BLACK VELVET FASHIONABLE
The black velvet hat is pre-eminent-
ly fashionable this season for afternoon
and evening wear. The velvet with
which it is covered, to be really
correct and up to date. must be the
French velvet Of Lyons manufacture.
No longer is the satiny panne effect in
favor; the Lyons velvet is now pre-
ferred for all millinery purposes. And
another material which is one of the
newest and most exclusive of those
used this season is ''velours epingle,"
or uncut velvet. This is to be seen on
a number Of the late rarisian importa-
tions
The black velvet hats for afternoon
wear are very simply trimmed with
either a pun or colored velvet, or a
gull of gold embroidery, with POM
pons of black cut ostrich. or very soft
and long plumes; and especially are the
white plumes favored for this purpose.
FUR HATS
Fur hats are beginning to come
strongly to the front at this season.
Most of them are developed in the
shape OF turbans of one or another of
the accepted types. Several of these
are named for the personages or pc
riods from which their inspiration has
been taken. For instance, there is the
Anne Boleyn turban, the Tudor or
Henry VIII turban, the shake q Ia
Muscovite and the sultan's or mogoI
turban.
A certain amount of velvet is used in
combination with the fur for some OF
these turbans. but perhaps the best
effects are those in which the furs
alone are used The varieties of this
material now most in vogue are skunk
sealskin. sable. marten, fox. lynx, chin
chilla and pony skin The pelts of the
latter, used for millinery are OF course
only those which are softest and most
pliable; some of the cheaper qualities
OF pony skin are almost as bristling
and stin as hair brush. but the finer
grades have the softness and supple

EMPEROR RELIEVES
 AILING SENTRY
Takes Gun From Private
 and Sends Him to Hospital

ST. PETERSBURG. December B. A Russian court bulletin lately record. ed how the czar walked about the Liva- dia palace two hours, wearing the uni. form and carrying the accouterments of an infantry soldier, in order to test the equipment. Another story now has reached St Petersburg to the effect that his majesty, strollin in the park with an adiutant, noticed one of the sentries attacked with a hemorrhage.
 He sent the adiutant to tel the man to quit his post and report himself to the doctor, and the man replied that he dared not, as he was under oath to die rather than leave a post until re- lieved.
 His majesty then approached and told the man the same oath compelled him to obey his emperor, who, under the military code, was empowered to re- Geve a sentry. The czar told hm to surrender his rifle to him and instructed the adjutant to see the man to the barracks and explain that his majesty meanwhile would mount guard until relieved.

CANADA WANTS TO
 KEEP ALL PULPWOOD
Advantage to Be Gained by
 Forbidding Exports

OTTAWA, Ont, December 23.-J. R. Stratton of Peterboro declared in the house of commons tonight that Canada would sell $513,O0O00O worth of paper to the United States and others in the next ten years if the policy could be established of prohibiting the export of all pulpwood from the dominion. 1.-The exports of pulpwood last year amounted to 94,9S6 cords, valued at s. .663, ,qlO ' said Mir. Stratton. "If manufactured into paper here this would have been worth $37 ,749,300 to the Canadian manufacturers. In the next ten years the dominion will export l0,00O,OOO cords if exportation is not stopped. In the shape of pulpwood this will be worth $57 100000, while if man
 ufactured into paper here it would bring to Canada $5l3,000000.
 "This shows absolutely that the pol icy ought to be adopted of having our pulpwood manufactured within our own country In allowing it to be exported 10 the United States great advantage is being lost to Canadian capital and Canadian labor"
 The resolution bearing upon the sub ject of prohibition has not come to an issue in the house of commons.

NEW YORK, December 23,--Al- though Mrs. Caroline B. Martin, moth CT of Ocey Snead, has been indicted with her two sisters for the murder of the East Orange bathtub victim, the New Jersey authorities have not yet obtained possession of Mrs. Martin, and she is determined not to be taken from New York without fight.
 Some evidence presented to the grand jury in support of the charge of plot existing against Mrs. Ocey Snead be- came known today. A point was made to show that letters written by Mrs. Snead to her absent husband were un- mailed and that letters to her were in terrupted.
 In the meanwhile it was alleged the sick woman was told her husband was dead and that she had nothing to live for,

Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford May Tell How Great Sum
 Was Expended

CINCINNATI, Ohio, December 23.- A trial that will be watched with inter est all over the country will begin be- fore Judge Woodmansee in the criminal court here Monday, when Mrs. Jean ette Stewart Ford, who has been styled the "queen of blackmaiIers, will be placed on trial on charge of attempt, ing to blackmail Charles l.. Warriner, ex-treasurer of the Big Four railroad, who, it is alleged, stole $643, ,000 from the company.
 The mystery of how one subordinate offieisl could help himself to more than half million dollars of the railroad company money will probably be dis closed for the first time, but of still greater interest to the public will be the story of intrigue, love and tragedy stretching back over ten years and said to involve a dozen men of high stand ing in business and social affairs, which the trial is expected to reveal through evidence which will be introduced in regard to the extraordinary career of the, woman in the case.
 The career of the woman who next week is to face the judge and jury reads like TOmans--a romance of love and death, intrigue, suicide and blackmail, According to his own statement, Warri- ner gave the woman, who was abso- lutely nothing to him, sums aggregat- ing S20O,000 to keep silence.
 Mrs Ford is a native of Ohio and has passed the greater part of her life in Cincinnati, with periodical trips to Chi cago or New York for ''good time. While she was still in her teens her father died, leaving her fortune of $S5, 5,000 Her extravagant mode of liv- ing soon exhausted that fortune. Then she met Billy" Ford, a man well known about town, with whom she fell in love and whom she claims as the father of her child. One of the mys- teries of her life is the fact that she did not marry Ford but did marry his brother, who later secured a divorce from her. Then she met Edgar $, Cooke, man of family, who was em-

TO TRY WOMAN IN MARINER
 BIG FOUR ENTERTAINMENT CASE

ployed in the Big Four offices with Mariner.
 Things went smoothly for time un 7 til Cooke desired to rid himself of the woman, Then the trouble began. Cooke is alleged to have discovered that something was wrong with Warri- ner s books and to have told Mrs. Ford. According to Warriner s statements the woman then used her knowledge to ex- tort money from him, her demands in creasiHg in frequency and amount until the total reached into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 Hints have been dropped that hither. to unknown chapters in the story of alleged theft and blaclmail will be re. vealed when Mrs. Ford is placed on trial. It has been intimated that the woman did not act alone in her alleged blackmailing operation, but so far she is the only one against whom direct charges have been made. That the ac- cused woman is holding something up her sleeve,'' as she has intimated more than once since her arrest, is be- lieved probable by those who have fol lowed the case closely. This is one of the features in the ease that has aroused great interest in the coming trial.
 Mrs. Ford s perfect self possession and cool demeanor have been a cause for wonder on the part of all who have come in contact with her since her arrest. Never for moment has she shown any signs of break down. Since her release on bail she has taken her daily drives about the city expensive automobile and has never left off in any particular the luxurious life that has been here for many years past.
 Meanwhile Warriner, the alleged de- faulter, who is said to have given Mrs. Ford as much as $25, ,000 at a time, was lodged in cell because he found it impossible to secure bail in the sum of $20,000. Warriner says he is anxious that the whole story be told. And the indications are that good part of the story will be told when Mrs. Ford is put on trial next week.

feating ]. c. Parke by 6-3, So. 6-3,
and W. J. Clothier beating c. P Dixon
by 6-3. 8-1. Ga These events, together
with those OF the double matches Mon
day and the other two singles last Sat
urday. give America five wins to none
for England. The double was the only
holly contested match, the Englishmen
falling to win a set in the singles. A
curious feature Of the play yesterday
was the fact that the point, game and
set summary of both matches was iden-
teal
In the Parke-Larned match superior
steadiness and accuracy of the American
champion were noteworthy, in view Of
the fact that such qualities have not al
ways been his specialties. Parkes serv-
ice was ineffective and his backhand was
by no means so strong as his forehand
The Clothier-Dixon match was another
one-lnan affair. the American outplaying
the Englshman at every point. Clothier
contented himself with remaining in the
back court winning his points. seldom
coming up to the net though when he
did his smashing was deadly.
The series. while we'll attended and
managed, has been disappointing be-
cause Of the weak resistance made by the
visitors in the singles. Messrs. Dixon and
Parke will sail for England today on
in Philadelphia for some time and take
part in the Philadelphia championship
