BABY HAT THE LATEST.
One of the Styles That Is Now i'm a Fair Way to Become
 Popular.

The type of women who look we'll in baby hat is having her innings just now as never before. She takes to the country bunch of washable hats and sunbonnets, which are exactly like baby things in all but, their size, and in fact she gets them in the baby de- partments of the stores, says the Chi cago Tribune.
 There is new figure golf hat which, except for it's big black taffeta bow, is like the little pink or blue Marseilles chapeau that baby girls have worn for so long, and which is much more be- coming than the cap of which it is the evolution. Then there is a sunbou- net made without any curtain in the back and with a great, scoopy brim to fit over hair la pompaGour, which is really after all just a little Kate Greenaway bonnet. How many years ago grown-ups wore Kate Greenaway bopnets one summer before to match their gowns.
 All the bridesmaids hats this year are being made after the elaborate models of imported baby millinery, and the big affairs that are worn by  men for wear at country lawn parties. So the woman whose small son has this luxurious kind of Sunday head gear can borrow it when occasion de mands with the satisfaction of know ing that if she can wear it at all it is the most fetching thing she puts on.
 A Chicago girl who has treasured all of her cotillon hats of last winter to take with her to small town says one needs more kinds of hats for summer visit to little place than are needed all of the year at home.
 "Talk about their not wearing hats in the country" she says. "The first thing you get is an invitation to a porch party or croquet party with a, notice down in the left hand corner to wear a tissue paper hat; CT else you are invited to hayrack ride and told to wear a sunbonnet. ..... .

/ Russfa,s Capital.

St. Petersburg, which has just cefe- brated it's two hundredth birthday, was, in the first decade of its existence. inhabited chiefly by soldiers, officials, and peasants forcibly transplanted. The nobles were obliged to build houses and leave Moscow to live in them. Foreigners were particularly welcome, and received immunity from
 taxes. The present population is esti- mated at nearly 1,5oo,ooo. Rents are twice as high as in Berlin or Paris. Transportation is still by means of slow horse cars, even in the principal streets. --L-- .---.

The Giants of Pafaw0uSa.

Ever since the time of Magellan, travellers have spoken of the Tehu- elches of Patagonia as giants. Re- cent measurements show that the men average in height five feet Il inches, khe women five feet seven inches.

the modern and sorelys needed extern
sions and applications of the immortal
principles laid down by Jefferson, Jack
son and other great leaders of the past.
The meaning of the response is sub
ieet to no doubt. The immense ma
jority for Herrick in Ohio means not
that Ohio is hopelessly and forever Re-
publican and by no means that John-
son was distasteful to the people; but
1t does mean that they rejected the radt-
cal programme Ittis, the final and con-
elusive act in an experience now ex-
tending over many years, which an
nounces the refusal of the American
people and of a majority of Democrats
to follow the more radical leaders into
what are regarded as new and danger
Gus paths.
There has been no lesson at once 50
striking and so final in the political
history of this country as the ONO
election. Regretting the defeat there,
experienced Democracy may well re-
ioice in the suggestion and the direc-
ton which it carries for the future, and
which the party will undoubtedly fol-
low.

home publishes book on Americans
as They Really Are" but here is
writer who has discovered an even less
arduous method Of collecting data. The
transplanted Americans pass in review
istics as they reveal he feels able to
judge of the rank and file of our Ameri-
can women. Their husbands are
beasts of burden" he declares. s.They
devote all their days to money making,
while the women devote theirs to pleas
ure" His painful deduction is that
unless American civilization alters, it
would seem to be doomed.
1t is to be regretted that the writer
did not take the trouble to study
American civilization in America be-
fore he published his scathing denun-
citation of American women. 1t is not
surprising that in his own country he
has met an abnormal type. His fault
lies in mistaking it for the general
type. The idle rich of this country are
very much like the little child who begs
plaintiveIy for some one to come and
play with it. Finding that few have
the leisure or the disposition, they go
abroad. Doubtless they are not very
dignified lot, these voluntary exiles.
The pity is that they should be taken
to represent the rank and file at home.
AS for the American woman at home,
she needs no apology. While her type
survives-and so far it has given no
indication of decreasing-there is no
need to worry over the future of Amer
lean civilization. In England the Amer
lean woman is exclaimed over because
of her beauty and her grace. In America
she is appreciated for her capabilities,
for her ome-makirg qualities, for her
patriotism and for her common sense.
When she wanders abroad, she is too
modest to court publicity, too cosmo-
po1itan to attract attention. This is
doubtless the reason why the writer
has only the abnormal type to dissect.
Because it is abnormal it is much In
the public eye.

AN ABNORMAL TYPE.

It is always unsafe to generalize con-
corning women. 1t is particularly I'M
safe to make the women of one class
the basis for such generalization. An
Englishnan has just made this mis-
take, and he has published the results
Of his generalization in an English pc
rodical. In the course of his article he
says: 1--WE have many opportunities
of studying the American woman, for
she has undertaken to annex as much
of Europe as practicable and has sue
ceeded very fairly" Studying the
transplanted product at close range. he
arrives at the conclusion that the
American woman is all abnormal type;
that she is anarchical, that she is de-
liberately turning her back on natural
laws.

URGES GOVERNMENT
TO SAVE Big TREES

Parks Now Being Sold by
Private Owners.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. SIN
his annual report Capt. Charles Young,
acting superintendent of Sequoia and
Gen. Grant national parks, of Cali
fornia in which many giant trees are
located, urges the acquisition by the
government of the land in those parks,
Which is owned by private individuals
In Sequoia park there are many large
tracts thus owned, and after waiting
In vain for years for the government
to purchase their property, the own
ers are beginning to sell off the large
timber.
Many of them are tired of waiting"

grew close to the county road the own

so that where once was fine forest of
these magnificent giants there is now
but devastation and ruin in the shape
OF stumps and sawdust piles on either
side of the high road. 1t is but just
to the owners and for the best interest
of the government that the purchase OF
these patented lands within the park
limits be authorized by congress il
the parks are to be continued"
He says the lands can be secured for
game is increasing. Maj. John Pitch
er's report on Yellowstone park is de-
voted largely to the condition of the
game in that preserve. He recommends
that provisions be made for feeding
game in the park in the winter. The
danger of loss by starvation, he says,
is increasing yearly, owing to the fact
that the country around the park is
settling up, thus limiting the range.
He thinks it would not be a difficult
matter TO feed the antelope and sheep.
as their winter range is close to Fort
Yellowstone. He places the number
of antelope in the park at about 1000.
The mountain sheep have increased
considerably in numbers during the
past year, and there are now over 100
in the park.
The bear seem to be about as nu-
merous as they were last year. They
have done no harm to anyone during
the past season.
The deer seem to be increasing more
rapidly than any other game i'm the
park; at least they are becoming tam
er and more fearless than any other
species. The new buffalo herd, which
is under the immediate charge of G. j.
Jones, is doing exceedingly well, but
the increase in the herd this year was
not as great as was hoped for.
Maj. Pitcher says it is of the great
est Importance that the boundary lines
of the park, in addition to being sur
veyed should be so thoroughly well
marked as to render it impossible for
anyone TO cross the line without know
ing that he has entered the reserva-
ton.

NO SOUND REASON AGAINST 1T.

The proposed repeal of those federal
land acts which have shown themselves
most open to fraudulent abuse will, of
course, be opposed. The opposition has
hitherto been strong enough to pre-
vent this great and desirable reform.
1t bases itself now upon the assump-
tion that repeal will prevent the ac-
emulation of any future fund for
irrigating purposes. Our special wire
from Washington indicates that the
friends of such menstrous legislative
abuses as the desert land and stone
acts may still prevail.
If the argument advanced be untrue,
congress should go ahead with the
changes asked for. If the National r.
rigation association is in favor Of them.
it is not likely that they would greatly
damage irrigation prospects. Even if
this argument were true, however, it
would not be valid. Why should we
encourage and perpetuate swindles in
order that, with the price of swindling,
we may confer some benefits on future
generations? Of course it is not true
at all. The government gets very lit
tie benefit and it's funds are very little
augmented by those public land laws
which are most frequently perverted
from their alleged purpose. It's cash re-
sources would scarcely know the diff
ference from this repeal, while its
stock of public lands would cease
to be diverted TO spectators and syn
dictates for mere song.
The time has come when public lands
should be conveyed to private holders
only upon the most rigorous conditions,
and these most strictly enforced Every
acre that we have left should be re-
served for actual settlers. The title to
it should pass only to such settlers
after they have complied with all the
requirements of the homestead act, and
maintained their actual residence upon
it during the stipulated term If we do
not begin to follow a policy of strict
limitation presently, we shall find later
that our splendid irrigation scheme is
baked of it's purpose and ends only in
a huge scandal. For the same eva
sion of the law that now renders nuga-
tory most of our public land laws will be
resorted to to convey these irrigated
lands, reclaimed at such vast expense
to the people, to the same class of UNI
worthy owners
There should be no delay in reforming
our land law system, in safeguarding
the opportunities it offers to bona fida
settlers and in Putting an end to the
various systems of fraud which keen
the legal department of the country
fairly busy, and which find their oppor-
tunity in the various loosely drawn and
still more loosely administered land
laws upon our statute books.

Man of MaIodorous Career.

The passing of Perry Heath is one
of the healthful- signs of the times.
AS we'll as any other politician, he rep
resented, and still represents, regime
mental affairs. His career is malodor-
Gus and he himself is the ripe product
Of the spoils system supplemented by
the system of loot. He belongs to that
class of grafters which is easily the
the most dangerous to the public well
fare. Because of what he represented
he came to be what he was-one Of the
most repelling figures in American pol
tiles. In passing from public view he
awakens only sense of contempt quite
untouched by even the suggestion of

"The White Slave" at the Grand.

"The White Slave" which was pre-
scented at the Grand last night, is a
good melodrama despite the ridiculous
horseplay substituted for comedy. The
story is consistent, has plenty of ac-
ton and is full OF heart interest There
are thrilling scenes, pathetic and ten
der scenes and opportunities for natur-
al comedy.
The play is in six acts and consumes
moe time than it should, owing to the
dragging of several silly scenes sup
posed to be funny. The story of the
drama is familiar to most of the pat
ronS of the Grand. 1t is a tale of the
South before the war. In some re-
spects it is not unlike Uncle Toms
Cabin" There are the plantations and
the negro slaves singing their melo-
dies. There is planter of the Simon
Legree" type, lawyer of the Marks"
variety, only worse and, instead of es-
Gaping across the ice, Lisa" the white
slave, fees with her lover on a steam
boat, which takes fire and blows up.
Following this there is a clever scene
in which the hero and his sweetheart
float down the river in a realistic rain
storm, clinging to the burning wreck
age
The company is equal to the occa-
sion. Helen Collier as Lisa, the White
Slave" is a trifle monotonous as to
voice, but otherwise is capable. A very
consistent and altogether good por-
trayal of the planter villain is con-
tributed by Thomas Garrick. David
M. Hartford looks the part of the hero,
and acts it as we'll. William Christie
Miller looks like a good actor in poor
part, as most of the aforementioned
horsepIay is performed by him in the
role of the lawyer. : But it may not be
his fault. Jessie Burnette and Neil
Gray as Nance and Glen, two old
colored folks, We're source of amuse-
ment. The real colored folks, who play
the field hands, are capable, but are in
evidence too much. The scenery Is
good. ~

Contemporary Comment
Moral HeroessAlways in Demand.


While the people are often apathetic
and careless in the exercise of their
electoral prerogatives as to the real
rulers of the state, they are never in
different to champion Of sterling fiber
who takes the field as a determined
and sincere crusader against political
immortality. History has again and
again exemplifed the popularity OF
such moral heroes They have been
carried on the resistless waves of pub
lie acclaim to the highest places with
in the gift of the people. What the
American people especially detest is a
coward or time-serve or trimmer.
What they admire more than anything
else and delight to honor is man so
destitute of fear and so distinctly in
imical to all manifestations Of dis
honesty as to make him the active
foe of every abuse that can vitiate
popular government There is never
moment when there is not a chance
for a strong, single-hearted man to
achieve distinction by holding up for
public decency and insisting upon it's
practice in the management of public
affairs.-Detroit Free Press.

The most futile of all tariff sugges-
lions is that made by the National AS

1T shall be deemed wise to revise the
tariff the changes shall be advised by
business men and that there should be
permanent non partisan tariff COM
mission to propose changes. Whenever
the tariff is changed it is on the advice
of business men; pretty uniformly
those who viii profit from higher du-
ties. Some business men want more
duties and sofnetwan less. AS long as

over the tariff non-partisan tariff

A TELLING FACT.

The regular news dispatches from
New York city state that it is wide
open," so far as pool rooms and gam
bling houses are concerned. The re-
port based on Information in the dis
trict attorneys office shows that over
800 pool rooms are in active operation
in the borough of Manhattan. While
some Of these have sprung up like
mushrooms since the recent election,
the great majority of them have been
running all the time under Mayor Low
If our friends who are mystified by the
apparent devil worship, as they regard
it, of majority of the people of New
York will consider this fact for mo-
ment, the results of the recent election
will not seem so mysterious to them.
The people who put Mayor Low into
Office gave him a commission first and
foremost. to put an end to all this sort
of thing. They ordered him to wipe
out, along swithzdesss describable fnfa-
mics, the pool room and the policy
shop. He had ready to his hand the
most efficient assistant ever given to a
municipal executive in the shape of
Mr.. Jerome This man is a terror to
evil-doers. He knew the location of al
most every illicit establishment in the
city, his agents were everywhere, and
he was seldom caught without COM
plete and convincing evidence against
offenders With such a man, the weak
| est and most obtuse of mayors should
have had no difficulty in cleansing the
foul places of the city.
For two years Mayor Low has con-
spicuously failed to discharge this first
duty laid upon him. 1t is for this rea-
son more than any other that Mr..
attorney, who carried the brunt of the
campaign when Low was elected and
cid, all the hard fighting and was main
ly responsible for the victory, insisted
that the promises made in that cam
paign should be kept by wiping out
these resorts of crime. Why Mr.. Low
could not or would not do it is for him
to explain. That he did not do it is a
fact. Everyone visiting New York re-
Gently has been convinced that vice has
been made very little less shameless
| and not less widely distributed.
The people of New York city justly
prefer the old system to this. They are
| justly indignant at the betrayal of their
gambling are to flourish, it is better
that they should do so openly than un-
| der SNUG pretenses that such prac-
tees have been not only prohibited but
destroyed. If the criminal and the
| CRATER are to be tolerated, let it be
done in the open and not behind Il
! barricaded door placarded conspicu-
ously with the word reform OF
| course, when the so-called fusion or
ganization surrendered itself entirely
to Senator Plat and became a part of
the Republican machine, the success of
the Low ticket became impossible.
Even without that however, the people
of New. York city would never have
consented to re-elect a man whose adj
ministration is a record of broken
promises and of pretenses that are
| laughed to scorn by the facts.
