THE COURIER.

The gray mouffion is as pretty ss the
brown. but it does rot seem to appeal
much to people a. yet.
Apropos Of departures in furs, a re-
cent letter from Paris tells me that the
ultra-smart Parisienres are carrying
ftoles Of fur with their decolettes gowns.
and throw them about their shoulders
on the slightest provocstiou, with the
most picturesque effect.
These StOles are almost invariably
adorned on one end with chou Of tulle
that may be the same hue as the fur or
some contrasting color, as best pieasss
the wearer's fancy.
This letter also speaks Of the con-
tinued vogue in Paris of felt hats. Of
every conceivable color and shade.
Curiously enough, this fsshion-which
is an exceedingly pretty one-has made
little or no impression over here, though
q number OF smart models w,re import
ed by the various milliners.
Mrs. Perry is wearing the prettiest of
these felt hats, and why, in this land o.
imitators. it has not been copied again
and again is one of those sartorial mys-
teries impossible to account for.
Mrs. Psrry's hat is of light blue felt
an exquisite blue, by the way. 1t is fat.
fits close to the head 10 the back, with .
slight downward dip that is the newest
and smartest touch in millinery art. 1t
is bit off the face. and its only trim
ming" consists OF two ravishing ostrich
feathers, that begin gray and end blue.
They are placed directly across the
front in opposite direction-so all the
gray lie in the middle and the blue on
either end.
The rage for jewels is still rampant in
Paris. Ny letter tells me that the wo-.
men actually do not seem satisfied to
only wear jewels which they are simply
piling upon themselves. but al. their
accessories must be ieweled, even to the
cover of the books that they read and
the bells tat they ring to summon
their servants.
In the matter of jewels many Of our
women can hold their own with any
body, 30 far ss the beauty and value of
their jewels are concerned, and it is q
pleasure to feel that generally they are
worn NTH much better taste.
Mrs. Potter Palmer is wearing q pair

If the golden fountain of Celtic
thought was not wholly unalloyed in
Edgar Poe, at least ii was there.
Apart from the internal evidence of
his writings, his relations with Ire
land were very close He was an r.
ish writer, too that should especially
appeal to the National Literary Soci-

befricntling from Il singularly adverse

Poe had said: eve are vast peram-

ton had it's revenge. No sooner had
the earth closed over all that was NOR

those who knew Poe best to be hostile

The Gus Sun American Minstrels
are scheduled to appear at the opera
house, Oct. 26. This company en-
joys the distinction Of being the best,
most refined and complete orgsniza-
tion of its kind now travelling. This
year the organization travels in their
own Pullman Palace cars, and among
the principals we mention Sam Hor,
ner, comedian and monologist; Dia.
mond Bros, comedians and dancers;
E. W. Chapman; the sutocrat of
ministrelsy; Ellet Bros, the worlds
greatest triple horizontal bar artists;
Kresko & Lynch, comedians, singers
and dancers, without question the
greatest in their line; Jas. Nugent,
famous buck and wing dancer;
Gus Sun, in wonderful facts of jugg
ling and balancing, besides host Of
singers, dancers and acrobats. The
scenery used by this organization is
called q spectacular transformation
first part setting and is said to be
the most elaborate and costly ever
used by a minstrel company. As
the curtain goes up you behold q
mammouth sun shining with all the
splendor Of old Sol. While you are
gazing with open. mouth wonder, the
sun, by some mysterious mechanism,
disappears from view and the audi.
tor is face to face with the great
spectacular satin first part, which ex-
cells in beauty and splendor any pre-
vious effort in minstrelsy. After the
first part the audience will witness
an olio Of seven star feature acts
which cannot fail to please the most
pessemistic dyspeptic. At noon the
entire company will be seen in a
grand street pageant and musical
carnival, and at 7:3O the band and
symphony orchestra will dispence
sweet music in front of the opera
house. The management assures us
this will be the ministral event of the
season. Prices for the occasion so

Republican Rally.

About rs citizens OF Lamar were
present last night at the opening Of
the republican county campaign at
the court house. The attendance
was better than expected considering
the small amount of advertising
done, and shows that the party is in
line for the coming election. There
were speeches by several of the can.
didates and the chairman and secre-
tary OF the county committee. All
we're given close attention and liber-
al encouragement in the way of ap-
plause. The music furnished by
Messrs. Shirley and Cline was very
pleasing feature of the occasion.
The situation from republican
standpoint is very encouraging and
it looks as if there would be a clean
sweep for the entire ticket.

Whenever political party puts up
a ticket that is dictated by a single
individual or a clique of willy poll
ticians it is safe to assume that when
elected the candidates will conduct
their offices in the interest Of those
who were responsible for their nomi-
nations rather than the people whose
vote elected them.-Holly Chieftsin.

Tho ASSESSMENT oublsa,

The assessors OF Colorado do not
seem to be able to assess property
any more equally under the new law
than under the old one. In several
Of the counties where property was
assessed as low as anywhere in the
state, the increase is only 20 to 30
per cent. In Weld county which has
always paid its fair share of taxes
the increase is practically 100 per
cent. The extent Of this increase
will be more fully realized when peo.
pie begin to pay their taxes levied on
the assessment Of this year. A great
howl has been made against corpora
tions, but we note that the fusion
state board Of equalization has in
several instances, cut down the as,
sessments on corporate property
made by the assessor, until they are
very little greater than in former
years. The result of all the fuss will
be that the farmer and merchant will
pay more taxes for the fusion ad
ministrstion to e1pend and much of
it will be wasted in needless expen
diture.-Greely Sun.
