 CO0Iie Labor Contractors.
 Washington, Aug. 29.-No applica- tion has yet been made to the Isthmian Canal Commission for the specifications recently issued for the supply or Chi nese coolie labor for canal construc- ton work on the isthmus. Thts does not mean, however, that no bids will be received.
 The commission has had inquiries for two years or more concerning the likelihood of the employment Of coo lie labor. These inquiries came from about 150 firms and as rapidly as they were received, a mailing list was made up.
 When specifications were issued, the commission at once mailed copies to each of these firms, and anticipated the probable demand. Of the 15O or more firms in the business of finishing contract labor for great construction enterprises. it is believed at the com mission that between twenty-five and fifty will bid for the canal contract.

A SUPERB SHOWING OF STUN MING HATS AT SURPRISINGLY MODERATE PRICES.

This Millinery Exhibition appeals to every woman who is anxious to get in touch with the approved spring styles. It appeals to the woman who wants the latest Paris creations; to the woman who wants a less expen- sive but none the less correct adap- tation of the foreign model: and it appeals to the woman who wants to spend only few dollars yet get hat she can wear with the knowledge that it is in good taste and absolutely right in style.
 Our policy of giving the best and the most for the money" is splendid ly exemplified in the spring millinery.

The question Of the preservation Of the Anglo
