Some new tailored hats In which the

soul are Of wolfe stretched plainly over
wide shapes made OF hemp straw. One
OF these models was Of old rose wolfe
over dark navy blue straw, the latter
showing only on the under side Of the
brim. The trimming was bow OF

hat Of gray hemp straw covered with

with little scarf Of gray wolfe

Other hats built on about the same
plan as those described are covered
with linen in a number Of beautiful

of these distinguished men who have

are members, has added a popular

MODERN WOMEN CAR1CATUREs

Yale Professor Compares Them With

A New Haven dispatch says: eff
you could take the twenty best
formed and looking women you could
find today and stand them up beside
Grecian women of old the modern
women would look like caricatures. -
This remark by Prof. William
Lyon Phelps of Yale before a class
of graduate English students caused
CONSERVATION among women in the
gathering. The chuckles which
started in the male portion of the
audience quickly ceased when the
professor added that if the best look
ing men who walked the campus
were placed beside the gladiators of
the early days they would suffer
equally with their sisters of today.
Prof. Phelps also remarked that
young woman of today, even if she
has hundred admirers, would have
little chance with an original Gre
clan model.

MUST CLIP BEES WINGS.
How One Farmer Came Back at An
other Who Complained.

A. Philander an Indiana farmer,
who has some growing wheat, called
at the attorneys office a few days
ago and complained that he had a
neighbor, Samuel Eusprit, whose
chickens were eating his wheat He
wished a damage suit filed, but the
attorney decided that a letter would
do just as we'll. Accordingly, the
lawyer wrote the neighbor letter.
The attorney advised the man to clip
the wings of his chickens.
The next day the farmer, who own
ed the wheat, received a letter from
his neighbor. The neighbor said he
had clipped the wings of his chick
ems. Then he brought up a new sub
ject.
He called attention to the fact that
the farmer owned several stands of
bees, and he said that he knew these
bees had for several years stolen
honey from his flowers, clover bios
SONS and fruit trees. Now he wished
the nuisance stopped.
Unless the neighbor clipped the
wings of his bees and kept them at
home, he declared, he would file an
action for damages.

CONFEDERATE HALF DOLLAR
COIN BRINGS A SMALL FORTUNE
IN NEW YORK CITY.
The Only One Whose Whereabouts
Is Known Sells at Auction
For So. 785.

Is IAnOWn OclS at AuCllOn
For $3,785.
NEW YORK.-For s3,785 the
only confederate half dollar whose
whereabouts are known here was
sold at the auction of coins held in
the Elder Rooms, 80 West Twenty
Third street.
The name of the buyer is a secret,
and T. L. Elder bought the coin in
under the name of Eagle"
Although Mr.. Elder refused to
give out the name of the buyer he
limited that it was u wealthy New
York collector. He said the coin
would now be placed in a private
collection and would never again be
offered for sale. Several collectors
implied that the purchaser of the
rare coin was ]. Pierpont Morgan.
The piece brought the fourth largest
price ever paid for a coin in this
country.
In February, 1861, the New Or
leans mint fell into the hands of the
confederates. After some dies were
prepared by A. H. M. Patterson on
the orders of the confederate gov
eminent four pieces were struck.
OF these four one was sent to JEFF
ferson Davis, one to Professor Rid
dell of the University of Louisiana,
one to DR.. E. Almes of New Orleans,
and one was retained by B. F. Taylor,
the chief coiner. No more coins
were ever made from this die.
The present coin is thought to be
the one in possession of Jefferson
Davis when he was captured. 1t
first came to light in Philadelphia
in 1879, when it was purchased by
J. w. Scott. 1t was last owned by
Edgar Adams of Brooklyn. 1t looks
exactly like United States half dol
lar on the side bearing the figure of
Liberty, but on the reverse side is
shield in the center with seven
stars and seven bars. Around the
shield is a wreath of the cotton plant
and the stock of sugar cane. The
bidding on the piece started at ST.
600 and jumped up to the price that
it was sold for at $500 a bid.
A United States IS gold piece of
1873 brought $340, and was bought
by Mr.. Elder under the name of
Wasp" the purchaser refusing to
give his name. Another United
States s. gold piece of 1892 was
bought under the same name. The
total proceeds of the sale were about
$4,000.
