Written fer The Evening Star.
Only a Russell Sage in petticoats could
withstand the temptations Of this seasons
embroideries, Hamburg, nainsook or Swiss
Machine made though they may be, they
simulate handwork SO cleverly that the
faint of the factory is lifted. Viewing the
seasons offering as whole, the following
characteristics in the newest goods are to
be observed: In the more expensive pat
terms the extremes are represented by irish
crochet designs on the one hand and the
most tailored or broderie Anglais or eyelet
effects on the other; the conventional pat
terms show whirling or spiral designs; the
offerings of novelties in the way OF me
dallions, yokes, berthas, etc., have never
been so extensive as this season. Vaien-
ciennes lace edges many of the finer IN
sertions and wonderful patterns in Ram
burg galloons are seen; colored emproi-
deries appear in new combinations guar
anteed to wash.
Rroderie Anglais will be used with best
effect in combination with pfque and other
heavy wash ma terials, and 1t is seen at its
best in the serviceable Hamburg rufflngs
and insertions. 1t will also be useo 10.
petticoats, and can be bought in good
quality at $1.5O a yard, eighteen inches
in depth.
Irish crochet patterns in both nainsook
and Swiss are most allurng, and to match
the edgings and insertions come beauti-
fully shaped yoke-pieces, berthas and fan
shaped medallions for heading the inverted
pleats which will finish the foot of many
summer dresses.
For several summers we have had en-
broidered robes, but this year there will
be added the old-fashioned frock Of pique,
lawn or dimity, trimmed profusely with
embroidered ruffies. For trimming the fine
Irish lawn gown there is a decided vogue
for delicate insertions of nainsook or Swiss
edged with Valenciennes lace, or there may
be substituted galloon of the delicate
embroidery with irregular edges. The dam
effect through the use of stitches which
simulate fagoting or Tener!ffe lace.
To wear with skirts trimmed with Ham
burg or nainsook ruffles come waist pat
terms composed partly Of fine nainsook and
partly of all-over embroidery with edgings
to match. The embroidery in the waist
pattern carries the same design as the skirt
ruffing in miniature.
Pompadour ace is also initiated in the
Hamburg work, and this design will be one
of the popular novelties for summer frocks.
A very striking pattern shows a star of the
effects of the pompadour lace, and alter
mating with this is a rose depressed in the
fashion of repousse lace.
The colored embroideries for trimming
linens, chambray and zephyr cloth gowns
reproduce all the fancy work stitches in
Guiding the Russian cross stitch in red and
blue, as well as the paler pastel colors
which are features of this seasons rib
bons. Exquisite nainsook embroideries
show the pastel colors combined with white
embroidery on pure white ground and
the pale grounds are also shown, embrof-
dered in pure white. Imitation of the Rus
sian cross stitch will be particularly pop
ular for trimming tailored shirt waists.

Bill Hackney's Inscription.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The prominent part that William p Hack
ney is taking in legislative affairs has led
to the revival by the Kansas papers of the
old story of one of his investments in VIM
field. During the boom days he built e
large three-story brick business building, In
the front of which was set tablet bearing
in large letters his initials w. p H Years
afterward-after the boom had collapsed
and Mr.. Hackney had lost his property, and
while the building was almost tenantless
and deserted, he drove past the buildin9
with friend, who asked what the letters
stood for, and Mr.. Hackney answered.:
why, don't you know? They stand for

Pointed Paragraphs.

From the Chicago News.
1t Is easier to applaud than It is to win
applause.
A woman says a cloven breath indicates a
cloven hoof.
Many a man would starve If his wife
didn't keep few boarders.
A spinster says that dying an old maid is
easier than living one.
Many a man lives In the married state
who isn't permitted to think in 1t.
It's easier to begin at the top and slide
down than 1t is to begin at the bottom and
crawl up.
Lots of men who claim to be looking for
justice will find themselves behind the bars
IL they ever get it.

REpoRrED HALLWAY SALE.
Rumored That Union Pacific Has Ac-
ouired New York Central.

Union Pacific and New York Central have
been market leaders during large part OF
the month. Yesterday, however. little at
tention was paid to either on the stock ex-
change, and their prices declined with other
standard shares. A week ago enormous
transactions took place in Union Pacific In
the last hour or two of the market. accom-
panied by renewal of old rum0rs Of a
merger to New York Central.
Emphatic denials from responsible bank
ing sources have since been made of the
various reports of deals in which the Gen.
trail was to figure SO prominently, and
which were to enhance the value or the
stock SO greatly. With the denials of
merger with Union Pacific and Northwest
and other stories it became accepted that
the recent rise in New York Central mas
been due almost entirely to speculative OPP
erations. The control is now said to be
safely vested with two harmonious inter-
eStS.
A report from Baltimore from reliable
sources declared positively that the Union
Pacific interests have secured control of the
New York Central.
If the Union Pacific should secure control
of the New York Central, and Pennsylvania,
which has been friendly toward the Van
derbilt interests. should make terms with
another western road, 1T is stated the Gould
interests probably would effect some ar
rangement with one of the principal south
ions of the railroad systems in this country.
New York Central System.
The New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad Company was organized under the
laws of New York November 1, 1869, as
consolidation of'the New York Central rail-
road and the Hudson River railroad. The
old New York Central embraced properties
north and west of Albany, most of which
were independent companies consolidated
April 2, 1853. The Hudson River railroad
covered that part of the present property
extending from New York to Albany. June
8, 1903, the entire system embraced a total
mileage of 3,242.4 40 miles.
In addition to the foregoing the New
York Central has interests in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and other lines. The au-
thoriZed capitalization consists of $3.50, 0O0,-
600, of which $132, 100000 is issued and out
standing.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company was
incorporate ted under the laws of Utah on
June %, 1897, as successor to the Union Pa
cific Railway Company. The company OPP
crates an extensive system of railways ex-
tending westward from Omaha and Kansas
City to Ogden, Utah, and also, by it's con-
Oregon and Washington. In February,
1901 the Union Pacific acquired the South
ern Pacific system, operating nearly 10000
miles of railway in the Pacific and southern
Pacific states. The Union Pacific interests
also acquired in May, 1901, a large interest
in the Northern Pacific Railway Company,
and controlled that property jointly with
the so-called Morgan-Hill interests through
the Northern Securities Company.

MYsrIFYINa CASE OF DEATH.
Supposed Dead Woman Believed to Be
Alive,

CHICAGO, March pa dispatch to the
Tribune from Tell City, Ind, says:
Mrs. Susan Sulzer, who apparently
dropped dead ten days ago as she was en-
tering her home in Cannellton, and whose
body was placed in the cemetery vault two
days later, is believed by many persons to
be alive A specialist from Cincinnati has
been summoned and an investigation will
be made. During the time that the body
has been in the vault it has been watched
closely.
Several times apparent signs of life
have been detected. Since her supposed
death the wound on her head caused by
the fall has continued to bleed at inter-
walls and her face remains flushed. A few
days ago a local physician punctured one
of her fingers, bringing blood.

Longest Span Bridge.
From the Scientific American.

There is now under construction across
the st. Lawrence at Quebec a cantilever
bridge which. when completed, will contain
the longest span Of any bridge yet erected,
not even excluding the great cantilevers Of
the Forth bridge in Scotland. The structure
consists Of two approach spans of 210 feet
each, two shore arms, each 500 feet in
length. and a great central span 1900 feet
In length.
The total length Of the bridge Is 1920 feet,
and although In extreme dimensions 1t does
not compare with the Firth OF Forth bridge,
which is about one mile in total length, 1t
has the distinction OF having the longest
span in the world by ninety feet, the two
cantilevers Of the Forth bridge being each
LILO feet In length.

When Missouri Audience Laughs

From the Kansas City Times.
Theater patrons probably do not realfxa
II, but they scrape their feet when they
laugh. Manager Lehman and Agent Winch
OF the Orpheum were in the basement OF
that theater during performance recently.
when suddenly there came a rumbling noise
from above which sounded as though every.
body was leaving the auditorium.
We rushed upstairs expecting to find a
panic" said Mr.. Winch, but there was
nothing wrong at all up there. We were
at loss to understand the noise until the
stage manager told us it was made by the
people IN the audience scraping their feet
on the floor when they laughed"

WHITE BIDDERS
ON WAiLuku DITCH
BENEFIT TERRITORY

Because Of the application Of the
most modern machinery and the en-
ployment Of skilled white labor. COM
bining the greatest economy with the
utmost efficiency. the white bidders for
tunnelling on the Waikiki ditch very
much underbid japanese contractors,
es witness the following bids opened by
Manager Wells at Wailuku: j. Onishi.
$3.50. 1850; S. Honda. $95.l71.24; A. A.
Wilson, 500. 450.O6; +. H. Jordan, $780,.
1916; Cotton Bros. & Co., $S5.270.31:
l.. NJ. Whitehouse, 49,, 949.32; Wilson 4
Duggan. $6O.OO1.95.
This nature Of work encourages.
when white bidders are successful, the
coming OF skilled white labor to the
Islands and benefits the Territory In
every way.
The length of the tunnels to be con-
structed is about $4,000 feet and the
area of the cross sections is 1873 cubic
yards.
The capacity Of the new ditch will
be 100000 gallons in "a hours.
