French blue cloth and velvet of the same
color. The skirt is straight in front and
has three godets behind, the foot being
faced up with velvet, which forms point
on each side of the tablier. just above the
velvet are applications of black and silver
embroidery, which are carried upward at
the sides to define the tablier The crossed
corselet of velvet is fastened with silver
buttons The bolero is of blue cloth, cover

FOR A GIANT TRUST.
II Is Alleged That the Greatest Combina-
ton of the Age Is Contemplated.

II Is Alleged That the Greatest Combine
ton of the Age Is Contemplated.
A special to the Chicago Post from
Pittsburg says:
1.-THE reported visit to this city of
President Gates Of the Illinois Steel
company is regarded by the iron men as
a matter of the very highest Importance
and as confrmatOry of a report which
has been i'll circulation among the heavy
capitalists of the iron industry for some
DAYS past that combination is in prog
ress of formation for the organization
of the greatest industrial trust of mod
ern times.
1.-THE story goes that Messrs. Carnegie,
Rockefeller and J. Pierpont Morgan
have in view a gigantic monopoly for
the control of the iron producing inter
ests of the United States 1t is fact
not generally known that the control of
the Illinois Steel company has lodged
in the house of j. Pierpont Morgan for
the last year, a syndicate represented by
him having acquired the holdings of
the Scotch and Massachusetts capital
lists, which gave them majority of the
stock and bonds of the company.
Control of this great company was
obtained at very low figure, owing to
the hard times and shrinkage in bust
ness, but the men who put their money
into the concern have unlimited capital
and are well prepared to stand any kind
of sweat.
Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie
were in an alliance with half dozen or
more smaller concerns in various indus
trial centers and felt that they were be-
ing handicapped by the partnership.
"All at once this great iron producing
combination went to pieces, and the
heavy concerns proceeded to mark prices
down % and 30 per cent, making enor-
nous contracts with railroads and other
consumers at figures that were simply
paralyzing to the smaller concerns.
Within a period Of three days it has be-
come evident that the fight is one
which will end in the survival of the
fittest, and it is now plain to the world
that concerns that are not very strong
will, in the course of time, have to go
to the wall or suffer themselves to be
absorbed by the heavyweights.
cit is a freeze out game pure and
simple, and that is what the iron inter
ests and the bankers of Pittsburg believe
to be under way now in tl>e iron field. :"

GOOD WORK, WELL DONE.

The facts presented in the inter-
view with Mayor Edward II. Mason,
to which THE TIMES gives first page
prominence this morning, ought to be
very gratifying to the Brunswick tax
payer, regardless of political belief or
utilization.
The wiping out of a floating Indebt-
edness is, THE TIMES takes it, one of
the very best directions in which ad-
m,nistrative policy can shape itself.
TO come INTO power, faced with the
problem of meeting 100000 of debt
and, under innumerable difficulties of
financial stringency and business
stagnatiOn, to diminish that debt, In
three years, to $45 900, is something of
an achievement, and merits all the
good things that can be said of it.
The present city administration has
been grossly misrepresented in sever
al instances, and Mayor Mason shows
the utter Inconsistency of such oppO
sition by his ightforward state
ment, and THE TIMES is glad to give it
to the public, not only for the reason
that good work always deserves com
mendation, but also because this pa
per was strong supporter of Mayor
Mason and his ticket in their candi-
dacy, and is gratified to see how well
they are carrying out their pledges.

Stanford University Will Own Her Resi-
dence In San Francisco.
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford at the annual
meeting of trustees of Stanford univer-
sity added to her gifts by announcing
that she had decided to the university,
to take effect at her death, the Stanford
residence at Pine and Powell streets,
III San Francisco, with all its contents
The house is one of the finest in Califor-
MIA. 1t was very carefully built, and
the materials were selected from various
parts of the coast. 1t contains some of
the finest specimens of California mar
bles and onyx, as well as examples of
all the native woods.
The art gallery has many valuable
pictures and much of the bric-a-brac is
unique. The collection is rich in Chi
nese and Japanese curios. The house
and lot are valued at $3.50, 900, and the
furnishings at $3.50, 600. Mrs Stanford
made an address to the trustees, insist
ing upon the necessity of economy in
the management Of this great educa-
tional trust. 1t was decided to reduce
the number of trustees from "a to 15,
and 70 make their terms ten years in
stead of life.

The attempt to make political cap

to savannah on st. Patrick's Day, is
one that reflects great credit upon the
ingenuity of the Constitution, which
in recent issue says:
The presence of Fleming du Bignon
in the corridor of tho klmball sug-
gested the discussion among crowd
of weliknOwn politicians yesterday
that Savannah might offer two candi-
dates for governor at the next cleo
ton. 1t is political axiom that du-

stock has been on the market for
many months, During the last few
weeks the PROPHETS have pointed TO
Mayor Peter Meldrim, and to assure
this prophecy they are showing tip a
series of circumstances which they
think go to show that the mayor is
grooming himself for the run. To
support the prediction they call at
tentiou to the program arranged for
the reception of Governor Atkinson
In Savannah. There are others, of
course, but the probability of two Ss-
vannah candidates will make the race
gingerly.

patriotism and efoqueuUe, together

SHE MARRIED A VAGRANT.
An Old CrOne Persuaded Her, but He
Parents Took Her Away.

An Old CrOne Persuaded Her, but Her
Parents Took Her Away.
A pretty member of one Of the best
families in Orangeburg, S. G., has mar
ried a vagrant just out of the aims
house and gives as a reason for her con-
duct that the mans mother, a fortune
teller, persuaded her that death would
soon claim her if she did not marry the
son of the old crone.
Eva Easterlin was the name Of the
unfortunate girl, Jim Courtney being
her husband. The couple went to the
residence of Justice Brinson and asked
to be married, Courtney representing
Miss Easterlin as a factory hand from
an adjacent cotton mill. They We're
married and proceeded to the shabby
room where Courtney had been living.
But the honeymoon Of the i'll matched
pair was of short duration. The parents
of the girl, hearing that their daughter
had been seen with Courtney, quickly
ascertained the truth, and, giving
chase, found their daughter and took
her home When Courtney appeared on
the streets, he was met by ugly looks
from citizens, so he left town afoot.
1t was thought the young woman had
lost her mind, and her explanation of
the reasons and fears which Influenced
her marriage indicates that her reason
was impaired.
An effort will probably be made to
get the Legislature to annul the mar
riage, but there is no precedent, and it
is unlikely that it will be done now. -

Enamel Watches Of Various COlors-COs-
TUNES For Fancy Dress Ball.


TUNES For Fancy Dress Ball.
Among the fashionable fancies in jewel
nv is the four leaved clover. This has come
to the front again after having retired into
the background from the point Of view Of
fashion. 1t is made in all sorts of jewels
as we'll as in gold, silver and enamel, but
the newest idea is the real clover leaf itself
protected by glass like miniature and
surrounded by diamonds, turquoises, gar
nets, rubies or sapphires.
Watches incased il enamel, blue, green,
red or black, are among the pretty things
worn by wealthy women who can afford to
change watches as they change gowns
These watches are usually fastened to the
bosom of the dress by flower de-luce of the
same enamel, although sometimes they are
worn attached to a lorgnette chain studded
with jewels.
Chatelaines seem to be coming into vogue
again. A very elaborate gold one was seen
the other day having u dozen small objects
suspended by chains. These clashed and
clattered as unhesitatingly as If they had
been made of tin instead of the precious
metal. There is something barbaric in
profuse metallic decoration, however skill

The bodice of the present moment, in

otherwise it would be baggy and shapeless.
If a bodice has become too tight, it
should not be enlarged by adding anything
