Hill and Cleveland Leaders Confer.
A conference of the Hill and Cleve-
land leaders with Senator German began
in parlor No. 106 of the Palmer House at
IL o'clock. 1t began with German.
Ransom, of North Carolinas VIC.
Whitney, Grover Cleveland's manager,
and Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, one
of Hills right hand men, and Henry
.Watterson. It had only been in pro-
gress few minutes when Mr.. Whitney
came ont and made bee line for the
headquarters Of the Tammany men.
Apparently his mission was successful,
for Boss Croker and Chairman Murphy
soon made their appearance and were at
once shown into the room as if they
were expected.
Meantime the hour of the meeting of
the national committee approached, and
Henry Watterson and Senator Ransom
came out and passed into the adjoining
room to sustain the action of the joint
subcommittee in reaffirming the selec-
ton of Owens, of Kentucky, as temper
ary chairman.
Mr.. Ransom said he could form no
idea how soon the conferees whose pres
ence he had left would agree upon a
plan of joint action, or whether they
could come to any arrangement at all.
lone thing is certain" he added,

Cleveland cannot carry North Carolina,
and we have to agree upon somebody
who can carry New York"
Couldn't Tempt German.
Just before this conference opened
Senator Brice, Of Ohio, called ON Sena-
tor German and remained closeted with
him for half an hour. It was thought
that out of this conference would come
the announcement of Germans candi-
dacy. There was a disappointment for
the anxious watchers, however, for
when Mr.. Brice had closed his converse
hon with Mr.. German the Maryland
senator remained as dumb as he has
been ever since he came TO Chicago
From his silence, however, the story
quickly grew that he had rejected the
overtures of the anti Cleveland people,
and this story was in part confirmed by
some members of the Maryland delega-
tion. They said that when Mr.. Brice
called on Mr.. Gorman he assured him
that If he would allow his name to be
used he would receive 400 votes on the
first ballotc-the concentration of the
anti Cleveland vote, This assurance
does not seem to have tempted Mr..
Gorman very strongly. for Senator Glib
son, who has acted as Mr.. Gorman's
spokesman, said at noon that it was not
probable that Mr.. German would allow
the use OF his name unless he had some
greater assurance of strength, as he
feared that he might suffer the fate of
Mckinley at Minneapolis.

Georgia Railroad Building.
Editor Times:

Edit or Times:
Railroad construction in Georgia is so often
spoken of that IL may not DO uninteresting TO
explain some of the reasons controlling 1t.
The State is unexceptional in its geograpi-
cal location. and lin It's biography IT pre-
SCENTS very few engineering difficulties.
It's northern line IS the southern limit of the
great Appalachian ranges of mountains. For
several hundreds of miles northward there
are but few passes for railroads between the
Northwest and the seacoast and from the
Eastern to the Southwestern States.
Railroads. therefore, are forced to flank
these mountains, and they do it.
The cost of a railroad in Virginia is several
times more per mile than the cost IN Georgia
Georgia railroads are not to-day built for
Georgia business. The railroad construction
in that State is almost wholly confined to
short cuts" and TO extending and COM
plotting lines for through business. IL will be
instructive for any one interested TO place
tracing of the general railroad map of
Georgia in Poors Manual for 1891 over the
map in the manual for 1890. He will find
that the only new road of any considerable
length was one which. In May last. went into
receivership only half completed.

a black tulle with Pompadour figures over a
silk foundation. There is a demi-tTaiD which
is trimmed with ruche gathered in the
middle and fastened at the top and bottom.

lined with silk, laced at the back, cut
square in front and partially covered with
velvet figaro Ornamented with pink feather
trimming; short velvet sleeves over those OF
tule. The fronts of the figaro are hooked to
the corsage and may either constitute part oil
il or be put on separately. The ball costume
is made up IN Persian lilac satin, shade
OF pink mauve. The high faring collar is In
silver embroidery, stihened and fastened 10
the neck with reversed sti ching. The tabller
is in silk muslin embroidered with silver,
and is sewed on one side and hooked on the
other. The tablier also forms the plastron.
1t is lined with white silk and the scallops at
the bottom are ornamented with silver
fringe. The long train has thickness OF
flannel or thin wooden stuff between the ma
terial and the silk foundation. The girdle is
of silver filigree and has two long pendant
ends at the front.
1t has long been a mooted question whether
a lady of fashion went 10 a grand dinner
party TO please the host or herself. Certainly
there is no particular pleasure IN attending
such an entertainment, rather 1t IS from
start to finish still, ceremOniOus and unsO-
ciable proceeding, interrupted by awkward
pauses, long waits and the arrival OF
thoroughly indigestible food. Therefore,
would it seem more logical to claim that the
lady Ct fashion goes there 10 show her dinner
dress. a gown which, barring the low neck
and short sleeves, often surpasses the ball

was bunch of the feather trimming which
was in cream white, while the gown llSeH

let's, / am reminded OF the Able Gobeliu's
protest against the beautiful gowns OF NJ adam
de Mainten0n, who, however, was not yet the
famous woman she was destined TO become,
but plain Widow Scarron. Said the Able;
"You should dress more simply and in this
way overcome your iDordlnate desire TO
please" TO which the lady replied that she
was really dressed as plainly as little
country girl. Il couldn't make my costume
any palmer; there is not ribbon or piece
of lace that l could do without" But the
confessor refused TO be convinced.

To return to that fascinating subject, ball
dresses and their coDc0mitants, l SHOULDN'T
fail 10 remind you that pearls have been all
the rage this season. If you can afford the
real gems, so much the better for you, but the
imitation are good enough for some OF us.
Anyway, you can't very well use too many
of them. They should be worked into the
berthas and twists OF thin material which are
applied TO the edges Of c0rsages, and they
NAV also be sown over the dress itself. A
pearl necklace made up of three or four
strands is very good in its way, but the modish
thing is the dog collar, and it brings out the
beauty of fine skin in most delightful
manner. / don't suppose l need warn the

full creation pictured in my last illustration.
1t is the genuine thing, rich, harmonious and
intricate, and is made up as follows: A
straight skirt, a corsage with paniers, both
richly embroidered, and a train trimmed with
swans down, the corsage also being trimmed
with the swans down, which frames the
V-shaped cut-out at the back after it leaves
the front. fhe embroidery consists OF an ap-
plque and gold stitching. The folds Of the
train are supported on the underskirt by
ribbon band. The train itself is made up Of
the back pieces, with the round sides turned
toward them, they furnishing the requisite
fulness. The Vatican fold springs from
middle Of the back. The pointed corsage
hooks in the middle, one side crossing over
the other. The leg o'mutton sleeves are en-
brodered at the wrist and are tight from the
elbow down and pulled at the shoulder. but
not much raised. The band Of swans down
which ornaments the side that crosses is not
sewed 10 1T, otherwise the corsage could not
be put on, but it is fastened at the lower part
OF the waist. In putting on tue dress pass the
band Of swans down over the head.

is still danger Of another water famine. Few
people know how near they were to a famine

walls of the City Hall. The situation was
equally as serious as 1t was week ago.
The supply of water was entirely cut of from
one of the tunnels for hours at q time. The
clogging oil another had begun. but the her
culean efforts of the fifteen or twenty meu
finally prevailed and the channel was
cleared. A diminished supply ut the
