EXPENSIVE PERSIAN HATS.

In the Shah-m -Shahs country. far away across the seas in Southern Persia, the astrachan trade had it's origin. Before the little lambskin be- came valuable in the eyes Of the fashionable world. all Persians wore hats s-of real astrachan. but nowadays the genuine skins have become so expensive that only the Wealthlest o1 the people can afford them The poorer classes wear either caps of felt or imitation lamb skin hats made of cotton. It is said that a real lamb skin kollah, like the genuine Panama, lasts more than a lifetime. and de- scends from father to son, or IS the subject of special bequest to some valued relation. The finest lambskN' were formerly obtained from the un- born lamb, by sacrificing both mother and young, for by this cruel and eNtraVagant method the fine curlS of the jet-black wool were preserved unopened, and the beautiful glossy sheen on the wool was preserved in taot.-Ghristian Herald.

FOUR BANKING HOUSES
Continued from Page One)

and it is not thought that anxiety over this situation will be felt.
 The former First National was ac- credited one of the strongest banks in the country and it merged with the Second National last March, The merged institution taking the name of the two banks. At that time Oscar Telling formerly a comptroller in his department as president of the First National was made a vice president of the combined banks. WIS. Kuhn then of the Second National was made pres ident Today upon the closing of the merged institution a statement was sent broadcast by a press agent of the Kuhn interests in which a director of the bank whose name will not be used" was quoted as saying that the government was unjust and treating the bank unfairly. The statement fur ther quoted an unnamed director say ing that the government was respon- sible for the merger of the banks be- cause it was sanctioned by Lawrence Murray, then comptroller of currency. The statement was almost immediately recalled by the distributors of the re- port but the recall in many places was ignored.

GRAND CIRCUIT
 RACES OPENED
George Nugent, a Local Driver, Figures in Great Meet Uhlan Fails to Lower World Record Yesterday

CLEVELAND, July 7.-Perfect rae ing weather and thousands of racing cnthusiastics helped to open most auspiciously the first meeting of the Grand Circuit on the North Randall track. As usual on Tavern Steak day millionaire owners piloted their own colts before the grand stand which was filled largely with society people. The faVorites of the Tavern Steak" Were hard to pick as only amateur drivers may enter, but the Edward stake went heavily played on to the favorite Del Ray
 The Iightest field scored for the Edwards stake since it's establishment Was given as the word today. In the first heat Dzeron broke at the eighth and was hopeleSsly distanced. At the half Walter Cox took the lead with Del Key and was never headed, al though hard pressed by Frank Bogash IT, being forced to pace the last quarter in U:293-4. Del Ray got away in front in the next two heats and kept the lead over Frank Bogash Jr, finishing close up each time. The record for the Edwards stakes, 2:03 F, is held by Vernon Mckinney. Gov ernor Cox presented the Edwards cup.
 Seventeen horses were called to the post for the Tavern Steak for am ateur drivers only, which was divided into three preliminaries with prizes Of Sl,O00; purses for the finals to be raced on Friday for the rest of the $5,O0O purse. In the first division Eulabel. a Toledo horse, driven by Part Mitchell, won over Castle Dome. driven by J. l.. Dodge of Memphis, who took the first heat from Barring by a sCant nose. With a burst of speed on the stretch Eulabel took the second heat and easily won the third.
 The preliminaries among the second division were also hotly contested. Dago, driven by George Timeling of Cleveland, took deciding heat from Fan Patch. driven by. s. J. Hauset of Big Flats. New York, in whipping finish at 2:0Sa4. within a half second of the record for the Tavern.
 Amy, driven by H. A. WattersOn of Cleveland. won rather easily the third division half the field being dis tanced in the first heat. Princess Louise, driven by George Nugent. of Phoenix. AriZ.. second. Uhlan, the worlds champion trotter, failed to break his own record. 1:58a4, estab- lished by himself three years ago, go- ing a mile in 1:5914.

KNIFE OF GARCIA MADE

cn the rails and little pools of blood along the sandy spaces between the tracks he had been able to follow the course taken by Garcia after he had been wounded by Harris. He said that Garcia was lying alongside an irrigation ditch near Buchanan street on South First street, and that upon first seeing him he believed the man to be dead. He also said that Garcia begged for water and endeavored to tell something of having been held up hy three men.
 C. H. HOrtenstein, a fireman on the Arizona Eastern, told of the finding Cf the bloody hunting knife He said that it had laid between a rail of one ot the tracks not twenty feet from the spot where the body of Harris lay, and another rail, a part of a switch at that point He was positive that the knife shown him was the same one he had seen on the ground and that he had later seen turned ever by Engineer Jason Osborn to Policeman WilkersOn.

 The county authorities last evening Were working along some lines of in Nestigation which gave promise. of i'm portant arrests within few hours Garcia is expected to weaken in n short time and reveal the identity of his accomplices.
 Dr. Beauchamp stated last evening that he was not certain but that it would be necessary to amputate Car clas wounded leg in order to save his life. Several arteries were severed and there is grave danger of gangrene setting in. There is also apparently a slight injury of the bone which may result in necrosis.
 The funeral of Harris will be held this morning from the family resi- dence, ell South Fourth avenue. at 9 o'clock Burial will be made in this city, although Harris was na- tive of Indiana. His brother-in-law, A. V. Dominguez. of San Diego. Cal. ar rived here yesterday in order to be present at the funeral.

 MOSS, MORSE AND REMORSE

Leaving aside the fact that Frank r. Morse is a marvellous press agent and has an imagination which keeps him Jumping his impressionable head against the starry dome of heaven he is a crude performer All of which is proved thus
 When Henry Miller and Miss Ruth Chatterton were playing in Boston, Morse, who was their press agent. incurred the admiration, love and affection of one of the leading flor ists of the town by slipping him at judiciOus intervals and in profuse quantities passes to the show As a result of this Miss Chatterton re- ceived one night a box of flowers so big that it broke the back of the man who tried to carry it into her dressing room. The blossoms were done up in moss, and were of every known variety. They attracted the attention of the whole company.
 Where did you get the flowers ?' asked Miller.
 Prom MT. Morse" replied Miss Chatterton.
 An" said Miller-and that was all he said.
 The following night the same taing was enacted
 On the third night a still larger box of flowers was. carried into the leading Womans dressing room. When it had been opened Miss Chatterton began to unroll the tissue paper. She did it so well that she unwound approximately a mile and a half of it. There were no flowers, but, at the bottom of the empty box was d card bearing the following inserip- tion in Miller's handwriting, just to

STRAY TOPICS FROM
 LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July 7-EveryOne has heard the old joke about the English taking New York from the Dutch and the Jews taking it from the English The Americans don't seem to figure in it at all And, alas. this would seem to be pretty near to the truth The figures show that of the 2,50O. 900 inhabitants of the borough of Man hattan less than 15 per cent are native whites of American parentage.
 A palatial hospital for dumb animals is to be erected in this city by the Women's League for Animals. It will contain an operating room for dogs. padded cells for horses with blind staggers, apartments for sick cats, a kitchen for preparing special food for animal patients and roof garden or paddock where animals recovering from sicllnes or operations may have the benefit Cf fresh air and sunshine
 The subway thief is the latest addi- ton 10 the 157 varieties of petty crooks who make this hig town their field Of opera tiOns. He may be prop erly styled the Subway hat thief in that his speciality is the lifting of hats, especially bananas, from the heads of unsuspecting passengers. He does not operate in the trains, but on the station platforms. and steals the hats by reaching through windows into the car just as the train is getting under way leaving a station.
 Speaking of thieves, here's another one. On the excellent authority of one Isidore Rader, 5000, 900 is q con- servative estimate of the value of goods stolen annually in recent years by street thieves in New York. "Izzy"

Tn addition to the operation of fence" he has conducted a school where young boys were taught to steal from trucks. piers and railroad depots. Recently he was caught with the goods,'' so he followed the pre- vailing fashion of revealing all he knew of the system and the alleged connection betW cen the crooks and the police.
 An iron and glass building that is soon to stick it's heac up among the skvscrapers in lower Broadway will have the distinction of being Amer ica's thinnest office building It will be five feet wide by 100 feet deep, will contain three stores and several ''commodious'' offices. The building will stand on the corner of Rr"a dWaY and Worth streets The building site vas reduced tU it's present enlaciated dimensions through the change made more than forty years ago in the property lines on Worth street. To the uninitiatcd it would seem that, with a structure only five feet wide the builders will have to revert to the old custom of having the stairWays s on the outside.
 The recent removal of the little white cottage in which Edgar Allan Poe wrote The Raven" and where he spent the greater part of his brief but happy welded life, aroused great interest. and in many instances strong criticism on the part of admirers oi America's poet and fictionist. The cottage stood on the Kingsbridge road in the Borough of the Bronx and was removed from the original site to new foundation prepared for it in Poe Park, distant about two blocks. The park covers about two blocks and the cottage was placed at the north

 Fear on the part of the big New York gem importers that they will have to pay a higher duty on gems under the new tariff has caused them to rush in large quantities of dia- monds and other precious stones since the provisions of the bill became known. Under the present tariff schedule the cut gems are dutiable at 10 per cent. and there is no duty on the rough product. The Underwood ball provides for d duty of 20 per cent on cut and 10 per cent on uncut gems. The New York gem merchants. working through their association. are fighting for a reduction of the present schedule. Meanwhile they are bring ing in unusually large quantities of the precious stones in order to escape possible payment of the higher duties proposed.
