The wearing of hats at the theaters, es-

it took some time to reform this outrage
in our own city. Now, however, one
very seldom sees woman with her hat on
in any part of a Boston theater.
The most fragrant breaking of this rule
which we have known of in some time
was by prominent and popular actress.
While her new play was being rehearsed
in this city, she attended an evening
performance wearing a most becoming
picture hat. She was requested to re-
move this by one of the ushers, but she
did not do so and remained in the theater
throughout the whole performance with
her hat on her head. She was the guest
OF the manager, yet did not have the good
manners to conform to the rules OF the
house. e.

HERoINEs OF OLD SONGS
Annie Laurie and "Pretty Jane" Were
Real Women With Real

In majority of cases the heroine whose
graces and virtues form the theme of

Which of those girls who have had their
love affairs immortalized in verse are the
most popular to-day it is hard to say.
The revival Of. the old songs by the min
strels in these latter days shows plainly
that they have as strong hold on the
public as when they were first sung. Men
and women who have travelled in many
lands and listened to everything worth
hearing in the way of good music will
settle back In their chairs and listen to
one Of the old songs with an air Of con-

WONDERFUL INDIAN RUGS.
Artistic Specimens Woven by the Def
Fingers OF New Mexl.


An interesting article in the February
Housekeeper gives some new facts regard
ing the art Of. blanket and rug weaving
az practiced by the Indian aborigines of
New Mexico. Along the valley Of the Rio |
Grande are several settlements in which |
the pueblos still practice their art o.
blanket weaving, which, If we except agri-
culture and stealing, says Francis E. Les
ter. the author, are, with pottery making,
their chief remaining occupations. Their
methods Of weaving show the effect of
their association with the native Mexicans,
since they differ entirely from the meth
DDS of the Navajos, resembling more those
Of the weaVers in the interior Of Mexico.
The Navajos weave, their blankets on an
upright frame, whereas the Pueblos' loom
Is huge and cumbersome affair, that, to
a casual observer, might readily be taken
for the framework of a little hut. The
weaver does his work standing in this
loom, often two weavers working side
by side. With the Navajos the women do
all the weaving, but the higher civiliza-
ton of the Pueblos is shown by the fact
that the men not. only weave the rugs,
but prepare, clean and spin the wool. The
natives use only "a high grade Of native
| wool for their, blankets and rugs. cut from
the sheep or Angora goat. The first proc
ess in preparing the wool is to wash and
cleanse it, removing all natural grease and
dirt. This Is done by hand, with the aid
of the "soap weed root, until the wool
| is as pure and clean as though 1t had
come fresh from a securing mill. r.
Following the washing and drying comes
| the carding. A crude handmade carder
I is used, consisting of a, rough piece of
wood some nine inches square, covered
with rawhide and prepared for its work by
numerous nails driven in and covering
one side. These pull and comb the wool
until it is ready for spinning. After spin
ming, it then goes to be dyed with those
| fast colors peculiar to Indian workman
| ship. As a study of the Handmade"
| these rugs are interesting, for surely
| nothing could be more entirely hand
| made. from start to finish. The Indians
| do not hurry in their rug making. Time
| is Of little object to them. An Indian rug
| Of heavy weave will outlast the life of an
! average man. and is often so closely WOW
en- as to hold water. Many a cowboy,
hard pressed for a bucket has watered his
1 horse from his Indian blanket. A weaver
| will spend days sometimes on a single
| rug. Many of these patterns and designs
require twenty or thirty changes in the
! running Of a single thread across the rug,
! and for each Of these changes there must
be a change in the shuttle used. In such
| cases the work becomes tedious. Pueblo
rugs bring good prices, and the humble
/ weaver with few wants and luxuries lives
a comfortable. peaceful life In his little
| abode dwelling.

HARMONY IN DRESS
The Tint Of Hair and Eyes Should Be

women.
1.-THE Cause of Woman" in the New
York Sun gives an account of a significant
sermon preached recently in st. Louis by
Rev. FIR. Coffey of st. Johns church.
It was a strong plea for wider field of
work for Catholic laywomen and a protest
against leaving the religious, charitable
and educational Institutions entirely to the
sisters He objected vigorously to ''rele-
eating women to the nursery and the
kitchen as their proper sphere and to
the spirit which objected to their promi-
hence in public affairs, but wanted them
'.to stay at home and say their prayers
and wear their lives out in domestic rou-
tine He scored the church for utilizing
them merely for it's own selfish purposes,
and referred to the wide fields which wo-
men We're encouraged Ito enter by the
Protestant church. 1--WE live in an age
demanding more of women he said. "A
vast field is open in educational, scien-
tific and artistic pursuits, and our Catho-
lie women should be to the front in all of
them. Women are often forced to provide
for themselves and their families to make
future as we'll as present provision, and
this and all public reform work should be
done under the protection and encourage
ment of the church. He prayed that
women would rise as leaders in these
great modern progressive movements.

At II o'clock this morning the last rites for the dead were pronounced over the remains of Dr. Goronwy owen by Rev. R. F.

This outpouring of people was marked tribute to the dead who in life was loved of all men and who in death was mourned by people in all walks of life.
 The chancel was picture from the many magnificent floral tributes from those who mourned the loss of the large hearted ad public-spirited man who. in life, souft to alleviate the sufferings of the sick and. if possible. heal them in their distresses. The faculty of the Med ical Department of the University of Ala bama and the students who are about to leave for their respective homes and who reaped the benefits of the knowledge Of the deceased, attended the obsequies in a body, as did the members of the City Board of Health and the professional sur geons and physicians of the Mobile Coun- ty Medical Association.
 Most solemn and impressive were the words of the learned divine, who in words of touching love, spoke of the deeds Of before him. The song service was most and the benediction by Rev: Matthew Brewster of Christ Episcopal Church was most touching.

THE RETIREMENT OF KNOX.
Brave Soldier Who Was Shot in
 Spanish-American War.

ePAiAoh-AAncIlCdn war.
 Washington, March 31.-(Special)-With the retirement of Gen. Joseph c. Breck- inridge. Inspector General of the army, April Il, there will be retirement and ad- Vancement for several other officers in this branch of the military establishment. Coi. George H. Burton. 1t is settled, will take the place of Inspector General. Among the officers to be advanced and retired Is Lieutenant Colonel T. T. Knox, Colonel Knox will retire not because of age but for disability. He was so seri- ously wounded at the first encounter be- tween the Spaniards and Americans in Cuba, the action at Las Quisimas, that he was thought to be mortally hurt. He was shot through the lungs. but kept his post of blod. -NN
 ColonelKnox. then a Major, was signal " gallant in this fight and his friends be- the first who were honored for the part he took In the war with Spain. But he was not Wood. nor a Bell nor a Fun ston. He was only modest professional soldier who did his duty whether in safety or in peril completely and without a mur- mur. He had no political pull. he did not stand close to the President who was him. self volunteer whose military ascend ancy, such as 1t Is, was made possible by the coolness and courage of the regulars. white and black, at the battle of Santi- ago. General Breckinridge earnestly ask ed promotion for Colonel Knox. at least that on his retirement he should be giv- en, in view of his gallant services and sacrifices the retiring rank of Brigadier General.
 Colonel Knox will be retired as a Col onel, merely. He was one of the heroes of the war with Spain. He gets no recog- milton either for his conspicuous bravery or for his desperate wounds. When the fair historian of that small war sepa- rates the tin soldiers who shed luster in office and the real soldiers who shed blood in battle, Knox will be remembered as the genuine stuff. Colonel Knox is a Tennes- seean, being native of Nashville. He was graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in June. 1871. and appointed a Second Lieutenant in the 1st Cavalry.
