The Woman in Trade.

The prevalence of the woman buyer is,
like many other innovations in the world Of
trade chiefly attributable to the develop
ment and immensely wide distribution of
department stores. These beehives of uni
versal supply are no longer features of the
great cities alone. Every town of any pre-
tensions throughout the length and breadth
of the country has one department store or
more, and every department is conducted
like a separate business. One establish
ment of this character in the West had
thirty-seVen buyers from its various
branches registered in New York a week

TALKS no SWITCHMEN.

L. Ames, first vice grand master OF
the Switchmen's Union of North Arneri-
ca, addressed the switchmen Of Topeka
in an open meeting held at the nall.
corner Of Sixth and Quincy street Mr..
Ames' speech was an interesting story
of what the organization is doing la
this country, Canada and Mexico for
the switchmen and their families. AL
though a simple narration Of some i'm
cidents in his experience as a grand
lodge officer, the speech was at once the
most forcibie presentation possible Of
the merits Of the organization.
The sWitchmen's brotherhood has be-
come a power not only as q beneficiary
order. but has gained recognition from
the great railroads of the country "Ex-
perience' is one Of the principal quail
hcations which a man seeking afhlia-
ton with the order must possess, and
through this it has gained its present
standing with the railroads.
Until a few years ago the sWitchmen
had been almost unorganized, when the
present union was instituted and since
that time it has rapidly gathered
not far from 5000.
The meeting Of last night was pre-
sided over by Edward McFadden Of the
Santa Fe and both the Santa Fe and
Rock Island were represented among
the switchmen who attended.
Mr.. Ames left early this morning for
IleavenwOrth. Thence he VIII go to
Osawatomie and from there to his home
in Detroit. He viii make the Pacific
coast later in the summer.

Ever since Topeka commenced to lay

the other way. The Topeka system of

TOPEKA PAvEMENTS HOLD.
Hot Weather Is Causing No Damage
to Brick Streets Here.

During the past few days persons liv-
ing on streets paved with brick have
seen queer capers on the part of their
paving. While the sun was beating
down with all the degrees of heat at its
command, the pavements have slowly
expanded and bulged out in the center
until. like volcanoes. the streets have
spouted bricks into the air. some times
to a height of ten feet. This unusual
phenomenon has taken place on a dozen
streets and the contractors have all
been notified to make immediate re-

When James Ramsey, the pavement
contractor, was shown this item from a
Kansas City newspaper yesterday he
said:
That's a warning to Topeka to be
content with less expensive and more

idea at Kansas City that a brick pave

be no cement between the bricks. They
should be Laid ON sand. not on concrete.
