Spring Millinery Hints.

While Winter millinery is still a
pressing theme and little elimination
is to be noted in the output of new
headgear for cold weather, the atten-
ton Of the manufacturers is already
focused upon'the models for Spring

Delineator presents a number OF
original effects in straw that will hold
high place among the best products
of the year. Many sly les and shapes
are illustrated, and some are pre-

THE CANAL.

Last week the House of Represen-
tatives passed the Nicaragua Canal
bill by a vote of 308 to 2.
The bill as passed authorizes the
President to secure from the States
of Costa RIGA and Nicaragua, in be-
half OF the United States, control of
such portion of the territory belong
ing to the said States as may be de-
slrable and necessary in which to
excavate, construct and prospect a
canal suitable to the wants of mod
ern navigation and commerce and
appropriate such sum as may be
necessary to secure the control of said
territory. Section II authorizes the
President, after securing control OF
the needed territory, to direct the
Secretary of War to construct such
canal from the Caribbean Sea, at a
point near Greytown, in Nicaragua,
by way of Lake Nicaragua. to a
point on the Pacific Ocean near Brito,
and also to construct proper harbors
at the termini of said canal and to
make the necessary provisions for the
defense of the canal and harbors.
Sections III and Nv authorize the
President to make such surveys as
may be necessary, and to employ
such persons in constructing the
canal as may to HIM seem wise, and
directs that in the construction of the
canal the River San Juan and Lake
Nicaragua shall be used as far as
they are available. Section V autho-
rizes the President to guarantee to
the States of Costa Rica and Nicara-
qua the use of the canal and harbors,
upon terms to be agreed upon, for
all vessels owned by said States and
by citizens thereof. The last Sec
ton makes a present appropriation of
SO. O0o, 600 to carry on this work
and authorizes the Secretary of War
to enter into proper contracts for
material and work as may be deemed
necessary therefor, such work and
material to be paid for as appropria-
tions may be made from time to time.
The section fixes the aggregate cost
at $3.50, 900, 900, to be drawn from
the treasury ON warrants of the
President.

liberal offer and the details of it will
be sent you by applying to the Attain
ia Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.

Ga. Cotton receipts will be given as
follows:
To the person sending a yearly
subscription to the Atlanta Constitu-
ton (weekly) together with the cor
rect estimate on the cotton receipts

next nearest estimates in their order.
There is also a great consolation
offer. $500 will be distributed

the larger prizes and whose estimates
come within 500 bales either way Of
the exact figure. This allows a mar
gin of 1000 bales within which all
