The Hats the Thing.

The formal opening of the hat depart
ment at Morgan-Verhine's, under the
direction of Miss Trudie Pardue and
Miss Dale, of st. Louis, was held Friday
and Saturday afternoons. An attractive
assortment of street hats, besides others,
were shown. The street hat BETTING
the regulation and regulation priced
coat suit seems to predominant in all
displays, though Miss Lewis at Curlin's,
shows many beautiful dress hats among
which the use of tulle and chiffon for
the under brim is seen. This softens
the face and is becoming to the young,
fluffy haired person, but woe betide the
lady with the sharp expression and per-
pendicular hair. Not even tulle Innings
will do her good or help her. An array
of soldierly looking little hats with
things sticking straight up in front and
on the side will be remarked on the
street this winter. The suffragette hat
is on its way from the East, and Mr..
RooSevelt's trip through the State may
bring few forth. Needless to say. they
are very severe looking with that John

Miss O'Flannery, of Indianapolis, who
is with Mrs. Arm this season. has
brought pretty new ideas of the buckle
and pressed plume trimming for the late
street hats. A perfectly plain shape,
whose only trimming is plume pressed
into the shape of question mark, is
found among the specialties here. Old
shades have changed their names. What
we called cerise last year is now 'fusha. "
What we called wisteria is now ''pale
plum" A color known as brass" is
cross between sage green and canary,
out of course there are different kinds
Of brass and different shades.

Wharf Again Leased.

Hickman, KY, Sept. 22.-The city
of Hickman has leased to the Lee Line
Steamers Company, of Memphis, the
company's present landing place here at
Hickman for another ten years. The
city council at first refused to let them
release this landing as they had had it
before, but finally granted it to them,
and the mayor has signed the ordinance.
The Lee line wharf was completely de-
stroyed here during the high waters of
April, at first being lifted from its foun-
dations and sinking down and later
breaking to pieces and floating down
the river. The company now has the
foundation laid for new wharf, which
will be an up-to-date and commodious
structure, with living rooms also for the
agent. The work on this new wharf
has been started and will be pushed
right ahead to completion before bad
weather sets in, and it will be much
better and bigger one than the former
wharf.

Judge Jones Withdraws.

Dresden, Tenn, Sept. 20. -Judge Jo-
seph E. Jones, of Dresden, who became
famous through his prosecution of the
Nightriders of the Reelfoot Lake dis
trict, issued statement tonight with
drawing from the Democratic Senatorial
primary to be held on Nov. 5. In his
statement Judge Jones declares that the
primary is to be dominated by the liquor
interests of Tennessee.
His statement follows
To the Democrats of Tennessee:
During the brief canvass for the
Senatorial nomination I have become
thoroughly convinced that very large
number of the Democrats of the State
who believe in the sentiments expressed
by me against liquor domination and in
favor of law enforcement and have APP
plauded them wherever have gone, will
not, for good and satisfactory reasons,
vote in the November primary.
They are OF the opinion, and I have
painfully reached the same conclusion,
that the purpose in inserting the liquor
plank in the platform was to make fur
Their participation in party conventions
and primaries in Tennessee so odious
that none but those dominated, in
league with and devotees of the liquor
interests, with few exceptions, would en-
ter them. This would result in the
leader and exponent of those ideas
meeting success in the primary partici-
pated in by his followers alone, with a
few others for regularity's sake. The
party boss has cracked his whip and
driven men in Tennessee for regulari-
TVS sake sufficiently long.
AGAINST SALOON.
My criticism of the liquor plank in
the platform and denunciation of the
timid, shrinking, cowardly policy of
party crawling at the feet Of a lot of sa-
loon criminals in the cities, who refuse
to acknowledge the sovereignty of Ten
nessee and her laws, has given offense
to some who are now in brief party
authority in this State, and the manip-
ulators 0f their intaract
l have spoken truths that will live
and be applied to public affairs by hon
orable men when petty politicians and
time-servers will be no more.
With these facts in mind, have de-
termined not to qualify or be candidate
for the Senatorial nomination in the No
vember primary. trust that my efforts
may contribute in arousing the whole
people of the State to the Importance of
the Senatorial office and the duty of fill
ing itwith some one who will reflect hon
or upon the State, though it may be at
the cost of refusing to take the lash from
the party boss. To fearlessIy express
sound and correct views as to public
matters in times like these gives me
more pleasure than to sit in the Senate
by abating one jot or title.
l thank my friends over the State for
proffered support and many graceful
courtesles. JOSEPH E. JONES.

RESIGNS POSITION
Commander of the Grand Army of

costa Quits.
NEWS NOTES OF THE SUBURB

Col. A. B. Frisbie, who for the past ten
years, has been commander OF John A.
Logan Post, No. Is, Grand Army of the
Republic, of Anacostia, and an active
member OF the order in the District, has
resigned his position in charge of the To-
cal post, and his duties hereafter will be
undertaken by David c. Fountain, Of
East Washington Heights. a longtime
member OF Logan Post. In this connec-
ton II has also been announced that the
annual inspection of the post will be held
on December IT in Grand Army Hall, in
Washington, instead of holding these
exercises in Anacostia- For some time
members of the local post has been con-
sidering the advisability of disbanding
and joining ranks with one of the strong
er posts in the city, and It is likely that
before many more months this step will
be taken. The post was organized in 1899
with over 100 members, but to-day there
are hardly ten active members remain
ing. Cooperation with another post, 1t is
believed, would work to advantage to the
order at large.
The police of the Eleventh Precinct
are making a thorough investigation OF
tbs affair which attracted much atten-
tion the past week. when a stray dog
bit two persons in Anacostia and was
later shot by Officer Ogle. The dogs
head was sent to the Bureau of Animal
Industry and a report of the examina-
ton disclosed the fact that the dog
had rabies. AS a result. the two persons
bitten have been directed to report to
the Hygienic Laboratory for treatment.
The Public Improvement Association
OF Congress Heights at its meeting, to
be held in the Town Hall on next Tues
day evening", will listen to interesting

inG the obtaining of a public library for

Carroll for a public park. These two
matters are of extreme Importance to
the citizens of that community, as they
feel with these two improvements the
association will have accomplished what
it set out to do by the year 1915 Presi-
dent W. W. Price will conduct the meet
ing.
