MILLINERY OPENINGS.

Last Friday and Saturday were the
days which attracted Yale ladies down
town and to the millinery shop when
the spring showing of hats was held
The three parlors of Mrs. Eva Black,
Miss Pearce and Miss Ross were all at
tractively adorned for the occasion and
the new shapes and styles and trim
mings were highly satisfactory to the
many visitors as all the latest modes
were displayed. Many handsomely
trimmed models were sold on the open
ing days although the weather seemed
much adverse to summer headgear.

The City Council for the year ending
April 6, 1908, established some records
which will make the succeeding body
go some to beat Three of the mem
bers, Jas. Wallace, j. G.. Holden and
j. B. Stevens, attended the entire q
meetings of the council. Five of the
six members were present for every
roll call, and j. 1. Rosenthal and j. K.
Staley attended every one but 2 and
respectively.
During the past year gravel has been
placed on every street in the city, and
never have the roads been in better
condition than this spring A team of
horses and an outfit was purchased for
the city, and the hauling, grading, keep
ing the sidewalks clear of snow, has
been accomplished with this team.
The purchase of the gravel pit was
another wise move, saving the city a
large sum of money. Many other note
worthy things were accomplished by
this Council, would space permit of
their recounting. The new council in
tends to keep up the good work by
grading, leveling and gravelling to the
city limits the four main roads leading
into the city. The hill on North street
will be cut down, and the sandy road
to the cemetery will be greatly inn
proved Both bridges will be raised
and heightened.

REGARDED AS A MARVEL.
Bow Lives for Three Months With a
Broken Back.

NEWARK, y. J.. November 21.-When
Elmer Dressed, seventeen. of No 121 Cen
trail avenue applied at the German Hos
pital yesterday for treatment for his
paralyzed side the surgeons were aston
ished to learn after an x-ray examina-
ton that the lad had been living for the
last three months with a broken back.
1t was a marvel, they said. that he had
not died long ago. as he had been under
home treatment all the time, and no one
had apparently suspected the dangerous
nature of his injuries.
Young Dressed while diving at Asbury
Park, n. J., August ~ struck his head
so hard against the bottom that one OF
the vertebrae high up in his spine was
disloca led. He was assisted I'm donning his
clothes and went home thinking he had
suffered nothing worse than a bruise. In
a few days his side became paralyZed.
At the hospital yesterday the surgeons
set the dislocated vertebra. thus reiev-
ing the pressure on the spinal chord. They
said last night there was a chance for
Dressels recovery. although he was az
mittedly in a precarious condition.

PALMYRA. N Y. November 2l.-The
father of Harry Sampson. who was found
dead in his father-in-law's home Novem-
Der / does not believe that his son conf
mitted suicide and testimony given at the
inuuest being held here has strengthened
that belief among people hereabouts. DR..
Hamilton. the gun expert of Auburn, who
was a witness at the hearing, gave it as
his opinion that Sampson could not have
held a rifle and shot himself as he was
shot
DIR. Hamilton said the wound showed
that the bullet had detected downward
from the point of entrance at the heart
and that the rifle must have been held
three feet from the body because there
were no powder marks on the dead
mans clothing. DR.. Hamilton's testi-
mony has created something OF a sensa-
ton. and those who have scoffed at the
suicide theory all along have gained many
recruits 10 their way of thinking.
Sampson Found Dead.
When DR.. Rodenberger of Macedon
was called in. Immediately after the
tragedy. he found young Sampson lying
dead on the pantry floor. \ 22-inch-
barrel rifle was standing against the
wall near and the rooms were filled with
smoke. Mrs. Allen, young Sampson $
mother-in-law, says she heard Harry cry
out and as she entered the room he fell
face downward with his hands clasped
over his breast. The police say that
Mrs Sampson claims to nave been up
stairs in another part of the house at the
time the shooting took place. The two
women were alone in the house for some
time after, until neghbors arrived. Some
witnesses say that when they arrived
Sampson was clutchng d piece of cheese.

reason why Sampson might have ended

Mr.. Hermann of House & HERMANN
furniture dealers at 18th and / streets
northwest, was equally as emphatic as
Mr.. Jackson that the early buyers are the
ones who get the best chance to MAKE
their purchases without the rush of the
busy season hurrying them to make up
their minds. The large assortment in
the opening days of the Christmas sea-
son. according to- Mr.. Hermann, should
appeal to particular buyers. He said that
he is sure the merchants OF Washington
are especially DESTROYS that the people
who are to purchase for the Christmas
season should avoid the excitement Incl
dent to the busy season and make their
selections before this time arrives.
Better Attention Than in Rush Time
Mr.. Lansburgh of the Julius Lansburgh
Furniture and Carpet Company. 512 9th
street. said today that it should be urged
upon the buyers of the Capital city TO
make their purchases early during the
Christmas season. The best reason We
can give for urging the shoppers of this
city to buy early said Mr.. Lansgurgh,
lis the fact that at this time of the sea-
son we are able to give their needs the
same careful attention that we always
endeavor to give to all OF our customers.
Later when The rush is on, while We do
the best we can by every customer. some
times there are little delays which can
not be helped. Thus you see that those
who shop early have the advantage of
our greatest help in making selections.
Later in the season. too the stock is
not as complete as it is at the opening.
and thus the late buyers do not always
have the opportunity of having as inter-
esting an assortment of goods placed be-
fore them for selection as those who come

Home.slade Fireless Cooker.

Ny freless cooker is made from
common box in which canned toma.
toes were packed. The box is twenty
inches long, twelve inches deep and
fourteen inches wide. The bottom
and sides were lined with Boston
Posts and ground cork was put on
the bottom to make a layer two
inches deep. Two ten-pound tin lard
pals were set in and around each
one was placed a pasteboard cylinder
a little larger and higher than the
pals. The box was then filed up
with the cork, which was packed
down firmly. Meat is boiled ten
minutes in a ten-pound maple sugar
pail. 1t is then covered tightly and
set into the larger pail, which is filed
with boiling water and then covered.
A feather cushion is put over it, and
over all is thrown an old wool
blanket. 1t is crude affair, but ii
works as well as the expensive manu-.
featured ones. Food placed in it in
the morning is piping hot for our
6 o'clock dinner. The tin pals l had
in the house, so my cooker did not
cost me a cent.-Boston Post.
