WHITE YELLED OVER BLACK
Smart Milliners Give Distinctive
Touch to Their Productions by
Simple Arrangement.

White maline yelled with black ma
line has lately been seen on many OF
the creations of smart milliners. two
immense outstanding loops of the ma
terial being an indispensable part of
the decorations of any hat on which it
appears. Rhinestones are frequently
used with it and are extremely effec-
tive with the sombre tone produced
by the black over white. One hat is
made entirely of the maline and is
trimmed only with the two big loops
and a string Of large rhinestones
around the crown. Another model is
a tiny bowl of stretched black satin,
which is wound about The edge with
folds of maline and adorned at the
back with the two big loops. The
folds that surround the hat are held at
two points by big rings of rhinestones.
Brown maline over white Is also seen,
having been used on one large hat
with crown of dark brown velvet
and brim of gold lace. Voluminous
twisted folds of the maline encircle
the crown and two loops of proper
tons to suit those OF the hat cast
their shadow over it.

Summer skirts.

Advance models in summer skirts
are all slender, usually cut in two or
at the most four pieces, with one gore
overlapping another in an odd way
and making the skirt individual and
pretty. While most models are high
waists, some very new skirts are high
only across the back, wit a belt from
the side seams across the front, a
most admirable arrangement and one
sure to prove successful, for it insures
perfect fit in the front, where
skirts sometimes stretch, while the
extension at the back prevents aay
possible missing Of connections, a
catastrophe in the opinion OF tbs

Aside from the wonder Of his voice.

responding, and aside from her love
of any great music, Alice found her-

Not until the end of the second act.

and Alice drew great breath when

His face was as sensitive as when
she had looked down from her apart

Washington, July 29.---By the
passage today by the house of rep
resentatives of the title bill the
homesteaders of the west are given
a boon, for the measure provides
that their reclamation entries can
pass 10 patent without all pay
ments for water rights being made,
as is the case at the present time.
Congressman Burton L. French
is entitled to a great deal of credit
for the successful passage of the
bill through the house. This meas
ure will make it possible for the
settlers on arid lands to secure
patent to their lands without max
ing all of the payments for their
water. 1t will be of almost untold
benefit to many of the settlers ow-
ing to the fact that they will not
be forced to have their title held
off because they have been unable
to meet their payments.
Copies of the bill will be for
warded to the land offices in the
west. In its passage through the
senate the bill will be in the hands
of Senator William E. Borah.

The J. M. Busby Minstrel Shows.

Busby's Minstrels provided clean
and continuous fun for a good
sized audience last night aud
proved themselves able entertain
ers, good comedians and elegant
dancers. Their band and orches-
ira consist of natural musicians; :;
their costumes are resplendently
gorgeous; their acts are clever and
their solo and ensemble work is of
high class.
The asides and by-plays of the
end. men were side splitting and
kept the audience laughing and
pleased throughout. There are
many fine dancers in the company
and their cake walk was great. The
songs varied from old time ballads,
such as Old Black Joe and Silver
Threads Among the Gold, to up
to-the- minute ragtime and there
was enough variety to suit the
most fastidious. The ssxaphone
quartet made big hit, as did the
other numbers by the musical
four.
1t was a regular minstrel show
all right, and all participants are
colored folks, who know how to
give a nice, clean and pleasing
performance. The audience was
generous with it's applause and
plainly showed its approval by
many peals of laughter.-Genesco

NEEDLESS FEAR
OF A TENEMENT

Rumors that large Japanese tene-
ment building is being planned for
the corner of Emma and Vineyard
streets has been the cause of a good
deal of perturbation among the resi-
dents of that section. According to
Deputy City and County Attorney Mil
verton, however, the anxiety is prob
ably groundless, since two city ordiu-
ances appear to cover the matter in
such way that no such building
could be erected on the spot named.
In the first place an ordinance pro-
vides that no tenement building shall
be erected within 500 feet of a school
building. The site in question is less
than this distance from the Central
Grammar School, and probably of the
/ st. Andrews Prfory. The second or
dinance provides that where tene-
ment house is to be constructed in a
residence neighborhood, the consent
of two-thirds of the property owners
within radius of 500 feet shall first
be obtained. This last would un-
doubtedly be impossible to obtain, did
not the first ordinance effectually bar
the building suggested.
Grounds for the rumor doubtless
originated in the fact that a Japanese
named Susuki has leased a number
of small pieces of property at the
point named, the latest being a fiji,
. teen-year lease on a lot owned by Ella
e Long, the rental being $500 per an

NEXT COME TAX
APPEAL COURTS

Now that all the appeals against
the assessments made by the asses
sors are filed, the next step is for the
court of appeals to take up the mat
ter. This must be started in June,
and the governor is expected soon to
name the members of the different
courts of appeal. There will be five
courts-ene for each judicial district
and the members will probably all
he business men.
Three members, one of whom will
act as chairman, Will constitute each
appeal court The facts in conUsc-
ton with each appeal WIN be stated to
the court by the attorney general Cor
the Territory, while the attorneys nf
the different corporations will give
their side of the question.
There is a right Of appeal from the
appeal courts, and the next step would
he to take the case in dispute to the
supreme court for final decision.

WHAT A. H. FORD
FORGOT TO TELL

Alexander Hume Ford, intrepid eN.
plorer and finder of hidden mountain
trails, is not infallible. Great as is
his versatility, word reached town
this morning of an episode in which
Ford was the central figure in the
limelight and about which he forgot
to mention anything after his return
from the island of Lanai recently.
Although Lanai is only a small place
it is quite large enough for any one
to get lost in, and if you do not lie
lieve this ask Ford, for he knows.
The party that went out to explore
the hidden businesses Of Lanai met
with no excitement until someone no
ticed that a great quiet had fallen
over the place. Inquiries brought to
light the fact that Ford was missing
and Furthermore a search did not
bring to light the lost one.
For five hours Ford played tag with
the scenery. He wandered from the
beaten track and after some harrow.
ing experiences finally struck a fence.
Being wise in his generation the in.
trepid explorer hitched the horse to
said fence and proceeded to follow
along the line on foot. Through
prickly bushes that tore mis- clothes
through thick bushes that got entan
gled in his whiskers and through 4
rainstorm that drenched him to the
skin, Ford foundered his way along
the fence line until finally, after be
ing away FIVE hours, he discovered
home once more.
A muddy, scratched and drippins
figure presented itself at the home
stead and announced that it was Ford
No one would believe it at first unit
finally the figure announced that i
was going to form a Lost-Among-th'
Bushes Club. Then he was taken il
and made presentable again.

MILL EoR PHILIPPINEs.

A 6OO-ton capacity nine-roller mill
for the San Carlos central, to be
erected by local capital, is now being
planned. The mill will be built in
Honolulu, and under the agreement
with the Philippine planters must be
ready for operation by 1914,
The design of the new mill will be
of the latest type, and the plant will
be so constructed that it may be cas-
lily enlarged to twelve-roller mill of
1000 tons daily capacity. The first
assessment of the stock Of the new
company has just been made, and the
designing and contracting for the mill
machinery will be one of the first ex
/ penses.
