TRACTION LINE QUESTION
sHELBYVILLE & SOUTHEASTERN
COMPANY ORDINANCE.
Council Committee Yet Unable tn Pre-
pare a Rep~Ort-Other Mu-
nicipaI Affairs.

The Council committee on contracts and
franchises failed TO prepare a report last
night on the ordinance granting a fran
chise 10 the Shelbyville * Southeastern
Traction Company. Only four members of
the committee appeared-Negley. Cooper,
Wahl and Meyer-and one of these, Cooper
was against reporting favorably on the
ordinance in it's present form. The meas
ure was read and discussed at some length.
While believing that the Shelbyville line
should be permitted to enter the city on
the most favorable terms possible, Mr..
Cooper said that he is opposed to the sec
ton which provides that regular cars shall
stop at street intersections. Il think he
said, that the word regular should be
stricken out and that all cars should be
made 10 stop. If limited cars should be
run there is no more reason why they
should not stop at street crossings than any
other kind of cars. They can only go so
fast through the city, anyway, since their
speed is regulated, more or less, by the
ears of the local company that happen 20
precede them
Mr.. Cooper stated, however, that he
would not oppose the measure If the Coun-
Gil determined to pass the ordinance. The
Democratic members of the committee
pa esent-NNahl and Meyer-did not say
~httner they would sign "a report favorable

The Separate Waist.

New York Evening Post.
At all OF the city importing houses and
in the special departments of fancy dry
goods stores are now exhibited a small
world OF elegant fancy waists and simpler
shirtwaists in new and most attractive
forms. The shaping of the Gibson, blouse
fronted and yoked styles, etc, and the out
line of the sleeves prove their newness. be-
sides the fresh, crisp appearance Of the
countless fabrics and trimmings of which
they are made. Although most tailors and
modistes continue TO cry down all the va
riety Of separate waists that in so great a
measure save the expense of a number of
complete costumes and toilets, these pretty
garments still continue to flourish and un-
doubtedly gain instead OF lose favor. This
assertion is easily proved by the fact that
although high authority has pronounced
against them, at a recent display of high
class importations these very garments
formed the most charming and picturesque
featurS OF the luxurious exhibit of spring
and early summer styles. New French
waists in blouse style. models with Breton
fronts and small postillion backs, low-cut
satin shapes with lace yokes and Queen
Bess undersieeves, odd double-breasted
waists and those with fancy guimps and
elbow sleeves were shown among others of

insertion, or again white or Of tinted peau

signs in guipure of many different tints and
patterns. At the theater, at day and even
ing musicales, at dinners, 5 O'Clock teas,
church weddings, at all exclusive functions
in the ranks of fashion these costly and
ornate bOdices are noted, and the importers
ana merchants promise dainty novelties yet

and MORE models, to say nothing of the
charming negligee styles in India null, en-

a fair-sized gallery and a large number
of senators were present at the session OF
the Shortridge High School Senate yester-
day afternoon. II was election night and
the choice Of officers was very interesting,

club of eight members, raised $500 among
themselves and with that money in the

rented and a matrOn and a cook engaged.

Chicago Record-Herald
The romantic ideals Of seventy-fve "co-
eds" in a class Of anthropology at the Uni
versity OF Chicago received a rude shock at
the hands of Professor Frederick Starr yes
terday afternoon. The cynical professor
bluntly declared that the wedding ring was
a relic OF barbarism, an absolutely useless
survival of the culture of primitive people,
and every young woman in the class raised
her voice in dissent.

seventy-ive young women.

ages the sold slave was led away from the
mart by his new master" he continued,
while his audience shivered with feminine
disgust. But everyone to-day knows that
a woman, when she is given a ring to sym
bolize the wedding sacrament, is by no
means a slave" he added.

WALKED THROUGH SEWER.
Works Board Members and City En-
Gineer on a Tour.

As the result of the inspection Of the new
Afichigan-street sewer made yesterday
afternoon by the Board of Works and the
city engineer. Contractor Mansfield, who is
completing the big drain, will be ordered
to reconstruct defective sections of the
sewer. Starting i'm at State street and
Pogue's run the three members of the
board. Engineer Nelson and three assist
ants i'm the engineers office. all attired
in rubber coats and rubber boots and car
rying lanterns, walked the entire length
of the sewer, examining it's construction
as they went along. The underground trip
was more than a mile In length, and the
officials came out dirty and tired, but know
ing more about sewers than they ever knew
before.
For the most part, the members of the
board say, the sewer is not unsatisfactory,
but there are parts of il which have al
ready caved i'm or are about to do so. The
soil i'm which the drain is laid is very por-
Gus and retains water for a long time. 1t
is thought that the contractor did not give
the cement work time to harden before the
drain was covered. The great weight of
the water-laden earth gradually broke down
the brick work. Work in reconstruction
will mmen at once.
