The FL Paso and Juarez Traction
are preparing to convert their
lines into an electric system but the
process is a slow one
The stockholders held meeting
this morning and discussed the condi-
tions but came to no definite conclus-
ion as to the next steps to take.
II appears that the franchise or con-
cession in Juarez is the stumbling
block now but hope is entertained that
it will soon be settled. The conces-
sion is offered the company but the
charges for registration OF the papers
is considered too high. The Mexican
authorities want $500 for that privi-
lese alone.
The company has been waiting for
six months on the Mexican authori-
ties and but for this matter would have
had the lines in operation before now.
Another meeting will be held tomor-
row and. it is aid. something definite
will be done.
None of the stockholders would talk
on the subject today. and all say that
the public here has already had too
much to say of their business When
asked what the company would do the
answer came: How much money are
you willing to put into it
Most OF the stockholders have mis-
taken the anxiety of the public as an
effort to drive them. and have closed
up like an oyster and will give out
nothing. II is possible however. that
some will be made tomorrow that will
be in evidence without the open dec
iaration of the company.

fuses to talk for publication But
close friend who may be authorized
to speak for the Nebraskan thus dis
cussed the new situation:
Colonel Bryan is actually dazed by
the blow he received at the polls So
firmly did he believe that he wauld win
that he was jubilant over his pros
poets up until Monday night at Omaha.
SThen even. he retained only slight
doubt If he lost at all he thought it
would be very narrow margin.
He was totally unprepared for what
happened
Col. Bryan will take his time about
analyzing the figures. and he will then
place the blame for his defeat where he
thinks il belongs. AT this moment he
is inclined to blame the democratic
leaders in the doubtful states for the
. showing there. They made him pledg-
es and held out false probabilities to
him.

PARIS, Oct. %. 1900.-Out- door wraps
and coats, like all the other new clothes
Of the season, show very little that is
really a novelty; but among the various
notifications and reviyals there are many
which are so charming that their long
evity is not astonishing. There are. above
all, the Empire models, which have adopted
more Empire traits than ever before.
When these loose backed garments first
appeared there was much adverse criti-
cism. particularly among the masculine
contingent of the fashionable world. who
seemed to fear an intrusion into the time
honored domain of their own models of
dress; but wnen in time the daintiest and
most feminine Announcements erept into
the makeup of these coats and combined
elegance and style with delightful COM
fort which endeared them to every wearer
all scruples soon vanished. and the Empire
model reigns supreme at present. An at
tractive as well as useful garment of this
style is just issued by the Maison Vile
de Bombay. 1t is a blueish grey satin
faced cloth, and is lined throughout with
satin of the same shade The back is cut
with 4 seam and has pointed yoke which
extends also 10 the front, but is hidden
by short cape of the same cloth. cut in
one with the high faring collar
The cape as well as the collar is edged
with thick roll of Persian lamb. and the

called cavalier" sleeve, with its turned
back cuff and undersleeve. Additional

THE LAW AND THE LADY.
Connecticut Justice Has No Use for
Dress Trains.

Connecticut Justice Has NO Use fOI
Dress Trains.
Some time ago the President of the Con-
necticut State Board of Health issued a
bulletin in which he claimed that the TRAIL
ing dresses of women picked up microbes
from the filth OF the streets that are the
direct cause of many eruptive diseases.
He therefore recommended that such gar
ments be prohibited. This bulletin has
evoked much adverse criticism from men,
bers Of the fair sex. who claim that women
have been wearing long dresses for ages.
Old engravings show us that the dresses
worn by women of past generations were
longer than those which are row being
condemned, and there were no ep:iemics
traceable to them.
The Society for the Preservation of the
Trails is now organizing. 1t is arraigGed
against the State Board of Health and If
women had suffrage rights they would de-
stroy the power vested in every member OF
the board. The society will meet some day
next week to talk it over. The promoters
refuse to divulge their plans. but the mem
bers believe that they can prevent the
health authorities from further trespassing
upon their privileges. and they intend TO
resist further attempts that are made to
dictate the style.
Those inexperienced men said one of
the members, they tell us how our gowns
shall be cut. Ridiculous. indeed
1t should be explained that DR.. Lindsey
opposes the long dresses-not that the
trails are alone the cause of the reapng
Of microbes. The crusade is directed more
against the manner in which the women
handled the trails.
Now said Dr. Lindsey" a year ago
they had one way of holding the trail
which was very satisfactory indeed and
against which nothing could be said. They
held the trails so that their dresses did
not pick up the microbes. This year it's
a new fad entirely. They gather up the
dress so that the trail swings around on
the side and away they go sweeping the
walks, making almost as complete work
as though a broom had been swept over
the pavements. Out of doors there is COM
paratively no danger, but those garments
are taken into a room. the collection OF
street filth dries and is scattered about the
room, with serious results likely 10 fol-
