DIR. COOK RAPs RASMUSSEN.

New York, Dec. 26.-By implica-

Danish explorer, of STOPPING to the
depths of a literary muckraker to
get public attention" DR.. Frederick A.
Cook, the Brooklyn explorer, gave out
reply to Rasmussen's recent attack

Rasmussen's reason to be hostile to
him, the Brooklyn explorer finds in a
snub which he was compelled to ad-

PUT SOCIALISM TO WORK.
Milwaukee, Council Grants Free Wa
ter to Laundresses.

Milwaukee, Dec. 24.-Victor l.. Ber-
ger, alderman at large and social con-
gressman-elect, was defeated by the
socialist contingent in the city council
when he opposed a measure which the
city attorney had declared unconsti-
tutional.
The measure was one to allow wash
erwomen to use city water free of
charge. The socialist city attorney
has declared the measure unconstitu-
tional, but the socialists desired to
pass it any way and did so despite the
objections of Berger
The council adopted seventeen reso-
lutions asking for the passage by the
legislature of that number of special
Milwaukee bills allowing the city to
engage in various enterprises at pres
ent barred by law. The socialists,
among other requests, ask authority
to erect municipal hospitals, ice plants
and packing houses, to conduct any
public utility and in general, to have
complete home rule granted Milwau-
kee instead of the city being forced
to ask legislative approval of every
innovation proposed.

DEATH PROPHECY KILLS HIM.
A Polish Judge the Victim of Auto
Suggestion.

Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 24.-Every
circumstance preceding and attending
the sudden death of Judge Fabricius
of the civil court of this city seems
to prove that auto-suggestion caused
or hurried his death.

rister.
Reymont, widely known Polish
novelist, had been arrested and ac-

the trial postponed or one of his col

resort he asked to be transferred to
another court. 1t was useless; Rey-

days ago.
The judge passed the whole day on
the bench, arrived home at 6 o'clock
and sat down in his study to write a
letter. An hour later a servant enter

ARE STATE ISSUES.
Reappointment and Redistricting Are
Questions in LEGISLATURE.

Pierre, S. d., Dec 26.-The twelfth
legislature of South Dakota, which
will convene at noon on January 3,
1911, will be very strongly republican.
OF course the senate will be presided
over by the lieutenant governor. Lieu
tenant Governor Byrne has had long
legislative service, having been a
member of the first state legislature
and the last two senates.
The reappointment of representa-
tive and senators, following the new
census, is likely to cause the most
interesting fight of the session. The
present house includes 104 members
and the senate as. The constitutional
limit for the two houses is 1856 and As
its limit, having As members, and the
redistribution will cut off some of the
eastern counties and transfer the rep
reSentation to some of the new coun-
ties west of the Missouri. Such reap
portionment would demand that the
about five senators to those of the
other side. The hall of representa-
tives can only comfortably seat 80
members and on such a basis the
west side will get 90. 1t is likely that
no county will give up any part of
its representation without fight,
The 1910 census will also give to
the state a new congressman. This
will cause a districting of the state.
Governor Wesley and Congressman
Martin are favorable to proposition
to include the region west of the Mis-
souri, in one district, and on the east
side, to extend the line between Brook
ings and Moody counties to the river,
and create a new district to the north
and south of this line

woman still loved him and that even

BIG HATS FOR SUMMER, TOO.
Huge Panamas Arriving in Advance
of Hot Weather.


New York, Dec. 24.-If the huge
Panamas that are coming in from the
south can be trusted as prophecies
of what is going to be worn on our
heads for spring, hats are to be big
ger and more ungainly than ever. The
new scarfs of oriental silk printed in
eastern patterns, which are wide and
long, are one of the indications of the
size of the first outing hats of the
season.
But southern styles in summary
garments are usually mere shadow
of winter fashions reproduced in warm
weather fabrics.
Hat shapes of the winter are not so
bad as everybody thought they were
going to be when the fall opened.
Shapes are overwhelming and in some
cases eclipsing, but the notifications
given to them by the milliners and
the character bestowed upon them by
pretty wearers mitigate their most de-
plorable features. And the woman of
plain face, young or old, can always
find becoming covering for her head.
High crowned turbans and fiat pic
ture hats hobnob everywhere. Shapes
show great variety-seldom more so.
The fur trimmed hats are the richest
and nose effective models of the sea
son. All kinds of furs are employed
for them - raccoon, fox, skunk, seal
skin and all the unnamed kinds that
the fur man has produced by skill in
blending Some of the walking hats,
which are mere bands of fur with
crowns of velvet or tapestry, are
smart and jaunty in the extreme. And
single big flower, either white or of
vivid color, often trims them.
Fur is combined with velvet of it's
own shade or with a bright color, roy
al blue, cerise and white being the
most used contrasts with the dark
pelts. The Australian opossum, which
resembles chinchilla in it's gray tones,
Is used to match up gray costumes,

as well as coQuettish. Seldom has a
fad appeared that was SO near to COM
mon sense. There is nothing about
the hats to spoil, whatever the wealth
err. They are light in weight and snug.

Count D'Aulby de Gatigny's real
name is John Daulby. He is the son
of an English tailor and was an art
student in London and Paris before
he went into the profitable business
of relieving rich Americans of surplus
money in return for bogus "old mas
ters' and other works of art"
The count is said to have been al.
lied with a swindling syndicate which
made regular business of selling an
tiques to Americans. 1t included some
real French mobiles, it is said, who
were down on their luck.
De Gatigny married an American
girl fifteen years ago in Boston. She
was Miss Francesca Lunt, daughter of
George Lunt, who was at one time edi-
tor of the Boston Courier. She is now
being tried with CATCHY.
The Gatignys had a chateau on the
outskirts of Tours and posed as men,
bers of the nobility. They are accused
of having begun to sell works of art"
to the Duchess de Choiseul about eight
years ago. The duchess was at that
time Mrs. Charles Paine, the wife of
a successful copper Spectator. When
Paine made a comfortable fortune he
and his wife went to live in Paris.
and they wanted to buy art-the price
made no difference so long as it was
the real thing in art.
De Gatigny and his wife it is
charged, reluctantly consented to sell
some near-old masters from their cas-.
tie at Tours, and before Mrs. Paine
finally woke up to the fact that she was
being swindled, 100000 OF American
copper winnings had found it's way
TO the pockets of the thrifty count"
and his wife.
The duchess brought charges
against De CATCHY and his wife last
spring.
