LADIES' HOME JOURNAL PATTERNS In A Class
 by Themselves.

The advantage of having the un- divided thought of the brightest minds in the fashion and pattern world concentrated on single make of patterns will be fully un- derstood by both amateur and pro- fessional dressmakers, when they realize that no less than six brands of patterns now on the market are made under one roof by the Pat tern Trust, and that about the on ly difference in them is the differ ence in labels and prices. Under such conditions there can be little individuality Without knowing why, home dressmakers are find ing this out. Is it any wonder that so many are fersaking the old and focking to the new ? The La dies Home Journal Patterns have absolutely no connection with any other pattern organization. 1Oc and 15c each. Montly "Style

MAY Be MEAT FAMINE
WAGON DRIVERS OUT

New York, Aug. 23.-Deliveries of
meat from the local packing houses
were completely halted today by the
four hundred wagon drivers who went
on a strike last evening. Not a de-
livery wagon of the wholesale butch
ers was moved during the early morn
ing hours.
1t is said that only meats from Chi
cago refrigerator trains were being
delivered and that the drivers who
handled that may be called out on a
strike later With the stoppage of de-
lievries from meat trains the city
would be quickly affected by a meat
famine.
Half a dozen strikers held up a de-
livery wagon of the New York Butch

BONDURANT TALKS OF
THE INTERURBAN ROAD

For some time past there has not
been a great deal said about the in
terurban railroad by the parties who
have matters in hand and for that
reason. perhaps. some Of our citizens
have been inclined to express the
doubt quite freely as to the road ever
beng built, while others have main
tained all along that the road would
surely materialize. From recent de-
velopments it is easy to conjecture
that something of Importance is like
ly to develop in the very near future.
sir. ]. V. Watkins returned from
Dallas last night and was seen today
by Sun man. He seemed to be very
much encouraged and said the situa-
tion, was now as good as could be, and
that he felt better over the outlook
than ever before. He gave out the
following interview as coming from
Mr. Bondurant, president of the Con-
solidated Securities Company, which
company is the fiscal agent of the
ossicana-Palestine Interurban Rail-
way Company:
There has been much unfayOrable
comment regarding the construction
of the Corsicana and Palestine inter-
urban; comment of this kind is inevi-
table always, at least until all plans
can be fully perfected and the work
gotten well under way. / think this
much can be said, however, in our
favor, that we have never named a
definite date to commence work, but
have maintained all along that it
takes time. We have been hard at
work trying to bring matters to a
stage where we were ready to make
Corsicana a proposition. Against us
there has been, and now is, an eastern
financial situation about as bad as
one can picture. After seven months
hard work, however, we have all our
plans in shape where we are ready to
commence construction work.
The Consolidated Securities Com
pany of Dallas will be fiscal agents for
the interurban road; we are now prac-
tically ready to submit a proposition
to Corsicana. and will leave 1t to the
people of Corsicana to say whether it
is fair or not. In the next thirty days
we will have made contracts and let
bids for all culvert work and bridge
material. and IL Corsicana acts on
our proposition work on the interur-
ban viii commence Immediately and
be completed within twelve months
from the day we start, barring condi-
tons @hich may come up that we can
l -C-ssltrnctE. Tor rails and
lelrStastenings have been let for over
ninety days, and a deposit has been
made to guarantee our good faith. A
contractor, Mr.. Harris, Of FL Paso,
has been engaged to do our work, and
he has 120 teams ready to ship here
any time on five days notice.

Seeing Things at Night.

Beaumont, Texas. Aug. 23.-AbOut
1890 o'clock this morning something
carrying a great light which was sup
posed to be an airship passed over
this city The object came from to-
wards the east and passed rapidly
across towards the west. steering n
little towards the south. From the
best calculations Il is supposed that
the ship was making over a hundred
miles per hour
The moon was shining brightly and
the full form OF the gas bag and the
suspended car could be plainly seen.
Nothing indicated that the ship con-
tanned a single human being.
