sANER MILLINERY
IN EASTER PARADE.
Mannish Derby Affected by Many New

New York. April 7--Easter here was
nearly half spoiled by rain. A morning
sun brought out the usual large crowds

musical programmes and more eXtrav-

noted but by the noon hour the shadow
of a storm was cast on Fifth avenue
promenaders and at one o'clock the
substance of it fell in the shape of
showers which sent fashion scurrying
to cover. Gusts took off the hats Of
hundreds of men and the women had to
reinforce the anchorage Of their head
gear by holding on.
BY two o'clock when the parade is
usually at its height, the long
thoroughfare was deserted except for
brave visitors to town who even ven
tured to ride on bus tops in the rain,

headgear which were abundant, trim

single stick up" Of feathers, a single
bow of ribbons, or a few flowers The
mannsh derby was affected by many
women. Most of the suits were of
plain colors with grays predominating
and with buttons used to an unusual
extent in trimmings.
More men appeared in silk hats and
cutaWays than ever. Canes were popu-

melting snow in the mountains and
heavy rain, the Winooski river over
flowed it's banks today. Main and
State streets in this city are inundated

the food struck Montpelier. Then the
water poured over the flooring of the
Main street bridge and down through
Main and State streets Both are
largely business streets though one end
Of State street has a. number of resi-
dences. As in Barre, cellars were
soon flooded and the streets made al
most impossible. Little ice is being
carried by the flood so that the damage
thus far has been confined mainly to
the wetting Of stocks Of goods in store
cellars.
Telegraph communication was inter
rupted on account of the flooding Of
the basement of the Western Union
office.
As midnight approached the river
continued to rise and the flooded area
was extended accordingly. In this city
alone the damage is at least $4,000,
principally on stocks, merchandise
stored in easements and lower floors
of the business structures. The Mont
