and are cut off below the waist. and
have pleatod fullness added there.
Plain Gabrielle wrappers simply bor-
dered, or else with deep Spanish
founce, are sold for$1. For nice wool
wrappers that are needed for cool
mornings in the country, American
basket-wOven cloth at seventy-five cents
is used, or else the domestic bourettes
at the same price. These come in pale
blue. to be trimmed with olive green or
with navy blue, or in cream-color or
pink, with both of which dark cardinal
red is chosen for bows and facings.
Carrick capes promise to be very
much worn on various spring garments.
Phey are seen on cloth sacques, on
basques of plain costumes, on polonai-
SEES, on Dolmans, on English cloth trav-
cling cloaks, and finally on linen u
sters. Those on new sacques for spring
are deeper than those worn during the
winter, and some are lightly trimmed
with rows of braid. Sets of three capes
are on wraps, but basques have only
one or two. 1t is said that the capes
without other wraps will be used for
spring; they will be made of cloth of
light quality.-Harper's Bazaar.

Cambria Costumes, Etc.

Tho furnishing stores display new
costumes of percale, cambria and
Scotch ginghams, trimmed with pleat-
ed frills of the material, on which fall
scant ruflles of white Hamburg en-
broidery. The favorite design for these
is the pleated basque, with the pleats
extending far below the hips, and the
edge finished with embroidery. The
shoulders may have a yoke in front
only, or perhaps only in the back, while
the front is pleated, but in most cases
there is a yoke both in front and back.
The over-skirt has very long wrinkled
apron with soft drapery behind, and in
most cases it is sewed permanently to
the lower skirt either at the belt on Just
below it. 1t is easier, however, to iron
such dresses when each part is made
separately, and the effect is lust the
same. The bourette figured percales
in gray with blue, or black on white,
brown or navy blue, are most used.
When American percales are chosen,
the suit is sold for $3.50.
Cambria wrappers are also being fan
cifully made at the furnishing houses.
The prettiest Of these have yoke with
Vatican pleating in the back, and are

A Story Of John F. Tracy, the Dead
Railroad King.

SITTING in his Chicago Office in his
shirt-sleeves, he was assailed by a glib
tongued emissary of a railway supply
firm, who, getting the audience Mr..
Tracy refused to none, went through
his role briskly. 1t was Mr.. Tracy 8
life-habit to be simply absorbent
listener, but it was like putting your
errand into the mouth of bronze lion.
He listened, and that was all. Moth
ing in his face ever foreshadOwed his
answer. The drummer, at the close of
his appeal, dropped into a confidential
tone and said: "Mr. Tracy, the
figures we give are to your company
TO you they will be per cent. less. :"
Without word or wink of intelli-
gence, MIR. Tracy arose, opened the
door, sat down at his desk and became
absorbed in his own work. The visitor
sat until the minutes began to drop as
heavy as lead, and Tracy's pen scratch
ed away in the silence like John AL
denis in the poem. At last the waiting
party said: Swell, Mr.. Tracy. what do
you think of my propositions" Tracy
turned. with an affected air of intense
establishment. what, you here yet?
l thought you must have got mile
away. l opened the door for you half
an hour ago" -BOston advertiser.

AT Greenwich. Conn ia a

AT Greenwich, Conn, is an Irish
woman whose husband came home in
toxicated recently and began to abuse
her, but was stopped by sons inter-
ference, which so enraged the old man
that he had the boy arrested. The
mother went to the liquor seller and
demanded $40 for the expense of get
ting her son clear, threatening to pros
ecute him for letting her husband have
the rum, and the man paid the money
The mother then made so pathetic a
plea before the Magistrate that her
son was discharged, whereupon, in her
great happiness, she returned the mon
ey to the liquor seller.

A Campaign SANDER.

When DR.. r. V. Pierce was candidate for
State Senator, his political opponents pub
medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice this
people against him. His election by an over.
whelming majority severely rebuked his ira
ducers, who sought to impeach his business
integrity. No notice would have been taken
of these campaign lies were 1t not that son.
OF his enemies (and every successful business
man has his full quota of envious rivals) are
republishing these bogus analyses. Numerous
and most absurd formulas have been publish
ed, purporting to come from high authority;
and it is significant fact that no two have
been at all alike-conclusively proving the dis
honesty of their authors

How Business Is Done at l. ,ndOn.

THE slowness with which business
moves here is always the subject of an
CRY comment by Americans, and l
have heard various instances of it re-
Gently which seem rather amusing. A
gentleman from Rhode Island who is
engaged in introducing an important
invention here, says that he comes con-
stantly upon stumbling-blocks in the
shape of delays. He is called up one
morning by his solicitor who wears a
very grave and injured expression.
$50, SIR" says the solicitor. "you go
TO see your patent lawyer without con-
sulting me-" The American expresses
his surprise at such remark. "But
you ought not to go to see him in that
manner. You should only commune
cate with him through U.S." To this
the American rigidly objects. Every
well; You can do as you like; but you
are trampling upon established GUS
TOMS" And the solicitor goes away
feeling injured. Nothing new can ever
be accomplished under two days, gen.
orally two weeks. An American once
arrived in London on very important
mission to a prominent banker here.
The business which concerned the bank
was, in Yankee way of thinking. ex-
tremely pressing. The American went
to the bankers private Office, and pre-
sented his letters as soon as he reached
England. The banker said: This is
very important, and l will have the
papers laid before my SOLICITORS ..And
l suppose that can have an interview
with you tomorrow, possibly?' inter-
rupted Brother Jonathan. "Well.
hardly worth WHILE" answered John
Bull. "But this matter presses"
Yes, yes; well, come and dine with
me week from Tomorrow; BY that
time the solicitors will have sent the
papers back, and then we can discuss
the matter" There was no alterna-
tive, and our American friend waited a
week, then repaired to the bankers
mansion. The mouse was filled with
company, and the banker, after the inn
portant subject had been nervously APP
preached two or three times, said:
"Well, the solicitors are still busy with
those papers, / believe, but if YOU will
come into the Office about the day after
tomorrow, think we can begin to en-
ter into the subject" And it was not
until weeks had flown away that any,
thing like an understanding was arrived
at on an affair which concerned the
English bankers interest rather more
than the Americans. AS for getting
work done, it is next to impossible.
Carpenters are weeks over a small lob
which would be done in a day in many
countries. No workman can be driven;
arguments, reproach, threats, are ali
useless, and sometimes bring new vexa-
tons on ones head. think the British
workman takes sturdy pleasure in
holding back the impetuous American.

SUGAR-REFINING FIRMS
Thirteen of Them Driven Out OF
the Business within the Past
Few Years.

New York sun, Nov. ..
The New York Steam-Sugar Refining
Company have suspended business anu
propose 10 sell on December 10th their
large refinery, which covers 40, l4OSSquare
feet of ground on the block bounded by
South, Water, Cherry and Montgomery
streets. Four lots of that property, each
% by 20 feet, are leased. All the re-
mainder belongs 10 the company, when
had capital OF S4OO,OVO invested III It's
buildings, machinery and ground.
Mr.. Charles G. Moller. son OF the
President of the company, MIR. Peter
Moller, said yesterday that the company
had always paid cash for all the crude
sugars they used, and consequently got
them ON the most favorable terms; had
done their work rs cheaply as any other
r.fners. and had made first glass goods
only, vet they ultimately found them
selves unable to compete with rivals IN
the business, whose superior success he
could only attribute to q certain sort OF
smartness which they would not resort
10. He declined to go into the partlcu'
lars OF the alleged smartness.
Mr., B. b. Sherman, President OF the
Mechanics National Bank, who was
President OF the New York Steam
Refining Company before Mr.. L:
Nollcr was, said that the new system OF
refining. in which glucose, grape, sugar,
and other authorizations are employed,
would not be resortei to by this Com
pany, that consequently, they found
their business IA losing Cnterprls2, and
il was deemed advisable 10 stop it.
Mr.. Isaac Odell, President OF the
Mercantile National Bank, who was a
member OF the sugar-retining firm OF
Noller, Odell 4 Co., which went out OF
business several years ago, attributed
the decline OF the sugar-refinlng interest
in this country to the use of centrlfu-
gals, and proiessed to know nothing
about fraudulent gradings or adultera-
tons of sugars.
In the last few years thirteen large
sugar refining firms and companies have
been driven out ofthe business: MesSrs.
