colors and delicate tints historic, patri-
otto and other memories can now be
perpetuated with ice cream, things of
beauty and a JOY, alas, not forever, but
until they melt. And the most wonder
full of all is the lamp.
While the plebeian thankfully de-
molished his pat of ice cream in the hot
summer months skilled artists were
working away on the lamp. OF course
they were busy with other things, too
but the lamp was their chief worry
They cast and recast thick tin molds
with rough, ugly exteriors, but which,
when opened on the hinge, disclosed
fine concave lines on the metal surface
And so difficult was their task that the
lamp is only just completed and has not
appeared on any banquet table. The
rich are hard TO please and take no
pleasure in the pat that brought the
plebeian summer joy. Art must grace
the feasts of winter.
The design is perfect imitation of a
miniature lamp. Every line is delicate
ly nodded, and the firm cream, except
to the initiated, looks exactly like tint
ed china The base is of chocolate, the
round oil bowl of palest pink strawber-
ry, with two white doves in vanilla as or
nament on each side. Then comes lit
tie row of pistachio, jutting down into
the pink, while the burner and upper
parts are of chocolate. The whole is
placed on plate, and then a silver
shade holder is attached, bearing deli
cate pink, green, yellow, red or laven-
der Grape paper shade tied with tiny
silk bow.
Around the table white satin COW
cred electric wire is run. 1t is almost
invisible. At each cover, attached to
this wire, is an ingenious contrivance
by which bulb can be adjusted in a
second behind the plate. The bulb rests
on a minute stand and fits in under
meath the Grape shade That this gives

proved when the lamp was experiment.
ed with at prominent caterers. The
so or 60 delicately shaded bulbs trans
form the board with its glittering sill
yer and painted plates, into something
like fairyland New York Tribune.

of the passage of the bill, If not at
the present session, in the next regu-
lar session of congress. Mr.. Caldwell
bases his opinion on what he saw and
heard at the capital and says that a
change has come over the situation
since the bill was first introduced,
and that the change has been all in
favor of the roads.
A meeting of the general officers of
joint traffic lines will be held in New
York next week to consider the de-
moralization that at present reigns
among the members of the association
upon east-bound freight rates. 1t is
expected that the matter of curtailing
the powers of the board of managers
will soon be considered.
The Western roads have declined to
make any reduced rates for the coming
big prize fight in Nevada. The chances
are, however, that a low rate will be
ma de, as one road has already given
notice of it's intention to make low
fare Independently of any action by
the association, and it is likely that
others will be forced to take similar
action.

TAKING NORTHWESTERN,S MEN.
President Winter Is Drawing From
His Old Road

1t is said by a good many railroad
men that the resignation of John Scott.
OF the Northern Pacific, was not such
a pleasant affair as has been gem
orally supposed, and that the resigna-
ton was the logical result of the re-
trenchment plan recently inaugurated
1T is said quietly that Mr.. Scott was
asked to accept a smaller salary than
the one he was receiving, and that he
promptly refused to do so, and that
he was then given the privilege Of
resigning. 1t is causing some COM
ment that Mr.. Winter is filing all Of
these vacancies by appointing men
from the Northwestern system. Mr.
Herr was appointed from the North
western to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr. Hickey as su-
perintendent of motive power. Mr..
Gray, also Of the Northwestern, was
appointed to succeed Mr.. Scott. Mr.
Winter, while connected with the
Omaha, learned the good qualities Of
many of the officials of that road. and
intends to remember his old associates
as the opportunity offers.

TWO-CENT FARE.
Iowa Commissioners Believe
Would Be Unjust to Roads.

DES MONIES, To-, Feb. 6.-On Jan.
IA, w. w. Field, president Of the State
Agricultural society, addressed a let
ter to the board of railroad commission
ers of this state, asking, in view of the
discussion now going on IN relation to
a maximum rate Of cents per mile
for passenger traffic, what rate would
be fair for both sides. The commission
ers have replied at considerable length
and although they do not express them
selves fatty on the matter, they are of
the opinion that a 2-cent rate at the
present time will be very unjust to
the roads. They go deeply into the
statistics of recent years, and say:
These statistics indicate that at the
present time the average fare charged
in Iowa Is less than the actual cost Of
transpOrtating the passenger, and that
within the last three or four years,
passenger earnings have decreased
without a corresponding decrease in
the cost Of doing business" The
board states that it's answer to Mr..
Field is Of an unofficial nature, but it
is nonetheless of the opinion that in
simple justice to the railroads of the
state passenger fares could not at the
present time be reduced.
