RNDERwEAR this winter is little
different in shape from that of
other years, but the use of laces,

sweet femininity. From the finest Of inn

sort of trimming is used as a matter of
course, and there is every indication that
the craze for trimmings will continue OF

"A woman who does not understand
dressmaking at all may come here time
after time to finish a garment, and she
will be directed how to proceed; but she
must be able to do good plain sewing
and know how to run a sewing machine
for herself.
"A session or meeting lasts four hours,
either in the morning or the afternoon
and we do not allow more than ten women
to attend q session, or any woman to
have more than one garment cut and
fitted during that time.
"A member is entitled to attend ten
sessions. She may arrange for one each
week or each month, for two a week.
or she may come ten days in succession,
as she chooses, so long as those meetings
have not already been spoken for by their
full number of workers.

sewer but who lives in a boarding house
and has no sewing machine of her own,

HAS TeIldllleu lOI HNSHlCdBO GIl-
lH gineer to perform one OF the
I6l = strangest engineering feats yet
fdaR1eN witnessed at Niagara, where
t9sXs strange creations of engineers
have come to be looked upon as a matter
OF course. The Canadian city OF Niagara
Falls. Ont. operates It's own water plant.
and it has experienced great difficulty in
getting enough water at its intake to supply
the pumps This intake is in Victoria park,
where the big power development Is under
way, and the work on all sides has been
very extensive. The Niagara Falls Park
and River Railway company, which de-
velops its own power also depends upon
the water works intake for its supply OF
water. and this company also made com
plant to the commissioners Of Victoria
park that the construction for power de-
velopment has lowered the water at the
joint intake.
While the park commissioners, who gave
a hearing on the subject, did not feel thar
the compliments had proved their case.
they decided to AFFORD relief and remedy
the trouble. If possible. For this reason
they consulted Isham Randolph, consulting
engineer of the Chicago Drainage canal,
who had acted on several occasions as con
sultng engineer for the park commission
ers.
Mr.. Randolph considered the situatior.
and then proposed remarkable plan. a
plan that has excited great interest at Nj
agara. He suggested that the park commits
sioners erect a concrete column the
shore Of the river at the intake, and then
tip 1t over so as to form a dam. The coud-
missioners have acted on his advice and
the concrete column has been erected. IL
is nifty feet high, and stands on trestle
twenty feet high. II is square, seven feet
four inches on each side. Through the cen
ter Of IT runs a great heavy chain, the pur-
pose OF which is TO hold the six blocks OF
concrete together, when the column is
broken as il falls by wooden wedges
placed in one side about eight feet apart
These wedges are twelve inches thick on
the outside and taper 20 six inches toward
the center OF the column. The chain weighs
fully SOO pounds, and IL will be strong
enough to hold the blocks against the cur
rent as the water is sucked over the great
f-orseshGe fan. foI the site OF the work 10
only about 600 feet above the awful brink Of
the precpice.
This wonderful concrete column was
built In wooden frame, with scaffolding
around il at various stages as its height
grew. Its approximate weight is about 9Oo
tons. but II Is planned 20 tip II easily by
means Of Jacks that will work under tim
bers az the base Of the trestle When Il

order that ice may be hoated on from the

superintendent of the territorial prison

by the appointment of Col. Jerry Mil

Jerry Millay is one of the pioneers of
the territory and arrived in Phoenix in
1882 when there was but one brick house
in that city; the capital of the territory
was then at Prescott. During the adj
ministration of President Arthur he
served as assistant United States at

two years as district attorney of Mari
