HATS 18 INCHES TALL.
For Short Ladies or a Foot Tall for
Longer Ladies, Now Imminent.


Longer Ladies, Now Imminent.
A consignment Of 200 of the monu-
mental hats for women which 1t Is
predicted will displace the wide
spreading peach baskets, got here yes
terday from Paris on the steamship
Kronprinz Wilhelm. The hats are
made Of fur and suggests the bear
skins of the Old Guard. They are
called Russian toqGes.
The toque does away with rats and
the spreading Ir'tfure that makes a
lady's head a EUuG enough umbrella
in a rainstorip. On the other hand
it is a skyscraper. The loftiest may
be slightly over foot and a half
more than three times the height of
ia mans silk hat-from the founda-
ton at the forehead to the apex which
is crowned with an aigrette. The lady
who wears the hat must comb her
hair upward and secure it in ball
a high ball-on the very top of her
head. Little ladies may wear the very
tallest hats, but tall ones can soften
the grenadier effect by wearing one
foot high creations and reducing the
spray of feathers. Viewed from rear
elevation the toque fits the head snug
ly. When the lady takes it off, as she
is expected to do at the theatre, she
will reveal a bunch of hair tightly
coiled that will not be wide enough to
obstruct the view of the stage of any
two-eyed man.
You can pick your fur and pay ST.
900 for a hat, but it is not doubted
that girls with no thousand dollar
bills to spare will be towering over
their sweethearts in that looklike fur
that will have cost not more than

dreamed that police regulation would
be necessary. 1t was soon seen, how
ever, that system must be establish
ed, and a line Of the penny applicants
was formed from the window, stretch
ing, serpent-like, UP and down the
long corridor and out to the steps in
front of the main entrance.
Boys at once set up thriving busi-
ness. The gatekeeper and treasury
officials had to accord them the same
rights as any other citizen Of the
land, and as they could burrow
through the crowd they got to the
window first. Then they went out in
to the mob and began selling the
coins to those who saw that 1t was
impossible for them to reach the dis
bursing window in reasonable time.
The rates fiuctuated from three pen
nies for 5 cents to cents each, the
latter being the prevailing price. About
400 persons who were turned away
when the doors were closed at two
o'clock afforded harvest for the
youthful spectators.
Almost all the coins in circulation
bear the initials Of the designers, the
nickel and old penny being the only
exceptions. Look at the handsome
throat Of the goddess, where 1t begins
to taper off the dime, and you will
see the letter B. That is the initial
of Barber, the designer. The 25-cent
and 50-cent pieces bear the same
stamp, showing the same authorship.
On the dollar the letter M is to be
found-Morgan being its designer.
The IS and $3.50 l'eces carry the lni-
tials Of Bigelow Pratt down to poster
ity, and the $40 and $40 coins are i.l-
itiated by Saint -Gaudens.
The practice Of giving designers
credit for their work, just as painters
affix their names, was begun in 1S49,
when the letter l. first appeared on a
double eagle, man named Longacre
then being the chief designer for the
mint. Brenner is native Of Russia.
The mint authorities do not under
take to account for the remarkable
interest that is taken throughout the
country for new coins. In part, 1t is
explained by the demand Of iGshion-
able women in the large cities to be
supplied with clean, undealec coin at
the banks. Many bankers, therefore,
are sending to the mints for new is
sues, even though forced to pay the
expense of expressage. The sub
treasures in the respective cities
could furnish plenty of coin without
this extra cost, but when milady i'm
periously throws back a money piece
that has gathered a trifle Of filth from
circulation and makes the demand,
"Oh, give me some new money" her
desires must be gratified, just as it is
always good policy to cater to the
wishes of business customers.

cried Mrs. Fairburn, with genuine
admiration beaming from her eyes.
II am going back to Chicago, Mrs.
Fairburn," continued the Carpetbag-
ger, slowly and with evident emotion
Ito begin the fight all over again

that I were worthy of you, I'd fight

standstill before I would give you

The ensuing silence was oppres-
sive. There was a suspicious moisture
in the widows eyes as she arose un-
steadily and extended her hand. "I'll
have to be going," she said. I'm
afraid your clerk isn't coming back
at ALL"
She went out softly and the Gov
ernor, standing as one in a dream,
slowly drew from his pocket a wrink-
led envelope and took from it a fad
ed rose.

Like Cedar of OId.-An extraordina-

Like Cedar OF Old.-An eXtraorolna-
ry Illustration of the almost imperish-
able nature Of Washington's red cedar
is furnished in some shingles recently
cut in a Washington mill and sent east
for exhibition purposes. Those Shin
giles, says the Seattle Post-Intelligen-
Ger, were cut from moss-covered
cedar log lying on the ground, and
which had growing over it another ce-
dar tree, the roots Of which encircled
the fallen log. The growing tree had
$50 rings, which indicates, according
to the accepted theory, that 1t was 750
years old. Yet it's growth started af-
ter the tree from which the shingles
were cut had fallen to the ground.
Here was a cedar log, fallen and life
less, which had been exposed to the
weather for not less than $50 years,
and yet was free from rot to the ex-
tent that merchantable shingles could
be sawed from it.
Every man who has worked in the
woods or in clearing land in this state
has seen similar instances Of the abil-
ity of red cedar to resist the ravages
of time. It may be added that tho
shingles from this tree which fell 750
years ago were as sound and in all
respects as good as any cut from
standing timber. Indeed, they could
hardly be distinguished from the ordi
nary run of shingles from a mill save
possibly by their deeper color.

Winnsboro, August z: Mr.. Wins
ment, arrived here Monday and is
now engaged in showing the town
and county authorities some practi-
cal idea. Of road building. A force of
hands started to work on the road
near the passenger depot Monday
morning building a sand and clay
road, and in few days he hopes to
have this short road completed. The
county chainsang was placed at his
disposal and he began work just on
the southern edge Of the town on the
road leading to Columbia, and will
build a mile Of sand and clay road to
serve as al. incentive for the county
board Of commissioners to build 9TH
er such roads or extend the work fur
ther along this road. Mr.. Winslow
was sent here by the government
through the efforts Of the CONNER
cial club and every one Is much pleas
ed with the work he is attempting,
and his visit has already started talk
Of all the streets in the town being
improved in such a way and Main
street being macadamized.
Anderson Daily Mail: DR.. J. B.
Townsend has returned from Abbe-
Vile, where he attended the pellagra
conference held there yesterday.
There were nearly 100 physicians
from all parts Of the state in attend

was discussed. Addresses were made
by DR.. Babcock Of the state hospital
for the insane, DR.. Williams Of the
state board Of health, and DR.. Laven-

vice. Besides these addresses, there
was a general discussion Of the dis
ease, in which a large number Of
the physicians took part. One Of the
most interesting and instructive fea-
lures Of the gathering was the pres
ence of a number Of persons who
were taken to Abbeville by their at
tending physicians. The cases dis
played showed the disease in practi-
cally every stage. In addition to this
a large number Of photographs Of
persons suffering from the disease
were exhibited by DR.. Babcock. These
were taken both In
America and other countries. 1t is

THE LINCOLN CENT.
Big Crush for First Issue; But Enough
For All.
(To be Continued.)

Big Crush for First Issue; But Enough
For All.
The demand for the new Lincoln
cent almost has reached the stage of
a frenzy throughout the country. In
Washington 1t has assumed mobilize
proportions, because of a false report
that the issue was to be recalled. Per-
sons Of all races, sexes, and ages have
become seized with wild speculative
mania. The United States treasury
sustained a three-hour run" yester-
day, unprecedented for tumult, and in
all $4,000 Of the ornate coins were
given out-sS0O worth.
From all the sub-treasuries of the
country requests poured in on the
Philadelphia mint for new supplies
Of the coinage. The San Francisco
mint is making a small quantity,
about $1,000 so far, for the Pacific
slope, but the rest of the country Is
being supplied from Philadelphia
Two hundred and sixty thousand dol
lars of the pennies have been coined
there, and the minting will continue.
There Is no prospect that there will
be a shortage of supply.
According 20 the treasury officials,
the country gets excited over a new
coin nowadays in a manner that must
be described as nothing short of fren-
zy. In anticipation of the issue of
the new pennies, orders have been
flooding the mint and treasury offices.
Banks have joined in the clamorous
appeal, for to them it is becoming an
important business advantage to be
able to supply customers with shining
new money
About 5000 persons, boys and old
men predominating, were awarded
allotments of rs cents at the treasury
in this city yesterday. They began
coming in large numbers shortly be-
fore IL o'clock and kept surging and
clamoring until the gates were per-
emptorily closed at 3 o'clock.
I'm all my years on this post 1 new
er have seen the like" complained
the veteran doOrkeeper when two
o'clock finally came and he could
"shoo" the newsboys away. Il have
had to stand here for hours fighting
people off. 1 wonder what's the mat
ter with the people anyway? They're
getting crazy. 1 haven't had chance
to get bite to eat, and 1 am COM
pletely worn out"
The mob about the corridor and
steps was at times 600 strong, desper-
ately struggling to get to the window
where the coins were issued. At first
all was tumult, for it had never been

ESCAPES FROM sUNKEN BOAT.

Commander of Submarine Shot Up
ward Through 60 Feet of Water.
Midshipman Kenneth Whiting, OF
the submarine Porpoise, has demon
strated that every soul on board
disabled sunken submarine can be
saved except one, says a Washington
dispatch to the Philadelphia Ledger.
A single member of the crew must
necessarily stay behind to operate the
machinery.
If the example Of daring set by Mid
shipman Whiting is followed, this sac
rifce will fall by self-appointment
upon the commanding officer.
Disregarding absolutely the dangers
of death that threatened him, and
wishing only to demonstrate for the
benefit of officers and men who go to
sea in submarines whether it Is pos
sible to escape from them in case
they sink Midshipman Whiting, now
in the Philippines, it is learned to-
lay, had himself elected from the ves-
sci while it rested on the bottom OF
the sea and rose safely to the surface

CHAPTER XVII.
A Faded Rose.

One afternoon a few days before
the election, Governor Crance was
busily engaged in clearing up the
business of his Office when Mrs. Fair
burns card was brought in.
II know you are very busy, Gov
ernor," she said, moment later, as
she entered the room with a smile
and a word of friendly greeting, but
hope you will pardon me this in
trusion. | want to see you about a
matter in which 1 know we both are
deeply interested
1T would be impossible, Madam,
for you to intrude upon me-" replied
the Governor, warmly. You are al
ways welcome and 1 am entirely at
your service"
Thank you," she said. Il will de-
tain you only moment. 1 have here
a message which 1 am going to deliv-
er to Old Mrs. Reynolds and l would
like to talk with you about the case
as it now stands against her husband,
before I see her"
Let me send up the message for
YOU" suggested the Governor.
Thank you; but I don't feel like
troubling you to that extent"
Nonsense" cried the Carpetbag-
ger. Here. Lummers. Take this
not up to the Reynolds plantation
II there is an answer, wait for it," He
took a letter from the widows hand
and hurried the secretary off, glad to
have an opportunity to talk with his
fair visitor alone.
Governor" she began, as soon as
the footsteps of Lummers died away,
"I fully appreciate the nobility Of
character you have displayed toward
Major Reynolds in this campaign and
! believe I understand all that this
course has cost you. 1 want 20 thark
you for what you have done. Few
men in any walk Of life ever W "e

a brave young life at stake. But
Whiting refused to consider the dam
gers Of death that beset him. II there
was chance to escape from sub
marine, he declared he wished to de-
monstrate 1t, so that in case Of acci-
dent it would not be necessary for all
hands to perish, as has been the case
in accidents that have already hap
pened.
Writings feat Is regarded as all the
more heroic because he refused to ask
any Of his subordinates to undertake
the dangerous experiment, but, be-
ing in command, deemed 1t proper for
himself to do it. Accordingly, the
Porpoise was lowered to the bottom
of the bay, near Cavite, and arrange
ments made for the experiment.
When the vessel was resting on the
mud at the bottom, between go and
10 feet deep, he crawled into a torpe-
do tube. The end OF the tube was
closed behind him. In a submarine a
tube is closed or opened on the outside
by a port, which is moved by power
full machinery from within the boat.
There Is a great pressure under wa
ter against the port cover, and 1t
takes a tremendous amount Of power
to force it up. When it opens there
Is great thrush of water There
was extreme danger Of the thrush
imprisoning Whiting and drowning
him-before he could even escape
from the tube.
Whiting got within the tube and
secured a hold on the port. Inside the
officers turned on the power, the
port swinging open. Whiting, hold
ing on for his life, swung out with it
and with powerful strokes swan clear
of the suction Of the inrushing water.
Then he shot up to the surface.
Immediately after the opening Of
the port the officers raised the vessel.
For a second they gazed around, fill
ed with anxiety for Whiting. A few
feet away they saw him heading for
the vessel. They cheered and drag
ged him aboard. The feat Is regard
ed as one of the most remarkable ever
attempted in the navy.
The experiment demonstrates that
the men in a sunken submarine can
be saved, providing Of course, that
the machine is not disarranged. But
it also demonstrates, too, that one OF
the men must die. Some one must re-
main behind to keep the machinery
in operation while the others make
the flight through the tube.

LIMITATIONS OF EDUCATION.
No Increase In Number Of Brain Cells
and Eibres.

No Increase In Number Of Brain Cells
and Fibres.
Every now and then there Is an un-
wise assertion that the educational
system is a failure, and a demand Is
made that it be replaced by an indus
trial education as at TusBegee-the
school to take the place Of the old
fashioned apprenticeship and the
graduates turned. out ready to make a
living-a stride toward socialism,
says the Interstate Medical Journal
Yet there Is just enough anatomical
basis for the criticisms to cause US to
pause and determine whether we are
correct in thrusting higher education
upon those unable to accept 1t, and
whether the money had not better be
spent upon the lower grades beyond
which 'such~a huge proportion Of chill
dren never pass, reserving the higher
courses for the few able to pass rigid
tests as to ability. Perhaps study OF
ethnic types in the high schools, col
leges and universities will throw light
on the subject. 1t Is huge, unculti-
waited field bound to give rich returns,
as we may find that most Of the types
In the higher schools are descendants
Of immigrants from countries wher
there is a large number Of higher
schools per million of population, and
that our lower types have no use for
the higher schools for the same reason
here as in Europe-inability to use
them.
At least one thing Is certain-the
extreme necessity of training what
brain exists in each little citizen. The
public school system must be develop
ed more and more. But we must
strongly combat the popular delusion
that such education causes an effect
in the way Of increased number or
cells and fibres, for Donaldson
C"Growth of the Brain") shows tnat
the cells cease their multiplication be-
fore birth. Even If there were an IN
crease, there is no evidence that such
acquired characteristics are ever
transmitted. Pedagogues quite COM
monty assert that education for two
or three generations will markedly in
crease the intelligence Of the de-
scendants, but there are no facts what
ever upon which to base such an opin-
ion. Indeed, Greece was on the down
grade at her greatest pedagogic per-
iod. Education Is process Of making
a better society of the material at
hand by enhancing the economic value
Of each unit-eugenics does not enter
the question at all. In Europe, appar-
emily, it is intelligence which is devel-
oping education, and not education
which has evolved the larger and bet
ter brains which characterize the high
er races.
