Friday and Saturday we're reel
warm days-more like summer than
winter ones. During Saturday night
and Sunday morning the barometer
began falling and Sunday night the
warm breath of summer had given
place to boary headed winter. Mon
dav and Tuesday were intensely
cold. in fact the cold wave which
prevailed these days was the severest
we have had this season.

Feathers and flowers off.r great

Hats made of fur are extremely
fashionable, especially with the tailor
gown or fur trimmed coat. Chinchilla
is perhaps the best liked fur for head
gear of this kind, and is especially
becoming when combined with Irish
crochet lace or delicately colored
panne or satin. The illustrations in

PLANS SOMEWHAT ALTERED.
The Government Building at the St. Louis Worlds Fair to Be
 Larger Than First Planned.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The confer enee between the members of the government board of the St. Louis Worlds fair and the supervising arr chiteet of the treasury, who has had the work in hand of preparing the plans for the government building, has resulted in decision to alter the proposed plans in some particulars. The change will not necessitate a change in the style of architecture, but will affect only the dimensions of the building. The conclusion at first reached was to construct a building 725X14s feet, with a loegia extending along the front, but included within this area. The desire of the govern ment board for more space has re suited in decision to have the build ing S50X120 feet. The size of the building to the rear of the main build ing, which is to contain the fish ex- hibit, will not be altered It will be 130Xl30 feet. The loggia or colonade will be erected outside the area fn- dieated, thus carrying out the original style of architecture. The board be- lieves that the long and narrow build ing will be much more satisfactory 10 the exhibitors than building as pro posed. Ii will permit a central aisle, near which nearly all, if not all, of the exhibits can be placed. This win insure good places for all government exhibits and prevent rivalry and the charge of faveritism in making as. signments of space to the different departments. The total space whicb will be secured by the changed plans will be 1O2,o00 square feet. An allowance has been made of 27,5oO square feet for the aisles. Twelve government depart, ments are to be represented, and the new arrangement will give the prin eipal departments at least 1,5oC square feet more space than they had at Buffalo. The space to the smaller exhibits from the government will ba preportionately large.

SENATOR CHALLENGER AND HE TARIFF.
Commission Of Herbert Pierce, of Massachusetts as Third Assistant Secretary of state sfgned-Presi- dents Thanksgiving Proctama- tion CabIed to Manila.

Washington, Nov. 16.-It is said at the state department that no authofI' zation has been sent to Consul-Gener- al Dickinson to exempt from panisi'' ment the brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone. as one of the conditions of her ransom. In fact, our government has not authogized any promise whatever to be made that would bind it's hands in dealing with this subject in the fa- ture. or that would prevent it either from insisting on the punishment of the brigands or from lodging de- mand for full indemnity for the mon ey which may be paid over as ransom for Miss Stone. There is no disposi' ton to disavow any of Mir. DIck1n' sons acts, but the officials here are confident that he has not compro. missed the ease. Because of his d1pto- matic rank it is left to Mr. Spencer Eddy. United States charge dsatfaires at Constantinople, to make any repre- sentations of a diplomatic character, and that he is exercising his function in that direction is exhibited in the character of the representations he has been making to the Bulgarian agents at Constantinople. These rep resentations make it evident that the United States is laying the founda. tion for claim that Bulgaria is prop. erly responsible for what has oe- cured. though for prudential reasons 70 dat withheld from publication.

SAYS HE IS BEN KILPATRICK.
The Train Robber Suspect at St Louis, Confronted With iiis

St. Louis, Nov 1.-The train-robber suspect, under arrest here, has ad- mitted to Chief of Detectives Desmond that he is Ben Fitzpatrick, 9 brother of Daniel Fitzpatrick, the notorious Tex as bandit. Both were members of the gang of train robbers which was led by '.Bill'' Carver, who was killed last spring.
 Sheriff R. P Kirk of Ballinger, Tex, telegraphs that he is certain, from the picture sent there, that the suspect is Ben fitzpatrick. Sheriff James E. Howze of Concho county writes that he is absolutely sure the suspect is Ben Fitzpatrick.
 In the letter he inclosed a photo graph of Fitzpatrick, taken three or four years ago. It is quite good picture of the man at the four courts and when he saw it in Chief Desmond. hands he admitted that it was pho | tograph of himself.

SKYLIGHTS TO BE TAB0oED.
New Departure In the Construction of the Big Exhibit Buildings at
 St. Louis Worlds Fair.

St. Louis, Nov. 1S.-Skyliehts are to be tabooed in the big exhibit build ings of the Louisiana Purchase expo sition.
 "This was one of the general prop ositions which the commission of architects set before itself to be fol- lowed" says Mir. Isaac Taylor. "The buildings will be lighted from win dows in the clear stories, and in Ian terms or monitors above. It is de- sirable always to have the light com ing from as close as possible to the top of an exhibit building. Skylights supply good light, but there are rad ical objections to them.
 In summer sky1ights are hot. The sun pours down directly through them, and it is hard to screen a sky light without shutting out the light entirely.
 Again it is very hard to make sky light water tight, especially large areas of slxYlisht. such as would be needed in inc exhibit buildings. The beating of the sun on them expands unequally the glass and the material in which the glass is imbedded. Some thing must give way, and usually the joints separate. This makes leaks, and water pours in on the exhibits. Sky lights need constant patching.
 "1he exhibit buildings in which massive machinery. will be housed will be equipped with travelling cranes. as was done at Chicago, to be used both as exhibits and as aids in the install ing of the big exhibits. At Buffalo, the exhibitors in the electrical and machinery buildings complained bit terly of the absence of facilities for the handling of their big castings. In the installation. special devices for lifting the parts of the machines had to be rigged up by individual exhib- itors."
