Dress Of she English Swell.


This Is the great shooting season for Great
Britain. and the Highlands are full OF gentlemen
hunting I have seen hdndreds OF men on their
way to their estates for this purpose, and the
boats and cars are full OF tiien dressed for the
inoOrs. There Is more Individuality OF dress In
England and Scotland than In America. Every
man has his suit cut TO please himself, and
favorite costume is short sack coat, pantal0Ons
rather full above the knee and fastened tight
around the leg Just above the calf. Then pair OF
long, thick wOolen stockings come up to where the
knee breeches end and the feet are clad In strong
shoes. This makes a very stylish costume, II the
wearer IL tall and has good legs. IL
IL worn everywhere, and even gentlemen
going about with ladies on the street are 80 clad.
Add to this a helmet cap or derby, AMI you have
pretty fair Idea OF one class Of Scotch or English
dress. Many OF the swclls about the watering places
wear clothes Of c0lors as bright as those of Dolly
vardens, and have seen some young men clad In
Wide red and blue stripes OF soft flannel, others In
Jackets OF plush and velvet. There seems to be a
much larger gentlemen OF leisure class here than
with us, and In the TrOssachs and about Locf

The discussion of the proposed stretching
out of Massachusetts avenue into the open
fields may serve to settle the question Of
what kind of development this city most
needs at present. There are many who
think that qualification in the centre is
more desirable than the rush for speculation
in suburban land. Both processes may 60
on together, but not by throwing all or too
much energy into the suburban idea.
Washington will be a grander city when the
many vacant or worse than vacant lots now
to be seen on all sides are covered with
buildings worthy of their surroundings
and when the streets in front of them are
placed and kept in good condition. So long
as investors think more money is to be made
out toward Tenleytown they will con6ne
their outlay to that direction, especially
when they are favored by such encourage
ment as the Massachusetts, avenue scheme
Handsome suburbs are an agreeable Incl
dent to a city's growth, but they ought tc
be the frame to handsome picture, the sur
roundings Of solid nucleus Of bullt-up and
well-paved streets.

II Public Printer Benedict wants TO do a sensible

the Record. Mr.. IIackman is a thoroughly capable
printer and a sound Democrat The Ne,rS says Of
him:
Col B. +. Hackman, a well-known printer and
talented journalist, some years ago publisher OF the
Sunday Chronicle and later OF the american Reg
ister, of this city, Is In Washington. Col lIackman
is much spoken of for foreman Of the Government
Printing ONCE, under Mr.. Benedict. The Govern
ment could not secure more efficient and capable
officer than Col. Hackman, and his appointment
would give Infinite satisfaction to his numerous
friends, and would be recognition OF the Gull
States, which have Just claims to be considered
In connection with the position.

1t is a deplorable fact that when those
who are dealing with the public authorities
ara delinquent the penalty seems always
to fall on the innocent and long during
citizens. Thus the community suffers
whether thing is badly done or Is not
done at all, For instance, the new pave
ment ON Fifth avenue, New York, was dis
covered by vigiIant engineer to be laid in
fragrant disregard of the contract, which was
expected to make il the finest pavement in
the city. Upon notification to the contractor
he promptly stopped work, having artfully
disposed his materials 80 as almost to ruin
the shop, keepers along that now commercial
highway. So intolerable did the nuisance
become that he has been allowed to proceed
in his own style. This is nearly parallel
case with the Aqueduct bridge question
here. The holders who pro(ted by the tolls
on that autiquated structure not being
scared oil by the threat Of building an oppo.
siiion bridge, the District Commissioners
took advantage OF a serious accident to put a
general embargo on the use of the roadway
except for favored few. This is now be-
ginning TO raise a loud outcry. The bridge
lessees are not brought to terms, but people
on both sides of the river are subjected Il
great loss and Inconvenience. The addi-
tional travel thrown upon the Long Bridge
has made more glaring the defects in that.
but our advice to the public is to say little
about them. If the authorities or the rail
way companies are irritated, the first that il
known that bridge will be blocked by ere
pairs" or embargoed, and those who can
not get ferriage across the Potomac will have
TO swim OF wait for freeze.

IT Is announced as curious item from abroad
that Herr Benjamin Moore, the proprietor OF the
Berlin ACADEMY of Music." who recently died, left
all his money, 1900 Marks TO the Berlin Society
for the Protection OF Animals. lie said In his will
"As men have no hearts, leave my fortune to the
"animals," and stipulated that the Society for the
Protection OF Animals buy up all dogs employed 10
drawing carts in the city of Berlin. lie provided
also for the payment OF reward of four marks to
every policeman who brings q case of cruelty Ia
animals before the courts. 1t Is coincidence thai

Miss GAIL HAMILTON has been indulging In som,
grave reflections on the utility OF modern youne
ladies'. In her article on "The Girl OF the Period,
In last Sundays World, she expresses tho opinion
that "between the strict domestic education of ou

The Critic thinks that the conflict of opin-
ioLs and OF rival interests over the Massa-
chusetts avenue extension project, and the
similar conflict last winter over the selection
of the site for the new city post Office, show
the need Of Citizens Association. The
Critic has given many reasons in favor Of the
organization Of such an association; but this
time it reveals the real difficulty, which is
in the danger that any Citizens Association
might fall into the hands of men with axes
to grind. The SUNDAY HERALD has already
approved, in general terms, of the plan of
having voluntary organization of citizens
60 advocate the interests Of the community.
This is peculiarly desirable on account of
the disfranchised condition of the people of
the District. But there is too much reason
TO fear that any body OF the kind would fall
into the hands of men having special inter-
ests TO serve. What the Critic should do Ia
TO explain in detail the methods by which IL
would have its Citizens Association created
Then perhaps We may be able to judge
whether 1t Ia possible to organize body OF
citizens which shall be truly representative
OF the community at large, and which could

The extreme shortness of what Is too
truthfully known as the "short session" of
Congress is already bewailed in advance,
from the prospect of hasty legislation and
the neglect of many useful and important
measures. Nowhere is this more acutely
felt than in the District of Columbia. As it
seems impossible to get Congress to meet
earlier, every citizen should show an inter-
est in the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution prolonging the session to April 30.
This amendment OF course refers to Inaugu-
ration Day, in which respect its quadren-
nial benefits to those desiring to visit the
Federal City would be obvious. Its bien-
nial benefits in prolonging the ridiculously
brief period OF Congressional labor, (really
about two months after the holiday recess, J
aud incidentally, perhaps, in avoiding hot
weather work the year before and after,
would be greater. An even later date
would be desirable, but as as this has his
torical association with the inauguration O.
the first President to strengthen its chances
it is doubtless better to make the fight upoI
it. Surely there should be no objection il
Congress to submitting it to a vote of th
States. Just at this time it seems that IL,
strong partisan feeling would be involved
