TEXAS OIL FIELDS.
Interests at Beaumont and Jennings
Abosrbed by Rockefeller.

| Interests at Beaumont and Jennings
Abosrbed by Rockefeller.
New Orleans, La, Dec. 30.-The
Standard Oil company at last has Sc
cured control of the Beaumont Oil field
| in Texas and the Jennings oil region
| in Louisiana.
| The fact has just leaked out here
| that the trust is master of the situa-
| ton.
There are only few small compan-
| les remaining. outside.
The Guffey company and the Waters
Pierce oil company are under the con-
troll Of the Standar. TheWaters Pierce
company has been a subsidiary cor
poration of the trust for several years,
but the Guffey company recently was
purchased. This company will BE op-
Grated as separate corporation with
the old, in order to evade the Texas
antitrust laws.
The Haywood oil company, which
practically controls the Jennings field
in Louisiana, is now owned by the
Standard, according to statements
made in New Orleans financial circles.
and this gives the trust monopoly of
the two great fields.
The price of fuel oil has been ad-
vanced to 81 barrel, and the indica-
tions are the quotations will go still
higher.

full picture Of the Grand Cayon OF

The prettiest of revivals is the re-
viva Of the New Year call. The fash.
ion is enthusiastically set by the first
INDY of the land, who has thrown new
life and impetus into a time-honoreG
custom and it is given impetus by the
hcstesses OF Washington, who have
almost to woman decided to keep op
en- house on New Years day.
This means that the chance caller
! is as welcome as the old family friend
/ and that each and every man who has
ever stepped foot upon the family door
step is invited to come and bring with
i aim ali his friends.
Tie New Year call in a way sets the
social ball rolling, for it determines il
a measure ones acquaintances for the
coming year. 1t certainly enlarges
ones social circle and makes it not
oHl. wider, but cheerier, for ones
friends friends is welcome
Custom demands that the woman
at home should be we'll and elaborately
dressed. II able to afford the luxury
she should be even magnificently
gowned and there is nothing of ele
gance which she cannot with perfect
propriety wear.
On other occasions she must not
outshine her guests, but on New Year
day there are no guests to be out
shone. for she is the only woman pres
ent, and the better she Is dressed the
more will the compliment be appre
ciated by her male callers.
Where there are young ladies to as
sist, the young women may dress all
in white. Or. If preferred, their gowns
may be in colors, with due regard to
harmony Of the whole.
In Washington there will be one re
ceiving line which will be dainty in the
extreme. The hostess. who is in black
will wear lovely dress in peau de
crepe trimmed with lace and made to
wink" with just a few jets. Her
decorations will be satiny black roses
and she will wear a great bunch OF
these in her half-whitmed locks.
Her guests will be goWned in white.
