and summer regardless Of the popular
ity which is enjoyed during the fall
and winter.
The latest novelty in this color, how
ever, comes in the form Of an Ameri-
can Beauty hat, which is a large, fiat
crown of fancy rough straw profusely
decorated with the fragrant roses.
When it is considered that the wom-
an of fashion owns no less than doz-
en- hats for each season there will be
no longer any need to wonder why SO
many different designs in headgear
have been introduced,
Any large, round crown of fancy
red straw, turned up at the back and
supported by mass of red velvet roses
will ne the fashionable shape for an
American Beauty hat. Around the
brim is set full wreath of the how-
ers. The rich red is set off by the
beautiful green of the leaves.
The American Beauty hat is espe-
cia1ly becoming to brunettes.-Helen

Mercedea.

"eICeocBs
Under sultry, yellow sky,
On the yellow sand 1 lie;
The crink1ed vapors smite my brain,
shoulder in a fiery pain.
Above the crags the condor flies;
He knows where the red gold lies,
He knows where the diamonds shine;
If I knew, would she be mine?
Mercedes in her hammock swings;
In her court a palm-tree filings
Its slender shadow on the ground
The fountain falls with silver sound.
Her lips are like this cactus cup;
With my hand 1 crush it up;
I tear its flaming leaves apart;
Would that I could tear her hearth
Last night a man was at her gate
In the hedge 1 lay in wait;
I saw Mercedes meet him there,
By the fire-fiies in her hair.
I waited till the break of day,
Then 1 rose and stole away;
But left my dagger in her gate:
Now she knows her lovers fate!

Electric Power in Mining.

The application of electrically trans
mitted power to ore-crushing mills,
situated at the mines is regarded as
working almost a revolution in some
mining operations. At the Sheba gold
mines in Africa, water power is trans
mitted by wire for a distance of five
miles, and an enormous saving in the
cost of milling the ore has thus been
effected. In a mountainous country no
other means of conveying power is
comparable with flexible copper wire,
which crosses hills and valleys, and
winds one way or another with equal
ease.

An Evening Hat.

For evening wear a small bonnet
should always be used. This rule has
its exception, however, in the aigrette,
which is worn on very full dress oc-
casions, such as receptions, operas and
the like. But there are times when
an evening headress is in order and
the aigrette is Inappropriate; then a
small bonnet or toque should be worn.
At dinner given by a well-known
hostess a few evenings ago your cor

Kansas City, No, Jan. 19.-Grain-
men, bucketshop and dynamite shop
keepers generally, to the number of
seventeen, were arrested by the police
today under the new anti-poolroom

The list of firms on which warrants
have been served includes some of the
best-known grain firms in the city,
some of whom have been doing bust

trade for years. AS fast as arrested,
the proprietors were released on 500

NICARAGUA CANAL DEFENDED
MARITIME COMPANY OFFICIALS
BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Declare They Have Actually Expend-
ed So, O,OOo-Panama Waterway
Would Cost $4oO,ooO,ooo.

Washington, Jan 19-The Maritime
Canal company, representing the old
concession for building the Nicaragua
canal, had a hearing today before the
commerce committee of the house. The
Maritime company was represented by
It's president Hiram Hitchcock; the
president of the Construction company,
J. W. Miller, and the solicitor of the
company, Mr.. A T. Mason. Professor
HauDt, one of the Nicaraguan canal
commission, was present to discuss en-
cheering features involved, and Hon.
Warner Miller, former president Of the
Maritime Canal company, was also
present.
President Hitchcock took up the or
ganizatiOn Of the Cragin-Grace syndi-
cate, and stated that his understand
ing was that, owing to discourage
ments, the syndicate had dissolved
prior TO the time when the contract for
the concession was secured. He de-
clared that the last concession was in
violation of the rights and interests of
the Maritime Company and OF the
United States government.
Mr.. Stewart asked Mr.. Hitchcock if
the company had gone into this plan
with a view of unloading it on the gov
eminent.

such a purpose, he said.
The finances Of the company and the
amounts of cash it had actually scent
were inquired into minutely by mem
bers oe the committee; also the rela
lions between the 7faritime company
and the Construction company. The
latter had spent something over 81,

Mr.. Hitchcock said if the government
took u the work he believed the COM
pany could retire such stock and bonds
as were outstanding, except that held
by Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
What do you think of the Panama
canal, in its effect on your canal?" Mr.
Hitchcock was asked.

Professor HauDt, d member of the
Nicaraguan canal commission, said the
essential point was to secure inme-
date action under existing conditions,
in order to avoid dangerous comDljca-
tons which would postpone and pos
sibly defeat the entire canal project.
Professor Hau9t said the Panama

SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOATS.
Successful Experiments Conducted By
the French Government.

Paris, Jan. 19.-In the chamber OF
deputies today, NJ. Paschal Grousset.
radical socialist, introduced the ques-
ton of submarine boats, in which YES
sells, he said, successful experiments
had been conducted at Toulon. The
deputy pointed out the Importance of
this matter, which he alleged would
produce a revolution in naval tactics.
He further declared that a syndicate
Of iron manufacturers had for two
years past opposed the construction of
submarine boats, and had tried TO pre-
vent the success of the experiments in
these vessels. Therefore he moved the
appointment of a commission to exam
inc into the question, and asked for
urgency on his motion.
The minister of marine, NJ. Lockroy,
opposed NJ. Grousset's motion, on the
ground that a committee of the cham
Der Of deputies would be incompetent
to deal with the question, which, he
added, was in charge of specialists.
The trials Of the Gustave Zeede, he
continued, had shown that she possess
ed the required capabilities, not only
for firing torpedoes under water, but
for navigability under water But
France, the marine minister said, was
the only power in possession of a prac-
ticable submarine boat.
The chamber rejected the motion for
urgency by a vote of 357 to 121.

New York, Jan. 19-The fact devel-
oped today that the transfer of the
Oregon Short Line to the Union Pa
cific, which the directors Of the latter
road have been empowered to make,
is likely to be delayed by a suit
brought by c. II. Venner Of Boston,
as a Union Pacific shareholder, against
the road, in which he is in a small way
identified. A meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Union Pacific was held at
Salt Lake City, Jan. 10, when authority
was given the Union Pacific board to
increase the common stock S2S 600, coo
in order to take over the Short Line.
This matter win be considered in the
early part of next month. A director
of the Union Pacific said today that
the Venner suit is likely to delay the
transfer, but that the argument he
presents will be strongly met and will
cause no permanent trouble.

BUSTER THAN EVER.
Budget of News From Union Pacific
Wyoming Division.


Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 19.-There is
more work being done in the Union Pa
cific shops at this place than ever be-
fore, and all departments are rushed
to keep up with the demand for more
engines. During the past two months
between fifteen and twenty locomo-
tiVeS were smashed and rendered unfit
for service by wrecks, and between
forty and fifty cars were demolished.
All of this repair work has accumu-
lated at the shops here. More men
are being employed daily. and the en-
ployment agencies in the east and
south have been called upon for a
large supply of skilled mechanics,
boiler-makers. smiths, etc. The shops
are being operated about seVenty-two
hours per week.
Engineer Hawley of Laramie has
been let out on account of an accident
on Sherman hill the other day, in
which Hawley ran a pusher into the
rear end of a freight engine.
Baggage-master T. E. Jones, at
Cheyenne. has resigned because his
salary was reduced. He formerly
worked for the Union Pacific at Salt
Lake.
The engine pilot bill which was
presented to the Wyoming Legislature
a few days ago by the employees of
the Wyoming division, has caused a
big fight among the men. Several
prominent conductors at Cheyenne an
nounced that their order is not back
of the bill, and that the Order of Rail-
way Conductors is not supporting it.
AS soon as the announcement was
made, other conductors asserted that
the order is in favor of the bill and is
pushing it. The probabilities are that
the bill will not be favorably consid-
cred by the legislature.

NEW EQUIPMENT.
Five New Modern Cars For the
Union Pacific.


Cheyenne. Wyo.. Jan. 19.-Five new
cars have made their appearance on
the Union Pacific, and are exciting
great interest among railroad men. The
cars, which were built by the Pullman
company from specifications furnished
by Master Mechanic Manning of the
wyoming division of the Union Pacific
are made of steel, and are fireprcof. In
length and general outside appearance
they are similar 10 the regulation bag
gage cars. They are equipped with por
table stalls, feed racks and hunks, and
We're designed for the transportation
of fine horses, race sock, ETC., across
the continent between San Francisco,
Salt Lake, Chicago and New York. The
stalls are padded and arranged in such
a manner that the horses can be han
died without danger of injury. IN case
the cars are desired for hauling bag
gage and express. the stalls feed racks,
hunks. etc. can be removed in a very
few minutes, and the car transformed
into a baggage car. Mr.. Manning has
been highly complimented on his work,
and railroad men say that the Man
ming horse car is superior to all other
cars of its kind yet constructed.

MRS. GEORGE INDICTED.
Slayer of Mrs. McKinley's Brother
CHARGED With Murder.

Canton, o., Jan. 19.-The grand jury
today returned a true bill against Mrs.
Annie George for numbering George D.
Saxton last October. The indictment
is for the first degree, and the pen
atty is death by electrocution. Saxton
was a brother of Mrs. William McKin-
ley. He was shot as he was about to
enter the residence of Mrs. Eva A
Althouse, widow of the late George
AlthOuse According to common re-
port, Saxton had changed his affections
from Mrs. George to Mrs. AlthOuse.
A preliminary hearing here last Oc-
tober created much comment and ex-
element, and now that it is known
that everything connected with the
life of Saxton (who was a wealthy
bachelor) and his associates, will come
out in the trial, which will soon take
place, there is a general revival of the
old scandal and its sequel in the ira
gedy of last October

Especial Correspondence.)

Cheyenne, Wvo., Jan. 1S.-The sur
veillance OF the United States govern
ment over timber is becoming more
stringent than ever. The newest SEN
sation in TIMBER depredations is laid
to what is Known as the Rock Springs
Lumber company. which has employed
about 800 men cutting timber near the
head of Green river, in Fremont and
Sweetwater counties. The matter is
under the investigation of Special
Agent Abbott of the interior depart
ment. The company claim to have COM
piled with she law in every particular;
say they have only been cutting timber
on lands either acquired from the state
of Wyoming, which had selected the
land under government grants, or on,
land Dou@ht with soldier scrip from
the g6yernment. They say the charges
