ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

New Castle, May 22.-The drown
ing of Samuel and Harry Rodman
once more formed the subject OF
conversation here yesterday. When
Albert Kirby and James Smi tn left
the piers here yesterday morning,
Weldin Vining drew their attention
to an object floating in the river.
It was recovered and turned out to
be the body Of young Rodman:
When the body was taken ashore it
was found that one leg was broken
and his face badly mashed This
caused the discussion among the
fishermen as Captain Platt stated
he saw the men jump overheard. A
close watch will be kept for the ap-
pearance Of Samuel Rodman.
Superintendent Diener had extra
cars in service yesterday to accomo-
date the heavy travel. In order

John Hencke, All old man, near
Burlington, in 1896.
For long time Williams wa
thoroughly trusted by a score OF
families. Then he was accused OF
attempting to assault Il child and

THE Oyer and Terminer Court
was compelled yesterday to adjourn
until Thursday owing to several po-
lice officers who were needed in
court, being on duty. The Wild
West Show brought II large number
of strangers to our city, and the
whole police force was put on duty.
Years ago when a circus or Wild
West Show came to this city, they
received very poor police protection.
Those days have passed, Fortunate
ly for the fair name of our city and
now the best order is discovered and
no rowdyism allowed. The change
has been tor the better and the po-
lice are to be given due credit.

lists in this city and being Of such a
nature that almost any of the pa

to give such articles place in their
columns. They do not do this city
Or State any good in financial
way. They do not bring one dol lars
worth of business to our manu- fac

ers with money to spend to locate

SECRETARY ROOT ran down the
lie that dumdum bullets had been
used by our army in the Philippines.
Sergeant OBrien made the state
ment that such bullets had been used
by the American troops, and he
knew he was telling a deliberate
faIsehood. Men who report such
lies, and the papers that published
them are fit subjects for lunatlc
asylum and that is where they

are straws of every kind. some of them

the front part of the brim is very wide.

the rounded crown lies wreath or ten

hats have no foliage at all. Others
have much foliage.

Special Correspondence of The Florida Star
New YORK. Feb. u.-Down in deep
and badly lighted Easements and In
high places among the roofs women
and men are working as they say they
never worked before fashioning the
lovely flowers and hats which are to
see the light for the first time on Eas-
ter morning. Recently my pilgrimages
have taken me to the heart of the mil.
linery district. for there are few
blocks set aside by tacit consent for
the evolving Of the beautiful things we
put on our heads and admire I'm the
privacy of our own rooms and expect
our friends to envy from afar of.
There are among these new things
some hats so daring In their imperti.
nent fitting that one scarcely knows
how to speak of them. But they will
set almost straight on the side of the
head. To do this hidden band is nee
essary. and this is covered with a mass
OF flowers. so that the hat must OF ne
cessity set sidewise to give place for
the flowers. The blossoms are OF every
kind. except the carnations. though !
do not see why these beautiful flowers
should be so neglected. But roses of
every shade and color. even brown and
purple. are seen. The crush roses are
more traetable In millinery than the
large and rather stiff Jacks and Ameri-
can Beauties. The wild prairie rose is
one of tr" prettiest for trimming, as is
also the old pink damask rose. Yellow
ones and white ones and some with
moss are shown.
AT most of the large millinery houses
at least those where no retail business
is done and goods are put out by the
ton. the workrooms are often In the
subcellar. and nearly all the flowers
are given out to the young girls and
women Of the poorest Italian and
French quarters. These are simply
made up on wire and sent back to the
factory to be stemmed and branched.
