ATHENA, JANUARY 5, 1906

Senator bolivar has introduced a
bill in the United States senatesdesign-
ing to simplify the railroad rate regu-
lating measures proposed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. 1t has
not been the intention of the sem
ator to introduce the measure until
after the holidays, but it was agreed
at the conference at the White House,
that it would be more effective to
have the matter referred to the senate
committee on interstate commerce at
once. The bill provides for a
thorough inspection of railway ac-
counts with view to bringing to
light those inequalities which have
crept into the business of transporta-
tion through the greed Of influential
shippers or through the pressure of
competitive conditions.

How TO Dress the Dining Table.

The fashion for a bare table top for
luncheon and breakfast still obtains.
Many housewives, to give variety, use
two long scarfs, running each way of
the table. and supplement this with a
few doilies, rather than the number
necessary when each place takes at
least FIVE, not to mention the additional
ones for the bread plate, butter, carafe,
etc.
The prevailing size for napkins is 3sx3s
for breakfast and luncheon size and
3iXI for dinner Only extremists use
and then these cannot be had in all de-
signs and command an additional price
when they may be had.
The round dining table is still fashion 5

Guilty now i'll getting circular cloths, the
correct thing to use on them, as there
was several years ago, when round tables
were first revived. These may be had in
all sizes to fit the dimensions of varying
sized tables, from two to three or even
four yards in diameter. They come with
a circular border that just outlines the
top of the table, or with an oval inner
border. so when a round table is eXtend-
ed the border will still be in its proper
position. Still another style has Il circu-
lar inner border and square outer border.
An exceedingly handsome new cloth for
a circular table is in a golden rod pattern
that has Il circular design in sparse ali
over effect about the size of the ordinary
decorative table centerpiece Then there
is Il broad band of plain damask; outside
of this is the broad band of the golden
rod design that outlines the table top,
and again this design is repeated in the
still broader band that finishes the part
that hangs over the table edge
One arrives at the conclusion after a
tour of linendOm that the French kinds
seem foremost for beauty of weave and
artistry OF pattern; the Irish for fineness
of thread and durability, and the Ger
man for everyday wear, for. while not SO
snowy white as the others, it soon grows
so from use.

masters can communicate together by
telephone, a central auxiliary rail sery-

each locomotive there is telephone
which is protected against vibration
through being fastened on springs like 81

age battery becomes exhausted IL can be
replenished with electricity produced by
the locomotive. If by mistake sema-

endangered trains nevertheless supply
each other with signals Of distress. This
system requires neither wires nor poles.
