SUMMER MILLINERY PAGEANT.



Novelties for the Season.
NEW YORK, March 9-The spring
pageant in millinery is opening most
propitiously, and with full score of
novelties The frst-comers in the shop
windows are always the walking and travel
ing, golfing and shopping straws and there
is not possibly unbeComing shape in the
list.
A style that commands attention Is the
golfers treasure, with a stiff cream straw
alpine crown and a brim Of scarlet, or plaid,
or tan brown felt, bound with broad gros
grain ribbon. wing and twist of silk, or
a belt of gros grain ribbon, drawn through
a gay enameled buckle at one side is the
type OF trimming advocated. These COM
Portable, sensible little hats won't out-rival
though, the Inevitable straw sailor which is
already bobbing UP serenely in new guise.
Mixed straw is what the best sailor is woven
OF, and a good, pliable, fine straw at that, to
allow of rather wider brims and very much
larger taller crowns than we have had in
a long time.

great many of the prettiest outing hats
are in an exaggerated sailor shape and
made to be trimmed. Their tall crowns
are higher behind than before, and the
decoration is done in swattings and loopings
of brilliant taffeta, with wings or quils
There is another sort of very captivating
sailor i'm the newly arrived millinery stock
called the Canadian" Just why Canadian
it is hard to say, for the name does not
describe its low crown with a followed top
its wide brim that curls up on the edges and
It's crown band nearly as white as the crown
itself. A Canadian is sure to prove a tip
top sun-shade, and you can buy it in a straw
as fine and as soft as Panama.
Next in order of merit is the done over,
revivified Alpine, which you can have in
the smart Homburg or Cape Town shape.
A Homburg is a pearl gray felt affair with
a wide, unusually wide curly brim sweeping
away from lofty crown and rejoicing in
decoration of gray, or gold, or green cock
plumes in a thick tuft to one side. Cape
Town shape is exactly the same thing with
the difference that on one side the wide
brim is drawn up and made fast by tuft
of quills, while the other side of the brim
bends down over the face and hair.
Dress Hats.
To turn from a counter full of things
jaunty and taut Is to arrive at a showcase
full of the small straw toques and bonnets
that will prevail later on You can match
in a straw toque any gingham or muslin
i'm your summer repertory of gowns, so
various are the colors of the straws, and,
best of all, you can very nearly afford to
have a hat to match every cotton dress,
since these stray topknots are not eXpen-
sive, and they need the merest handful of
trimming. Some of, them are sef-trimmed
with their own eccentric, twisted brims,
knots and rolls and loops of straw, and they
all have names. The Trelawney, Lady May
and dozens more are hot favortes among
the buyers, who have to wear these
trfes back on their heads and wear with
them the gayest of wells.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-President Robert T.
Lincoln, of the merged Pullman and
Wagner Palace Car companies, will re-
ton. 1t has been reported from time
to time that w. Seward Webb, a broth
er-in-law of w. K. Vanderbilt would
succeed Mr.. Lincoln and recently the
report was renewed. Mr.. Lincoln was
asked if the story was true. He replied:
1T is news to me-
Further than this he declined to dis
cuss the affairs of the company. How
ever, from other sources it was learned
that the executive management of the
new company would be largely the
same that has conducted the Chicago
corporation with notable success
DR.. Webb, instead of becoming presi-
dent, will remain a director, serving in
that capacity more or less prominently
as his other affairs warrant.

COL PoLKs "oAUsTIC LINES"
They Are Responsible For His Trouble
With the Texas Commission.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 11.-Col. L. J. Polk,
general manager of the Gulf, Colorado
q Santa Fe railroad, who has been
cited to appear before the railroad com
mission and show cause why he should
not be held in contempt, will have his
hearing on December 10. There is great
interest taken by the railroad people
throughout the state in the outcome of
the case. Should Col. Polk be found
guilty as charged the penalty provided
by law is a fine of not less than 5000
and three days imprisonment.
One of the commissioners in explana-
ton of the proceedings stated that Col.
Polk in times past has written very
caustic letters to the commission, and
that after the Sc emergency rate was
put in Col. Polk requested that the mat
ter be re-opened and all sides be heard.
The commission refused the request on
the ground that the matter had been
thoroughly looked into. This called
forth what the commissioners term a
most Offensive and vicious letter. The
commission determined to arraign Mr..
Polk, but gave him the opportunity of
avoiding it by informing him through
the mail that if he desired to do so the
commission would allow him to with
draw his letter which had given such
offense. This Col. Polk refused to do
and replied in even more caustic
terms" as one of the commissioners

SANTA FEps SCENIC BRANCH
Grand Canyon Road is Building at
the Rate of a Mile a Day.

Chicago, Dec. Ill. H. Martin, gen
eral manager of the Iowa Central,
whose resignation will take effect on
January l, is in Chicago today to meet
officials of the Santa Fe in connection
with the new railroad project he is in
terested in. Some time ago a company
was formed under the name of the San
ia Fe & Grand Canyon Railroad COM
pany to build a railroad line from Will
liams, A. T., on the Santa Fe to the
Grand canyon of the Colorado. The
grading and bridging is completed and
Is miles of track laid. This work is be-
ing completed at the rate of mile
day, and it is expected that the entire
road from Williams to the canyon, a
distance of AZ miles, will be completed
before cold weather begins. The rail-
road will run along the brink of the
gorge for 20 miles but that part of the
road will probably not be commenced
before next spring.
The company will be an Independent
enterprise but closely allied with the
Santa Fe, which will run its trains over
the tracks of the new company. The
new road has a double object in view
the opening of a tourist line to the
canyon, and the development of the
rich copper and other mineral deposits
in the district. Mr. Martin, who is one
of the directors of the new company,
is hopeful of the success of the enter
prise, and thinks that the Grand can
yOn will become one of the greatest
scenic attractions of this country.

to get to the market; that in driving,
the cattle would lose no flesh The cat

ago with the stOckmen.

IN FULL CONTROL
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Can
Dictate Californ q Passenger
Rusiness

Chicago, Dec. 11-Great significance
is attached by railroad men to the Joint
call issued by the Santa Fe and South
ern Pacific roads for a conference Of
the transcOntinental lines on the Cali
fOrnia- passenger situation to be held
here Tuesday. December 10. The opin-
ion is universally held that before the
decision was reached to issue the Joint
call the two roads issuing it had form
ed some kind of a compact between
themselves regarding a division of the
business and how il should be handled.
If this opinion is correct the two roads
named will be able to occupy the posi-
ton OF dictatOrs in all matters concern
ing traffic into and out OF California
They control the situation there abso-
lutely. They are the only roads own
ing lines in the state, and without their
consent no other road can do business
in the state. So long as they act in
harmony and support the same policy
in traffic affairs the other roads can
do nothing but submit to whatever
terms they may be pleased to lay down.

FARMERS HOLDING GRAIN.
Shipments Into Chicago In Novem-
Der Lightest In Five Years.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE grain traffic
on western lines in November has been
disappointing to railway officials and
grain dealers. Deliveries of grain here
for November by leading western lines
We're only 1912 cars. This is a reduc-
ton by so per cent on the October
movement. The falling off is due to
the Discrimination of farmers to sell
grain at the present low prices and in a
less degree to falling off in the export
demand. The November showing by
the western roads is in comparison with
former years. In November, 1898, 1858
more cars were delivered thanin NOvem-
Der of the present year. The deficiency, as
compared with 1897, was 1862 cars,
and as compared with 1896, 12,479 cars
The November movement has been the
smallest since 1894, when 1858 cars
were delivered.
The proportion of the leading roads
was: Rock Island, 17.3 per cent; St.
Paul, 17.2 per cent; Illinois Central, III
per cent; Northwestern, lib per cent.
The live stock receipts at Chicago in
November were q, 412 cars, an increase
over October of 1856 cars. The st.
Paul delivered 1876 cars; the Burling-
ton, 4,819; the Northwestern, 4,704; and

Construction of Road Out of Deming
to Commence in the Spring.

Santa F7e, N. NJ, Dec. 1.-THE con-

spring The line is to go to Palomas
and Ascension, then southwark to
Guerrero on the east side of the Sierra
Madre mountains, then westward
across the range to AgiavampO, on the
bay of the same name on the Gulf of
California. The road will connect either
with the Mexican Central or the Chi
huahua & Pacific, now being built from
Chihuahua westward to Guerrero.
The promoters of the road purchased
a large tract of land in the southern
extremity of the MOntezuma district
of Sonora, which will be tapped by the
road. The tract is rich in anthracite
coal KOuntze Bros, bankers of New
York city, will place the bonds. Chica-
go and Philadelphia capitalists are in

build a road south from Deming to the
Mormon colonies west of Casas
Grandes. These colonies have claims
against the grade which have never
been settled.

Hazen did not deem them important
enough to hold the case open until their
arrival.
The principal witness introduced in
rebuttal was Charles Colburn, who tes-
titled that Harding, the artist who said
in a deposition the first shot fired was
q light one, told him on the train i'm
mediately after the tragedy, that the
first shot he heard was heavy one On
ss-exaninatiOn the defense brought
out the fact that Mr.. Colburn is an
agent for the Kansas Mutual, the same
company for which H O. Jackson now
works, and also that he is a. relative of
r. L. Herrick. the attorney for Mrs
Lena Belle jackson in her damage suit
against YOeman, but the court would
not allow this latter point to be pressed
by the defense
Patrol Driver Bundy was placed on
the stand again to testify that he ex-
amined YOeman's wounds on the day of
the shooting and he saw no fresh wound
back Of his armpit
o The defense sent for DR.. McClintock
to examine the wound and state wheth-
er or not it was a fresh one. but the
court said it could not wait longer, and
the evidence was closed at 2:4O O'Clock.
The jury was dismissed over Sunday
and returned at $3.50 this morning, at
which time Judge Hazen instructed
them TO go in a body, in charge of
Bailif COyne. to the former jackson
premises In Potwin to view the scene
of the tragedy.
Judge Hazen instructed them that
they, must not discuss the case among
themselves nor point out anything
about the premises to one another but
that each man must view the premises
for himself and in his own way
A wagon was procured large enough
to take the entire jury and Bailiff
