SILK HAT BUSINESS PICKS UP.
Approach of Coronation Causes
Boom in Sale of "TOppers"

London, Feb. 1.-THE first trade to
brighten up under the influence OF tne
approaching coronation is the silk hat
business. The topper" which had been
steadily declining in favor for the past
decade, is now in large demand. 1t is
confidently expected that hatters will
give large orders. 49,
The idea is that the silk hat and frock
coat which has also been considerably
exiled from the world of fashion, will be
necessary for the numerous functions of
the coronation season. The 1911 hat re-
turns to the shape of that of 1850. 1t
has a narrow brim, slightly lower crown.
and is more bell-shaped than last years

PEERS DISAGREE ON REFORM.
Some Prefer Veto Bill to the Plan
of Lord Lansdowne.

London. Feb. 1L-Despite the strong re-
cent declarations of the Times and OBJ
server that the lords will reform them
selves. the Times now announces that the
Unionists will not introduce a self-reform
bill for the House of Lords.
The Liberals say that it is because they
have no scheme upon which the peers
and the other Unionists are agreed. The
backwoodsmen prefer a veto bill to such
annihilation as is proposed by Lord Lans-
downe. Lack of initiative in this matter
exposes the lords to the charge that they
never really meant reform.

In the campaign expense list of SEN
ator George S. Nixon. of Nevada, re-
elected this winter by a legislature of
opposite political faith, appear these
items:
New tires for autos. $4,000
Broken windows. Observation-Disclosures. 1877
The charge for auto tires is easily
enough explained, for he covered 5000
miles during his campaign. and Nevada
roads are as rock strewn as the path
to salvation. But the broken window
item will need elucidation.
Campaigning in Nevada isn't operated
on entirely the same basis as those in
other States. For one thing, they have
the Oregon primary plan. and the legis-
lature is bound to elect the man who
gets the primary Endorsement. And then
an important feature is the treating"
of voters by a candidate, especially in
the mining towns.
One afternoon in Goldfeld. Nixon m
vited all the "boys'' within the sound
OF his voice, regardless of previous party
affiliations, to come along and have some
thing on him. 1t was a thoroughly agree
able proposition to every one, and as the
Senator led the way down the street the
crowd kept growing and carrying all
before it like a glacier. Goldfeld streets
aren't wide. and as everybody~was en-
deavoring to be pretty we'll ttp in front,
there was a constant strain on the show
windows in the stores they were passing
BY the time the Senator had finished
treating" his followers had crushed
1897 worth of windows. all of which
Nixon paid for without murmur.
