HAT FAD AT SMITH COLLEGE
Girl Students Have Different Ones For
Every Hour of the Day.
They cost only 15 cents, and that's
the reason why Smith college girls at
Northampton, Mass., have been dis
porting themselves of late In an end
less variety of gorgeous headgear.
The hats come" from a factory in .
Amherst. They come untrimmed, but
that Is a matter of small importance,
for Smith college girls are artists at
ornamenting hats.
Some weeks ago it was noticed that
a fad for variegated millinery held the
students in its grip. Girls who, as
their friends knew, had not been out
of Northampton for weeks suddenly
appeared in gorgeous new creations.
And some of them had as many as ten
or a dozen new hats. There was noth
ing like them in the Northampton
stores.
Then it was learned that for two
weeks the cars running between Am-,
hcrst a;:d Northampton have been
daily crowded with students going to
buy the fifteen cent hats. It is the
f"d at present to nave a hat for every
b'ir of the day, and each girl pur
chases from a half dozen to two dozen
of the straw hats, takes them back to
Northampton and decorates them to
suit her fancy.
' "I believe that in the last month."
said Fred Shepherd, superintendent of
the hat factory, recently, "we have
: boW no fewer than 1.50!) of these hats.
Girls are arriving here at all times of
the day in carriages, automobiles and
on the cars.
'They go to the big storeroom and
fearch through the piles of hats in the
bins till they find what they want. One
girl only a few days ago spent a whole
day picking out hers and went away
wiih exactly two dozen. As a rule,
however, the purchases range between
a half dozen and a dozen and a half."
PASSING OF A CARTOONIST.
WARSHIP'SNOVELGiFl
Tribute to the Memory and Work of
Charles Green Bush.
There have been more widely known
cartoonists than Charles Green Bush,
who recently died at Camden, S. C,
but there has not iu our generation
been one who appealed more to news
paper readers of the thinking class.
He was a satirist most great cartoon
ists are but he reached the reason.
His was not simple abuse, and he sel
dom lent his art to the attack on a
public man or a public subject with
out having a tenable ground for doing
so. In his time he was the acknowl
edged leader of his art, and at his
death he was the dean of his profes
sion. Most of us can easily recall his bril
liant, superbly finished cartoons, which,
keenly satirical as they were, always
' clothed their shafts in such graceful
line's and excellent reason for humor
that even their victims might feel hon
ored. There was nothing vulgar about
Bush's drawing. ' It was art, and it
meant something always.
M2n are permitted to put on paper
and so called newspapers are permit
ted in these days to print many horri
ble things which hide under the gen
eral name of cartoons.- But may the
memory of Bush and of the work
which he did long remain- for an in
spiration which shall do at least some
thing to stem this tide. Fortunately
cartoonists of the Bush school and
with some degree of his ability are in
the majority. His example should long
remain to increase the proportion.

PLANS FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL
South Carolina to Have Silver
Service Picturing State History.
Native Trees and Plants Also on Plats
to Be Presented by Palmetto State
to the New Ail-big-gun Battleship.
No, Reference to the Civil War In
the Designs.
When the battleship South Carolina,
which will be the second of American
all-big-gun battleships to be completed,
goes into commission a few . months
hence she will receive 'from the state
of South Carolina one of the most elab
orate silver services ever presented to
an American warship. Governor Ansel
of South Carolina, who is chairman of
the commission that is to award the
contract for the service, has sent out
the plans and specifications to pro
spective bidders. These plans show
that the service will be a complete
pictorial history of South Carolina
during the .Revolution, while every
flower, every plant and every tree that
is indigenous to South Carolina will
appear on some of the pieces.
The service will consist of fifty-three
silver pieces and an elaborate metal
mounted humidor that can hold 300
cigars, The silver of which the serv
ice is to be made must be of -the finest,
of uniform fineness . and . standard
grade, and the designs submitted by
the bidders must be at the state capi
tol in Columbia by June 10, when the
contract for the manufacture of the
service will be awarded.
The principal centerpieces are to bear
three incidents in the . Revolutionary
history of the Palmetto State, happen
ings which in two cases many histori
ans declare never took place. These
are Sergeant Jasper scaling the walls
of Fort Moultrie to rescue the flag of
the new nation that fell outside the
breastworks when the flagstaff was
severed by a British bullet, General
Francis Marion entertaining the Brit
ish officers at a dinner whose only
course was baked potatoes served on
tree bark and the burning of her home
by Mrs. Motte to prevent it from being
mad'e use of by the king's soldiers.
In addition to these three principal
designs there are to be etchings on
other pieces of General Marion, Gen
eral Moultrie, General Daniel, Morgan,
General Pickens. Commander Ingra
ham, U. S. N.; the battleship South
Carolina and the words "Millions for
defense, but not a cent for tribute."
Other pieces will show the palmetto
tree, the sweet jasmine,' the magno
lia tree, the trumpet vine, the straw
berry, the long cucumber shaped wa
termelons , that only South, Carolina
farmers grow, the cotton plant, rice
fields and the peach trees of the Pied
mont. The circular sent out to the bidders
states that the "designs are to consist
of a combination nautical in their sug
gestion." Each piece must "have a dif
ferent design.
In none of the designs is there any
reference to the civil war, as was the
case iu the service presented by the
state of Mississippi to the battleship of
that name. New York Times.
HOME FOR CUBAN LOTTERY.
f eatro Nacional to Be Rebuilt to House
Island's Gambling Scheme.
' Havana's famous playhouse, the Teai-.
tro Nacional, the third largest tbeatei
In the world and one of the art-hitr--tural
show places of the Cuban capi
taL is about to enter upon another
DISPUTED EVENTS DEPICTED, chapter in its remarkable history. The
; structure is to be rebuilt and modern
ized and will, it is reported, become
the headquarters of the national lot
tery recently established, by the Cu
ban government. The government pur
chased the theater for $500,000 and
has, in tHrn, resold it to the Centro
Gallego de la Habana for $550,000.
The beautiful Teatro Nacional stands
in the center of Havana's fashionable
quarter, facing Parque Central, and foi
seventy-five years the jd theater, still
in excellent condition, has figured in
the many political changes that have
marked the history of Cuba since 1334.
The theater was built by Francisco
Marty, a noted Spanish bandit and
leader of a band of robbers who ter
rorized Cuba for many years up to the
time of the capture of Marty in 1831.
Marty was condemned to death. He
promised General Tacon, then captain
general of Cuba, that if his life were
spared he would not only denounce his
band, but would rid the island of the
pirates that infested it. General Tacon
gave the pirate the chance "to make
good," and Marty, qualifying,' was per
mitted to live.
The pirate then asked General Tacon
for a concession to build a national
theater. This he received and with
the money he had accumulated during
his piratical career built El Teatro Ta
con, named after the general and later
renamed the Teatro Nacional. The
structure was completed in 1S34.
The old pirate managed the theater
for many years to his profit. In 1SG7
he sold it for $650,000 and then bought
it back for $500,000. When Marty died
his son kept up the management, and
it was the pirate's son who sold the
building to the Cuban government.
The theater is built of white stone
with decorations of marble in pure
Italian style. There are five horseshoe
tiers of boxes, rising, one above the
other around the pit and separated by
gilded latticework of light and grace
ful design. The interior decorations
are beautiful. On the right of the
stage is the principal box, reserved for
the republic's president and his fa.m
ily.. and next to this is the "judge's
box." During each performance a
judge is appointed by the manager to
witness the performance and act as
press agent by writing a criticism.
Many of the world's famous artists
and actors have appeared on its stage.

, ' . The Fatal Fourth.
During the five celebrations of the
Fourth of July from 1003 to 1907, in
clusive, 21.520 persons were injured
and 1,153 killed, according to statistics
recently gathered. The giant fire
cracker alone injured 1.480 persons in
the celebration of 1007, killed eight
and led to the death cf eight more
from lockjaw. So says one of the
medical papers. Now is the time to

Earl
Parrot In Motor Car Newest Conceit
Among the Very Smart.
The' latest fad among automobilists
Is to take a live parrot along in the
motor ear. This newest conceit made
its appearance oii Broadway, in New
Y6r;k, the other afternoon. The bird, a
big green one ' with scarlet facings,
was perched atop the tonneau door of
a brown motor cf the roadster type, in
which were three fashionably dressed
women.
They were very attentive to the
bird, who with the agility of a tight
rope performer side stepped from the
door top around to the back of the
chauffeur's seat. He pecked playfully
at the driver's cap and seemed to be
on friendly terms. -
According to the arbiters of fashion,
the parrot should be "worn" in the
tonneau and should be allowed to
roam about at will. The possibilities
of the innovation are almost limitless.
Small traveling menageries may . be
looked for In the near future.
of- Clanwilliam Says .Germany
Will Devastate All England.
"War without a moment's notice will
be the fate of- England," said the Earl
of Clanwilliam, 'an officer in the Brit
ish army who served in the South
African war. He recently arrived at
Winnipeg from England, where he has
cjosely studied the situation.
"Germany will be the. invading
force," he continued, "and that nation
will swoop down upon the mother
country some Sunday, morning and dev
astate and capture everything. There
is nothing to prevent this. For several
years Germany has been increasing
her army and navy to an alarming ex
tent, while England, apalt from voting
to build battleships, has done nothing
to meet her, but, on the 'contrary, has
organized a territorial army, doing
away with the volunteers,: which has
materially decreased the strength of
the British army.
- "If the present military policy con
tinues in ' England, the oldest nation
In the world is doomed to sink into
oblivion. ; Nothing can save it. Today
Germany is far more powerful, 'both
on land , and sea, while the United
States is rapidly forging to the front.
In fact, although the American army
is far smaller on paper than the Brit
ish, I am of the opinion that it is su
perior in point of excellence to the
British, which has been living for
years on a reputation gained by our
ancestors."

Mexico as a Cattle Country.
'Mexico is fast becoming the great
cattle country of the American conti
nent, and southern Mexico is the ideal
cattle country of Mexico," said G.'B.
McDermott of Nacozari, who was in
Houston, Tex., recently. "As the farm
ers apd sheepmen have forced the cat
tlemen of the great . southwest of the
United States to move their ranges,
they are naturally seeking the most
favorable localities, and northern Mex
ico seems to appeal more forcibly to
them than any other section. Cattle
are being moved rapidly into Mexico
from the United States, and the cattle
men of Mexico are now paying more
attention to their herds than formerly,
with the result that an excellent qual--ity
of' beef is being built up in the re
public." Tres Planting In Pennsylvania. '

Sergeant Rewarded For Presenting
Arms to Holland's Little Princess.
While on guard the other morning
at the gate leading from the palace
garden at The Hague, Holland, into
Molenstraat a sergeant of grenadiers
observed the approach of a white per
ambulator pushed by a nurse. For
five seconds he looked at the approach
ing vehicle; then, suddenly realizing
that it was the little Princess Juliana,
daughter of Queen Wilhelinina, taking
her first airing, he came to attention
and presented arms, although the prin
cess slumbered on unconscious of the
honor.
In the afternoon the sergeant was
told by his colonel to repair ' to the
palace iu full uniform, as the prince
consort wanted to speak to him. The
prince told him that he had seen the
salute from the window. He had, no
ticed the soldier's moment of hesita
tion and subsequent salute and so pre
sented him with a banknote -to provide
himself with a souvenir of the. first
salute to her royal highness Princess
