that is sure to please.
A charming little gown seen recent

gfV9 HE use of birds and wings in
millinery has, in great measure,
given way to the use OF fancy
feathers, that is, fancy feather
pieces put together by the manufac-
turers in many forms, such as bands,
pompons, cockades, etc. Fashion
takes more kindly to the plumage OF
birds mounted in ways which do not
suggest the bird at all. But the lik-
ing for fancy feathers increases with
such vigor that there is no sign in
sight pointing toward it's waning.
The greater number Of wings dis
played in millinery are "made wings"
Plumage is selected and sewed to a
foundation to form them. Sometimes
feathers are pasted instead of being
sewed, but this is unsatisfactory to
the wearer. Exposure to rain, and
even moisture causes them to loosen
and fall off. AS wings are especially
liked for street hats, this is a fault
that cannot be tolerated. Sewed

Black and white is the color COM

with a touch of gilt to enliven it. The
hat is covered with black velvet
draped on the left side, and knotted
in irregular loops and one long end.
Around the crown a scarf on white
satin is draped, the ends of this also

bottom edge of the scarf is sewed a
narrow white silk fringe and around
the top a narrow strip Of gilt lace.
This is a hat which could be worn

pretty with all, owing to its neutrality
of color.

He sat down by her. She began to

That's all?"
"Yes. why who should be?"
Dan didn't follow up his jealous sus-
picion. but asked in tone almost
paternal and softly confidential:
"EIow are your finances getting on?'
Her lips curved in friendly smile.
But she made a dismissing gesture
with her frail little hand.
"Oh. I'm all right; Higgins told me
you had some news about my poor
people"
The fact that she did not take up
the financial subject made him un-
pleasantly sure that her wants had

wings are to be chosen. These will
last q season out, which is all one ex-
poets or wants OF item. Wings are
short lived as compared to some 9th
er feather decorations. The wind
catches and strains them because they
are more rigid and have a greater sur
face than other feathers.
But much depends upon the way in
which they are mounted on the hat.
They may oe so placed that the crown
OF the hat will support them. In US
ing theIh for trimming, therefore, two
things are to be kept in view the be-
comihgness of poise and it's stability.
Fer certain effects nothing quite
takes the place of wing trimming.
Tie arrival of our July and August
outing millinery and the hats pre-
pared for our z,tdwinter northern
tourists demonstrate that wings are
staple in the world of millinery trim

PLAYERS MAY BALKs AT
 PAYING SIS A YEAR DUES
One Reason Why New Baseball Fraternity Is Not Likely to
 Succeed.

The recently incorporated Baseball Players Fraternity is now the big talk of the fans. outside of the coming worlds series Some say that the formation of this body will eventually lead to war, while others declare that it will die a natural death
 The obstacle in the way of the sue cess of the organization is the assess ment of the players. It is said that the 236 players already enrolled have been asked to pay dues of SIS apiece annually, which would mean total of S5,148.
 If there is anything the modern player hates to do it is to Rart with money. The player of to-day is a great contrast to the old timer who liked nothing better than to throw his money away. Nowadays they use all their coin buying farms, orchards, ga- rages, Sc, and they don't part a cent that won't bring them back it's equiv alent at least.
 It is believed that this assessment thing will cause the death of the new union. If this doesn't cause it's de- mise it is said that a war with the magnates will mean the knockout punch. It is understood that the first thing the players will ask for is a representation on the National Com mission, which request will most like Iy be refused with the result that war will be started, with the usual result-the triumph of capital over la bor

BENDIGO-COUNTF FIGHT
 WENT TO 93 ROUNDS.

One of the greatest battles during
 the first half of the last century was
 three years ago, between w. Thompr
 son. who fought under the name of
 Bendigo, and Ben Caunt. Bendlgo
 had been the champion of England
 for ten years Jem Ward had re- tired the undefeated champion, in 1s36, and his title was claimed by Daaf Burke Rendigo challenged
 Burke's right to the honor, and Jem Ward offered belt emblematic of the spugilistic supremacy of the world, to the victor. Bendigo was the vic tor after remarkable and bloody
 contest and had little trouble keep ing the belt until he met Ben Caunt in 1849. Caunt was giant in stature and had shown himself capante or assimilating a tremendous amount or punishment. All of the sporting blcods of London assem- bled about the ringside and no i1eonsiderable pro- portion of the spectators were men of title. A fortune was waged on the result. When the men entered the ring the supporters of Caunt felt that their money was as good as won, for he loomed above the champion like a skyscraper over cottage. me blood started to flow early in the battle. and by the fiftieth round both men were bathed in their own hero and were wallowing about ring stained red with blood. Caunt had victory in his grasp at one time, and the Bendigo men, seeing that the champion was on his last legs, started rough house. They Swarmed into the ring. shouting and cursing and fighting among themselves, and the principals were forced to leave the ring for some time. Bendigo decOV- cred during the interval and when the mill was resumed he was compar lively fresh. From that time on ne had the shade, but it is doubtful if he would have won had not the giant perpetrated a foul The end came in the ninety-third round, after two hours and ten minutes of actual fight al~i1x tf-nh soon after, and the title was bandied a bout between Tass Parker, Perry the Tipton SIasher and Harry Broome until 1857, when the great Tom Say CTS won the championship.

ARREST MAN
 FOR DEATH OF
 BUGS RAYMOND

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Arthur Bugs Raymond, former pitcher for the Giants and the Cardinals, did not die from heart disease last Saturday as was first supposed, but from a frac- tured skull. Alta ches of the Coroner's office made this discovery yesterday at post-mortena examination of Rayn ond's body. Detectives were i'm mediat te1y put on the case, and Fred Cigranz, 23 years old, an acquaint- taken into custody Cigranz confessed that he assaulted Raymond on Sun day, September l, at seni-p profes- s1onal ball game played in ElSdon, Hi.
 Cigranz said Raymond was a spec tator at the game and that some one threw a piece of pottery which struck the pitcher in the face. Raymond granz with it, and in the fight that followed Raymond was knocked doWn and kicked in the head several times.
 Cigranz said he had no idea that Raymond was seriously injured. He told the police he had known the pitcher for fifteen years. While Ci- granz was being taken to a police mond passed and the prisoner wept as he told the story of the assault.
 At the Coroner's inquest pr. Springer reported that Raymond died from cerebral hemorrhage, due to a fracture of the skull. Cigranz's ar rest followed. He will be held pend ing the outcome of the inquest. Ray nond was found dead in a downtown hotel last Saturday, and it was at caused by heart disease, aggravated by heat.

FRANKIE BURNS
 IS WINNER OVER
 ONE ROUND HOGAN

| San Francisco. Sept. 10-Frankie Burns of Oakland knocked out One Round Hogan in the tenth round of a scheduled twenty round fight yester- day afternoon which was spectacular, but which effectively settled Hogan s claims to lightweigh honors.
 The bout was noteworthy because of work after he was well nigh whip ped in the third. Burns with well di- rected rights to the jaw sent the San Franciscan to the carpet three times Stretched flat on his back after that third knockdown, Hogan listened to the count. As the last count came Hogan tried to stand on his feet, but he was officially counted out.
 From Hogan's corner came pro- test that the count had not been fair, but in any event Hogan was thor oughly weakened from the punishment he could ~ hardly have continued. Burns. after he had scored his second knockdown. in the tenth. and while Hogan was still stretched at full! length taking advantage of the county ran appeaHng1y toward Hogan's cor-I ner and begged the latterS second to1 throw up the sponge.
 Toss in the sponge he begged1l them. T don't want to punish this boy any more.''
 But Spider Kelly was deaf to all ap- peals and the Oaklander turned back to Hogan as he stood on his unsteady legs and sent in the last crushing right that did the business. Hogan Referee Griffin raised Burns arm in token Of victory. There was some confusion naturally as to whether ao- gan had been counted out or the fight had been stopped but Griffin settled that by declaring the full count had been given.
