MILLINERY IN COURT ROOM
Modern Hats Conceal tho Eyes Of

When deDigning styles in hats pos.
sibly milliners do not consider that

appreciate It II they did.
When woman under suspicion
takes the oath It is desirable to look
her In the eye." said a lawyer. but
how can anybody look into the eye of
woman who has on a stylish hat?
The court Is in luck II he can see her
mouth and the top end of her nose.
Also 1t offends the dignity Of the court
for woman to remove her hat; con-
sequently they founder between the
horns OF very serious dilemma. An
order to tilt her hat back is also the
precursor Of difficulties. because the
hat Is clamped down with so many
pins that IT won't tilt.
Still the eyes of a woman before
the bar Of justice must be looked at.
and under repeated exhortations she
reluctantly removes the pins and
shoves her hat back. But that panto.
mime results in waste Of time and
loss Of temper all around. In order
to oSviate these evils 1t seems to me
that milliners would better busy them.

NEW DIRECTORIES

Telephone Company Puts Out BOOB
That Is Both Wider and Thin
ner Than Old Ones.

The Central Union Telephone COM
pany is busy distributing new tele-
phone directories which possess the
distinction of being both wider and
thinner than the old ones. This is
not so improbable as it sounds when
it is explained that tie books are
wider and longer and accordingly not
SO thick as was necessary under the
old system OF indexing the subscrib-
ers. a metropolitan feature of the
new books is that the names are ar
ranged in double column, that is two
columns on each page and according
~ 1t is easier to find a required
name.

A THIEF STOLE
DRUMMER'S TRUNK
REMOVED 1T FROM oGLETHoRPE
PLATFORM BEFORE 1T COULD
BE MOVED TO DEPOT.

All kinds of robberies are being re-
ported in Brunswick these days. The
thieves who are operating seem to
be bold in the work and evident
ly do not fear the result which would
follow their arrest.
Wednesday night a trunk, belonging
to G. V. O'Grady, travelling sales
man, stopping at the Oglethorpe hotel,
was stolen in the boldest kind of
fashion, and although two negroes are
in Jail charged with the robbery, no
conclusive evidence has yet been Sc
cured against them.
Mr. O'Grady spent Wednesday in
the city visiting the trade and was to
have left the city Wednesday night.
His trunk was removed from his room
at the hotel to the platform in the
rear of the hostelry in order to be
transferred to the depot, but before
dray could remove it some slick
thief had taken charge. When a
search started the trunk could not
be located and consequently Mr..
O'Grady had to remain over in the
city.
The case was reported to the police
and yesterday the trunk was round
Just back of the hotel, where it had
been carried by the party who stole
it, The locks had been broken and
most of the articles stolen. The drum
mer had about $15 worth of sample
soap in the trunk and it was all taken,
together with twelve or fifteen watch
fobs, which were also stolen, and the
trunk was left in the rear of the hotel.
Yesterday Frank Outlaw and Henry
Dixon 10th were arrested, charged
with the robbery. A clue was secured
which led to their arrest, but no evi-
dence has yet been secured against
them and unless something is learned
today both negroes will be released.
In the meantime the drummer is un-
able to continue on his trip as he has
no samples with which to do business
and it will be several days before he
can secure a new supply of samples
from his house.

Stole Number of Articles, Which He
Sold in city-officer Leaves for the
Prisoner.

Will Postell, negro who has no
doubt been doing considerable of the
robbing which has been reported in
the city recently, was arrested yester-
day while on a Coast Line passenger
train enroute to Albany. He is now
being held in the Jail at that city and
will be returned to the city today and
held until the next session of the su-
perior court, when he will have to
answer for several robberies with
which he is charged.
Postell was located yesterday after
the robbery at the home of F. D. Aiken
had been reported to the police Off
GERS Articles which he had stolen
from the Aiken residence were located
and it was learned that Postell was
the negro who had either pawned or
sold them. The officers also learned
that he left the city on the early
morning Coast Line train and the con-
ductor was wired to arrest and hold
the negro until an officer from this
city could reach Albany.
The family of Mr. Aiken is spend
ing the summer on ST. Simon and
consequently the home on Union
street is closed. When Mr.. Aiken Wis
tied his home yesterday he discov-
cred that it had been entered and a
number of articles stolen. Among
them was a valuable shotgun, clothes
reported to the police and the shot
gun was found at Monk street res.

was soon learned that he left the city
on the Coast Line train for Albany

ceived in the city later in the day
stated that the negro had been ar
rested and was being held in that city
and an officer left here last night for

1t also developed during the day
that Postell had stolen other articles
from people in the city. He was EN-.
ployed at the livery stable of H. s.
McCrary. During the week the office
of Attorney R. E. Dart has been re-
moved and in the transfer of the
things, from his office a valuable re
volver was stolen, and it was believed
that some of the negroes who assisted
in the moving had stolen it. Yes
terday the revolver was found and il
was learned that Postell. who was as
sisting in the work, had also sold il
to a negro on Monk street
From all indications. Postell has
committed more than these two rob
berries in the city and the chances are
that he will serve long term on the
chaingang.
