WHERE STYLES COME FROM.


From the American Tailor
We are always on the lookout for something
new. Sometimes we get q suggestion or hint
rom tailor Or other person, and will work on
II TIL we produce something acceptable. After
getting suggestions from tailors and Others and
considering them, perhaps getting the view Of
lady. we go off and do as many newspaper
men do, ''act as we please" 1t is well enough to
get the idea Of others, but when we come down
10 work We have to boss the job and use our
own ideas. It is one of those businesses in
which there is no well-defned method as to
originating styles. Observation and study is
required. Formerly changes were made in
February for spring and summer styles, and in
August for fall and winter, and the greatest
changes are still made at these periods. The
trade for the past ten years, a least, has how
ever, not been content with but two plates per
year, and must now have them quarterly, many
OF the foremost demanding them monthly.
me great changes are in the spring and fall
however, and the others are notifications or
Improvements on them, not radical changes.
The business Of making style has increased
within the past few and there are IRE
two or three houses. Of course, there is not SO
much change in style demanded by gentlemen
for particular sections of the country. When
we publish the plates they are sent to ever por-
t tion OF the county, and sometimes 1t is found
ton and another in another section, but, as
rule, the tastes are as much different in one

we made that even Europeans are adopting our

plates issued, and it is surprising those of other
countries. They are now ever alive for some
thing new, to have not only the latest patterns

ness. Some were content a few years ago with
modest, unassuming places of business, but
now the merchant tailor has as fine an establish

THE AMERICAN BEAUTY.
Miss Chamberlain and Her Alleged So
cial Triumph i'm England.

London Letter to the San Francisco Argonaut.
Whatever may have at any time written to
the Argond,tt Of or about Miss Chamberlain in
England has, / claim, not only been borne out
by the facts, but has been not nearly as severe
as what has been thought and said of her. She
has not been the belle and the success in Eng
land that the general run of American papers
would have one believe. What the Chamber
lains are at home or what Miss Chamberlain is
thought of in Cleveland I don't know and
don't care. Ihave only spoken Of her as she ap-
peared in England-not to society newspaper
reporters or correspondents of American jour
nols but to English people Of the best society,
dare say, stating what will surprise good
many Of your readers, but 1t is nevertheless true
that the existence Of Miss Chamberlain has

Derlain is rather common one In England, and

mired, and with whom he has firted and

from Lady Mary Craven down to Mrs. Langtry

In England the rank and position which Miss
Chamberlain claims to hold in America, to
know the Prince of Wales except in the most
dignified and distant fashion. Anything like
the public notice which he is said to have
favored Miss Chamberlain with, no English
young lady would be allowed to receive. Nor
would he offer it to one. Therefore it is that
have said, and reiterate it, that in the favora.
BILE notice which Miss Chamberlain received
from the Prince of Wales she did not gain any
credit to herself in the eyes of right-thinking
English people. To have her come over to
England and imagine that she has achieved
grand triumph because she accepted attentions
from man who would willingly-indeed far
Sooner|have bestowed them upon dozens of
English girls had he dared, seems trif1e alb
surd. Indeed, it is grotesque.

STONE FOR THE CAPITOL.

There is a feature in the character
and disposition OF GOVERNOR IRE
LAND that no man can question, and
that is his determined devotion TO the
interests and general welfare of Texas.
In every act, in every controversy in
volving her veal or her advancem emit
as a State or service TO her people, he
can DO counted on as true as the De-
mascan blade. Blows no may receiv o
for this, as was tho case in the contro-
versy with GOVERNOR McENERY, OF
Louisiana, with the Mexican gov
ernment, or with any powers or parties
at home, yet you always know where
to find him, The bent of the man Is
again Heen in his position on the capt.

himself on the position that out of

be built, II there be the requisite stone

advised and so are we that the mater
lal is with us. Only yesterday morn
ing we were informed by an exper-
fenced geologlst, thoroughly familiar
with the geological formation OF this
State, that Texas does, indeed,
possess the proper stone up
in Shackelford, Throckmorton
Baylor and some other counties. We
have, ourselves, seen it. II is a mag
nesian limestone, all durable in Its
texture and exempt from dlscolora-
ton in any exposure. Burnett and
Llano Counties are In the lden teal nc.

should be Of the same sort and OF
equal value for building purposes.

moving cause why tho contractors
run off TO Indiana for the supply. II
has been suggested and urged that
this true cause is 10 be found In
the little circumstance that TO erect
works sufficient TO get out this Texas
stone would DO expensive, whereas
In Indiana the works are already IL

received from the following counties:
Baylor, Crosby, Tom Green, Fisher,
Throckmorton, Kerr, Cara, Mitchell,
Rains, Borden, King, Dawson, An

The bids to lease cover about l,000,0OO
acres. There are 400 bids from actual
settlers desiring 900 acres.
The Matador Cattle Company to-day

their lease.

The Penitentiary Board had final
settlement with Cunningham 4 Ellis

warrant was drawn on the treasury to
meet deficiencies. There are 2,S00con-

of 100 for the month ofJune.

The meeting of the Land Board to-
morrow will be one of great interest to
enforcing the enclosure act will come
up. The Rufus Hatch Company and
other aliens have had ample oppor-
tunity TO lease the lands they have
been on and are now using, but they

claimed, simply an act OF Justice to
compel companies, such as the Mata-
dor, TO make them pay for their
grass or move TO more congenial
climate, and this II seems the board
will do, even IL the rangers have to
lend assistance. The aliens will have
to go or plank down cash for their
grazing grounds.
