There are hats, very ordinary-looking

heretofore. though the difference when
the ends are covered by the vest Is not
important The conformity of tie to the
color of hose worn Is now regarded as of
high Importance, although the effort to
achieve such similarities is looked upon
with utter scorn by most outstanding,
rugged men.
1t is the shirtmaker who really has
evolved some of the prettiest offerings
of the spring. and some of the ugliest,
too. There are some genuinely pretty
fabrics In black and white and some sim
ply hideous. IL depends largely upon the
width Of the black lines.
The yellow shirts which first appeared
have been replaced by less startling ef-
fects. The ruffled shirt is positively the
very newest. but It will have a stiff fight
10 make before 1t becomes we'll estab-
lished. The shirtmakers are attacking
somewhat cautiously, and at first the frill
is being put on only the shirts for full
evening dress. This ruffle is no mean
affair. It is built double. one layer on top
Of another, the under one being about two
inches wide and the other slightly mar
rover. The under ruffle Is side plated
and ironed flat against the bosom Of the
shirt while the other is fluted. The bosom
is Of regulation stiffness. A standing
collar is worn with this shirt slightly
turned back at the front edges the full
width of the collar.
Japanese silk is one Of the favorite stuffs
for the more expensive shirts. 1t comes
made up in pale yellows, pale pinks and
in white. Stocks will be worn somewhat
with these, the stocks made of madras and
different kinds Of cotton goods and of
course in white.
A vigorous fancy and a prediction for
color has had it's highest development this
spring with regard to mems hose. There
is almost nothing which has not been
thought out in fancy silks and stripes.
One make popular this spring is a two
tone affair for instance black with a back
ground of yellow. To all intents and pur-

had an opportunity to select hats from
so many colors. And the same is true

Der shades in all.
The green hat, first scoffed at and Sc
cretly admired by the same persons, has
held its own and will be seen again this
spring. Likewise the brown soft hat
and derby is in order and the gray. The
fashion for matching colors has helped
out the hat maker. Men wearing green,
gray and brown suits will pick out head
gear to conform and those who do not
wear the new suits of these lighter colors
will in many cases buy hats of the newer
hue and abandon the stiff. old black
bowler.
The favor for the same color has, of
course, extended to neekties and bows

RARE HISTORICAL DOCUMENT
Original Articles in Burgoyne's SUR
render TO Gates to BE
sold.

An historical document of extraordinary
interest and value is to be sold shortly In
New York. 1t is, so It is said, the genuine
articles of surrender of the British general,
John Burgoyne, to General Horatio Gates
at Saratoga, October II, 177.
The document is a folio sheet, both sides
of which are covered by the thirteen dl
visions, comprising the articles Of sur
render. 1t Is signed by u. Burgoyne," but
all the rest of the document seems to be
in the handwriting of General Gates.
1t is endorsed Articles of Convention
to soften the humiliation which Burgoyne
suffered in having to surrender to the
American forces. There is also an auto
graph statement of the number Of the SOL
diers who surrendered, viz: "2,442 British,
2,1OS foreign and 1900 Tories"
The statement is made by some writer's
that Burgoyne started from Three Rivers
on his Inflated expedition with 1900 men,
but H. NJ. Stephens, an English authority,
who had access to all the matter relating
to Burgoyne's march, defeat and surrender,
states that the British general left Three
Rivers with only $500 soldiers and 649 In.
dams, which force was reduced to 5000 men
when the Battle Of Saratoga was fought.
The endorsement on the document gives
also the number Of British and allies killed,
wounded and deserted. The articles read
that Burgoyne's troops are to march out
of their camps with the honors of war;
that the artillery and arms are to be left.
the latter to be piled by word of
from their own officers; that a free pas
sage to Great Britain is to be granted to
Burgoyne's army upon condition of the men
not serving again in America. during the
war.
The document ends as follows:
"These articles are to be mutually signed
and exchanged tomorrow morning at 8
o'clk, (sic) and the troops under 1t. C. B..
are to march out of their entertainments
at 8 o'clk. p. M"
The signature ~. Burgoyne" is slightly
blotted, the document is somewhat time
stained, it's edges have been strengthened
and a few words are missing.
1t is as IL the most important his
torical document ought to be in the United
States government library. but whoever
gets 1t will undoubtedly have to pay a
very big price, as very seldom indeed is
such a chance offered to the autograph
collectors of this country to secure so
valuable an autograph.-New York Times.

Buzzard's Bay to Broken Bow" the green
hats are selling well, just such hats as
came in last year. but the Omaha buyers
are a little slower to buy green hats than
elsewhere. Hatters ascribe this to the fact
that spring is scarcely mere. but will be
within a week. and when the lawns and
trees are green; when the sprinklers are
out and cherry blossoms appear, the men
will buy green hats.

There is a popular delusion that the em-

Frederick Sauard. editor Of the Coal Trade
Journal and an authority or the subject,
says that the trolley or electric street rail-
road service business is only fifteen 20
twenty years old and is already consuming
12,0OO,0O0 tons of coal annually. and tho de-
velopment of electric lighting in this coun-
try has created a demand for 100000 tons
a year. The lain made for electricity as
a saver of coal can be made good in some
instances, but investigation probably would
develop the fact that the application OF
that source of energy to the usos of man
has on the whole increased the demand for
mineral fuel.
