lost no time in finding a man who

will hold over. This naturally is the
time when new features are few in the
shops, so little evidence Of what is COM
ing can be seen. and when the shopper
takes to advising with supposed authori-
ties, she becomes confused because she
finds much diversity of opinion among
them. Early fall styles will probably be
those of summer to most intents and pur-
poses. Then the older fashions will blend
into the new, instead Of coming to an
end with a right This has been
the way for several seasons, develop
ment that cool springs and late summers
may have assisted. The blending pro-
cesses are pleasant, anyhow, especially
for women of limited means.
These processes are suggested strongly
by the new wool fabrics offered for early
fall tailor suits. These goods vary very
little from the present ones. They in
clude many fancy suitings showing either
f1ecks, dots, stripes or fancy figures, all
of which points to less elaboration in
makeup, but it won't do to be sure of a
widespread change in this direction.
Many new fabrics show fancy borders,
often ON both sides Of the goods, so lot
of the border can be used in the gown.
This border is submitted as a substitute
for lace, passementerie and other elab-

rul color pongee banded and stitched
with red, and light tan wolfe self-stitch-
ed and finished with Irish lace. Besides
all these stylish sorts, there are beautiful
lace wraps, which are an expensive
grade because they must have lining Of
a silk that has body enough to set the
lace out we'll and give it finished ap-
pearance. Most light colored loose coats
are adorned with lace collars or other
lace trimmings. The heavy laces are es-
pecially attractive in such uses, as they
stay in place much better than do lighter
ones.
In some wash suits and waists of white
linen 1t is hard to say whether the suit
is lace trimmed with linen, or linen trim
med with lace. The lace insertions often
are so wide that there is as much lace
showing as linen, and OF one waist the
entire top and bottom were of Irish lace,
a band of white linen just below the
bust and across the elbow being the only
linen showing. Much the same is true Of
white suits and of linen dresses gener-
ally. Three of them are put in the sec
ond of to-day's pictured groups. The first
was a white handkerchief weave trim

The professor who was the chief in
structor of the present King Of Italy
during his boyhoed has lately made
some interesting statements as to the
method pursued in the education of the
prince.

to treat him as would any other pupil,
neither showing him any undue respect
nor any Indulgence even in tritiing
matters. For example, if anything was
needed during the lesson it was the
prince who should get it, and not |; and
If a book or anything like 1t were to
fall from the table it was the prince
who should pick it up"
The tutor was sharp in his repri-
mands If the prince sighted his les
soEs.
"Your royal highness should remem'
ber," he said, on one occasion, that a
kings son. If he is blockhead, will
remain a blockhead, for in this respect
there is no difference between him and
the son of shoemaker"
At another time the prince asked to
be relieved from exercise on horseback
on the plea that he had headache.

to prevent your royal highness from
appearing at the head of his troopsT

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Hangings Are Witnessed by Crowds
 of Morbidly Curious People.

AA6AEdB StIy 0tdIs
 Three murderers were hanged in Mis- souri yesterday-Bud Taylor. in Kansas City. pr. James L. Gartrell in Butler and Charles May. in St. Joseph. In Kansas City the death chamber in the jail was packed with curious spectators. and . large crowd assembled early in the morn ing outside the building. The hanging of Gartreli was witnessed by 1.500 peaple within the jail inclosure, and on the out side people climbed on the roofs of ad- joining houses to catch glimpse of the condemned man. In St. Joseph there was the usual excitement attendant upon such tragicai events.
 That this sort of morbid curiosity, and the effort that is put forth to gratify 1t. is distinctly demoralizing Is apparent to all thoughtful and intelligent persons. That the publicity of these terrible ex- amples of the laws vengeance does not act as a deterrent to murder is definitely demonstrated by the continuation and constant recurrence of homicide in Mis- souri, The expediency of capital pun ishment may be open to debaet. but 1t Is beyond question that the method of its accomplishment in this State is tnexcus- ably barbarous While public sentiment may favor, as a punishment for mur- der, the method of choking the slayer to death, there Is no apology whatever for making these awful enactments anything but private Every hanging in Missouri ought to take place at the same locality preferable the capital or the State, as in ohio-and no spectators that are not au- thorized by the law should be admitted.
 There were many sensitive people in Kansas City, with no sympathy whatever for Bud" Taylor. who were neverthe- less made wretched for fortnight pre- ceding his hanging. This is not fair nor right and such annoyance could and ought to be obviated by the plan of a central place of execution.
 It is difficult for persons of proper sem abilities to understand how any man could desire to see another hanged, but that does not alter the fact that many prurient individuals will put themselves out a great dead and go to much pains to witness a death on the gallows. NOT does 1t affect the result that every time such A vital taste is gratified 1t is to the harm and injury of public morals and a distinct deterioration of proper standards of taste and conduct
 The odfous inclination of feasting the eve on the death agony of criminals IS the sort of vicious appetite that grows on what 1t feeds on. The opportunity for such demoralization ought to be strictly prohibited by a right regard for public decency formulated into law.
