Demand for Cars.

Demand for Cars.
 The New Orleans Times-Democrat From all over the South there still goes up q cry for cars, and the railroad officiaIs have all but thrown up their hands in despair. They have brought from the Northern lines all available cars, and are daily putting in emergen' cy orders, but the demand is far from satisfied. There is little prospect tha' | it will be in the immediate future, for a' present the Northern lines are corral ling all the cars that they can lay hand' on to move the grain crops, which arS unusually heavy this season.
 A New Orleans railroad official stated yesterday that there had been car fam ines in past years, but they were notn. ing compared to that of this year. n. attributed this condition chiefly 10 tnt rapid growth of the lumber industry in the South. Of course. there was the
 cotton crop to be moved, but this was

 sons, while with the lumber output Il
 was different. He had been on a trir in Mississippi last week. and tarried m one town where a single sawmili was turning out an average of one trainicad of finished lumber each of the six days of the week. The greater amount of this lumber is shipped North. ai- though there is some consumption m this section and a small amount Is ex-
 ported. .i
 ''The railroads--that is, all those nav ing terminals in New Orleans are making cars where they have shops
 of their own, or are having them turn
 ed out by contract as fast as the work
 can be pushed. They are making more cars this year than In any former
 year. so it is claimed. but they are not
 able to have them delivered and ready
 for use fast enough to meet the calls from their shippers.
 There Is still another obstacle in the
 pathway of the Southern shipper, ana
 that Is the congestion that has grown epidemic among the lines at the North.
 For instance, at Cincinnati, 1t Is said, cars delivered from the South Tor
 Northern connections stand Tor days m the yards before they can be moved.

Bark Blown Up at Sea.

By the explosion of 475,0Oo gallons of
naphtha stored in her hold, the Norwegian
bark Marpesia, which sailed from New York
for Cette, France, on December o, was blown
UP at sea and eleven members of her crew
were killed The ship was total loss. News
of the accident was brought to Hamilton,
Bermuda, yesterday by the Danish steamship
Gallia, which picked up Captain Jensen and
eight survivors of his crew and landed them
at Hamilton. The Gallla left Hamburg.
Germany, for Savannah, Ga, one day be-
fore the Marpesa left New York, and came
upon the wreck in midocean. Captain Jen-
sen and the others who escaped were cling
ing to fragments of the wreck and were al
most exhausted when picked up.
The Marpesia was an iron three-masted
ship of .497 tons gross and 1853 tons net.
She was built by Reid G. Co., at Port Glas-
cow, Scotland. in 1866, and was owned by
c. Hannevig of Christiania, Norway Her

Effect on Rojestvensky's Movements
There is much discussion relative to Vice
east. 1t is rumored that his squadron may
be recalled to the Baltic to await reinforce
mentS, and proceed eastward next summer
when it will be decidedly superior in
strength to Admiral Togo's fleet; but there
Is nothing authoritative to support such a
report. The situation, so far as Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky is concerned, is not ma
terially different from the time when the
Port Arthur squadron was first defeated
1t is known that Admiral Rojestvensky had
alternative instructions when he sailed COW
ering such a contingency has now arisen
So far as known, he has no intention of
altering his plans owing to General Stoes-
sells surrender.
The situation in the immediate future
may be such as to necessitate the curtailing
of the emperors trip to the south and
cause his return to st. Petersburg; but the
report that his pilot train had been blown
up Is untrue. There have been a number
owing to blizzard prevailing in south and
central Russia during the past few days.
One train was deraied near Minsk, and
this doubtless occaSioned the rumor cabled
to the United States that revolutionists had
wrecked the train preceding the royal train.

long, and it's not bad luck to come after
the first day of the year.
Several of the prisoners discussed the
holiday season while waiting for Policeman
Morgan to serve refreshments. All agreed
that they were in the tolls because they
were victims of the treating habit.

of the party, land then SO many of us
would not get arrested during the holidays.

Chiffon cloth has few rivals, certainly no
successful ones. in. the Interpretation of
styles verglng on the elaborate. For tuck
iugs and shirrings it has no equal and the
manner in which it lends itself to graceful
designs endears it to the heart of woman
kind. 1t Is a universal favorite with the
debutante and the matron of several sea
sons. and even older ones are not barred
from it's beauty 1t is suitable for almost
any age and occasion so long as color and
style do not jar
To the slender woman chiffon cloth is a
boon and pleasure and the envy of those
who are not privileged to make use of shir-
rings and puffings and the bouffant effects

Clinging, and greatest charm of all, it is
youthful, even in dull black.
1t is one of the quaint little fads of the
