Story Differs
In UnimpoTtant Details.

Besides the statement made to Vice
President Christensen, OF the New York
Central, Warmer made another confess
sion Il Prosecuting Attorney Hunt, in
Cincinnati, after his Indictment, and
when 1t was apparent that he must re-
main IN jail.
This differs in several unimportant de-
tails from that made in New York.
He said that Cook and Mrs. Ford COM
menced their demands for money upon
the sUpposition that Warmer was
shielding the thefts Of certain officers
higher up in the Big Four company. II
the peculatiOns Of these men should be
exposed, WARMERS defalcations would
also be made public. So he bought
their silence
This addition 70 the first confession
has caused a demand in Cincinnati for
a deep and merciless probe into the ac-
counts Of ali the officers Of the COM
pany for the past fifteen years.
IF Warmer shielded others higher
up and he got away with a sum ap-
preaching 100000, what is the total
amount taken by all the thieves?' is the
question heard on all sides.

Some OF the new weaves OF silk, crepe
meteor and cachemire de sole, and
cotele. which has ribbed effect under
the satin surface, satin finished rajahs
and the heavy Imported pongees are all
TO be great favorites for the gowns and
suits this season. Many OF these are
made in the double width.
A satin finish is popular at present
for the woolens as well as for the
silks; satin prunellas end satin fin
ished broadcloths and s,rges are very
much in vogue.
Three OF the colors most in evidence
are the series of old rose shades. the
gold tones and several of the violets.
Coral red is also used when a touch
OF vivid color is needed.
The new dark pastel shades are
shown in the heavy linens. and these
are to be used a great deal for two
and three piece suits and dresses.
Colored pignees and cotton voiles are
used and among the sheer materials
there are silk warp muslins and printed
mulls. as well as dlmities in striped ef-
fects.

Folded girdles of soft silk or satin
are seen on many OF the gowns; these
are placed above the waist line and
may go entirely around. or stop on
each side of the front panel.
Gold and silver nets and laces for
yokes and collars are one of the mani
festations of the craze for metal ef-
fects that is so noticeable feature of
the fashions this year. OF course these
are never used for the linen gowns
only for those of silk or wooden mate
rials.
Gold threads and beads are some
times introduced into the silk embroid-
cries. not to predominant but simply
TO enrich the effect, aud tiny white or
Jet beads are sometimes used in the
same way.
One of the newest ideas in trimmings,
and this is entirely an invention of the
dress makers th.s year. for 1t is doubt
full If ii has ever been done before, is to
veil the metal nets and laces with col
ored chiffons and molines. often
yoke and sleeves will be constructed
of three layers Of diaphanous mate
rails the foundation net. the metal
lace. and the veil of colored chiffon.
The slashed effect is being used for
sleeves in the more elaborate costumes.
The upper portion is cut away in
places, exposing lining of tucked net.
For the present. at least. the reign
Of the short sleeve is over. and all
sleeves, whether for tailored suits,
formal costumes or lingerie blouses-
are long and tight fitting. The net
half sleeves are used a great deal. and
it may be found that these will fill the

weather
