Re Ci'CScntatiVcs Of Idaho Cities Raise
Fund of 100000 as Starter for
Building Road.
Tho communities of Lewiston.
Charleston, Asotin, Anatone and Clo-
verland have 100000 to guarantee to
any railroad corporation that will
build lines connecting these points
and this sum is in addition to fran
chises and rights Of way in and
through said cities and communities.
This was the expressed sense Of a
meeting of the members of the gem
eral committee held at the Commr-
cal club rooms this morning says
the Lewiston Teller.
This committee of representative
men was appointed as the result of
the mass meeting held in Lewiston
several days ago, and the members
representing the several districts
have since that time canvassed the
situation in their home communities
and met at this date to make their
first general report. The sum Of
$780, 900 is to be pledged as follows:
Anatone and Cloverland, 100000;
Asotin. $4,000; Charleston, $4,000;
and Lewiston 100000.
Members OF the committee from
the several districts gave it as their
opinion today, after a careful canvass
of the situation, that the amounts an
nounced could be raised and the sums
guaranteed to any company that
would build and operate electric or
other railway lines connecting the
cities named. The committee was
not disbanded but will meet again
at Asotin March 2

Famous ship-Tavern of London.

tavern became known all over the
world. 1t was while William Pitt was
leader of the ministry 120 years ago
that he introduced the custom of the
yearly gathering together at the close
of the parliamentary session the cabi-
net ministers, the judges of the higher
courts and the members of the gov.
eminent to partake of a banquet at the
Ship tavern, Greenwich, known as the
ministerial whitehall dinner It's fea-
ture was the white bait, small fish
not much more than an inch in
length, for which Greenwich is ia
nous, which is considered a great del
icacy. 1t is eaten with cayenne pep
per, lemon juice and brown bread and
butter.
The custom of the ministerial white
bait dinner at the Ship tavern was
continued regularly from the time it
was instituted by Pitt until 1880. After
that time the custom was not observed
regularly and ten years ago 1t fell into
entire disuse.

RESOLVED TO SNUB EVE.
Mrs. Intheswim Intended to Draw So.
cial Line in Heaven.

The minister had dropped in to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels to the ques-
ton Of whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presenting that
our physical beings would be perpetu-
ate6, and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady, noted for
her social exclusiveness, had not
spoken. Turning to her the minister
said: "And who would you like to meet
in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips st
really don't know" she said, but there
is one thing l do know, and that is
that shouldn't care to meet Eve. In
fact, 1 don't know that 1 would speak
to her if I did,"

that the employees who live in his
houses would need to pay no rent until
they were working full time again.
A cheer that could be heard through
out the town was his reward.
Asked to explain his action, Comp
troller Metz said:
Il felt that my employees could not
earn enough in these three days to en-
able them to live with any comfort,
and it is only just that I should aid
them until work starts in full force.
ITO begin with, factory employees
are lily paid, and. for that reason are
rarely prepared to meet adverse
conditions. In my opinion they are
the class of people most deserving of
help and encouragement.
The rents I am giving to them
amount to something like $4,000 a
month, but 1 know the cause is a
worthy one, and wish that more could
be done to help this class of people.

this is his story.
For years 1 was a coffee drinker

Besides, how could 1 safely per-

effects of coffee, l decided to stop it,
and three years ago 1 prepared some
Postum, of which I had received a
sample.
"The first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time l gave some Postum TO a friend

costume was fashioned by woman
of considerable renown as fashion
able modiste, and certainly the cos
tune does her credit, The material
used is a rich-looking green broad
cloth, a color which is almost black,
yet shows the verdure tinge. The
style is simple, the only noticeable
feature being displayed in the pointed
godet arrangement Of the jacket. 1t
is lined with burnt orange silk. These
two colors, while so very different,
have combined splendidly in this cos
tune The idea of wholly different
color for a lining is, indeed, a new
move toward more originality and less
imitation of other fine frocks.
In spite of the fact that the sleeve
of the evening bodice consists of moth
ing more than transparency of tulle,
so fine as sometimes to be hardly
noticeable, and introduced not infre-
quently in the pale, flesh color to
which the French couturiere has &C
corded such large measure of favor,
a rigid, unwritten rule ordains that it
must reach nearly to the elbow, while
the expedient of pQwdering it over
lightly with diamond dewdrops, pearls
or gems, represents pretty fancy
which is hardly likely to be super
seeded for some time to come Artificial
flowers are still worn extensively with
evening gowns, but trails and long
hanging sprays have given place to a
certain extent to great single blooms
or compact market" punches. In
cases where the gown Of tulle or ninon
is covered with an overdress, slashed
up to the waist, charming expedient
is adopted Of connecting the sides with
little bouquets of moss rosebuds, hya-
cinths and Parma violets, which take
the place of the inevitable lattice
work of ribbons, with its attendant
army of tasSels.
AS simple and dainty yoke for a
chemise as you could find is made
from two handkerchiefs. The hand
kerchiefs should not be lace-trimmed,
but may be daintily embroidered
around the plain hemstitched hem
The two handkerchiefs are used for
the yoke, front and back, and for lit
tie sleeve caps. The handkerchiefs
are cut in half, from one corner to the
other, so as to make four triangular
pieces. The cut edges of two of the
pieces are used for the tops of the
front and back yokes. This makes the
opposite corner extend into the
chemise in a point. The chemise is
cut to form a point and the hem
stitched edges of the pieces are
sewed to the chemise to form the
point. The back of the chemise i:
made in the same manner, and the Gu
edges are neatly hemmed.
The other two pieces of handker
chief are then hemmed neatly on the
