Difference Retweeu Women.

A Kentuckian. speaking of the northern
fashion OF letting woman hustle for herself
In public places, says that this is entirely due
to the demeanor Of the northern woman her.
SELF When he is south he always resigns
his seat IN public vehicle to woman, and
makes it his business to secure her comfort
whenever po! sible, regarding the welfare of
every woman as the special care of every
man. In the south the women are dependent,
contiding and helpless.
In the north they know what they want
and they go and get it with a rapidity that
startles the average man. The northern
woman buys her own car ticket, checks her
baggage, gets aboard, buys newspaper,
looks around for seat and waits her turn
for one with all the independence and cour-
age of any man that can be produced. She
wants no favors and she asks for none. This
is so plainly apparent that, as the Ken
tuckian says, he is half afraid to offer her
any favors for fear she may resent his
interference; and even when he is sure that
she will not, and when she looks at him long
ingly he himself is half provoked at the gem
eral swing of the sex here in the north and
would not offer her a seat anyway.
When she Is north she must hustle as
northern women hustle. And when he is
north he will do as northern men do. Not
the slightest grain of soflness is found in his
makeup for the northern woman unac-
compauied by her escort. Not the slightest
grain of sternness is felt for the southern
woman when he sees her alone. The former
may do the best she can. The latter may
revel in all the luxury which the chance man
may be able to provide for her.
All the girls are going in for health and
athletics They must not-they simply must
not-appear sick. They must have fine
color, bright eyes, glossy hair, round elbows
and long swinging gait that is half a
that thev are not marvels of strength and
robustness.

Shortly after General Manderson's depart

which time the post was practically reor-
ganized, with Marcellus II. Risdon as com
mander and Charles E. Burmester as

was reduced from Sl5 to 81, thus opening the
doors for many veterans who had before been

three farmers living along the line of a rail-

Railroad Tn ewes.

One Of the great evils with which railroads
have to contend is the stealing of goods from
cars while in transit. This business is gen
orally pursued by organized gangs who oper-
ate at points where freight trains are gencr-
ally DELAYED for several hours from various
causes. The gangs always consist, wholly or
in part, of railroad men, switchmen ana
brakemen and sometimes conductors of
freight crews.
All freight cars containing through freight
are sealed at the point where they are loaded.
When the cars are transferred from one sys-
TEN to auoIh her the seals are generally broken
and the contents of the car examined, after
which the car is sealed with the seal of the
system over which it is to pass. These seals
are inspected AZ the various stations where
the train stops and if they are intact 1t is
taken for granted that the car has not been
opened. When the car arrives at its destina-
tion however, it is frequently found that the
contents have not only been disturbed put Il
greater or less quantity distracted.
Especially is this is so in the case OF car
containing liquors or tobacco II is com
mon occurrence in the experience OF every
railroad to hnd that large quantities or
liquors or tobacco IN various forms, especially
cigars, have been distracted from cars,
although the seals apparently remain intact
The Union Pacific road has passed through
several seiges of just such experience ana
has suffered heavy losses at the hands OF the
robbers The principal points or operation
on his system seem to be at Green ltlVer
Wyo.. and PocatellO, Idaho AT both these
points freight trains west bound are delayed
for several hours, generally in the night
time and it is here that the robbers got in
their fine work.
Tne gang is generally well organized and,
from the very nature Of things, they hang
together. They provide themselves with
seals bearing the stamp OF the principal
terminal points on the system, such as Omaha,
Kansas City Denver, etc, anu these are used
20 replace the ones which are removed from
he cars The cars are opened and such Of
tie contents removed as are desired and then
the car is closed and sealed again.

The latest trousseau which attracted atten-
tention in Paris was made for u wealthy
young Englshwoman. The latest illustration
shows one OF these gowns, an evening toilet
of brocade, velvet, and mousselne chiffon,
made as follows; Trained skirt with princess
front Of brocade a draped hounce of chiffon
is set across the front and sides of the
skirt at the hem; very long coat
body of velvet has open fronts over the bro
cade, and is filled in at the neck with drapery
of lace; the high tiaring collar and the fronts
of the body are of passementerie; shoulder
caps of velvet. with puffed sleeves of chiffon.
The number of different sleeves worn this
year Is marvellous. They are almost as var
led as the dress materials, yet when studied
they are found to be outgrowths of the Valois
sleeve famIliarized TO us by portraits of
Catharne de Medici, and seen also quite as
often in masculine as in feminine portraits of
that effeminate epoch. This style of sleeve,
close on the lower arm and wide and high at
the top, is used on any and all costumes, and
for jackets, wraps, tea-gowns and even night
dresses. This is the outline of the ruling
model but the adjustment and manipulation
of stuffs and trimmings forming it are past
numbering even.
