The attractive store of the @. H.

fine work in the millinery depart

crea tiOns for sprirg and summer are
extremely stylish and adapted for wear
with the smart street costumes. A
number of exceedingly pretty picture
hats are shown. There has not been a
season for years when the materials
used presented such an attractive dis
play. Laces are used profuSely in the
making this year, antique, chantilly,
venetian, oriental, abian applique in
medallion effects being used chiefly.
Molines in all colors. chiffons, straw
braids of all kinds are also freely used.
Much fruit is used in the trimming,
including grapes, currants, cherries
and hazelnuts, and fOrget-me-nots,
bluets and roses are the principal
flower effects. Cardinal is the pre-
dominating color this year, while
champagne, burned straw, bluet
shade, rose and light blue, as well as
the conventional black and white, are
also popular. One of the popular tur-
bins is the fiat iron shape. In chill
1ron3S hot re hrirbt nd viii

tiOns is the light shades of blue and

W. G. BARTON'S MILLINERY OPENING.
The spring and summer opening at
the popular store of w. G.. Barton is
always an interesting and notable
event with New Milford ladies and
that Of Wednesday and Thursday was
no exception. Both the fruit and the
flowers are becoming more and more
natural each year, and the millinery
stores yearly assume more of the APP
pearance of combined fruit store
and conservatory. Most of the hats
this year are made Of fancy StrawS and
molines in all shades, and the two are
combined effectively. The hats re-
tain the fiat feature of last year.
various shades and in all sorts of ma
terial. Many fancy ornaments are
shown in pearl, jet and straw, the jet
being an especial feature. Soft, pill
able ribbons are popular, and some
ostrich plumeS are used. The hang
ing off effect with ribbons, which has
prevailed for some years, has diSap-
peared almost entirely, and is replaced
by the millinery effect in horse hair
and silks. Many new ideas for ar
rangement of trimming are shown.
The crepe Francois is used and is par
ticularly pretty for the facing of hats
The underbrim effects are prettier
than ever this spring. Lace promises
to be feature Of the summer hats,
and lace combined with straw braid
and dyed to match it in color is con-
sidered exceedingly smart. Flowers
will be used in profusion, and forget
me-nots and orchids are among the
favorites. The dainty forget me-nOts
are used in every color and are fash
toned into resets combined with rib
bons and roses. Many small flowers
will be seen, though Jack roses are
high in favor, some of the smartest
turbans are made of glace chip straw
that is light and has silky appear

pecially handsome. The entire scheme

QUEEN OF EMPHASIZES.
MISSOURI BREAKS WORLDS
 RECORD FOR HER CLASS.

Splendid PerfoI nance of the Latest
 Acquisition to the American Navy in
 Her First Speed Triai-Contract Re-
 quirements Exceeded by Good Margin.
 Boston, Oct. 21.-The new battleship Missouri to-day proved herself the queen of the seas in her class in a speed trial trip over the Cape Ann course with weather conditions of consider ably handicapping nature. Steaming over a course of thirty-three nautical miles and return, the battIeship made an average speed of 1905 knots per hour which with tidal corrections greatly in her favor, it is believed, will advance it to 1922 knots, a new worlds record for battleships in her class.
 The first part of the run was made against a strong northwest breeze, which kept down the speed to 17.64 knots, but coming back the conditions were more favorable, and the thirty three knots were covered in 1 hour 47 minutes and 9 seconds, speed of 1S46 knots per hour. The big battleship at one time attained speed of 1S.7 knots per hour. The contract requirements call for IS Knots and a margin was very gratifying, not only to the build CTS, the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock O., but the government off, cials on board. 'e
 The best previous record made by a battleship in the Missouri's class is that of the Maine, a sister ship, which was 17.9S per hour.

The op- posing teams had swayed back and forth over the field, as two evenly ball. anced giants as ever met. on the grid- iron. The Navy by hard line-buckfng had pushed the ball to within ten yards of the visitors goal, when the latter by herculean efforts hurled the mfdship- men back. The medzcos made gains Of three and five yards and had just lined up for another effort, when Levin, right guard for the Baltimoreans, fell to the ground. He was carried from the field and five minutes later was pronounced dead by an attending physician. The cause of death is given as cardiac sym cope. The body was taken to the naval academy hospital. where a post-mortern examination will be made
 Neither team had scored when the sad ending of the contest came.

 wnI Not Play for some Time.


 wiII Not Play for some Time
 An accident quite disturbing to thu peace of mind of the Yale coaches oc- cured during the practice yesterday afternoon at the field when Boomer. who was playing left guard, had his shoulder partly dislocated in scrin- mage. Bloomer was beneath great human mass when hurt and on emerg- ing quietly remarked to Trainer Mur- phy that he was injured. They walked over to the side lines and several men with the assistance of pr. Murphy, the ex-baseball captain, managed to set the shoulder to rights. There are different stories regarding the seriousness of the accident-one that Bloomer will not ba able to play until perhaps the Harvard game and another that he VIII Be in shape for the game Saturday with West Point. His loss would leave a. wide gap in the team. Hogan, Shevlin and Kinney were not in yesterday'a lineup Hogan is somewhat lamef Shevin has bad back and knee and Kinney's ankle is taking longer than first thought to get into condition. With these crippled Yale's chances of defeating Princeton would be very poor and considerable concern is now being manifested
