FAMOUS CASE DECIDED

Minnesota IRON Company Wins IN 1napor.
81. ! 4, w! tsnt Suit. sfs,.r1
DULUTH, April "a 1.-THE supreme
court at Washington has decided in
favor Of the Minnesota Iron conn ny
the case against Thomas w. Hyde, in.
volving an iron location on the Yer
million iron: range, which has been in
litigation, for IL years., During that
time $20O, 900 has been spent upon it.
and as mere undeveloped location, the
property is easily worth 81, 900, 900.
Fourteen years ago Hyde was offered
$75, 600 by the Minnesota Iron company
to quit.claim his interest in the land and
step out. He refused, and today he is q
poor man, though for many years he
has regarded himself as q millionaire
because Of his interest in this property.
He squatted ON the land in 1884, and
subsequently, when it was opened, for
settlement, he tried to pre-empt it.
Early in tho proceedings appeared the
Minnesota Iron company with an oper-
ating claim, and the fight has been in
progress ever since.
All through the land Office Hyde lost
suit after suit. Then, to bring it before
the courts, the Minnesota Iron company
began q suit in ejectment in 1895. This,
too, was decided against him, but he
steadfastly refused to abandon his
claim, and he said that he would kill
the first man that tried to serve legal
process upon him.

SHOWING LATEST NOVELTIES IN sHIRT1N9s.
tinct bat wing and butterfly shapes are
now rarely seen. A tie that is the
same or nearly the same breath
throughout its length cannot be tied In
so small and tight knot as one that
is cut narrow with broadening ends,
and the result is that the knots are
now larger and less wrinkled. Most of
the evening ties have square ends. but
those with pointed ends are frequently
worn, so that it would be scarcely fair
to say that one is more correct than the
other.
Whatever the reason, the fad re-
mains that turnover collars are not
worn with the long. evening coat. As
a long. evening coat with white waist
coat constitute the fullest possible
evening dress, so are the frock coat
and white waistcoat the top notch Of
afternoon dress for men. and as the
high. plain collar is correct for one, SO
it should be for the other. With a
morning coat one may wear what col
lar he will. but even then. II the coat
is black, plain. high collar Is prefer
able. To sum up, If you restrict the
turnover collar to use with sack suit
you will be correct, although custom
has made Its wear permissible with a
dinner jacket. These collars are now
made in a great variety of heights and
shapes. although in many cases. except
in name, they differ but slightly one
from another. All have rounded cor
ners, and most are made with an over
tapping band.
There are various styles of straight
collar; aall more or less worn-thOse
that overlap. others that just meet all
the way up, and those that spread 4
trif1e at the top. either straight or with
slightly poked points. These points
should be cut square. not round. like
the points of turnover collars.
The evening shirt should be Of plain
white linen, without rib, ruffle or adorn.
ment Of any kind or description. Even
plain pique Is not used by well dressed
men. The shirt should have a broad
bosom with two small buttonholes for
the studs. and open only in front. The
cuffs should be rather small and made
rather sharply rounded or square al
the corners.
Colored morning shirts just now are
being made with stripes running up
and down the bosom and cuffs. Stripes
may be fairly broad in pinks, blues o.
lavender. The cut is practically the
same as that of the evening shirt. ex.
cept that the bosom may be narrower
Latest patterns in imported shirtings
appear in the Illustration, which is re-
produced from Vogue, as are the fore
going items Of fashion.

WOOD PANEL,No.

lts Beauties and Benefits - Pins
/ .f Stained Green, Oak, Etc. " i5s3$
4 Paneling, whether it be Of wood,
plaster. stone or marble, is a handsome
and sensible form of wall decoration
which is growing in popular favor. The
term paneling, however, Is almost ~
nonymous with wood paneling. owing
probably to the fact that it Is the most
generally used. the other materials be
ing costly and not so suitable for 0rdi-
nary rooms. v. E-$
Paneling with wood can be adapted
with perfect success to the wallis OF
small modern rooms, and the, outlay
need not be very mucn larger than that
required for the purchase Of the best
wall paper. while the advantages are
many. .,hy
Wood, in the first place, has the mer.
it Of keeping out the cold, and, from
the decorative point Of view. it has III
real. such as mahogany. walnut or oak
beauty of color and *veining. coupled
with lasting effect. . as.,r.,l5...
The very simplest paneling is OF
pine, primed for painting or staining,
and with this very good results may
be obtained. For dining room walls
for instance, II stained green and pol
ished, or stained oak and left unpol.
ished. it is sensible and becoming

This, again, looks equally we'll paint
ed, especially white. and can be. used
in drawing room or. hall. while very
effective way. at still less cost, Is tc
fix holdings upon the plaster above the
skirting and treat both as wood. ~.
The appearance is every bit as good
IL the work Is skillfully done. a
There are also veneers of real wood
which may be used for the purpose
and these are made so thin as to allow
Of their being hung almost as readily
as wall paper. -.-..>,..
The solid wood paneling is, however
much more important In effect and ts
not SO extravagant in price as is. gen.
orally imagined. Oak fumigated and
polished is, Of course, costly. but one
has the alternative of pine, which can
be primed and stained. y,
As a setting for handsome curtains
portieres and wall draperies nothing
can surpass the soft. rich tones OF
wood. and walls treated after this
fashion become lasting joy. J.
