The common sense example set by
Mrs. Roosevelt in dressing within $500
a year proves her worthy to be the first
lady Of the land" said Theodore Sutro,
prominent lawyer and husband OF
one Of New York's fashionable women,
to a New York World reporter.
"The competition in expensive and
SNOWY dressing Is the bane Of Ameri-
can womanhood. 1t seems TO me that
matters of dress are about all that in
terest two-thlrds of the women Of this
country when they get together on So
cial occasions. And 1t is not only among
the rich and the fashionable women OF
society that this nuisance Of oyerdress-
Ing exists. 1t runs through all strata
OF society. | know young men who are
struggling along on moderate salaries
who are rising, but have all they can
DO TO make both ends meet and whose
greatest bill is for the clothing OF their
ornamental wives.
"There are women in Amerlca-thou-
sands Of them-who dress modestly and
H. good taste. They do not aim to at
tract attention. Their clothes are made
of fine goods and ft them well, but no
one would stop and look twice at them
on the street They do not make their
clothes outshlne the intelligence In
their faces. They ai.n TO be superior
10 their clothes. and they are.
"The example set by the wife of the
president in simple dresses is in keeping

republic. Millions of well educated but
poor women will thank her in their
hearts for daring TO acknowledge that
a woman can be well dressed on $500 q
year"

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE important report.
received from Johannesburg. that General
De Wet has crossed the Vaal and Joined
forces with the Transvaal commanders, If
true. probably means the concentration OF
seven thousand Beers with several guns,
for another big attack.
There Is a rumor current in Cape Town
that several Boer leaders are urging an
attack upon the mines. 1t has been long
understood that General De Wet has been
anxious to join the invaders in Cape
Colony and this rumor may be spread TO
cover an attempt TO break southwark.
AS an outcome of the fact that the Beers
in several instances have worn khaki, a
government notice has been promulgated
in Pretoria prohibiting civilians from
wearing khaki and notifying all persons
who wear this costume, which Is likely to
be mistaken for the British uniform, that
they will render themselves liable to ar
rest and imprisonment.
The War Office issued no fresh news
Yesterday. The response to the govern
ment's call for volunteers is said TO be
very brisk in both London and the prov
inces. Defensive measures in South Africa
proceed apace. Seven thousand men have

unique feature of kitchener's fighting

Mir. Todd,s Now Po.ition.

The announcement yesterday that Percy
Todd had been elected second vice presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Road created considerable comment,
owing to the, fact that Mr.. Todd for many
years has been connected with the Wander
bilt lines. The last ten years he had been
practically at the head of the transporta-
ton department of the West Shore Road.
When General Manager Laying retired. Mr..
Todd was given increased authority, only
President Galloway of the New York Gen.
trail, being his superior officer. In railroad
and financial circles the first impression
was that the Vanderbilt lines had secured
stock enough of the New York New Haven
& Hartford to give them a voice in the Sc
lection of officers, and that Mr.. Todd was
put there by the Vanderbilts but a rail-
way official, who is quite well informed,
states that attractive inducements caused
Mr.. Todd to sever his connection with the
Vanderbilt system, and that the New
Haven management is to be congratulated
on being able to persuade him to accept
the offer. The :.ext move of the Vanderbilt
management viii be watched with interest.
Among railroad men there is strong feel
ing that the time Is close at hand when
carry out a programme which it is under
stood has been fully decided upon This
includes a consolidation of the New York
Central and the West Shore departments
as TO traffic matters. So far as the trans
portation and engineering departments are
concerned, ii has been put into effect al

Banks's attorneys file motion for new
trial. 1t is understood a motion will be
filed this week, IL possible. and not later
than next Tuesday. If the motion is over
ruled by Judge Afford. the attorneys for
Banks announce that they will appeal the
case to the Supreme Court.
Banks carried a spirit of indifference
when the verdict was pronounced. From
outward appearance he did not seem to be
moved, but, it is said the verdict was really
taken seriously, although he did not show
it. At the jail last night Banks was greatly
depressed and talked very little. Yesterday
afternoon Mayor Taggarts private secre-
tary visited Banks and had a conference
with him. The meeting did not cheer Banks
to any extent. Banks has stated that the

Mayor Taggart and Deputy City Attorney
Bell called on Judge Afford at noon yes
terday and held a private consultation with
him. The purpose CT the visit was not made
known other than that it was to discuss
the evidence in the Banks case. Judge AL
ford said Mayor Taggart only wanted TO
show the knowledge he had of Banks's
plans Mr. Taggart said the responsibility
of himself ended when Banks failed to pro-
cure the ballot. He said If Banks made
further efforts than he was instructed to
do, he did it without his knowledge and
took the risk of buying it of his own ac-
cord.

NEW ERA I'm RAILROADING
THE OHIO RIVER NO LONGER d.
vIDEs NORTH-AND-sOUTH ROADS.
Percy Todd's Employment by the New
Haven Road Excites Speculation
Earnings show Gains.

The greatest Improvement ever made in
the passenger service from North TO South
is that just inaugurated by the lines be-
tween Chicago and Florida points, which
does away with the Ohio River barrier
which Northern lines have struggled for
years to overcome Southern lines have at
last realized that through-car service be-
tween Chicago. Detroit, Cleveland and
PittsbYrg would be a winning card for the
Southern roads, and would aid in turning
the tide of tourist travel toward Florida.
These new trains are intended 10 attract
to the South the cream of the Northern
and Northwestern travel, which has here
tofore gone to California and other winter
resorts, TO which through service is main
tanned. The adding of these long-distance
racers between the North and the South
marks a new era with the lines passing
through indianapolis. These trains cover
the distance between Chicago and st. Au-
gustine in thirty-two hours and thirty
minutes, an average speed of forty miles
an hour for the entire journey. which al
lows the making of but very few stops. and
those at important points. The trains are
made up exclusively of new Pullman YES
Thule sleeping cars, observation and lib
rary car and dining car. All the equip
ment is just from the hands of the makers
and modern in every respect. The first
train, which left Indianapolis on Monday
night, arrived at st. Augustine on time,
the Monon making the run with it from
Chicago to Indianapolis in five hours. Last
night the train was run through under
agreement on time over the Big Four, and
with the Inauguration of these trains in
dications are that there will be business
which will justify keeping them on through
the entire season.

upon for the tri-annual conclave of the

Knights of Pythias convention at San
Francisco in 1902 was referred to a COM
mittee of the lines terminal at San Fran
cisco. For the presidential Inauguration,
