Bodie COnundrums.

A watermelon which sells for ten
cents over in California where
they make them, costs two bits to
tske to Reno or Carson. Then
when the stnrekeeper tacks on bit
for profit the ten cent melon costs
the consumer half a dollar. Which
would you rather be, the farmer
who works several months caring
for the melon to get ten cents. the
railroad company which takes no
risk and gets two bits for three or
four hours hauling or the store
keeper who stands all risk of loss
and spelling for bit? If we had
taken that melon further east the
beauties of competitive points would
be even more strikingIy illustrated.

THE OTHER SIDE.

In our Geographic columns to-
day are published the first anthem
tic accounts of the condition OF
the big strike yet given by any
Pacific Coast paper. The dis
patches were sent by the members
of the Brotherhood to their striking
comrades, and were delayed by the
telegraph companies in order.thas
they might not be used to contra
dict the lying kilograms which
burden the wires to bolster up the
sinking telegraph monopoly. Most
of the leading newspapers have
published the side of the Western
Union company. and refused to
give the strikers a chance to be
heard. thus exhibiting q COW
srdice and shortsightedness
which is unexpected in this quar-
Ter. The press should DO the prin-
cipal ally of the strikers, as "
great part of the stolen millions
now being swept into the Golfers OF
JAY Gould came from the earnings
Of newspaper publishers who are
each month compelled to pay ex-
orbitant prices for telegrapblc DIS
matches. not over one-half of which
are worth publishing. One would
suppose that it wou'd be hard to
find a newspaper in the United
States who would favor this rotten
monopoly, yet at the present writ
ing nearly all the papers have been
won over to the monopoly by Jay
Gould's lying dispatches or threats
to raise rates on Associte Press
news. The dispatches in to-days
APPEAL show the real progress OF
the strike and leads US to hope that
finally the monopoly will be
broken down. John Mackey with
his millions is arrayed against It
and the outlook is positively en-
couraging.

Nantes OF Silk and CIOaks of Velvet
With Notes About Other Fancics.

From the New York Evening Post.
Worth has recently sent to leading house in
this city variety of graceful and elegant car
rage wraps. among them long Spanish mantle
of black-brocaded ottoman silk lined with palest
primrose surah and trimmed with cascades of
real old Spanish lace, eight inches wide. This
lace is carried around the foot of the mantle.
A new utility wrap has made its appearance
which Is very suitable for shopping, travelling
and a protective covering from the autumn
rains. 1t is Of Imported suiting and will do
very well indeed for an entire dress, to take the
place OF skirt and ulster. 1t fits the figure very
snugly, and twelve very narrow pleats reach
from the throat to the hem of the garment both
front and back. Underneath these pleats be-
hind is set half belt which goes around in
front and from it depends chatelaine attached
to velvet or leather shopping bag. Plain dark
velvets are to be much used for ball wraps and
opera clOaks. A superb model on exhibition is
made OF very dark shade of royal blue in long
visite shape, embroidered in dark blue silk and
lined throughout with paiest blue satin.
Another wrap Of dark myrtle green is lined with
pale primrose surah and adorned with dark
green ostrich feather trimming.
The English walking coats known as the
Newmarket, made of heather tweed, hunters
green, or fancy basket cloth, and fastened with
silk cords and brandebOugs, are quite as FASH
fOnable as ever this season. These chlc-look-
ing coats are infinitely more becoming to grace
ful hgures than dolman, cape. or short viste,
setting off the form to ine advantage They
have very often an undervest or regular Louis
XIV. waist-coat of white-corded silk, or serge,
fastened down the front with small silver but

ladies who affect the masculine in DRESS The
