DEPEW COMING WEST.
He VIII EndenvOr to Adjust the Rail-
way Rate Troubles at st. Louis.

NEW YORK, Sept. N.-The Times will
say tomorrow: 1.-The rate situation in ST
Louis territory is causing deep concern
among railroad men, both East and West.
The attention of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton has been called to threatened trouble
in number of ways and efforts are MAX
ing in the direction of harmony. Condi-
tons have assumed so serious an aspect in
st. Louis territory, however, that President
Chauncey NJ. Depew, of the Joint Traffic
Association is going out there early next
month for the purpose of investigating, and
of mediating if possible. He will look into
the causes of the present disagreement, and
will consult with the leading officers of the
St. Louis roads, with view to inducing
them to adjust their differences and keep
freight rates on a stable basis. Mr.. Depew
remarked yesterday that he did not believe
that any one of the railroads engaged in
the rate cutting was profiting by the oper-
alton. He thought that pure cussedness"
was at the bottom of the trouble. Mr.. De-
pew will start for the West Immediately
after the meeting of New York Central
stockholders, to be held in Albany on Oct
5. His trip is expected to take in a wide
range of territory, in order that he may
familiarize himself with these conditions and
prospects in the West. He will go as far as
Omaha. and will be present at the Trans
mississippi exposition there New York
day, Oct. 8. on which occasion, as president
of the New York commission, he will de-
liver an address on Commercial Union be-
tween the East and West Two days later
Mr. Depew is to be in Chicago and on the
afternoon of Monday, Oct. 10, he will de-
liver an address in the Auditorium on The
Position and Responsibilities of the Repub-
lican Party. In the evening of that day
he will be the guest of honor at a banquet"

AS A BUSINESS,

One trouble with women-many of
them. at least--is that they fail to rec-
ognize housekeeping as business, to
be carried on as "A business lis, with Dig
nifty and method. They regard ii as a
mere drudgery, and they fret and worry
over 1t until both mind and body are
disturbed and the peace OF the houses

cannot be out of sorts without putting
every other member of the family out.
She sets the note for the family har-
mcny. III IL be discordant, there is a

nearly approximate the latter condition
and keep from the former by having
things so arranged about the house that
everything will so like the traditional

IT is no trivial matter this OF plans

every right TO expect the best use 10 be
made Of the provision. and this use un-
derlies all questions OF domestic econ-

bayadere, but, being of the color OF the
| cloth, are not SO disastrously pronounce
! ed as are some Of the light silks.
Many of the new reps have fine lines
or cut velvet upon them. Velvets and
velveteens for trimmings and even for
| gowns demand serious attention again
Corduroy coats are worn with cloth
| skirts and look very well on slim wo-
men. A new fabric, which commends
itself because Of its unique appearance,
looks like stripes of woolen braid, about
a quarter of an inch wide, crossed and
recrossed to form small checks. An
other cloth has plain, heavy back
ground spotted with small ttHts of a
brighter color.
Borders to match the gown go with
some OF the materials, something like
the old fashioned shawls. Blue and
black are two colors that are much in

much used and not likely 10 be ousted

fascinating they may seem on first ac-
quaintance.
Speaking of bayadere stripes recalls
that some of the yelling now making its
appearance on the new hats is striped
with ribbon lines of chenille Court
plaster effects are simulated on the
veilings, too, by means of large patches
or black applied irregularly to the net.
The court plaster is decidedly outre in
effect. and the striped yelling gives
beauty's face the appearance OF peering
through the bars OF an iron cage. The
wells are worn so much shorter, just
sweeping the tip of the nose. that il is

of lace. The cloak reached but little be-
how the hips and was finished with four
more rows Of putting and still another
deep lace flounce. The high oval coll
lar of closely plated chiffon was finish
ed at the ends with long scarfs of the

with heavy white silk.

THE NEW SAM0VAR FAD,

Within the last few years the serv-
ing of tea has been reduced To a fine
art. The fashionable o'clock tea is to
be thanked for many fad in connec-
tion with this pleasing diversion not
the least OF which is the rise of the
Eamovar. Now, while samovar sounds
very foreign and impressive. ii is moth

The New Coat.-

Coats are an absolute necessity fop
the fashionable woman and are many
and varied of form and quite distinct
from the skirt. First as TO novelty
comes the long swallowtail, which in
England has only reached TO three
quarter depth. but in Paris is already
worn TO the edge OF the skirt. The long,
rounded basque closely defines the hips,
while the front is rounded Off and cut
away. Sometimes the basque is tabled
or scalloped and the front finished in a
variety OF ways, the tightly fitted sin-
gle or double breast, with tailor lapels,
being most popular.
The swallowtailed coat is exceed-
ingly effective in almond or antelope
cloth to wear over black or dark
skirt. more especially when the toilet
is completed by black hat with
spreading feathers and gloves matching
the coat. The vest is of white silk COW
