SOMETHING FINE FOR GENTLEMEN. There
il no other season of the year that calls forth
SIS much attention to prevailing styles and
the changes to take place in lines of wearing
apparel, especially among gentlemen, as the
spring season. This remark is Just now
applicable, as the warm days of the past
week have caused much examination and in.
quiry at merchant tsilors establishments in
reference to spring wear. At that of E. B.
Merrill, 5l6 J street, there is probably dis
played, in his show window and on counters,
the finest goods that have ever been brought
to the city. He has just received, from first
hands. direct from Paris and London, numer-
GUS new styles OF csssimeres corkscrew dag
onals, tweeds and plain cloths for dress suits,
which are simply beyond anything yet seen
in this market for rare quality and attractive
ness. A large stock of the very best Amer.
lean manufactures are also just received for
the spring trade. These, with the every.
where acknowledged par excellence Of the
fitting and making of dress and business suits
for which this establishment is in reputation
almost without q rival, will secure close at
tention to the show-window display referred
to.

Seaman in Friend and Foe -

The appearance Of the talented Irish
actor, W. j. Seaman, at the Theatre this
week in his well-knOwn play, ''Friend
and Foe" will be an event in theatrical
affairs. The Chicago Ne,rs says Of his
engagement in that city;
mot a seat has been found empty, and
frequently standing room could hardly be
obtained. A more remarkable thing is
that. for once, the people were right, and
the entertainment was worth all the pat
ronage it received. Mr.. w. j. Seaman is
a young Irish actor of superlative merit.
He is handsome in person, polite in man.
ner. exquisitely neat and clean in cos
tuple. PLAYS with a freshness and spirit
NOT often seen. sings with fiute-like
voice a repertoire of well-selected songs,
and has a piece exactly suited to his
stvle. Dramatically he is superior to
Murphy: unsteady he excels Emmett, and
having the advantage of novelty should
draw equally we'll at any theatre in
America. He is, in Irish roles, the COM
inc man, and all the Iirst-class houses
will before long be anxious to give him
