Black gowns are once more ultra
smart for women of all ages, and
therefore a little talk upon how It
may be worn more becomingly by
the woman past her first youth is
justified.
Black worn next to the face ages
its wearer by emphasizing wrinkles
and "liver spots" and it also robs
the hair of its luster. Dull black Is
more trying than the lustrous ma
terials. Satin, it must be .remem-
bered, however, emphasizes bulk
and makes shoulders inclined to
stoop look still more round.

A new factor, according to the
Beaumont Enterprise, has been in
iected into the BalIinger-PiDchot in
vestigation. This investigation is an
outgrowth of an alleged effort on the
. ,rt of certain parties, to secure the
bulk IF the valuable coal lands of
Alaska, probab bly, the most valuable in
the world at the present time, for q
mere nominal consideration. The
new proposition, that is causing no
small sensation, is an offer on the
part OF John Z. Baitine, Il large mine
owner and capitalist of Seattle, of a
ROYALTY to the government of fifty
cents ton for coal mined on a lease
of 5000 acres of the choice coal lands
in the Kataia and Mount Anuska dis
trict>. Mr. Baltine claims that such
a tonnage roy atty would net the gov
ernment as high as S2,000,0OO per acre
On some of this land, which it is pro-
posed to sell to the Guggenheim, or
some other interests, at nominal
price of SO per acre. This is a note
in the right direction. If the govern
m9nt would follow out some such plan
as this ia regard to all her natural re-
Sources, instead OF giving them in fee
simple to The great money corpora
tions, it would tend to eliminate the
exorbitant price now charged for COR
poration and trust articles, and at the
same time would furnish money enough
to run the government on without the
necessity of placing the heavy burden
of taxation on the people that they
are now bearing.

In the matter of a negro named An

tiary, on a charge of larceny, with
two other negroes, from Jennings. 1t

that be is a juvenile, hence is wrongly
and Illegally imprisoned. The court
made the writ returnable Feb. Is

is but another incident OF the lniquit-
GUS workings of the juvenile court
law that places Young criminals in a
class to themselves, and beyond the
power Of the law. BY the working Of
this law, Andrew Brown, who has
been legally tried and convicted OF
larceny, will in all probability, be
turned Loose to prey upon a defense

at the age of accountability, as inter-
Apreted in this law.
