The ID. N. Corset .

One radical change which is rev
authorizing corset making that of
assuring comfort to the wearer-
has always been an essential fea-
ture of these corsets.
Light in weight, pliable to a de-
gree, these corsets cling to the fig
ure and emphasize each graceful
line. They supply the modish,
slightly high bust, straight-front
effect without giving the appear
ance of stiffness.
Their latitude of adjustment lends
charming deep sweep to the
hip line and also assures perfect
shapeliness of waist We call spe-
cial attention to new model, just
received. Made of fancy broche, in
dainty design, prettily trimmed
with lace and ribbon and finished
with drawstrings, nickeled clasps
and hose supporters at front and
sides.
Price, $500.
Another model of the same
shapely make is of fancy batiste,
with high bust straight front and
short hips, with elastics securely
attached, and provides an equally
charming corset, durable and COM
Portable.
Price, $500.

FIGHTING LIGHT MONOPOLY.
Pittsburg Republicans Using District
Lighting Statistics in Campaign.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG, Pa, November 27-Wash-
ington lighting statistics are used in the
fight against the lighting monopoly which
has Pittsburg by the throat I mis- city pays
a private concern 100000 profit annually.
and it's arc lights cost 500 per lamp.
The matter is being forced to an issue by
the republicans in their municipal cam
paign. Controller Larkin, who has been
making an exhaustive investigation of the
lighting problem in other cities, in state
ment issued today says:
Even in Washington, which pays a pref
ty stiff lighting price, compared with
other cities, the cost per annum of an arc
light is $50, or 81 a year less than Pitts
burg pays
Mr. Larkin uses Detroit statistics to show
what a municipal light plant can do for a
city in the way of economy There the
gross cost of an arc light per annum is
only 1894.

Conditions a Menace.

After a short consulta ton the commit
tee reported a resolution that provided
that conditions of street railway travel
on the line of the City and Suburban road
from Washington to Laurel have become
intolerable and indefensible through the
long-Continued failure of the railway
company to provide proper facilities for
the rapidly increasing population; that
repeated protests have failed to improve
the service and the lives of patrons are
daily endangered by the overcrowding of
the cars.
In consideration of these conditions the
representatives of the people all along the
line. in meeting assembled, declare the City
and Suburban railway system, as now con-
Quoted. to be a menace to the prosperity
and future growth of northeastern Wash
ington and the suburban towns dependent
upon IT for communication with the capital
The resolutions provide a declaration they
should like to see Investigated by Congress-
inasmuch they do not believe 1t is the
deliberate intention of that legislative body
to overlook just pleas set before it by the
people who look to it for justice and fair
treatment.
1t was further resolved that the citizens
should themselves do all in their power to
force the railway company to obey the law
which gave it being and furnish time
schedule and rolling stock adequate to the
needs of the growing and weH-paying pat
ronage.

To Ask Relief of Congress.

Mr.. Lawson, through whose efforts, in a
large measure, the meeting was arranged,
declared that every citizen concerned should
make a personal effort TO interest their
friends in Congress in the matter. He
stated that the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia would resubmit bill to
Congress this winter which would fix PEN
atty for violations of the terms of the com
pany's charter and it should be the aim of
the patrons of the road to see that this bill
became law.
Mr. Frank B. Netzerott of Berwin de-
Clared that similar resolutions should be
sent to the members of the Maryland legiS-
lature from Prince George county, and vol
unteered his services as one member of a
committee to personally present such reso-
buttons at Annapolis. He proposed that a
meeting. to be attended by representatives
from all sections affected, be held in Wash
ington during the latter part of January or
the first of February and that invitations
be extended to members of Congress, espe-
cially the members of the District commit
tees of the Senate and House, to attend He
said that an attempt would be made during
the coming session of Congress to construct
a rival electric railway in Maryland run
ming east of the present road.
Mai S. NJ. Gaines, chief of the mail and
files division of the Treasury Department,
delivered a vigorous and forcible address.
at the conclusion of which the chair put the
question on the adoption of the resolutions
submitted by the committee, and the vote
in the affirmative was unanimous.

A tortlse is an excellent weather

This curious promonltion Of the ap'
proach OF rain Is shared by many
other animals and birds, and may be
explained partially boy the fact that
while rain Is forming. the atmosphere
Is increasing In weight; but there mas
also bo some need OF moisture which
makes them aware Of It's approach. OF
some habits OF life which make then
