GETS LEGACY BY
SETTLING DOWN

NEW YORK, March 20-(SpeciaD
Out of Long Island City came the
story today of Baron John F. Won
Nuggets f1fteen-year struggle against
"wanderlust" undertaken to fulfill
the terms of a legacy under which,
he says, he is to inherit 100000. To
back up his strange tale the baron,
who is now a Waterman on Long Is
land City, shows pile of papers two
feet thick, which, he declares, prove
his right to the money left him con-
ditionally by his mother, the Coun-
tess of Holzendorf, who died in Sax
ony in 1880
Long before his mothers death Won
Muegge developed love for wander
ing over the face of the globe In an
endeavor to make him settle down.
she provided in her will that her only
son and heir must serve for fifteen
years in a responsible place.
Won Muegge says he was in the
West when he heard of his mothers
death and the strange provision in
her will Before the death of his
father he began his career in a naval
academy in Germany, but after fight
ing duel with Count Westerhagen
he was compelled to leave the coun-
try.
Won Muegge is now sixty-two years
old and single. Long ago the WAN
derlust" left him, and then he settled
down as special Waterman He has
, an understanding with the courts in
Germany, he says, that an honorable
discharge from that post will fulfill
ire obligations imposed by his mo-
Their.
Won Muegge said the last gap OF
his long struggle would be completed
next August.

new STYLES IN
HATS FOR EASTER
Fashions in Metropolis This
Season.
Correspondence Times-Recorder.)

Correspondence Times ecorder.)
NEW YORK, March 2O.-Hats are
odd. Some of the new shapes are
stylish, and some are not. Each wo-
man must make it point to see that
the shape is not "outre" and have it
changed in some way-by a new turn
in outline, or some color combination,
or arrangement of trimming-that
suits it to her own face.
Many of the new hats are flexible
in the brim, being held to their
shape by fine wire under the brim
facing, so it will be an easy matter to
make many change to the taste of
the person in question
Fronts in many of these new hats
are narrow, but still droop a little.
The crowns in most instances are low
and there is the same fall at the back
that we have had this last season.
There is tendency in the imported
hats to raise a little at the sides, a
much better effect than the all round
droop, which was trying to the major
ity of faces.
FlOwers-they are numberless-
wreaths of dainty small flowers, Of
ten combination of few large flow
ers and many smaller ones are seen,
sprays arranged to initiate cigarettes,
clusters of flowers, one immense sin
gle peony, rose, chrysanthemum, or
a bunch of Violets, daisies, ETC., are
masSed anywhere and everywhere
provided they are becoming there, or
to fill a vacant spot, especially under
the brim where the hair is not of
sufficient quantity to fill in.

COTTON ACTIVE. But
DECLINED BADLY
Local Market Dormant,
Quotations Unchanged.

Feverish activity pervaded the cot
ton market yesterday, the disturbing
force being the census report on the
amount of cotton ginned to the mid
die of March The figures were H.
POI 900 bales, their reading taking
place at the opening While the fig
ures were only a little larger than
expected by the bulls, it was fol-
lowed by heavy selling The decline
was stubbornly resisted, the market
rallying at intervals. Fluctuations
were frequent, in striking contrast to
the lethargy of recent days. In the
afternoon the market gave way, the
last being a few points above the
lowest New Orleans was swept below
the 10 cent market for May and July
for the first time in two seasons. The
large operators were selling and the
declines caught stop-loss orders, as
on the previous day. 1t is to be eX-
pected that the market will recover in
Net losses were sustained of 8 to II
Net losses were sutained of to II
points.
New York opened to 10 points
higher on a firmer market abroad,
bue the ginners' report resulted in the
dissipation Of these early advances.
Feeble efforts to stem the tide were
made, but the tendency was generally
downward. Almost rout took place
in the afterOOn, the close being 10 to
II points below the last for Thurs
day. Spots were marked down 10
points.
New Orleans opened 4 points lower
for May to 3 points higher for Octo-
Der. The market made material gains
for the active positions, but in the
afternoon rapid decline set in. The
close was 8 to II points net lower for
the day. Spot quotations were un-
changed.
Liverpool opened to 5 points
higher and closed 5 to 6 points above
the close for Thursday. The market
is due 8 points down this morning.
Spots were reduced 2 points, the sales
being 5000 bales.
Absolute stagnation pervaded the
local spot market. Quotations are
unchanged from Thursday

Plumes Very Popular

Hats trimmed with quantities of
plumes and feathers are extremely
popular, especially is this trimming
seen on the aH-black hat, and when a
bit of color is needed as it usually is,
except in the case of a few rare and
fiawless compilations, a big rose in
pink or yellow, or of red, is added
When the all-black hat is unbecoming
those of other colors are chosen and
lavishly trimmed with black
Tulle filling is now now used over
these bandeauX, indeed it is rare that
anything of the under brim is seen
at all. When dropping hat is I'M
becoming, often making the wearer
look as though someone had put the
brick, that children are told about, on
her head to keep her from growing,
then the bandeau is used to raise it
from the face and ears and yet keep
the original shape
