THE THREE GRACES.
A Trio of Beautiful Women Delight the
Holders OF Back Seats.

| Washington Post: Three ladies walked
down the center aisle in the National
theater Monday night They wore hats
hats of norid style of architecture
and covered with luxuriant vegetation.
/ Strong men shuddered and grew pale
with anxiety as to where those hats
would eventually locate themselves. and
as the ladies slowly moved to the front
the feelings of the audience verged upon
the stormy and tumultuous. At last
they We're seated well down toward the
orchestra, and at least 100 persons--
those directly in the line of sight
turned wan and ghastly with despair
In moment, however nimbie fingerr
We're at work, and before the watchers
could gulp down their first wild anguish
the hats disappeared and three sleek,
shapey and inoffensive heads appeared
in place of them.
So the fashion has reached Washing
ton. We have among us. then, the pio-i
neers of the propaganda of mercy, con-
sideration and gentleness. a new STAN
dard of morality has been erected.
Women are showing their thoughtless
sisters how TO be kind as well as beau
tiful gentle as well as fair how to bless
as well as to adorn the world. Here is
a fashion which recognizes humanity.
a manifestation of female loveliness that
makes allowance for the comfort of
others. 1t is new philosophy, a gospel
of sweetness and light, dispensation Of
true ecstacy.
Why cannot the superior set make
common cause in this? Why, if they
must have their hats wherewith to par
alyze the vestibule and fill the aisles
with pageantry as they come and go
why cannot they at least follow the di-
vine example we have chronicled and
uncover when they take their seats?

Motion for an Order.

Omaha, Neb.. March 1S.-A special 10
the Bee from Lincoln says: The federal
court reconvened to-day. A motion was
heard on the part of Granville Dodge for
an order directing the receivers of the
Union Pacific railroad to pay over the trust
fund, amounting to $27,929.57, now due.
Pending the litigation over the validity of
the bonds of the Colorado & Texas rail-
road receivers of the Union Pacific Rail-
way Company held trust fund amount
ing to 100000. As those bonds have now
been declared valid, Judge Dundy made the
order asked for in favor of Dodge as hold
er of the coupons a tritle over $500 having
been deducted from the full amount of the
fund as an offset owed to the Union Pa
ciiic for freight services which made the
order call for S27 ,92957 The title of the
case is Oliver Ames, second against the
reCeiNers of the Union Pacitic CompanN.
