STEEL CARS SAVED THEM.

Yesterday the ST. Paul railways
overland limited train. "Olympian."
was derailed in a deep cut near Java
Junction, s. ID. The entire train left
the track and three sleeping cars turn
Ell over Although several hundred
people were aboard, only one person,
the conductor. was injured. The fac,
that it was a solid steel train prevent
ed the loss of life.
Such a train. taking a crossover
switch in New Jersey last week at fif-
ty miles an hour also was completely
derailed. The engineer and fireman
were killed but not a passenger was in
jured. The cars stood the shock with
out serious damage and their occu-
pants were unharmed.
The all steel train certainly is doing
much TO reduce the perils OF railroad
travel.
accidents would probably have meant
scenes of carnage. The heavy Pull
man cars at the rear of the train would
probably have ploughed their way
through the cars Immediately in front,
telescoping them and crushing TO death
their occupants. Then fire might have
broken out and burned to death those
still living. Such things have occurred
before. But there was no such result
with the steel cars. They were nom
collapsible Their strength was such
as to resist the shock. There was no
splintered wood, no telescoping There
was no fire, for the cars were unburn-
able.
a Pittsburgh news item tells OF big
orders for steel cars being turned In
and this is an encouraging sign. Rail-
road travel has been put on a safe ba-
sis. II has always been easy to over
estimate the perils Of trains Accidents
have, in view Of the number OF trains
run, been comparatively rare, but sci
entific appliances are lessenlng what
dangers have existed and the steel cal
is one OF the factors In this.

Latest Plans for

The merchants will not keep their

week This was finally decided upon
at a special meeting held. Monday aft

to be the best plan to not keep open
except Saturday, as usual The train
service for Waterville has only two
trains east in the evening, one to Ban
ger at 7.40 and one to Skowhegan at
AS o'clock. The only evening train
west is at 1906 p. NJ, and it seemed
to be the general idea that not enough
people would remain over to do any
shopping in the evening to warrant
keeping open. .5sge

In a longer time than most women
like to remember the simple one-piece
frock for both summer and winter
wear has been a favorite with femi-
ninity. 1t is sartorial classic which
should never be absent from any
wardrobe, whether large or small So
fer Dame Fashion. in the widest OF all
her vagaries. has never succeeded IN
olsting it from consideration at the
hands of those women who. for some
one reason or another lead busy lives.
The present enthusiasm IN favor OF
this form of dress is caused by the
particularly charming models which
have appeared in not one, but In sew
eral of the shops. s
In one instance the upper part of the
gown took the form of yeritable
blouse bodice. but was redeemed from
any appearance of sloppiness by the
upper part being fitted into a shapely
little corselet affair, the fronts closing
yisibly with handsome onyx buttons
below filmy little rundown en-
broidered lawn collar.
In the case of another model, the
fronts of the waist were thrown open
with a large reyer of black MORE
which rested on simulated UNDER

parchment tinted needle run lace,

was an extraordinarily. well turned out

What to wear in the line of jewelry
with the one piece gown often troubles
a woman, for of course anything
elaborate is out of the question. the
simplicity of the dress demanding
equal simplicity of ornament.
Just the thing for dress of this
kind is a pendant or pin of jade, If one
is fortunate enough to possess a piece
of this Chinese stone. The effect of
a jade plaque slung round the throat
on a rather fine gold chain, is most
arresting when worn on a high day
dress. In fact, it is safe to say, with
out any exaggeration, that the really
we'll dressed Woman regards the Chin
est Jade plaque as an imperative asset
to her jewel case. Apart, again, from
their aesthetic charm, plaque of the
Gelicate green stone is rich with inter-
est, the delieately carved design upon
it representing in every instance
something symbolical, expressed IN
birds, fruit, animals, etc.

well with almost any color of gown, for
If the one piece froek is chosen In
