public accepted it as the dawning OF
a day when they would be released
from hated bondage of Charles I.
Yerkes. The uniting of the North
and West traction interests promised
to be for the betterment of the street
car service, and the advent OF the I'll
kins- Widener syndicate into the street
car operation in Chicago was well
coined from every hand. Even the
newspapers, who had been fighting
Yerkes, served to aid him by their
publicity in the Aotation of the trac-
ton stocks. No conditions could be
more suspicious.
Early in the day it was learned that
the entire issue of preferred and COM
mon stock had been underwritten;
that Chicago and New York had been
allotted $7,OO0,OOO of the preferred and
Philadelphia 100000. On the stock
exchange North Chicago and West
Chicago both moved up on the strength
of the general enthusiasm over the
Union Traction deal. No one seemed
disposed to delve very far into the in
nerworkings and inner secrets of the
traction situation. For several days
this continued, and .Yerkes' brokers
had little difficulty in supporting the
market for the short period necessary
to get Yerkes well out of cover.
1t was but month or two after the
fiotation that prices of the traction
stocks on the stock exchange began to
sag. To the public this was unaccount-
able; the insiders evidently had be-
gun to realize the untenaDle founda-
ION for the big issue of securities.

Fashions for Mademoiselle

This spring there are such pretty,
pretty things in the way Of dress for
young girls. A little frock recently
brought to our notice was of red
wolfe. 1t was made for a girl of
eight. and was all in one piece The
skirt consisted of two f1ounces, the
waist sported little vest of lace
through which were run rows of red
baby ribbon. Prim folds of the voile
edged the vest and were tucked in a
deep belt of folded ribbon.
This same small maid had an every
day frock of gray and white check
with thread of red showing here
and there: the skirt was full plated
affair, and worn with it a white flannel

sailor blouse. A dear little loose coat
of the check finished the costume and
was ornamented with gay red buttons.
The belt was of red leather.
For an older miss we present a
iaunty jacket suitable for spring and
summer. 1t is suit Jacket Of light
weight green cloth, the skirt quite
plain, depending for style on the way
it hangs. The jacket is trimmed with
bands Of stitching and embroidery of
braid and shaded silks, and is fur

A waistcoat gives the needed warmth.
Buttons will play an important part
this season, both in mademoiselle's
dress and in mothers.
Short sleeves are affected with the
fancy Etons and boleros, but there are
many wraps with the full-length
sleeve. Empire models and the box

but we would mention tnat the word
Empire includes wide variety of
STYLES. Many of the So-called EN-
pires remind of the old-fashioned
Gretchens. For the two-year-old child,
sack coats fastening on the shoulder
like the popular Russian garment, are
in favor, and these come In piques as
well as in woolens. The imported
models are beautifully embroidered
linen piques. Light cclors are ap-
proved in cloths, and white is well to
the fore also.
The darlingest little rain coats are
offered for the children, as smart and
trim as those designed for big folks.

and convicted for conspiracy to dc.

was sentenced to two years impris

He fled to Canada while out On bail,

COST OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

The Philadelphia News Bureau has
gathered some interesting figures in
connection with the cost of street
lighting in various cities. a report
recently prepared by the bureau
says:
The cost of public arc lighting in
Philadelphia has been reduced and
last year II further reduction was
made to S99 per lamp. There is,
however, free lighting given TO The
municipality which Is equivalent TO
s5.44 per lamp. anu the effect VI
which IS net rate of s94 per lamp.
A comparison of the cost OF public
arc lighting In five or the largest
cities OF the United States makes it
clear that Philadelphia enjoys a
cheaper rate than any OF these NUM-
cipalities.
