STUDENTS ON A STRIKE.
Men at War With Prof.
HaEerty.

PHILADELPHIA. March S.-Because
they thought that one Of their professors
was giving them too much work TO do,
the sophomore students Of the Wharton
School of the University of Pennsylvania
went on a strike yesterday and refused
TO attend an examination.
Ever since the beginning Of the present
term James E Hagerty, instructor in so
ciology and economies. and the second
year students have been at ODDS The
first breach occurred when he compelled
each student TO write q four-thousand-
word essay on some abstruse economic
subject, and all deprecatory appeals PROV
ed without avail Since that time the in
structor and the class have been at war,
and the latter did as little work as pos
sible-
The students brought odoriferous drugs
to the class room. and on several Occa-
sions the odors We're so offensive that the
room had TO be abandoned At other
times, during the recitations, torpedoes
and small shot were hurled about the
room. Meanwhile the instructor was max
ing the class work harder and harder,
which work had its elimination when,
two weeks ago, DR. Hagerty gave the
class two books TO -Hadley's Eco
Monies and TaussigS Work and Wag-
IS and announced that on March an
examination would be held on their con-
tents.
Several Of the more studious class men
attempted TO read the books. but the
majority Of them refused 10 open them.
A petition was passed around the class
and all but two or three signed that they
would cut the examination But when
the hour arrived the more conservative
students were won over when they saw
the VIII Of the class
" lille Dr. Hagerty was writing his eco
nomic questions on the blackboard the
striking students held an inproInptu
meeting outside the room and elected a
committee Of four TO protest against the
instructor Several Of the prominent Of
licials Were seen but no definite action
was taken
DIT. Hagerty is regarded as being par
ttcularly well-infOrTaed man on economic
questions and received an advanced de-
gree from the University Of Pennsylvania
last June He has studied at the Univer-
sites Of Michigan and Indiana and has
also spent several years at prominent
German institutions This is his first
year as an instructor at the university.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September 26. 1901.
Hats show tendency to improve in be-
comingness as the season advances and
with patient search it looks as If we may
all be suited in time. But If shapes are
modifying ia eccentricityi they make up for
it In odd and perishable materials, entire
hats being seen Of cocks feathers, rolled
tightly to initiate satin braid. These are
undoubtedly novel, but itlnaturally follows
that such fraH and easily ruftied surfaces
are scarcely practicable for the woman
who can afford but lone street headpiece.
A shape of felt or velvet. with a rolled
brim Of breast feathers, will be found
more sensible purchase. for so rampant is
the influence of the bird this season that
few chapeaux may .be found without do
nation from someo part. of his plumage.
Even where no other bird effect is seen, a
stuffed head may crop UP, holding down a
big rosette of velvet or silk on a round hat
These run to Very asst onndng biils-long
and slim, like the cranes or fiat duck
spoons, and painted in brilliant reds and
yellows that are plainly the handiwork of
man.
Wherefore the effect Of some of these
heads is grotesque in the extreme, remind
ing you of the clown In the circus who
wears the nose that does not fit Again
bright blue wings, will be discovered perch
ed upon some wide puffed velvet crown, the
head pointing downward over the front and
the tail lifted to accommodate the rise at
the back. Shaped pieces Of delicate lace
are now stretched over wire to initiate the
wide quilts found so decorative.
More Sensible Hats.
Coming to something really worth while
for these whole-bfrd trimmings are tco
| outre to be desirable-there are some pretty
round hats with rolled brims, all in change
able breast feathers, that may be recon,-
| mended. These are trimmed at the left
side with made plumes of the same, ending
in floating tails. No other garniture than
the breasts is used, and such a hat In
green and black-Chanticleer's iridescence-
If on just the right head, is truly bewilder-
ing. The accompanying gown should be of
black cloth in trim tailor style, with which
a cocks plume boa will be found dashing

With the round hats the manner in which
they are to be worn depends largely on

Funny Tales Told.
Many amusing instances are recorded Of
police being led into traps by the pursued.
On one occasion a policeman found himself
in a bog hole nine feet deep. and from
which escape was well nigh impossible.
HIS comrades had gone in an opposite
direction, and no one heard his cries save
a couple of his intended victims. They
hauled him out of the mire, and when he
stood on the bank, a perfect picture of de-
lection, one of his rescuers suggested ''th'
bist rimedy in the world for duckln'."
II was never known how much poteen the
three consumed before they parted, but
Mickeys Pat was always willing to swear
that they ''wor that bad they couldn't till
their own farthers."
The bog-hole covered the sins of The DO
liceman, and it was rumored afterward that
when the sergeant heard Of the occurrence
he declared: "Och, holy smoke! Wasn't I
tn fool didn't think of such a thrick me-
self"

the disposition of the crown band, and, as
our illustration shows, front. side and back
tits are all in vogue" The two lower styles
may be found among the made hats. in
plain and folded velvet and various novelty
materials, whose decorative surfaces leave
little room for INSTRUMENTATION. Such
hats cost anywhere from $50 to 81, and
the home milliner will find admirable sug-
gestions in the simple methods Of trimming
pictured here.
The aII-feather hats are more expensive
costing from 50 up. 1And this is without the
side breast trimming, mind you-a little
matter Of perhaps 50 more: total, $12 for
anything that at all approaches the right
mode. &c
To conclude, your breast hat must never
be careless1y brushed. A soft linen rag
deftly applied the way the feathers run,
will remove dust without destroying the
satin smoothness which is the chief charm
of this species OF headgear
Gowns Are All of Kind.
Costumes consisting of a skirt Of one
color and bodice Of another are no longer
admired for dressy house wear. The new
toilettes d'interieur are all of kind, as far
as their ground principle is concerned, and
with these the cut-fn-two look which the
dark jupes and pale waists oncc gave Is
graciously eliminated. a.
How desperately weary we all got OF
those gloomy black skirts and eternal
fancy bodies. and how daintiIy feminine
the, sone-colors gowns seem by contrast!
For, of course. they are made Ill tho most
delicate tints. and one trick to preserve
the unbroken tone at the waist Is to, have
the stitched belt also of the gown mate
