The Popular Goldenrod.

Coming sometimes as early as June,
they herald tlora's richest pageant. Then
they are lemon-green; but they glow
brightest when the cones of the SUI
machs begin to garnet, when the au-
tumnal dandelions burn, when the cardi-
nal flowers flame by waters which reflect
their vivid jets, and the ereamwhite silk
of the milk-weed floats through the air
and disappears like steam and smoke.
Then, to quote John G. Van Dyke, the
goldenrods are clear, luminous chrome
yellow--a color that holds as distinct
hue for perhaps greater distance than
any other in natures scale Later,
when the land is strewn with fields of
stubble and clover aftermath, when the
winds have put out the lights of most
of the other flowers, the goldenrods be-
come faded and rusty but contrast well
with the quantities of blue asters which
/ grow always close at hand. Suburban

PRISONER TOOK NAP.
Margaret Carter Didn't Plead Because
She Didn't Have Lawyer.

Burlington, Sept. 20 Margaret Car
ter, colored, against whom the special
grand jury found an indictment of guilty
of murder in the first degree, will plead
on Monday afternoon. Although States
Attorney Shaw was prepared TO have her
plead yesterday, Mrs. Carter failed to
secure an attorney. Judge w. II Tay-
lor therefore continued the process.
Mrs. Carter sat in the prisoners dock
ct nthe court room for over two hours
yesterday, the cynosure of all eyes. At
one time, for a few minutes, she en-
joyed a nap. Mr.. Carter, the husband,
was also present.
1t is expected that J. j. Enright will
be her attorney. He intmated yester-
day that insanity might be her defense.
1t is evident that neither the respond
ent nor the husband have money with
which to wage a legal battle. The man
and woman had conference at the jail
late in the afternoon to deliberate on
securing funds and an attorney.
A week ago Monday night Mrs. Carter
shot Pearl Hooper, also eolored, while
the latter was dancing with Mr.. Car
ter in Sam Franklin's dance resort at
the top of Weston's hill. The Hooper
woman was removed to the Fanny AL
len hospital and died the next day. The
following evening Mrs. Carter was APP
pretended in Battery street house. She
admitted the killing.

Wont Accept Appointment.

Washington. d. C., Sept 20.-Harry f.
Nolan, recently appointed secretary to
the legation at Panama, but who was
arrested several days ago in New York
with Marion MacVicker, young Scotch
girl, and later discharged by court,
yesterday formally declined his appoint
ment in the diplomatic service. His
action relieves the state department, Of
ficials say, of some embarrassment.
Nolan, with his father, who came here
from Chicago, conferred with Acting
Secretary Wilson yesterday, and it was
said thre was a probability that Pres
ident Taft might be asked to decide
the question. Later, however, the prob
lem was solved by Nolan declining the
appointment and the following state
ment was issued:
"Mr. Nolan called at the department
of state and explained that although
his conduct had been grossly misrep-
resented and distorted, as shown by the
upshot of the proceedings in New York,
nevertheless, owing to the disagreeable
which had been given that
he felt for motives of delicacy
that he would prefer not to ask for
any appointment at this time"

The Importance of Hat in Woman's
Costume

Edith NJ Weidenfeld says in the fash
ion department of the September Won.
ans Home Companion:
"a new hat | must have says the
average woman each season, and a new
hat she does have, even if she has to
go without some of the necessities to
get it. Now this may seem foolish to
some, but in reality it is very wise.
With a becoming hat, fresh and up-to-
date, even though it is accompanied By
an old suit, provided it is neat and
trim, woman passes as stylish and
well dressed. Let her appear, on the
other hand, in new suit, with an old
hat, detected and hopelessly out of fash,
ion, and she is immediately referred to
as way behind the times. And so it is
that the woman who is wise in dress
matters begins each new season with a
new hat"
