The trainmen will not discuss the matter at present. They claim they will not make public their demands until after January 1, when they expect to receive some official notice as to what the company in'ends to do in the way of transportation. It has been rumored that the company intends to cut off all transportation after the first of the year. The trainmen say that if they are refused transportation or reduced rates over the lines on which they are employed the demand for an increase will be much higher.

Some time ago it was rumored that the Pennsylvania company intended to voluntarily increase the wages of all employes. Local officials to know nothing of the proposed increase. They claim that when the wages of the employes are to be increased the division officers are requested to send in a list of the employes and data concerning the wage scale for the past several years. So far the officials in Philadelphia have not made any such request of the Pittsburg officials. While the trainmen are figuring on an increase in wages they refuse to deny or affirm the report thar such a demand will i.e made.

According to reports circulated yes terday a ueiesation representing the Trainmen will call on W. w. Atier bury, general manager in Philadelphia, ia the near future. This, however, will not be done until he company has announced its stand regard tig the employes' transportation.

Among the several pretty modes for children's frocks the Russian and sailor blouses are first In the estimation of mothers who fashion the small wardrobes at home. These are styles that are always chic and require but a few touches to be of the latest fashion. The model sketched here has the advantage of the Russian style in being of one piece, while it suggests the free joys of youth by its sailor collar and soft tie. The sleeve shows tiny tucks at the hand instead of the usual cuff.

A belt of leather which is a mark of good style upon the small frock holds the pleats in place and gives an attractive finish. Any seasonable fabric may be used in making this dress while a contrast may be offered in tie, belt and trimming upon the collars. For a school dress, a mixed cheviot in garnet would be serviceable as would serge, or a soft worsted in a small invisible plaid. The dress is easily constructed and pleasing. For the medium size 2 3 yards of 36 inch material are needed.

PRIZE WINNING SINGERS Irish Ladies' Choir Won Many Honors In Their Country The Irish Ladies' Choir which will give one of their famous concerts at the Board of Trade, Monday evening next, for the benefit of the new St.

Patrick Cathedral fund, has won many laurels abroad. One of the reasons for the high standing of the choir, is the fact of its having won two gold and one silver medal at the Feis Ceoll. At a recent contest held at the Dublin Feis Ceoil, the Irish Ladies' Choir was awarded tne first prize, the gold medal, for excellence in choral singing. Choruses from Cork, Belfast (for years the best in Ireland), Derry, Limerick and Dublin competed. The choir under Madame Cosslett Heller's direction, with its wonderful shading and marvellous God precision of tone wa6 too strong for the others, however, and the laurels went to them.

The rival choirs showed all Celtic nature Is capable, for no sooner was the award announced than they rose cheering the victors. Madame Cosslett Heller was further honored by the invitation to conduct the choirs in masse, which she did. The prize winners of the Dublin Feis Ceoil are the singers who are booked to appear here shortly. Miss Joan Holland, contralto; Miss Madge Murphy, violinist; Miss Violet Kelly, harpiste; and Miss Janie Jellie, are among the soloists whom Madame Cosslett Heller will present to us here; a strong concert company in themselves. Marie Cahill has a new and taking "coon" song in her musical comedy, "Moonshine." Sereno E.

Payne Again Chosen to Marshal Party Forces in House Congressman Sereno E. Payne has again been chosen as the Republican leader on the floor of the house. This surprised many who thought that recent rumors of Payne's disagreement with the administration on important SERENO E. PAYNE subjects would preclude the possibility of his continuing in this very responsible post. The floor leader is practically the stage director of the whole legislative performance and no member of the party can presume to do this or that in the course of a sea sion without his permission and advice upon pain of forfeiting recognition as a loyalist.
