SANTA FE BONDS,
Stockholders Formally Approve
the Issue Today.
Amount VIII Be Ninety-eight
Million Dollars.

AT the meeting of the stockholders of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road held in Topeka today authority
was given the officers to secure 9S mil
lions of dollars of new capital by either
the issuance of new stock or the issu-
ance of bonds to that amount, which
ever shall be decided upon by the di-
rectors at some future time
If stock is issued it will be with the
privilege of converting it into bonds,
verted into stock at some future time if
the holder so desires
The capital will be increased but 9S
millions, and not twice that amount,
as the impression seemed to be in
some quarters.
Aside from the voting of the proxies
on this proposition, nothing else of
consequence developed at the meeting
held here today.
Stock numbering 1,495,919 shares
were represented in the meeting by
proxies, of which all but 120 shares
were voted in favor of the proposed
bond issue. The proxy for the 120
shares voting against the proposition
was sent to Topeka by mail with the
simple statement of the holder to vote
it against the proposition.
OF the issue of SO millions of dollars
holders today, only % millions will be
marketed at this time. The remainder
will be sold as fast as needed for extern
SionS, improvements or for the absorp-
tion of other railways.
The % million of dollars are for i'm
mediate use in meeting extensions and

Manners and Customs That Strike an

1t is not the play or the acting or the
applause that attracts and holds the
.attention OF the American who is at

first place, the predominance of men
in the best orchestra seats will provoke
a question which brings forth the In
formation that in the majority or the
better class theaters in Paris the first
three rows Of the orchestra are sold
almost exclusively to men, and, as far
as it is possible, the box office fayors
men for the body Of the house, princl-
pally because they do not wear hats
and do not therefore obstruct the view
of those sitting behind. Before the
curtain goes up the stranger glanceS
about and is surprised to discover jew
els and gowns decollete in the highest
balconies, the part Of the theater
known in America as peanut heay-
en-" Both men and women, dressed
as for a grand ball, are perched away
up at least three flights Of stairs, and
during entr'actes they come down and
promenade with the others and visit
their friends, and few are the wiser
as to the location of their seats. The
very fact of being present at an I'M
portant opening is enough to give
certain social precedence. even though
they sat on the rafters or chung to the
chandeliers.
No f1Ip q ftrl0fS
American is that during the entr,actes
the men who do not join the prom
enade stand up and don their hats the
moment the curtain is down, and they
spend the entire twenty or twenty-five
minutes inspecting their neighbors
through opera glasses. There is much
activity In the balconies and III the

rows ana family circles the men and

known as a "break'' it is. best to
say nothing whatever about it. Elk
tenuation only renders bad matter
worse.
Not long ago lady was visiting
the studio Of a portrait painter and
trying to make herself as agreeable
as possible in return for a welcome
and afternoon tea. She enjoyed the
pictures, although in each case they
seemed to her much idealized, and
she went from one to another, civil
ly expressing her appreciation.

"you must tell ME about them. Who

Why Tabby For Cat?

A Florentine authority says that
when we use the word ''tabby" as
ISOLATED with cat we go back to the
time when Mohammed named Attab
governor of Mecca Then, later on,
there was a quarter in Bagdad
called "Atta Biyah," where cloth
was made of silk and cotton, which
material was famous in the eleventh
century. The Spanish Moors made
this stuff, which was striped, and SO
in time "tabby cloth" became COM
mon in Europe; hence in low Latin
"attabia," in Spanish ''tabbi,' in
French "tabis" and in German
''tabiD." Pepys tells of ''taby waist
coats with gold lace" and in the
eighteenth century there are many
references to "tabby silks" worn by
great ladies. Today in the south
tabby means striped stuff.
