R0ADBEDS AND TRACKS
IMPROVEMENTS TO WESTERN LINES
MADE AT AN oPPORTUNE TINE.
The Rates Fixed on the Christian En-
the Time of Departures.

The superintendent Of an important sys-
TEN of railways said yesterday that it was
very fortunate for the roads in the Central
States territory that they had got their
roadbeds and tracks so well improved be-
fore the economical freak came over the
railway managers. To-day" he said. the
railways of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, un-
less 1t be q comparatively small mileage
which suffered by the flood a few weeks
ago, are in better physical condition than
ever before. and the time has passed when
the tracks of majority of Western roads
are in any manner inferior to a majority Of
Eastern lines. There is not day that fast
er service is not given on Western and Mid
die States roads than on Eastern lines. Ten
years ago nine-tenths of the track in In
diana, Ohio ana Illinois was laid with rail
weighing fifty-six to sixty pounds to the
yard; to-day there is but very small mile
age of sixty pound-to-the-yard rail in main
track, and fully 40 per cent. of the main
lines are now laid with rails weighing eighty
pounds to the yard. In another line" said
the official, great strides have been made
that of bridges. Thousands of wooden
structures have in the last ten years given
place to substantial iron bridges resting on
stone abutments instead of on piling, and
to-day it is safer to run a seVenty-ton loco
motive over lines in this section at a speed
of fifty miles an hour than it would have
been to run a forty-ton locomotive at TWEEN
ty-ive miles an hour over the bridges and
trestles Of a few years ago. In one thing,
however the roads of this and adjoining
States are behind, and that IS in the depots
at way stations. Some of the roads have
taken this matter up and are beginning to
improve in this direction and l think that
soon business reaches it's normal vol
ume a good deal will be done in this direc-
ton. In the way of railroad shops the i'm
provement has been very marked in the
last few years. AS to the passenger and
freight equipment it has kept pace with
roadbed improvements, and all the roads
want now is good business and reasonable
rates to set business generally on boom. .

well as the caps to the sleeves were of
snuff brown broadcloth. The belt and
sprung basque were lined with the
surah. Three rows Of the velvet ribbon
encircled these. The very high collar
had filling Of ecru lace, and there was
full cravat at the throat. There was
wide fat straw hat trimmed with brown
plumes and a full wreath of velvet
pansies around the ''pinched up" crown.
Pearl and French gray are very popu-
lar. One elegant dress of French gray
had light braided garniture i'll slate
gray. There was wide swiss belt Of
heliotrope taffeta and a stock, and ruffles
of the same down the front of the full
waist. There was pretty bolero. For
young girl there was dull green cash
mere gown with three rows of satin
around the bottom in the same shade,
two narrow and one wide. The waist
was blouse fashion with satin yoke. A
stylish jacket was of clan plaid twill,
with chaudron velvet collar, cuffs and
lapels. A hat suitable to wear with this
suit was of pale green chip with plaid
ribbon and couple of quilts.

summer gowns. Nearly all the silks of
this season are more pliable than before.
Even the heaviest and thickest have lit
tie or none of whatever is put into silk
to make it appear richer. In the most
of the silks the designs are small. The
MORE and plain black satin and the fine
checks and stripes seem to be the chief
favorites. But there are some silks in
enormous plaids, and these, after all,
look pretty we'll when made and trim
med with taste and judgment. There
are also silk and linen poplins in clan
plaids, and they are not altogether to be
despised A poplin of this kind when
carefully made looks about as we'll as
the silk A pretty fancy is to have
plaid taffeta underdress, with an open
meshed grenadine or some other one of
the numerous thin black goods over it.
Black it should be. Some of these light
poplins have watered effect over the
surface and that shows very prettily
through the thin goods.
Surahs are shown in small brocaded
patterns-the first time that | ever saw
surah brocaded 1t is very pretty. The
printed surahs are unusually neat in de-
sign and color. The louisine has taken
very we'll. 1t has leathery surface like
armure weave, and is III all sorts of va
riations of checks and fine plaids 1t is
also presented i'll brocades, the designs
being odd and resembling rolling clouds,
chain lightnings and double rings, etc.
In short, it is easier to tell what it isn't
than what it is. There is soft Japanese
silk, with delicate branching brocaded
figures on it. The body Of the silk is
shot-fOr instance, white over pale
green or ivory over old rose. The figure
is always one Or the other of these two
colors. 1t is very pleasing, and it is
washable. There are many washable
silks, and nothing i'll the way of sum
mer material would give better satisfac-
ton. They are particularly useful for.
shirt waists and tea jackets
But, after all, the plain and self col
ored materials give the most lasting
satisfaction. There is a new staff, sort
of barege Of silk and linen. It is exceed
ingly lustrous, more 50 even than the
mohair brilliantines, and it is reasona-
BILE i'll price. 1t would be very pretty as
underdresSes for the black lace and net
dresses now SO much desired. There is
another almost similar stuff in very
light tints for evening to be trimmed
with chiffon rufies. To wear with these
I saw small capes, not very full and
completely covered with chiffon rufles
in color to match the chambray gauze
mentioned above. Some persons call
this vegetable silk" Quite number
of the surah twill silks are exhibited in
the best houses, made up into handsome
gowns intended for warm weather.
There was havana brown surah

gument and SO brings out our ideas-of
course the right ideas-more strongly
by contrast He is student, is the Pop
ulist, and, though from your view point
or mine his knowledge is wrong and his
Judgment warped perhaps, he makes
the men of other parties go to their
books and cudgel their brains for replies
to his arguments. And so l say that
even from Republican view point the
Populist is an excellent thing to have
around, especially when tariffs are IN
der discussion.
Judge Greene was born in Pike coun-
ty, Ind. His parents took him to Dubois
county when he was a boy, and he
worked there on farm until he was
about IS years old, going to the country
schools in winter. He had a three year
academy course and taught for time.
He did not confine himself to the school
course, but did a great deal of reading
and studying at home, and in a great
degree he is self educated man. His
parents intended him for the ministry,
but after trying it he concluded that it
was not his vocation. His inclination
turned him toward the law. He had
read some law while pursuing his other
Studies and when he gave up the min
istry he went to Bloomington and took
regular course, being admitted to the
bar in 1876. He had been married then
five years, and, as his wife was as poor
as he, they had hard time keeping
afloat.
In 1888 lac went with his family to
Kearney, Neb., and he told me the other
day that when he opened his office there
he had wife and five babies, did not
know man, woman or child in the state,
had not case in sight, and owned just
% cents. He looks back to that time
now with grateful remembrance of the
courage with which his wife helped
him to meet a desperate situation and
conquer it. 1t was not long before his
ability had given him standing in his
new home, and he went to the head of
his profession in Buffalo county in a
few years. He never held office until
1895, when he was made district Judge.
But in 1892 he came within two votes
of being elected United States senator
from Nebraska.
In politics he was brought up Dem
ocrat. and he felt pretty lonely when he
reached Nebraska and found how few
members of that party there We're in his
new home. 1t did not discourage him,
however. He started right in as prop
agandist of financial reform. In time
his views on the financial question took
him out of the Democratic party, and
he was one of the founders of the Popu-
list party in Nebraska. He is a radical
ON finance. He thinks our whole finan-
cial system is wrong and is menace to
the republic.

House and Senate on the Tariff.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The tariff de-
bate in the house brought to the front "a
man who is going to make his impress
on the work of this congress. It was u
tariff debate which gave W. J. Bryan
his chance to attract attention, and by
an odd coincidence the new man is a
Nebraskan and one of Bryan's warmest
admirers. W. L. Greene is his name.
You have seen it in the telegraph dis
patches. He is man of nearly 90 years,
and, though he is serving his first term
in congress, his years command respect,
and no sense of "newness" has restrain
ed him from taking part in the debate.
A man who has known him for many
years said to me last February that
Judge Greene would be found perfectly
at home in joint debate" He proved
the truth of the assertion ON the first
two days Of the tariff discussion On the
first day he made a set speech; on the
second he jumped into discussion be-
tween Dockery of Missouri and Tawney
of Minnesota and snapped up the Min
nesota man as quick as wink. That is
the sort Of thing that tells in house
debate. Labored speeches delivered to a
scattered half dozen members and a
drowsy chairman do not make an i'm
preston Oh congress or on the country.
They are well enough to use as pamphlet
matter in campaign of education"
but they don't make votes in the house
and they add nothing to a members
reputation among his fellows.
The Saucy Populists.
Judge Greene is Populist. And
right here l want to say that the PCpu-
lists have push and make themselves
heard in the house. Perhaps they are
like the SASSY" canary which is al
ways ready to fight anything 100 times
as big as itself. But what is a more
likely explanation is this: The Popu-
lists don't pick up some political hack
or some rich man who can pay the eX
penses of a campaign and send him to
congress. They nominate the man who
can talk and who has ideas to express.
They may be wrong ideas from your
view point or mine, but even then the
P3pulist has his value, for he makes ar

Victoria's Abdication.

Apropos of the gossip about Queen
Victoria's ill health, Edwin Barron re-
peats i'll the Chicago Times Herald the
rumor that the Prince of Wales will
never ascend the British throne. Albert
Edward lacks ambition and energy, and
many think he has by the conduct of his
life forfeited the right to succeed SOW
ereign of such noble character as Vic
toria. On the other hand, the Duke Of
York is very popular, and it is predicted
that Victoria will abdicate this year,
and he will become King George V of
England.

him unfavorably with other actors, even
though it were done in the most friend
ly spirit. But, take it all in all, the
American stage suffered distinct loss
in the death of Lawrence Barrett, which
!, in common with many of his friends,
think was FASTENED by the pecuniary
troubles brought about by his disastrous
visit to England and which were still
unsettled when he joined Edwin Booth.
