tore her in the meeting In progress
this afternoon, and by the results OF
that meeting she must stand or fall
The mountain IL not coming to meet
Mohomet and Mohomet must go and
meet the mountain or there will he no
meeting between them For the
grading Of her share of the road and
putting the bed i'm condition fo
ties, culverts, bridges and iron, San
Antonio can secure guarantee
under bond that the road will be
built and operated. The payments
for the work are not demanded in ad
vance, but in installments as the work
is finished and trains running from
point to point. The amount Of money
is small amount for city OF this
size and wealth to pay. 1t amount
TO OnA.half of one per cent on the
assessable values Of he city, and had
the sra Q law, or the city charter per-
mitted it. the vote TO bond the city
for that amount would have carried
three to one. By such levy
all men would he compelled
to contribute according to their
means towards the carrying out of
those public enterprises in with all
equally share. such levy Is Of course
impossible under the law, and the
funds must come from our citizens or
not come at all. II that road does not
come to this city, many of those
beautiful visions of coming prosperity
which now float before the eyes Of our
people will vanish like the baseless
ia brio of a dream San Antonio can
do q great many foolish things and
survive, but she cannot refuse to
give this road the financial help
necessary to insure its immediate
construction and expect her present
prospects OF increase to survive
Every city within reach of those ore
beds is moving for railway connec-
ton with them, and the first in gets
the big plums In the fat corner of the
pie. There Is such an OBVIOUS neces-
atty for this road, and such great
benefits TO be secured to us through
it's constructions; the benefits so sure
to be secured so great In proportion
to the outlay, that It does seem
strange that our citizens hesitate over
closing the matter out At once. The
only solution OF the matter IL that the
moss on some Of our gold bearing
trees is still abnormally thick.

The Nape of the Neck.

Cleveland Leader.
Very few women know how impor-
tant the nape of the neck is. If there
is one point of the body that the aver
age girl neglects and the wise beauty
cares for it is this spot
why there is nothing" said q
gorgeous example of the sex, "that
finally completes beautiful woman's
triumph as does the nape of her neck
II the line is graceful, if the skin is
pure, and the small, accidental rings
of hair that fall there are artistic
ally managed, the spell that this part
of woman eXerts over man Is tre-
mendous. / must say that few
women have good napes. A girl
who always wears her dresses cut
high 10 her hair will usually be dark
and unattractive there. There's
nothing like the air to purify the
skin, and the more a girl lets her
neck catch the breezes the fairer it
will get. This is not generally be-
lieved, but let any woman ask her
self II the few dark spots on her are
not just where the skin has been
constantly hot and covered. Well
the nRpe of the neck is peculiar in
this regard. To be white it must be
kept free from woOlens and the hair.
Once given good skin the rest is
easy. OF course the neck shows to
the best advantage when the hair is
brushed up and away from it, but
there should be some tiny little stray
thistledOwns ofhsir falling away from
the rest. These must be natural
mind, or, at least, Just separated
and curled with the fingers. Oh, the
horror of the girl who has curled that
part of her hair with an iron and oh
the crime of the girl who has made q
bang there! II the hair is skillfully
managed and the skin white, then
the only thing desired is the good
line. A woman who presses her chin
down and holds her head stiffly can
not have a good line at the neck. The
chin must be raised little and the
head somewhat up and pushed for
ward. This gives q perfect angle
from just between the shoulders to the
hair.

Advice for Stout Women.

From the New York Ledger.
"SOme years ago." said a remark
ably stylish woman, ~ became alb
solutely wTetched and morbid on the
subjectof stoutness. / WAS getting
stout very rapidly, and my dresses
had to be changed and IL worried me
80 that | was reluctant to make my
clothes as large as they should have
been. so L squeezed myself in and
laced myself until I was the most
uncomfortable, miserable mortal inn
aginable. And the worst of it all
was, the:tighter laced, the more
out Of shape seemed to look. I be-
gan to think was losing my figure
altOg ether, and half resolved to give
up society and good dresses entirely.
\ bout this a good friend of mine
came to me for q few days visit.
was one day bewailing the situation,
when she gave me bit of advice on
which / have acted ever since with
the most satisfactory results. She
was fairly plump herself, and her in
structions were the result OF exper-
fence.
From that time on / have never
put on dress in which was not alb
soIutely comfortable. My waists
are reasonably short with some ar
rangement OF drapery falling from
the bust below the waist line, when
ever the style of dress permits it, |
have just the least possible sugges-
ton of q hustle, aud the sides of my
dresses are as nearly fiat and with
out gathers or plaits as possible
"My sleeves are set we'll up on the
shoulders, and any fullness is ar
ranged in rather long, dropping lines
Fortunately, my neck is not so very
short, and / wear my collars as
high as possible and slightly fiaring.
L find V-shaped frouts more becom-
ing, and these are fiji in with soft
black, either crepe lisse or he very
finest Brussels net, and inside of this
narrow line of white. My sleeves
are opened at. the outside of the
wrists and buttoned over, but not
30 closely as to make my hands look
large.
my house dresses are as long as I
can conveniently wear them. For my
ordinary dresses, when / have GER
tain things in the household 10 look
after, have heavy cord which 1
knot around my waist. Inside of
this, draw up the skirt of my dress
at the sides and front, sometimes the
back also, This keeps the lower
edges from becoming soiled, and per-
mits me ogo about much more east
