The Rage for Lace.

With the rage for lace increasing
every minute we are having much to
dc to keep pace with this lovely and
extravagant mode. One of the newest
wrinkles is having the fine or coarse
meshes dyed to match the dress
fabrics. An example Of this is pale
gray ere. meteor, with it's finely
tucked skirt set upon yoke of filet
lace in exactly the same shade as the
crepe. The yoke rounds prettily over
the hips. then extends down the front
in long, narrow point. The corsage
is trimmed in the same gray meshed
filet, so that not another note of color
is in evidence to break up the har-
mony Of pearl gray. Ecru gowns are
treated to the same kind of trimming
while even blue. both dark and light
displays lace incrustations to match.

Interurban and High Speed Roaos.

Interurban electric railroads lave
had an immense development in the
rich agricultural districts of the mid
die western states. 1t is often said
that electric roads check city growth
by creating suburban districts, but in
the farming regions, according to the
Railroad Gazette, they have had a still
greater effect in building up many
small centers of population. The I'm
ion Traction company OF Indiana oper-
ates 100 miles of interurban track and
81 miles of city track in the gas belt
of that state and serves a population
of $4,000. The interurban lines are
located almost entirely on private
right of way protected by fences and
cattle guards. Tests have shown that
a maximum speed of So miles an hour
may be reached and an average speed
of As miles an hour maintained. TIE
rates of fare are approximately one
cent mile. Already the interur5an
electric road handles the bulk of sub
urban and short distance inteTurhsn
passenger traffic; it carries freight.
mail, express and baggage. One of the
greatest possibilities of the interurban
road lies in the development of freight
traffic. It is well fitted for the trans
fer of farm produce and supplies for
farmers and for carrying package mer-
chandise.

w. H. sEwARD's PROPHECY.
Sons Attention Recalled to FIJI;
Fathers Words at ST. Paul.


Sons Attention Recalled to Hls
Fathers Words at ST. Paul.
Mr.. Friedrich w. Seward, who is
making brief stop at st. Paul and
Minneapolis while on his way to
Alaska, will no doubt be duly i'm
pressed with the surprising changes
which have been wrought hereabouts
since 1860, when, in company with
his father, William H. Seward, he paid
his first visit to St. Paul. The ar
rival OF the great republican states
man and leader was a great event in
the history of the frontier village. Tt
was on that occasion that Mr.. Seward
delivered memorable speech, some
sentences Of which have often been
quoted with pardonable pride BY our
cltlZens as prophetic forecasts of a.
great future for ST. Paul and the
fertile regions beyond it. The visit
OF his son, forty-two years afterwards
APPLY recalls some of these ELOQUENT
passages. Here is the place. he
said, "the central place, where tie ag-
riculture of the richest region of
North America must pour out it's
tributes to the whole world. On the
east, all along the shore of Lake Su-
perior, and west, and stretching in
one broad plane in a belt quite across
the continent, is country where
state after state is yet to rise, and
where the productions for the support
OF human society in other, old, crowd
ed states, must be brought forth"
Every worth of his resounding proph-
ecy has since come true. He made
another prediction, in which read
estate men of ST. Paul and Mime
apolis have found much comfort. It
was this: II now believe that the
ultimate seat of government on this
great continent will be found some
where within a circle or radius not
very far from the spot on which I
now stand, at the head of navigation
on the Mississippi river" This may
not also come true in it's exact literal
import, but it no doubt seemed to him
a logical deduction from the COM
mandlng geographical position OF Min
nesota.
Mr.. Frederick w. Seward aftel ward
accompanied his father to Alaska
subsequent to the acquisition of these
of Russia in North Amer
lea through treaties negotiated by Mr.
Seward as secretary of state. It was
somewhere on the Pacific coast, prob
ably San Francisco, that he made
another oft-quoted speech, in which
he prophesied that the Pacific ocean
would become the theater of vast
commerce, and that the Uniter States
would dominate it. This prediction is
also in train of rapid fulfillment. =
scenes which inspired these prophetic
as now revisited by ais
son, afford abundant proof of to
breadth and clearness of the states
foresight of William H. sez-
ard.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
