HINTS ON SPRING HATS.
But Little In the Way of Elegant Sim
plicity Appears In the Seasons
Millinery.

Spring hats have blossomed out in
the lead for decoration. Roses of
every tint are first on the list, but
every sort of exquisite floral design
is in evidence on new French models.
Round hats formed of foliage trails
and rose clusters are among the most
fascinating of the seasons styles.
The<shaded ping roses, with delicate
petals that seem ready to fall at the
slightest motion, are used for either
brims or crowns, sometimes roses
cover the entire crown. and the grace
fully arranged green leaves form the
brim, or the arrangement is reversed.
Many of the large hats are made yet
more imposing by reason of very
large bows of wide satin ribbon ar
ranged at the back of the hat, says
the New York Post. Again, a Span
.ish scarf is draped around the base
of the crown, with the ends falling
over the hair at the back. Seine of
the scarf ends on summer hats will
reach to the waist and these will be
formed variously of Bruges, Vene-
tian, Chantilly or Flemish lace, or of
net, chiffon, or tule. Running to ex-
cess in the matter of dress or mil
linery has for some time been a
foible if not serious fault of La
Mode. Excess tends to the ostenta-
ton that most generally indicates
vulgarity. Thus far spring millinery
shows but little in the way of elegant
simplicity. Nearly all the. flowers are
very pretentious as to size, and on
the greater portion of the French
models they, with draperies of chif-
fon or tulle caught with large con-
spicuous buckles, and combined with
huge loops of ribbon or plumes va
riously disposed, impart to the hat q
top heavy and greatly overdone eff
feet that is neither really artistic,
attractive nor becoming. Its attrac-
ton to the great majority lies alone
. In the fact that it is the fashion.
<Tha prettiest hats yet shown are the
ltkoe and foliage models above men-
koned.

DREW THE LINE AT MURDER.
The Districts Dead-ShOt Didn't Want
to XIII Only a Piece of
Man.

On his last visit to Philadelphia Col.
Henry Watterson told story that did
not get into print, says the Philadel-
phia times. 1t was about a much bat
tered old lawyer who went up into the
mountain region to collect a claim.
He was lame and half blind and one
armed. A local celebrity in the case
was the districts dead shot, who had
killed many men and who was ready
to shoot anything or anybody. He
came in daily to see the lawyer about
a case in which he was interested un-
til his visits became extremely tire
some.
Finally the lawyer exclaimed: Get
out of here and stay out of here. Get
out right away. I'm sick of seeing you.
Don't stand there. Go on out, tell
you"
The desperate looked at the wreck
Of a man in incredible dismay, and
before he knew what he was doing he
was backing out of the room. When he
reached the street he burst into tears.
The inhabitants crowded around and
asked him what was the matter.
"He druv me out" he walled. "Druv
me right out of the room. Said he's
tired o. lookin' at me and won't let
me come back no more"
"Why didn't you shoot him." asked
the crowd.
"Shoot him?" echoed the slayer Of
many lives. "Shoot him? He couldn't

couldn't hear He couldn't run and
he couldn't fight. Why, Teller citizens,

The Inn migration, Hsili.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The senate de-
voted most of to-day to the immigra-
ton bill and adopted number OF
amendments. There was considerable
discussion of an amendment offered by
Mr.. Burton of Kansas to admit Chinese
laborers to Hawaii. 1t was met with
considerable opposition and finally was
laid on the table. The provision in the
bill prohibiting the sale of liquor in the
capitol building caused some criticism
of the house for putting it in the bill
but the provision was not stricken out
During the day the militia bill was dis
cussed. 1t will be taken up again
Thursday.

also provide for the free entry of
Christmas boxes into the Philippines
to soldier and civil employees? We-are
advised from Washington that, for the
first time since the insurrection in the
Philippines, soldiers gifts will not be
allowed free entry into the islands this
year, and that the decision has been
reached by the Cabinet in obedience to
the law passed by Congress, imposing
duties on imports into the Philippines.
This will not be very comforting news
to the friends Of the 1900 brave boys
in blue who, sar across the seas, are
fighting the battles of their country.
We are not surprised to learn that
Secretary Root was especially anxious
to continue the custom inaugurated by
President Mckinley OF permitting the
friends and relatives of soldiers to
send their Christmas boxes by Govern
ment transports, free of transportation
charges and free of duties. Secretary
Shaw has cut several gordian knots by
setting the law aside in emergencies.
1t is time for him to get out his knife
again. If the laws are to be relaxed
for the benefit of our bankers and Of
American travellers abroad, let them be
rexaled also for the American soldier.
If Secretary Shaw cannot find a way to
do 1T, let the President solve the diff
Guilty. The Republican party, if poll
teal considerations are to be primarily
considered, should bear in mind that
the taxing of the soldiers Christmas
boxes will be utilized on the Democratic
stump very effectively, as an argument
against the policy Of protection
