The bo!e-o coat has really become ex-
tremely fashionable. 1t may be that this
popul arity will prove its death, but just at
present it promises to be worn as generally
as the Eton jacket was in its palmiest
days. Everywhere it is in evidence, made
in the cheapest as well as the most costly
materials. While it is not strictly new as
an article of wear. it is quite SO as fash
ion. which, as l have said, amounts at the
present time almost to craze. 1t is, in
TACT, one of the curiosities of clothes be-
cause ii is something exceedingly trying
10 any but the neatest and daintiest of fig
ures.
For the woman who wants to wear what
Is called smart coat, there is one just be-
ginning 10 be worn of the Chesterfield
shape, that is exceedingly comfortable and
stylish at the same time. The skirts are
not lined, SO that while warm they are not
heavy. The top portion does not fit
tightly. for it just follows the lines of the
figure.
Ihe seams are all strapped and that
around the waist is not straight, but
curved upward over the hips and pointed
downward under two buttons at the back
and again toward the pockets in front.
This is clever device to give due appear
ance OF length and slenderness to the
figure.
The skirts are wide and there is thus
plenty of room for the dress beneath. The
collar is strapped and faced with velvet,
ana The cuffs are gauntlet shape and
plped with velvet. The garment can be
either SINGLE or double breasted, the for
mer being perhaps newer and smarter.
The body portion is lined with very fine
WOODEN kersey.
Among the new spring nantes is a
mantelet in black MORE miroir with a
pattern of silk gr' nadine applique and
edged with sequins. Large voIants form

POLNE ET(HIN(\.


There was quite list of petty thieves
in police court yesterday, to be tried.
William Coons, H T. King and Frank
Tresser were tried on the charge of
stealing q ham from the Star Grocery
company, on the corner of Second
South and State streets. They Wer~-
then tried for steaing two sacks of
sugar from the same place, and on all
the charges were found guilty Coons
was fined SIS for one offense and $40
for the other; King was fined $25 and
$50, and TreSSer was fined $40.
The sugar was subsequently found
In a store where the men had sold it,
and it was returned to the rightful
owners. George Thomson, who was
charged with the theft Of an over
and fined SIS. Neils Hanson, who was
captured in the act of helping himself
to some nuts and other small articles
in front of the Star Grocery, was fined
IS for the offense

Mr.. George OReilly appeared in the
police station yesterday with rather
sad look upon his face. And indeed he
had something to be sad over. He had
gone to purchase a duck from a man
who drove up to his house yesterday
afternoon about 2:20 Mr.. O'Reilly had
his purse with him and in the course
Of his trading, placed it upon the seat
of the wagon while he looked over the
stock. When he had picked out
duck that suited him, he paid for it
out of his pocket and forgot all about
the purse. Some time after the peddler
had left Mr.. O'Reilly began to search
for his pocket book but could not find
it. He then remembered that he had
left it in the wagon, and the man went
off with it. That duck was an ex-
pensive bird, as the purse contained
about 800, all of which went off with
the peddler. Mr.. O'Reilly lives just east
of the Sanitarium, and he will pay a
suitable reward for the return of the
purse and it's contents

Colorado Rate War.

''One more cut in the rates which
have been made by the all rail and part
rail and water lines, and Utah will be
getting some benefit from the war
which is now being waged on rates to
Colorado points," said a traffic man
yesterday.
At present the rates have been cut to
point where the rate on certain
grades of freight to Colorado points is
equal to the old all rail rate to Utah
points. The fight is still on and furth-
err cutting is anticipated. It is a merry
war and the part water route is not
getting any the worst of it by any
means.
If there is anything which would
lower the rates to Utah it would no
doubt be gladly welcomed. Colorado
is prof1ting by all this conmotion, while
Utah, as usual, has to take what she
can get. SO soon as it was noted that
the fight might extend to this section,
the rate known as the Colorado
rates were withdrawn in order to hold
up old prices.

The members of the next city ad-
ministration viii not have the little
red books which carry people free over
the lines of the Salt Lake City Street
Railway company, nor the yellow-cov-
cred books which give a man free
rides on the Rapid Transit
In future, when Councilman John
Allen wants 20 come Up town, he viii
either walk or pay fare, or, perhaps,
get a bicycle Councilman Romney
Will walk down from the Fourth, or do
likewise
The law which forbids railroads Civ
ing passes also forbids a street car
line from giving passes. It is very
sweeping in its provisions. 1t says:
mo railroad, or other common carrier,
doing business in this state"
Railroads may give reduced rates,
and 1t is possible that the members of
the council, the heads of departments
and Others, who now enjoy favors
may get a price almost equivalent to
free rides, but they will have to pay
something.
City councilmen, the mayor, and
heads of departments have enjoyed
these favors for a long time in the
past, and to have them cut off will
doubtless be a hardship to those who
are so used to handing the conductor
a red ticket. They were preferred to
newspaper men, who went down in
their old clothes and fished up nickels
IN order to get rides, but now the lat
ter are on an equality

care to talk for publication, but mas
much as he was busy with salt rates
for Hayward'S salt foundry he did
not think he would have time to take
the place. However, if it was rendered
by a unanimous vote of the directory,
he would consider it, and would make
big effort to shape his affairs that
he could see his way clear to accept.
Harry Human declined to talk for
publication, but bIushingly admitted
that he had heard his name mentioned
in connection with the place. If Dick
enson was to be retained as general
manager, he did not see how he could
accept. At one time he was with the
Union Pacific at Omaha, and Dickinson
was his superior To go above him
would embarrass him, so he did not
believe he could have the nerve to is
sue necessary orders. That was all
that stood in the way.
Harry Tooker, secretary for Mr.. Ec-
cles, declared he would not have the
place. It had been rendered him sew
eral times, but he didn't want it. The
reorganization committee had gone so
far as to send him prepaid messages
begging him to come to Omaha and be
president OF their road, but he had re-
piled that he was going to stay with
Eccles and fight it out on this line if
it takes 20 years.
Billy Bennett asserted in reply to
numerous questions that he too, had
been approached, and had expressed a
Willingness to take the place, provided
the company would move its general
Offices from Omaha to this city. He
had declined to change his residence
just as he had begun housekeeping,
and if the company did not want to
accept his terms they could select any
old person they had mind to, he
would not take the place.
General Agent Kooser Of the Missouri
Pacific has also been spoken of in con-
nection with the place, but Kooser says
the press Of other engagements is such
that he cannot see his way clear to &C
cept. He suggested, in response to a,
letter of inquiry, that Alex Mitchell
being out of a job, might take the
place. A force of detectives are now
trying TO locate Mitchell.
Freight Agent Choate of the Union
Pacific declined to state whether he had
been solicited to take the job or not
But notice is served right here that
Salt Lake City can furnish the road
the hottest kind of president, and
that after securing the east one can be
found here without trouble.

SHARKEY BACKS OUT.
Refused to Sign Articles For Fight
With Jefreries.

San Francisco, Dec. Thomas j.
Sharkey who calls himself the cham
pion heavyweight pugilist of the world,
this afternoon refused to sign articles
for a fight with Joe Jefferies.
Articles of agreement to govern the
proposed match had been drawn up
and Billy Delaney had affixed his sig
nature thereto for Jefferies The night
before Sharkey had promised Man
ayers Gibbs and Groom OF the Ma
tional Athletic club that he would do
likewise. but at the last moment the
sailor changed his mind and stub
bornly refused to be changed from his
purpose.
Fifteen thousand dollars or 1 don't
step into the ring" said Sharkey,
"and that goes"
After considerable argument, Tom
became more liberal and offered to lop
off $1,000, but the club managers still
considered the terms prohibitive and
thus the matter stands.

TRANCoNTINENTAL MEETING.
Local Railroad Men VIII Not At
tend.

The thanseontinental association is
billed to meet in the city of st. Louis
on the 18th Of this month, but it is not
likely that either Burley of the Short
Line, or Wadleigh OF the Western will
attend To d man UP q tree it would
seem that no good can be accomplished
at this time. The Union Pacific is not
in q position to make any offers, be-
cause of the reorganization, and there
can be no transcontinental association
without the concurrence of the Union
Pacific. That is certain.
The other lines across the country
might make agreements until the COWS
come home, but if the Union Pacific
was not interested it would be the big
geSt one-sided affair in existence.
1t is not thought likely that anything
viii be done in the matter until after
the reorganization is perfected, and
that those in attendance will simply
meet and adjourn until such time as
all the roads interested can be got to-
gether for consultation.
