Some of the new ribbon muffS have
wide ribbon ends hanging below them,

The latter is made up into the dressiest

Newly imported French gowns are
edged at the neck with strip of colored

A report gained some credCnce that
Jay Gould was to sell out his Western
Union holdings in much the same way
in which w. X. Vanderbilt disposed of
a large stock of New York Central. OF
course there were two opinions on the
subject and there is no telling which is
right, but it can be said in behalf of the
rumor's correctness that Gould is uneasy
about his health and is anxious to re-
leve himself of some of his crushing
load of care. We're it not for the
boys" he might drop active business
altogether, but they are showing such a
capacity that naturally he is tempted
to keep the business IN the family.
Gould's less aggressive mood of late is
illustrated by his surrender in the cable
rate war, Wall street men say that
this was the first time that Gould ever
came to the enemy's terms in match
of endurance and resources, and that he
has now done so is referred to as a proof
that he is either losing his grip, or
doesn't care so much for victory as he
used to.
