At a concert which took place in
the large hall of the Royal museum at
Stuttgart, recently, at which the king
and queen of Wurtemberg were
present, no instruments were used

Kansas City will be all dressed up this fall and winter if the imports indicate anything, says the Kansas City Journal. Never before in it's his tory has the local customs house clear ed so much millinery from European countries. The bills are as big as the bonnets and they are enormous.
 From eight to twenty cases arrive every day in the week in bond, each case measuring five feet on all sides. This has been going on for ten weeks. Over 900 of these great cases have been cleared already
 The manifests show the new hats are costing from francs to 150 francs. or from about $50 to $30 apiece. The $30 lid has to pay 60 per cent plus $10, making the thing cost S4S before the Kansas City milliner comes in. After that the ceiling is the limit or ought to be. Ben Warner, customs house officer, has been placed in charge of the bonnet importations.
