OLD RAILWAY DAYS IN MEXICO.

From ihe Chicago Times Herald.
 When parallel bands of steel were first
 driven drito the stony heart of Mexico the people did not like them They were
 not used to folks who did things today wha5 could be put off till tomor- rdw. They objected to the vast engines
 which Killed the citizen who went to
 sleep on the tracks. They encountered a
 rough class of ' anlxees with whom they
 could claim no kin. Sin fingered pn their
 minds memories of the 'sinvasdon from
 the north"-otherwiss the Mexican war.
 In those days an American accused of crime in that country was in dhard luck. Sometimes he was tried and shot, but most times times he was Tlhrown into a. tnoisome cell, where he routed into deat tn without learning of the charges against him. Our few consuls were powerlets. Americans came to regard arrest at the hands of the Mexicans as equivalent to a life sentence in a pa articularly unde- sirab1e penjtentiary. and they were will ing to go to any length to avoid it. Out of this condition of affairs-a condition which has long since given place to a | better understanding between the peo- ples-sirange actions arose and strange | tales are told of them.

AUTUMN IDEAS.

On+ of the prettiest muslin dresses seen this season and one which might be worn this winter for evening was of soft white silk muslin accordion-plaited from neck to hem, with the bodice bloused at the front and back and belt of white glace silk drawn through a diamond and turquoise buckle. Worn with this was hat of pale pink trimmed with .plaft- ings of silk, a bunch of pink roses on the crown and bunch of white roses at the back where the brim turned up.
 Light silk skirts either in black and white stripe or some pale color will be worn with fancy bodices. This is more artistic than the black skirt which for a season has been worn with every kind of waist. Abroad one never sees wo- man in a black skirt and fancy waist, for the two bear no relationship to each other, though no ona denies that the black skirt is economical.
 Fringes are said to be coming in as decorations for mantles and capes. They are nuisances, as everything catches in thsm, but probably the fringe manufac- turers think they have been slighted too long.
 The freshest of muslins, soft and transparent as chiffon, are being made up into dinner dresses. The favorites are checks in pink, blue and mauve, with cross bars of white hair lines.
 Chiffon scarf sashes are in favor knotted at the back or the sides. They freshen up gowns which begin to look rusty at the end of the season.
 Old-fashioned point lace shawls are worn draped handkerchiefwiss as aprons over dress skirts. A very full and deep founce of chiffon meets the edges.
 The rage for colored shoes and stock ings is virulent in France, where the women are wearing pink shoes and red hosiery. This sounds too audacious to be true but it is so

According to the Chicago Chroni-
Gle, Luctgert, the suspected MUIR
derer who is OF trial in that city
upon the charge of having murder
ed his wife and boiled her body in
a vat of caustic potash, holds daily
levee in the court room, and re-
ceives the admiring attentions of a
great many women. The Chronicle
prints picture of Luetgert's coun>
sci introducing young women to the
prisoner. Presumably if it were to
be proven that the man actually
killed his wife and ground her up
into sausage meat, and sold the
sausages to his regular customers,
the young women of Chicago would
fall at his feet and worship him.

A heavy movement of cotton in
September does not necessarily
mean large crop. Indeed, it has
been claimed that a heavy move
ment at the first indicates rather a
light crop. When the cotton be-
gins to move in large volumes at
the opening Of the season, it means
an early harvest. This season the
crop is somewhat advanced, and in
some, sections it is believed it will be
harvested from one to three weeks
earlier than was the case last year.
