A Graceful Model.

One of the most graceful models for
a rather full figure, to use in making
up crepe de Chine, Henrietta cloth,
drap royal, or other fine silk and wool
fabric, is the new seven-gored model,
with graceful moderate train, to be
made up separately over foundation
skirt of exactly the same shape. Both
skirts are fitted very snugly over the
hips without darts. At the back the
underskirt is gathered, but the out
side is laid in clustered plaits, under
folded at the belt, but expanding
greatly towards the lower edge, which
measures three and three-fourths
yards at its greatest circ umference.

Fashions in the Shoes.

Tie shapes of shoes as preferred by
the women of France, England and
America are quite as diversified as the
fair Representatives themselves. The
English cut of shoe is mostly fiat and
long; the French, short and broad;
the American, long, narrow and
pointed. Louis.heeled shoes are
holding sway now with all we'll
dressed women, and once again Fash
ion supersedes sense, for Americans
are discarding their square-heeled
shoe for the Louis heel.

In many of the schools of Domestic Science Laundry
work is now taught in thorough and scientific manner:
In the Laundry classroom Ivory Soap is always USED
to wash the articles that require special care and IS
frequently used to the exclusion of all other soaps.
1t is as important to know the best materials Tor
domestic use as to know the best methods tor using
them and Ivory Soap is very generally recognized by
those who have carefully investigated the subject as
the safest and purest soap.

THAT CAR COMPANY COMBINE.
If Pullman Stays Out, Capital Will
Be S6O.OOO,ooo.

Detroit Mich, Feb. 3.-The Evening
News viii says: Although great Sc
crecy has been observed regarding the
plan for a combination of half a dozen
big car companies, it is impossible for
a deal of such magnitude to be accom-
plished without leading men in the rail-
road and steel business getting pretty
close to the facts. The Michigan-Pe-
ninsular Car company was represented
at a meeting in New York yesterday at
the Holland House for the purpose of
closing up the deal by James Mcmillan,

represented by its president, George H.
Russell. It is believed among the best
local authorities that if not already
made, the combination Will be effected
today.
If the Pullman company stays out of
the combine, which seems probable, the
new concern viii be capitalized at $50
600, 900, but if the Pullman company
comes in this capitalization VII be
largely increased. 1t is also understood
that the Michigan Peninsular company

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Ebb of the Tide Welcomed BY the
Brokers.

New York, Feb. S.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Although the stock market has been
active, the volume of transactions has
fallen from the high records estab-
lished in the preceding week At the
close of a month attended by a phe-
nomenal amount of trading and public
participation, which naturally resulted
in a large increase of the detail work,
which was already almost overtaxing
the facilities of the average brokerage
establishment. the change was not an
unwelcome one. In fact it was sug-
gested that, in view of the facts, the
larger interests connected with the
market here concluded to give Wall
street a badly needed respite. At the
same time, after such a remarkable
exhibition of strength and speculative
excitement as the preceding week has
afforded, a reaction was considered due
by many experienced observers, and
not a few of the professional traders
have shown a disposition to take the
bear side, at least temporarily. 1t
cannot be said that the course of the
market has correspondent with such
expectations. 1t has been strong in
tone there have been no marked de-
clines, concessions in prices developed
buying support, and heavy sales by
London produced little impression. On
Friday, in particular, when the de-
cli.leS were sharpest and the traders
seemed to be successfully raiding the
market, the end of the day brought
with il renewed buying support. and
a sharp recovery of losses. Yet it has
also been evident that the eager public
purchasing of stocks has been meas
urably exhausted. The fresh buying
orders that come into the market are

An Important Move In Local Rail-

MAINTENANCE OF RATES
THAT Is THE PRINCIPAL OBJECT
OF TIE ORGANIZATION.
All VIII Participate-Made Neces-
sary By Recent Events-What It
Will Lead to-santa Fe's New
Passage Ticket-The Car Combine
Eastern Roads Big Increase.

Agents of lines Represented in this
city are preparing to organize and
maintain union among themselves,
tie chief purposes OF which will be to
come to a better understanding, to pro-
mote good fellowship, and take all
necessary action toward support and
maintenance Of the present friendly re-
laGlons between the different roads.
This action is dssmed necessary, ow-
ing 20 events in the past few weeks
having a tendency toward a serious dis
ruptiOn in the freight rate situation,
and caused, for the greater part, by
shippers, as investigation has proven.
Some shippers are in the habit of get
ting a rate from one road on a train
load of CATTLE for instance, and, in Sc
curing the rate of a second road, and
the same parties viii misquote figures,
in hope of securing the rate first offered.
This, of course, ia of great concern TO
all competing lines, and causes no end
OF trouble. An instance of this very
kind has recently been disclosed.
BY organizing, the agents believe all
such complications could be easily han
died. the blame fixed, and a more
friendly feeling would result
The association will meet, probably,
once a week. at which time all such
matters can be considered. 1t will be
an organization similar to that formed
in Butte three weeks ago, and to those
now existing in Denver and Portland,
and other western cities.
1t has not yet been determined
whether or not the passenger depart
ments will be included, but all freight
agents in the city will be invited to
membership.

LOSSES IN WYOMING.
Feared That Many Sheep Have Per-
ished In the Storm.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. S.-The blizzard
seems to have spent its fury in Wyom-
ing. and it is thought the worst is over.
No idea of the probable loss to stock
on the ranges can yet be given, but it
is the opinion of the best-informed
stocklnen that the losses will be found
to be great. No wind of sufficient pow
er TO blow the deep SHOWS off the feed
ing grounds has prevailed, and, as
consequence, it is argued, the cattle
and sheep which have not been driven
to cover and fed are bound to have
persisted in great numbers. For the
stock which have been uncared for and
which have survived the unprecedented
snow and cold, little hope is held out.
Stockmen say the loss Will be greater
on sheep thar cattle, as the cattle are
mostly cared for in pas ures and round
ranches, where they can be fed. Most
of the large herds that formerly
roamed on the range have been dis
posed of.
The Union Pacific has been quite
successful in keeping its track clear,
through this division, and although
freight traffic has been practically
abandoned, the passenger trains have
been but little delayed.

NEW NICARAGUA BILL.
House Committee Reports a Substi-
tute For Morgan's Measure.

tute For Morgan's Measure.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The house COM
mittee on Interstate and foreign COM
merce today directed favorable re-
port on the Hepburn Nicaragua Canal
bill. with amendments, as a substitute
for the Morgan bill passed by the SEN
ate.
The sensational feature OF the bill, as
reported, is that it authorizes the presi-
dent Of the United States to acquire by
purchase from Nicaragua and Costa
Rica the territory necessary to build
the canal ana to proceed with the con-
struction of the canal one hundred
and fifty million dollars is appropriated
for the completion of the work author
lied. The changes made in the original
Hepburn bill are reducing the appro-
priation from $40 900, 600 to S115,OU0,000;
striking out the provision for the ac-
duisitfon OF full ownership, JuriSdic-
ton and sovereignty over the route;
and in adding civil engineers from the
navy and civil life to those OF the army
for the purpose of making surveys,
etc.
When reported the bill will have the
parliamentary status OF q senate bill, SO
that If the substitute is agreed to the
subject will go TO q conference com
mittee and the final results expedited
Chairman Hepburn says the report
will be fled on Monday. His plan Is
to ask the committee on rules Tor a

not likely to be next week, as many

largely limited to figures under cur
rent quotations, and. on the other
hand, realizing of profits on a large
scale has been one of the most promi-
nent factors in the weeks speculation.
In fact, conservative houses have gen.
orally advised such action, and the
public has not been slow to follow it.
This checked the general advancing
tendency and caused irregular declines
in many of the standard stocks and
those which led last weeks rise. On
the other hand, bullish activity has
been mainly turned to specialties and
securities manipulated by the many
bull pools, which are usually organized
when the market is in its present con-
dition.
AS already stated, the larger inter-
ests have not been aggressively active,
whether for the reason suggested in
the opening sentences, or because they
were prepared for a measurable re-
action. In some instances support was
extended from such sources when the
realizing sales or the pressure of short
selling by traders seemed likely to
cause declines which might be serious.
There were no declines of striking i'm
portance, and the rumors of the week,
while mainly of a favorable character,
produced no such general effect as the
talk of a new Vanderbilt consolidation
deal, which was one of the chief fac
tors in last weeks exceptional bull
market.
Strength and weakness were irregu-
larly displayed this week, and while
the former has predominated, the opin-
ion seemed to gain ground, particularly
in Wall street professional circles, that
the bull speculation eliminated, at
least temporarily, in the wonderful ac-
tivity of Jan. % and the succeeding
