THE AUTUMN BoNNETS.

Hats of silk banded with narrow chenille braid are very stylish and come in all the leading shapes. They may be trimmed as suits the fancy.
 Hats are in all shades of velvet. All have the low-trimmed effect and either come down we'll over the fore head or turn slightly off the face. They are tucked, gathered or corded and usually are trimmed with plain corded silk ribbon rosettes, or with feathers or breasts of some kind.
 The cloth hats so fashionable sev- era1 years ago are restored to styl- ishness, but are not particularly pretty. They are used mostly for travelling and rough wear. Some times the cloth matches the suit Breast and wing trimming is the chief sort used on this type of hat.
 The old-fashioned beaver hat ap- pears knocked into many fantastic shapes. Some are trimmed with silk and velvet flowers in dull colors. The roses are made in wreath effect and 20 all around the crown. This some times is the only trimming on the hat. Others show feather and breast trimming

AN EXPENSIVE YACHT.
King Edwards Magnificent Boat While Declared Seaworthy Still
 Has Need of Alteration.

His majesty's beautiful S3,00O,00O yacht, the Victoria and Albert, which tried to turn bottom upward when she was launched, which had to be almost wholly rebuilt and on which an army of workmen who were needed sorely for the construction of new British war vessels, has been kept busy for two years, officially was declared to be seaworthy when she returned from her trial trip to Gibraltar few days ago, says the London correspondent of the press.
 Unofficially, however, it was under stood generally that this remarka ble vessel had rolled such an extent that no monarch would consent to go to sea in her. Even the crew had been seasick.
 This report was denied at first, but it now is stated that the admiralty, whose officials are responsible, have had several experts make an examina- tion of the yacht and of her perform ance on the trip to Gibraltar, and that these experts have reported that in order to make the boat sufficiently steady she will have to be rebuilt part ly, once again, at heavy expense, and allowed four feet additional draught, although the lowest port holes are al ready only a few inches above the wa ter line. It originally was intended that the vessel should cost $1, ,750, 1000.

EMPEROR AND MONKS.
Beginning of the Friendship Q Kaiser Wilhelm for the
 Order of Benedictines.

The friendship of the German em- peror for the Benedictine order dates from the year 1893, when his majesty was present al the wedding of his cousin, Princess Marie of Edinburgh, to the crown prince of Roumania, at Sigmaringen. The archabbot of the German Benedictines preached the nuptial sermon, which so pleased the emperor that he invited the abbot to sit next him at the subsequent ban quet, and took him ats once into the high favor in which he and his order have basked ever since, says London paper.
 Not only have the Benedictine monks been allowed to return to their Rhineland abbey at Marialaach, whence they were driven many years ago, but the splendid Romanesque church Gone of the finest in Germany which, during temporary occupa- tion of the monastery by the Jesuits, had been kept jealously shut up by the government, has been restored to it's former owners. The kaiser has erect ed in this church, at his own expense, new and magnificent high altar of marble, and he crowned his favors by offering to ennoble the abbot by giv- ing him the prefix of s'von." This was declined with thanks, whereupon the abbot received from his majesty the present of costly ring.

LIVED WITH cAvE-DwELLERs.
pr. Carl Lumholz Lectures in sweden on His Five Years Adventures
 in Mexico.

Dr. Carl Lumholz, the traveller and explorer, who has been spending the last five years in the hitherto unknown regions of northwestern Mexico in the interests of the American Museum of Natural History of New York, and who is the first white man who has lived among the cave dwellers in those remote parts, lectured the other night before the Geographical society at Christiania.
 At first the cave dwellers resisted his taking up his abode among them, but eventually he gained their con- fidence and was allowed to remain. He learned their ways, their lam guage, and their songs, and joined in their dances. One chief among the cave dwellers even went so far as to offer him his daughter in marriage, and on another occasion he was ale most compelled to marry one of the girls belonging to the Cora tribe.
 The Mexican Indians are monogam-. fists and lead on the whole a happy ex- istence. Among many of the tribes he found a higher degree of morality than in civilized countries. They are highly intelligent, and are, the lec- turer said, far superior race than those of their kinsmen in the United State and South America. Theft and disease are both unknown among them. The land is held in common. Their principal food consists of In- dian corn and beans. They attain to great age

 Election day to-day. Anyone would know it from the appearance of things. Oakville voters were never so actiVe at any town election before as they were to-day Men left their work, on the farm and in the factory, to cast their votes, and most of them went to Watertown for the sole purpose or elccting Charles Missell on the board of scIectmen to represent the village of Oakville in town affairs Missell polled great many votes to-day in Watertown, both democratic and re- publican. His teams were busy all day conveying voters to the polls. IT N.ssell loses it will be only after a stubborn fight. His friends certainly came forward in the most earnest, sim cere manner, and republicans used his pastors on the town ticket voluntarily. Lewis Beardsley, who is also on the town ticket, ran we'll and stands an excellent chance of being elected. Sou e of the staunchest republican sup pcrters in the village, men of John Rjgerss and J. H. Baird's type, SUD- ported Missell. and the village is in a state of anxiety to learn the result to- night. The results will be telephoned to rhe postoffice and the pin factory as soon as officially announced. Missell boiled a large number of votes from Watertown among members of the St Johns parish, of which he is a mem Der. If he wins there will be red fire in Cakville tonight.
 R. c. Warner, head machinist at the BairG Machine Co.'S, met with a seri- oas and painful accident Saturday.

 One of the grand jurors has been making an investigation regarding the shooting in McCormick's orchard a few days ago. It is understood that one of the young men was quite pain fnliy injured by buckshot. There is no question, however, but what the law would sustain Mir Mccormick in regard to his shooting at the thieves after they had been ordered to stop.
