Of mink tails with white lace and
bright ribbons cunningly knotted in
with fur. yet that perfect peace which
passes all masculine understanding
comes only TO the girl who knows first
and best, and airs her knowledge Sc
renely before the faces of other girls
who are yet asking and wondering and
trying to make up their minds.
For many fashions are called, but
few are chosen, and it is by an inscru-
table instinct that the girl who knows
picks a winner without wasting time,
money and good looks on styles that
after opening day will be left behind.
The girl who knows is wearing.
when she shows herself in the street
and shop these afternoons, a dull rust
red and dark green combination that
makes her look like the goddess of au-
tuInn out hunting bargains. Irish
frieze cloth is the stuff of it, the new
est material by the way-and here
comes in one of the girls triumphs-
that the season has to display. Frieze
used to be too heavy, you know. for
wearing, but now it's woven light
enough for the girl to be the picture of
grace and triumph as she stands
clothed in it, buying white asters at
street stand.
Dull red is the body of her dress, and
the green appears in the deep velvet
collar, cut into tongues about shoulders
and back like the fur tails it parodies-
The green appears again in cuffs at the
wrists, in the velvet belt with big per-
pendicular bows, and in the two great
velvet knots on the front of the skirt,
near the bottom. 4 yoke of cream lace
softens and lightens the bodice, and as
the girl turns and looks at you in reply
to your staring, you have fine view
of her rather eccentric hat, plated of
narrow green silk braid and trimmed
with garland of loose rust red chrys-
anthemums.
This is all Of the girls costume ex-
cept her green gloves and yes, her throat
band. But the girls throat band is,
after all, the most important part of
her gown. 1t rises from the broad col
lar l spoke of before and like it is made
of green velvet. 1t has rosette in
front with a paste buckle and on either
side of the neck it stretches into high
fan-shaped ear pieces. thrust through
with glittering little stick pins.
The throat band of this dress is
part of the collar, but the girl has ono

reason for believing that murder may

by little red placards, and the order
for their distribution came by mail
from San Francisco, where they had
already been plentifully sprinkled.
Freely translated they read:

II is curious TO note that so little
were the Chinese AFFILIATED with other

the writer of the meeting of the plac-

Writing History.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Ihen1is pub
fishes an article from the pen of c. G..
Goodwin, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune,
the object of which is to give credit to
Theodore D. Judah as the principal brain
worker engaged in the building of the
Central Pacific Railroad. The object of
this criticism is not to detract one iota
from the merits of Mr.. Judah, who is de-
serving of more honor and fame for his
engineering skill and pioneering labors
in giving TO the people transcontinental
railroad, than he has ever received.
But history should be correctly written
or not written at all. Judge Goodwin's
article is all right in the main, but when
he puts Judah TO building the wagon road
from Dutch Flat across the Sierra, before
constructing any part OF the Central Pa
cific beginning at Sacramento, he gets
the cart before the horse; when the
Judge wears Judah out after the COM
pletion Of the Central Pacific to
Ogden, and makes him lie down
and die, he adds a considerable span to
the great engineers lite, for he died be-
fore the railroad had scaled the nights OF
the Sierras, it having only been laid to
about Alta in Placer County at the time
of his death. When the Judge says that
Judah was among men like Saul, he
was taller than most of them; he was
strongly made; he was massive every
way" it is evident he did not know
Judah, who was a small man, about five
feet six inches in hight, and not weigh
ing over I35 pounds.
The article in the ThcmiS is one of a
series on Pacific Coast men, under the
head LAS l Remember Them" He is OFT
in his memory of Judah, and the order of
some of the events connected with the
building of the Central Pacific.

y Simple Proposition.


EDS. RECORD-UNIoN: Having been
present at the sewerage meeting on Sat-
urday evening and listened to the discus
sion that took place, would like to say
few words on the subject through your
columns.
1t seemed to me that many of the gen.
tlemen present-members of the Board OF
Health and others--did not seem to grasp
the situation. They insisted on discuss
ing the various systems of sewerage In
use, and persistently overlooked the fact
that such was not the question at issue.
President Lawton of the City Board OF
Trustees clearly enough explained the
object of the conference to be to consider
Engineer Newbury's plan for making
the present system effective for few
years by disposing of the sewage and
drainage, and at the same time regularly
flushing the sewers.
Mr.. Newbury claims that this can be
easily done, and the present system inn
proved or new one substituted when
ever the city's finances will permit. And
even his plan for disposing of the sewage
and flushing the sewers by force can still
be made part of whatever system may
be adopted.
Assuming that the city is not prepared
to go to several hundred thousand dol
lars expense at present for a new system,
the simple question is, shall the people
avail themselves of this opportunity for
getting rid of the sewage and the abolition
of the obnoxious cesspool system? w.

The Americans in the Mosquito Reser-
vation sustain the British in landing
marines, and complain bitterly of the
cruel trespasses of Nicaragua. We are
fully warranted in believing what our
countrymen allege in the premises. Mic
aragua seems determined to brew trouble
for US out of this matter. We ought to
give the little Central American State to
understand that the rights of Ameri-
cans there must be maintained. That
the trouble may involve the Nicaragua
Canal project should not deter US from
standing firm for the rights of Mosquito
tribes in the Reservation.

A Cry for Help

In the stiffness of the night is sufficiently
startling. What if no aid be at hand or
we know not whence the cry comes? !?
This is not the case with that mute appeal
made to the resources of medical science,
ever ready, ever available by disease on
every hand. a prompt means of self
help for the malarious. the rheumatic. the
dyspeptic, the bilious, and persons
troubled with impending kidney COM
plants, is 10 be found in Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters, an ever present help in
time of trouble' for all such hapless in
dividuals. They should not delay mo-
ment in seeking its aid. Experience has
shown its wide utility, the recon- mmenda-
ton of eminent physicians everywhere
sanction its use Nervous, thin, debili-
tated invalids gain bodily substance and
vigor by course of this fine invigorant,
which is eminently serviceable. also. to
the aged and convalescent.

THE GOOD WORK BEGUN.

The first step in the way of showing at
tention to strangers who visit the city
has been taken. as was urged by the
RECORD UNION as early as Novem Der
last. and has been urged by it ever since.
A gentleman of capacity and representa-
tive character has been appointed to
meet visitors and bring them into COM
munication with citizens having interests
along lines the visitor may wish to in
quire into. Now, this is well; it is what
ought to have been done long ago.
But one appointee is not enough. For
the next six months we ought to have
two, even three. The cost will be light,
but if it were heavy it would be a
roundly paying investment. We know
of one very recent instance that demon
strates the necessity for plenty of help.
A gentleman from the far East of large
means, accompanied by his son and
daughter-in-law, were in this city all last
wesk, and not until about the last day
VI ZIG W60h Q1O u0 uL0 SOl1lO OA1O AO0Og
to show him what he wanted to see with
q view to possible investment in the
interest of his son. Such home seeker
should have been met at once and
''steered'' in the direction indicated by
the information he was in search of
Only yesterday gentleman related to
this paper was appealed to on the street
by an Eastern visitor, stranger to him,
to furnish him information by which he
could ascertain certain facts relative to
matters looking to investment and indi-
eating sincere inquiry into the resources
of the county. By all means add an
other to the steering committee" Our
people are ready enough to show
strangers attention, to give them all
desired information and convey them
about the city and county. What is
needed is an efficient agency to bring
the visitors and the right hind of people
together; an agency with no ak to grind.
The sewer question was discussed at
length before the Sewerage Committee of
the Trustees Saturday night and a great
deal of information elected. 1t would
seem that the present lines of main sew
ers constitute better system than most
people suppose, and that they can be re-
lated to new outfall line and mechani-
cal daily flushing system, the present
year, and according to plan that compre-
hends complete and proper system for
all the city, as rapidly as the people feel
new pipes and by extension. 1t would
seem to be elastic enough also to make
what is proposed to be done now wholly
useful in the ultimate completion Of
sewer work. Without committing itself
to this plan, however, or to any, until the
matter has had further examination, the
RFCORD-UNIoN urges prompt action, that
at least beginning may be made this
year. With very little further discus
sion and the examination OF other plans, q
conclusion can be reached as to what is
best to adopt that the people will ap-
prove at the polls, since all are agreed
that we need, just as soon as can be and
as rapidly as possible, to relate all houses
directly with q sewer system and to
abandon cesspools.

FREDERIoKs, the murderer, proposes
to set up the plea of insanity. That was
what might have been expected. 1t has
come to be recognized as the equivalent
of the plea of guilty nowadays, with a
protest against execution of the law.
Fredericks is not insane. nor has he been.
He is simply cold-blooded assassin, SO
lacking in moral sensibility that he has
no longer even reproving conscience.
