TT Is pleasing to note how the exag-

thank herself only. Never before were
SO many handsome models displayed for
the edification Of foreigners. and when
shown, as they usually are, on the
mannequins conversion is generally the
result.
One feature which ought to be vel
coined by women is the incorporation
of net and lace in collar and guimpe.
It appears on nearly all frocks and 10

NEW PRESIDENT
FOR CITY BANK

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Frank A.
vanderlip, former assistant secretary
of the treasury, will become president
CT the National City bank following
today's annual meeting of the stock
holders. Mr.. Vanderlip is now vice
president of the institution, which is
commonly known as the standard
Oil bank and is the most important
financial organization in the country.
He will succeed James Stillman, who
for the last two or three years has
spent most of his time in Europe.
Mr. Stillman's retirement has been
anticipated. for with the exception OF
the panic period he has not latterly
been as active as was formerly his
custom in financial affairs. He has
resigned from many boards, including
those of the Hartman lines, and in
every case has been succeeded by
Mr. Vanderlip. On his retirement as
president of the City bank he will be-
come chairman of the board of direc-
tors, it is expected, and while con-
corning himself not at all with the
ordinary business of the institution
will remain in a position to give his
advice on momentous occasion
Mr.. Vanderlip entered the National
City bank as a vice president early
in 1901, resigning as assistant secre-
tary of the treasury to accept the
new post. He has been active and
prominent as banker, one of his
achievements having been the organ
ization and building up of the bond
department of the City bank. He
has also delivered notable addresses
on business and financial conditions.
Mr.. Vanderlip is still a young man,
having been born on November II,
1864, at Aurora. ILL.,. He attended the
public schools when a boy, later
spending a year at the University of
Illinois. where he worked his way,
and finally became a reporter on
and then financial editor of 1.-The Chi
cago Tribune" From that post he
resigned to become secretary to Ly-
man j. Gage, Secretary of the Treas
ury, and in July. 1897. was made an
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
in which office he resigned especial
reputation through his able manage
ment of the details Of the Spanish
war loan Of 1898. Within the last
year Mr. Vanderlip has succeeded Mr..
Stillman as a director and member
of the executive committee Of sew
eral important corporations, among
them the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany and the Consolidated Gas COM
pany.
The National City bank, which re-
Gently removed from No. SO Wall
street across the way to its splendid
new quarters in the remodelled GUS
tom house, is the largest bank in the
United States, having a capital of $25.-
100000 which is also the capital of
the National Bank of commerce: sur
plus and undivided profits in excess
of $25.000,000, and loans and deposits
of about $1S3,O00,O00 each.

GAMBLERS ARE
LOOKING WORRIED

WALLACE, Jan. 12.-(Special Cor
respondence)-No little amount of
agitation is being manifested by the
gambling fraternity relative to the
probable action of Sheriff-elect Moi
fat regarding the operation of games
of chance here. 1t is the generally
accepted theory that the new official
will close up every gambling game
the first day he is in office. 1t is also
generally understood that if he should
not do this, action will be forced by a
committee which has been gathering
evidence against the gambling houses
and which, it is claimed, has SO wit
nessess ready to testify. Last night
proprietors of a number of places
where games are in progress attempt
ed ito put into effect a pan whe1 eby
all the houses were to be closed at
midnight without waiting for the
sheriff to give notice. Some agreed,
while others refused to go into the
combine, with the result that tonight
the places are crowded, as heretofore,
with roulette and blackjack games In
full swing.
The citizens committee has waited
an opportunity for months to force the
lid on. There are nearly $50 people
living off the proceeds of the games,
according to testimony given out by
gamblers, and the profits, in order to
keep up expenses, must be not less
than $4,000 week.

BOUGHT CASKET;
WIFE RECOVERED

Heppner, Jan. 12.-(Special Core
Observation-Disclosures Thdburn, who
lives several miles from this city, IS
being made the butt of a joke, because
on a recent visit to The Dalles, he saw
fit to purchase casket and shroud for
his wife, who was seriously i'll, his
by the deplorable condition of the
roads and the illness of his better half
that seemed certain to result fatally.
But Mrs. TIloburn rapidly recovered,
and is now telling the story of her
husbands shopping expedition.
Mrs. Thoburn was seriously ill at
her home in Wapanita shortly before
Christmas. She was not expected to
survive, and the day before Christmas
her death was considered only a mat
ter of hours. Her husband was COM
PEELED to make a trip to The Dalles, by
team that day The roads were in
miserable condition.. Expecting that
his wife wChld not live long and not
wishing to- make another trip over the
bad roads, Mr.. Thoburn decided to
purchase a casket and get the ma
terial for a shroud for her body. He
carried out this plan and also pur-
chased a number of candles in prepar-
alton fer the wake. Mrs. Thoburn is
a we'll woman now and was able to
visit relatives i'm this city on New
Years day. She says she expects to
remain in the land of the living for
several more years in spite of the fact
that a casket which was intended for
her dead body is now stored in the
barn in Wapanitia.
