flowers, in combination with tuale, are very
much in evidence. All of which means
that bit of millinery laden with pIuues,
which perfectly suits the fair Shoppers
face, can have it's price greatly reduced by
substituting choux of maine interspersed
with shaded flowers.
Whether the craze for tinsel trimmings
win last over another season is doubtful
brilliant embellishments would go to show
that their life Is for one season only. FIRST
because of their initial expense and sec
ond because they have never yet been made
so they viii not tarnish.
Another winter innovation of which the
continued vogue, however, is assured IS
the hat trimming OF feathery osprey. In
spite of the annoying faculty these long
plurnes have for sweeping in nearby faces,
they give a remarkably stunning touch,
which Is dear to the up-to-date feminine
heart. A striking Partisan model, which
shows this style of adornment. is a black
hat in mushroom shape, with decided
pitch over the face. Peeping over the front
of the brim a sillken blackbird has It's body
almost hidden in choux of black tuile, from
which the osprey energies in sweeping
slant to the left. Black tulle conceals the
bandeau at the back. No headgear could
set off light frocI and pretty face more
youthfully nor more effectively than a
black hat on the order of this extremely
smart model.
1t would be difficult to find any greater
bargains in evening coats than have been
shown all the fall. The season has been
a noteworthy one for fetching wraps Of
fered at most reasonable prices. An i'm
provernent in the cut is perhaps the one
feature which oilaracterizes the mid-seaSon
models. Broadcloth reigns all supreme as
the material for the dressy cloak, while for
the wrap intended for evening use alone
delicate shades of Ivory, biscuit color, dead
rose and petunia are prime favorttes.
OF two popular cuts, the empire corselet
effect has attained an enormous vogue. A
striking method of setting off this deep
yoke is to braid it all over in simple design.

little divided underskirt or pantaloon OF

of all other pettcoats. For Paris mud

most as difficult to remove Besides the
little divided skirts which are virtually
gymnasium trousers. fitting the hips with
close yokes and bagging modestly lower
down, are much warmer
This is a very valuable attribute for any
under rigging that is to be worn in Paris,
for unless a student lives in an exceptional
way she must battle all winter with bitter
cold None of the little apartments are
heated, nor are any of the student hotels
where few girls of tremendous courage

HANGS IN BALANCE
LIFE OF SENATOR BROWN DE-
 STARRED OF.
Woman Who Fired the shots Which Wounded Her Former Master, Seems to Have Plenty
 of Support.

Washington, Dec 1o.-The life of for mer United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, who was. shot by Mrs. Anna RI. Bradley. in his hotel apart. ments last Saturday afternon, tonight Is hanging by a mere thread. Little hope for his recovery is held out by att tendants at the emergency hospital, but his physician, Dr. W. IT. C.. Carr, still has some hope that hes patient may survive. Senator Browns tempe rature reached 1O4 tonight, and. accord ing to his friends, he is still getting weaker.
 Mrs. Bradley spent another restless day in her cell and her only thought seems to be for the man whom she shot down. Assistant Districe Attor- ney Givin announced that If Senator Brown is still alive tomorrow, shall issue information against Mrs. Brad ley for assault with intent to kill and she will be given a preliminary hear ing at police court at once. In the event of Senator Browns death, murder will be charged"
 A. F. Leckie of counsel for Mrs. Bradley, says he was retained by George w. Barch, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah, and John l.. Bagley, former Attorney Gen. eral of Idaho, personal friends of Mrs. Bradley. He admits that Mrs. Bradley has received many telegrams from Salt Lake City offering her assistance, but that none of these offers had been &C., cepted.

0PPOSE MIR.
 BONAPARTE Moody's Appointment is Not Confirmed. BALTIMORE MAN IN WAY Objection Was Raised on His Trust
 Attitude. Attorney-GenernI was Not Elevated to Supreme Bench on Account of Fight on His Scheduled
 Successor.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Opposition to Charles J. Bonaparte, as Attorney General, prevented the confirmation of William H. Moody as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, when his nomination was called up today in executive session of the Senate. sa
 The opposition to Mir. Bonaparte was based upon the speech made by him in Chicago in September, 1899, before the conference held there to consider the trust question. In that speech. Mir. Bonaparte declared that legislative &C., ton in regulation or restraint of com missions was undesirable.
 When the Moody nomination was re- ported by the committee, Senator Gull person called attention to the fact that the position he Is to vacate will be filled by Mir. Bonaparte and he then read extracts from the Chicago speech in support of an argument that Mir. Bo-' naparte is not qualified to take the responsibility of enforcing antitrust laws.
 Senator Knox, formerly Attorney General, said that he had talked with MT. Bonaparte and had found hiu thor oughly in sympathy with the adminis- tration in breaking up combinations Of capital which operate in restrain of trade. He also, remarked that prob ably there were few men fin the Senate chamber whose minds had not under gone some decided changes on many great questions since 1899, when con- ditions were far different from what they are today.
 Senator Rayner started to reply to this speech. when Vice President Fair banks observed that the nomination before the Senate was that of Mir. Moody and not of MT. Bonaparte. This had the effect of curtailing the speech making, but Senator Teller said that 1t was customary for all nominations to go over one day after being report ed from committees. and, therefore, objected to further consideration.
 A large number of nominations were confirmed.
 Among them were. Major General Arthur MaeArthur, to be lieutenant General; Erigadier- General J. M Leo, to be Major-General; Capt John J. Pershing, to be Brigadier General; {; Col. E. A. Darlington. to be Inspector. General with the rank of Brigadier. General; Col. c. c. Snifin. to be Pay- master General, with rank of Briga- r-GeneraI; Col Arthur Murray to be Chief of Artillery, with the rank Of Brigadier-Genera1; Gen. R. M.

 New York, Dec. 10.--Professor Wl!- liam If. Dlffenbach, of Flower Hospi- tai, has made study of over 100 cases of cancer.
 The x-rays, he says. frequently pro- duce cancer. He suggests that the re- markable increase in cancer Of the stomach may be due to the abandon ment of the old fashioned copper or iron cooking vessels and the substitu- ton of the enamelnd ware, on the theory that minute articles of this grit 1y enamel are frequently passed through the ahmentary tract, causing rrita- tioh.
 Further announcements of the re- marlxable curative effect on cancer of trypsin the new extract of the ancrea- tic juices are made in the current is- sue of the Medicial Record, by Dr. Wii- liam J.

CALL ON PRESIDENT
SHEA GOES TO THE HIGHEST
 QUARTER.
Asks That Roosevelt Furnish His Ate torney With Transcript of ste~ nOgrapheFs Notes Taken During Conference 0f
 1907.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-President Roose- welt has been called to assist the de- fense in the Shea case and Mayer Ed ward E. DunfIe will be subpoenaed as a witness in behalf of Cornelius P Shea and his co-defendants. when the state has finished the presentation of it's evidence against them for alleged con- spiracy in the teamsters strike last year.
 The president has been brought into the case by a letter addressed to him by Shea today, recalling to him the interview he had in Chicago with a committee representing the striking teamsters in May, 1905.
 Shea, who was spokesman of the committed. requests President Roose- welt to forward to him a transcript of the stenographic notes of the conversa- tion which was taken down for the president by a stenographer, explaining that 1t Is desired to use 1t in the de- fense. The committee presented to President Roosevelt at the conference a memorial from the Chicago federation of labor. protesting against bringing troops to Chicago.
 Mayor Dune is expected by the de- fense to testify of conferences at which Shea and other defendants urged him to force arbitration of the strike. When the trial was resumed this afternoon. Michael Murphy, who was on the stand when adjournment was taken Satur- day. was recalled.
 He told today of how he, in company with six other members of the team stears' union which had committed 8 number of assaults on non union men during the strike. On cross examina- tion. he denied that he had turned states evidence for any consideration and said that he had pleaded guilty of his own accord.
