the Hotel VanKeuren, which was time
ly after the large amount OF warfare

Description of the Proposed Wedge-Nosed
Electric Cars.
The standard schedule time Of all
through cars on the proposed Chicago
and st. Louis electric railroad will be
100 miles per hour. The trip from st.
Louis to Chicago can, therefore, be
made in from two and half to three
hours. 1t will be unnecessary to travel
at night; therefore no through paSsen-
ger ears will be run after o'clock p.
m, the tracks being reserved at night
for high-class freight, express and mail.
The character of the electric car is
shown In the cut. 1t is a long, low,
compact, light, but strong car, having
two pairs OF driving wheels, each OF
which are driven by separate and dis
tinct electric motor. The whole weight
OF the car, with it's passengers and the
two electric motors, comes upon these
two pairs of driving wheels, and is,
therefore, all available for traction or
adhesion between the rails and the
wheels, through the agency Of which
the car is propelled. The top
OF the car stands only nine
feet from the rail, which is three

New YORK, February 23.-The god
dess of Fashion is really a very much
overworked divinity. The season has
been one OF unprecedented activity,
merciless In its demands for novelty,
variety, and originality in dress de-
signs, and now, before it is over, the
shops are overlooking with spring fab
rics and women are clamoring to know
how things are going to be made for
spring. The dress-makers have scarce
ly had time to take account Of stock, so
eager are their customers for attention.
Every wise woman knows that the time
to buy her spring gown is in February,
and that the assortment OF novelties Is
much larger then than 1t will be in
March. She knows, too, that the woman
that hesitates to order her gowns made
before the first Of March will be staying
in on fine days in April because she
hasn't anything TO wear.
Many OF these gowns are intended for
the Lenten fitting of the WORKOUT buds
and bellies to recuperate from the sea-
sons fatigue in Southern orange groves
or in Mediterranean sunshine, and they
are plain and masculine in finish.

long as it is wide, and to adjustit neatly
a thread should be run in slightly to
gather in the upper side. The lace be-
low the chin forms becoming soft folds,
and through its meshes bright eyes
glow and sparkle with soft splendor.
Any kind of lace that one can see
through may be used, though the heavy
Russian nets are still the favorite
choice, while the flower-sprayed Brus-
sells nets and the bordered veilings are
novel and costly fancies OF ultra fash
ionable people. With bonnet the
short veil is the choice for obvious rea-
sons, and the important point is to ad-
just it neatly with no huttering ends or
bunchy folds. A careless woman can
without trying make S25 bonnet look
like Fourteenth street bargain, and

This brings the centre of gravity very
low and near to the track, which de-
creases immensely the danger OF jump
ing the track. 1t has wedge-shaped
nose or front for cutting the air, which
has the effect of decreasing the air re-
sistance a most important factor In
high speed locomotionl and of helping
10 keep the car down upon the track.
The motor man stands Immediately
back of this wedge-shaped front, and
between his department and the rear
wheels is the compartment for the ac-
commodation Of passengers. In the
rear OF this is separate compartment
for mail and high-class express.
The driving wheels are six feet In d.
ameter and are capable of making 500
revolutions in one minute.
The weight of the entire car with its
motors is but ten tons.-EtectrteaI

AMONG THE MILLS.
A QUIET WEEK IN LOCAL INDUSTRIAL
FIELDS
The Removal Of the RtisbVrg Factories Of the
U. s Glass Company an Assured Fact
Interesting Local Notes.

The past week was not productive OF
any material changes in the local indus
trial situation. The general condition
Of trade is reported about the same. and
that is not altogether satisfactory. In
iron and steel lines trade is rather dis
couraging, while in glass and pottery
there is much room for improvement.
The building trades are beginning to
show signs Of the activity which is pre-
curSive Of a prosperous season.
-
The officials OF the United States
Glass Company admit that the reported
removal OF its PittSburg factories TO a
point In the MonOngahela Valley is
more than idle rumOr, Ii is said to be
another move 70 decrease expenses.
The objects, as stated by President
Ripley, are 70 centraliZe the business Of
the seven factories, and also save the
expense Of heavy taxation. The latter
reason is made more prominent, il
being alleged that the company now
pays taxes in PittSburg upon 500. 600
worth of property. The company has
received an offer OF 1000 acres of
ground, with gas, water and taxes free
for a period of ten years. tits the in
tention 70 occupy about 100 acres of
land for the different buildings OF the
company, the plans comprising Is fur
naces, and 10 mark the remainder oil in
lots, TO be disposed of TO the employees.
1t is estimated that 10000 people will be
taken from Pittsburg. That city has
lost Is glass factories during the past
ten years, and il the United States
Company carries out its plans, that
number will be increased to %. Mana
ger II. E. Waddell, Of Factory II, in
this city, was seen by q REGISTER rep
resentative in regard to the removal of
the factories, and he admitted that the
matter has been talked of, and would
probably be carried out, but it will be
six months before il assumes tangible
shape. The removal will not in any
way affect the local factories.

To achieve an air of elegant d!stinc-
tinction in dress is not easy at a New
York gathering of handsomely costumed
women, but lady accomplished il re-
Gently by the aid OF Worth dress and
a divinely tall and stylish figure. The
most singular thing about it was that 1t
was accomplished by black gown. The
woman was a radiantly brilliant brun-
cite, who in a bright dress would have
been quite the reverse Of elegant, and
probably not looked at twice. The ma
terial was fine but roughsurfaced black
wool, made with long and gracefully
sweeping skirt, edged with narrow
band of black and old rose brocaded
silk, set in between two bands Of black
velvet, studded with jet cabochons. The
coat had huge sleeves Of brocade, which
was remarkably rich and heavy and re-
vealed the dull old rose only in the deep
lines of the raised pattern. The coat,
lined throughout with old rose satin,
had broad smart revers Of the brocade,
and opened over rose satin full waist,
studded with jet beads and belted with
broad black velvet girdle, from which
loops and ends hung on either side OF
the front, A Titan beauty at the same
reception, who evidently had the cour-
age of her convictions, was symphony
in color in a muiberry-red brown dress
several shades darker than her hair.
