Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man Of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords Of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice Of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnif-
cent scenery in the world. Its road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE VEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far.ous by the beauty and variety
Of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
cago and Boston without change:

Dressmakers declare that this change

that white is mere generally trying

RIBBONS AND e1RpLEs.

AS to the bodices of the new evening
gowns, boleros and figaro effects are
seen on many of them, however low the
cut. The little jackets will be made
of black or colored velvet overlaid with
lace, or perhaps be entirely of lace, or
only simulated with trimming. The
high corselet girdles are also in as
great vogue as ever and for slight fig
ures are made of folded velvet on the
bias. A cunning swathing Of the figure
with ribbon. crossed and recrossed and
the girdle higher at the back than front,
is another sort. This will appear on
tulle bodices, the ribbon used satin or
MORE, and the girdle fastening at the
left or back with a bow and sash
ends.
Taffeta ribbons with a black velvet
edge may be had very cheap, and make
pretty trimmings for childrens and
misses frocks.
For the gowns themselves dotted and
figured mulls are materials much in ia
vor The little skirts are gored and
hung loose over silk Innings; the rib
bon, if narrow, is gathered through the
middle and put on in ruches. Then on
the bodice, which is either high or only
slightly cut out to give the tiniest
glimpse of young throat, there are all
the deep girdle effects that distinguish
grown-up frocks. Narrow black velvet
! or narrow ribbons crossed In lattice
work, and forming an entire blouse over
another color is another pretty fancy

CHICAGO ROMANCE
A Young Man who Will Marry the
Girl Whose Life He saved.

Chicago News: Il presume my son
William will be married Saturday to
Miss Edith Brompton, whom he saved
from drowning in 1893 said Mrs. William
Avery of 1S3 Cass street this morning.
The courtship of young Avery, who has
reputation as a yachtsman and oars
man. and Miss Brompt-on has been ro-
mantle. In 1888 William Avery was a
member of a party of nine ON the yacht
Chesapeake when the boat capsized in
Lake Michigan and four people lost their
lives. When the boat was overturned
William Avery held Miss Brompton on
the slippery wreck and saved ner life.
They became intimate friends and were
finally engaged to be married.
Miss Brompton is recovering from
typhoid fever and the marriage, which
will take place at Antioch, will probably
have TO be celebrated while the young
lady occupies an invalld's chair. Mr..
Avery wants to bring his bride to Chicago
so that he may be sure she is we'll cared
for. Mr.. Avery is rs years of age. He
has recently taken. considerable interest
in flying machines.
1T is unpleasant for me to recall that
terrible accident where four people lost
their lives" said Mrs. Avery. "A particu-
larIy sad feature of that calamity was
that three of those drowned were the only
children of their parents. Two OF my
sons, William and Fred, were saved, as
was Miss Brompton.'

For best materials all sorts of neat

crepes, are used. The evening tulles are
in a variety of designs, those showing
spangles, tinsel thread or figure, or a

ton with the plain sorts; with the plain
tulle one full-colored skirt is often
mounted over several white ones, and

lining. which was covereS1 closely at the
outside with pink satins then over this
hung loosely the muslin cape itself.
Here a little dwelling, for that bit of
muslin frivolity was something to make
the mouth water. 1t was made entirely
of tiny puffs, running round, and di-
vided between with narrow edges of
sable, headed by rows of single span
giles in scales. A vast fur collar finish
ed the neck, and inside this there were
big quillings of the muslin that muffied
the throat softly and ended at the chin
in vast bow with long ends that came
almost to the bottom of the skirt.
An evening cape somewhat longer
and fuller was made Of grebe, which is
a bird skin of satin softness and deli
cate, now in high feather with the fur
riers. This was the usual grey, or
rather black and white of this skin,
with a lining of old yellow brocade.
DECORATED SKIRTS.
But to return to gowns, and above
everything, skirts. Here fashion has
taken a new tack indeed quite turning
up her nose at the plain skirts so lately
adored. Scarcely an evening jupe is
seen now that is not trimmed in some
way, a few of the hip effects suggest
ing the funny old apron overskirts worn
% years ago. These are made through
ruff1es of lace, plain silk, null or muslin
sewed on the skirt7to give the look of
an overjupe; sometimes, indeed, the
apron will be made of another material
lace or muslin frilled at the bottom,
with perhaps sash ends at the back
These will tie at the waist in big
bow, with a pretty old-time Zbok, very
becoming to slight figures Many other
models suggest that it is only a ques-
ton of time when overskirts themselves
will be with US. And if tight sleeves
are 10 come back, why not?
Some of the trimmedRskirt designs
are caught up at one side over a con-
trasting petticoat effect. Again an
evening gown will have "a lace panel at
one side, the brocade or satin top skirt
swinging loose and giving quite an
upper skirt effect.

IN SILK ATTIRE.
Handsome is mild word for the new
evening silks. They are of superb tex
ture, many of the richer ones made
heavier still with gold and silver
thread and a number of brocades show
ing the dim. soft colors of antique
stuffs. Several of the designs, indeeGs
are exact copies of the brocades worn
during the Louis Quinze and Louis
Seize periods, one a charming Marie
Antoinette pattern in dim pink and
blue, with prim baskets of flowers tied
with knots of ribbon.
A gown of this sort was made with q
short full skirt falling open in front

EFFECTIvE TRIMMINGS.

Brocades of all sorts are much used,
both for trimming and for entire
gowns. Small bits of genuine old
weaves are in great demand, and
whenever in sufficiently good condition
are used for hat crowns. belts, vests
and other dress trimmings.
Glace silks, somewhat heavier than
the old taffetas, and often figured, are
also conspicuous gown trimmings, and
moires are seen in profusion. though
they are not in favor for very young
women.

BODICE AND SLEEVES.

Sleeves, by the way. however, are
very unimportant affairs in the new
dance frocks. For young girls there
is still pretense of some arm protec-
tion-a three-quarter length or short
puff-but for the older fry the sleeves
of low bodices are often a mere con-
tinuance of the lace or flower drapery
that decks the decolletage. At the
shoulder these are punched to give

Fox Tail In the Baby's Throat.

Monday Mrs. Jack Welsh left he-
seven-months old baby in charge OF
the older children while she WAS busy.
The children were out doors and while
they were showing n lady something
they placed the baby ou the grass. A
moment or two later they saw tine lit
tie one had mouthful OF leaves and
took them away. Toward evening
Mrs. Welsh observed that the child
had some thing in its throat. She
examined it carefully but could not
find anything.
About midnight they became alarmed
and Mr.. and Mrs. Welsh came to town
and took the little one to n drug
store. DR.. Wilson was quickly called
and he examined the throat of the
baby and tried with his fingers to re-.
move the obstruction. Finding that
he could not do this he used an instru-
ment and brought forth foxtail that
had become stuck in the throat. As
soon as the baby was relieved it at
once dropped asleep. -Oroyille (Cal.)

Tho gceGt state Of Arkansas is long
on men who know how to bring a dis.
putein the National Game to close
by tho shortest and most direct route.
Arkansas has developed a baseball
umpire who, according to the New
York Mail and Express, stands ready
to furnish the National League with
points which are calculated not only
to bring the game within reasonable
time limits, but 10 head off indiscrim
mate outside criticism and maintain
the dignity of the position OF umpire,
while obvlating the nuisance of public
wrangling that now disgraces the dia-
mond. This Arkansas umpire began
by centralizing responsibility. lie
held the stakes of 50, and had his son
appointed ag scorer. Thus iutrenche d,
he was prepared for the worst and it
came. \ close decision against the
nine favored by the spectators brought
the latter down upon the umpire with
a rush. Ordinarily this would have
been most embarrassing, but the um-
pire calmly opened his valise, dis
tributed several loaded reyolvers To
his adherents, and in a jiGy six men
lay stretched upon the greensword iu
response to Blk distinct pistol shots.
1t is true that the Sheriff subsequently
took hand in the proceedings; but
the fact remains that the umpire's de.
cision was not overruled, that war
OF words was avoided. and that the So
stake went to the umpires side, be-
cause he disappeared with 1t. The
National League needs men of this
sort to gropple with emergencies.
