PARAGRAPHS ON
FadS and FanCieS.

Fur toques and hats of pretty
shapes are popular and stylish.
Fancy waistcoats for men are in
The Ostrich plume still holds sway.
You find them in black, white and
every imaginable tint
Hat pins with extremely large tops
are quite the rage. They should be
the same color as the hat
The Regis corsets are a great fav-
orfte with women who are most par
ticular about the fit of their gowns.
Royal Blue, Golden Brown, Mulber-
ry and Amethyst are among the
most favored colors for high class
costumes.
The new boots for women are of
gun metal, vici kid skin, winter tan
and oxblood, with one and three
quarters to two inch cuban heels.
The fiat hat with low broad trim
ming continues to be great favorite.
Ostrich plumes when used in plenty
are very effective on these wide
shapes
Buy the corset first The success
of the gown depends not SO much on
its style and cut as on the style and
fit of the corset.
A number of midwinter displays
have been given in the leading Paris
shops and already the notifications
are being shown in America.
The beautiful American lace edged
handkerchief is close rival to the
delicate embroidered one. Just a
hint of color adds to the effect.
Old Rose is a color as much favored
in Paris for hats as for gowns. 1t
is used for afternoon and carriage
gowns as well as for receptions and
balls.
The French women are wearing
shoes almost as high as English boots,
while American women are returning
to the lower cuts except for storm
boots.
Lace wells are again in demand with
handsome hats. They are shown in
black, gray and brown. Those made
OF imitation lace are very effective
though much less expensive.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Coincident
with the sailing today of Mrs. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt Sr. to make her home
abroad, 1t was learned that Baron
Otto Hoenning O'CarrolI, the Austro-
Hungarian consul here, had sailed on
Wednesday. The baron has been a
frequent caller at Mrs. vanderbilt's
house, and 1t was reported today that
she would shortly marry the baron. In
discussing the report society friends
of Mrs. Vanderbilt went SO. far as to
assert that the marriage probably
would be celebrated in Italy during
the early part of June
Baron O'Carroll has been also the
protege of Mrs. Vanderbilt during the
year and a half that he has been in
America She has introduced him
everywhere. and 1t was the baron who
introduced Mrs. Vanderbilt and Miss
Gladys to Count Szechenyi.

Iastigated by Persons Who
Can Be Injured by him
By Francis. j. Heney

Ut Is an obvious fact and have
NO hesitation I'm declaring TINT
this was not the work of any
crank or anarchist, but deliber-
ate attempt to nssassinate GAL
lagher, instIEated by persons who
can be injured by his testimony
in the graft cases. The fiendish
rccklessness with which the lives
of innocent and disinterested
persons were endangered stamps
the attempted assassination as one
of the most atrocious crimes ever
committed I'm California. The law
does not furnish any adequate
punishment for its perpetrators or
its instigators. Hanging would be
too good for all Of them.
1 have long been expecting this
to happen and at the very moment
it did happen L was telling Will
liam o. IngIis, representative of
Hnrper's Weekly, In my Office, that
tAt - kAA1NS nOsv 0C1hS
by the graft defendants to prevent
justice from being effectively en-
forced through the courts are of
far greater and more lasting in
jury to the community than all
the municipal graft crimes COM
mitted under the Schmits admin
istration by Schmftz, Ruef, the
boodlinE supervisors and the COR
poration bribers combined.
Mr.. Inglis asked me what 1
meant by that statement and I
replied that meant the organized
effort TO bribe and kidnap wit
nesses, suborn perjury and bribe
jurors and TINT was confident
that the organised grafters would
go still further and, assassinate
witnesses or others to accomplish
their purposes and defeat JUS
tice.
III any one wants confirmation OF
my statement 1t is only neces-
sary to stand ON the sidewalk In

Ing amy morning for half an hour
before court opens, now that the

Time for Decent Citizens
to Assert Themselves
BY Rudolph. SpreckeIs

THIS attempted assassination
of Gallagher Is but another
- indication that IL Is time for
decent citizenship to arise and
assert itself positively and un-
mistakably against crime, and par
tfcularly Is 1t time 20 cease this
maudlin sympathy for rich crfmf-
mails, whose dirty money can pro-
cure such deeds. Men who could
bring themselves to hire assnssins
should be even more severely dealt
with than the half crazy, ignorant,
vicious tool who lends himself to
their commands. Such an out
rage In the natural consequence OF
the sentiment which the wealthy
criminals have tried so hard to
engender, and of the malignant
attacks that hnve been made SO
persistently mt their instfgation
against the men who are devoting
themselves to the exposure and
punishment of crime In high
