Brooklyn. My creditors
would punch my face off if they
caught me.
1t is not unlikely that he is right.
! Considerable comment has been
aroused by the suggestion of Miller's
counsel if the referee granted suf
ticicntly long adjournment of the
case Miller would take steps look
ing to a compromise with his credi
tors. 1t is argued that hundreds Of
the Franklin Syndcate's smaller
investors will never appear in the
case. So the matter narrows dowr
to settling with the heavier losers,
I Counsel for the creditors would
not. it has been stated refuse to en-,
terrain a reasonable offer Of com.
promise. If however. the bankrupt
proceedings develop the where
abouts of the stolen money to pay
off any respectable percentage o.
the syndicate debt there can be nc
compromise.
The application Of Miller's coun
sci for the return Of ali the syndi
cate $ books and papers now il
the possession of Receiver Lord is
not likely to bear fruit. 1t is moi
probable that Judge Thomas will
give the syndicate man any Level
to pry himself out Of the clutches o
the New York State authorities.

Collecting Rent.

Real estate agents are expert
encing the annual difficulty in col
lectirg rents. There is class OF
tenants that bar their houses so
that the agents and constables can
not get in. In this way they evade
the payment of months rent and
then move at night time. A real
estate man said today that there
has been woman in Wilmington for
years who beat every landlord from
whom she rented a house. She
rented the houses under different
names. But real estate men are
delighted to know that she has
moved out of Wilmington.

LOCKED LUNA

The Inhuman Sitter Fed
Him Like q Beast OF
the Field.

Humboldt, Iowa. Feb. IA
shocking case of cruelty to and
torture of an inoffensive and de.
fenceless lunatic has been brought
to light here.
Several years ago Michael Chess,
a well-to-do farmer of Humboldt
county, living near ERADICATE. be-
came demented and was placed in
the State Asylum at Independence.
Shortly after this. Chess sister
and her husband secured his re-
lease from the asylum and took him
back to the iarm in Humboldt coun.
ty. Not long after deed of Chess
200 acre farm was made out to his
sister.
One week ago Chess died, no ply.
stefan being summoned and no no.
LITIGATION of the fact being made to
the authorities by the family. The
action of the family excited the at
tention OF the neighbors, who insti-
gated movement that led to a
post-mortem examination.
The result OF the coroner's in
quest, it is said, was revcl alton
OF shocking cruelty and neglect.
The feet Of the dead man were
found to be frozen, and the body was
greatly emaciated.
When these facts were brought
before the Grand Jury. other evil
dence was deduced, showing that
Chess had been kept barefooted and
unclothed in barn, and had re-
ceived poorer food than the stock on
the farm. 1t was stated also that
he had never been within the house
since his removal from the asylum
until the night Of his death.
The sister and brother-in-law
have been arrested.
