Ordinanceg prohibiting the post- ing of bills on poles and trees with- in the city limits have been disre- egarded by Detroit politicians during the campaign, it is alleged. Some of the voters have threatened to “get even” at today’s election. The statement that neither the governments of Ontario nor Ottawa has authorized the building of two high towerg on a farm near Wing- ham, Ont., is causing much alarm in that locality. The persons who constructed the towers refuse to offer any explanation. The Interstate Commerce Com- mission has officially recoznized “de- pressed market coaditions” in de- ciding a case involving grain rates from Montana to eastern destina. tions, begun by the railroad com- mission of that State against various northwestern roads. The Baltimore and Ohio has just completed its $5,000,000 eleven mlle‘ cut off between the orleans road and Cacapon, W. Va.

FASHION FETE FOR CHARITY New York, Nov. 4.—Opening to- day, three day fashion fete, with Mrs. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, and Mrs. August Belmont heading the list of patronesses, will be held in the big ball room of the Ritz Carlton. The original models of feminine finery made in New York will be shown on manikins. American modistes long have want- ed an opportunity to show that do- mestic art could be placed on a par with foreign, and this is undoubted- ly their opportunity. Heretofore the excuse of the American dressmakers has been that social leaders refused to buy anything but a French model, and that they had no incentive to create their own desizns. With the sitvation in London oand Paris as it now no new models for midsea- son or spring wear will be forthcom- ing from these cities, and the Amer- ican modistes now have the longed for opportunity to step into the lead with individnal and distinctive cre- ations. A jury of women conspic- uons socially will judze the sections —tailored suits, afternoon gowns, dinner gowns, wraps and negl’ zees. Tne proceeds of the fete are to go to the Committee of Mercy, an or- .ganization recently effected by Mrs. !J. Borden Harriman and Mayor Mitchel for the elief of women and childien made destitute by the war. Added interest is given by dancing 'at the close of the exhibition, with debutautes acting as ushers and mu- sic by the Balalaika orchestra. The enthusiastic co-operation of social leaders and American dressmakers 1and designerg which has marked the preparations for the fete makes it {sure of success. a 1 There are more railroad emploves States. than 1,600,000 in the United
