FROM OUR EXCHANGES.

mexico. people great attention is
paid to the hat of the
masculine visitor. That element OF
grandeeship, as Richard Ford called it,
is taken at once and carefully placed
on chair quite as IL it were person.
It must be treated with respect. A
table is also . proper place for it, but a.
chair is better.
Especially is the top hat distinguishes
by etiquette; it implies that the wearer
is real senior, true cayallero, and it ie
honored with careful treatment. Sec
that it is allowed to repose on chair
safe from casual knocks or jars. In
common parlance, the top hat is "una-
chistera," facetious word, and, speak
ing seriously, it is "un sombrero de-
copa," or ''de copa alta" 1t is an em-
blem OF social rank, and lawyers often
wear it from, morning till night.
The somDrero de paja, or straw hat,
may be of many degrees of fineness.
Sometimes it has gold or silver cord
and is worn by well-to-do rancheros or
great haciendados on proper occasions
Women on horseback in the country.
and formerly in the city, wore hand
some sombrer0s. The sombrero of felt
with it's ornaments, may cost anywhere
from $40 to $1,000. It is the gala hat.
for horseback on days of fiestas, and in
the country regions is affected by the
prosperous. Remember that the hat,
in any form, is something to respect
1t is taken off as sign of regard and
Difference or Of more courtesy.
The sombrero calanes is the Andalu-
sian hat of low crown and broad brim,.
the hat OF the bulIfighter on the street,,
where he receives the homage Of the
admiring popalace, especially of the,
small boy. 1t has its epochs of coming:
into quite general use, and is far more.
picturesque than the staid and prim.
derby. The latter hat is much affected
by the city youth of Mexico, but it is
foreign, alien and an exile. 1t is ridicu-
lous worn on horseback under the,
ardent sun of Mexico or Andalusia.
In old times Mexicans, as we'll as
Spaniard's of social rank, wore the
cooked hat, immortalized in Alacon's
story of the "Sombrero de Tres Picos."
The three cornered hat, properly speak
ing, affected by people in time agone,.
was called the "sombrero de tree
candles"
Boys of the lower classes wear cheap
straw sombreros to school and the
marvel is that they ever distinguish
them, as they are as much alike as peas
in pod.
But to return to our mutton, so to
say-the hat as a symbol of grandee-
} ship. It is nowadays the tall hat, the
"topper," the silk hat, stovepipe, or
what you will. "Gobernadores" wear
it, senators and deputies and lawyers

called upon by Warden Wolfer to
say few words spoke, in part, as
follows:
About three years ago I visited
this institution and told you that
a law had just been passed and
signed restoring citizenship to-
such discharged prisoners as main
tain good records here. A..short|
time ago I received letter from
a man who was in the audi
ence that day, but who is now in
the West, working faithfully and.
| believe, prospecting. He tells me
that he wants me to know his ap-
probation of the law which again
made him q citizen, and assures
me of his determination to live
honestly and uprightly, and I be-
lieve he will do what he says he
will. This is one of the most
pleasant incidents of my admins
tration.
what you men need is hope,
resolution and belief in your own
ability to be law-abiding citizens.
Some day you will be discharged
from prison and if you are resolved
to do what is right, and prove the
Equality of your resolution by your
deeds, you will find plenty of peo-
pie ready and willing to give you
q helping hand. Because you
have failed once is no reason to
abandon hope. Start in afresh,
keep your eyes on the future, and
on this New Years Day resolve
firmly that you will be free men
| from the hour you leave the pris-
on.
'These are, perhaps, too serious
thoughts to introduce into these
festivities. but my opportunities
for addressing you are limited and
II take this occasion to deliver my
message to you, believing that tho
| it is serious, it will not be found
dispiriting."
The Governor spoke quietly, but
with evident sincerity and his
words carried conviction to his
hearers. After the men were in
the dollhouse he went down and
mingled in the crowd, giving all
who SO desired an opportunity Of
meeting and conversing with him

5TR[tT GRADE
CITY AuD TRACTION COMPANY
EACH HAVE PLANS AND IT rs
UP TO THE CITY DADS TO SET
TIE THE NATTER.

Whether the city or the Spokane
Traction company will win out in the
fight over the grading of Washington
street near the subway is a question
The ordinance providing for the grade
has had it's second reading in the city
council, and word was sent down
from that august body to the board
of public works to draw plans and
specifications for the work. The
communication of the council was
complied with and the plans were
drawn up by the city engineer.
The Traction company had other
plans in view, and, considering that
the council had given the ordinance
a second reading only where third
reading should have been had, it pro-
ceeded along plans drawn up by En-
gineer Wiley of the Traction com
pany.
To have the muddle Strengthened
out the matter will have to go be
fore the council again for final pass
age
The board of public works and
representatives of the Traction COM
pany have each maintaine! that the
work should be done according to the
plans of their respective engineers.
The city claims that if the work pro-
ceeds along the lines of the Traction
company Washington street below
the subway will form a little valley
which will be continually filled with
water, especially at this time. of the
year.

STOPS WORK

The long cherished dream of the
citv engineer and the board of public
works to demonstrate that the up
river we'll would be able to furnish
10000 gallons of water per day is
at an end for some time to come.
On account of high water, which
is higher for this time of the year
than at any time since 1894, work
on sinking the well has been discon-
tinued, and in all probability will not
be recommended until the latter part
of June. The river is now flush with
