Their Liberty.

on the roof, ready to lower themselves with
ropes at the first opportunity.
Besides the seventeen longtime prisoners,

the plot to escape. twenty-five temporary

FASHION IN HATS
FOR STEINER SEX
WHO ORDERS THE STYLES OF
HEADGEAR WHICH MEN SHALL
WEAR?-DIFFERENT STYLES.

A few years ago we were all wearing
stiff fiat-brimmed straw hats. Then
came an era of flexible ones, later mar
ow-brimmed, thick and rough ones APP
peared. Last spring there was a sud-
den appearance of imitation Panama
hats sudden and unaccountable as
the coming of seventeen-year locusts.
They covered every head except those
of the Saving remnant" or those of
the few stalwart conversatives, the in
dependent irreconcilables whose souls
are "all compact of heroic stuff"
Whence did these hats come? What
was the ultimate cause of their being
and why did so many people buy them?
These are questions which no social
philosophy can fathom. They consti-
tute part Of the deep mystery of life.
The changes in the attire of our sis
tiers are no less unaccountable. AS it
is impossible for any mere man to pre-
dict what woman will say or do un-
der a given set of circumstances, there
fore, it is still more absurd to foretell
what she will wear next winter or why
the change will be made. The law of
periodicity is as yet undiscoverable.
What governs the movement of the
travelling protuberance" or movable
bulge" which appears in different pla-
ces in the raiment of those whom we
v
men still living it affected the skirt or
lower garment, which became so large
in the sixties that there are well au-
thenticated cases where a young man
accompanied a young lady home from
church unaware that there was anoth-
er man on the other side. Then the
movable bulge" appeared in the rear
then on the shoulders or the upper part
of the arm covering then high on the
D oh hn
waist. Where will it move to next?
We believe in a universe regulated by
law, but we are unable to formulate
the law of the movable hump. In a
lesser degree the changes in the shape
of the toes of shoes are unaCcOuntable,
though the crop of corns might have
some effect in the recent change from
pointed toes to blunt ones. There must
be somewhere a secret tribunal likS
the "Vehm Gerichte" of the middle
ages, or the council of ten in Venice,
which DEGREES changes so wide
sweeping and so universally accepted.
Its authority rests on the principle that
man is an initiative animal. It's writ
runs with equal validity in Paris, Lon
don, New York, Newport, in Aroostook
county, Maine, and in Tucson Arizona.
1t controls men and women of all ra-
ces and all religious. Parliament and
Congress are equally powerless to pre-
vent the carrying out of its DEGREES.
Only the few Independents we spoke of
have the moral force-or obtuseness-
to be Indifferent to its laws. 1t calls
itself Fashion, and it works in a mys-
ferrous way. No man can find the pre-
else headquarters of an authority
wider than that of Great Britain, of an
Imperialism more truCulent than that
of the United States. We have not the
slightest idea what kind of uncomfort-
able hats it will order all of us to wear
next su inner, but we have little doubt
that most Of us will obey. And yet
we call ourselves free agents.-HarI-
ford Times

UNIQUE MISSION.

Rev. DR.. George F. Pentecost, who is
to go to the Philippines, China and
Japan as the special representative Of
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions and the American board of COM
missioners for foreign missions, is to
leave New York on the 18th, stopping
for few days and sailing from Lon
don for the Philippines on October I.
DR.. Pentecost's mission is a unique
one. Explaining it, he says: My mis-
sion to the East is not to be Classed
with the regular routine of mission
airy work, and my duties will be very
different from those of foreign mis-
sionary. | suppose | am, in a sense, a
special commissioner sent to do a spe-
cial work. From London l go directly
to Manila, and shall be in the Philip
pines until February l. The succeed

marily to enlist the English and Amer

OFFERS
SOME INCENSE
IN THIS CASE IT TOOK THE FORM
OF OLD NEWSPAPERS-WE
EFFECTIVE AND CHEAP.

Two thousand newspapers, burned
on the square of Plum alley shortly
after midnight, represented the incense
offered up for the good fortune of the
forefathers of 500 Cinnamon living in
Salt Lake. says the Salt Lake Herald,
According to the rules laid down by
COnfucius, father of the Chinese reI-
gion, it is right and proper that on the
10th day of October and at the begin
ming OF the day, all good Celestials
must burn incense to the memory of
their forefathers. This law of the ia
Their of the religion was carried out
last night by the residents of Plum
alley Scarcely had the clock in the
city and county building struck l than
from all directions and from every
residence in the district there appeared
Cinnamon of all ages and conditions,
all of them carrying bundles of the
newspapers of the city, with which to
offer tribute to the souls of their an
cestors.
They gathered around in solemn cir
Gle, and then the high priest of the
Joss, Ling Woo by name, stepped for
ward and applied a match to a scent
ed taper, which he laid upon the
ground. AS the flames fared up, the
Chinese, anxious for the welfare of
their forefathers, stepped up one by
one and laid a bundle of newspapers
on the flames. They burned fiercely
while the filial descendants muttered
incantatiOns beneath their breath.
High above the surrounding buildings
rose the flames, wrapping in ghostly
pallor the figure of the great Joss car
ried by the chief COnfucian. AS the
flames died down, having burned out
the fuel, long wailing cry arose from
the assembled worshipers, and then,
fn
turned and each sought his separate
abode.
The use of newspapers instead of the
real Chinese incense is a new innoVa-
ton, cOuntenanced only two years ago
and allowed only after several trials
for heresy. 1t seems that two years
ago number of the Chinese popula-
ton here decided that the incense i'm
ported from the Flowery Kingdom was
too expensive, and decided that the
newspapers covered with the inscrip-
tons of the foreign devils" would
serve the purpose. 1t was first intro
duced at this time, two years ago, and
brought forth storm of protest from
the orthodox Cinnamon, who held that
old customs were better than new. The
younger generation detained against
the useless expenditure of coin for
those long dead and held that any
kind of paper which bore an inscrip-
ton was good enough. The fight was
carried to the chiefs in San Francisco
and it was finally decided that the
newspaper as an incense was orthodox.
There were some among the Old Con-
fucians last night who sighed for the
days of incense, and held printers ink
to be an adherence in the sight of
Joss, but they We're few and Ear be-
tween.
After the ceremony the interrupted fan
tan games were resumed and business
was good in the chop suey" joints.

LOST ARTS OF
CREEK INDIANS
NO LONGER MAKE EARTHEN-
WARE VESSELS OR BASKETS.
NATIVE INDUSTRIES LANGUISH.

Civilization has caused the making of
baskets and earthenware vessels TO be-
come lost art among the G eek In
dams, who, in early days, were skilled
in their manufacture, says the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch. The small cost
of these articles al stores made their
purchase more desirable than the toll
of weaving and molding them at home.
The baskets and pottery were made eX-
clusively by the women
Early in the spring, when the sap was
rising in the trees the clay was ripe"
or in condition just adapted to the use
of the potter. 1t was dug and placed
where other soil would not mix with 1t.
Spring water and pulverized mussel
shell were added to it, and the women

Jars were built up from the bottom
The rounghness was removed by rub
bling the jar with a stone. After the
jars We're burned in the kiln they were
allowed to cool gradually. The in
terror of the jars was polished with
pebbles. The exterior was never per-
fectly smoothed and was ornamented
with crude figures and characters.
Many jars were broken in the process
of burning. The finished vessels with
stood the hottest fires and were the
only cooking utensils of the Creeks.
Alice NJ. Robertson, Supervisor Of
Schools in the Creek Nation in a report
to the superintendent of Schools, said:
The Creeks long ago were .. very in
dustrious people, and skilled in primi-
tive manufactures. The men titled the
ground and wrought in wood and metal
and the women wove fabrics of cotton
on rude upright looms like those still
used by the Navajo. The women also
made garments of buckskin. Their
headwork was of unique beauty and
they were skilled in pottery and basket
ry. Scarcely a woman is now living
who can make pottery. The stone jar

WHAT WILL HE CALL IT?

A new problem has suddenly arisen
before G. w. Ashford, the Independent
candidate for the Senate. When he
will be called upon to swear to his
campaign expenses, he will probably
be in a quandary as to whether he
should include a So fine which was le-
We'd against his outside orator this
morning by Judge Wilcox in the police

had been arrested yesterday on a
charge of posting dodgers and notices
of Ashford's candidacy without having

er of certain fences and posts to make
such use of the objects.
