Hats That Improve With Aoe.

"a silk hat, like wine. improves with
age" said a clubman. 1.-THE oftener
you have it ironed the sleeker and
more brilliant it becomes. 1t costs a
good deal at the outset, but in the end
it is the cheapest hat to wear. 1t lasts.
you see, SO long. and to iron it costs
so little. Some folks think the topper
very perishable. If it gets soaked with
rain, if some one sits on it and crush
es it into an accordion, they think it
must be thrown away the same as if
1t were a derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like watch, and if it
gets crushed nothing is easier than to
melt off the silk, straighten out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home of this hat
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. And
the oftener the old hat is ironed the
brighter and finer it shines. Its luster
increases with time and friction like
the luster of good antique furniture"

Says Tt Is Restraint of Trade to cite
Up" Railway.

Battle Creek. Mich, Oct. s. = The
convention of the NatiO@al CitZers'
Industrial association opened here with
about fifty of the expected 200 dele
gates present for the first session. The
feature of the opening meeting was
the address by President G.. w. Post.
OF this city Post took strong grounds
against labor unions and the closet
shop. He said: 1T is manifestly a
much greater restraint of trade an
noyance and loss to the people for the
labor trust leaders to tie up railway
and prevent travel and shipments than
it is for the oil trust to obtain from
the railway rebates not enjoyed by it's
competitors; for the last is simply
peaceful scrap between business men.
1--WE have laws to punish these men
who bring disaster, loss and suffering
upon an entire community, and we
must demand action by our public
prosecuting officers in such cases."
Post advocated the reorganization Of
citizens associations, with an arbitra-
ton committee to settle industrial troll-
bles. "Our work people need and de-
mand protection from the designing Or
impetuous men who rush into strikes.

Memphis, Tenn. Oct River meA
are greatly agitated over the formal
order of President Roosevelt, instruct
ing that the license Of the pilot of the
steamship Fred Hartweg be suspend
ed for ''jockeying' on the trip down
the river from Cairo, Ill. The cap
tain Of the Hartweg has been suspend
ed for six months, which is worse than
demanded by the president, and there
is a good dealof feeling expressed. The
evidence was taken by Captain II. G..
WalZ, of this city inspector of hulls,
behind closed doors, which also is Eot
liked. The defendant in the case was
Clarence Nichols, the pilot of the Hart
veg.
Some of the evidence has leaked
out. Witnesses who were on the
presidents boat, it is said testified
that during some ''jockeying' to get
next to the presidents boat, the Hart
veg bumped the Mississippi. This tes
timony was fatty contradicted by wit
nesses who were on the Hartweg, who
declared that no collision occurred, and
at no time was there any danger Of a
collision.
George W. Tice, vice president OF
the Monongahela Consolidated Coal and
Coke company. which OWNS the steam
er Fred Hartweg. has made a state
ment regarding the reported collision,
in which he says: II, myself. was a
passenger on the Hartweg and at no
time during my observation did the
Hartweg approach the presidents boat
so close as to make an accident or col
lison even probable"
