MUST BE A UNION MAN
TO GET INSPECTORS JOB

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided 10 appoint no man as an
inspector under the safety appliance act
relating 20 railroads. unless the man Is
member OF some railway union. In
addition TO that he must have the in
dOrsement OF the chief officers OF the
union The reason given by the COM
missioners for this radical departure IS
that they seek by this means to make
the unions directly responsible for the
men they recommend.

Tawney Not Sustained.

Representative Tawuey declares that
in some buildings in the District it costs
as much as 10 cents a kilOwatt hour to
generate current Nc rlch building has
been found. and the figures in private
plants are strikingly different. The
Portland Hotel, Ebtitt House. and the
Raleigh make their own current for 25
cents. The company charges them
cents.
According TO the testimony of an eX-
pert engineer. the average modern CEN
trail station can generate electric cur
rent for less than 1 cent per kilowatt
hour. Representative Cary has some
data from station c. the Anacostia sta
ton OF the power company. This was a
small plant, much smaller than the isO-
lated plant in the average public build
ing. In July. 1900 the average output
per day in klowatt hours was .599. 2; the
average cost per day for operation
1851, and the cost per day per kilowatt
hour 16 cents.
The New Willard Hotel makes its own
current for all purposes for 1.42 cents
per lSilowatt hour.
A local newspaper plant generates its
own current for l93 cents per kloWatt
hours
At the recent national convention OF
steam engineers, one OF the chief en-
eyineers of the local power company is
alleged to have said that in any plant
with one or more fun units the average
cost Of producing electricity is less than
II cent per tdlOwatt hour.

building a miIlion-dollar plant in Gar
field Park. one of the finest IN the
world. This plant is expected 20 gen
crate current at less than ] cent a kilo-
watt hour, yet Mr.. Tawney claims it
will be 300 per cent cheaper to buy this
current from the company
1t IS rot disputed that the rate offered
by the company is a cheap and prob
ably reasonable one Representative
Cary. maintains, however. that the
Government can make its own current
much cheaper. The why and wherefore
of this Is readily seen. in the fact that
the various Government buildings do
not have to pay rent, or taxes or inter
est on money invested in building. They
do not have TO maintain an expensive
street and conduit system.
There would be no saving in floor
room. and thus in rental. should the
electric plant be taken out. because the

would have TO remain. Lastly, the cur

Made as By-Product.

During the seven months OF heating
electric current is generated as a by
product Of the heat, and costs but very
little. The exhaust steam from the cleo
tric generators heats the building en-
tirely anC satisfactorily Should the
electric plant be taken out for these
seven months, it would be necessary 10

the Government would be very nearly

ture as "A by-product. Much more cur
rent is used curing these months than
In the summer. All OF these facts are
lin the hands Of Representative Cary,
and the Appropriations Committee
Representative TaWney declares en-
phatically that the Government viii get
its power 800 per cent cheaper under
S1he proposed arrangement with the cleo
trio lighting company, by paying s cents
per kilowatt hours for a million hours,
and then % cents per kilOwatt hour
for each succeeding million, or part
thereof.
There are but few private plants in

than a fiat rs cent rate, 1t is said.
From figures in possession Of Represen-

were finishe ed off with a deep silk fringe
 With this dress the princess wore a huge black hat, with a brim so wide at the back, that it almost rested on her shoulders. It was trimmed with at least eight or ten large white ostrich plumes. rather high crown, with diamond buckle and allowed to droop grace fully over the brin. This hat came in for great deal of attention, and many were the glances of feminine en- wy that were cast at it.
 At the casino I noticed that on af- ternoon gowns gold, silver or steel trimmings were used very diScreetly. but for evening wear one saw on all sides profusion of pearls. precious stones and pail lettes of all colors, which gleamed in the gaslight with every movement of the fair wearers. Also flowers in relief-flowers made of light and silky materials, flowers in gold and silver gauge, flowers of blue, brown and green steel, in strange colors and strange forms, stiff carna- tions, giant roses and hyacinths-in fact veritable gardens of flowers. and all placed upon rare or beautiful lace or golden and silver guipure. In con- trast to this magnificence were several satin dresses cut plainly with long skirts and simply trimmed with one hand of embroidery at the foot. These were mostly worn with tucked or pleated cherhisette and large gold

have had 300 or 400 buttons as sole trimmings. They are placed at the sides of the sleeves. down each side of the bretelles. and at the foot of the skirt, while the seams were also trim med with them at intervals. Last year bretelles were fairly fashionable. This year they are seen everywh ere, and are worn with either long or short waisted gowns.
 Many of the Empire gowns in white lace or mousseline de sole, with lace motifs, which I specially noticed at the casino at Monte Carlo, were finished off with soft satin or liberty bretelles, which were hand painted in soft, ten der shades of pale blue, pink or lemon. Here noticed that soft chiffon "rayee," with satin about an inch in width, was also much in favor.
 But what particularly struck me was a charming gown worn by the Princess of Pless yesterday afternoon. It was of soft shade of cinnamon brown silk voile. The skirt was cut high in the wainst and finished at the hem with waist and finished at the hem with quite ample being composed of finely tucked mousseline de soie and tiny bands of stitched liberty satin placed diagonally. Over the shoulders anu falling to the hem of the skirt both back and front, was a sash, which was confined at the waist and allowed to drop over the shoulders in Japanese style. The ends, both back and front

or silver tissue rose as sole ornament. It Is said these gold or silver tissue roses will be much worn this coming season. On cream or white satin they are very effective while they add a a delicate note of color to a white lace or chiffon dress.
 So many different kinds of sleeve are to be met with here that it Is very diff ficult to fix on any one style as that likely to be most in fashion. Side by side with the full wide sleeve one sees sleeves that fit tightly to the arm from the shoulder to the wrist. the severe outline being relieved by pleats or tucks all the way up. Quite new sleeve Is that which is cut in one piece as the guimpe, which are prolonged with out seam or pleat or tuck to mark the beginning or the ending of the shoulder line. Not every woman will be able to wear this sleeve as 1t shows up every imperfection, and only those who possess perfect shoulders and arms should attempt it.
 I do not note any great change in hats They are all large with masses of trimmings of feathers or flowers. The only thing new seemed to me to be the fact that satin or taffetas Is no longer stretched upon wire shape, but pasted upon a form. This is an advantage, as hats composed of satin or silk stretch ed on wire are so liable to get out of shape and must be very carefully ham, dled.

accompanied by large hats of either straw or erin" loaded with flowers. It can be seen that skirts will still re- tain their soft clinging folds, but they are to be less heavily trimmed. n many cases narrow bias of velvet or braid at the hem is all that Is seen, but they are all-long or short-made up without lining, being worn over long, plainly cut underskirts trimmed with one or two frills. These under skirts have one great advantage they can be utilized for general skirts. All skirts are to be cut high in the waist, even those worn with long jackets.
 Some skirts are draped travers, and their folds (which do not in any way resemble the three small pleats in the middle of the front which Paquin launched last atuumn) are very grace full and becoming to slender women providing the material Is soft and cling ing enough.
