been imported in those. The first that
were seen on this side of the ocean came
over last autumn securely packed away
In the trunks of some society women
who planned for stunning appearances at
Southern resorts later on. When '~The
Belle Of Mayfair" began its long run at
Days Theater, In New York, the show
girls In the plece-on the program they
are down as Lady this, Countess that and
Duchess some other thing--carried those
pompadour parasols with the most chic
grace imaginable, and they created quite
furore among women who pay keen at
tention to matters of Dress
One thing is very apparent, even thus
early In the season, and that is that the
day OF the fussy and over-trimmed para
sol Is past and gone. There is a certain
amount of plainness to even the most ex-
pensive examples, and the befrilled and
beruffied varieties have been relegated to
tnat oblivion that evertakes fashions that
nave been overdone. Not that elabora-
tlon Is lacking Ia any Of the newer modes
Not at all; or there is a vast amount of
elaboration to be seen; but 1t is that the
more iamboyant and conspicuous addi-
tions to the parasol proper, such as fut-
tering fiounces and festooned ruffies are
by common consent of the fashion makers
omitted from the seasons program.
But there is a wondrous amount of
elaboration wrought upon some of the
simpest-looking affairs, and their price
Is quite In keeping with their elaboration.
For morning and the simpler afternoon
uses there is nothing so modish as an
Irish linen parasol. The Irish peasantry
are maryelously gifted in needlework,
and some examples have been imported
that for fneness of weave and fairlylike
embroidery can hardly be exceled. They
are held at very high price. those same
parasols, for they are all handwork, every
stitch OF them. Some houses are show
ing the covers unmounted, and suggesting
all sorts Of extravagances In the way OF
handles. One beauty in fne white linen
is embroidered In the national combIna-
tion OF Brtain-the rose, the shamrock
and the thistle, thus bringing in the ma
tional emblem or England, Ireland and
Scotland, and making a pattern that the
royal family OF Great Britain favor
muchly in table linens-the work alh done
solid In ine linen lace thread. all plain
white. This is mounted appropriately
enough, upon a handle OF carved Irish
bog oak, black with age, the head being
the British lion, and the Scotch cairn-
gorm-a yellow stone not unlike the topaz
mailing the animals eyes. The price OF
this example OF weaving, embroidery ana
caryers arts is just a single 500, and the
importer claims that it is cheap at the
price.

piefendorf-Wriglex Nuptials.

Yesterday morning at nine O'Clock
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. l. Col
Inns was the scene of the simple but
impressive ceremony which united
Mr.. Philo c. Diefendorf and Miss
Mabel NJ Wrigley in the holy bonds
of matrmony Reverend Miller off
ciated, over the Episcopal ring SER
vice which made these two loving
hearts happy for life. Mrs. c. l..
Collins played the wedding march.
and during the ceremony Miss Gladys
Dickinson very sweetly portrayed in
song the happiness that would fol-
low the couple thru life.
The wedding took place amid sur.
roundings of pink and white roses
in the presence OF few intimate
friends, and Immediately afterwards
dainty wedding breakfast was
served.
The bride wore white French lawn
trimmed in Valenciennes lace, and
the groom conventional black. Mr..
and Mrs. Diefendorf took the II:o5
morning train for the west and will
spend their honeymoon in the prin-
cipal pleasure resorts OF Colorado.
The bride came to Holly from
Corona, Michigan, few months
ago to accept high position in our
schools. The only regret attached
to her having entered the ranks OF
the matrons is that she will no long
er continue her work in the schools
of Holly. While she has been here
but a short time she has made many
friends who extend to her their most
hearty good wishes, and who more
than congratulate the lucky groom in
his selection of a life companion.
Philo c. Diefendorf has been con-
nected with the Holly Sugar company
since he came to Colorad two years
ago. He is a man of sterling quail
ties and one of the leading citizens
Of our little metropolis. His friends
are countless and felicitate him on his
remarkably good taste in the choice
OF a partner to grace his home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Diefendorf on their
return to Holly in a few days will
take up housekeeping in the artistic
cottage in the west part of Holly,
where Mr.. Diefendorf has for some
time last past been sojourning as a
bachelor, Good luck to you, Count.
May our sweethearts become our
wives,
And our wives remain our sweet
hearts"

4 Chance for Some old Clerks.

Brig. Gen. c. c. Sniffen, the Paymaster
General Of the army, has made a recon-
mendatIon in his annual report which is
apt to attract the objection Of some army
officers. Gen. Sniffen expresses the view
entertained by most discerning military
authorities in sounding the note Of warn
ing concerning the continuance Of the
system Of detailing line officers to per
form duty In the special staff corps. This
IS one Of the reforms introduced during
the Root administration, as a means Of
protecting the staff from dry rot. and
getting rid of hidebound sDecialism by
making the line officer an all-around
utilItarian. The real reason for the
change was that it helped promotion in
the line by a certain rotation in duty,
enabling the filing Of vacancies caused
by periodical details to the staff The sys-
TEN has, in actual practice, proven as un-
satisfactory as was predicted Cor it by
those who were against il at the start.
In the event of war, Of course, these line
officers who are acting in the staff will
want to return to their line commands.
Il is only natural; and this will leave the
staff at the mercy of appointments from
those rendered eligible by political pull
and who come 10 their new positions
without knowledge OF, or experience in,
their duties.
Gen. Sniffen believes, with others, that
IT is we'll enough 10 have these details
made to the junior positions in the spe-
cial staff corps. but that places in the
upper grades-that Of major and above
should be filled by permanent appoint
ments. TO the end that there may be a
personnel in the stan corps which Is
there TO stay. regardless OF what may
happen. To this end he has recommended
that, so far as the Pay Department is con-
cerned. the line officers detailed to- the
grade Of captain in the Pay Department
may be regarded as furnishing the list OF
eligibles from which appointments may
be made to major in the Pay Department
the officers appointed in this way TO re-
main in the Pay Department and be pro-
NOTED by the usual rule of seniority
That is well enough and viii probably
have the Endorsement of the service; but
he makes another suggestion, which viii
probably fail of such Endorsement. It IS
that the civilians who have been acting as
clerks TO paymasters for twenty years OF
more may be also regarded as eligible e
appointment as major in the Pay Depart.

phiIippine Defense.

Revival Of the old controversy between
the army and navy as to the proper
place for a great naval and military base
in the Philippines suggests to a lay mind
the question whether, as a matter OF
fact, the archipelago is defensible by
land fortifications located at any one
point This point was somewhat dis
Cussed at the time the islands were ac-
quired, when the opinion was given by
naval and military experts that the nat
ural point of attack would be Manila,
so that the indefensib.lity of other por-
tons Of the immense coast line could be
ignored. It was also assumed at that
time that Manila would furnish an ideal
naval base as Well as a splendid harbor
for war and merchant vessels. Time
has put a queer face on the assumptions
OF those who in 1898 advised the ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines as a military
proposition. 1t was soon discovered that
Manila lacked almost every important
requisite of a naval base. Subject to
dangerous storms, its shallow harbor
afforded no protection 10 costly ships of
war. Subig Bay was then found TO be
just the thing from a naval standpoint.
but that now turns out TO be indefen-
sible on the land side One army officer
is quoted as saying that it is "a mere
trap, and another that it would require
a force Of 10000 men 10 ward of an
interior attack.
Fortunately. the expenditure on Philip
pine fortifications, outside of Manila, has
not been considerable, so that if a mis-
take has been made in selecting Subig
Bay as the central point of defense. il
can be corrected without serious loss
There would seem TO be some inconsist
ency in the choice Of Subig Bay as a
fortified place, for Manila is the point
requiring defense. and the choice ap-
pears all the worse if the former place
proves indefcnsible except 10 the sea.
ward Our object in calling attention tC
these matters, however, is not to qUarre
with the naval and military experts, bu'
10 point out that we are facing a mill
tary problem in the Philippines that vii
prove very costly, as we'll as difficult
Of solution. Even If the defense Of tn,
archipelago were left to the fleet, which
seems the natural method, the cost vii
not be diminished. though the problem
may be easier Of solution. We shoul,
think it would be the part Of wisdom t.
inquire whether the islands may not b,
preserved from attack more effectively
and at vastly less expense by a diplo
matte agreement ike that by which ia
pan and the European powers havinl
large interests in the Orient undertake
TO respect and preserve the territoria
possessions Of each other. That is reall,
the only way in which the Philippine
can be made secure without the expen
diture Of a staggering sum in land for
tifcations and in feet maintenance.

State Aided immigration.

From the Philadelphia Press
The encourag cement Of immigration by
States IS an entirely different matter
from assisted immigration by individuals
or corporations. In earlier days all States
desired immigrants. and legislated in a
way that they thought would induce i'm
migrants TO settle IN their limits The
stream of immigration confined itself TO
the North, and Southern States now find
that they need immigrants, and to Sc
cure them they must offer special induce
ments. As Congress intended to allow
this form of assistance, but overshOt
the mark in the immigration act which
is passed, the reasonable and proper
thing to do is to modify that law at the
next session of Congress so as to except
State action, in regard to encouraging
immigration, from the general statutory
prohibition

gitimate. It is more drastic than the com-
mon law. 20 which monopoly is so abhor-
rent Any attempt at wholesale enforce
ment Of its provisions would require an
army OF detectives and lawyers, and
would soon set the entire community by
the ears. The Department of Justice has
wisely chosen. therefore. to bring mod
crate number OF actions to enforce its
provisions, rather than TO resort to prose-
eutions or a large scale. In the case OF
the railroads. in fact. the department has
hesitated TO proceed at all, for the reason
that the administration is committed 10
the belief that railroad agreements. now
unlawful ought 10 be permitted under
proper supervision.
It should not be hastily concluded that
those who favor changes in the Sher-
man law are desirous of Gripping the
power of the government over corpora
tions The fact is quite the reverse. SO
far as sentiment has revealed itself at
the Chicago conference, it appears TO be
for Mr.. Roosevelt's national incorporation
plan, which would carry with it control
over capitalization and publicity of cor
porate affairs But the most significant
aspect of the conference is its tolerance
Of the trust as something to be reformed
and made useful TO the whole community.
In other words. the era Of trust-busting
IS recognized as a passing one, which
IS about to give way to an era Of sane
and wholesome regulation.
