 As sheer materials are to hold their own throughout the winter and are to be worn more than ever for daytime purposes, these coats will be one of the most pronounced features of this seasons styles.

 Many of these coats are in colors, soft shades of deep cream or yellow bound with black satin. The new shade of blue is also much used, as are the fruit reds.
 The quality which distinguishes these coats from the coats of older women is their freedom from elabor- decorations.
 They are pretty and fine in quality and exquisite in finish and quaint ir style rather than rich looking.
 Perfect grace of line is the first thing sought for by the fashionable builders of these coats Very young girls with their slender figures can we'll afford to wear gar ments of the most simple design i they be gracefully cut The evenint coats which are now being turned ou all have this quality of simpleness ant gracefulness of line.

Opened With Pomp and Cere m0ny New Prison on Site
 of the Old Newgate
VERY OLD PRISONSIIE
Prisoners Have Been Kept There Since the Year of t1SS--It Was Scene of All Executions Untl
 Law of 1868 Was Passed.

London, Feb 27.--The new central criminal court, erected on the site of the historic old Newgate prison, com monly known as the Old Bailey, was opened to-day by King Edward, who was accompanied by Queen Alexan- dria. The function was semi-state affair and considerable ceremonial was observed. The court house is an imposing structure with frontage on the thoroughfare known as the Old Bailey of 2S7 feet, and 142 feet on Newgate street. It cost $1, 1,5O0,- 900. This street corner, in the cen- ter of the city, has been the site of prisoners since the year 11S8 and for over century Newgate was the scene of all public executions. until the private executions act of 1868 ended the grewsome spectacles.
 The king, in reply to an address, referred to the "barbarous penal code" administered. within the walls of the old building and said he re- joiced at the fact that this was being gradually replaced in the progress towards higher civilization by laws breathing a more humane spirit and aiming at the noble purpose of re- forming criminals by showing mercy to first offenders, which often proves the means of re-shaping their lives.

TO SEIZE DUCK ISLAND.
Purpose Was to Plunder the Celebes
 of Its Rich Mineral Deposits.

Cape Town, Feb 27.--The police last night raided the headquarters here of an audacious filibustering plot against the Island of Celebes. a Dutch possession in the Malay Arch ipelago, east of Borngo.
 A band of three thousand armed Sdventurers planned to concentrate and descend on the island and hold it by force against the Dutch, while its mineral riches were being devel- oped and worked. It was intended, however, to demand mining conces- sions from the Dutch government and only to employ force in the event of refusal.
 The polEe in their raid last night seized a number of documents relat- ing to the enterprise, which, it Is al- legged has branches in England. on the continent and in the United States.
 Celebes Island has an area of about 72.00O square miles and a pop ulation estimated at 1,50O.OO0. Gold is found on the island and precious stones in some of the river beds. Celebes has been Dutch possession since 16G0.

Ammonia Fumes Rendered Them Unconscious While They
 We're Fighting Flames
PIPES WERE MELTED
Connected inc Ammonia Pipes With the Cold Storage Plant. RescuerS Were With Difficulty Saved
 From Death.

New York, Feb N.-Two firemen were killed and eleven others render ed unconscious by ammonia fumes at a fire this morning in the base ment of a market in Eighth avenue. One of those who was made uncon- scious may die, while the condition of two others is serious. The dead firemen are Adam Damn and Harry F. Baker.
 But for the heroic work of three rescuing parties. the death list would have been larger.
 Damn and Baker had carried a pipe through the basement and into an opening leading to sub cellar, when they called for water pressure However, when other firemen reach ed the hole to assist them, Damn and Baker were not to be seen. Ammonia fumes had poured up through the hole and filled the basement. The flames had melted the coupling of one of the ammonia pipes connected with the cold storage plant of the market
 Rescuing parties were formed and Damn and Baker carried up from the hole with difficulty. Each of the rescuers succumbed on reaching the outer air and writhed on the side walk. Roll call revealed the fact that Captain Bernard Carlock was down in the hole, and he was brought to the surface. It is believed that he will not recover.
 Damn died in street car and Baker died at a hospital. The finan. cial loss will be about $2,000.

 Dying of Pneumonia.
 New York, Feb 27.-To save pa tient's life Dr James Monroe Wicks of Humboldt avenue, Jamaica, early yesterday morning carried a sixty pound tank of oxygen on his back for a mile, in the chill wind, on icy pave ments. Adam Schultz, mechanic, was dying of double pneumonia. Dr Wicks reached him with the oxygen in time, and in all probability Schultz will recover.
 Dr Wicks passed all Monday night with his patient and gave him hypo- dermically, powful heart and lung stimulants. Their action failed final ly; only oxygen remained as the last resort
 The doctor. at ? o'clock yesterday morning, went to the nearest drug store. a mile away. and got tank of the gas. There was no other way of carrying it; so he had it slung on his back, and with infinite difficulty reached Schultz's house. The patient seemingly in his last gasp, inhaled the oxygen and revived.
