Chinese Brigands Beheaded.

Tientsin = The town of Macheng,
some distance in the interior, is be-
sieged by brigands,. Strong armed
bodies are able to get in and out, but
except when accompanied by escorts
running into the thousands, the citi-
zens dare not venture outside the walls
and are compelled to be continually on
the alert to prevent the brigands from
breaking in. In the various attempts
that have been made to stamp out the
outlawry, the authorities have lately
captured and beheaded nearly 1000 of
the outlaws.

FRENCH HATS FOR SUMMER
Simpson Crawford Co. Showing
lamentations for Women.

What will women wear on their heads
when the winter OF our discomfort Is once
more made glorious summer? Will their
hats be large or small, high or low; and
what will they be made Of and with What
will they be trimmed"
From an inspection Of some hats by
famous French makers which have been I'M
ported by the Simpson Crawford Compan,
Sixth avenue and 10Th street, one gets tho
impression that those who can afford II
vii. wear chiefly the finest Of milans, tagals
and iegh5 5rns. Fabrics will be used largely
with them. not only taffeta, but MORE and
beautiful variety Of crepe
The possibilities Of the latter material
were seen in q willie black haiti measured
nearly three-quarters Of yard across
which had all the crown and upper side OF
the brim draped with II in deep rose
shade The trimming. which was entirely
fat. consisted of a wreath OF roses III
shade somewhat deeper than that OF IN"
crepe and a bow of black velvet ribbon
4 new feature in some Of the smaller hats
is an under banc almost like second
brim. This is effectively used in one model
in which both the under band and back
ward rolling brim are puffed with taffeta.
In another the band is concealed by friH
Of lace.
Especially charming WAS Louis Nv hat

little blue taffeta cap, which, with its
ruChed white tulle edge, covered most Of
the hair. band of the taffeta, covered
with q snirring Of white tulle, surrounded
the crown and some crepe roses were scat
tered about Oh the brim. Taffeta ties gave
tho finishing touch OF picturesqueness.
