and flowers and recalling the days of the
crinolne. are already shown, but will be
seen in greater number as the season ad-
vances.
The round and melon crowns, the Am
azon and Henri Quatre shapes, the huge
high crowned and broad brimnled hats
dropping low at the left and turned up
boldly at the right, the large and small
mushroom shapes, quaint helmetlike hats
destitute of brim, new shapes with brim
narrow in front and much wider in the
back, where they curve down closely over
the hair. Natter and Watteau models
all of these and many more are among
the fashionable hats Of this spring. Vel
vet ribbon ties are essayed upon some
of the picturesque hats, consorting well
with the picturesque costumes worn at
the present time.
Apart from the usual straw hats there
are some novelties in satin and straw
that merit comment, for they are I'M
questionably smart, though trife hard.
White picture hats of chip and crinoline
and of drawn tulle and of pedal straws,
and black hats with crowns of chip and
brims of spotted net. furnish other charm
ing fashions in spring millinery.
As to bonnets, they are small and ruff
fed in front. made Of crinoline in black
or white or fine or fancy straw and
trimmed with aigrettes. bunches of white
flowers, jet ornaments and velvets rib

Moths dislike turpentine greatly. It
will exterrniuate cockroaches if sprink-

Tan leather boots are nicely cleaned
with turpeutine on rag. Also white

with small sponge dipped lightly ia
turpentine Wet the sponge just enough
to take off the soil and fly marks Let
the frame dry Itself.
The methods Of removing spots Of
paint, oil grease or tar from silk, wool
or linen is to pour a few drops Of tur-
pentine on the place and LET it soak half
an hour; then gently rub in the turpen-
tine, when ssou will find that the sub
stance crunbles out.
Carpets can be both cleaned and fresh
ened in coors by going over them once a
week with a broom danlpened in water
which holds littlen turpentine. New
paint is easily taken out with turpentine.
An equal mixture Of turpentine and lin
seed oil Will remove white marks on fur
niture caused by wafer. And surely
every housckeeper finds other uses for
this all-round material.

Was Surprised.

Adelaide Thurston tells an amusing story of her first meeting with Charles Frohman, under whose management she played for many years.
 Miss Thurston carried a letter of intro duction to the manager, and climbed up to his office in considerable fear and trembling. A short, boyish looking ind- vidual took the letter, opened and read it.
 'I almost gasped for breath; l was indignant" said Miss Thurston, and when the boy said quietly, If there comes an opportunity you shall be notified l held out my hand. saying to myself would see MT. Frohman yet. The follow ing day the little comedienne was walk ing up Broadway with a friend, when the boyish, chubby figure hove in sight. DO YOU know who that is? she asked. He had the nerve to open a letterof mine ad- dressed to Charles Frohman yesterday I don't doubt 1t at all was the reply, that Is Charley himself.

Art in Washington.

The regents of the Smithsonian in stitution have incubated at last. They sat on the Freer offer a year. and pushed by a strenuous president they have at last matched out an acceptance. They secured no change in the terms of the mAnonaire art collector of De- troit, who proposes to give the regents at once $500,O00 to be expended Tn the erection of fireproof home in Washington for his collection. He will retain control of that collection while he lives, adding to it no doubt as he goes along, and he may make provision for it's increase after he is dead and gone But no pictures are to be placed in the bunulng other than those he has bought or may buy. In other words. the building will in one sense be a Freer memorial, but the public will not mind that so long as 1t Is open to all free from expense. The regents are to see that the building is properly maintained.
 The Freer collection is rich in whistlerania, fin oriental art and in modern French painungs. Washington has besides the beautiful Corcoran gallery with its star picture, "'rhe Helping Hand.s Between the two gal leries it will soon aspire to become an art center and there is no reason why it should not No city in the land is more beautiful; no other so nation al; none so historic. MT. Freer has given it an uplift in art and the country will uphold the regents of the Smithsonian in their acceptance of the fine Detroit gift.

TWO AGED SENATORS.

From the Providence Journal.
 Alabama's two aged senator have an nounced their candidacy for reelection. and there is reason to suppose that the state will send them back to Washing ton for another term each. in spite of their years. Senator Pettus will be s5 on his next birthday and Senator Morgan S2, but they are active old men, sturdy of mind and sound of body, lSeenly in terested in life and able to attend with regularity to their senatorial duties. Sem ator Pettus seems like a survival from a half-forgotten era, for he was lieu tenant in the Mexican war. Both he and Senator Morgan rose to the rank of Brig adler general in the civil war and both have had prolonged period of service in the upper chamber of Congress. The usual result of retaining men term after term in the Senate has been to give the state they serve better representation than 1t could otherwise hope for, and Alabama would make mistake, other things being equal in dismissing these octogenarians merely on account of their age. There are other and younger men in the Senate feebler in body and mind than they.

PAUL DREssER's START.

From the New York Sun.
 Paul Dresser, the well known author of sentimental songs. died last night of dropsy and a complication of diseases at his home, 2O3 West One Hundred and Sixth street. Dresser was an enormous man and had travelled far and wide in the hope of finding a means of reducing his weight He had been failing steadily in health for six months.
 Dresser was born in Terre Haute 47 years ago. His father operated a woolen mill and wanted Paul to go into that line The son, however had different ideas. and when transforming troupe, giving a free show to advertise Wizard Oil" came along Paul ranS away from home with 1t as the organ player.
 The old songs the show had in stock didn't appeal to him and he wrote some himself. His songs made a hit in the rural town and he was summoned to the headquarters of the, medicine concern at Chicago. He wrote many songs there which were got out in a songster, along with advertisements of the oil Dresser branched out for himself in 1885 and made success with "The Letter That Never Came" About this time he joined Billy Rice's minstrel troupe 'as one of the end men. His next piece to make hit was ''I Believe It, For My Mother Told Me So"
 He came to New York and was some song puDnsmng business. lately with ne Paul Dresser Publishing company. It was in New York that he wrote Just Tell Elm That You Saw Me" and his biggest hit. "On the Banks of the Wa bash" Over 6O00OO copies of this song have been sold. Four brothers and as many sisters survive him.

Lifetime Trusty.

"rhe life time convict makes the best trusty," said a state convict guard on a Pratt City car Saturday night. This may seem strange to you. and l cannot explain why it is, but in my long experience as state convict guard l have found that the long time man is more apt to ap- preciate the confidence and trust shown him than the short time man.
 T have been guarding eonviets for eighteen years and since the first two years of the time have never made a trusty of a convict whose term of sen tence was less than ten years. During all my experience as convict guard have have never had life time convict to leave me while a trusty.
 '''rhe only reason l have for this is that when the convict receives his sentence he resigns himself to his fate the world grows exceedingly dark and he looses all hope of a freedom that Is secure from an everlasting dread When such a man is shown the favor of little freedom. the slight consideration of trusty. he feels it deeply and appreciates it more than the man who is in for only d short time.
 "Of course there are exceptions and one must know something of the character of the convict but on the general aver age l believe that my rule will De found to be correct and safe.'

Coercing Arizona.

Party interests say that Arizona must be forced into the union against its will. Territories with far less popu- lation had been made states because they could be trusted to send republi- can senators and representatives to Congress, and Nevada, which has been a state from time out of mind, has but one-quarter of Arizonas population. The fear is that Arizona will go demo- cratic, and so it is to be coerced into a union, first, with New Mexico, and then into the union of states itself.
 Such coercion has but two prece- dents, neither however being parallel. Tn 1790 Rhode Island was forced by commercial considerations to accept the federal constitution. If she had not done so she would have become

This District Undisturbed. d |.

District President Edward Flynn brings the welcome news that the inn pending strike of United Mine Work CTS. to the number of 500,000, does not apply to this district, Tennessee or Kentucky. because wage scales in these sections do not expire until June 30. In Illinois. Indiana Ohio and Penn. sylvania, Iowa, West Virginia Michi- gan.

There is to be- said President Mitchell. "a na- tional suspension of mining"
 Fortunately for this district, where the Alabama Consolidated and most of the commercial operators employ union miners We are not part of the nation In this matter, and Tennes- see and eastern Kentucky share our good luck
 It is hoped the big issue between operators and miners will be adjusted before July 1, which is nearly five months in the future. A great deal is possible in the course of five months. It is reasonable to presume that Presi- dent Mitchell national suspension will not touch this district at all. MT. Flynn says that it was not consid- cred in the action taken at Indian apolis. We can stand such neglect and want of consideration with great fortitude.

 N R. YUNG WING has lived in Hart VU ford. Conn., forty years. He is
 O a graduate of Yale university, which has conferred on him the degree of doctor of laws. and is diplomatist of great ability. He was at one time as- sistant minister resident of China at Washington. has been citizen of the United States for hfty-four years. Is a member in good and regular standing of the Rev. Joseph H. Twltchelrs Congre- gational church in Hartford, and is said to have always conducted himself so as to have merited nothing but courtesy and respect He was married to Connecticut woman and his two sons were both edu- cated at Yale Yet we afe told by the Hartford Courant that Dr. Yung Wing was grossly insulted recently in board ing house on the 'hill, and his many friends and aequaintances are indignant.
 It appears that about two weeks ago he changed his boarding house from the Pennington Avenue hotel to Mrs. Sarah S. Warmers. s. No 72s Asylum avenue.

Lock or Sea LevsI-Which?

The canal commission and the Presi- dent favor lock canal at perhaps an S5-foot level Expense and time of construction support lock canal for such canal can be dug in about eight years at an expense of about S150,000,000 while a sea-level canal would cost $250 100000 at least, and it would consume in construction work from twelve to fifteen years. The board of consulting engineers recon mend a sea-level canal because it would incontestihly be the better of the two. but the people who are to do the digging have right to consider the expense both in money and in timeI
 Congress is to decide, and it is one of the great questions that is to come up at this session. It is a large question. and it is one that calls for careful consideration free from all mis. leading influences. Nothing of a parti- gan nature should enter into it. Wheth- CT it is best to have a lock canal quickly, or a sea-leyel canal later on, is certainly a problem not easily de- termined
 There are many other questions to be considered-the nature of the labor to be employed-the question as to contracts-the eight-hour law, and per haps dozen more that will come up, but the chief question must first be decided. namely, is it to be lock or a sea-level canal? Congress can adjourn next summer with a clear conscience if in the meanwhile it has determined this question for the general good of the country and of the rest of man. kind, for it is absolutely world proposition.

An Immense amount of repair and eN- tension work" said Chief Wier of the police department. "is going on. It was begun soon after Christmas, and the pace mas been accelerated ever since.
