And there is still another way of
making the skirt and petticoat gown.

breadth with little ruffles running from

The Skirt and Petticoat Style.
There is a style of tea gown which
has the dressy look of handsome
robe OF the Elizabethan days and
again of the 1910 days. There is the
bodice with its long train, while in the
front there is a petticoat, beneath
which her little slippered feet peep
out.
The gown and petticoat style is one
which appeals to woman who enjoy
picturesque dressing. And it is a style
which can be adapted to gowns for
either day or evening. though 1t Is
more appropriate to day gowns. The
petticoat is, of course, pettic1at only

BIG HOLOCAUST OF MULES.
Costly Result Of Tuesday Mornings
Fire at the National stock
Yards, East st. Louis.

St. Louis, May 24.-Between 400 and
500 mules were burned to death IN the
fire which destroyed the sales stables
of Maxwell & Crouch and Sparks
Bros. at the National stockyards in
East st. Louis early Tuesday morning.
A hundred that were turned out OF
one of the stables and driven q block
away, stampeded. knocking down sew
eral of those who were trying to keep
them out of danger. and ran back into
the flames and were destroyed. Two
thousand mules were turned out II
ranged over the country adjacent to
East st. Louis, pursued by hOrsemen
who are trying to round them up
A fire wall helped check the fire,
which for a time threatened to sweep
away all the stables of the horse and
mule market and menace the National
hotel and the plant of Nelson Morris &
Co. and the buildings along St. Clair
venue
The loss on the buildings owned by
the stockyards company is about $780,
300. The estimated value of the mules
was from $50 to 5000 apiece, and some
Of them more. The loss on them is
placed at above $50, 900. In addition,
about $1,000 worth of feed was de-
stroyed. The losses are said to be all
covered by insurance.

THE NEW TnEBEs BRIDGE
splendidiy Locnted, with Bluns -
Both sides Of the River, Obvi.
ating Long Approaches.

Thebes, Ill.,, May 27.-The Thebes
bridge over the Mississippi, forming .
new gateway for commerce and traffic
with the south and great southwest,
which was formally opened Thursday,
Is a magnificent structure of double
track width and, owing to its prom-
inent location, presents a most impos-
ing appearance. It's location is a par
ticularly fortunate one, because of the
high bluffs on each side of the river.
which obviated the necessity of long
approach trestles. The bridge proper
consists of a continuous steel structure
Of five spans built on the cantilever
system and weighs $4,000, 900 pounds.
The central or channel span is Gl7 feet
long, each of the other spans being
about 521 feet long. The approaches
to the bridge are of concrete, made OF
Portland cement, as are also the piers
upon which the spans and arches rest,
and this concrete, of which nearly one
million cubic feet were used, consti-
tutes the chief popularity of the bridge.
Except the face stones Of the piers,
which are of bun Romona Oelitic stone,
diu Tue DTlQRe seats ana nose stones
for the upstream cutwater, which are
granite, there is no solid stone work
in the entire structure.
The steel bridge is approached at
both end by a series of concrete
arches. The total length of the bridge
proper, including the concrete ap-
proaches, is 3,S17 feet, and the total
length of the entire double-track con-
struction, including grade approaches,
is AZ miles. The total height of the
bridge. from the bottom Of the lowest
foundation to the top of the highest
point on the superstructure, is pa
feet.
The site of the 'rhebes bridge for
many years has been considered the
most advantageous location for a
bridge at any point on the Mississippi
south of st. Louis.
Ground was broken for the bridge
on July s, 1902, and the first train
passed Ove it on April Is of this
year. The cost of its construction
was. approximately, SO, 200, 600.
