Fashions Seen at tie Opera.

Metallic effects were particularly noticeable
at the opera on the opening night. Silver and
gold gauze, as well coiored tissues with sill
yer and gold warp. played prominent parts in
the fashioning of gowns. One of the handsom-
est was in black and silver made in princess
style, severely plain. The decolletage was
framed by garniture of silver and black passe-
menterie, cords of which fell from the shoulders
over the bare arms far as the elbows. where
they were met by long black gloves. Two black
ostrich tips were worn in the hair and gave a
pretty finishing touch TO this effective dress.
Not far from this black and silver frock was
seen another princess, of silver cloth. made so
tight that ii fitted like the sheath Of sword. 1t
devoid of any trimming broad bands
of silVerY white satin, which extended from the
waist across the shoulder and down the back,

Boston, Nov. 27.-Dexter NJ. Rogers United
States agent for the national bureau of entomol-
ogy. announced to-day the discovery Of a large
number of gypsy moths in Maine. He said that

trees in Maine is full Of grave significance in
view Of the large timber interests Of that state"
The announcement follows special investiga-
ton by the field forces of the bureau along the
roadsides and in the orchards in the southwest
ern section of the state. The insect was found
in alarming numbers in Kittery and Eliot. Mr.
Rogers said to-day that where pine trees
spruces and similar trees stripped by the
gypsy moth their death follows in a single year

special effort to locate and to wipe out all in

Demurrage a State Question.
TO the Editor Of The Journal. .nL..

10 the Editor Of The Journal. "5@f>: e.. :,
noticed an article in T h Journal
OF last Saturday, purporting to be an tn
terview with E. E. Clark, interstate com
merce commissioner, in which he saws
that the individual state legislatures
should keep hands off in respect to recip-
rocal demurrage laws and leave the cues
ton OF the car shortage problem to con-

90 the shippers Of this state any greater
service than by calling attention to the
error Of this view OF the question. Con-
sress has control over interstate traffic
solely, and, should it. pass any laws they
would benefit the interstate shippers ONLY
those shippers that are strictly Interested
in 1ntrastate shipments would suffer more
than at present, as they would be with
out any protection I'M times of scarcity. OF
empty cars and their wants would be al
most entirely ignored until those that
were protected had been fully supplied.
1t is therefore equally important that the
various states should protect their ship
pers by law. '..e.s-.>2 ~ ~ ~, :.
Another view Of this question which
has been held by some Of our best author
tiles is that demurrage is strictly a state
proposition, not being in any way a part
OF thru rate, but an entirely separate
charge accruing solely within the state,
and therefore strictly governed By state

Solving Race Problem

q
The blood spilled in the Atlanta riots
will not have been shed in vain, if the
cries Of their victims awake the better
thought Of the south to the necessity
OF moving toward the solution of the
race problem. This very result seems,
indeed, to have been attained. The best
men of Atlanta, both white and black,
are at last enlisted in the cause. They
are working out practical methods by
which, on the one hand, the whites may
be brought to a juster conception Of
the rights and the needs Of the colored
man, and by which, on the other hand,
the blacks may be inspired to raise
themselves to higher level Of useful.
ness in the community. a.t !. I
These methods involve as their guild
ing principle a spirit Of enlightened
cooperation between the races. Activi.
ties have become manifest in three
different fields Of endeavor-civi, in.
dustrial and religious. In Atlanta
there have been formed two civic
leagues, one white and one colored,
whose avowed object it is to promote
peace between the races, see that Of
Tenders Of both races are apprehended
and justice impartially administered,
and permanently to secure protection to
both white and black - On the rolls
of these cooperating leagues are the
names Of the foremost and best citi.
zens of Atlanta. They have practical
ideas and mean to work-as our voters
and civic leagues do in the north-in
practical ways. AS an Illustration may
be cited the plan Of making the colored
race feel its responsibilities by naming
colored policemen in districts given up
to the. blacks. There can be no doubt
that the colored race, like the Indians
will respond quickly to such treatment
and that order will thus be maintained
far more, easily and effectively than
now.
Industrial schools fostered by the
state and scattered thruout its territory
form another helpful plan. This, OF
ccufsc, il. a practical adoption Of the
helpful Booker T. Washington idea.
Georgia is spending a large amount Of
n,oreys5on eleven agricultural schools
