RAILROADS DROP
PARALLEL LINES

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 31.-General
Manager Nudge of the Santa Fe yes
terday said of the Santa Fe-Rock Is
land alliance:
1.-THE Santa Fe will build from Dodge
City to Liberal, Kansas, connecting the
Santa Fe main line with the Rock
Island at once From Liberal to some
Santa Fe cut off crosses the Rock
Island, a distance of $50 miles. the
Santa Fe will use the Rock Island
tracks. From this point the Rock
Island will use the Santa Fe tracks to
the Pacific coast.
This will probably blot out the
plans of both roads for rebuilding
heretofore proposed New Mexico oppo-
sition lines.
"The plan for rebuilding the Santa
Fe's Pecos Valley lines. and the Pan
Handle division will come to naught,
for the through traffic of the Santa Fe
will not be sent south through Wich-
ita, Wellington and Alva, but will go
west from Newton to Hutchinson.
Kinaley and Dodge City, thence south
on the proposed new line to Liberal" /"
When asked whether or not the
Rock Island has secured any voice in
Santa Fe affairs by means of purchase
of stock, Mr.. Nudge said:
"'That is something which l know
nothing at all about. All l know is
that at present it is the plan to build
our lines south from Dodge City, in
stead of making our main line over the
Panhandle, as was contemplated"
The Santa Fe and Rock Island have
for some time been on the verge of a
serious conflict, and the consummation
of the traffic alliance has been brought
about, 1t is believed. by the fear that
such a conflict might result disas-
trously to both roads. Combination
is better than competition" has been
the keynote in the delicate situation.

GO SLOW AT

Returning visitors from st. Louis
comment on the general lack of prog
ress on the buildings for the expo
sition. They state that labor is one
of the problems which builders are
facing. as the laborers work but five
hours in the day, at 10 cents per hour,
making it expensive and slow They
state that the majority of the build
ings have not reached the stage OF

indicate that they will be ready when
the exposition is scheduled to open
Then too, the cold weather will start
in next month. and much work will be
delayed until the winter is over. These
visitors say also that under these ad-
verse conditions the chances for erect
ing the proposed Hawaiian building in
time for the opening are slight. And
the cost would far exceed the esti-
mates.

that when he became assessor forget
ting to say 'if," he would lower the
taxes.
Caypless said that the reins of gov
ernment of the Island would be in
Home Rule hands if the natives only
used their votes for the Home Rule
ticket He stated they would be fools
if they did not take what their votes
would give them. Speaking of the va
rious opposition candidates, he said
something about Testa, evidently in
tending to use the word "pololei, Gall
right, but used ''pololi' instead, which
means hungry. Testa was in the audi
ence, and he called back, Yes, am
hungry-for a good government"
Elder Fernandez spoke of the Board
of Health and the Board of Education,
saying that Hawaiians were kept out
of each There were as brainy men
amongst the Hawaiians, he alleged, as
among the haoles, and the Hawaiians
could do ust as good service on these
boards as the others.

A SOCIETY ROMANCE.
HOW THE VANDERBILT FAMILY FEup
BEGAN AND ENDED.

Remarkable Business and Social
Successes Of the Disinherited Son
and His Brilliant wIfe-ReconcIIi-
alton Complete.
The recent announcement of the end.
ing of the feud between Cornelius Van.
derbit and the other members of his
fathers family caused a sensation in
social circles on both sides of the At.
lantic. The estrangement between the
Nanderbilts began six years ago, when
young Cornelius, disobeying his ia.
Tiers command, announced his deter.
mination To marry Miss Grace Wilson.
The announcement so infuriated the
elder man that the next day he sum.
moned lawyer and made new will,
cutting off his eldest son with a few
hundred thousands and leaving the
bulk of his fortune TO Alfred Gwynne
his second son, whom he made head of
the house. a few days later Cornelius
senior was stricken with the attack of
apopleXy which caused his death about
two years later.
At the cost of $50.000000 and the os.
tracism of his family young Cornelius
married the girl he loved. She is
several years older than her husband
and this is said to have been the cause
of the objection TO the match She
Is, however, young woman of un-
usual brilliance and of family noted
for its good connections. One sister
had married Sir Michael Herbert. now
British ambassador at Washington; an.
other Ogden GOelet, and Mr. Orme vii
son, a brother, had married an Astor.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the broth
er who became head of the house and
who inherited the S50,0OO,000 that Cor
nelius would have received. was chiefly
responsible for the reconciliation. The
opportunity came last winter when
Cornelius was desperately i'll. Alfred
made Overtures for friendly under
standing, which he had long desired to
bring about.
His efforts were not successful until
all the Vanderbilts had made it clear to
Cornelius that they were willing to re-
ceive his wife. His mother signified
her acceptance of this condition by
calling on her daughter-in-law last
February, just previous to the depar-
ture Of Cornelius and his wife to
Europe.

ter's family have made it easy for the
Vanderbilts to reunite. Her social sue
cess has been as marked and brilliant
as has that of her husband in business.
No Vanderbilt since his grandfather
has shown more solid ability and pluck.
He is credited with having doubled the
fortune he received from his father.
Young Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has
outshone all the other Vanderbilt wom-
en- in a social way. She and her hus-
band became the recipients of marked
courtesies from Emperor William on
three different visits to Germany. Re
Gently at Kiel no Americans attending
the naval regatta there were shown
such special attention by the kaiser.
Young Vanderbilt sailed with him on
his yacht, the kaiser called on the
young couple and dined them and they
were at receptions which he and Prince
Henry gave.
By special request of the emperor,
Prince Henry, when he was here last
year, dined with Cornelius Wander
bilt, the only private function of the
kind which he enjoyed This occasion
was one of the most brilliant of its
kind in New York society.
While at Dantzic recently on their
Yacht, the North Star, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius received further evidences
of the kaisers good will. Their visit
was made at the suggestion of Emper-
or William, who directed the provincial
governor and commandant of the port
to show them every courtesy.
During their recent stay at st.
Petersburg Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt re-
ceived marked attention. They were
dined by Grand Duke Boris at the in-
perial palace and were also enter
tained at dinner by the Grand Duke
Michaelovitch. They in turn gave
luncheon to Grand Duke Boris and
other members of the imperial Russian
family on their yacht, North Star.
The reconciliation Of the Vanderbilts
brings to an end most romantic faml-
ly quarrel and one which has attracted
more widespread attention than any
ever known in New York's millionaire
families
Pv15lic evidence of the reunion Will
be given as soon as Cornelius and his
wife return to this country by happy

said "As to the doctors, they are rid

Whatever may happen among the
bricks and stones Of Wall street, the
country at large is not likely to suffer
materially. Speculative disturbances
in New York cannot upset the solid
basis Of wealth in the country. Agri-
culture fourishes without regard to the
quotations On the ticker The range Of
prices of securities may have this or
that relation to their real value, but
the grain goes on growing, and the live
stock keep on fattening. All of this is
eminently satisfying to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson, who tersely re-
marks:
II believe the country will continue
to enjoy its prosperity, because be-
lieve the whole system rests upon agri-
culture"
With an abundant yield of all the
great food staples the country has
much to sell, and there are foreign mar
kets hungry for its products. OF our
exports, 62.72 per cent are from the
farms. That contribution to the
worlds table yields and will continue
to yield its tribute In freight for car
rlage from field to port.
While speculative fortunes may
dwindle and fade, the real wealth Of
the country goes on increasing. In
1898 the aggregate money in this coun-
try was s2,073,OOO,OOO. In five years
this sum has grown to $2,6SS, 100000.
Cash in the banks in 1902 was $780,
100000, an increase in ten years of
$3.50, 100000. American farmers in 1890
owned $404 100000 Of implements and
machinery. In 1900 this form of wealth
had grown to $761 100000. The farm
ers' products in 1890 were worth ST.
460,0O0,O 900; in 1900 their value was $4,-
739, 100000. simultaneously the fac
tories are busy. Their output increased
last year $l,95O,OOO,0OO in value over
the previous year, and they paid out
$232, 100000 more In wages.
1t is these fundamental facts that
give the country serenity and security
while the stock manipulators, who
have been sowing to the wind, are reap
ing the whirlwind. The country at large
is not particularly disturbed by the
antics of Wall street.

Late Artists Treatment of n sitter
- Who Annoyed Him.
1t is told q" the late James McNeill
Whistler that upon certain occasion
he appeared at dinner party with no
tie on, says Ilarper's Weekly. A friend
of his demonstrated
"For heavens sake, Whistler, you've
forgotten your tie!'
Not at ALL" he returned, mot at all!
Why wear tie? My white collar rises
from my white shirt, which is fastened
by gold stud Everything simple, ex-
cellent. Why put another white on top
of that? I'm much better dressed than

Whistler was unsparing to sitters
who annoyed HMM fact, sitting
with him was an ordeal that 1t re-
quired courage to face. 1t Is said that
one man annoyed him horribly by say
ing at the end of each sitting:
How about that ear, Mr. Whistler?
Don't forget to finish that!"
At the last sitting, everything being
done except this ear, Whistler said:
"Well, think l am through. Now
I'll sign It," which he did in very
solemn, important manner, as was his
way.
But my ear, Mr.. Whistler! You
aren't going to leave it that wayT
'Oh, you can put 1t in after you get

Whistler's laxity in the matter of en-
gagements was notorious. No one ever
knew If he We're coming or not to af-
fairs. But his point of view is explain
ed in his answer to friend of his who
knew that he had an engagement to
dine with some swells in distant part
of London and who felt that it was
most impolitic for Whistler to offend
them. 1t was growing late, and yet
Whistler was painting away, madly
intently.
"NIy dear fellow" he said to him at
last, sit is frightfully late. and you
have to dine with Lady Such-a One
Don't you think you'd better stop?'
Stop fairly shrieked Whistler
"Stop, when everything Is going so
beautifully? Go and stuff myself with
disgusting food when | can paint like
this? Never! Never! Besides, they
won't do anything until 1 get there
they never do" And the entire speech
Is most characteristic of the man.

hORELLlS s COMET AS CAUGHT BY THE
CAMERA.
liancy of star of the third magnitude.
The comet is travelling toward the sun
at speed of about five degrees a day.
According to the measurements made
by the Yale observers, its head is about
100000 miles in diameter, and its dou-
Bile tail is at least 100000 miles long.
The Borelll comet is the only impor-
tant one seen since eight years ago,
when the Rordame was discovered,
and is the brightest since Smiths
comet, which appeared about twelve
years ago. 1t is now in its most bril-
liant phase and will gradually begin to
grow dim as it approaches the sun.
For several weeks, however, it will
still be visible. About Aug. 81 it
passes the sun at distance of about
100000 miles.
The photographs taken by the Yale
observers show a long tail that is not
visible to the naked eye. The mega
tives also show that the tail is forked
really making two tails. Astronomers
say that the comet is passing the earth
at a distance of about 26,000.000 miles
and Is travelling at a speed of twenty
five miles a second
The comet is in the constellation
Draco, half way between the bowl of
the little dipper and the handle of the
great dipper. At present il is as con-
spicuous to the naked eye as the bright
est star in the dippers, but not so sharp
and distinct. 1t may be identified by
its hazy look. An opera glass will show
It as faint streak stretching toward
the southeast
