A SURVIVAL.
Fashions or Long Ago Exhibit ed In Turn
out ON Fifth Avenue.

One Of the notable figures in the after
noon parade on Fifth avenue Is to be seen
still, although she is no longer surrounded
by the brillisnt crowd Of eqnipages that
throng the thoroughfare during the fash
ionable season. Her old-fashioned, high
swung barou he, with the dignitied coach
man and footnlIn on the box, is sometimes
the only vehicle on the avenue for several
blocks, and it is certainly one OF the few
private carriages ne. n there now.
Its owner and principal occupant still
dresses in the style of the p Rod to which
her carrie &c belongs. She wears the oval,

Mr. Hibbard's installation will not be

Frisco LINES Consolidated.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. THE an
nouncenent is made for the first time
today that the consolidation of the
Frisco lines in Texas under the new act
passed by the last legislature will take
place October L. This consolidation
will be made under the name of the St.
Louis, San Francisco & Texas, and will
include the following lines: St. Louis,
San Francisco & Texas from Sherman
to the state line junction, Is miles:
Blackwell. Enid & Texas from Vernon
to Red river. II miles; Oklahoma City
& Texas railroad from Red river to
Quanah miles; Fort Worth & Rio
Grande from Fort Worth to Brady, 100
miles; Red River. Texas & Southern
from Sherman TO Fort Worth west
yards, SO miles; making a system of $50
miles
Under the old charter of the Frisco
each road was obliged to maintain sep
arate or individual offices. but the con-
solidation will do away with these. and
only one general office will be necessary
and this will be maintained in Fort
Worth from which point the business
of the various branches will be direct
ed, insofar as matters pertain to the
lines in Texas.

past masters in the study of passenger
business, make astonishing predictions
for the coming winter. They don't stop
at figuring out a small 10000 tourists as
the guests of southern California, but
declare that from 10000 to 100000 per-
sons will come west and to this section
before the winter is over. That their
figures are taken seriously is evinced in
the large preparations which both COM
panies are making to handle the winter
traffic. The railroads are making
preparations to handle from 1000 to
1.500 passengers daily; that is to say,
their trains daily passing through san
Berrardino and Cotton for Los Angeles
will be capable of carrying that num-
Der of passengers.

CITY OWN COAL MINES.
Correspondent Makes a Suggestion
for Way Out.

To the Editor Of the State Journal.
Your excellent editorial on Benefits
of Municipal Socialism in Germany,
leads me to ask why the State Journal,
so magnificently generous toward flood
sufferers. can not do more good for all
by urging the sale of coal to consumers
by the city at about cost.
You report the dealers as refusing to
supply the schools and city buildings
except upon a basis of the retail price,
which they themselves make.
The city should buy and operate coal
mines for the benefit Of it's residents,
furnishing them coal as near cost as
is possible.
The state is wiser in having secured
its own mines from which it supplies
its institutions and many Of its en-
ployes at cost.
good city in which to live is Detroit,
where the greed of the trust was check
ed by the municipality, purchasing large
quantities of coal and retailing it 10
consumers near cost. The city lost Moth
ing and its taxpayers and residents gain
ed much.
It is not Investigations of trusts we
need, 1t is prompt relief from them.
The investigation will be finished about
the time the ice season of next summer
arrives. The way to bust the trust is
for Topeka to do as Detroit did. Topeka
Is 20 miles from abundance of coal. We
pay $3.50 per ton now and are promised
higher prices when cold weather and
scarcity" can be worked.
Let the city do something more prac-
teal than fight joints. for people who
support municipality are beginning to
want something in return from it.

nection with the road at Las I4anas. N.
NJ, about fifty miles south of Albuqu-
que. The filling in of this short gap
would make a new route from the Pa
sific slope to the east and the distance
would be something like 800 or $50 miles
shorter, and the cold northern route
would be avoided in the winter. Should
this arrangement be perfected nearly
all the travel of about eight months in
the year would come over this route as
likewise the shipment of much fruit
and other like character of express and
freight.
Should such arrangements be perfect

men will in time be receiving.

we delegated to the committee the

passed on the matter, but you may
state that so far there has not been

Galveston, Tex, Sept. General
Manager Nixon, of the Santa Fe, de-

the Santa Fe intends extending the
Osawossa, 1. T., branch to Honey

dictate the necessity of this extension
in the immediate future, and no plans
have been made for the improvement.
The reported Santa Fe-Rock Island

true that the Rock Island will use the
