Paper BOnnets Made To
Resemble the Real THING.

Do not imagine because you see a
string of pretty chorus girls tripping
across the stage with gorgeous mats to
match their costumes, reappearing a
few moments later, with another lot OF
brilliant headgear to match other Gus
tones and repeating this several times
during the performance, that the mill
liner is making any money out of it. |
It's all crepe paper.
Ii the manager of any spectacular
show had to provide real milliner's |
hats for his chorus girls to match their |
multitudinous changes he would have
the sheriff at his box Office Ii the
leading lady was obliged to provide
herself with bona file plush, silk and
feathers, as constructed by the millin
er, every time she came on the scene,
she would not have much money in her
purse at the end of the season. The
man who Invented paper hats has
changed all that.
| Thousands of paper bats for use on
the stage are manufactured in New
| York every year. They are sent all
over the country. The only danger to
them is from water and fire. Actres
ses do not, as rule, go out in the rain
in their stage costumes, Electric
bulbs with wire screens around them
have taken the place Of gas in every
theatre worth mentioning. An actress
can no more set fire to her hat with an
electric bulb than stage hand can
light his pipe with it.
But it is not only the actress that
takes advantage of the paper hat
They are worn on the street by women
of fashion. For small sum the up to-
date girl may have a hat to match ev-
cry shirt waist if she wants to. The
only thing she has to do is to keep an
, eye on the weather man. The cheap
/ est paper hat made is the old-fashi0n-
ed sun bonnet, which costs rs cents.
; The most expensive paper hat is not
more than $3.50. The same hat manu-
) factured under the ordinary plocess of
: millinery would cost from $25 to $50.
The paper hats are built on frames just
| the same as the others. Much more
: effective ordinations in flowers can
be made with paper than with silks and
! ribbons.
/ Five feet away it is difficult to tell a
g paper hat from miIliner's hat. Last
! February, when Mrs Cornelius Wander
bilt gave a coming out ball for her
t daughter, Gladys, paper hats costing
l from 81 to So each were given away as

A Rare Feat in Surgery.

T. Earle, jr., of st. Joseph's Hospital
DR.. Eugene Lee Crutchlield, also of tht
hospital staff, has a cavity in his right
side through which communication has
been established between the outside
world and his alimentary canal by way
of the appendix, which has been sewed
fast to the cavity and the end cut off.
The operation is called appendices.
tony, or Wier's operation. 1t is said
never to have been performed in Balti-
more before since its proposal by DR..
Wier in New York about two years
ago, and DR.. Crutchfield is one of few
persons in the United States who has
thus been operated on.
AS result, DIR. Crutchfield is believ
ed to be in no danger of appendicitis,
as he can look down into his appendix
whenever he wants to, and if it con
tains any foreign substance, which is
said to be the cause of appendicitis, he
can easily remove it.
That one of the results of the opera
tiOn is the prevention OF appendicitis
is only an incident. The main reason
for performing iJ was an attempt TO
cure liberation, from which DR.. Crutch-
field has suffered several years. The
operation was performed July 81 in the
presence OF II surgeons al d physicians,
and the Indications are that a perma
nent cure will be Effected BaitlmO e

Why Do Americans Succeed /?

Why do we lead all the nations of the
earth in prosperity, happiness and in
dividual contentment
Why are we, as people. regarded as
an invincibIe power of impregnable
strength
And why do we compel the admira-
tiou of the whole world-at times
grudgingly given. but given, anyhow !?
Itls because we are free and inde-
pendent ln the truest meaning of the
words.
We think for ourselves, act for our
selves, govern ourselves more than the
people of any other nation.
We are absolutely self-reliant, ma
tional trait that renders us tindepend-
ent of all other nations. Independence
is the Keynote of our supremacy.

ate the fact that Americans of both

GREAT SMOKERS OF EUROPE
HoiIanGers Lead Among the People of the
North.

The Hollanders are perhaps, of al
the northern peoples, those who smoke
the most. The humidity of theil
climate makes it almost necessity
and the very moderate cost of tobacco
renders it accessible to all.
To show how deeply rooted is the
habit, it is thought to say that the
boatmen of the trekschutt. the aquat-
ic diligence of Holland, measures dis
tances by smoke. From here, they say,
t. such and such place it is not so
many miles, but so many pipes.
When you enter a home, after the
first salutations, your host offers you
a cigar; when You take leave be hands
you another, and often insists upon
filling your cigar case.
In the streets you see persons light
ing a fresh cigar with the burning
stump of the last one, without pausing
in their walk and with the busy air of
people we do not wish to lose mo
ment of time or a mouthful of smoke.
Many go to sleep with pipe in mouth,
relight it if they wake in the night,
and again in the morning before they
step out of bed.
Itreally does appear that smoking
IS for the Dutchman a necessary vital
function.
Many people think that 80 much
smoke dulls the intelligence. Never
,hel less, if there be a people, as Esquiroz
ustly observes, whose intellect Is of the
dearest and highest precision, it is the
Dutch people.
Smoke, " said HolIander, ''ls our
econd breath" Another defined the |
igar as the sixth finger of the hand.

THE WARBlERS ARE OUT
NOgales Council Bars Women From
 Saloons and Raises Licenses

The NOgales city council he'd meeting Monday night at whjcn most important business was transacted, namely The passage of an ordinance which practically repeals the "gam bling and women in the saloons" ordi. nance made law last spring, and transforms this border town from a "wide open" to high license c0mmu- nity, and also prohibits the employ ment of women in the saloons in any cApaclty.
 The new ordinance, which will be published four weeks before it be comes effective, provides that no wo- man shall be employed in saloons or gambling houses; raises existing gam. bling licenses from S60 to Sl2O yer year, payable every six months in ad. vance, and also makes all card games which can be played for gambling pur- poses subject to th5 same license.
 No matter what has caused the city council to experience such complete change of heart in this direction their action will meet with the approval of the great majority of the residents of NogaleS, and entities them to much praise.

He said ha was assured by Delegate Wilson and Delegate.elect Smith that the entire population of Arizona was opposed to the joint state scheme and he mentioned such republicans as Governor Brodie and ex.Delegate N. O. Murphy as giving confirmatory testimony. Mr. Bailey said that the wishes of the people of Arizona should be respected, and that until Arizona was entirely excluded from the present. bill, or the bill amend ed admitting Arizona as sep- arate state, or the provision suggested by Foraker for a separate vote in Ari- zona and New Mexico permitting the people of each territory to accept or reject union in statehood, the demo- craUs would not consent to a final vote being taken. Subsequently Senators Dubois and Newlands confirmed the statement of Bailey and left no doubt in Bsyeridge's mind that the demo. cratS are ready to tiiibuster if neces- sary to defeat the bill.
 The opposition, open and secret is little short of majority, and, in a session as brief as the remaining days of this one will be, with appropriation bills untouched aud the Swayne i'm peachment pending, extreme lengths in filibustering are hardly needed to defeat the legislation.

Mining on the Rand

During the first eleven months of 1904 the gold mines of the Witwater- srand, South Africa, produced 3,303,. ounces of fine gold, and the total for the eutire year based on the NOvem- Der production was probably not less than 3,640,000 ounces, or about $75,- 900, 900. This brings the production for single year to a figure higher than any heretofore reached on the Rand The highest output prior to the Boer war was reached in 1899, when 1t was 3,6l4, ,9S5 ounces, or about half a million dollars less than that of 1904. The experience of years on the Rand. the extensive development of the mines to great depth over q wide area, and the thorough knowledge thus obtained of the geology of the banket. it's irregularities as to size, and varying goid content, have been of great practical value to the mine managers there. e.-Mining X Scienti iic Press.

JOHN STANTON ON COPPER
Talks Very OptimisticaIiy of Out
 look for New Year

John Stanton whose opinion on copper matters is always highly re- garded-in his first expression of the new year concerning the position of the metal market at the present time and It's outlook for the immediate flu. ture, says to the Boston Journal.
 There can be no question that the feeling is decidedly optimistic, and the reasons are the continued large demand fnr the metal in Europe and a rapidly increasing demlud by our domestic consumers, which promises to grow steadily along with the in- crease of general business. Latterly new demand for copper has sprung up from oriental sources. Japan has taken some copper and China very large quantities, the shipments being spread over several months to come.
 ''The outlook-especially for prices this winter-is decidedly good. There is no doubt that large quantities of copper have already been sold by pro- ducers at satisfactory prices for deliv- cries up to April, yet the demand con- tinues strong, aud I should not be sur prised if prices go higher, possibly up to 16 cents for short time, but we ought to be satisfied with present fig ures-3ay b to 15s cents. {"
