Miss Libbv's Millinery openinu

In Il store prettily trimmed with au-
tumn leaves and potted plants and
ferns, and made further attractive by
the many features which unite to ere
ate first-class establishment of the
kind, Miss Libby inaugurated her an
nual fall millinery opening. yesterday.
1t would be useless to try to go into
detail over the hats displayed, for they
were all pretty, but there were several
summers which could not be passed
unnoticed. One was a large white
beaver and black velvet creation,
specially Partisan in shape. with black
nlumes, Ophelia roses and black APP
plique, aud having black shirred
streamers. Then there was Il petal
hat, made entirely Of ombre velvet
petals, with paradise feathers. making
a very pretty combination. Another
pretty hat was of fur with melon
shaped insertions of lace. But these
and the many others should be seen to
be appreciated. The leading fashion
this season is shirred work, and hand
some hats are shown made entirely of
shirring. In ribbon trimming the link
style is extensively used, and many
hats are made of fur. in ermine, beaver
and squirrel. A feature of Miss
Libby's hats is tie work put into them,
and those ladies who have seen her
display this season say that it is the
DrettieSt she has yet shown.

The EVENING Session,

The evening session was held at the
Congregational church, beginning at
o'clock. The first thing on the program
was a selection by the Abnaki Quartet
which was heartily enjoyed and en-
cOred twice. President Mallett then
introduced William ]. Long, d. d., OF
Stamford, Conn.,. as the speaker of the
evening. Dr.. Longs subject was "a
Study of Nature and Animal Life" and
his address was one of the finest things
ever given in the city of Augusta. To
most people it was a revelation COM
ing, as it were. from world unknown.
Everything was new and Dr. Long sue
cecded in giving his audience q new
outlook into the world Of things as they
are.
He began his address with an anus
ing description Of how he ound the
who found her lover by going toward
the spot where the stars shone bright
est. He selected the brightest star he
could find, in the form of a young lady,
and followed her, she leading him
straight to the State House. He did
not come before the people of Augusta
as a scientific man, giving the results
of his labors. He had come to tell them
about his play. He had learned about
Nature by loving her. and he believed
that was the true way to find out about
anything. Nature study was not sci
ence, but the very opposite. Science
concerns itself with laws and facts.
Nature study is freedom from law, the
observation of what one loves to watch.
Science deals with exact classification.
Nature study never classifies.
He then went on to relate anecdotes
as illustrations of the work Of the Ma
ture student. One of the first was the
story of the oyster and the little red
crab, which everybody has seen in
oyster stew. At certain seasons of the
year, the little crab sheds her shell.
She knows that she is defenceless and
seeks shelter with the oyster. not any
oyster. but some particular one. And
the grabbed old shellfish opens and
closes his shell gently for her to enter

there may be no delay in forwarding

Says Little Real Famine Exists in
Philippines, Though Rinderpest
Causes Loss of Cattle.

Washington, June 9.-The war depart
ment yesterday made public a report re-
ceived from Governor Taft replying TO
statements made by Lieut.. Gen. Miles
after his visit 10 the islands last year.
The report is dated at Benguet, ApriL1s,
and says in part:
That there Is shortage In the Islands
OF the usual food supply is undoubtedly
true, but l have been surprised 10 find
thus far how little real famine or hunger
there has been.
II have not received a single call from
a single provincial governor for rice for
free distribution In the entire archipelago,
The action OF the commission IN di-
recting a proclamation by the civil COVER
nor calling upon the people everywhere To
plant quickly-growing food products had
very wide influence in stirring up the
people 10 provide against the coming
famine.
THE most serious feature Of the situa-
tion Is the loss OF cattle from rinderpest
The fields OF the islands are infected
with rinderpest. so that cattle from the
other islands brought here are almost
sure 10 have the disease.
1T Is necessary, therefore, that all
cattle brought here shall he immunized 10y

LOCAL STEAMERS CHEAPER.
II am unable TO see that the govern
ment transports could be made useful
TO US, either In the transportati tion OF rice
or the transportation of cattle.
1--WE can charter steamers adapted TO
our purposes at perhaps one-fourth or
one-nfth OF the cost OF operating the
transports AS proposed by the lieutenant
general, Of the army.
1T is exceedingly important that we
shall not pauperize the people OF these

trlbuton of rice.

the merchants IN that nelghborhood In
sisted on forcing the price beyond what
was reasonable
II think the statement of facts I'm the
report of the lieutenant general is correct
so far. at least. as the dreadful depres-
sion OF agriculture by reason of the loss
of the cattle is concerned.
