THE NEW CABLE.
New and Rapid Transit on the Colum
bin Road.

DIN Road.
Rapid transit over the Columbia railway
within the next few days will be a realty.
For nearly eight months the Washington
public has been expecting the transforma-
ton from horse to cable power over this
warded. Today the finishing touches were
made to the roadbed at the eastern ter
minus Of the line. The machinery has been
in position for several weeks past, and the
engines have been working almost con-
stantly during that time. The power
house is nearly completed. and the car
shed Is almost in condition for occupancy,
while the Office building will not be ready
for use for several weeks.
Within the next few days the cable,
which is $4,000 feet in length, will be
stretched. This operation is to be accom-
plished by means of a score or more of
horses, the method being familiar, 1t
city on the Washington and Georgetown
road. trial trip, it is expected. will be
made on Saturday, and thereafter, for a
few weeks, the cable cars will be run in
connection with the present horse cars.
When the men become accustomed to oper-
ating the grip the horse cars will be taken
off and the cable only made use OF.
The new cars will certainly be novelty
in this city, as they are very dissimilar to
the rolling stock of the Washington and
Georgetown road. The grip and passenger
car is combined and it is of considerable
length The cars were built by John Ste
venson of New York, and three have reach
ed the city. The entire complement of the
road will be forty open and forty closed
cars
According to Engineer W. B. Upton, the
road was built in an unusually short time,
eight months only having elapsed since the
company decided to do away with horse
power and adopt the cable. The blizzard
of few weeks ago caused considerable
delay in starting the new system.

Piano In Small ParIor.

In small parlor is almost always found-not grand, but an upright piano. Tho piano is generally found with its back fiat against the wall, and if there is niche it will be found in that, cooped up, to make sure it stays in its place. Then, too, the piano is prob- ably found covered with all sorts of bric-a-brao, or piled up with music, and it is undoubtedly standing on carpet made soft by padding.
 The Etude, commenting on the fore going, says The piano should be if pos sible from 6 to 12 inches from the wall. The farther the better, and when the carpet is put down do not have any pad ding under it where the piano is to stand. The more solid the foundation the better the tone. Do not put the piano in a niche. It is like making person sing in corner against the wall The more free the piano is from fancy arti- cles the better. The person that loves his piano will not cover it's top with bric-a-brac and music. The pressure on the pedal makes decided difference in the tone produced. With shoe that is "snug fit" the pressure is more firm and the tone more full and resonant.

with black soutache aud gilt buttons. There were buttons and loops on the sleeves. The jacket was slashed in the back, aud had quite wide lapels in Front. The high dog collar was of the cardinal surah. and there was tie of black ribbon in a very large knot under the chin. There was draped belt of black ribbon. This made very taking outfit for a young lady.
 Some of the new hats are simply as- tonishing. Those with the high crowns are not handsome, though called stylish. They must be very stylish to make up for the lack of beauty. There is one where the crown is quite four inches high. It is encircled by wide ribbon and trimmed by an enormous flaring bow, with stiff loops. Along the under edge of the brim there was a row of ruby beaded passementerie. The hat was fine slate felt. A very becoming hat was made of seal brown velvet, laid in two folds around the brim, which turned up gracefully. In front there were three choux of canary velvet, and back of them rose four black ostrich tips. Some of the brims are perfectly fiat, with scarcely any crown at all, the brim upholding an immense bow of corn flower ribbon. In the center of the bow on one was placed a pink velvet rose and green carnation-a queer medley of color, as the hat itself was gray, but not altogether unpleasing. A curious hat was made with a beefeater crown of dark blue velvet. The brim was of knitted chenille in the same shade, and this was plaited very full all around. On top was a green and scarlet parrot with outspread wings, and curled over the wings were two rich black ostrich tufts of feathers. It would almost seem as if everything goes.

this, save that the plastron was of maize velvet and the trimmings were of fine jet.
 notice many jet nail heads used as trimming, they being set on in form of stars, clover leaves and other such de- vices. A superb velvet mantle had struggling vine in saddler's silk worked upon it with punches of grapes, made by setting these jet nail heads together. Black velvet capes, when finely em- broidered with jet, are the richest gar ments possible to find. These usually have fur borderings or very full tippets of ostrich flues around the neck. It re- quires just such trimming to show up the full beauty of the velvet and its handiwork.
 The box coat finds still some votaries, but the general favorites in the way of wraps begin with the short jackets and end in the long cloak ulsters. These may be simple or very elaborate and luxurious. The lines of capes, both of fabric and fur, are so many that it would be impossible tr describe them all The newest thing is the long, loose sack, WnlCu udS hbthinS oo iCSoiilhOAd io buO "style' One of these was made of black eudora cloth as to the fronts and underarm pieces. There was square yoke across the back. The plaits were made of finely crinklel crepon. The col lar was high and had . gauffering of the cIepon around it. Down the front there was one row of buttons of enor- nous size, set diagonally.
 While there are some corsages made separate from skirts, they are not the rage, as they were few months ago. AL most all dresses are made in one mate- rial, though there are combinations of every kind. Tight waists. rounding at the line, are seen everywhere, some with belts and some with nothing but narrow piping at the edge. There was very pretty dress of moss green faille, the skirt quite plain. The sleeves were shirred in at the shoulder and dropped in graceful puff, though they were really gigots. The stock was of green velvet, and there was narrow vest front of velvet down the front of the tight waist. On each side of this tbeIo was line of narTuw puffed ribbon of the same shade AS the dress. There was a figaro outlined on the waist by means of this same pufed ribbon. A velvet crush belt was added. To this hung a

aside from the social world to enter the literary one and is one of the writers of the American Press Association.
 Fancy novel in 12 chapters written by as many women-dramatists, novel, ists, Heading ladies" and society wom- en. Whether the book will be so remains to be seen. There are many amusing ru mors regarding it. It is said that in the first chapter the heroine is in society. In the next chapter she goes on the stage. From that standpoint she becomes an emancipated female. The next move puts her in a convent. While this is going on she dabbles in women's rights, theoso- phy and frivolity, and is seen in the last chapter alarming stockings-blue ones of course-and singing cradle songs.
 The contributors are all women who are well known in the literary world. Mrs. E. E. Kidder, the wife of the we'll known playwright, had the task of writing the first chapter. Mrs. Kidder is better known by her nom de plume of Polly Pry. Ella Starr, the editor of fashion magazine and prolific news paper writer, took the second.
 Kate Jordan, the author Of "A Kiss of Gold" developed the heroine in the third chapter.
 Maude Banks, the new woman, put darn in the original blue stocking fad.
 Martha Morton, who has achieved more fame through Brother John" and "His Wife's Father" than usually falls to the lot of woman, wrote the fifth chapter.
 Minnie Maddern Fiske, who is so ex- ceedingly clever she does the latest thing best, Was one of the contributors
 Emma Sheridan Frye, who usually favors Boston with her presence and proved she was not neophyte when she dramatized "A Hundred Thousand Year" for Mansfeld added chapter.
 Mrs. c. A. Doremus had the sixth chapter in charge.
 Genie Rosenfeld, writer of short stories, added chapter, and Jennie June's daughter, Vida Croly Sidney, who is better known as an actress than as writer, is one of the 12.
 Each chapter is to be illustrated by different artist. Gibson, Dan Beard, Granville Smith and others are men, tioned as possible illustrators.

Ac- cordingly she began her studies, which she has completed and been admitted to practice.

 A gown which afforded a bright spot of color was worn by young lady at home reception. The gown itself was of marine blue surah serge. Down the two front seams there was gold braid, edged with a very narrow black velvet ribbon.

 The past three weeks in New York have been most brilliant in the new hats and bonnets, wraps and gowns dis played at the opening functions of this season. Taste and labor have combined with beautiful materials, and the result has been more than satisfactory. The styles, too, have been modified some- what from the first models sent for the season. The Louis XVI and Marie An toinette mode has been softened little here, changed little there, and with much taste embodied with the 1880 vogue of year ago. Now little is to be desired, and great latitude is permitted. There is scarcely leading style of the last decade that has not some reminder in the garments of today. This permits every one to have what suits her figure, style and complexion best and to keep up with the endless fashionable process sion.
 The very woolly, fuzzy and hairy fabrics arc in great vogue for street and fatigue" gowns, but for really ele- gant costume for home or visiting noth- ing is handsomer or better liked than fine broadcloth. There are two varieties of this. One is rough faced and the oth- CT has a sort of finish resembling satin. It is very rich and lustrous and could not be improved upon for appearance or solidity. It is shown in green of per haps 20 shades, heliotrope, prune, and in very many shades of brown, from brick color to seal, with some warm shades of chestnut mordore and tobacco. Perhaps the favorite is the chestnut. noticed rich wood brown suit yester- day of this quality of cloth, with an inch wide bias band of tea rose green velvet around the bottom of the skirt. The cuffs, collar and belt were of the green velvet. It was very pleasing combination.
 A chestnut brown suit was much ad mired. This has band of wool astra- khan around the bottom of the skirt six inches deep. The basque was cut with forms in the back and was draped lit tie down the front to the waist line. Tho whole skirt to the basque was GOV cred with astrakhan wool. There was high turnover collar, with two bands down the front of the waist. The sleeves were ample leg O. mutton shape. There was a hat to match of black silk beaver, with large bow of brown ribbon. This made very refined costume. Heliotrope cloth was used to make a dressy after noon gown suitable for home and visit ing This had a narrow band of velvet cut in scallops all around the bottom of the skirt. The gigot sleeves were quite plain. The waist was loose blouse of heliotrope velvet richly orna- mented across the bust by fancy gal loon trimming in humming bird colors. Around the waist was ribbon belt, with windmill bow, and there was a black velvet stock collar, with a black lace plastron over white silk. There was sort of polka to the basque, made of the cloth.

A newspaper artist was sent to sketch 8 batch of Italian counterfeiters in the ooun- ty jail. After much trouble with the turn keys he reached the cell of the prisoners. The artist was man of much experience, and he knew that blunt request for the Italians to sit for their portraits would bring only surly refusal. So he tried diplomacy and its prime minister blarney.

The colonel decided on this because it wonld stop the raising of dust from the swishing of the girls skirts as they passed to and fro. and bssause also he
