Report on RAILWAYS.

The seventeenth annual report of
the interstate commerce commission
says in part:
The preliminary income account for
the year ending June 20, 1903, shows
railway returns for 201 ,457 miles of
line. which is approximately 9S per
cent of the entire mileage in the Unit
ed States. Gross earnings for that
year amounted to $1,S9O.15O.679, or
s9.3S2 per mile of line. Operating ex-
penses aggregated $1,24S. .520.4S3. or
$6,191 per mile, leaving net earnings
of $641 $50 ,196, or s31S5 per mile. Fif-
ty-three million dollars In taxes are
not included in this statement of oper-
ating expenses. Compared with the
previous year the net earnings are
greater by some $4,000, 900 and stock
dividends are greater by nearly $10,-
100000. In 1897 the gross earnings
averaged only $6,122. and operating ex-
penses $4.1O6 per mile of line.
In discussing the Elkins law. it is
pointed out that proceedings can now
be taken against corporation. where
as the beneficiary of an Illegal trans
action formerly escaped. The report
says increased traffic would enable the
railroads to operate profitably without
advanced rates. 1t is recommended
that fixed charges for private cars be
established

A Charming Little Frock.

Guimpe dresses always are beeom-

charming effects. This one is quite
new and so eminently simple as to

guimpe of fine white lawn, but all the
simple materials used for little girls

desirable. Veilings are in vogue and

A New idea in TRIMMINGS.

The woman whose income is limited
will simply be driven to distraction
this season if she attempts to crafty
her taste for pretty trimmings. How
ever. il she is deft-fingered. she can
fashion the most beautiful trimmings
imaginable, provided she cares to do
so.
One of the newest trimmings is
called the rose. and is made of satin
baby ribbon knotted into natural look
ing roses and buds, with embroidered
green leaves between the blossoms.
The embroidered leaves are done on
a long strip of linen, cut out and but
ton-holed. When ready to put on the
gown. applique the rose leaves. and
lightly tack the roses down.
Some of the roses are made Of
mousseline instead of ribbon. which
is quite as simple and effective.
