I Atone of her receptions an Old-yOung
-51 turning into the fOrties, wore
own of quaint old figured cloth. with
s in dahlia. The bodice was cut
-rrfing in the neck, and over her
shoulders was thrown a cape of black
and white striped velours, with an ire
--rer figure in black.
The cane was cut in scallops to give
rntng effect along the edge. and,
mining around it was a deep rufne Of
-.s rose silk ribbon with an edge Of
Hack satin. Underneath was a dOu-
he rune Of soft lace. A broad jabot
,srbe rose ribbon extended around the
neck and down the front
The only trimming was an applique
NJ frridescent beads and a braid in long
rarts from the neck. The lining was
a soft dahlia silk
This combination of dahlia and black
is much seen. The black subdues the
a-1Iiancv of the former color and gives
the complexion that rosy hue so much
desired.

Jersey FISHERMEN MAD.
Grant DayCelebration Inflicted Heavy
Losses on Them

New York. May "A lot of mad fish
errnen. with their sad-eyed wives and
daughters. are stretching nets in the
sunlight along the Jersey coast and do
ing their best to hasten repairs of the
damage inflicted by the naval fleet on
Grant day.
Shad fishermen lay their nets in the
channel, near the Jersey side, this time
respected their property, though there
is no law protecting it. The fishermen
feared the deep draught warships,
though, and with good cause
A meek note was sent the admiral, re
uuesting that the fleet. in moving up to
the Grant tomb, avoid the shad nets,
which were plainly visible through the
long poles projecting from the water.
This request was only partially acced-
ed to, and as a result a lot of damage
was done the nets. AS the investment
of each fisherman is something like $10,-
OOO the delay until broken nets are
mended will be costly, especially as
tides are high and the toOthsome shad
is running beautifully.

PROPOSED CYCLE TRACK.
Meeting at the T. a. a Wednesday
Evening to Investigate.

The fate of the proposed bicycle track
in Topeka at Garfield park will be de-
cided at a meeting which will be held
at the T. A. A. W. rooms Wednesday
evening.
Committees were appointed at the an
nual meeting of this club to look into
the matter and report upon the feasibil-
ity of constructing a track, to ascertain
the cost and arrange other details.
These committees viii have a meet
ing Wednesday evening. If the plan is
received with favor a mass meeting of
all wheelmen in the city will be called
and cooperation from all riders will be
solicited. This undertaking will become
more or less an individual enterprise in
which every rider in the city Will have
an opportunity to become interested.
If the meeting Wednesday evening
results unfavorab1y or the undertaking
is too great for the present conditions,
the plan will be abandoned.

SILVER MEN MAY VOTE
In the Republican Primaries in Shaw
nee County.

The Shawnee county Republican club
met Saturday in regular session and af-
ter a lively discussion decided to allow
silver Republicans to vote with them
in the primaries, provided they will
promise to support the ticket in the
election.
The primaries will be thoroughly or
ganized and close watch will be kept
so that no mistakes will be made. Some
of the members opposed the plan, say
ing that there would be no way of tell
ing when the final vote was counted
which way they had voted. But the
better Judgment prevailed and a resO-
luton allowing silver Republicans the
privilege of voting was passed.
The Shawnee county Republican club
now has a membership of 500, and at
Saturdays meeting $50 applications for
membership were filed. The permanent
officers of the club were elected as fol-
lows:
President. A L. Brooke; J. G. slo-
necker, Geo. H. Elliott and Bradford
Miller, vice presidents; James E. Lari-
ner, secretary; L. G. Beal, treasurer
and a board of directors consisting of
a L. Brooke, Edwin Scott, NJ. G Hol-
man. Arthur Capper. viii Vanorsdal
Albert Barton, H. NJ. Phillips, Phil Lux
and G. W. Greenwood.

MAIL CRANES ANNOY.
Catcher Service Giving the Postal
Authorities Trouble.

Washington, May 3-The catcher
service in railway mail service whereby
mail is dropped into cranes at small sta
tions from fast trains is giving the pos
tai authorities much annoyance, and
complaints are frequent.
Acting General Superintendent Ny
ers of the railway mail service has is
sued two orders to correct abuses.
One prohibits the use of damaged or
insecure catcher pouches and the other
directs division railway mail superin-
tendentS to instruct postmasters as to
properly hanging catching pouches on
the mail cranes. Both of the orders are
due to reports indicating that the mails
are frequently exposed to loss or dam
age by use of damaged catcher equip
ment and improper placing of sacks in
the small cranes. The second order is
issued with a view to avoiding failures
to secure mails at catch stations and to
prevent damage to eduinment.

ASKING TOO MUCH.
That Railroad Track be Run Across
Sixth Street.

The city council will be asked for
permission to extend the switch from
the Rock Island which now extends to
Fourth street up the alley between
Jackson and Van Buren across Sixth
street to the Masonic block. The re-
quest comes through the firm that will
soon open a wholesale grocery eStab-
hshment in the building just south Of
the Grand Opera House.
The proposition to run a switch for
trains and locomotives into the business
center of the city and across Sixth
street, the principal thoroughfare lead
ing west, will be met with a storm Of
protests as it should be.
There are plenty of sites suitable for
wholesale houses where they can be
reached by switches. The switch in
question would necessarily pass in the
rear of the new court house, the Grand
Opera House and among other public
buildings. While Topeka is ready to be
extremely liberal with all new enter
prises, it cannot consent to railroad
tracks being pushed into the residence
and retail business section of town.
