PAINFUL PAUSE
When II Was Asked "Where Shall
the Next Banquet be HeId?'

The Garfield club has often been
urged by the Ravenna Republican to
hold its banquets in Cleveland. In
support of further argument along
that line and apropos of the clubs
banquet in Youngstown, Tuesday
night, that paper says
At the business session, when invi-
tations were asked for place of meet
ing next year, there was painful
silence, all the counties except Geau-
ga having previously entertained the
club and all recognizing that they
have not adequate accommodation
for making the meetings satisfactory
to those who attend them. Finally
Trumbull came to the rescue and said
II the club desired to come and accept
the accommodations which existed,
the Republicans of that county would
extend an invitation. This was ac-
cepted. Warren gave poor service
once and good at another time. There
will exist doubt in the minds Of
members which 1t will receive next
year, although Trumbull's Republicans
will asstiredly do the best they can
with the resources at their command.

They were soon friends and were
playing poker in an hour. Another
stranger soon appeared, grabbed the

to lay OH the table, and fled. He got
away. Frank Palmer, one Of the
sharks, was caught while trying to

the wars to fight Napoleon. That is

anticipated. and it is nine years before
the doctor returns home. Meanwhile
ill fortune has visited the sisters. and

No wonder of ingenuity in this argu-

adroitness of Corot's brush. Fine senti-

clear reading of femininity. Barrie
abounds in human nature, and he has
left an abundance of it in Quality

not in what he has to say. but how he
says it. Without any ingenious strokes
of invention he has contrived a pleas

good humor. an excellent study of wo

In the Scotch dialect Throssel means

QUEEN TO WEAR kOHINOOR
Famous Diamond VIII BE Set In
Crown of Edward Wills COnsort.

King Edward has decided to have
the celebrated Kohinoor diamond
mounted in the crown of Queen Alex
andra for the coronation.
The celebrated diamond Kohinoor
was the most valuable possession Of
Mahara jah Runject Singh, chief Of
Lahore. says the New York Herald
When he died, in 1899, his four wives
and seven slave girls burned them
selves on his funeral pyre while the
rites of Juggernauc were carried out
III all their cruelty
The mahara jah left the jewel, which
had long been coveted by the princes
of India, to be worn by the chief idol
Of Juggernaut. 1t subsequently came
into the possession of the East India
company, whose directors presented it
to Queen Victoria in 1850. The his
tory of the stone is known since 1904.
1t was trea by AurungZeb, who
Used it as one of the eyes of the pea

On the conquest of Mohammed Shah
by Nadir Shah in 1879 the great dia-
mond was not found among the Delhi
treasures. Mohammed had hidden it
in his turoan. but Nadir. hearing of
this. offered the Mogul emperor as
sign of reconciliation to exchange tur-
bars.
The ruse succeeded, and when Ma

claimed, "Kohinoor," or Mountain of

Flat Hats.

Flatness. as a rule, will prevail in
shapes and sidewise bigness. A few
bell crowns are shown, and a few rath-
er high, square ones, but the majority
of the hats have either the hood or
shape tops-that is. soft pieces of felt
draped on foundations. making an ap-
proach to the flower hat of the summer
or shapes with low, round crowns. All
stiffness is avoided, which women Of
uncomfortable years will appreciate,
and the gamut of color runs from the
gravest to the gayest.
One beautiful model is of cigar brown
felt faced with yellow lace. Turquoise
blue ribbon is softly folded about the
low, round crown and lied in a big
careless bow under the brim at the left
side. Another delicious hat is of opu-
lent. creamy felt. draped over platea u
frame and finished around the outer
edge with an applique of black lace
patterned with black velvet buttons to
simulate a grape pattern. The under
side Of the brim is faced with pink. and
at the left side is crush bow of tur-
quoise blue ribbon fastened with an
ornament of sparkling pet.
