THEIR OWN SALVATION.
Officers of Susquehanna Steel Conn
pany May Work 1t Out.


LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. fudge Lam
dis, before whom an application was made
for a receiver for the Susquehanna Iron
and Steel Company, handed down a ruling
to-day in which he refuses to either ap-
point a receiver or dismiss the petition, but
gives the company until Jan. /, next, to
establish a stable basis. The judge says:
w have no disposition to interfere with
the progress of the company nor to embar-
rass it in its business ventures. If it can,
of itself, weather any storm which is likely
TO arise We viii not only encourage the eff
forts of its officers but will also assist
them as far as the court is able. But If IL
cannot meet its obligations il is certainly
the duty of the court to see that no one
individual secures an undue advantage over
his fellows and that its assets shall be pro-
tected in every possible way for the COM
mon good of all. We have therefore con-
cluded that we will not, at this time. ap-
point a receiver, nor will we dismiss the
bill. 1t is our purpose to give the officers
and directors of the company an oppor-
tunity to work out their own salvation.
IL between this date and Jan. /, 1904. they
can satisfactorily show that the finances of
the company can be and have been placed in
such shape as to secure their continuance
of the business and a reasonable likelihood
of it's future success We will dismiss the
petition. If, on the contrary, they are not
able to do this, we will appoint some disin-
terested person as receiver. At this time.
therefore, no final decree will be entered"

Professor Carl Lumholtz. collector OF In

Europe. where he has been to follow up
his Investigations into the decorative art
of a primitive people whom from a scien-
tifc point Of view he discovered in a little
valley in the southern end Of the northern
Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico.
Professor LumholtZ has been engaged for
years In studying the peoples OF Mexico
and collecting there material for the mu-
scum. and IL was while there that he came
across these people. who had long been
known in a vague way TO the Mexican gov
eminent under the name OF the Huichols.
The then Governor Curiel Of the State Of
Jalisco met him while he was engaged In
his scientific work and mentioned the
Huichols, whom the government, he said,
had never been able to do more than locaU,
inasmuch as they were isolated in a deep,
upapproachaDie valley of the Sierra Madre.
The Governor said that while the Huichoi
tribe had been found and partly subjugated
i'm 1723, when Mexico belonged to Spain,
they had never paid any taxes or held
much communication with the outside
world.
Recognizing that this must be a race
which probably had maintained the Gus
toms of their tribes that were found during
the conquest, Professor Lumholtz decided TO

The Top Hat.

Tall hats, ''pearking up like the spire
of steeple quarter of yard above
the crowne," as a sixteenth century
writer describes them, were known in
the time of Elizabeth, and the Puri-
tans affected them until they merged
into the old fashioned beaver of our
great-grandfathers' days. Top hats of
silk appeared first in Florence about
1900, and twenty years later silk hats
with felt bodies were introduced into
England.
About 1910 the French silk hat was
placed on the market and at once
adopted in the familiar chimney pot
shape There were several varieties
of it, such as the Wellington hat, with
the yeoman crown; the Anglesea hat,
bell shaped at the top, and the D'orsay
hat, with ribbed silk binding and big
bow.
The color also varied Thus the
Earl of Harrington started craze for
green top hats by wearing one in his
garden with the idea of not frighten-
ing the birds. He also tested his silk
hats by standing upon them. The top
hat, however, was never SO favored
by any great parsonage as to account
for its general adoption.-London An
