In looking back over the holiday sea-
son. one OF the most curious features In
fashionable circles was the quaint designs
In jewelry and the profusion Of diamonds,
or alleged diamonds that were shown. Our
artist has sketched a few OF them. There
is back comb that cost $1s5. A wish-bone
design that sold for $50. A witch design
In diamonds $140. There was also a novel;
ty In the way OF q solitaire diamond ear
ring which does not require that the ears
be pierced. There being screw that
pinches the ear slightly and thus secures
the ornament.
After all, there is nothing that quite ap-
peals to one like jewelry. As long as wo-
men last upon the face of the earth. just
so long, will little absurdities in the way
OF ornament be acceptable.

A GRIEVANCE
WHICH WHEELING BUSINESS MEN PROPOSE
TO PROTEST AGAINST.
Talk Of a Meeting Of the Chamber Of Commerce
10 Otec! to "Dsmmurrass' Bills Sent 10
b. 8 Pittsturg Car Service
Company.

For a good while past business men
and manufacturers OF this city have
been annoyed by the presentation Of
bills from the Pittsburg Car Service
Company, calling for payment for what
is termed 'demurrage, arising out OF
the alleged detention by conSigneeS of
cars containing goods shipped here from
other points. After submitting to these
charges for 4 good while, our local bus
mess men show some symptoms of REBEL
ing. and there is talk of calling the
Chamber of Commerce together Ia special
session to consider the matter and apply
a remedy.
The principle upon which these ode
murrage" bills are made ont is this: The
Car. Service Company engages with Rail
road Company 10 keep lis ears ION the
move" aud when goods are shipped,
and arrive at the city 0i their dcStlna
tion the Car Service Company is mott
fled of the day and hour Of arrival and
the name of the consignee. If the ears
are uOl ul4iOdutl Hlluiil IL Np''ih'N tith'f
the Service Company takes account OF
the overtime, and bill for the over
time is made out and sent in 10 the per
son, firm or corporation To whom the
car was billed.
This would not, perhaps, be so very
unreasonable, If the ears were AT all
times run into depOts or on 10 SidingS
where the cOnsigneeS could get at them,
they having been first notified of the
location of the car; but il is claimed
that as a matter of fact railroad COM
panies often run cars into places where
they can not be gotten at, and con
slgnees are not notified, either OF their
arrival or location. Under these cir
cumstances, bills for "demurrage" are
naturally received with very little favor,
and raise big kick.
A very prominent manufactures said
yesterday:
we receive these ''demurrage" bills
quite often, but have never paid them.
When they come along we notify the
parties that they will not be paid, ana
that has been the end of it, with us. /
believe some Others have paid such
bills. The matter has caused consider
able annoyance TO manufacturers and
business men, aud hear talk Of 4
meeting"
Another gentlemen said:
IL am in favor of business men TAX
ing action. know of one instance
where goods were left standing on Il
siding here for nine days, aud then
bill for demurrage came in. The party,
il seems to ne. was caused to suffer
enough 10y having the goods delayed.
without having TO pay in addition
There is great deal Of complaint"
Some business men, when confronted
with demurrage bills, have filed coun-
ter-claims for delay, others have paid
the bills, and still others have refused
TO pay. 1t is stated that the Car Sery-
ice Company has entered one suit.

OF the famous play to be given at the

ard SAYS: As was 10 be expected, the

onghly the artistic property OF The cast
that It's presentation from hrst TO ias'
is one nnhrokem delight. No donot the
strongest human interest and the entire
ability of the playwright and his inter
meters are centered in the scene OF the
burglary. but it IS nevertheless TACT
thar while the act in question is whole
scene in itself, The Burglar is as iar
removed from being one scene or SIN
gle incident play as it is possible Tor IL
to be. The company is so well balanced
and the whole performance moves SO
smoothly that an evening spent at the
play this week Is sure to leave in the
mind of the spectator the satisfaction
of time proiitably passed.
