Boston, Jan. 10.—The Supreme Court of Massachusetts declared ille- gal the issue of $67,500,000 6 per cent. convertible debentures proposed by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. The decision deprives J. P. Mor- gan & Co. of the $1,687,500 (2% per cent.) commission they were to get for underwriting the issue.

Even if the $45,000,000 of maturing debts is taken care of, the New Haven will not have the $22,000,000 with which it had hoped to buy modern ! equipment. | | The above designs are The McC-* | Company, New York, iIosigners. an Makers of McCall Patterns. New York, Jan., 9. That New York is dance mad was proved Yew Year’s Eve when at nearly sll the restaurants people of all ages ¢ inced out the old, and in the inc.' ing year. The new dances are so erty and graceful when prop- erly da ced by the right kind of peo- ple tha' one wonders at the fuss they have occasioned until a glimpse is had of the same dances done by the other sort in another way. How it will all end time only will tell but just now the middle aged and older dancers outdo their children and grandchildren in enthusiasm. SHO (T DRESSES THE RULE. No doubt this craze is responsible for the fact that almost everyone is wearing vither short dresses, or little whisps of trains, that are made to catch up at one side into the draper- ies, quite out 6f the way when danc- ing is indulged. This fashion like many orhers net designed for her benefit, is turned to account by the woman whose few gowns must do service for many occasions. A black satin frock that is short and practi- cal enough to be worn on foot in the street, under a smart warm coat when that garment is put off, emer- ges, with a dainty transparent bod- ice, and fishtail train, drapded at a touch from its concealed fastening. Black taffeta is exceedingly smart just now for afternoon wear, and all the colored taffetas including changeables follow a close second. White and the paler tints are regu- lated to gas light as a rule, though a long all enveloping wrap makes even these fgo at the popular after- noon tea dances. TRANSFORMATION GOWNS. ‘“Transformation gowns’’ is an apt name for dresses that, worn with a gamp are suited for afternoon wear and without this separate appendage, are correct for evening occasions. A number of excellent models for such frock are to be had and most of them are easy to construct. Dresses and suits of string color, beige and similar tints are lately no- table at the fashionable restaurants, also pastel pinks and ivdry whites. Such delicate colors need a tduch of fine dark fur to save them from in- BLAME CITY FOR CRIME WAVE Up-State Police Authorities Say New York Drives Crooks Into Country. Middletown, N. Y., Jan. 10.—The Up- State police authorities are becoming disgusted with the policy adopted re- cently by the New York City author- ities, which is driving criminals out of the city into the country. The lo- cal authorities state that within the last two weeks more crooks have been operating in Orange County than at any other time in years. The safe in the Chester post office was blown and about $3,000 stolen. A safe in the Erie station at Monroe also was blown. Clairvoyants in this city swindled two women out of $710.. Another clair- voyant got $400 by selling worthless mining stock to a woman. One man posing as a physician got $300 by bad checks. Stores in Sloatsburg and Cocheston were robbed. J. C. SPOONER’S KIN KILLS 2 Ex-Senator’s Nephew Shoots Woman and Then Kills Himsélf for Cause Unknown. Madison, Wis., Jan. 10.—John Spoon. er, a nephew of John C. Spooner, former United States Senator, who is now practicing law in New York, shot and killed Miss Emily McConnell, thir-, ty-five years old, a Madison school teacher, and then turned the revolver on himself: Spooner, who is a son of Roper Spooner, a brother of John C. Spooner, was forty years old, married and had two children. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. He called Miss McConnell into the hallway at the school where she was teaching, and without enagaing in con- versation killed her.

FASHIONABLE WRAPS. Supple wraps of fur in dolman or | coat form are the choice of the wom- an who understands the art of good: dressing. These if of seal, broadtail or ermine are quite out of reach of the woman who spends moderately for her dress but there are beautiful cuats to be had reliable pelts, made up in latest styles at very moderate figures now that January prices pre- vail. At C. C. Shayne & Co’s., where I usually go to get the latest news of fur fashions, I saw beautiful coats of sable squirrel, and of soft gray mo- leskin that anyone would be proud to tein diamond mine. Reliable details are lacking, but it is reported that 9,000 natives have risen in revolt, brok- en out of the compounds where they have been housed and sacked the town of Jagersfontein. Several persons are said to have been killed, while the natives are said also to have lost sey- eral in the fighting. : The inhabitants of the town are re- ported to have left their houses and concentrated in a laager.

VESTS AND GIRDLES. Small lengths of brocade that can be picked up at the prevailing Jan- uary sales make effective vests to freshen and smarten winter suits. Some of the prettiest now have col- lars attached that turn over the jacket enging just in front of the shoulder line, after the fashion famil- iar in trimmings. Wide girdles or brocade, Roman stripe or plaided silks are similarly useful to transform a plain frock. VERONA CLAKE Hew’s his?
