FRONTIER TRAINS.

Their Disinfection VIII BE Under Contro
of the Health Officers.
Collector Hopkins, of Detroit, asks by
by telegraph;
Referring to circular published il
this mornings paper, dated Sept. 8, rela
tive to trains crossing the frontier with
immigrants, under whose direction will
the disinfection be made and at whose
expense?"
Acting Secretary Spaulding replied:
"Disinfection must be under control
Of health officers; expense to be pro
vided for by them. 1t is presumed the
matter can be satisfactorily arranged in
a conference with the railroad com.
panies, as the department is advised
that the Canadian Pacific has alre ady
provided facilities for disinfection under
direction of health officers"
Another Precaution.
General Superintendent Kimbail, OF
the life-saving service, Tuesday after.
noon sent the following telegram to all
keepers of that service in the United
States:
Information has been received of ef-
forts to evade the quarantine regulations
of the country by attempting to land
from foreign vessels on beaches and
places outside of established ports of en-
try. You are therefore directed to pre-
vent the success of all such attempts
within your province"
This will result In the establishment
of a most effective gordon along the en-
tire coast of the United States.
Awful, If True.
CHICAGO, Sept Through what ap-
pears to be the carelessness of some one
or all of the local health authorities, a
train load of immigrants from European
ports was brought to this city by the
Wabash road between II O'Clock and
midnight Tuesday night and allowed to
go their way unmolested, without
fumigation or inspection of any kind.
The depot police as well as the train
men all expected confidently that in
spectors from the Chicago health de-
partment would be on hand ready to
make the proper investigation before the
immigrants were landed, and were nom
plused when they discovered that the
Europeans were to be allowed to go
where they pleased without Interrupt
ton.
1t would be utterly impossible for the
authorities to locate the immigrants
who stopped off in Chicago, and those
bound further west resumed their joul
ney before the officials of the health de
partment were awakened Wednesday
morning. Most of the crowd were di-
rect from Castle Garden, having landed
there last Saturday.
1t was understood that they were not
from cholera infected ports, but they
carried no certificates or paper of any
kind giving them clear bill of health.
For all the trainmen or depot authorities
knew, the immigrants might have
hailed from Hamburg.
A small portion of the crowd came
from Montreal, but it could not be as
certained how long they had lived in
Montreal before starting west. About
one-third of the whole number were
booked for Chicago and were allowed to
leave the station and seek shelter as best
they could.

Built on Faith.
Is,. Louis GIO6e-Democrat.I

From south Texas came man who built 600
miles Of railroad with S. bill and faith, and
the bill was q borrowed one. He moved uD
from Corpus Christi to San Antonio with all
his possessions heaped on a two wheeled cart,
He got charter to build q railroad from San
Antonio to Arkansas Pass.
He graded mile of it, throwing good deal
more than one shovelful with his own hands.
The receiver of another road loaned this indie.
fatigable builder enough old rails for mile Of
track.
In distant part of the State was purchased
an engine which had been condemned six years
before, and sent to the shops to be wrecked fer
scrap iron. Two old cars were picked up some
where else at a bargain.
And that old engine, drawing those old cars,
steamed into San Antonio. On engine and cars
in bold lettering was painted in lampblack,
"S. A. and A. p"
With one mile of old-rail track, and with
the equipment of the old engine and the two
old cars, Uriah Lott started the Arkansas Pass
System. There has been some tall fnancierin2
in the history of railroad building in this coun-
try, but there isn't anything which for dazzling
pluck quite approaches the story Of the build
ing of this 600 miles of road in south Texas.
To the one mile of track there was added
three miles by dieker of some second hand
rails which q street-car company had boughs
from marrow gauge company. On this basis
;redit trade was made with Pennsylvania
olling-mill for 10 miles of rails.
When they arrived there wasn't money
enough in the treasury to pay the freight, but
il was got somehow.
Ten miles of track gave the foundation for
onds which built 40 miles more, and SO the
-ystem grew into its present proportions
This man who built the Arkansas Pass System

II period in his enterprise, without cent In

She still stared hard ont Of the window, and
continued to do so for some time. At last she
turned her head. and with eyes that told OF
the great struggle through which she had been,
and that told Of the crushing of her hopes and
the sundering Of all ties between them, she
said in low, strained voice:
"You know my heart and il know my duty.

varies, as do the other fashions. For evening
wear, too huge lunches Of roses are not worn so
much, but, instead, single flower Is carried or
worn. And it seems kinder to the roses than
to have them subjected to the rough treatment
that they invariably receive at a crowded dance
or reception. Flowers play a more important
part than ever in the decoration of rooms, and
every attention is given to their best care and

Cloaks are made of 80 much variety Of mate

can be Of cloth, velvet, silk, or fur of the same

Sometimes triple capes are made of velvet for a
cloth coat and sometimes Of the plain mate
rial. They are edged with fur, velvet, or the
cut-edges simply finish them. Belts are seen
on many of the coats. and are frequently grace
full. The collars are as unique as sleeves. and
it is only required that they be becoming in
order to be stylish.
Garibaldi waists of bright color are worn
with plain skirts and make very pretty theater
or house gowns. These waists are gathered at
the mock and at the narrow belt. The sleeves
are gathered into narrow band-cnff; the
waists are not closed down the front, but, open,
showing narrow strip of bright silk.

A dainty dessert is called "velvet cream"
and consists of three or four slices Of sponge
cake spread with jelly or jam and soft
ened with glass of wine or of sweet milk
and served with q cream sauce. To make the
sauce dissolve tablespoonful of gelatine in a
little cold water. add to it pint of cream,
sweeten and boil it gently for few minutes.
When it is almost cool pour it over the cake
and then set the dessert away to get cool be-
fore serving.
Fish can be kept fresh with vinegar better
than with ice. A little should be poured over
them. Steaks that are tough can be made more
tender by soaking them in a few tablespoonfuls
of vinegar for an hour or two, turning them
once or twice. Many cooks pound steaks to
make them tender, but this is in every way a
bad habit.
Paint and varnish can be more successfully
cleaned with q rag saturated with coal oil, than
with soap and water.

Again we are warned that hoops and crino-
lines are to be poked upon US By the autocratic
dress makers with the styles of 1880 and 1892,
aud the fashion books are beginning to show
tho distended skirts among the clinging ones
of the present day. "Skirts are being made
fuller and heavier, something is needed to
support the extra fullness, hence hoops" is the
logic of the dress.makers. Skirts are being
made fuller, there is no doubt of that more's
the pity, and are already being stiffened around
the bottom to give them the flare now SO styl-
ish, but hoops have not Us yet put in an ap-
pearancs, at least in everyday life. To use
bit of counter reasoning it does not seem as
though they ever will. In the first place,
women have too much sense. The present
skirt is light, easily managed, and graceful,
while The erinolines are perfectly inartistic and
tro' ne. Then, there are too many women
Whose ly life is incompatible with hoops.
The woman who rides bicycle for instance,
imagine her in hoops, or the women who live
in New York fats, where it is said the dogs
must even wag their tails up and down for lack
of room to perform tho motions sideways.
Imagine any of our busy women waddlng
around in hoops; it seems ridiculous. The
women who have nothing else to do may wear
them, but it seems impossible that any other
should adopt them. They are worse than demi-
trains

yitiated, brackish water of its hurtful
properties and execrable flavor, counter
acts the pernicious effects upon the
stomach Of bad or indigestible fooa,
remedies cramps, heartburn and wind
npcn the stomach. 1t is a fine defense
against malarial disorders, nullifies the
effects OF excessive heat, cold and damp,
relieves sick headaches, and Is an in
comparable cure for costiveness and
biliousness. The fatigue of travel often
tells most disastrously upon inyalids
and convalescents, occasionally to such
an extent as TO ieopardize life. Persons
in feeble health, apprehensive OF bad
effects from travel, will, If provided with
the .Bitters. be far less likely to have
their fears realized.
