NEW YORK FASHIONS
Spring Millinery, Varied Shapes, Trim
mings, Flowers, Dress Material, Mo-
hair, Checks. Crepes, Embroideries,
New Costumes. Braids

Amid scurrying snow flakes, the fash.
innist ventures forth to see the Spring
styles, and complete satisfaction is the re-
suit, as never before in the history of
Fashions have fabrics or colors possessed
so much charm. Spring millinery dis
closes many destinations. Hats are all
shapes and sizes. Those who are fond OF
wide brins. will find them with both fiat,
high, or medium-high crowns, and in
many new hats the brim is laid over like
all envelope, at sides, back or front, ad-
mitting of very fanciful trimming. For
the young matron or middle-aged person,
tnques and turbans abound-either of
plain straw, molair braid or small fow-
ers.
For the Gay Young Girl
come bewitching little three-cornered
hats, or as variety there is very large
shape in grossamer straw, with inaline
rncbings at the edge Of the .brim, and
flat crown, with wreath of small rose
buds and forget-me-nots. finished by
bows OF colored velvet ribbon, with very
full face trimming at one side, and worn
in slanting position. Taken as whole,
hats are smaller. Toques and turbans of
violets, hyacinths, rose-leaves or lilacs,
with all intermixture of foliage, make
very pretty showing in the shop windows
and it is already certainty that flowers
will be used to greater extent, that any
other trimming.
In Dress Goods
and other departments as well, H. O'Neill
& Co., give authoritative information as
to what will be fashionable. There is al
ways Ia 'fad" regarding some special
material, and for the coming season it is
mohair. Striped, plain or checked, all
are in equal demand. The highest grade
is in blue and green checks, showing Tar
tan colors. Another style has irregular
dashes on plain surface. Black and
white checks of several sizes while not in
competition with those OF mohalr, Will
doubtless have their share of patronage.
French Crepes
and all fabrics on that order, veilings,
voiles, Henriettas and eoliennes occupy
a good position among Spring exhibits.
Panne chiffon broadcloths from their
beautiful silky finish, make most tempt
ing display, and trimmed with appliques
or embroideries, constitute very attrac-
tive costumes.
In silks, checks are very prominent,
both OIL plain or changeable grounds, and
stripes, small Oriental designs,
or dots of various dimensions are the |
principal ornamentations.

The season of resignation is at hand
and the Secretaries of the different gov
ernment departments are in daily receipt
of the designations Of men who preserve
their heads from the axe by stepping
down and out. During the next few
weeks there will be clearing in all the
departments and synchronous with the
stock taking of merchants will come the
inventory of the capable material in the
government bureaus. The cleaning up of
the Post Office Department has set all
example for all other branches of the
government work and wholesale changes
are predicted. The work in the Post
Office Department which has been car
ried,on so actively ever since he death
OF Post Master General Payne goes
steadily on. Four letter carriers in the
Toledo post office were dismissed this
week for alleged connection with fake
mining schemes and thirty others are re-
quired to show cause why they should
not also be dismissed from the service
This is but an indication of the purifi-
cation of the department that is going on
in all parts of the country, aud when Mr..
Cortelyou returns from Europe and takes
charge the process is likely to accelerated
Mr.. Cortelyou though young man has
been tried in many capacities and has
not been found wanting. The public
expects rather an unusual quality of
ability in his administration of the Post
Office Department. With the retirement
of Mr.. Bristow who was the only person
who could have divided credit and
authority with Mr.. Cortelyou in the de-
partment the latter will have free hand
to continue reforms, so ably inaugurated
by Mr.. Bristow. 1t is not often i'm anv
department that there can be found too
many able and honest men but it was
clear that in Mr.. Bristow and Mr.. Curtel-
you the Postoffice was embarrassed with
capable reforms. To Mr.. Wynne felt the
unpleasant task of making Mr.. Bristow's
place uncomfortable and wien Mr.. Cor
telyou takes charge he will fave a clear
field.

Unless early and correct treatment
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs OF feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys ornotices a brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.

organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended

my mind I could not live. ] finally decided
to try Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

LAWYERS IN PHILIPPINES.
Not So Badly Needed as Missionaries
and Other Agencies.

and other Agencies.
Secretary Taft is quoted as express
ing the belief that I'm the civilization
Of a country Ike the Philippines the
increase in the numOer OF native law
yers and of lawyers of all sorts is one
of the first necessity" says a writer
in the Portland Oregonian. This n
doubtedly explains a few Of the diff
culties encountered by Miles Standish
and some Of the other early Americans
who were attempting to spread civil
ization among the New England saw
ages a few hundred years ago, for law
yerS were scarce in those days. Still,
many a pretty a might have
been spoiled had they been there. For
example, had John Smith been a law
yer instead Of a fighter it would have
been unnecessary for Pocahontas to
make a lot of fuss before the old man,
for John would have invoked the aid
of a habeas corpus or hocus pokus and
talked himself out Of the big chiefs
clutches. Every man to his trade.
Some people express the belief that
the Philippines are shy ON mission
aries and still others think that a few
well-trained marksmen with Mauser
rifles might do some very effective civ
ilizing. 1t is a certainty hat there
are Filipinos who respect the soldier
man and at the same time express in
difference to the prayers of the preach
ers or the pleadings Of the lawyers.

UnlCdBU. form a leading considera-
-- ton In business circles at
this time, these entering largely into
plans and commitments for the imme-
date future. Winter wheat Is well
harvested in the northern region, the
yield being heavy, and late advices
show other crops to be making a sea-
sonable advance, corn carrying the
most excellent promise in Illinois. All
indications favor an enormous increase
In financial returns to the farmer.
Demands upon factory output show
more strength this week, retail deal
tngs extended in n~ecessaries, and the
Jobbing branches gained in the volume
OF orders for fall staples, especially in
clothing, footwear, food products and
textile wares, Satisfactory reduction
proceeds in merchandise stocks and
widening buying appears in farm sup
plies. The wholesale district gains in
activity, personal selections showing a
wide variety for both city and country
trade and the bookings included much
for early delivery. Discount taking Is
noted more frequently, while CONNER
cial defaults are slight and collections
generally improving in promptsess.
Primary foodstuffs were in steady
request, but the offerings were liberal
In the grain pits and a lower average
cost was established. The total guam
tity of cereals handled aggregated
7,616,572 bushels, against 6,233, 74S in

SOL Confidence in the crop situation
is reflected by good fall orders and a
volume Of wholesale and retail trade
certainly in excess of a year ago and

goods, which are in eager demand at
high prices, with scarcity of desirable

en- fabrics Is good, confirmation Of this
being found In freer buying by manu-
facturers of raw material at ruling
high prices. Reports from the shoe
and clothing lines and from the lumber,
hardware and other building material
lines are generally satisfactory. A
heavy movement of winter wheat has
helped collections and developed q lit
tie more activity in flour milling in the
Southwest. The iron trade shows some

ity noted in pig iron last week. Other
industries show considerable activity.

An uncnarCeu coral reeI opposite
Spreckelsville was the cause last
Saturday of the American ship
Spartan failing to reach her port
of destination. Captain Flynn was
entirely dependent upon chart,
which, while the fastest published,
fails to show coral reef or
chain of reefs on the windward
coast of Maui, and as a conse-
quence is today without a ship.
The trip was apparently hoodoo
one from the time the ship left
Newcastle bound for Kaanapali,
and what makes the trip doubly
regretable was the fact that Just
three days before sailing, Captain
Flynn took unto himself wife and
she was accompanying her lord
and master in his initial trip to
the Hawaiian Islands.
After rounding Hama point the
pilot signal was displayed and i'm
mediately after finding that the
ship was in shallow water the dis
tress signal was raised. The Maui
which was just going out stood by
waiting, as Captain Parker says,
for call for assistance from Cap
tain Flynn, but as Captain Parker
claims he saw no distress signal he
naturally supposed the ship was
riding at safe anchorage, other
wise some signal asking for assist
ance would have been displayed.
The Peerless was wired for and ar
rived early Sunday morning, but
after working for matter of halfa
day or more returned to Honolulu.
The Leslie Baldwin also stood by
and rendered such assistance as
was possible.
The following account taken
from mate Barmann's log will give
an idea of the trip from the time
of leaving Newcastle:
The ship Spartan" left New
castle on the 18th day of June, 1905,
at about 6-p. m. and proceeded to
sea in tow of tug whose name |
have forgotten. We got outside the
harbor of Newcastle, made all avail
able sails under a stiff westerly
breeze, and steering in an easterly
course soon encountered severe
weather ii. e. strong breezes and
heavy seas) which continued until
we had passed the northern end of
New Zealand, the ship having
rather rough weather of it be-
tween Australia and New Zealand.
Now the weather moderated some
and we commenced to clean ship
by degrees ii. e. tarring down the
mizen, cleaning paintwork, etc.)
we had of course figured on going
as far east as the island of Tahiti
but the wind coming in from the
northward of east we were obliged
to make the best course possible
under circumstances, making it inn
possible for us to weather Christ
mas island which we had to keep off
till at say 3 a. m. on July 21st;
from thence to July 23rd we had
calms and variable winds.
On July 23rd at about II p. m.
in my watch on deck the fore top
sail tie carried away bringing down
the fore lower yard which landed
on the fore yard and staid there.
The upper yard by the way break
ing about half way between the
center and starboard yardarm, but
everything held and no one was
hurt. We secured the yards for
the night there being no moonlight
and therefore impossible to do much
at the time. In the morning we
sent down the yards taking charge
forward and the captain in charge
of the starboard watch aft; sending
down the "Crossjack" yard with a
view to using same for an upper
fore top sail yard. All hands be-
ing on deck from early daylight

PLAN BIG PIER INTO THE LAKE

CHICAGO Aug. 10.-A PROPOSE
tion for building promenade pier
out into the lake at the foot of
Thirty-first street for distance of
nearly mile is under considera-
ton. City officials have protested
vigorously against the construction
of this pier, the plans for which
contemplate an enormous struct-
ure of steel 1000 feet long, from
60 to 300 feet wide, rising twenty
feet above the surface of the war;
ter, and adorned at the end with
a crystal palace containing ball
room for 500 people, a theater
seating 5000, a cafe, yacht club
and observatory.
Lieutenant-Co Colonel w. H. Blk
by, Government engineer, has for
warded his report to the Secretary
of war, but he refused to say today
what recommendations he had
made. Upon the Secretary of
War rests the construction of this
pier.
For the accommodation of people
that do not care to walk the length
of the pier electric carriages will
be provided under the dock and
will convey passengers from the
entrance to the end of the pier in
less than two minutes.

after that / got the order to let go

We now sounded and got about five
fathoms forword, and half four aft
The captain at once made signals
for assistance, &C. e. The ship had
not struck bottom yet. The steam
er MAUI" now came out OF port
and passed close by us, say quarter
OF a mile off, but offered no assis-
tance, and never spoke us, our sig-
mails flying all the time. After
