The Long Sleeveless Cloak Very Much In
Demand Just New.

The Long Sleeveless Cloak Very Much In
Demand Just New.
The favorite in these garments Is the
long sleeveless cloak that viii go over
the large dress sleeve without spelling
it. Over this is q long cape, plain. and
not very full. This combination is
most excellent, leaving the arms free,
and completely covering the entire cos
tune. On some rain cloaks Of this de-
scription two full c~ollarettes are seem
others are plain.
Another style Is the triple-top in
stead Of the plain, single cape. Some
of these show the capes quite long,
quite the length of the arm, while 9TH
ers, made like the Newmarket shape
for the long garment, reach only to the
waist.
The storm mantles. hanging in folds
from the neck, and covering the figure
completely, are not so well suited to
the purpose, but are preferred by many.
The or~namentation consists of q collar
cite, usually Of the umbrella style,
which seems appropriate in q storm
cloak. Still another style shows .
loose front, with fitted back, andpelisse
sleeves
The double-breasted Newmarket
storm cloak is made with generous
sleeves, and is quite q smart-looking
garment.
The mackintoshes of cloth, rubber
lined, show the usual checks, stripes
in plain grays, browns. blues and
blacks
The c~ravenette cloaks are rather
more comfortable than these last mem
toned, not overhesting, as the rubber
does, when worn for any length Of
time. The same shapes prevail in this
material. as also in the rubber cloaks,
:loth stamped.
Cravenette may be had for one dollar
and seventy cents per yard, and as .
garment may be made from four and .
half yards and upward, Il results in
quite g saving If made at home. and
one may have q little more originality
in this garment. Stormproof serges
and cheviots are less expensive and are
most serviceable storm cloaks, answer
ing for travelling as well, and also for
cold days--N. Y. Advertiser.

A BIG DEFICIT.
Directors Report of Union Pacific Shows
Decrease of $4,5OO,OOO from Last Year.

Directors Report of Union Pacific Shows
Decrease of $4,5OO,OOO from Last Year.
Boston, April 25.-The fourteenth an
nuaI meeting of the stockholders of the
Union Pacific railway company was call
ed to order in Horticultural hall today
with Vice President Edward +. Atkins
presiding.
The first business was submission of
the directors report for the past year.
These reports show deficit on the
whole system of So, $685. 41, compared
with surplus in the previous year of
$4,000, 757. The heavy decrease was due
to the silver crisis. the failure of the
Kansas wheat crop and the general pros
tration of business.
Earnings of the coal properties kept
up well, but cash receipts from land sales
decreased 80 per cent.
The report shows that the control of
the stock is rapidly going abroad while
on December 81, 1892 only 201,88 shares
were sold.
Without the amount received from the
Union Pacific on guarantee account the
deficit would have been 1857, 400 in 1898
compared with $376,O75 in 1892.
The report contains fitting tribute to
the memory of the late Frederick l..
Ames, SO long a director of the company.

New YORK, April 25.-Quite recovered

her rare presence of mind and marked
heroism when she tells of how her
shapely ankle was squeezed by a coiling

there was piercing shrek for help and
plump and pretty young woman sud

her, pulled up her skirt and then yelled.
The<e was live garter just above her
shoe top. The young woman cried:
'ETake it off, some one.''
Before the oldest man in the car could
reach the frightened Mrs. Schmidt, the
garter had wriggled off to the floor of
the car. The gripman had heard some
one yell that boa constructor was loose
in the car.
He rushed in with one of his levers
and crushed the life out of the serpent

CLEVELAND FAVORS 1T.
He Thinks That the Nicaragua Canal
Should Be Built.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 25.-In an
address before the Alabama Combined
Commercial organization, Senator Nor
gan strongly urged concerted action in
behalf of the Nicaragua canal bill of
which he is the author He said that in
an interview with the president of more
than three hours duration, Mr.. Cleveland
told him he was in favor of the
canal and that it ought to be built,
that it would be the browning glory of
the nineteenth century, but that never
theless the president said he must be
cautious about it.
Senator Morgan said to the president:
'fWhen L go south I want to be able to
tell my friends that you desire the canal
built" and the president remarked: II
very earnestly desire to see it built, and
do not know that l have any impedi-
ment to offer to it."
