SHOWING OF FURS
UNUSUALLY FINE
Fancy Vests for Afternoon
Costumes.
Correspondence Times-Recorder)

Correspondence Times Recorder)
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-It is many
years since there has been such a
beautiful showing of furs as there
is this winter The cost of the really
expensive furs is often doubled be-
cause of the addition of heavy trim
mings Lace, embroidery, applique,
velvet and braid-which are all
used extensively, as well as the
heads, tails and paws which are really
more popular and very fashionable.
Coat and Fancy Vest
The favorite style for the tailored
afternoon costumes is the coat with
the fancy vest and many gored full
skirts, trimmed with two or three bias
bands A stunning costume of this
style was seen recently developed in
plum blue satin cloth, the seams
stitched with black. The vest was
plum blue taffeta, striped with
black, and here on either side of the
coat were three cut-steel buttons.
The cuffs and collar were of a deeper
shade of velvet, than the material.
The skirt was of the thirteen gored
model, each seam stitched heavily
with black silk, and the front seam
was a plain box plat trimmed with
eight cut-steel buttons. The bias
bands of the material put on at equal
distances apart, made the skirt COM
plete.

Alabama's Extra Session
Montgomery Advertiser.)

The extra session of the Legisla-
ture of Alabama has adjourned.
With all due respect to its member
ship, giving all credit for honesty and
sincerity, it may he truly said that
Alabama would be better off if so
per cent of all the legislation of the
Legislature were off the statute books
We are convinced, moreover, that a
majority of the people of Alabama are
of the same opinion.
The extra session was useless, cost
ly and foolish. 1t had no other pur-
pose than to find means of prevent
ing railroads from going into the
courts of the lands. 1t is extremely
doubtful if this purpose has been ac-
complished. But if it has, if the Leg
islature acting upon the direction of
the Governor, has violated the con-
tract made between the railroads and
the State, expressed in their charter,
has not a great evil been done the
welfare and prosperity of Alabama?
IT, 1T has been done, notice has been
given to the outer world that capital
can only be invested here at the mer-
cy of the agitator and politician 1t
is notice to the world that Alabama
has deprived invested capital of the
rights, secured to it by the Constitu-
ton of the United States and of the
State of Alabama. And when this is
done, Alabama has declared war ON
prosperity and shut itself within a
commercial Chinese wall, built of
demagogism.

Question of Sleeves.

The question of sleeves is indeed
a very important one. The Japan
csc sleeve which has been so popu-
lar has been practically set aside by
all makers. However, the sloping
seamless shoulders and the wide arm
hole is very fashionable. Sleeves in
blouse waists are usually large and
full at the top and fitting closely at
the wrist. On some of the afternoon
and dinner gowns the sleeves are
long and very full with only a slight
change at the wrist
Some of the new hats that are
being made to wear with suit
of a different color are really as
tonishing with their many colors.
With dark blue suit, which was
seen recently, was worn a MORE
hat, black on top and coral pink un-
der the brim. This was trimmed with
black MORE ribbon and an aigrette
of yellow tipped with pale blue.
Heavy white serge suits will be
worn this winter They are strictly
tailored, the skirts cut in the circular
or plated model The cuffs and
collar may be of a different color,
brown, for instance, and in this case
a brown hat may be worn. If the suit
is all white, a white felt hat should
be worn and would be very effective
if trimmed with black ribbon, white
wings and a touch of emerald green.

ENGINEERS GOOD
WORK ON CANAL
Hired Labor Preferable TO
Contract Work.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 3d.
(SpeciaD Full details of the work
done on the Panama Canal during
the fiscal year of 1907, with a show
ing of what has been accomplished
since the project has been in Ameri-
can hands, are disclosed in the an
nual report of the Isthmian Canal
Commission just made public. 1t is
the first report made of operations
on the Isthmus since construction
work has been in charge of army
engineers.
Aside from the $50,000,O00 paid to
the French company and to Panama,
an aggregate of $4S ,2S5,110 out of ap-
preparations of $79,60S,56S has been
expended by the Government on the
project adopted by Congress, which
it was estimated by the board of
consulting engineers would ultimate
ly cost $139,705, 200 This leaves on
hand an unexpended balance of $751;
323, ass. This estimate, however, did
not include sanitation and expenses
of the Zone Government, water works.
sewers and paving in Panama and
Colon and the re-equipment of the
Panama Railroad.
A strong position is taken favorable
to a continuation of the work by
hired instead of contract labor, a
step at one time considered by the
Administration, Many arguments are
presented to justify the conclusion that
the canal can be built better, cheaper
and more quickly by the Government.
West Indians Replaced
In discussing labor conditions, the
report says:
The class of skilled labor recruited
in the United States has been fairly
effective, although in a number of
cases men have been sent down as
carpenters at the highest rate of
wages who proved on trial to be in
efficient and were either disrated or
discharged Much of the West In
dian labor used in the division, has
been replaced by European labor.
While the hourly rate for European
labor is somewhat more the results
are much greater than from West
Indian labor and have proved more
satisfactory
