the Armour Packing company will soon

The Secret of Beauty.

well known French writer once
preached in all seriousness the maxim
that it is the first duty of women to
look beautiful But though he does
not state his meaning clearly it is evil
dent that he considers beauty of ex-
preston more important than that of
mere feature. As the years roll by we
cannot expect nor can we even wish.
if we are sensible women, TO retain the
radiant beauty of youth On the other
hand the pleasant expression that de-
notes a sweet disposition will gradually
glorify the plainest face 1t is within
the power of the middle-aged matron,
with the added dignity that only years
can bring, to possess beauty and
power of fascination that equals, or
even surpasses, that Of her vanished
youth. 1t is now recognized that every
age has a beauty Of its own. and it is
no longer considered necessary in the
age of sere and yellow leaf to hide
pretty silver gray locks under those
monstrosities called mob caps. or to dis
tort the still graceful outlines of the
matronIy figure in that shapeless gar
ment dignified by the name of the

AFTER MEXICAN CENTRAL.
Seems to Be Fight on for Possession
of the Road.

New York. Aug. There are indica-
tions here of a contest for the control of
the Mexican Central railway. Gould
and Hartman interests are believed to
be DESTROYS of purchasing this property.
and Wall street places credence in a
report that George ]. Gould has ac-
quired about 10000 shares which were
held by w. L Stow just prior TO the
suspension of w. L. Stow & Co. Mr..
Stow has resigned as a director of the
Mexican Central company.
About $4,000 shares of Mexican Cen
trail stock have changed hands within
the last few days. The controlling
stakeholder is H. Clay Pierce. of st.
Louis. and some of his associates here
declare that he has no intention of
parting with his stock Mr.. Pierce has
heretofore been supported in his control
by St Louis capitalists, by F. H. Prince
of Boston, and a few wealthy Mexicans.
A report is current that some of the
Mexican stockholders are willing to
sell their shares to Gould and Hartman
interests. The amount of capital stock
of the Mexican Central now outstand-
ing is S47. 9S2, 100. This road is steadily
increasing in earning power, and the
st. Louis men who now control it have
great faith in its future

BEGs FOR CARS.
Pennsylvania Trying to Prevent
Shortage in Its Euuipment.

General Manager Atterbury of the
Pennsylvania lines has appealed to con-
signees to promptly release cars at des-
tination in order to prevent the threat
ened shortage. Mr.. Atterbury's circular,
addressed to cOnsignees of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington, Northern Central rail-
way and West Jersey and Seashore, is
as follows:
I'VE are experiencing considerable
difficulty in furnishing our shippers
promptly with the necessary cars to
meet their requirements, due very large
ly to the fact that our equipment is de-
layed under load at destination to such
an extent as to materially reduce the
supply of empty cars available. Every
day we can save in the release of cars
at destination materially aids us in
furnishing a proper supply of empty
cars. I respectfully ask your co-opera-
ton in this matter. which cannot help
but be to our mutual interest. In case
of developments of any class of ma
terial. if you will communicate with
agents in regard thereto, every effort
will be made to control them in accord
ance with your necessities.

MAY BUY IT.
Rock Island Dickering for a Road
Which It Now Leases.

New York, Aug. 1T was reported
that negotia tons were on for the sale
by Hooley & Co. and w. L Stow & Co.
of the Des Moines & Fort Dodge rail-
road to the Rock Island. The Rock
Island now leases this road, but the
lease expires January 1, 1905. 1t haa
been alleged by stockholders that i'm
proper routing of freight robs the COM
mon stock of its share in the earnings.
and it was proposed by the brokers to
run the road themselves when the
lease expired. 1t is understood they
would now be willing to part with the
property. A director of the Rock Is
land system denied the report very
fatty. but the same man had denied
the Rock Islands purchase of Frisco
stock only a day before that deal was
completed, and Wall street therefore
was inclined to think that possibly he
did not know. It is known that the
Hooley interests, when they secured
control of the Fort Dodge expected to
sell the road to the Rock Island but
failed to bring about such a sale.

DETAILS OF THE PLAN.
Canadian Government Will Take a
Chance at the Railroad Business.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 1.-Sir Wilfrid
Laurier announced in parliament today
the details of the contract between the
Grand Trunk Pacific and the govern
ment for the building of a national
transcontinental railway The road will
stretch from Moncton. N B., to Port
Simpson on the Pacific ocean, a dis
lance of $500 miles.
The government will build with pub
lie moneys the line from MonctOn to
Winnipeg, and lease the line to the
company for fifty years. For seven
years the lease will be free, the company
paying operating expenses. The next
three years the company will pay over
all net earnings. For the remainder Of
the life of the lease the company will
pay the government per cent on the
gross cost of the section. The govern
ment will supervise the building of the
line, but the company probably will do
the work.
From Winnipeg to the Pacific the
company must build the line within
seven years. The government will guar
antee IS per cent of the cost OF con-
structon up to $4,000 a mile on the
prairie section and $50, 900 a mile on the
mountain section. The government will
hold a first mortgage on the line be-
tween Winnipeg and the Pacific as Sc
curtty Of its guarantee and the Grand
Trunk railway will guarantee the bonds
of the Grand Trunk Pacific for Its pro-
portion of the cost of the section The
company will have running privileges
over the Intercolonial. All companies
win have running privileges between
Moncton and Winnipeg subject to the
company's terms. Unrouted traffic il
II e winter must go to st. John and Hal
tax at Portland rates
The company must deposit in sixty
lays 900 as security for the full
fillment Of the contract. The money viii
be released for the building Of the fna
section.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke at length ir
explanation of the project. He said the
road would be built through the MARI
time province, that Canadian port
might be opened on the seaboard to rem.
der Canada Independent should the
United States at any time stop the
bonding privileges. The best way, SAID
the premier, to remain friendly with the
United States is to be independent com.
mercially.

but those of mature age require the
most careful setting.
All the soft clinging materials, such
as crepe de chine linen de sole and
wolfe, are particularly becoming to the
matronly figure. The pretty pelerineS
or capes, now so fashionable, seem in
vented for the especial benefit of the
middle-aged, provided they are chosen
to suit the age of the wearer. 1 saw
recently a charming dress of black
wolfe made for an elderly lady. The
skirt was tucked at the hips and the
bodice was pleated and brought down
into point at the back. The front was
made very prettily with the addition of
cape of white lace, with stole fronts
to give it grace. Another pretty idea
is to have the lace drawn across the
shoulders rather like the early Victo-
rian idea. and fastened in front like a
fichu. l wish that more matrons that
are inclined to embonpoint would re-
alize that in order to decrease the ap-
pearance of stoutness, all the lines of
lace or whatever trimming is used
should run downwards only.-London

COULD GET NO RAILS.
Canadian Constructor Obliged to
Place His Order in GERMANY.

A Canadian railroad builder having a
government subsidy for the completion
of thirty miles of road within months
went to New York last week to secure
his rails. He judged from the tone of
the stock market and the prices of steel
shares that he might get a good bar
gain He not only found that he could
get no rails at a discount from the
stated price of $2S per ton. but that he
could get no deliveries this calendar
year because everything was engaged.
He was willing to pay $50 per ton. de-

not place the order. The nearest de-
livery that was offered to him upon any
rail account was June 1904. He accord
