HATS FOR EVERYBODY.
Millinery Opening at Matthews-A Divin-
ing Rod Attracts Crowds.

From the babies bonnet and the picturesque
misses hat up 20 the smart little bonnet which
some middle aged women are stir willing 10
wear. there is thing IN the line OF feminine
headgear which cannot be found IN the millinery
department OF A ID. Matthews Sons. Fulton
street Brooklyn. The department IS having its
opening this week. and is well worthy OF visit
from all who appreciate artistic millinery.
The babies bonnets. TO begin with the most
important phase OF the subject are the cutest
things imaginable. There was one in white
broadcloth. for instance. which almost threw the
wonderful picture hats from Paris into the
shade. IL had three accordion pleated frills in
front. and all around the face were rosettes OF
white baby ribbon and chiffon. Two charming
little bows were arranged to fall over the little
ears and a ripple OF broadcloth edged with the
accordion fTfl covered the neck.
The picture hats were so remarkable that II Is
difficult 20 make any selection between them, but
one quality they nearly all had in common,
namely wonderful shadngs and combinations
Of color. one IN plain velvet. with the fashion,
able short front and wider back. trimmed
with a magnificent shaded violet feather, with
a single rose and foliage IN hRrmonizing tints

oriental figures around the crown Inside the
turned up brim was plume In shades Of
onion. gray and brown. fastened with a pleated
rosette OF gold cloth.

TO HELP FOREIGNERS.
". C.. 4. u. Wold Start School to
Educate Little Girls.

Speaking at the annual convention OF the
WonAn's Christian Temperance Union OF New
York County. which opened IN the Seventh Street
Methodist Church yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Hattie Damon county superintendent OF work
among foreigners. urged the white rfbboners 70
DO al they could for the immigrants. on the
ground that they were needed 20 replace the
vanishing American race
These little foreign girls" she said. ''win be
women in ten years more. and We shall be dead,
or superannusted. or have moved away. Who
are 10 take our places7 There are not enough
American children 20 replace as. but here are
the Foreigners by the million They VIII take
our places, and II we want them 20 MI these
places worthily must educate them for that
purpose"
Mrs. Damon suggested that the unions should
each appoint a superintendent OF foreign work.
whose duty Il should be 10 investigate the con-
oiiion OF the mmigrants-physical. financial,
moral and relgiOus-in her particular locality,
and extend a helping hand 70 them whenever
possible She also animated that during the
winter steps might be taken 20 establish an In
custr1al school for foreigners, similar 20 one
which Andrew Carnegie Is helping 20 support
Il Pittsburg.
Il am not at all alarmed about the irnmigra-
zion problem" concluded Mrs Damon I'VE talk
OF these ignorant foreigners ana complain that
they filing our almshouses. but they are not
al ignorant and they are not all paupers More
Immigrants landed shores during the
year ended on June I. 1896 than at any pre-
Vious time IN our history, but they brought
S19 600 with them. One thousand OF them
were musicians, 100 clergymen. and many
were lawyers. physicians and professional men
Those who had neither education nor money had
Tor the most part health and strength. We need
them al, and there Is no agency well adapted
as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
with its splendid organization. for giving them a
helping hand"
The convention VIII continue this afternoon
and evening.

WANTS PUsHCARTs ABOLISHED.
Pedlers Are a Nuisance and Should Go,
Says New York Merchant.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
SIR; read the report made by the commission
appointed by the Mayor TO investigate the question
OF the occupation OF the streets by pushcarts There
is subject which the commission carefully
avoided. and that is the right OF the Mayor
the Board Aldermen TO grant the privilege to
any part OF the public streets 70 any to transact
his business IN. The pushcarts very great
nuisance and which should be abolished. In
stead OF trying TO peTPetuate IL by licensing them
How any commission recommend that stands
for four pushcarts. one each corner. be sold at
public auction. within fifteen feet OF the corner in
front Of merchants place OF business for which
he pays $1,000 year anil upward2 What position
II would place him IN! II he asked the pedler to
move he would show his license and say: II paid
much 70 the city for this privilege public auc-
ton, and ] will keep IT,
The only section in the report which recommends
itself to business men is that the puShcart peders
could be abolished from the streets OF New York
without loss or injury to any but the pedlers
themselves and their families The best and safest
way to avoid the blackmail which the commission
says the pushcart pedler5 are compelled 20 paw Is
20 put the pushcart out of business altogether,
