J.. J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railroad Com
pany, in a recent London inter-
view, said that something would
soon have to be done to meet the
growing requirements of fhe
United States in the matter of
railway facilities. Trade was
increasing by leaps and bounds
and the railroads were already
ovesworked. The American
railroad men, he said, must find
a way out of this difficulty.
More railways would have to
come to provide for the great de-
velopment which is taking place.
In many parts Of the United
States the immense resources had
hardly been tapped. Mr.. Hill
said that electricity as a motive
power was being experimental
with on American railroads and
there was no saying what it
might develop.
Recent developments have
shown that freight could be
moved as cheaply by electricity
as a motive power,if not cheaper,
as by steam. The Toledo and
Western, line running out of
Toledo and through the north
west counties of Ohio, has been
doing a large and profitable
freight business. The lines south
and west of Dayton, Ohio, are all
doing fine freight business,
and though the line from Day
ton to Cincinnati parallels the
Big Four and the G.. H. & d. the
greater part of The way, it never
theless handles the major part of
the local freight, as we'll as the
local passenger business. The
same is true also Of the line ex-
tending from Indianapolis to.
Muncie, Anderson, and Marion,
Ind, though it follows the Big
Four the larger part of the way.
Notable in this connection is
the Chicago and Aurora (Ill.)
line. Equipped with the third
rail and operated at high rate of
speed in its passenger service, its
capacity for freight is equal tc
that of any of its steam competi-
tors. The line recently project
ed from Duluth to Minneapolis,
thence through Kansas City and
on south to the Gulf, backed by
such practical railroad mag
mates as Thomas Lowery, former
Senator Washburn and others, is
to be a double track electric
road and is to handle both
freight and passengers.
The Missouri Central, which is
at present surveyed nearly 200
miles in length, will be operated
by electricity. As this line
traverses the richest farming
section in Missouri, if not in the
country, and as it will not COM
pete with any other road, its
outgoing freight business must
be something enormous. Be-
yond this, it opens up between
20 and 80 miles of the finest coal
fields west of the Alleghanies-
coal beds which have heretofore
been inaccessible to any market.
To meet these freight require
ments the projectors of the Mis-
souri, Central propose to equip
their line with power sufficient to
meet any and every demand of
both freight and passenger
service.
That the completion of this
road will mark new era in rail-
way motive power practical elec-
tricians who have made a careful
study of the requirements of the
proposed line do not question.

A war between the sexes is raging
in Bayonne City, N. ]. AT recent
meeting of the board of health in thai
town one of the commissioners intro
duced a resolution to compel all wom-
en- to wear short skirts with hens at
least six inches above the ground. The
board is considering the resolution
The women are also considering it, but
not in the same attitude exactly.
Monday they held a mass meeting
and after much excited discussion, par
ticipated in by the most prominent
women of the village, the following or
dinance was drawn up ct is hereby
enacted by the common council OF
Bayonne, N. j., that from and after
the date of this act all male persons
residing or doing business within the
corporate limits of this city shall be
required to wear trousers reaching not
lower than three inches below the
knee"
The ordinance has not yet been pass
ed, but the women of Bayonne declare
that it Will be If the board of health
passes the. skirt resolution. The health
commissioner has not all the men of
the town solidly behind him. Quite the
contrary. The city magistrate is I'M
alterably opposed to short skirts. In
fact, since this agitation has arisen he
has fined woman for holding up her
skirt SO high that her stockings show
ed. With prudish magistrate on one
side, and an interfering health COM
missioner on the other, the women
claim that they must choose between
Scylla and Charybdis.
Short skirts excite the ire of the
city magistrate and long skirts pro-
woke the wrath of the commissioner
No one seems willing to prophesy as to
the outcome Of the contest. The may
or, who might WELD an influence, is
seeking a reelection in the spring and
he dare not commit himself. But the
city magistrate does not care whether
he's reelected or not, and the health
commissioners holds an appointive Of
fee, so that he can afford to show the
courage of his convictions.

Statesman as Pickpocket.

1t is anticipated in Constantinoplg that
the appointment of Ferid Pasha to be
grand vizier will bring about the down
fall OF the sultans secretary and favor
1te, Izzet Bey, as the new grand vizier
and IZzet Bey are bitter enemies. Their
hostility to one another dates from the
time when both We're members of a club
where gambling for high stakes was
freely INDUCED in by prominent men in
ConstantinOple.
One night Ferid Pasha found that bank
notes worth $3.50 had been taken from
his overcoat pocket. and forthwith he
accused Izzet Bey Of taking them. Izzst
Beyi denied having committed the theft
a first, but on being requested to submit
to a search through his pockets, he ad-
mitted that he had taken the notes, but
declared that he had picked Ferid Pa
.sha's pocket not to steal money, but~to
seize compromising political letters.
In the interests Of the club the scandal
was hushed up at the time, but some
months later, at a sitting of the state
council, an argument between Ferid Pa
sha and Izzet Bey developed into a viO-
lent scene, in the course Of which Ferfd
Pasha denounced his opponent as a pick
pocket. The story at once became known
all over COnstantinople, and the nickname
''pickpocket' has stuck to Izzet Bey ever
since.

cUPID's EYEsIGHT.

The poets of all times have stated
That Love is blind
TO think Loves blindness overrated
l am inclined.
When first man loves he only sees
His sweetheartS charms, her power to
please.
The faults that others see with ease
He cannot find
But in the days that follow marriage
He's sure to see
The traits that he must needs dfspar-
age
So changed Is he T.
Where charms he saw in days gone by
Now only faults can he espy;
Her temper he must now decry.
Though mild she be.
And so 1 hold that Cupid's blindness
They overrate
In view Of which it is but kindness
To herewith state
a fact that's known to mortaIs bright.
Though Cupid's foresight may be Slight
There is no doubt his aftersight
Is very great.

EARLY SPRING FASHIONS.

Black gowns are again to be in high
favor. They are made in all materials,
and the variety both in texture and de-
sign in the new black goods is -numer-
GUS and charming.
rse<~
The black lace gown, with it's rich
ornamentation and pronounced ele~
gance of style, is suited to any occa-
sion, and is, therefore, the best sort
of. economy. Among the new ones the
long hanging lace sleeves and the ad-
Justment of the draped bodice give
most artistic and smart effect.
Color study is brought to fine art
these days, and many new and charm
ing shades and tone are the result An
attractive new shade is a blending of
gray and green, that shows to lovely
effect when made up in combination
with cream guipure lace and touch
of black velvet here and there.
Quantities of robe gowns for spring
and summer are now seen in the shops
those of linen being among the smart
est and most useful. More trimming
than usual is included with the mate
rial for the bodice, and the linen is in
a beautiful ''sheeny," sheer quality.
