An exceedingly handsome hat IS Of black,
green and white, the black making the
main portion, the green and the white
forming narrow edges, and is trimmed
with green velvet and two Of the now
round stir feathers at the side. The vel
vet forms bow with loops and ends and
falls down over the hair In the back,
feature that Is noticeable in all the more
elaborate spring styles. Whether It means
that hair Is to be worn low In the neck
or Is not remains to be seen. That the
trimming was devised with that end In
view is umquestionably a fact, but we
all know that there are times when the
best laid plans Of men come to naught
and time alone can show whether or not
this effort will succeed.

The arst hats OF the spring are charm-
Ing. Not 50 long ago we waited for
Daster to bring forth new headgear and
did not so much as think OF changing
before that date but, year BY year, the
time Of abandoning winter bonncts has
become earlier and earlier until now we
seo new things almost before Lent has

they may, these new hats must be de-
claret handsome and in the best OF taste.
elegant simplicity Is the rule In all Of the
better sort and color schemes are simply
delightful quite apart from any practical
use, The general tendency In shapes Is
to be low and fiat, but they are less ex-
aggeratedly SO than was the case, last
year, and almost uniformly there are
= distinct crowns. Materials are rarely
beautiful and exceptionally varied. Col
ors are exquisite. With two such con-
ditions existing as a, foundation 1t has
been q simple matter for the designers
to bring forth good and desirable thlnss.
STYLES divide themselves into two sorts,
the simple hats Of morning wear and suit
able for the plain tailored suit, and the
elaborate hats and bonnets designed for
occasions Of dress. The former are the
ones first In demand and are really las
chatting In form and color Turbans arc
almost ubiquitous and show multitude
of variations Together with the sailors

they differ widely from the original

The Story of
 the Paxton Family

of Lexington, and their homestead was known as the Green Tree"
 Captain John Paxton was the first child of John Paxton and Mary Blair, born i7ls, died 17s7 from the effects of a wound re- ceived in the battle of Guilford court house. He was a noted patriot of the Revolution. He married Phoebe Alexan- der.
 Joseph Paxton, born in Rockbridge County, Va, December g, 177s; died in Lincoln County, Kentucky, 1s46, was the son of Captain John Paxton and Phoebe Alexander. He married first his cousin, Elizabeth Paxton; and married, second. Mrs. Panthea Mckinney, nee Huston. 7 Hannah M. Paxton was the fifth child of Joseph Paxton and Elizabeth Paxton. She was a Paxton on both her paternal and her maternal side. She was born February 2 ISIS, and died May 1s, 1895. She married her step-mother's son, George H. Mckinney. January g, 1s45. He was horn January 30, ISIS, died January l5. 1899.
 These were the parents of J. I. McKin- ney of 4-ontgomery. or the late Seoree H. Mckinney. the compiler of 'Tne Pax ton Family says:
 s.He was for one term. Circuit Clerk or Lincoln County, Ky. Served in the union army as quartefmaster. was raiiroad passenger agent, and gentleman or character and influence. His letters 10 me display literary culture and commend able family pride."

of Virginia. It was at the battle of Cham cellorsville, when advancing to the ene- my that General Paxton was shot, and expired in a moment.
 It is said of this patriot.
 NO truer patriot ever breathed than General Paxton. He worshipped Virginia, and died at her altar. He believed his allegiance was due, rather to his State than to the Union. Loyalty to Virginia was an article of his faith"

INDIANS ON A STRIKE.
Tribe Says 1t will Work as a Unit
 or Not at All.

Washington. Sept 15.-A strike of the Warmers Ranch Indians in California for the employment of their tribe as a unit on Irrigation work ordered by the gov ernment for their own benefit. has been reported to the Interior Department by George Butler. irrigation superintendent.
 Mir. Butler was ordered to the Pala ranch, whence the Warmers Ranch In- dians recently were transferred after years of trouble. to develop a water sup ply and dis irrigation ditches for the benefit of the Indians. He promised to employ all whenever extension of the work warranted 1t, but the Indians re- fused to go to work, deciding at a coun- ell meeting that all or none of their number should be employed.
 Mir. Buffers report arfaigns the tribe as dissatisfied. unruly and unsettled" 1" says they attempt to dictate the policy of the reservation and terms of labor and refused to affiiiate with the other Indians except at festas. At & recent fiesta. he says. forty places where drinks were sold were counted. and the report adds: Tt Is said a deputy marshal was running a game wide open." The report questions the advisability of employing the Indians on the irrigation work under the circumstances.

Whichever side they chose. their motive was patriotism"
 The Paxtons are scattered from New York to San Francisco, and from the far North to the far South. but they all come originally from Pennsylvania. And of the family as a whole. the author of their genealogy very truthfuliy says:
 Physical forms and features agree with mental and moral characteristics in declaring We are One" Their stalwart frames, their truth, rectitude, courage and faith, claim common origin. De- void of personal ambition. they prefer to elevate others rather than to exalt them selves. None has tarnished the name by crime, and none has passed an hour in penal servitude.
 Patriotic and courageous by nature. they were the first to respond to the call for arms. Few of them aspired to com mand. Their names are mostly found with the rank and file. Their blood stained many a gory field. and scores of honored graves attest their valor. The warrior is generally religious. He believes in destiny. He embraces the Calvanistic creed. Nine out of ten of the Paxtons were Presbyterians. Few of them attain ma jority without joining the church. Infidel- ity and immortality are unknown. A few have attained distinction as statesmen, orators and military officers. But many are found in the pulpit, and in the learn- ed professions. Others are farmers, dili- gent and attentive readers. quiet coun- try gentlemen; given to hospitality. up- right citizens. considerate husbands. and lovely and accomplished wives.
 Few families can count more sons at college. or more daughters at female seminaries. They are zealous supporters of the church. and its enterprises of ben-' evolence. Missions and temperance en- list their active support. Not one in a thousand is incorporate. By sound judg- ment consecrated lives and untiring seal, some have earned the love, confidence

Ask Stay of Pracsadings.

Trenton. N. J., Sept. 15.-Counsel for the Universal Tobacco Company appear ed before Chancellor Magic and made application for a stay of the order made by Vice Chancellor Pitney in the suit of McAlpin against the tobacco com pany. Vice Chancellor Pitney on Tues day last made an order permitting the examination of the banks of the com pany and compelling the company to pro- duce the books. An appeal from this order has been made to the court of errors and appeals. and to-day's appli- cation was for a stay pending the dis position of this appeal. The argument on both sides was largely a repetition of the argument made before Vice Chan cellor Pitney.
