ARE WOMEN OR MEN MORE
EXTRAVAOANT IN DRESS2
By RUPERT H. RYLEY, of New York.

Since tire minds Of men have turned
recently to costly beadgear in the way
Of Panama hats, the question Is fre-
ouently asked BY women more as an in
sinuation than as a means Of seeking
information
do Lot men really dress at more ex-
travagant cost than women"
Taking this matter Of head adorn-
ment by itself. the summer extrava-
gance Of men IN Panamas Is little com
pared with the prodigality Of women

Besides. the PaLgma man is a being
Of comparative rarity; the maid OF the
matron without q costly head adorn-
Eaent at any season would be marvel

There are people who, despite the
pressure Of adversely and misfortune,
always hope and aspire. These peo-
pie take to literature by instinct, and
their hopes thereby obtain growth,
and their aspirations form.
The world of books tempts one al
ways with its allurements. From the
vale of Poesy with its pastoral de-
lights one is prompted to travel up
the steep crags of thought to the top
most domain Of philosophy.
How shall this journey be under
taken7 Where find compass or guild
ance in this world OF unreasonable
wealth.
It needs but little time set apart
each day or evening for the reading
Of what is called standard works. If
culture Of the mind is aimed at, let
the one who is moved by such a cred
liable desire read only books that are
critical and expositional In tone and
intent.
George GiIfllin's two volumes of
Literary Portraits P G. Hammer
toms Intellectual Life" Taine's en-
glish Literature" and Frederick Har-
rison's Meaning of History" are
notable examples Of this class.
Reading along such lines induces
thought and provokes investigation,
One finds that these writers make con-
slant reference In their judgments of
a poem, novel or history, to the abid-
ing charm of poems such as Cole

DEEP SORROW OVER
DEATH OF MAJOR OTEY

respect the committee do now adjourn.
and that these resolutions be spread upon
the records of this committee and copy
thereof be, transmitted to the family of
the deceased"
Major Otey was always active in the
interests Of the District OF Columbia, and
in his death the committee loses an earn
est and painstaking member. Major Otey
was regarded as one of the best story
tellers in the House. He was an enter
tanning speaker and always commanded
attention when he arose to address the
House
He did not speak often, but when he
did he invariably set everybody to feeling
good natured. even in the midst Of a Bit
ter partisan controversy. He always mar
rated long string Of anecdotes. each one
of which had point which he used to
very aptly illustrate his argument.
Singular Coincidence.
1t was remarked as a coincidence yes
terday that it fell to the sad lot of Rep
resentative Jcnes of Virginia to announce
to the House the sudden death of his col
league. Major Peter J. Otey. On Decem-
ber 81 1900. Mr.. Jones presented the reso-
luton informing the House of the death
of Representative Richard a. Wise, which
occurred at the latters home In Will
liamsburg, Va And the death of Mr..
Wise. like that of Major Otey. was sud.
den and unexpected.

NORTHERN SECURITIES
PUTS ANSWER ON FILE
Reply to Suit of the United States
Handed Up to Circuit Court
in Minnesota.

NEW YORK. May 5.-The answer Of the
Northern Securities Company in the suit
brought by the United States TO establish
its legal status was filed today in the Cir
cult Court of the United States for the
district of Minnesota. In the answer, the
defendants deny that the persons named
in the bill as controlling owners of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific ever owned
or controlled as much as one-thrd Of the
stock of each road. They say that these
holdings were separate and individual, and
connected by nc obligations, but individual
interests.
1t is admitted that J. J. H:ll and other
holders OF Great Northern stock did plan
the organization Of the Northern Securi-
ties Company and shareholders of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern have
sold to the Northern Securities Company
a majority of Northern Pacific and Great
Northern stock, but IT is averred that
this sale was not by any agreement among
stockholders but was a sale by indivld-
uals and that the Great Northern Secur-
tiles Company is simply 4 stockhoider.
In conclusion the point is made that as
1.300 persons sold stock to the defendant
they should all be made defendants.
