 You don't see the tulle neck bow
 this spring. The rather prim ruching has taken its place.
 The Easter shirt waist is a dream of
 beauty. It Is sheer and finely wrought l with tucks and medallions of embroid- | cry. The collar is fastened to 1t, as was the case last year Instead of a bow of some sort a chain is worn with pendant of amethyst or fresh water pearls.
 The chain, with its pendant, has come to be recognized as smarter than
 the brooch. For one thing, it leaves no horrid pin marks, which Is some- thing to be considered in the white waist.
 soft old rose shade with which one has mental visions of a hat covered
 with pink roses is the prettiest thing for general utility suit All kinds of checks are much to the fore. You
 might almost call this a checkered | Easter. Of course there are black and
 white checked materials for tailor
 mades. but there are also the more dressy materials. such as checked voiles, which are made over lustrous silk. They are so thin as to be highly
 transparent and are further decorated
 with large embroidered dots. Sometimes a thin yelling is put over
 a checked taffeta lining, and in this
 manner a two toned effect is obtained. | For instance, I saw a very smart old
 rose chiffon voile made up over a
 black and white taffeta. The voile
 was cut out in places to show the taf-
 feta beneath. and then 1t was outlined with narrow black silk braid in a
 charming effect suggesting embroid- cry.
 The great thing in dress, as in ev-
 erything else, Is to look ahead and de-
 eide exactly what you need. The
 foolish woman keeps buying a little here and a little there without the
 slightest forethought. The result is
 that she either runs short or else she
 gets the wrong things.
 It's the same way in furnishing a
 house. You should plan 1t out before l hand. Try to have the contents of each
 roo mmatch and weed out all super | fluities.
 Some women hang on to old things

LLOYD BEGINS WORK
SELMA MAN UNITED STATES COM
 MISSIONER.
Jurisdiction Over Counties of Dallas, Wilcox, Marengo, Perry and Hale.
 Previously Justice of Peace.

Selma, April 15.-(Special. )-Isaac b. Lloyd recently appointed United States Commissioner of the Northern District of the Southern Division. has signed his oath of office and entered into the discharge of his duties
 Ills Jurisdiction will be over the counties of Dallas, Wilcox, Marengo. Perry and Hale. Commissioner Lloyd, who is a Justice of the Peace in Selma, received the unanimous endorsement of the Selma bar and very complimentary endorsement from members of the bars of the five counties. He was appointed by Judge Harry T. Toulmin, of Mobile.
 Commissioner Lloyd has lived in Selma nearly twenty-two years. He was born in 1853 in Coosa County. moving to Green vile, where he was reared. The first two years of his residence in Selma he clerked in a grocery store stepping from that into a store of his own. which he conducted

| dignified, comparison with it Is not tC | be found everywhere. But Judge Mil. Ter Is new judge. The verdict is jus being rendered. And there may bt something more in him than in some other Alabama judges. It looks like there is.
 It looks like Judge Miller is going to do wonders. It looks like he is going to spring into real prominence like no other new judge" has ever done
 Judge Miller is saving the people money.
 Judge Miller is doing more than | many judges of many States to up- hold. if not to e-establish. the proper | respect for and allegiance to the digni- ty of the court.
 Judge Miller is. as far as his jurls- diction goes, upholding the laws of Alabama.
 Able and digniied. stern and fear less, Judge Miller Is making one of the most valuable judges the Fourth Circuit. if not the State of Alabama, ever saw.
 Real popularity. real prominence and general commendation are going his way. He is making good.
 Like Governor Johnson, of Minneso- E Miller started out to do. He didn't start out like Governor Johnson. with the handicap of a torn alpacca coat and limited common school education He had opportunities and he took ad- vantage of them. It looks like he has succeeded pretty well in making good"
 Independence and fearlessness with fairness always in the background is that which is making Judge Miller one of the most popular men in the State.
 The people like a man who Is not afraid to carry out his promises to them against odds. They grow to like a man who in place and power gives them to understand that they must bear the brunt of his fair dealing because they put him there to do his duty.
 That's the kind of man Judge Miller is. He may be a little hard on the lardy juryman and witnesses and lit tie impatient with the procrastinating lawyer but he is fair. And he does 1t for the peoples sake. He thinks a man should answer the summons of the tribunal of his county promptly even If at much hazard. He thinks the county should not be burdened and plunged into debt because of an absent witness or juror or an unprepared law yer.
 IieNeHllon IS better than cure, and Judge Miller Is taking the primary steps toward preventing the counties of tho Fourth Circuit from sustaining unnecessary debt on these accounts.
 When juror or a witness after be- ing properly summoned and subpoe- naed, fails to get to Judge Miller's court on ttime, Judge Miller fines him heavily Their excuses must be mighty teaslole or they must pay the fines.
 When a spectator leaves Judge Mil ler's court and slams the door Judge Miller sends a deputy after him and brings him before the bar to pay a days wages or a good commission sometimes it's a dollar. sometimes it's five dollars.
 Nor does Judge Miller stand for a loud

Hon. B. M. Miller, Judge OfFourth Circuit Court

The other day down in middle Ala bama man walked into a court room. Reaching his right hand deep into his trousers pocket he pulled. out a roll of bills. He counted them slow ly and nervously. When he finished clerk. He sighed, while the clerk wrote something in the form of re- ceipt.
 This done he turned to sympathizing g by-stander. He said:
 John. it was mighty hard to have fork out that $10o just for being a little late getting to court. The old lady and me will have to sort O econ omize to catch up now. But I don't grudge the money when it comes down to brass tacks. That judge is right. He's a peach"
 T don't know if he ain't right" re- piled the by-stander. That judge is a peach"
 And the two men walked away arm in arm.
 When you hear two men say of a judge presiding over a high court He's a peach" you can just put 1t down that he Is some kind of juicy proposition. Especially if one of the auditors has just forked out $100 for being a little late reaching court.
 And that's just the kind of verdict that's being passed on the Hon. B. M Miller. Judge of the Fourth Circuit Court of Alabama.
 The Fourth Circuit Is proud of him and the verdict that the great jury IS rendering is favorable in the highest degree. From present indications it couldn't be more favorable.
 It cannot be more forcibly or elo- quently expressed than in the slang phrase of the tardy juror who had to pay dearly for his tardiness:
 He's a peach'
 Judge Miller is from Camden. down in Wilcox County. He is proud of 1t. Camden is proud of 1t. Wilcox County is proud of 1t. Some day all of Ala bama will be as proud to proclaim Judge Miller "a son. as Camden and Wilcox County are now.
 The reason is this:
 Miller is a conscientious, scrupulous, dignified, stern and fearless judge.
 So are many others. and Alabama Is proud of its conscientious, scrupulous, dignified, stern and fearless judges. It is said that no State of the forty eight can boast of such a Judiciary as Ala bama. Able and learned, fearless and

sfny French toque of pale gray straw and a two tone white tipped ostrich plume, a gray costume is perhaps the richest for daytime.
 Of course with the gray costume you must not forget to wear a pale gray gaiter if you want to be the Easter girl up to date. Caters to match the suit seem to be the latest edict of Dame Fashion.
 In choosing your millinery do not make the mistake of buying large hats. Of course some will be woYn- they always are--but the tiny, much curled shapes are the latest mode. The other day at a matinee I saw a well known prima donna sitting in a box, and she wore one of those small hats curled saucily away from the piquant face It was of that new shade of mulberry red, and the space under the brim was filled in with tiny red rose buds and their fine foliage. Last Easter there was a marked attempt to introduce the high crown, but it did not take, and this year we see the flat effects so dear to our hearts. In fact,

With Easter in the air, of course the only thing to talk about is clothes. Unhappy the woman who is short of funds this year, for truly the fashions are charming!
 You will notice particularly the cool looking green frocks. whether of silk or cloth, trimmed with stitchings of white or paler green and two toned embroid- cries.

talker or a loud whisperer. One man was fined a dollar by him not long ago for laughing in an ante-room in the | courthouse at what he considered a good joke. Judge Miller turned the joke. but he did 1t seriously.
 And after all it Is a serious thing. Some persons don't like to respect the law or the court. Luckily they are few. If the majority were that way a court room scene would be similar to that in cotton exchange. But there arc those few everywhere who have to be made to respect the dignity and the solemnity of the court. Wherever Judge Miller goes he compels the prop CT respect.
 There are some persons who say that Judge Miller is too strict. They say he is an extremist. and that he will get the bar and the people down on him." They say he is bluffing and playing to the gallery He'll be like the rest of them after awhile. they argue. Sometimes such talk as that comes out all right in the end. It's like the old adage that you cant down a political monopoly. because when you put in a reformer ne invariably turns out ringster and often grafter. But that's not popular opinion about Judge Miller and it appears ground
 
 Judge Miller that Judge Miller is a grand-stand player. He'll resent what he considers an insult to a brave, cour- ageous statesman.
 The disposition of great many of us to criticize too soon is too preva- lent. Where a man fails to make good 1t is all right, but let him fail first.  Judge Miller is not the only man receiving the plaudits of the Fourth Circuit He has a very able as well as a very fearless co-partner in his court The Fourth Circuit is as proud of it's new solicitor as it is of its new judge. That fellow Thompson ain't going to stand for any foolishness, said a man suspected of knowing something about a blind tiger" as he left the grand jury room the other day.
 And that about sizes 1t up. Solici- tor Thompson appears to be just about the most competent successor to Colo mel w w. Quarles, the Fourth Circuit could have found. They got him over there at Centerville and if you ever go to Centerville they will make that fact known to you pretty quick.
 The other week twenty cases were tried in the Fourth Circuit Court The end of the week the docket showed sixteen convictions and four acquit- tals.
 Solicitor Thompson did that. He worked hard and overcame the handi- cap that confronts all prosecuting att torneys.
 At that rate 1t looks like law-break- CTS in the Fourth Circuit will soon be far and few between.

 That's where she Is an idiot
 Why keep things just because you cant sell them for more than a third of the original price when they are of no earthly use to you and never will be? I know a woman who recently sold three pieces of furniture and re- ceived in return one piece. Her neigh bors-good saving souls-cried out aghast. They would have kept the things forever rather than sell them for so little. But she sold three oak pieces of which she had duplicates in mahogany, and the piece she got in return was a birdseye maple chiffonier to match her dressing table. She didn't have any use for the oak pieces She did have use for the birdseye maple chiffonier. Now, was she foolish or wise?

HANNAH ELIAS
TALKS FREELY
Negress on the Stand Tells
of the Many Gifts Made
to Her by John r. Platt
SAYS HE WAS GENEROUS
Recites Story of Her Low
Life and Asserts Million
aire Gave Voluntarily

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Hannah Elias,
the negress whom aged John r. Platt
Is suing to compel her to return $685.
600 which he claims she extorted from
him during an acquaintance OF twenty
years, to-day told the story Of her life
before Justice O'Gorman in the Supreme
Court. where the suit Is on trial. It was
an extraordinary tale of sudden eleva-
ton from the lowest and most vicious
surroundings to position Of affiuence,
where money was rained upon her and
where she had everything that great
wealth could provide.
She declared that she had nothing
TO conceal and insisted that every dol
lar that Platt gave her had been given
voluntarily. She believed, she said,
that she was under no obligation to re-
turn any part of the money which she
now possesses. How much money
Platt gave her she could not say. even
approximately, as she never kept any
account Of his gifts, which were made
In large sums at frequent intervals dur
ing their long acquaintance. Platt was
very generous. even from the first, she
said, but he became more so after the
death of his wife in 1898. He told her
at that time that he wanted to provide
for her handsomely and explained that
if he mentioned her in his will a con-
test might result.
Mrs. Elias apparently made no at
tempt to cover the details of her early
life. She admitted that she had served
two terms In prison. one in PhiladeI-
phia for larceny and the other in this
city for disorderly conduct.
It developed during the examina-
tions of witnesses to-day that Mrs.
Elias had distributed her easily ac-
Quired wealth with a free hand among
those who had been of assistance to
her Lawyer C. Nanz said she had
paid him $4,000 in fees: Lawyer Wash
ington Braun secured from her more
than $4,000 in fees. Other witnesses
fold of large sums paid for services Of
comparatively trifiing character.
When the defense rested a lawyer
representing the banks, that were
brought into the case by an order Of
court directing them not to dispose Of
moneys in their possession belonging
to Mrs. Elias, asked for dismissal of
the order and the Judge granted the
request
