Depew ReEnrds the Policy of Some
Railroads as Suicidal.
New York, October 20 .-Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, discussing the railroad outlook, says:
Peculiar conditions prevail in railroad
matters just now. There is a large amount
of traffic and in many cases railroad COM
Iepnies can not get calts enough to carry
the freight that is offered And yet some
OF these overcrowae1 roads are cutting
rsnes and making contracts ahead at fig-
ures below the rates scheduled For in
stance, one railroad will make a low con-
tract for the carrying of certain guam
tity of freight thirty or even ninety days
from date In this way that road threatens
TO take away business which the managers
OF other roads DSink they will need when
the time comes. The other roads, conse-
quentiy, look about them and endeayor to
fortify themselves for the future by making
similar cut rate contracts. This light Tor
future business naturally affects present
conditions and causes a iemoraiized scrain-

Women who must mako one gown do

costume, and have fancy blouse
front with collar attached, which is
worn for dressy daylight affairs where
the bonnet is not removed. In most
cases turnover cuff is made to
match, and this transforms the coat
into quite another garment, making it
quite dressy enough to wear with
skirts Of fancy weave or silken texture.
These fronts may be made of tinsel or
jeweled trimmings combined with
chiffon or lace, jet, lace velvet, Or
white satin profusely trimmed with
quite creamy and heavy lace bright
ened with narrow colored or jet passe-
menterie.
"Coats single or double breasted arc

ore decidedly longer than they have
been. With all outdoor garments the
ve1y high collar is conspicuously in
evidence, which to the short-necked
woman is a high and formidable wall
to scale. Indeed, in dress as we'll as
in mantless and coats there is de-
cided favoring Of the Medici collar.
"Colored jackets are having quite a
run, showing green, violet, red, blue,
tan and gray, though in most cases
they are toned down with fur or black
braid, and often both. It is quite as
usual to see the violet coat with a
green skirt, or vice versa, as to see it
worn with black skirt. Gray coats
are fashionable either en- costume or
with different-colored skirt, and are
much worn with black skirts that are
not tailor made. A fancifully trim
med skirt, for some reason Or other,
looks better with q light jacket where
skirt and coat are not Of the same
color and material.
"There ore Elton coats, Russian
coats, little coats to the waist-line with
big cape. sleeves, long coats to the
foot of tho gown, and others that
reach to the knees, each Of which is
shown as new and good style, and
each finds a purchaser. All this goes
to prove that one can more easily be

Loncfellow's First Poem.

This is the first poem Henry W.
Longfellow ever wrote. tits very
comical. Some of our young writers
aud correspondents may like to read
what sort of verse Longfellow wrote
when ho was q child Of nine years
old:
MIR. Tinncy had q turDip.
And 1t grew behind the barn,
And it grew, and it grow,
And the turnip did no harm.
And it grew, and it grew,
Till 1t could grow no taller;
Then Mr.. FiDncy took 1t up
And put it in tho cellar.
There it lay, there it lay,
Till began to rot;
When his daughter Susie washed 1t,
And she put it In tho pot.
Then she boiled it, and boiledit,
AS long as she was able;
Then his daughter Lizzie tooklt,
And she put 1t on tho table.
Mr.. Tinncy and his wife =.
Both sat down to sup;
And they ate aud they ate,
Until they ate tho turnip up.
