Varyinu Waistline.

While the empire and princess mod
els with their various notifications
still hold sway, certain exclusive
French modistes show n preference for
the perfectly round waist and the nor
nal waistline. That the style is gain
ing ground here is evidenced by the
newest belts. which are not shaped
and which, almost without exception,
are just two inches in width. How
ever, this is a season Of infinite va
riety, and individual taste is largely
the criterion. So, one may designate
the waistline at any point between the
armpits and hips, where it happens to
best suit the general lines of the
figure.

A good joke is told on local ShyloclS
who were arrested and tried before the
county court last week. According to
the law whoever makes complaint against
anyone who engages in gambling is to
of the gamblers who was arrested last
week was fined 5000, which he paid.
The individual who was to have received
half OF this for "snitching" went up to
Judge Matthews the morning after the
trial to demand what was coming to him
In the meantime the Judge had turned
the fine over to the county treasurer.
Now il the person who thought he had
made piece of easy money wants the
$1,000 he will have TO go to the county
commissioners and as it is discretionary
with the board whether they pay it or
not it is very doubtful il the person who
had the gamblers arrested will receive
any reward for his work. Had he de-
manded his share of the fine before the
money was turned over to the county
treasurer, the Judge would have had to
pay him. The commissioners should
keep the $500 and spend it on some
poor pauper who needs it as the person
who thought he would have the money
to put another covering on an already
fat and heavy roll has plenty. 1t seems
that the object Of the informer in having
the gamblers pulled was not to better
the morals Of the town, but back Of the
move rested desire and ambition for
monetary gain so characteristic of the
individual who got what was coming to
him-the horse laugh.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL HEAD SAYS
Ex-PREsIDENT JUGGLED $780,
600 OF i. C.. FuNDs-cALLs HIM
TRAITOR. :.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-President ]. +.
Harahan of the Illinois Central rail
road has struck back at Stuyvesant
Fish.
In a sensational report to the stock
holders Of the railroad, backed up by
a statement from the directors Of the
railway, President Harahan makes the
following charges:
THAT Fish misappropriated and
loaned to himself on insufficient and
unmarketable securities $1,500,00O
which was paid back to the road by
Fish's friends to save him.
THAT one Of the directors of the
riman, to save Mr.. Fish as person.
Central taking Mr.. Fish's New York
home, share in the estate of Hamilton
Fish and certain securities to guaran
tee payment.
"That Fish, as president of the II
linois Central railway and as mem
Der of the executive committee of the
Trust Company of the Republic, de
posted great amounts of Illinois Cen
trail money in that company when Its
credit was seriously impaired
THAT 1t was only after months oi
effort that the Illinois Central secur
ed repayment of moneys deposited
with the trust company
THAT Fish betrayed his fellow di
rectors of the Illinois Central to gath
er proxies which he afterwards uset
In violation of his agreements.
The Harahan statement to the
stockholders was the Hartman reply
to the charges and attacks made by
ex-President Fish, and the serious
character of the accusations hurled
at Mr.. Fish by Mr.. Harahan created
sensation in the railway and finan
cial worlds.
Bares High Finance Secrets.
The letters which the directors o
the Illinois Central served on Mr.. Fisl
when they notified him they would
defeat him for the presidency explains
much that has been hidden during thu
bitter warfare between Harahan an,
Hartman and the Fish interests :
which resulted in the fist fight be
tween Mr.. Fish and Mr. Harahan dur
| ing recent directors meeting in New
! York.
Mr.. Fish, 1t is known, has beel
bending all egorts to get the proxie
of the small country stockholders an
it was the circular letter of Mr.. Fisl
to these stockholders, attacking tn
Harahan management of the road
that drew out the reply and uncoyere
