LONGEST TROLLEY ON EARTH.
Syndicate at Cleveland That Controls
One Thousand Miles of
Track,

The greatest trolley railroad project
yet undertaken in this country is that
which is backed by the syndicate head
ed by Henry A. Everett and Edward
W. Moore, of Cleveland, o. This syn
dictate, says the Chicago Record Her
aid, now owns and controls practically
all the electric railroads between War
'en, o., and Port Huron, Mich. EN-
bracing about 900 miles of track in a
territory that has population of APP
proNimately 100000. The only lines
not controlled by the Everett-Moore
people are those of the Cleveland City
Railway company and the Cleveland,
Elyria 4 Western, whose roads run
westward from this city.
A new road is being built from To-
ledo north to Monroe, Mich, from
which place line to Detroit was pur-
chased. Next the road running north
west from Detroit to Pontiac was pur-
chased, and then the Rapid railroad,
running from Detroit to Mount
Clemens and Port Huron, was taken
in. Next the Cleveland & Eastern and
the Cleveland q Chagrin Falls road.

An idea of the financial scope of this
project may be gained from the fol-

MERRY GO-RoUND TAvERNs.
e.eir Dumbwaiters Are a Source, of
Surprise to Guests from
the North

The merry-go-round tavern, while
rot novelty to the natives of the
mountain districts of North Carolina
and Tennessee" said New York trav-
cling man, according to the New York
Sun, lis apt to strike the stranger as
startling feature of the domestic
! economy of those interesting terri
torial divisions. The name of merry
| go-round was given to this style of hos
ltelry by a northern drummer-up Of
rade, and it is appropriate. The NOM
enclature is due to the arrangement
of the dining table. This is usually a
table that will seat eight persons COM
fortably, and upon it, with it's base in
the center of the table, is constructed
circular contrivaEce with number
of divisions, like pigeon holes in desk,
except that they are not inc!osed on
top and are many times larger than
the ordinary pigeon-hole.
The continuance is set on a pivot
SO that it can revolve, and is of dimen-
sions to correspond with the size of
the table, bove which it rises to suf-
fcient height to be within easy reach
Of the diners. In the compartments
are placed the different meats, vege-
! tables and other dishes Of which the
neal is to consist. The guest seated
at the table turns with his hand the
merrygo-round until the dish that
suits his taste or that he is seeking
comes round to him and he helps him
self. AS some one is wanting some
thing from this novel dumb
waiter continuously during a meal, it
is kept in pretty steady revolution, and
as the merry-go-round is usually in
need of lubrica ton at it's pivotal point,
the accompaniment of sound it fur
nishes diners is not such as to excite
them to merriment, no matter what
their opinion of the self-waiting able
may be in that respect,
1.-THE first time l stopped at one of
these merry-go-round hostelries | was
the only one at the table, l had never
seen or heard of the revolving dumb
waiter style of service, and when sal
! down and saw that contrivance on the
table | wondered, but supposed it was
|
who waited on the table, I sat still,
waiting for that person to come and
ask me what l would have, but no one
came. l was on the point of rapping
on the table to call some one, when the
landlord, himself, probably not hearing
any commotion at the table, came in.
| He looked at me in surprise.
"'Cain't yo' eat, subj he asked.
eyes, l can eat replied, if some
one will serve me with victuals?'
"The landlord looked more surprised
ihan ever, and exclaimed,
"'Why, jieketty! CANT yo' pull the
eatin' case2'
"And he gave the contrivanee whir,
Then l saw it all, and wandered It my
stupidity. One of those merry-go-
round taverns is worth going miles to
see-particularly as the contents of
he 'eatin' case are always plentiful and
good"

AN ARROGANT CASHIER,
He Snubbed Belinda and Must Have
Found His Days Cash
Little Short,

Belinda had an experiene the other
day. She had read with some skep-
ticism many times of it having hap.
pened to other people, but now that
it has befallen herself, says the Bal
timore News, she is satisfied that
men are, indeed, blockheads.
1t was this way: While Belinda
was in New York this summer she
stopped for luncheon one day when
she was shopping at modest but
popular downtown restaurant. The
dishes she ordered were very well
cooked. and it was in high good hui
NOR, therefore, that she went up to
the desk to pay her bill of 95 cents
1t was very busy hour and about
ten people were in line before the
cashier when Belinda Joined the pros
cession. By the time she reached the
severe and intellectual young man
who made change for the establish
ment a long string of people were
following, SO the heroine of this
story, who prides herself upon being
businesslike, put the check the walt
er had given her and a five-dolar bill
through the pigeon-hole in the rail-
ing of the desk.
The severe young man, with a care
fully distracted air, as though he
had counted money for Sunday
school all his life and didn't have to
pay attention, gave her in change
$3.50 gold piece, two silver dollars, o
25-eent and two ten-eent pieces.
Belinda gasped.
"Why, how much have you given
me?" she asked,
"Yqur change is all right, mad
ame," said the severe young man,
coldly. "Please move away from the
window and don't keep the line wait
ing"
''But what is that gold coin worth ?"
persisted Reiinda, who is more IA
miliar with the coin of the realm
done in silver than in the yellow
metal.
Il have no time to waste telling
You the value of each piece of money
I'Ye given you," said the severe
young man, in his most arrogant
manner, "You'll have TO take my
word that your change is right until
you have an hour or so of leisure to
count II in. Please move on"
Belinda, feeling very snubbed,
moved ON. She went out on the pave
ment and reckoned that her cash ac.
count was just 90 cents to the good.
Then she weRt into a neighboring
shop, where, by the happiest coinci-
dence, lovely shirt waists were sell
ing for 80 cents, and before her con-
science could rebuke her bought one
with the money she had saved and
then went placidiy back TO the hotel.

rieties. So it is that the trend of
the times is for furs, and the mer-
chants, not only in New York, but,
Judging from the heavy business
done by the wholesale houses during
the summer and fall, in the smaller
cities and towns throughout the
country as well.
To assist in creating demand for
new furs on the part of the rich the
merchants have not overlooked the
important detail of change i'll
styles. The new models show,
among other things, decided change
in sleeves, and the change is an en-
largement rather than a decrease.
This makes it practically impossible
to work ever the old garments and
makes the purchase of new ones al
most necessary. That the demand
for these new garments will be heavy
as evidenced from the amount of furs
being purchased by the secondhand
dealers of the city. These men re-
port an unusual business, and SO
great have they found the supply of
purchasable secondhand garments
that they have reduced the scale of
prices they are willing to pay. One
lady said to me a day or two ago
in talking of this that she had found
the dealers paying such very small
prices that she believed it better
economy to give her old furs TO her
maid than to sell them" / appre-
ciated her economy better from the
fact that she had told me not "A half
hour before that servants We're be-
ginning to demand outrageous
wages; that her maid had asked for
an increase which she did not like
to grant" The furs would probably
take the place of the increase in
wages.
But to return to the change In
styles again. The fur coat collar de-
manded by fashion is of the high
Medici order, though it is not al
ways seen, some of them having in
stead a deep sailor collar, which is
much more becoming to some peo-
pie. The collars are decorated with
lining of panne velvet or covered
with lace applique.
Nelvets will replace furs to some
extent, just as they al last winter.
Velvet coats promise to have GER

present time. The more expensive
ones are fur trimmed with such furs
as ermine, sable, chinchilla and black
marten, and when so trimmed are by
no means a saving in expense over
the more popular fur coats and
jackets.
Among the smaller fur garments
are the boas of fox, stone marten,
sable and the beautiful black lynx.
beaver, black marten, Persian lamb
with marten, otter and sealsllin.
Muffs, too, are fashionable again this
winter. Some of them are shown
with fancy designs, but the most
popular ones promise to be the bar
rel-shaped and plain muffs. These
range from % to &c inches.
To give q better idea of the use
of velvet as winter coat material
/ will describe one ! saw in a Broad
way store day or two ago. 1t was
full-length garment of black vel=
vet, made with loose sack front
and back. 1t has high Medici col
lar, and broad revers that cover the
entire front, and extend almost to
the waist line. These are of stone
marten.
To go now to the fur garments /
will describe a novelty that is de-
cidedly chic. 1t is a three-quarter-
length coat of chinchilla, made with
a rolling Medici collar of the chin
chilla and wide revers of a. cream
velvet and lace applique. Bishop
sleeves in very narrow cuffs of velvet
applique and lace. The muff made
to match this coat is of chinchilla,
with circular ruffle of fur, and full
ruffie of cream lace underneath at
either end.
But it is the smart jackets and
small coats that will be the really
popular garments with all classes.

A of them. But the merchants
of New York do not wait until
garment is actually needed before
displaying it. The thought of them
is sufficient excuse for their dis
playal, and as a result the stores
are rapidly filling with the new win
ter models in jackets, coats, collars
and in fact every form of fur gar
ment that wealthy femininity may
call for.
The coming season may be called
a season of furs. The really wealthy
woman will not wear more furs than
she has usually worn-that would be
impossible if she is to remain in
style, which of course she will, but
there will be more women wearing
furs than have previously worn
them. Women of the great middle
class; women whose husbands are
but salaried employees of the fash
ionable millionaires, will this year
indulge in fur garments. The rea-
son assigned for this is the present
reign of prosperity. The middle
classes are better prepared for the
purchase of life's luXuries this year
than they have been for number
of years, and they are spending their
money.
For this reason we find an unusual
ly large display of the comparative
ly cheaper grades in furs, such as
black marten, fox and astrakhan,
and the demand is, of course, for the
smaller garments, such as jackets,
collars and muffs.
But this demand for furs on the
part of the middle classes has but
increased the demand for the better
qualities on the part of the wealthy
women of fashion. With the en-
ploye's wife and daughters wearing
marten, fox, astrakhan or beaver
