Since l have been talking about the
novel things for early autumn now in
the dressmaker's hands, may give you
a list of the orders at present in process
of fulfllment in the workrooms OF
mOdiSte whose customers are among
those fortunate or unhappy people
dubbed the ultra-fashionable. A pale

hanging below; the round waist is full

More truly autumnal is a dress OF

body poised slightly forward has solved
in advance the problem Of dress reform;
for the clothes of the physically wise
women won't wrinkle or ride up il
there's never bone under them or in a
seam of them.
But, to return to our muttons, two
dresses just finished for the trousseau Of
Miss Sallie Hargous, who is to be mar
ried in September, illustrates very
clearly the demitrain and the new au-
tumn shapes and designs, which will
be studied by five hundred women wish
ing to be in the fashion, where one
woman has any thought of being whole
somely dressed and keeping well.
One Of these costumes-the artist has
illustrated both of them-is Of prim-
rose colored French challie; 1t is fig
ured with wild roses of q delicate, yet
vivid pink, their pale yellow hearts just
colnciding in tint with the gown. The
sides are fat, and down the front are
sash ends OF silk finished with lace and
ribbon bows; the basque has fall of
lace, and long ends of ribbon finished
the back. The bodice is of primrose
tinted silk and opens in V over the
challie; the ribbons that border it are
passed through pearl buckle and tied
in front. The fall sleeves have lace at
wrists and shoulders. A little capote
of jet and roses has been preferred for
an accompaniment on the promenade.
The other costume is of creamy
brown silk, striped with darker velvet
and figured between with pompadour
bouquets. 1t is made with the bell
skirt so fashionable and so inconvenient,
and has jacket Of brown armure silk
with revers of creamy lace trimmings.
These toilets have been designed in
New York, though much Of the bridal
wardrobe is coming from beyond seas.
Mountaineering dresses are among
the most interesting of those prepared
for late summer, and the one shown in
the picture is doubly worth attention.;
it is very serviceable model for other
use than climbing, and it was lately
finished in New York atelier after a
design sketched for her younger daugh-
ter by Mrs. Levi 2. Morton. The Nor
tons have been camping in the Adiron-
dackS, and gray serge striped with navy
blue and yellow was the material Of
this Adirondack gown. a sleeveless
bodice Of plain navy blue was tabled
over basque of the striped fabric, and
a plain overSkirt was draped over the
striped undergown. Gold spotted rib
bOnS and brown wing were the millin-
cry decorations.

Three New Pullman Trains for the D. q "
Norfolk s. Western Reducing Working
Force.

Force.
SnepherdstOun Register
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Compan has made contract with the
Pullman Company for three trains OF
seven coaches each to be placed on the
route between Baltimore and Cincin-
natl. These trains are TO be known as
the Southwestern Limited, and are to
be in construction and finish in every
way equal to the coaches OF the Royal
Blue Line between Baltimore and
New York. They will be of the stand
ard Pullman color, lighted with
Pintch gas, and have all of the most
modern equipments. They will be COM
pleted and delivered about the middle
of September. The forty additional
cars for the local service out OF Balti-
more and Washington, also built by the
Pullman Company, will most OF them De
ready the last of this week. The Is. ~
o. has also received from the Baldwin
Locomotive Works three more OF the
big engines for the Royal Blue Line,
making six now in use on that line.
These are the biggest railroad engines
now in use.
The freight and passenger business
now being done on the Western Mary
land railroad is heavier than ever before
in the history of the company. The
rolling stock and equipment is fully
employed, Notwithstanding the fact OF
a recent increase in the motive power
by four heavy consolidated freight en-
gines. Every hotel and cottage along
the line Of the Western Maryland rail-
road in the Blue Ridge is overlooking
with boarders. The construction of the
new branch from Williamsport to
Cherry Run, on the B. 81 o., is being
rapidly pushed forward.
The Norfolk & Western railroad is
cutting down its working force all along
the line, and it is said that reduction
of 500 has been made in its list OF en-
ployes, including section men, shop
hands, carpenters, painters and labor
ers. The only reduction made on this
end that we have heard of is the taking
off Of nine men from the ballast train,
although there Is rumor that the stone
crusher may be stopped for awhile.
The object is Said to be to curtail eX-
penSe to get money to meet October in
terest on the bonds of the company.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company has contracted to furnish the
White Star and Allen steamship lines
with 100000 tons Of Pocahontas coal.
Capt. Ed. L. Russell, a conductor on
the Valley Branch Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, formerly of Harper's
Ferry, died last week.

an unprejudiced individual would have
said this was quite unnecessary. The
street dress, indeed, has boldly and
without the hesitation that character
ICED its early experiments, taken to
itself a demi-train. This train, or dip,
falls from the waist in fan plaitings and
has usually a very narrow, founced
''dress improver" Of grass cloth to give
IL the required hang"
The all round reed is less common
than IL was two months ago, but that
the idea OF skirts swollen. and rotund
with hoops has not been abandoned is
10 be inferred from the fact that all
skirts are much increased at the foot,
aud from the other fact that the favor
tie trimming is a puff that stands out
full and large and round.
As skirts have heightened waists
have shortened. We shall not get back
quite to the empire fashion at present,
but the waist line is being carried up,
month by month, perceptibly, and this
with the demi-train produces an effect
"a II all women had suddenly grown
tall
Quite as interesting as any feature Of
what dreSSmakers call the autumn
STYLES" is the ingenuity expended on
ways and means of taking up the train.
There are many reasons why skirts at
present have 10 be lifted. There is the
simple and natural reason which ap-
peals 10 the average woman, who wears
the long dress without any especial pre-
judice for or against it, just because
IL Is the fashion; the dress Is too long.
There is the reason which appeals
20 the woman who goes 10 the
races this summer; she has most gor-
geOus stockings and they must be dis
PLAYED. There is the reason which ap-
pealS TO the women who crosses Broad
way and Twenty-third street; they
sometimes have and at other times
think they have pretty ankles. Put
ting one thing with another there Is a
lively interest In the new wrinkle, which
consists simply In finishing the fOund0-
ton skirt across the back-there being
no foundation in frOnt-with a ruche
or rufle, and putting a deep facing to
the outside material forming the dip,
so that when necessary 10 lift the out
side only is taken up in the hand.
This continuance and the cut OF the
skirt itself gains interest from the new

under way. The young enthusiasm
with which ChautauQUa has gone into
dress reform is fine. 1t will reclothe
the world with a set of resolutions.
But. bless you, the feminine half Of the
world hasn't sufficient idea of what
freedom Of body might mean to know
that il needs reclothing. The feminine
half Of the world wore short street
skirts for years and looked back with
scorn upon its mothers because

EX-REv. DAWSON
Found Guilty OF Some Non-Ministerial
Charges Preferred Against Him.


Charges Preferred Against Him.
The Rev. G. K. Dawson affair, which
has been aired so much in the papers,
has at last been settled. He was tried
by the church officials in Huntington
Monday. The Huntington Times says
of the affair:
THE case of G.. K. Dawson was tried
before the Quarterly Conference at the
residence of A. L. Gordon on Monday
night last, and the decision was that he
was guilty and as penalty that he be
expelled from the ministry and the
church. The charge on which he was
tried was that of falsehood, he having
been accused of prevaricationi in connec-
ton with crookedness with which he
had been accused. Dawson had been
charged that while at Belpre, O., he
had been guilty Of libeling one Miss
Root, and witnesses were examined TO
show that G.. X. Dawson, the defendant,
was the Identical person. We presume
that the people now feel relief. What
the outcome will be before the annual
conference, to which he has taken an
appeal, we know not, but the presump-
tion is there will be no reversal Of the
| decision"

"Shoebox" Miller was expected in the
city last night. His attorney, w. D..
Moore, said in the afternoon that Miller
would arrive from Cleveland after sup

true story of Miller's arrest. He said
that on the day after the Catfish rob-

bills he had paid out shortly before,
but Miller got the change and left

went after detectives and Miller was
taken.
