THE NEW ROUTE.

a Straight Line From Milwaukee to 81.
Paul.
milwaukee Special Chicago Tribune.1
The major details of the scheme for the
establishment of new line Of communica-
ton between this city and st. Paul are near
~ perfected. According to statements made
by parties directly interested, . contract has
been let to F. w. Bhinelander, president of
the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Rail-
way company, to build q line from the
present terminus of the Lake Shore l. West
ern Road, point twelve miles east of Wau-
san, westward through Wausau and thirty
miles further west through Marathon ooun-
ty, to junction with the Wisconsin Central
at or near Colby. The entire distance is
fifty-tour miles. To Charles l.. Colby, pres
ident of the Wisconsin Central Railway
company, has been awarded the contract
for building from Colby to Chippewa Falls,
a line of about equal length, connecting
with a branch road. twelve miles long, from
Eau Claire to Chippewa Falls. This short
section of road meets the West Wisconsin at
Eau Claire, making straight line to St.
Paul. The combination will make through
freight line from st. Paul to Milwaukee, and
also to the east by way of Manitowoo, from
whence it 10 proposed to run a line of pro-
pellers to Ludington, connecting with the
Flint & Pere Marquette and Canadian Grand
Trunk route.

A Wonderful Occurrence.

Since the days Of Ben Franklin and
the generation Immediately following,
it has been supposed that an umbrella
is common property. Within the men,
DRY of the oldest man living, there has
been found no exception to the rule un-
til the time, when DR.. Warren Frazier,
of this city, was on his way to st. Louis,
and, chancingto put his umbrella down
in the depot of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi railroad at Cincinnati for mo-
ment, returned and found it gone. He
made diligent search, but left without
finding it. To his astonishment, when
he returned home he found awaiting
him letter from P. w. Williams, Of
Aurora, Ind, stating that he had taken
it for his own, and had not discovered
the mistake until he reached home,
where he CHANGED to open it and found
the doctors name in it. He asked
what should be done with it, and when
advised sent it per express, prepaid.
This is an extraordinary variation of
the prevailing umbrella ethics of the
country, and deserves commentator.

Our readers may be interested to know
that our publication relating to Edison's

had the benefit of the direction and author
ization of the great inventor himself. 1t has
been our understanding that Mr.. Edison's
hackers in the electric-lamp business were
capitalists largely interested in telegraph
stock. There is company in New York,
having an Office In the Drexel building,
called the Edison Electric Light company.

in Covington and Newport.
Edison's public exhibition of the light is
to occur at his place of residence, Menlo

Some of the crown Derby comes in
those colors, and you can find it in
cheaper styles. There is revival of
the old Brosely pattern, which looks
like a gooseberry bush in winter, being
a fine tracery of delicate twigs and
thorns, and you can buy this in red or
blue on white ground, and there are
some new Limoges cups and saucers,
with cloisoaa'ae finish. They are tri-
angular, with their three sides different
both in color and design, and the
saucers are divided into three sections
to match the cups. There are lovely
desert plates in the same ware, but Cir
cular. They represent half dozen
plates, each one decorated with it's own
special design, and partly hidden by the
next. Then there are some new lily
candlesticks, with the lily pad forming
the base and the stems twisting and
turning themselves to make the most
graceful of handles; the candle stands
in one lily chalice that holds itself
erect. There is q Minton vase abso-
lutely perfect in outline and almost
transparent, that is painted with won
derful crimson and golden orchids, and
has bronze Medusa heads for handle,
and q bronze sea-horse upon its cover,
There are some pretty little red and
sea-green and brown vases with clus
tiers of white flowers cinging to them
as if to4lsed there, and some Minton
pilgrim bottles that have exquisitely'
painted boyish figures upon them
