 able Clothes or Headgear, ~ or False Hair.

New York, May 2.-The girls of Hor- acc Mann School at Broadway and One Hundred and Twentieth Street. have been forbidden to wear ultra famionable or extravagant headgear: false hair, elaborate adornments or scwelry, high -heel shoes and peek-a- boo waists.
 This sweeping edict was given from the pulpit in the chapel. Ever since, the new dress reform has been tne chief topic of discussion among the rirls. who aver that the boys in the school are allowed wide latitude Tn their selection of wearing apparel
 virgil Prettiman. principal or the schooi. disparages the talk caused by the new rule and says that questions Of good taste in dress frequently arise in the school.
 For months the question of proper dress has agitated the pupils ana in- terested the teachers. certain clique of girls have been in the habit or go- ing to their class in raiment nat yerged upon the extremely fashionable types. Finally a girl showed herself dn a hat that bewildered her colleagues. It was d Gadnesborough affair with un- 4ald decoratfons She was told by one Of he teachers that she must not wear auch d hat to school. Another girl re- vealed a coiffeur gay with little aru- Hcfal DuffS ana was ptOhPsAy Soii manded to leave the surplus attach ments at home.
 Another young maid demonstrateo geometrical problems on the black board with her. fingers decorated with brilliants. These instances aroused keen rivalry among the girls in the matter of dress. until the decision was reached to tell the gorls that there must be moderation in dress.
 The following articles of dress were blacklisted:
 Merry Widow hats. or hats of ex- tremeiy large proportions. or trimmed fin q conspicuous manner. Hair rib- bons of too large size or conspicuous in color. False hair of any description. ssLotta Faust" collars. Dutch Eecks and Nadine bows.' Reek-a-boo waist or waists with short sleeves.

ITO INCREASE COMMISSION.
President To Name New Member For
 Philippines.


 Washington D. C.. May 2.--The bill authorizing the appointment by the President of an additional member of the Philippine Commission. making nine members in all. was passed today by the House.
 Under this authorization. the Presi- dent will separate the executive de- partments of finance and Justice under the commission and each will be head ed by commissioner.
 Mir. Fitzgerald, of New York, raised the objection that Congress and not the President, should decide whether the departments of finance and Justice sh ould be separated.
 "Congress." said MT. Clark. of Mis- souri, "seems to have gone daft on the subject of creating commissions and bureaus. We have before us pro- posais for the creation of a tariff com mission and I am glad to say that l for one join with the gentleman from New York tMr. Payne) in opposing that suggestion. Then 1t Is proposed to create financial commission-to give a lot of men job of pumping around the country"
 Mir. Clayton, of Alabama, suggested that under the authority of the bill, 1t was proposed to place another Fil- ipino on the commission. and that that would make a majority of the com missioners Filipinos.
 That has not" he said, been our colonial policy. suppose the real req son, however, is to create another Ted. eral place for another pie eater" MT. Cooper, of Wisconsin, resented these intimations. and in reply, MT. Clayton demanded:
 Who is the man the President pro- poses to appoint If we pass this bill?"
 MT. Cooper replied:
 "The present attorney general of the islands; a man of ability and fine lawyer"
 Well" said Mir. Clayton, T think the pie brigade is big enough now. and | don't believe in helping along its movement on the White House."
 The bill finally passed by a vote of | 0c i'm,

SHEEP OWNERS MUST
OBEY THE LAW

Washington. March 10.-United States
Attorney Carl Rash of Montana, has
notified Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
United States forest service, that the
United States circuit court of appeals at
San Francisco, has affirmed the decision
OF Judge Hunt i'll the grazing trespass
case instituted by the government against
Thomas Shannon.
No copy of the decision has yet been
received by the forest service but it is
believed that it forbids stockrnen to
allow their cattle to drift upon the ma
tional forest, and that the national
forests need not be fenced to prevent
such drifting, although the state laws
may make such fencing necessary for
private lands.
In December, 1904, Shannon allowed
his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt
national forest in Montana. To put a
stop to this, suit was brought by the
United States, and on March IS, 1907,
Judge Hunt, iiIthe United States circuit
court for the state, rendered a decision
i'll favor of the government, and issued
an injunction perpectually restraining
Shannon from allowing his cattle to
drift upon the forests Montana has a
fence law by which land owners must
fence their lands before they can obtain
redress from stockmen whose cattle,
feeding upon the open public domain,
range upon and injure the private lands
Shannon's counsel argued that this
state law should apply as against the
United States, but Judge Hunt held that
the power of congress over the public
lands, including the national forests, is
complete; that congress has lawfully
delegate to the secretary of agriculture
the authority to make regulations to
protect the forest; that the secretary had
properly made regulation that cattle
must not rauge upon the forests with
out permit, and that consequently Shan
non was trespasser when he allowed
his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt
forest, although it was unfenced.

YERINCTON ASKED FOR
AN EXHIBIT

The following letter has been received
at this Office, and is self-explanatory:
Carson City, Nevada, March H.
Leslie SMALL Esq, Yerington Times.
Dear sir: William NJ Porter, presi-
dent of the International Mining Expo
sition, which opens at Madison Square
Garden i'll New York, May rs, has writ
ten to this commission urging that the
State of Nevada make an exhibit of her
mineral wealth at said exposition.
A space of 150x32 feet has been set
apart for Nevada, but SO far no steps
have been taken toward utilizing the
space.
If each county in the State will appro-
pirate the $3.50 authorized i'll Section of
the Publicity Act, fair exhibit could be
made
1t is also proposed to raise money by
private subscription, and all moneys adj
vanced can be refunded by the State in
the shape of a relief bill, to both coun-
ties and individuals.
This is matter of great importance to
the entire State. All the other western
mining States will be represented, as it
is to be an education by demonstration
of the mining interests of the world.
To have Nevada merely represented
by blank space 150x32 feet would be
disgrace to the State.
Any subscriptions forwarded to the
chairman of the commission at Carson
City will be publicly acknowledged, and
if four or five thousand dollars is raised
it will be sufficient to pay the Transports
ton on the ores to New York and re-
turn. and have representative of the
commission i'll New York during the e>-
position, which lasts from May IS to
June 20. Respectfully,
SAM p. DAVIS, Chairman,
b. MENARDI,

RAWHlDE ROAD WILL
HELP YERINCTON

Within ninety days Yerington will be
nearly 70 miles nearer Rawhide. This
means that the Mason valley will out
rival all competitors and that the farm
ers and merchants of this section will
reap richly of the benefits to follow. A
contract has been signed between the
Rawhide Western Railway company and
the California Construction company tor
the immediate construction of a railway
from Rawhide to the main line of the
Nevada California road.
That Rawhide is to be connected with
the outside world by rail is due to the
efforts of Joe Holland of Wabuska, who
interested capitalists with whom he is
connected, i'll the scheme. Acting upon
his advice large capitalistic interests
looked into the matter after having been
told of Rawhide and its wonderful pos
sibilities by Mr.. Holland. The result
was that they at once advanced the nee
essary money and made arrangements
for carrying the scheme to successful
conclusion.
The new road will connect with the
Hartman lines at Rawhide Station,
new town to be started about six miles
south of Schurz.
While Fallon will suffer to some ex-
tent on account of the road, Yerington
will benefit wonderfully, 1t means that
the produce of this section will have to
be transported but short ways to the
line of railroad. But where Fallon will
suffer the most will be caused by the
taking off of the teams now plying be-
tween that thriving community and
Rawhide. The effect the road will have
on Schurz remains to be seen.
