ills Still department
(The American Hatter.)
The style tendency for spring has
previously been reviewed in these col-
umns and recent developments serve
only to coniirm the forecasts that have
been made.
Telescopes will surely predominate
the soft hat business. law crowa. wide
brim dimensions will be favored, while
pencil curls will not be as activu in
demand as last season. Pearls will be
strong and light brown shades will also
be popular. iiough finishes and ex-
tremely rough finishes will sell well,
as will also the numerous novelty lab
rice that some. lines specialize.
in still huts the small list out shapes
will be the dominant factor for the
popular price trade, but as predicted
in these columns. there will be a very
actIVe sale for the low crown wide
brim styles, which are the season's
novelty designs and which will. be for»
\
to style leadership. They are the
latest development of the still" list
vague and the proper shape for the
men who want to wear the latest auth-
entic style. '
The nu lines are below prepared but
it is too early to indicate with any tis-
groo of assurance the probable deslans
that will be evolved for the now sea-
son.
The straw hat business for tail is
practically consummated and a sac
cessfui season for the manufacturers
is assured Orders have been placed

two exceptions the factories are said

Split hats will not. predomlail. .e to

in the retail trade aennits have
formed a large portion of the demand
and this development confirms the

turning to geacral favor. in l908. tor

This year senult demand is uracil
oally universal. in the large cities of
the East New Yolk Philadelphia and
Boston, and in Pittsburg and other all.
lea in this territory acnnits will be
fully as popular as splits and perhaps
more so in the i: :naller cities of the
East sonnits whl‘ e not so strong, will

poi' cent or the straw hat trade.
For aewriil yours efforts have been
made by straw hai manufacturers to
bring about rurovival of scnnits for it
is well know there is more profit in
the productiu oi sunnitu. The retail-
er should be quite as anxious to have
this braid popular ones more, for there
is more money in these hats for him
also.
One or the measures adopted to
bring sennits once again into general
favor has been for the manufacturers
salesmen to encourage ecnnli buylmi
in cherry way ptmible and to this end
every little stimulus in the demand
libs been heralded throughout the
trade as a sure indication of a big heli-
nlt season.
This year. however, the largely in
creased business on serious was spot»
taneous and hot in' any way forced. and
the buying of malt straw has contin-
ued to increase naturallyaacluaily
and not by reason of the imagination
of the road salesmen.
it is extremely likely that if this in-
creased Icnalt demand had nut mated
ialisod naturally as it his. it would
have been absolutely necessary to
have forced it. for split braid hats had
such a steady. continuous increase in
price during the past year that it
would have been impossible at this
quotation to have produced $2.00 hats.
and even for 03.00 [ratios there would

strong Wind Clouded. ,
A strong wind was blowing and iii
a very few minutes the west half of
the building was a furnace. The en-
tire lire apparatus of Minneapolis was
called out. but it was totally inade-
quate to check the names. Later St.
Paul was asked for help and it was im-
mediately furnished.
When the hrs department arrived
men were rushed into the building and
numerous ladders were runnip to aid
the persons hemmed in by the tire on
the second and third hours.
‘On the second floor were Mrs. M.
Buck and Miss E. Buck; Mr. and
Mrs. Charles il‘ranson. liisa Franson.
Miss Etta Parsons. Miss Merlin Down-
end and Miss Marlo Heller were on
the third floor. 0n the iiftli door were
Mrs. Mary iiolllstsr and bliss 'l‘reler.
The Franson family. finding all ox-
it by stairway and front windows cut
all. made for the lire escape on the al-
loy side of the building. Elinor Fran-
aon leaped to the fire esi‘ape through
flames which were being driven by the
wind past the window. out of which
was his only escape. Holding the
bot iron-s of the ladder. he helped his
mother to. climb through the window
and step upon the platform beside him.
Daring Rescue.
As soon as her hands touched the
rails she shrieked and would have fal-
len to the “round. but Fireman (‘ald-
well leaped to her rescue from a lad‘
der resting against the New England
building, which udiolnu the Syndicate
building. CaldWell made a lump of ful-
ly ten feet and took a chance at fallluit
to the pavement forty feet below if
he missed the are escape. Fortunately
he struck it right and reached Mrs.
i‘ranson‘s side not a second too soon.
He assisted her to the around while
Elmer i‘ranson followed shouting:
“There are two women back there in
the names; i saw them fall." The
firemen made every effort to break in
to the building at this place but the
heat was too great and they were re«
pulsed. All of the Wallace family were
then assisted down the fire escape and
the firemen had little dliilculty in res-
cuing those on the second and fifth
floors.
None of the rescued received injur-
ies which necessitated a visit to the
hospital and all at the occupants oi’ the
upper iloorewere accounted for. it
is believed by the firemen and the po-
lice that Young Franson was mlsla
lien when he said he saw two persons
in the building as he left the tire on
