January 1st the Rock Island -expects to be able to open ior business its southwestern extension to El Paso Tex This line in connection with the Southern Pacific and tho Mexican Cen tral railroads will give the Rock Island the shortest line both to South ern California and the City of Mexico and make it a dangerous competitor of tho Santa Fe It took just one year to construct the 546 miles of the new ex tension from Liberal Kan to El Paso Tex For the purpose of complying with the Texas law that every railroad within that state shall have state oper ating headquarters and also for general construction facilities and convenience the new road was placed under the charters of five different railroad cor porations viz The v Chicago Rock VIsland Pacific proper the Chicago f Rock Island Mexico the Chicago Rock Island El Paso the Rock Island El Paso and the El Paso North eastern The road from Liberal to Santa Rosa N M a distance of 272 miles was placed under direct Rock Island construction with J H Conlen vice president of the Chicago Rock Island Mexico as Chief Engineer and General Manager while from San ta Rosa to Carrizozo a distance of 130 miles the construction work was given to the El Paso Northeastern which already had a constructed line from El Paso to Carrizozo The road from Lib eral to Carrizozo will be equipped with eighty pound steel rails oak or pitch pine ties and modern ballasting De pot side tracks switches station houses yardings water tanks and Western Union telegraph lines have all kept pace with actual road building and when the road is opened by the first of next year it will be In as perfect condition as any of the lines of the Rock Island system that have been in service for years In connection with the Rock Island El Paso line is the new thirty mile railroad which is to develop the immense Dawson coal fields owned by the Rock Island on the Beaublen and Miranda grant in the northern part of Colfax county N M This toad will leave the main Rock Island rails at or near Liberal station twenty miles southwest of the Cana dian river crossing and run through the New Mexican counties of San Mi guel Mora and Colfax This branch will be completed by May 15 1902 The coal is to feed the southeastern por tion of the Rock Island El Paso line and probably will largely supply the Southern Pacific railroad in additioa to a heavy domestic custom In that section of the country The comple tion of the EI Paso line will give the Rock Island a route of 222 miles short er between Kansas City and El Paso than that of the Santa Fe between the same points together with a saving of fifteen hours of time the latter fact being largely due to the favorable alignment and maximum 1 per cent grade of the new Rock Island line In connection with the Southern Pacific the Rock Island will have a shorter line from Chicago to Los Angeles than Tvill the Santa Fe The construction cost of the Rock Island El Paso line will approximate 7000000 an average of about 15000 per mile Chicago Tribune First Woman Ever Photographed Anna Catherine Draper who died at her home in Hastings N Y on Tuesday in her 95th year is said to have been the

STATEMENTS FROM CELEBRATED PEOPLE What They Eat and Drink and tua Strength and Endurance Furnished by Simple Foods A Woman Who Eats What Comen Handy A series df queries concerning their favorite foodstuffs addressed to cer tain well iknown people by a hygienic expert has elicited some interesting replies Mme Sarah Grand lives on the plainest food principally sh meat and toast and seldom touaes sweets fruit or vegetables One dish at dinner is all she cares about and she finds alcohol in any shape or form bad for work Even a glass of- light wine she says deprives me of staying power drink nothing at luncheon but have a small cup of black coffee afterward I feel like the Chinese about milk the very no tion of drinking a fluid that comes direct from an animal makes me ill I never forget the horrible cow Miss Edna May naively confesses that her only principle is to eat drink and if possible do what she likes Signor Arditi Is a small eater and con fines himself to two meals a

sustaining diet Miss Lily Hanbury finds the most satisfy ing diet to act upon is the plainest food and a very good salary Marie Corelli responds with a quotation I eat the air promise crammed you

vege tarian for two years but she finds on the whole that the ordinary diet of the country is best Miss Janotha court pianist to the German emperor eats strong soups birds of all kinds simple puddings vegetables and fruit On days she says when a special strength is required to enable me to go through the fatigue of long con certs a cup of soup every few hours and a biscuit a bjrd fruit and my favorite chocolates are forced upon me Miss Winifred Emery plumps for meat Next to meat she writes I like fruit always uncooked but that I prefer between my meals only and never after them at desert Milk I do not like and never take Mrs Brown Potter on the other hand says Personally I exist almost on milk in fact I may say there are three Alderney cows who live princi pally for me and I principally con tribute to keep them alive Miss Violet Vanbrugh also takes milk when extra busy with the addition of good homp made beef tea Sir Charles Dilke considers that for all people save those of spare habit violent exercise is necessary and it follows therefore that their food should be that which makes such exercise possible to them Mr Bernard Shaw is of course a consistent vegetarian R G

happy but beauty have I none Lady Warwick eats any kind of food and is very strong and healthy Mrs Langtry writes I find perfectly plain fare suits me best and not to much of it but that would probably not suit Pharaohs lean kine Mr Herman Vezin pins his faith to the no breakfast system i e fast for four hours after rising and then take your principal meal six hours later a light meal and that is all Mr Israel Zangwill is hepi grammatic Unfortunately he writes I have never eaten to work but al ways worked to eat Dr Alfred Rus sell Wallace finds fish good for brain work Theoretically he says he be lieves in vegetarianism but difficul ties in cooking etc prevent him adopting it Mr Hall Caine replies pathetically that if he knew anything about the subject that was worth tell ing he would avail himself of its ad vantages being a constant martyr to all the troubles that attend diet George Gissing believes theoretically like Dr Wallace in vegetarianism but he confesses that his experiments in that direction have been anything but successful Montreal Herald and Star Admiral Byngs Fate Admiral John Byng the fourth son of Admiral the Earl of Torrington was sent out in 1756 with
