A SEASON OF LACE.
Such Charming Little Jackets Arc Offered To-Day-The Various
 Styles and Laces.

As this is a season of lace, the lace department is of particular interest. Among the many charming novelties shown are the little lace jackets which promise to form an important feature of the seasons toilets. These are shown in real French and Irish lace, combined with batiste and hand em- broidery, with graceful little quarter sleeves. Others are in baby Irish and heavy crochet, with half sleeves and slashed up the back. The same style of jacket is shown in their batiste and "Vap combinations. Collars and chemisettes, with cuffs and half sleeves to match, in all the fashionable laces, are another feature of this department. and there are some beautiful speci- mems of the new Point d'Auvergne.
 One may select from large variety of beautiful white waists here-and practically all waists are white this season. One attractive model was of accordion plaited chiffon. with handmade German Wal" insertion, three large German medallions form ing the yope. The short sleeves and a girdle were of white satin. Another model was fo all-over net, with imi- tation Irish insertion and perpendicu- lar tucks. forming pointed yoke. The short sleeves were finished with rufie of net and the high neck with ruching of German Wal" A charm ing china silk waist had tucks and German Wal" insertion stimulating bolero jacket. The sleeves were trimmed with bands of perpendicular insertion. with a cuff of insertion, and small rufies of china silk.
 The summer suits and dress fabrics show a striking predominance of gray-bride's gray, princess gray and small black and white stripes. checks and figures. giving the gray effect. In the foulards and figured India silks, which they make a speciality of here. this color seems to be particularly at- tractiye.
 Gray also appears in hosiery. but white Is the predominsting color in this department. as elsewhere.

the debt that must be Incurred in build
 ing 1t and that 1t will pay its way.
 If had any serious doubt of that
 should have nothing to do with the thing"
 "As 1t is," responded Hallam, ''you've got the heavy end of the log to carry, so far as work is concerned. When are you going to begin your cam paign?"
 Almost immediately. I've got ev- erything in the bank into satisfactory shape now, and three days hence shall begin a speaking tour in the in- terior counties. I'll make 1t even more a talking tour than speaking one, for while public speech, If 1t is per suasive enough, may influence many, 1t is the Quieter talking to individuals and small groups that does most to win votes. I've already secured the cooperation of all the country editors, but they need stirring up. Of course you and Stafford and Handy will take care of Cairo and Alexander county"
 This proposed railroad was one clear ly destined to be of the utmost conse- quence to Cairo and to the region through which the line must run. The method by which it was planned to se- cure It's construction was the one then in general use throughout the west. It may be simply explained. Everybody concerned was asked to subscribe to what might properly have been called an inducement fund. The subscrip- tions were meant to be gifts made to secure the benefit of the railroads con- struction. More important than these personal subscriptions and vastly greater in amount were the subscrip- tons of counties, cities and towns. Under the law as 1t then existed each county, city or town, if its, people so voted, could Tend its credit" to an en- terprise of this kind by issuing its own bonds. When sufficient sum was raised in this way an effort was made, usually in New York, to secure the forming of a construction company. The whole volume of the subscriptions was offered as an inducement to such a construction company to undertake the building of the road. Usually the construction company was to have in addition a considerable share of the stock of the road when completed. The city, county and town subscrip- tons of course depended upon the re- suits of special elections held for that sole purpose.

 But 1t dS9s not make me wish any thing of the kind, Barbara. It makes me more eager than ever to win you ,u order tnut l nlay devote my llre 70 'he loving task of making you forget :he horror of this thing. Oh, Barbara, 1 never loved you half so madly as I love you now. And you love me. 1 know it, but you must say it. You love me, Barbara! Say it! Say it now"
 The girl hesitated for no more than a moment, while her whole body quiv- cred.

 But you have no disgrace You are innocent. The fault is not yours that your father betrayed his trust score of years ago-before you were born."
 The two were standing now.
 ''I want you to sit down while an swer you, Barbara" said Duncan, with almost unimaginable tenderness in his tone No, not in that straight backed chair, for I want you to listen to all l have to say and to be at ease while you listen.

ROMANS AS SHOW GoERS.
Something of Interest for Modern Lovers of the Drama to
 Ponder.

Just how the ancient Romans went to the theater and what kind of shows were billed in the days of Augustus and Nero was explained by Prof. Wal. ton B. McDaniel in a free public lec- tire at the University Museum of Sci- ence and Art yesterday afternoon.
 The audience heard with some sur prise that the political lights of Rome, the senators, got the choice seats. the aristocrats sat next, then came the husbands and wives and last of all, way up in the peanut" gallery. sat the women who came without escorts. The lecturer also told that married men got better seats than single men and that boys were seated under the view of their pedagogues.
 In describing the big theater built by Pompey the Great he startled his hear CTS by declaring that in the fine art of the masses Dick" Croker was child compared to the late Pompey. The lecture was illustrated with numerous lantern slides.

CHAPTER XXIV.

V YPON becoming president of a
 strong bank and the close as- sociate of Hallam and Staff N ford in all their undertakings, Guilford Duncan became at once fac tor to be recognized and reckoned with in all enterprises with which he had to do. He had brains, character and in- domitable energy, and these had al ready won for him the respect of the men of affairs. Now that he had con- trol of money also, his power and in- fluence were multiplied many fold.
 Very early in his career as banker Guilford Duncan discovered that half the merchants in Cairo were young men of little capital who were stag garing under loads of debt on which they were paying ruinous rates of in- terest.
 It was easy enough for him to pro tect his bank by gradually reducing its loans to such men as these, but the prudence thus exercised added to the number of his enemies. He cared ht- tie for that SO long as he knew his course ifo he right. 9iSGEa Looking farther afield, he saw that a like condition of things existed all over the west and was the inspiration of much greater undertakings than those of the merchants and shopkeepers.
 He used often to talk of these things with Hallam.
 You're quite right" said that saga cious financler. "The country has gone on big financial drunk, and of course the headache will come when the spree is over. But it won't be over for considerable time to come, and in the meanwhile the country is getting a good deal of benefit from it.
 Fortunately it is taking better course than such sprees usually do. Ordinarily the existence of an inflated, superabundant and depreciated curen- cy results in a wild orgy of stock gam bling. grain gambling, cotton gambling and all the rest of 1t. There is no more of good fin that-in fact. there is far more of harm in it to the country-than there would be if everybody went to betting at roulette or faro. It makes the lucky gamblers rich and the un- lucky ones poor, but it produces noth- ing. even incidentally. This time the gambling is taking a more productive form. Instead of betting on market fluctuations men are putting money in- to factories, mines, mills and railroads,

 Moreover. as he reflected upon the compact. he saw how certainly the close and intimate friendship for which it provided must daily and hourly draw the two lovers closer and closer togeth- CT. making each of them more and more necessary to the other.
 As he realized the extent of his sue cess in his wOoing he planned tO per feet it in a hundred ways. He resolv- ed to make every possible opportunity for Barbara to help him. in order that she might learn how helpful she could be.

The Hawaiian star., 1906-04-14

Albert F. Judd is the man who will
go to the Philippines for Filipino labor
for Hawaii and he will probably go on
the America Maru, which is to arrive
here next Saturday from San Fran
cisco and proceed to the Orient. Judd
is a we'll known local attorney, of the
firm of Atkinson, Judd and Mott-Smith.
He was selected at a meeting of the
Planters Association Thursday after
noon, it is said.
The legal and transportation difficult
ties attendant upon getting labor from
foreign lands will not all apply to the
Philippines proposition. 1t is under
stood that transportation arrangements
are in sight, whereby if Judd's mission
proves successful there will be facili-
ties for the rapid transportation of
laborers here from Manila. 1t is an
ticipated by some that there will be op-
