APRON TUNIC STYLE
POPULAR IN PARIS

The apron tunic. a style akin to the
moyen-age, has become very popular
in Paris. other skirts are themselves
drsped and tied at the back into knots
or bows. Some gowns are trimmed with
wide scarfs that cross IN the front OF
the bodice, pass round the waist, hang
down the back and then tie on line
with the knees.
The surplice idea seems TO have re-
turned in newest form, for on some
Of the newest gowns the material is
caught on each shoulder, crossed az the
bust and then brought under the arms
20 a point below the waist line in the
back, where a large knct Is made.
The crossing of the material at the
front makes a V-shaped line, TO be filled
IN by lace for the yoke, and very often
the collar Is omitted.

struction of the feminine machine, and,
in consequence, it often runs eratically.
sometimes with scarcely sufficient mo-

and again with a whirl and rush that
threatens to wreck the delicate con-
trivance. And yet men, looking on and
wondering, would not have it other

Steel TRADE

NEW YORK, May 5.-The most i'm

| trade is that the railroads. encou:-

have placed large orders for structural
material, aggregating a little over
100000 tons, in April, or little more
than half of the total fabricated steel
contracts placed last month Even or
ders for rails have been the most gen
erous in over year; the April tonnage
was about 100000 tons. For both light
and heavy material new orders and
specifications on contracts have stead
lily increased. The steel corporatip1
plants last week were running &C -

ly better. Several of them were very
aggressive for business last week, ard
secured a larger proportion of the ton
mage going.
The Steel corporations subsidiaries
are less aggressive from price stand
point.
Contracts for about $4,000 tons of
pig iron were placed in the eastern
district last week, and the April total
caIae IN oil dic+rihutiva markets are
estimated at somewhat over 100000
tons. AS a result of the heavy buying,
prices have advanced so cents to 70
cents per ton north and south. Elec-
trical machinery manufacturers ana
malleable founders have been the
largest buyers in the east, but most
all foundry interests have been repre-
| sented.

SOME FINE POTATOES.
Hattiesburg Business Man Demon
strates What Can Be Done With
Irish Potatoes.

Mr.. w. NJ. Conner, of this city,
brought some Irish potatoes to the
News office yesterday, which he
raised in his garden, and which con-
clusively demonstrates that there is
no reason why potatoes cannot be
raised for the early market and sold
at very profitable prices, especially
if they will produce in such quaint
ties as Mr.. Corners experience indi-
Gates.
These potatoes were planted in Jan
uary in the dark of the moon" and
they were bic enough to eat by the
10th of April. They are of a size
now that they would bring top prices
in the northern markets. They ARE
of the Bliss Triumph variety and
Mr.. Conner says thta at the rate OF
production in his garden potatoes can
be raised and sold at a profit, even
though the producer should only get
so cents per bushel.
Mr.. Conner is very certain that po-
tatoes should be planted in the dark
of the moon and tells of a case
where man planted part of his pota-
toes in the dark of the moon" and on
account of storm was compelled to
wait several days and finished in
light period. Now TO demonstrate
the truth of the claim, his first pota-
toes are producing well, while the last
planting is only fine lot of vines
without any potatoes.
