Matching the Costume.

The fashion of matching every part
of ones costume is being carried to
the extreme limit this season. The
hat must match more exactly than
ever, and many women buy white
straw braid and have it dyed to the
desired tone. Milliners will have the
straw dyed for their customers if de-
sired. Grin and horsehair braids are
easy to color, but some Of the straws
are very difficult, hence expensive.

magazine declares that lovely green's

that have already been so successful

they are with lightweight thin cloths
will reign with supreme elegance.

Affairs of Bank tn Bad Shape.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-It is said that the liabilities of the Pan-American Bank here approximate $45,000. To meet these liabilities assets are said to con- sist of $500 in cash. one trust deed of doubtful value and soma promissory notes. The whole amounts to $3,000.
 Receiver Edwin c. Day has made the discoveries that within the last four months $25.000 had been withdrawn from the Pan-American Bank for the private bank of President William R. Hunt on Wall Street. New York, and that other withdrawals of $9,SO0, 1t is said. were credited to Hunt and a branch institution in the City of Mex leo. The receiver said that if 1t was shown that Hunt was aware of the insolvency of the Pan-American Bank at the time the withdrawals were made criminal proceedings would be promptly instituted.
 Colonel Henry L. Turner, who sev- cred his connection with the Pan- American Bank about month ago, Is said to have been prompted by disap- proval of the methods of sending de- posits to other banks.
 Efforts to find w. & Rector, the cashier. have thus far proved in vain.
 Receiver Day was also disappointed at not finding a list of stockholders whom he had hoped to hold responsible for the banks accounts.

TESTIMONY OF TAFT
SECRETARY BEFORE COMMITTEE
 OF THE HOUSE.
Makes Argument in Favor of the Cur tts Bill Reducing Duty on Sugar and Tobacco from PhiI-
 fnDiueg.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Secretary Taft made an argument today before the House Committee on Ways and Means in favor of the Curtis bill re- ducing the duty on sugar and tobacco from the Philippines. He contended that as the Philippines belonged to the United States, thereby imposing a sa- cred trust on this government 1t is our duty to establish and maintain the best possible conditions there.
 Certainly" he said. "the present status of the islands so far as our re- lattons to them are concerned. will re- main the same throughout the present generation and probably longer"
 With this in view he maintained it would be as just to establish a tariff between the States of Ohio and Penn sylvania as between the United States and the Philippines. Ultimate free between the islands and the United States.
 Secretary Taft asserted warmly that Congress had already enacted a meas ure which was eminently unfair to the islands. You have declared that In 1906. American bottoms shall carry everything that is shipped between the United States and the Philippines, both ways. Is it possible that the House of UT oSudIS CdH impose on these people domestic policy with reference to the carrying of goods and yet withhold the opportunity of mar kets for those goods?
 "I am not willing to admit that. do not think Congress will be so un- just and these people here. represent ing special interests. may as well put their houses in order. The American people are not going to allow inter. ference with the policy that Is going to do this country honor |"
 This policy, Secretary Taft said, was settled at the last electionh The Dem ocratic members of the Committea might not agree with him on this point. .f
 MT. Williams (Miss.) the minority floor leader, asked the Secretary if it was not the Republican policy to give the islands ultimate independence.
 The Secretary affirmed this. stating that such would be the case when the people of the islands were capable of self-Kovernment. "Self-government as the American understands 1t. or as the Filipino understands it?" asked Mir. Williams.
 T doubt if they ever reach the self governing capacity of the Americans" the Secretary replied.
 Well" asserted Mir. Williams.

Kelvin, Sir William Ramsay and Nam sen ,the explorer as having lectured in Berlin. Professor Max Mueller. Pro- lessor Harnack points out, came to Strasburg to give lectures while retain ing his Oxford professorship And adds that Professor Gregory of Leipsig is an American by birth and professor of a German university and has given course of lectures in America.
 The simplest means to inaugurate professional interchange, according to Professor Harnack, is to invite distin- gutshed professors from abroad to give courses of four to eight lectures. But this is not enough. The best thing if It can be done is to call for an entire six months tour, or even longer. In doing so, of course. no country will import professor when it has a better one at home: 1t will always be best to let the students hear the language of the literature and economic and social affairs of another country from a pro- lessor of the country. No amount of industrious study will give German stu dents the insight into these things that he can get from a native of America. It Is of all the civilized states the most remote from Germany in space, but in intellectually the nearest and most closely related.
 Tn exchanging professors" continues Professor Harnack, i've think in the first instance of America. Harvard and Berlin are already negotiating a plan and will have to begin with caution and within modest limits. If the idea Is sound. 1t will then grow of itself. Difficulties will, have to be overcome. like the Six months tours beginning and ending at different dates and no university will readily be willing to let favorite professor off for even short time. But. the difficulties are not insurmountable. Distance hardly counts any longer. The conviction that inter- national duties have arisen for men of science will carry the plan to success and this will aid in disseminating leav- ening, and strengthening the bond of fraternity"

AN EXCHANGE OF PROFESSORS.
Kaiser Williams Plan to Re Laid Be-

hnlser Williams Plan to He Laid Be-
 fore the Pre- 6dent.
 Berlin. Jan. 2S.-Emperor William has directed the Ambassador to the United States. Baron Speck von Stern- berg, to lay before President Roosevelt in official form the suggestion for an exchange of professors between Ger many and America that the Emperor mentioned to Ambassador Tower on New Years day. The Ambassador who sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. January 25. only carries an ont line of the project which the President will be asked to approve and cooperate in making a workable plan. The Elm peror has invited several German pro- fessors to present him with their ideas on the subject.
 Prof. Adolph Harnack, one of those invited. writes In The Preusssche Jahrbeucher, that the great scholars of the middle ages were not tied fast to any one country. They lectured at Ma ples. Cologne. Paris, Cologne and OK ford. and their students followed them. Professor Harnack explains the advant- age to students of spending part of their period of study abroad. An ex- change of students, he adds. necessa- rily suggests an exchange of profes- sors.. Only a few students can now have the advantage of study abroad, but larger number will get that advant- age when the professor himself goes abroad to lecture. He refers to Lord

 Commissioner Sargent.


 Commissioner Sargent.
 Washington. Jan. 28.--An imense, al- most startling increase in immigration is shown by the figures for the month of December which have been compiled by Commissioner Sargent.
 The increase in the number of im- migrants from both Russia and Aus tria-Hungary is particularly notewor- thy. In December, 1902, the number of migrants arriving from Russia was 10,1s4; in December. 1903. 10,431, and in December, 1904 15,992. Compared with December. 1902. the last month shows an increase of 57 per cent. in immigration from Russia. The immi- grafton from Austria Hungary in De- cember shows an increase of 12,73S over that of December. 1903. aggre- gating 23,433. From the whole of Eu- rope the immigration last December was 5S,s26, an increase of 17,57S over December year ago.
 The figures for last December are regarded by immigration officials as remarkable, as usually immigration during December, January and Febru- ary is comparatively light.
