FREDERICK, Md, December 25.-Wil-
bur H. Duvall. cashier of the Farmers and
Mechanics National Bank. died suddenly
at his home, West Sd street, shortly after
g o'clock last evening of angina pectoris.
He was f1fty-four years old.
Mr. Duvall was taken sick in a barber
shop. A few minutes later he asked a
friend TO accompany him home. He died
almost Immediately after reaching his
room.
For the last year the deceased had suf-
fered with heart trouble. He seemed un-
usually well today. and was at his desk
In the bank until o'clock this evening,
when he went home and made preparations
with his family for Christmas. The ia tai
attack came on suddenly, and he died be-
fore it was known by his closest friends

Mr.. Duvall was born near Buckeystown,

EVENING WRAPS.
Opera Cloaks Are Longer and Sleeves
q Are Larger This Season.,

It is true that the great ma jority of
evening wraps seen this year are all elab-
crate to a degree. being handsome in tex
ture and trimming alike. but 1t Is also a
fact that there are many simply fashioned
cloaks that are extremely smart. In at
tempting to economic the simpler the style
selected the better. for quantities of poor,
cheap lace and embroidery help to turn
out a very ugly garment. Cut is really
more important than anything else, and
the next consideration should be the color
and quality of the material
Unquestionably good taste and clever
judgment are more necessary in purchas-
ing a ready-made gown or wrap than in
the choosing of an expensive model that is
to be copied to order. Certainly remark
able bargains are to be found among this
years ready-to-wear wraps; and if one is
fortunate enough to find design that is
not too fussily trimmed a considerable sum
can be saved, while the wrap will answer
all requirements nicely.
Unfortunately, the squirrel-lined wraps
comfortable and cheap as they are-are
now relegated to country wear. or possibly
for the theater over a light gown. but in
their place are shown many different mod
els in light cloth and velvet that are, as a
rule, extremely good. Velvet of any quail
fty Is In itself so effective that whether in
light or dark shade 1t is most attractive

for evening wear. For astonisfingly little
1t is now possible to procure a long loose
velvet or velveteen cloak of an excellent
cut for the evening. which with the addi-
tfon of a. lace fur collar is a conspicu-
ously handsome cloak. In light shades
blue. deep pink or masve, as well as I'm
deep red or black. such a coat is suitable
on any occasion in the evening and is also
possible for the afternoon, when such
style coat is called for.
White cloth evening coats might be said
to be as popular as ever. 1t has been an
nounced that a white cloth wrap must be
most ella borate to be at all fashionable
and In view of this mandate 1t is aston
ishing how many simply made white cloth
wraps are to be seen with full loose back,
with the half-fitted effect. or in the IA
vorite empire design. The cloth cloak
seems about equally popular. II is a trifs
longer than last year and the sleeves are
somewhat fuller. and there are more full
length sleeves than formerly, but all the
same any one of last winters white cloth
wraps could serve perfectly well just now.
Large collar. wide revers and full-faring
cuffs of white fur give an attractive finish
to the evening wrap. and really when one
considers how constantly furs are worn
during the daytime lit Is to be wondered at
that any woman dares venture out without
a full fur collar on her evening cloak.

amounted to 50 .373,924.
The number of employees killed in
coupling and uncoupling cars and en-

The two most disastrous accidents
reported in the present bulletin was
butting collision of passenger trains
