Same Old Thing.

The sun rose in the east that morn
Above the hillock's crest
Yet stay. heart. thou wouldst be forlorn.
Did II rise In the west
The early bird had caught the worm
But this is mere addition
Dear heart. ] reck that thou woulcst
squirm
Did shat bird "bust" tradition.
The whppoorwill sang mer'ilee.
As he has always sung;
And, come 10 think, on you yew tree
The same old verdure hung.
And there upon the spreading oak
The robin tuned his lay;
The frog in yonder pond did croak
In Just the same old way.
In fact, all round the country homes
All things we're as Of yore,
Reminding me of summer PONIES
I'd often writ before.
And so. beneath this chestnut tree.
Dear heart. while nature smiles,
Why write down verses CheStnutty?
Best look up the old files.

THE GLASS OF FASHION.

Muslin gowns have transparent
yokes of heavy guipure lace.
SasLes of dotted net, lace or chiffon
are the thing to wear with simple mus
lin gowns.
Lace stoles are the latest touch to the
new summer gowns, and whether they
Are high or low necked does not mat
ter.
Thin gowns are fitted around the
hips by taking in fine tucks at the pack
and carrying them down several inches
below the waist. and the supertuous
fuIlness at the sides Is also disposed OF
y group of tucks.
Taffeta silk gowns trimmed with
cloth bands are one OF the spring nov
elites and seem to be gaining IN favor.
Incrustations Of cloth on the SILK are
also seen, and foulards. too, are com
bincd with the cloth decoration.
The very latest thing In dress trim
mlngs are the fringes which decorate
the nuns yelling gowns with especial
grace. AfrauSeu III ohh"i N'"P~-'
with fringe Oh the edge matching the
yelling in color. the effect Is charming.
White batlste, patterned with de-
sign In cashmere colors and trimmed
with brussels lace insertion and edglng
makes one Of the smartest gowns OF
the season. 1t Is made over white tar
feta, and the skirt is rufiled at the fee'
with white batiste edged with lace

IMMENSE ICE TRUST.
Bill in Maine for n S6O.OoO.OOO Cor
poratiOn.


Augusta, Me-, Jan. ga bill for incor-
porating the American Ice Company was
introduced in the legislature yesterday
By Representative Joseph H. Manley, o,
this city. The capital stock is placed at
$GO,000,OO0. The incorporators are Charles
4. Blair, Augustus y Sprague, Henry II.
Sheppard, J. Henry Sturgis, H. NJ. Heath.
and f. E. Smith.
The bill permits the combine to engage
in the business of carrying passengers and
freight by water to and from Maine ports.
1t is thought that the Maine Office CT the
new company will be in Augusta. and it is
expected to attempt to control the supply
of the Atlantic seaboard.
The new combination is the result of d
gradual process of Capitalization which
has been going on in the ice trade for two
years. The ice trade of the Kennel C
Penobscot. and other Maine rivers was
formerly handled by innumerable con-
Germs, but the small companies have re-
Gently been rapidly disappearing Thsir
interests have been purchased by the
larger corporations OF the East. of which
the leaders are the Consolidated Ice Com
pany. of New York, and the Knickerbock-
er. The former organization has been IN
control of the kennNsc field for some
time. and has also been making inroads
in the business on the Penobscot.
1t is understood that the American Ice
Company is union of the Knickerbec ECKER
and Consolidated companies.

the method of procedure, nor TO the in
PRODUCTION at the outset of the plan of de-
fence. Whether this bodies good or i'll for
the accused cannot be determined. but it
is only proper TO say that the court en-
joys the highest confidence Of military
men. and whatever may be the future
methods adopted by the defendant in
claiming leniency at the hands Of his fell
low-oficers. it is the general belief that
the verdict will BE- severe in proportion 10
the enormity of the offence.
1t was unusual TO allow the presentation
of General Eagans revised testimony to

the Objectionable utterances had been elm

sary by some TO hear the testimony of Cen
eral Miles in answer to which came the
scurrilous attack OF the C0mmissary Gen
eral, this being taken to fOTeshadow an at
tempt to show extreme provocation, In
fact, there were several unusual things de-
veloped during the four hours session, but
confidence in the court is mistaken for all
this. Military authorities object that none
of the evidence Just noted should have been
entertained, siGce the business of the court
is merely to determine whether the &C used

WOMEN WANT cURFEW RUNG.
Ask Tint Children he Prohibited
From Bcin: Out at Night.

Mount Vernon, y. Y. Jan. 25-The
Westchester Woman's Club which in
cludes in its membership the social lead
ers of the city, is making a vigorous effort
to have a curfew ordinance enacted by the
common council. At the last meeting of
the aldermen a lengthy petition, which
had been prepared by the sociology sec
ton of the Woman's Club was handed in.
signed by many of the most prominent
women in the city. The petition was re-
ferred to the committee of the whole and
it is expected the women will soon be
given a public hearing by the common
council.
The women in their petition ask for
the enactment OF an ordinance which shall
prohibit any children unaccompanied by
their elders being upon the streets after
o'clock. They also ask that the curfey
hour be rung by special bell loud enough
to be heard in all sections of the city
Judge Schatz is also heartily in favor of
curfew ordinance being enacted. as he
thinks there are altogether too many
children allowed to roam the streets late
at night.
