These figures are sup plied by the reporter after holding close communion . with the milliner, i "What sort of hate are the good women going to wear this fall and winter?" asked the newspaper rep resentative, aa he entered the busy room where young lady clerks were arranging tor the coming season. 'Well, some of the latest agonies are freaks," said the young woman who had Just returned , from New ' Tork. ' "Freaksthat ta what you would Bay of the extreme styles. Many large hats, some of . them s 27 Inc hes wide, will be worn this year. Very few of the largest , ones will come to this section, hut leading actresses of the country and other stylish people will wear them. About -17 Inches will be the limit here, ex- font n nroaalnnal Instances." "What are the names of aome ? of the most popular hats?" was asked. "Why, the Mazlmova sailor, named after the Russian actress, Is one; the Georgette sailors, for the Parisian designer of that name, is another: large and medium "mushrooms, and ttie Fluffy Ruffles, the most Impor tant one of all." "What ia the Fluffy Ruffles?" , . . "That Is the wild and woolly hat." "What about colors?" "The shades are russets, mahogan ies and purples and lots ofjarge black ; hats. "Ostrich plumes, cassaway feathers and marrowbeaux will be used." Having thrown out these sugges tions the manager of the shop called & mrettv rirl and tried some of the new styles on her for the edifica tion of the reporter. The first hat brought out was a medium-sized mushroom, a beautiful thing with . drooping rims and a wealth of feath ers. Others Just as cunning were produced. The hats worn the coming season will attract the attention of the men for they are very large and striking looking. ... , LV T1JE POLICE COURT.

The death of little Lloyd Grlbbfe, the 9-year-old boy who climbed a tower and took hold of a live electric wire to see what effect it would have on his hand, was very sad. The child went up 47 feet on a steel pole and then squeezed himself through some bars and crawled out an arm four feet to get to be killed. When he caught the wire the auto matic circuit was knocked on, affect ing the line from Concord to Great Falls, and had it not been for this fact all that would have remained of the bfjy would have been a charred body. The wire threw the boy back into a crotch, where he , remained until two negroes removed him. In talking 'about the accident, yes- terday, an electrician said that the boy touched the wire and made a short circuit to the ground. Some body, who knows but little about the ways of electric currents, asked why the live wires did not kill birds when they lit 'on them, - It was explained that the bird does not connect with anything. If he were to hold to the steel pole with his feet and catch the wire in his bill then he would 'be killed. , Meeting at Belmont Grows inv Interest. : The meeting which has been i" in progress at the Behnont Presbyterian church for the past week hi progress ing with gratifying interest.

"Did you ever notice," said a man on the sidelines at the game yester day afternoon, "the difference be tween a college pitcher and a pro fessional? It's easy. The college player makes a desperate effort to strike out every man that faces him. He pitches with every ounce of liia strength from the very start of the game.. The professional, on the other hand, makes the men behind him do the work. He never jnakes any particular effort to fan a man unless he finds himself In a hole. Then he comes to the scratch with his reserve force. But that's the reason you don't see a long list of strlke-outs to the credit of the pro fessional pitcher." Pictures at the Odeon.
