pretty, they will soon become very common.
In fact, the wise woman will eschew any
thing in sunburst pleating which has been
taken up by the shops in too wholesale q
manner to make it available for the we'll
dressed woman.
A very dressy cape, and one that will be
wisely purchased, is made of black cloth
circular shape. The edge is concealed by
a putting of white chiffon and over that
in turn falls fiounce of black lace.
The third layer of the cape consists of
points of black grenadine with black satin
appliques and an edge of sequins. The
points start at the neck, under q band OF
ribbon tied in large bow at the neck
and brought around with two long ends
in front. The collar is high and pleated,
like that on every cape of the present
season.
Such a cape naturally is suitable only
for dressy occasions. a very useful cape is
of black velour satin or MORE, trimmed
with jet ornaments. 1t is sufficiently full
to be box-pleated ali around. and is finished
at the neck with frill of black satin and
ribbon loops and bows.
The cape is pretty IL lined with some
material having a chine effect.

GREAT WAS HIS FALL.
A cyclist Tried3to Ride Down the
Capitol steps.

William Shields, who poses as trick
cyclist, tried to ride down the west steps
of the Capitol yesterday afternoon. Will
lam IS twenty-one years old, and will know
better some day, even if his experience
yesterday did not teach him something
about the law of gravitation. He was sue
cessful in starting; that much was in his
favor, but his descent was rapid, very
rapid. Bump, bump, bump, came the cycle
down the broad stone steps on which great
men and statesrsen have been satisfied to
use their pedal ex tremttiesin ascending and

today by refusing TO bring before the
commission the books and records os his
company.
Mr.. Newlin OF the Texas Cattle Crow
ers' association demanded the hooks and
asked the commission TO issue a subpoena TO
compel the secretary TO produce them.
Attorney Babcock claimed the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company was an
Illinois corporation doing business entirely
in Cook county and that the commission
had nothing to do with its affairs.
Chairman Morrison was of a different
opinion and wanted to issue the subpe-
ma. but after conference with Mr..
Prouty and other associates he announced
the subpoena would not be issued. He said
the Union Stock Yard and Transit COM
pany. although an Illinois corporation do
ing business entirely in Cook county, was
handling interstate business and hence was
subject to the inquiry by the commission.
He said his associates did not agree with
him and hence no subpoena would be ia
sued.
Tho object of the efforts to bring in the
books and records of the Union Stock
Yards and Transit company was to show
the railroad formerly held the stock aud
organized the Stock Yards company and
Mr.. Newlin was DESTROYS o. showing the
relations of these roads and the company at
the present time.
Secretary Dennison OF the Union Stock
yards reported at the opening OF the after
noon session with the data in reference to
the organization of the company. He said
thu original stock was for 5000 0O0, sub
scribed for as follows; Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy. $685. Northwestern, $l26,
Alton, 0.000; Illinois Central, $50 200;
packing house, $1,000.
He did not know the present holders OF
the stock or any details of the transfer of
owners by the railroads.
Mir. Babcock then renewed his motion for
dismissal OF the stoekyards company on the
ground OF lack of jurisdiction, but Chair
man Morrison again ruled the motion out

tie importance were disposed Of the com
