Other openings of the Big Store have been fashionable vents, but that which began yesterday fully eclipsed all others in point of wealth of new millinery creations. Palms added to the effect, but they were not necessary, because artificial beauties rivalled those of nature. Cowslips, daisies, heliotrope, mignonette, violets, forget-me-nots, lilies of the valley, all to be popular in this season's trimmings, are shown with rare taste.

The striking novelties in the display include broad-striped ribbons, black and white being the most popular. There are broad quills and ceil blue, combined with emerald green. Maline is another strong feature in trimmings. Brown maline is found underneath many of the hats without regard to the coloring of flowers of foliage. Sailor are strong favorites this season.

Their leader is a black Neapoiitan raised at the side with a deep bandeau. The trimmings are ostrich feathers, buckle and aigrette.

Among the smart hats is the Leghorn or turban shape, twisted and turned with true millinery art, and trimmed high on the left side with foliage and pink roses. Ribbon of the same color is used on the right side very effectively. extensive use of Panamas, Leghorns in color and the raw state and of pyroxiline hats was much commented upon. The latter is a decided novelty. The violet in Colonial shape is one of the most beautiful creations of this material.

Pale blue will be popular this season. A' hat of Panama, trimmed with velvet of this color, and pale. blue wings on the left side, was much admired. It shared the admiration of visitors with a flat Leghorn, trimmed with rushings of pale blue maline and pink roses. The white braid hat, trimmed with of pink velvet roses linotted to together ruchings of white bunch with a spray of heliotrope, will appeal very strongly to the summer girl.

This season it is unusually well stocked with hats for tots, half-grown girls and young women. the many pretty things are displayed to advantage on pedestals and tables, etc. While the millinery section of the store was the centre of attraction, the other departments had full share admirers and buyers.

New York, March Sullivan, known to all the upper East Side as "Blind Bill the Piper," is dead. For 25 years Sullivan lived in Fortieth street near First avenue. There was sadness in the neighborhood last night when the news of his death spread. He died in Bellevue hospital last night. A policeman found Sullivan early yesterday morning lying unconscious in the snow at Thirty-seventh street and First avenue.

His right leg was fractured and his favorite violin, which he held close to his breast, was broken. How he came to be there no one will ever know: he died without regaining consciousness. Charles Wagner runs the barber shop at 687 First avenue and lives overhead. For the past five months Sullivan had a room in Wagner's flat, On Tuesday night Sullivan felt his way into the barup to Harlem to fiddle at a racket. ber shop and told Wagner he was going "It's no weather for you to be out," said Wagner.

"It's likely to kill you." "And what if it does?" said Sullivan. "Sure and I'll get the finest funeral in the ward. I have already lived it, so I have, and there's to be four horses to the hearse and 20 carriages, for me friends will follow it." Then Sullivan laughed and, tucking his violin under his arm, made his way to the elevated station, "He must have had a warning," said Wagner last night. Around the neighborhood it was rumored that Sullivan was rich-at least was rich as the term is understood there. He was about 65 years old.

He left a sister, Mrs. O'Connor, who lives at 338 East Fortieth street. "Yes," said she, "my brother left some money. How much I won't know until I find his bank books: but he had money in a Bowery bank and some more in a. bank on Fourth avenue.

And he had fiddles, a dozen of them, maybe, and all fine ones." The neighbors said that the blind piper had studied to be a priest. "No," said Mrs. O'Connor, "not that, but my father, who had money, gave him the education that could be had in the County Cork, and after that William followed the sea. It was 40 years ago that he came this country, and for a long time he was mate on a Fall River steamer. He saved, We were living neighsaved borhood then.

"Twenty-five years ago my brother went blind. He had always played the pipes and the fiddle, and though he had put by enough to live on comfortably, he never refused to play a at parties. "And he was good to the children; he played for them to dance on the sidewalks, and when they tired of that he gathered them about him and told them of the fairies. "They haven't told me how he came to be unconscious there in the street with his leg broken and his fiddle smashed and no money in his pockets. It seems strange to me." Mrs.

O'Connor couldn't say just when or where the body of the "Blind Piper" would be laid to rest, but when it is there will be a large crowd to follow. MR.

The golden fires of sunset skies, That blazed when young were world and time, Are yet beheld by mortal eyes, For all their radiance sublime; The lover sighed, the minstrel sang, Just as they sigh and sing today; Each felt the ecstasy, the pang, Told oft in verse, in mournful lay. So we, nomadic children frail, The self-same way, the old trail, Tired and sleepy, pass saline Singing in hope our wistful song: Tether the slanting highway stretches flaming to the bright, west, We see no trace of pain or night, But dream of home, of peace, or rest.

Views of Dr. Minot seem paradoxical to writer in the current Harper's Weekly makes some suggestive comments upon the recent assertion of Dr. Minot, professor of embryology at Harvard, that old age begins at 25, when the period of physical growth normally ends. Dr.

Minot, contends that intellectual growth ceases with physical growth, and that a man of 30 is not nearly so likely to have an original idea as one of 20 or 25. To most persons, as the writer truly says, these assertions will seem especially in view of the fact that many artists, authors and composers have produced their greatest works in the later periods of their careers.
