NEW STYLES N RAIN COATS.
PICTURESQUE IN FASHIONS.
EVEN THE SIMPLEST STYLES HAVE AN
ODD AND FANCIFUL TOUCH

Fashion seems 20 have run riot in its pursuit Of
the picturesque and striking. The simplest hats
fantastic and ornate. and no gown remains IN
decked by lace embroidery.
One Of the new hats seen recently was a large.
soft black fur beaver. with three immense pearl
gray ostrich plumes caught the left front under
a knot OF black velvet and cabochon OF baroque
pearl. One feather curled under the upturned left
brirn another dropped the down curving OF the
other side. and the third. which was somewhat
shorter stood as nearly its size permitted
over the crown
With this lovely hat was worn a wonderful cos
tune OF pearl gray cloth. seal and chinchina- The
skirt was sufficiently simple, having three grad
uated hoUnces edged with a mere piping OF seal,
but the coat was "a creation" II was built OF the
cloth cut with q pointed bolero front that length
ened IN q fitted curve into a long back. Under the
front and extending well beyond IL. appeared a
bolero OF seal that followed in the cloth

Gun was a coat sleeve OF seal that extended IN a
point over the hand 10 the knuckes. The seal

with yoke and choker OF Irish crochet lace. The
rruR also was en- suite, being IN the form Of a
large bow OF the cloth. edged with piping OF
seal and Irish crochet and fastened by band OF
ermine.
a freak OF fashion Is the revival OF the crude
colorings Of the Second Empire. Emerald and apple
green, purple royal blue, reddish brown and ma
geuta, generally under other names are shown in
trimmings and It is threatened that their use will
extend 70 foundations. Il IS a painful de-
scent from the delcacy OF the exquisite pastel
that have been popular for several years and II Is

THIS WILL NOT PREVENT A TEST OF THE STAMP
TAX ON STOCK SALES.
Although the Indictment against George c.
Thomas OF the Consolidated Exchange. for retus-
ing to pay the stamp sales Of stock has
been dismissed there Is intention the part
of either the government or Mr.. Thomas to let the
subject drop The flaw IN the indictment that caused
the dismissal IS slight that II cannot prevent
the bringing OF a new indictment.
The alleged offence was committed May Is.
1901. An TO amend the section containing the
paragraph that applied to the offence was approved
by Congress March 2. 1901, but did not go into
effect until July l. The amended act is Section S.
Schedule A, of the OF 1901. and specified
IN the indictment. The old act would have been
referred to as a schedule Of the act of 1888 AS a
matter OF fact the part Of the act under which the
Indictment found is verbally the same as in
the old act; so the only mistake made In the
reference TO the act.
United States District Attorney Henry I. Burnett
said yesterday that a new indictment would be
found in two three weeks. which means that d
special session OF the Federal Grand Jury will be
held within that time. since ordinarily no session
would be held before December.
