CUTTING IN ON TRADE.

Paris, Nov. 15.-German competi-
tion with the Paris dressmakers has
assumed such proportions as to threat
en- ruin to the Partisan monopoly and
its enormous profits. Representatives
of German houses have lately acquired
the habit of coming to Paris to buy
the latest models and returning to
Berlin to copy them more or less
faithfully in inferior material and
sell the latest "Paris creations at
less than half price. AS they are at
no expense for artists modes and as
dress materials are far cheaper in
Germany than here the Berlin houses
are about to offer a costume costing
Sl20 for $50. limitations are sold by
the hundred by German dressmakers
and other foreigners. When the Ger
mans can not get models in time to
reproduce them they buy half dozen
original "Paris creations. - run over
London, show them to English dress
makers and promise fac SMILES at a
great reduction from the Paris prices.
A dress which cost in the French cap
ital $3.50 was offered by German deal
er at $50 and $120 mantle for $50.
This causes severe loss to the Paris
houses, as the English firms refuse to
pay S12O to French house month
after German dealer has delivered
the same for $50.
Twenty years ago the notion of GO
ing to Berlin for the latest fashion
would have made American and Eng
lish buyers smile. Today New York
and London houses buy 500. 600 worth
of ''Parisan creations, made in
Germany" for every 50. 600 worth of
authentic Pari san models they buy in
the French capital. The worst fea-
ture of the trade is that the German
houses initiate the trade marks of the
French houses and sell as having
come from Paris materials which have
never been out of Germany.

WILD RIDE
ON RUNAWAY
TRAIN.

The following account of run
station of Malta, near Leadville, is
the absorbing topic among railway
men in this city today. The account
is taken from the Herald Democrat
and is thrilling reading. Conductor
Robert Carroll jumped from run
away train one mile east of Malta
last night. The train was going at
the rate of seventy: five miles an hour.
Carroll got up from among the rocks
dicked up the wreck of his lantern,
brushed the dust from his clothes and
walked into Malta. He evidently
knew the soft spot. The fact that he
was not killed is little short of mir
aculous. He sustained bruised face
and slight injuries to his legs. but no
bones were broken.
Shortly after midnight last night
a ID. & R. e. freight train was switch
ing in the Leadville yards. Conduct
on the rear end of the train. The
brakeman threw the switch at the
crossing and the train started up the
grade into the yards. The train
broke into, 23 empty cars and ca
boose started down the steep grade
toward Malta.
By the time the G. M. crossing was
reached it had acquired considerable
speed and Brakeman Sopher gave up
hope of stopping it The grade be-
tween Malta and Leadville is about
three per cent most of the distance
and four per cent in some places
The track drops 700 feet in four
miles. The runaway covered the
four miles in less than five minutes
and when it struck westbound freight
No. 63 at Malta was going at the rate
of nearly 70 miles an hour. The
runaway left the track and crashd in
to a coal shute. The 23 cars are a
mass of shapeless iron and spllintering
wood. Aside from the slight injuries
received by Conductor Carroll not
one was hurt.
