 Rirht pretty are some of the little silk coats in la Wattcau, shown among the recent Paris importations, They are often trimmed with handsome laces or gallons and sometimes with rare embroideries.
 silk coats in the tone of the skirt are more used than are cloth ones like the skirt, especially in suits to he worn for anything like dress occasions, These coats are usually loose and made in odd styles in imitation Of twenty-five or more years ago.

LOVING AMERICA.
Hall Caine Tells Why He Loves This
 Country With All His Heart

Hall Caine has written the following euloey in which he gives his reasons for loving America;
 love America and the Americans love America because it is big, and because fits bigness is constantly im- pressing the imagination and stimu- latug the heart I love its people be- cause they are free with a freedom which the rest of the world takes as by stealth and they claim openly as their right, I love them because they are the most industrious, earnest, ac- tive and ingenious people on the earth; because they are the most moral re- people in the world because, in spite of all shallow judgments of superficial observers they are the most childlike in their national character, the easi- est to move to laughter, the readlest Co bo touched to tears the most ab. solutely true in their impulses, and tho most pcenr0Js I'm their applause ! lov. the men of America because their bear ing toward the women is the finest chivalry ] have yet seen anywhere, and love the women. because they can preserve an unquestioned purity with a frank and natural manner and a fine independence of sex love the cnnsti- tutIon of America, because its freedom

PERFORATED COINS
Models of Gents and Gold Dol lars With Holes in the Gen. ter Struck from Time
 to Time.

Germany's new twenty-five pfennig piece with a hole in the center to dis tingush it from the twenty pfennig piece, will be the first coin actually circulated by a western nation to show this oriental notion in coinage if an exception is made of certain perforat- ed coins, which are said recently to have been made in England for use In one of the British East African col- onies At the same time it is true that several attempts have been made to use such coins in this country, says the Hartford Times
 The first United States coin to show a perforated center was a gold dollar issued in 1S49 It had a square hole in the middle of the planchet, which was surrounded by a wreath of laurel. IL was the fore runner of the gold dollar Issued hy the United States mint in 1Si9
 This coin was issued only in gold, and was engraved, not struck from dies Specimens are now held at premiusN of s2O or more
 Tho h-xt United states coin with a perforated center was struck at the Philadelphia mint in 1850, and was of the denomination of one cent Ii was about the size of the little bronze cent now in use. at the time of it's issue the large, old-fashioned copper cent was still in general circulation
 The design was extremely simple At the top of the obverse and just above the perforaton was the word cent | On each side was a slx-leafed flower, with the date 1850" at the bottom. on 1 the reverse, at the top, were the let ! ters "U. S. A." and around the bor 1 der at the bottom "One-Tenth Silver"
 The designer reasoned that by means of the perforation persons would be able by the touch to distinguish in the pocket the cent from the dime, and the coin received the name of ring cent"
 ! Another perforated cent of 1850 show ed two rings in the field with the words Gent, One-Tenth silver The reverse showed an olive wreath around 1 the perforation and the inscription ! United States of America l There were several other varieties of | this coin, showing that the mint au
 thorites took pains to design coin that would answer all requirements, l These pieces were struck with both | pierced and perfect centors in silver, l copper. nickel and composition metal, and embraced altogether six yarities,
 without counting the various metals 1 None of the designs met the favor Of 1 the government authorities and none
 was issued for circulation, As they
 were struck in considerable numbers l they now bring but a small premium,
 which ranges from $1 upward.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
VARIOUS SLEEVES

The sleeves, in bishop shapes, are invariably loig Now while wrist length models arc certainly the only correct style for office or business wear, the three-quarter length is de cdedly the more convenient and economical for they do not reach be- low the elbow, where they get worn thus rendering the blouse practically worthless
 Of course. if the waist is one 10 be made at home, there will be sufficient goods left for renewing these parts, as the ravagcs can bo cut away and new material added with a tuck thcn talk en into new cuffs, and the usefulness of the blouse Is prolonged
 For a ready to-wear waist cuffs that can be drawn on must be pro vided to protect the sleeves As the wear only comes on the under arm, a good idea ls to make cufs from a large sized handkerchief one will make two pairs Of cuffs To fashion them the four corners are cut away and the bias edge to ht the sleeves is bound with tho goods The broad corner is laid under the arm and se- cured there with fancy safety pin The ends at the top are fcstooned in the same way.
 For these plain blouses the neck dressing may he plain or embroidered linen turnoAar collars The prcttiest finish, however is a trim, stiM little rosette of satin in the same shade as the waist This supports a short tag that ends in a little tassel or ball. The end of the tag is gathered 10 the little finish, Of course there are dozens of other accessories that are in good taste for business wear, but the quaint little rosette is a com promise between extreme severity and any tie aDproarhing clahoratpnpse

NEW PLAYERS
HERE FOR TEAM

Today three baseball players
of more THAN state reputation
reached Grand junction for the
purpose of taking places on the
local ball team and will be tried
out in ,ime for Sunday after
noon's big game with the Star
BloOmer Girls, the famous fe-
male organization, which team
will reach here saturday night
and will play the Grand junction
team next Sunday.
Hugh Bernard, of Colorado
Springs, the Western league player
whose services have been in such
great demand and who is one of the
best pitchers that ever played on a
Colorado diamond, is one of the
three new men. Tom Raedel and
Bert Dow, a noted short stop and the
former third baseman that makes
them all sit up and take notice, are
the other two men. The trio arrived
today. The local management has
long been endeavoring to get these
men over here. With them on the
local team and with Toner. who will
return to the city tomorrow, the local
team will have the strongest, best
anu idHltSl lineup IT had 81 ldi
this season.
Acting Manager Luddy. of the base
ball team, believes that the people
will get their moneys worth beyond
q shadow of doubt on Sunday after
noon.
There is no question but what the
new additions to the team will arouse
and renew enthusiasm in the local
baseball circles and once again the
people should rally to the support of
the team. There is no question but
what honest and earnest efforts are
being made by the local management
to make the team, as it will stand re-
organized, the best semi-professional
team in western Colorado
There is little doubt that Sundays
game will be corker. The Star
Bloomer Girls have been playing fine
ball all over the state and have de-
feated some of the very best teams in
Colorado. They play ball all the
time. they do not make pretense.
1t is to be hoped that the grand
stand will be crowded Sunday after
noon The fans will not only see a
good game but will help the local
baseball team to liquidate all its
accounts.
Efforts are being made to get a
number of games for the next few
weeks.

several hundred sorrowing friends.
Only brief service was held at the

The funeral procession as it moved
to the cemetery was one of the most
extended seen in the city in years.
There were nearly half a hundred
carriages following the hearse. There
were about thirty members of the
Order of Railway Conductors in at
tendance and there were fifty-two
members of the Eagles lodge moving
in the procession silently paying tri-
butte to the memory of their departed
brother.

that knew him in life shall know him
no more.
There was a world of lovely flow
ers, including many large and hand
some designs from the fraternal ord
ers and from friends in this and
other cities. The casket as it stood
in'the Hynes home this morning was
literally covered with fragrant flow
ers, delicate tokens of love and re-
spect from those who knew and loved
the departed.
There was a large representation
of the ladies auxiliary to the Order
of Railway Conductors in attendance
at the funeral, Mrs. Stoltz, the widow,
being member of this order. Men
in All classes of the railway service
who make Grand Junction their
home were present at the funeral if
it was possible for them to be in the
city this morning.
The memory of Matt Stoltz will be
kept green by his hundreds of friends
and the sorrowing family has the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their hours of dark be-
reavement.
