Robber Prool Mail liars.
Two new mail cars have just been built
and equipped at the Consolidated rail-
road shops in New Haven, under the di-
rection of John P. Young, general man-
ager at the our shops. These cars are dif-
ferent from anything ever built in this
country and are planned particularly to
make them as proof against train robbers
as possible. While most of the train rob
beries are transacted in the West and
South, Mr. Young does not intend that
the. new cars shall afford any temptation
to ransack the mail sacks and the mail
pigeon holes between New York and Bos-
ton, if he can help it. The marked fea-
ture in construction, is the absence of
platforms at the car ends. The car plat-
forms are usually the objective point for
mail robbers and if there are none the dan-
ger of a raid will be much decreased. The
ends of the cars are rounded, and they
will vestibule into the trains, thus cntlrc-
lv preventing anyone from gaining a
footing on the car at the ends. Each car
has steps at the end. but when the mail
clerks enter, a trap door shuts down, thus
scaling up the car emis. The hand brake
is operated by a brass wheel and the brake
is inside._

STYLES AND COLORS.
White and Pale Gray Favorite Colors.
Paaaemeaterle Trimmings.
The fondness for white continues tobe
manifested everywhere. This is not a dif-
ficult taste to indulge while warm weather
is born and wash goods prevail, but for an-
tumn and winter it is more expensive, as
white must be always immaculate, and
white cloth, crt-pon and silk need to be of-
ten rcncwrsl for ordinary wear. Gray and
white is a fashionable combination. Tailor
gowns of dust gray or beige, with a skirt
and open jacket. the latter lined with
while satin and having white rovers, are
much liked. Alpaca is most frequently
combined with white, gray “alpaca being
preferred to any other, although other col-
