THE TAN SHOES GOING.
They Have started ON the Decline and
Few win be Worn Hereafter

Few Will he Worn Hereafter.
The passing Of the tan shoe has be-
gun nua before another year rolls
around Il tan she will be something III
a novelty that is if the present rate
at which they are going out Of popu-
larity is any indication. 1t is an act
ual fact that not one third the num-
Der of tan shoes are being sold this
year as at the same time last year.
Not long ago the tan shoe was all the
style. and the sedate looking black
had rather aShard time to get along.
Everyone wore tan shoe, they were
worn for dress, for walking, and for
a working shoe. All classes and con-
ditions of mankind wore them, and
If a person did not possess tan shoe
he was not in style by any means. 1t
has been about five years since the
first tan shoe made its appearance.
1t received a ready sale and it was
pronounced to be the shoe, 1t
was a summer shoe, and was worn
by women as well as men. 1t came
in all shapes and sizes and seemed TO
suit everybody. When it first made
its appearance it did so at the time the
razor-toed shoe was all the style.
Some of these were so exceedingly
sharp at the toe that they received
the name of toothpicks. In length
they were about two inches longer
than the shoes worn now. Summer
by summer they increased in popular
ity, until three years ago they were
worn by everyone, except some Of the
older people who refused to take up
with the new tangled things.
Last summer there were not IS very
many OF them worn, but few tans
We're worn during the following win
ter. Towards the opening of spring a
large number of them We're put on
sale, and the shoe dealers notified the
public that If the color did not suit
the buyer, it could be easily
changed to black for twenty five
cents. The changing of tan to a
black is done by any bootblack in the
town, and some of them have a special
operation that is guaranteed to
change the color so that it can never
be detected, and never again turn to
tan.
Tans came in brown, red. russell and
yellow color. After being in exist
ence tor about two summers new
kind of an shoe made its appearance
for women. 1t was green shoe, but
it was short lived, and it did not
become very popular. Shoe dealers
claim that the tan shoe will wear
better than the black. The cause of
this is said to be the fact that the
coloring matter used has a tendency
to harden the leather 1t is also
claimed that the reason why the tan
shoe is cooler for summer wear is
that the coloring opens thr pores of
the leather The trade is now fall
ling off, and has been nothing like
II was two or three years ago, or even
last year. A peculiar feature about
the sale OF the shoes is that they are
being bought by the men, and the
sales made to women have been very
small. The tan shoe has run IT'S
course and it is only question of
time until it will be relegated to the
rear along with lot OF other
styles such as the razor toed shoe.
II is said by some shoe men that the
manufacturers did not like the shoe
because it wore too long. Very few
are being ordered by shoe dealers this
season.

STATE BIOLOGIST.
The work That Has Been Mapped Ont
For This state by the Board

The State goelogist was empowered
to employ any temporary help needed
at per diem compensation, by the
State Geological Board at Its re-or-
panization here the other day.
A new addition of the State geolo-
gical map was orderd printed after
correction Of the plate in some details
suggested by DR.. White.
The State geologist was also autho-
rized to perpare the report on coal for
publication. He was also authorized
to contract too with the director OF
the United States Geological Survey
for the preparation and publication of
the new tyDograhic map Of the State,
on a scale of one mile TO the inch, for
which the Legislature has just appro-
priated $50, 600 TO be expended within
the next two wears.
DR.. White returned via Washington
and executed the contract with dlrec-
tor Walcott of the United States Geo
logical Survey for this cooperative
map in which the government agrees
to expend $500, 600 of its funds within
the next two years ON this topographic
map.
-Four field parties will begin on this
important work in different portions
of the State elrlv in April and push
the work until the winter sets IN,
when the office work of putting the
results in shape for publication will
begin. 1t will require about six years
to map the entire State. The appro-
priation for general purposes includ-
ing all salaries. cost of publication OF
Report on Coal, office expenses, etc.,
is for this year only 50, 500 and So, 900
next year. The sum is so meager that
the State geologist requested the
commission not to grant him any sal
airy at present, since he wishes to put
all available funds into the Report on
Coal, and make it comprehensive in
every way.
He will have samples collected and
analyzed from all the principal coal
mines of the State and will do con-
siderable field work to tmbody in the
report, since publication cannot be
made until some time next year on
account of the small appropriation
for this year S work.
The State geoloigst will be able to
secure employment for two or three
good men with each of the field par
ties especially those who are exper-
fenced in the use OF levels and tran.
sits. The salary ranges from $40 to
500 per month and field expenses paid.
The applicant must fill out a blank
furnished by the, United States Geo
logical SURVEY and agree to remain
during the field season If his reviews
are accepted.
DIR. White has a supply of these ap-
plicatlon blanks and any who wishes
to consider the matter are requested
to call at his office Saturday afternoon
as the applications must be forwarded
to Washington not later than March
18th since the personnel of all the
field parties must be determined upon
during March so as to be ready for
active service the first week in April.

New York, May 23.-The Mail and

isiences have been he'd recently he
tween George j.. Gould and representa-
tiyes of the Pennsylvania railroad to
discuss plans of the for ner Tor oxtepd-
Jog the Gould lines to tidewnter. The
tennsylvania and the New York Cen

uuyed at the announcement that Mr..
Gould intends to bring his trains into
this city or some other prominent sea
board city. 81
For several days story has beeu
current that the Rockefellers invited
Mr.. Gould to accept an interest In the
Delaware, Laokawanns & Western rail
road, using it as an outlet for the
Vanish. One theory advanced today
was that Mr.. Gould would agree 10
abandon the extension OF the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie and Wabash into
pittsburg. which the Pennsylvania
desires to see beaded oil.
From sources close to Mr.. Gould
il is learned that the Pittsburg extern
sion will be rushed through. Mr..
Gould has been figuring on an import.

just as Mr.. Carnegie planned, and some
think that the persons nibbling at the

past few months have led to numet Gus
cases in the courts, have gained possess

Last winter, when the Pullens became

and the Messrs. Davis purchased 3, 600
full-grown trees, which they could re-
move at on SO and $50, 600 yearling peach
trees, which cannot be removed until
next fall. Becoming fearful for the

OROl1bNhS.
Cut up half a pound OF butter into
two pounds of sifted flour. Add three
quarters of pound Of powdered sugar,
grated nutmeg, and a teaspoonful OF
powdered cinnamon, and mix them well
together. Beat six eggs, and pour them
into the mixture. Add a Tablespoonful
of rosewater. and mix the whole into
dough. If the eggs and rosewater, are
not found sufficient to wet it, add n
very little cold water. Mix the dough
very well with knife.
Spread some -four onyour paste board;
take the dough out of the pan aud knead,
it very well. Gut 1t into small pieces,
and knead each separately. Put all the
pieces together, and knead the whole In
one lump. Roll it out into large
square sheet, about half an inch thick.
Take tagging iron, or q sharp knife,
run it along the sheet. and cut the
dough into long, narrow slips. Twist
them up in various forms. Have ready
an iron pan, with melted lard. Lay the
crullers lightly in it, aud s.y them to a
light brown, turning them with knife
and fork, SO as not TO break them, and
taking care that both sides are equally
done.
Crullers may be made in palmer
way, with the best brown sugar (roled
very fine). and without spice or rose
water.
They can be fried, or rather boiled,
in deep iron pot. They should be
done, in a large quantity of lard, and
taken out with skinner that has
holes in it, and held on the skinner till
the lard drains from them.

ERosTING FOR CAKE.

Powder very finely and sift half a
teacupful of double refined sugar, and
two Irresponsible of starch. Beat the
whites of two eggs to stiff froth, so
that you can turn the plate upside
down, without the eggs falling from it:
then stir in the sugar gradually; stir it
ten or fifteen minutes without any
cessation; then add teaspoonful OF
lemon juice; pat in sufficient rosewater
to favor IL. II you wish ito color it
pink, stir In few grains of cochineal
powder, or rose pink; IL to have it of
blue tinge, add a little of what is called
the powder blue. Lay the frosting on
a cake with knife soon after it is
taken from the oven; smooth it over,
and let ii remain in cool place till
hard. This will be sufficient to frost
one large cake.

RIDING ON .4NAYALANcHE.
