New Ideas In Shirts.

A man with the courage of his con-
victions upon the subject of masculine
attire has at last come to the front

man takes his life in his hands and pro-
tests against the iron-clad shirt The
custom of wearing in the summer stitiiy-
starched collars and cuffs with. sheet
iron shirt bosoms that no sun will wilt,
is one. he thinks. which no brave man
should follow. The suggestion comes q
little late in the season. but the leaven
may do its good work for next year.
The only substitute this daring inno-
vator suggests is that of the wooden
shirt. which. to his long ng eyes, looks
lovely rs he sees il worn by yachtmen
and bicyclers. Why should not all gen
tlemen adopt these comfortable gar
ments, cries this perspiring editor, and
why not now. Wooden shirts may be
very well in their way. but if men are
going into the dress reform business,
why not display little of the courage
we have tried to instill into the souls Of
our sisters. Never mind public opin-
ion. but wear what is sensible and COM

its uses. but it is more beautiful in the

not entirely clear when the thermometer
is in the nineties. What the man of
the period wants. the man who will

his taste and purse. should satisfy the
most fastidious. The classic style OF
man will need no decorations. but the
less highly favored will doubtless pre-
fer trimmings in the way of ruffles. en-
bro;dery, or even lace. to replace the
old expanse of shining linen. Collars
can be dispensed with; rutiles and

coming as well as more comfortable.

other gem. that has hitherto glittered
in the heavy pasteboard shield known
as scarf. Man has not, since the rev.
dictionary days. had a fair opportunity.
to exercise his taste or choice in the
matter of color or decoration. He has
been forced to attire himself in gar
ments precisely like those of a hundred
thousand other men, and. thus. in
measure, lose his identity. He is
creature of habit, but not lacking in
courage. and here is his opportunity to
assert himself. He can at once be beau
tiful and engaging lin which ease the
girls will like him better. and he can
likewise be comfortable. The Record

verts to his idea. and will do well to

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

sion over the reply of the secretary OF
war about the ordnance business. The
secretary of war replying that the presl-
dent of the ordinance board would
make report before the end OF the
year. Morgan criticised the response as
'snubblng the senate He remarked
that he had been informed that some
of the heavy guns ordered to be built
by the government, and costing $780,
900 apiece, had burst when being test
ed, and he would insist on having the
facts.
After some further discussion the
matter was passed over. Resolutions
were offered directing the secretary OF
the state to negotiate for a reciprocity
treaty with Central and South
America.
A bill to reimburse Georgia to the
amount of 1850, money advanced
for the defense of the frontier against
Indians was reported.
The pensions arrears law was dis
cussed and laid over informally. The
remainder of the session was taken up
in hearing bills not objected to.
In the House: KEENAN, reported 2
tariff commission bill; the democratic
minority made some objection.
Committee on ways and means, re-
ported in favor Of admitting free of
duty a monument to Geo. Washington.
Committee on judiciary, to establish
a court of commissioners of the Ala
bama claims, and to distribute the I'M
expended money of the Geneva award.
Committee on postoffices and post
roads, to establish postal saving de-
post, as branch of the postoffice de-
partment.
The bill for the erection of public
building at Lynchburg, Va, was re-
ported from the committee on public
buildings and grounds, and referred to
the committee of the whole.
At the conclusion of the morning
hour the house resumed the considera-
ton of the bill authorizing the post
master general to adjust the claims of
postmasters for losses by burglary, fire
or other unavoidable casualty. The
bill confines the jurisdiction of the
postmaster general to claims which
may arise hereafter, or which have
arisen within the past Six years; but, on
motion of Robinson, of Massachusetts,
this limit was increased to ten years.
The bill as amended was passed.
The consideration of the apportion-
ment bill was then resumed. Mills, of
Texas, submitted an amendment fixing
the number of representatives at 3o7.
After several members had spoken the
matter went over for the present, and
the funding bill was taken from the
speakers table and refered to the
committee on ways and means. At 3
p. m. public business was suspended
and the house proceeded to pay its last
tribute of respect to the late NJ. P.
O'Connor, of South Carolina.
Eulogies were delivered by Dibble, of
South Carolina; Randall, of Pennsyl-
vania; Bowman, of Massachusetts,;
Maginnis, of Montana; Glardy, of Mis-
soul; Hooper, of Pennsylvania; Ellis,
Louisiana; Robinson, of New York,

then, at AGO p. m, out of respect to
the memory of the deceased, the house
adjourned.
