ROCK ISLAND LINE WINS.
X C. & Colorado May Use Wabash
Terminals.

X C. & Colorado Nay Use Wabash
Terminals
St Louis, April 6-The st. Louis.
Kansas City & Colorado Railroad COM
pany. a part Of the Rock Island sys-
tenn, has q right to use all the tracks
and terminals OF the Wabash railroad
between Forest park and Union sta
ton. excepting only Wabash sidetracks
going beyond its right OF way to manu-
featuring plants. according TO a de-
cision handed down yesterday by the
United States court of appeals.
The decision defines and coustrues
a court decree made in 1856 in favor
of the Rock Island, and terminates Iiti-
CATION over the terminal privileges
which has been in the courts since
1902.
In the United States circuit court

Ark, issued a decree constituting the
earlier decree in favor of the Wabash
and holding that it only gave the Rock
Island right to use tracks on the main
line right of way, consisting principal
ly of two tracks between Forsythe
Junction and Unionsstation- This de-
cision is reversed by the court Of ap-
peals. which remands the case TO the
circuit court with instructions 70 enter
a new decree in accordance with its
decision
Judge Sanborn wrote the opinion
with Judge Adams concurFing. and
Judge Hook concurrfng in separate
opinion Judge Hook CONSTITUTES the
original decree more literally in favor
of the Rock Island than do his COL
leagues. He holds that the Rock Island
is entitled not only to use all the
tracks ard terminal equipment on the
wabash right of way. but also to the
Industrial tracks running TO manufac-
turing concerns off the railroad prop
erty- The case started in the federal
courts in 1885.

The Redinuote Again,

From Paris comes word that the
very latest fad OF the ultra-fashion.
ables is the loose.fitting, unlined red.
ingote OF mousseline, deliberately SOU
tached. This flmy garment, though
not cut full and loose, does not cling
closely to the figure. but falls in q
soft, vague outline suggesting the
lines of the figure beneath.
The soutache embroidery is very
heavy and elaborate at the bottom,
running up upon the body OF the coat
In lighter and more scattered designs,
and the neck and loose draped sleeves
are bordered in heavy design. Worn
over white summer frooks this red.
ingote, either in black or white, prom.
lses to be one Of the favorite fancies
OF the Parisians, who speak the last
word on the seasons fashions, but
the garment is too extreme and too
costly to find acceptance with any
other class.

TOUCHES OF VANITY
DECORATIVE ART AS APPLIED
TO DRESS.
Embro'deries just Now Are Popular
Work That In Many Cases Can
Be Done Very Effectively
at Home.

New embroideries hold marvellous
possibilities for the woman who does
such work skilfully herself. and at the
same time much expense can be
avoided. Fancy work shops are going
mo and more into the business OF
stamping medallions and designs for
trimming smart frocks, and for a few
experts to start the work and assert
the colors for one.
In some OF the crash linens there
are remarkable examples of the prin.
ciples of decorative art applied to
dress. The conventional designs are
outlined with macrame Irvine, or SO
called linen cord. and filled In with
sepia and silver in fiat tones. In one
very charming gown, a linen crash,
both belt and sacque are designed to
accompany the dress, which has plait-
ed skirt and a bolero, both exquisitely
embroidered In macrame. The blouse
Is Of grass linen, touched with mac
rame Irvine and dashes of red EN-.
broidery. To the toilette is added a
charming hat, also In crash. with very
effective folds to fit the crown into
the brim. Naturally a parasol accom-.
panies the costume, the linen in keep
ing with the rest and the handle in.
crusted with stones to match the belt
buckles and sacque mountings; self.
lined and interlined, trimmed and re.
trimmed and yet not overdone.
Somehow hats and ~parasols are
very closely allied to each other this
season, and frequently the same carry
out the same color scheme and the
same decorative scheme as far as the
two can be consistently associated.
Leghorn hats, with their fower.laden
brims. suggest lovely embroidered
embellishments for sunshades of silk,
lace or chiffon, and are offered as the
browning touch to the summer cos,
tune.
The fiat crown, broad brlm sailor is
n Of the most popular shapes. The
newest examples show It trimmed di.
rectly In front or at the center with
immense bows Of taffetas, the edges
stitched and stiffened with feather.
bone and the effect being that of a
huge bird poised for flight. White
tafeta is used on hats of every color,
and next TO white green seems a
strong %favorite. It is certainly the
shape for summer. and the peacock"
and parrot" greens show the most
striking examples Of the tones that
fashionable Pa~risiennes like best.
A mutual advantage is gained for
each trimming when embroidery and
yalenciennes lace are combined. The
tendency to use a combination of wide
embroidered fiouncing and narrow in
sertions Of valenclennes or Cluny lace
grows. Regular alienation of lace
and embroidery or of lace and cluster
tucks have given way to certain ir.
regular lines of trimming that have
hitherto prevailed, and look very
charming.

For Mourning Wear,

One modiste declares that women
who are In mourning are In perpetual
INDIGESTION az to what Is proper to
wear and what is not, The attraction
Of the colored gown Is undeniable.
And, after her long wearing Of black,
a woman looks forward eagerly to
putting on something more cheerful,
but there are proprieties to be OBJ
served. And 1t is here that the fine
trick of the dress artist can be noted.
For the benefit OF the woman who
has worn black for a year or more
there may be given some fashion rules
for the guidance OF her wardrobe.
One of these is that she may wear all
the gold jewelry she owns and all the
Jet. She may also rel silver, gun
metal, gold antiques and Az other or.
naments that are not set with colored
stones.
Diamonds and pearls are permissible
In all but the deepest mourning. and
for second mourning there now comes
some pretty jewelry in violet enamel.

he went on, and fancy nearly every
one has forgotten 1t by this time.
When Mr.. Carney began to build here
he located his house some 200 yards
farther down the hill toward the wa.
ter. He had a plan of running a little
tunnel from the cellar to the river so
that ashes and other refuse from the
house could be taken out that way and
not clutter up the lawns or be seen
from the windows.
Just as this work was partially
completed the old dam. some two
miles up the stream, was demolished
and a new one built about a mile be.
low. This raised the water level un.
til the far end of his tunnel was com.
pletely submerged and so he gave up
the scheme entirely and began a new
cellar quite a distance back from the
first. The partly finished tunnel and
the excavation for the original cellar
were covered over and had practically
been forgotten by everybody except the
boys, who used to dive down and swim
into the hole in the m
Then, as | say. they got the idea of

When they got to the edge of the bank
they would emit some sort of a ghost.

Finally, when all the young girls in
the neighborhood began to get hys.

and put a stop to 1t by giving two or
three OF the r~ingleaders a sound
thrashing and installing a family of
beavers In the tunnel who vigorously
attacked all future %intruders."

To Make a NiuhtlnoaIe,

The old.fashioned Nightingale Is
made Of two yards Of dainty lowered
French flannel.
Fold the flannel in half. making a
yard on each side and cut down the
central fold eight inches. Bind the
entire piece of Dannel with soft rib
bon. Turn back the points that are
formed by cutting the slit. This makes
the collar and should be held together
at the neck by a bow OF ribbon.
Ribbon ties are placed about eight
inches below the neck.
The corners catercornered TO the
neck are turned back and form the
cuffs. These are fastened together and
have bows Of ribbon on top OF each
cum.
An edging of lace around cuffs and
collar makes a pretty finish and II row
OF featherstitching around the entire
garment adds to it's attractiveness.
