STYLES OF DREssiNe THE NECK.

Never have wash neck fixings been so elaborate as now. Baby Irish, com bined with simple lawn or en1broider ed linen. sounds simple as mere words go, but take q look at the latest ja- bots in these materials. They are like fretted ornaments. bits of carving, so incrusted are they with their exquis- tte laces, 20 perfectly are they made. The newest ja.bot of Irish and lawn or Irish and embroidered linen is a very long affair. It falls in one, two or three drops, square at the bottom, al- most to the waist. At the front it is attached to a, stock of the same by a tailored velvet bow or a handsome brooch of some sort. The more elat,- crate of these fine ffxings range from s15 LID, and it is no uncommon thing to find one priced $30. But, of course, there are pretty limitations in all the styles, and some of these are as low as 9s cents. The matron and staid girl between 25 and 40 are much given to such rich neck garnishes, which Quite young persons also wear them with the dinky little coat suits which are now so smart and appropriate for girls in the late teens.
 The sailor collar is having a new vogue, but though the usual square back is seen the fronts go down to the revers points, these reaching the bust and going lower often. Embroidered linen, with insets of Irish and a little edge of fine valenciennes, Is much ad- mired for these and for a young per son such rich collars would go with almost any gay gown. The real thing. linen, hand embroidery and good lace, is dear-froin $4 up. But here again are charming limitations and though these will not 1aunder as well as the others, persons of moderate means will find them quite acceptable A little round collar lying flat about the neck, of fine embroidered muslin is a dainty affair that has an antiquat- cd look. Some of these charming and quaint little fxings have a flat jabot at the front and fasten at the back: others catch at the front in the usual way and are there finished with a novel brooch. Strange as it may seem, too, if the throat is in good condition. such collars are as suited to the 1nid- dle-aged as to the very youthful They are exactly the sort of thing EveIina and Marianna wear in the Book of Beauty published 50 years ago.
 A novelty in collars for coats is to edge some heavy lace affair on the sailor order with a band of velvet or an edge of chiffon. and if the wrap is 9 fine evening garment there may be q little wreath of colored satin flowers going at the top of the trimming Some of the finer white stocks are also frequently decked with these modish little posies, 3. border of them top- ping the finish to the jabo and per- haps a little knot showing like brooch at the center of the butterfly above. the jabod.

Pedestrian traffic was blocked by

into newspaper row, postofice square
and down Broadway, finally vanishing
into the ungerground station Of the
Hudson tubes.
The boldest of newspaper reporters
fell DOWN on the story, all baking
at the suggestion to inquire the
heroine's name. There were few who
even observed the detail she was a
blonde, that her eyes were blue and
that she wore a black fur coat. The
focus Of attention was on the split
skirt reaching a little below the knee,
disclosing black bloomer-like contri-
vances tightly gathered up about the
ankles.

increase in fertilizers. There will be

Attorney General Lyon, who press

There is no record in the Supreme
Court of the Black case. Notice was
given in the usual form, at the con-
cIuSlOn or the trial in Chester, of an
intention To appeal, and the notice
was entered upon the record Of the
General Sessions Court for that coun-
ty, but no steps to bring the case up
to the Supreme Court had been ta-
ken.
Major Black is barred now forever
from any Nindication he might have
been able TO secure at the hands of
the Court.
The $4,000 fine OF John Black
would go into the Chester county
treasury, inasmuch as the case was
tried there and the conviction in that

will in the future refuse to issue re-
QUESTION papers for criminals wanted
on minor charges. He said that no
more requisition papers would be is
sued for those charged with misde-
meanors unless the counties paid the
cost Of bringing the prisoners back
to the State. When a requistion is
issued the expense of bringing the
prisoner back to the State is paid
out Of the contingent fund of the
governor.
He said that in many cases prison
ers wanted for instance, on the
charge Of assault and battery, were
brought from Indiana or any other
distant State to the sheriff of a coun-
ty in South Carolina and then ac-
quilted. This money for the sheriff
TO go out Of the State is paid out OF
the contingent fund Of the office.
which is $4,000 a year. He said that
he would not for a moment hesitate

criminal wanted on a serious charge.
but that the counties must pay for
the small cases.

wanted.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FORE.
CAST.
Scott Bills Possible Passage Greatly
Rctards Speculation.

New Orleans, Feb 26.-The cotton
market this week will still be under
the shadow Of the Scott bill. the meas
ure now before Congress, which pro-
poses to do away with the future
market altogether. Not until the end
or the week and adjournment of
Congress will the trade known Just
where it stands. For a couple of
weeks now all fresh trading has been
done with the knowledge of a condi-
ton of most unsettled prices prevail
ing and this knowledge will still pre-
vail throughout the week.
Because of the uncertainty over the
Scott bill legitimate features will not
have their true weight. Statistics
Will develop much more strength this
week than they have shown this ses-
sion, but it is doubtful if the leading
bulls will attempt to make use of
them with Congressman still trying to
force the passage Of anti-futures legis-
lation. However, should it be seen
that all chances Of passage Of the
Scott bill were lost the attempt
might be made to interest the outside
public in the market 10y an express
sion of the statistical position of the
staple. Any change in prices from
his is liable to come along toward he
latter part of the week.
The weather over the cotton belt
promises to he warmer this week.
during the early part at least. and
this may lead to more planting Of
seed in the earliest counties of Texas.
Should the market open on rains,
The overSunday crop months will
probably decline, although the de-
cline may not be wide because of the
oVersold condition Of the market and
strength that will come from the old
crop deliveries. The time is fast ap-
preaching when great interest will be
taken in the new crop and develop
ments are bound to sway the prices
strongly one way or another.
This week will see the March po-
sltlon become the spot month, which
means that outsiders will be out of it
and more willing than ever to try to
solve the problem by May and July.
Should conditions be favorable
many traders expect signs of the lead
ing bulls supporting the market of
these two months.
