Michael Doran, who had corner on
federal patronage until recently, dresses
like well-to-dO country merchant. He
has always adhered to the old styles
and never concerns himself about the
changes that Dame Fashion inflicts on
the community every few months. Mr..
Doran wears the Old-faShiOned, double
breasted vest with rolling collar, coat
and trousers of brown or black goods. a
! blue or black Stetson hat and pair OF
fine calf boots.
Col. Allen, of the Merchants hotel.
decks out his portly frame in the finest
of broadcloth. He wears his vest low,
out of respect for the good old days,
and a plug or SLOUGH hat rides grace
fully his Uranium. The colonel's linen,
of which he makes great display, is
immaculate in its WhiteneSS.
Mayor Smith is what might be called
good dresser. He pays little heed to
the whirligig of fashion, and dresses
according to his own taste. The char
acteristic features of his apparel are a
velvet vest and SLOUGH hat, which he
wears nearly all the season round. A
neat-ftting Prince Albert coat of fine
broadclOth sets off his figure to per-
lection.
L. L. kaVanagh. the candidate Tor
alderman from the Fourth ward, has the
reputation of being very neat dresser.
He follows the fashion to some extent,
but is not slave to it by any means,
using his own judgment about
such matters, as he does in all
others. He was once clothing man
himself, and he can size up piece of
goods at a glance. His taste runs to
fine Scotch and Irish goods, and he al
ways has his work done by the most
fashionable tailors.

Here can be found every little eccen-
tricity and idiosyncrasy the individual
possesses. The solid business man
wears good substantial clothes, usually
of a darkiSh color, just such clothes, in
fact, as you'd expect sensible man to
wear.
The society young man, who spends
one-half his time in thinking of what he
is going to wear and the other half in
doing nothing, is guided altogether in
the matter of dress by the requirements
of the latest fashion plate, and he would
as soon think of deviating from this alb
Surdity as he would of missing one of
Mrs. Rosewater's delightful germans.
Then, there's the dude, that product of
Anglo-maniaism that infects the streets
and places of amusement, to the dis
gust of everybody, including himself.
ITS STYLISH, YE KNOW"
is his motto. They (the clOthes) are
loud, very.lOud. Baggy trOwserS, turned
up at the bottoms, with broad stripe or
wide check; a very tight-ftting coat of
some odd material; vest, cut away to
shirt front and portion of the suspend
ers; add to these patent leather shoes,
a buck-horn cane, and single eye
glass, and you have dudes wardrobe
complete.
The crank is as crotchetty about his
dress as he is about everything else.
He tries to look as different from every
body else as possible. and he generally
succeeds. He may wear a black coat and
gray trowSser to-day; he may reverse
the order tomorrow by wearing gray
coat and black trousers. And so he
goes, shifting and changing in accord
ance with his whimsical notions.
1t takes all kinds of people to make a
world, and of course, one expects to find,
in city of the size of St. Paul, men
who dress we'll, badly. and indifferently.
1t is pleasing to note, however, the num-
Der or the class first named as largely in
the majority and far outnumbers the
other two. Indeed, some have given it
out that St. Paul is ahead of the neigh
bors in this respect as in any other.
Take glance at some of the we'll known
men.
w. R. Merriam. the candidate for gov
ernor, is as neat and tidy as you get
them, and if faultlesS wearing ap-
for gubernatorial honors, he would get
there by big majority. Mr.. Merriam
usually wears long brown Newmarket
overcoat, always buttoned to the throat.
A shining tile tops off very elegantly
dressed man.
P. 81. Kelly is O. K. in his dress. He
always wears good clothes, but being a
short, purSy man, he is hard to fit. He
wears low shoes in summer.
George Thompson and G.. S. Bartram,
of the Dispatch, are the most expensive
dressers in the city. They have just

which is left out to make display of one
of those double, back action. sugar
scoop hats.
Judge Flandrau goes in for comfort in
dress, though keeping an eye to the
eternal fitness of things. Though
tall man, the judge usually wears
sack coat of blue cheviOt, which is
kept unbottoned. In the summer he
blossoms out in ''On the beach at Long
Branch style, and he guards himself
against the fierce rays of the sun by
large umbrella. which he keeps hoisted
sun. He dotes on low shoes.
r. P. O'COnnor, clerk of the district
court, keeps his athletic frame clad in
costly and well-ftting garments. Money
is no object to Dick in dress, so long as
he gets a good fit. Of late he has
switched off from wearing frock coats,
and now appears in sack coat. Blue
is bis favorite color.
Judge William T. Kelly dresses taste
fully, though modestly, as becomes the
exalted station he occupies. His clothes
are generally of some dark material,
| and he prefers the soft SLOUGH hat to all
others. In summer sun umbrella is
his constant companion.
COl. CROOKS dresses WIFI military pre-
\ cision, and always looks every inch the
soldier. He generally wears a blue
/ frOck coat which he keeps buttOned at
all times, be the weather hot or cold.
He always wears a silk hat with wide
black band around it.
''The Mcclure brothers, they must be
taken together, for they have never
been seen apart, are what might be
called odd fellows in matters of dress.
What their summer dress is remains to
be seen. In winter they wear mink
coats of prodigious length. Their char
acteristic feature, however, is their
head gear, which consists of couple of
antiquated 'plugs" of the vintage of
40. In other respects they are doing
quite well.

1t Didn't Take Long.

Philadelphia Times.
Outsiders may consider Philadelphia
slow place. but in some matters it can
hold it's own against most American
cities. For example, here is a true
story of courtship and marriage that
took place last week. A certain young
lady went out on Wednesday morning
to make some calls. Ge her way she
met a friend who suggested that she
should go to the matinee with him. She
accepted the invitation and he bought
the tickets. At the end of the first act
he proposed to her. She refused, think
ing he was only joking. When the
curtain went down for the second act,
he renewed the proposal, and SO earn
estly that she asked time to consider it,
which was willingly given. No sooner
was the third act finished than she softly
murmured Eyes" After the matinee
was over the engaged couple hailed a
passing street car and crossed to Cam
den, where they were married. The
whole affair occupied three hours and
fifty minutes.

BYGONES.

Ye doubts and fears that once we knew,
lie bitter words, of anger born;
Ye thoughts unkind and deeds untrue,
Ye feelings of mistrust and scorn,
Against your memory we rebel.
We have outlived your foolish day
No longer in our hearts you dwell.
Bygones! bygones! pass away!
But oh ! We joyous smiles and tears,
Endearments fond and pleasures past!
Ye hopes of life's first budding years.
Ye loves that seemed too bright to last!
Ye charities and words of peace
Affections sunshine after rain
Oh, never let your blessings ceasel
Bygones bygones! come againl

Saloon Keepers Responsibility.

A recent decision of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, to the effect that saloon
keepers may be held legally responsible for
any injury, loss, or damage suffered by
their patrons or visitors in their saloons
will, if enforced. impose hereafter addi-,
tional care upon saloon proprietors for the
orderly conduct of their establishments.
The language of the Court is very clear and
explicit, as follows:
Where one enters saloon or tavern,
opened for the entertainment of the pub
lie, the proprietor is bound to see that he is
properly protected from the assaults or in
suits Of those who are in his employ, as
we'll as of the drunken and vicious men
whom he may choose to harbor."
AS alcohol induces with many who tam
per with it type of 'insanity" or frenzy,
wherein they are very liable to commit acts
OF violence, there will be no safety for sa-
LOOM keepers under this judicial ruling but
in providing special police guardians for
the protection of their less drunken patrons
and guests. But this decision will serve
also to reveal in still stronger Light the
inconRruity and injustice on the part of the
State of legalizing at all traffic the out
come of which is so liable to be violence
and crime.-National Temperance Aduo-

He but voices whnt millions of his fellow
citizens. many of them protested members

When the Councilmen of Erie, Pa, the
other day petitioned the judge to grant all
licenses applied for, because of the high
fee now imposed i'll that State, they did SO
because there was money in it. When Mr..
Dutield, of Detroit, the unworthy son of

Michigan to defeat Prohibition and con-
tinue the saloon, he based the strongest
part of his argument on the fact that

Ohio few years ago, "and so we'll vote
for the saloon" "Theres money in it,"

1t is lie. There is not even money in
it-not cent nor mill. For every dol
lar of the millions that are counted up as
profits in the public. treasury comes from
whom? From the people Of the common
wealth. The traffic has created not one
cent of wealth, but has destroyed millions
of bushels of grain, and tens Of thousands
OF human beings at the end of every year,
and all it has done has been to transfer
money from the pockets of the people to
the Treasury, keeping two dollars for
every one transferred. Where is there

The First Recruit.

There has been much speculation as
to who was the first volunteer who re-
sponded to President Lincoln's call
for troops. We think we are in u
position to set this matter at rest, and
to "render unto G csar the things that
are C;psar's."
On the sixteenth of April, 1861, when
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, the
day after tho Fort Sumter affair,
called for three companies from the
counties of MitHin, Schuylkill, and
Berks, the first recruit was Philadel-
phian, who te]egraphed his applica-
ton. He served three months with the
Logan Guard. of Lewiston, Miirin
County. This gallant mans name was
John L. Hunter, and he subsequently
distinguished himself in the Nine
teenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volun-
teers.

The South Is Ready for the New Party.

AAO A'VWVA 40 NSssuy W. VuO nv" "a Vys
There is really but one political party in
the greater part Of the South, and that is
called the Democratic party, though, in
fact, it is an amalgamation Of all the old
parties. 1t is held together not by affinity
between individuals, but by outward pres
sure. Take away the fear Of Northern
aggression, and this combination known as
the Democratic party will speedily fall to
pieces. OF the Republican party there is,
in the South, only the disiuncta membra.
It fell to pieces long ago by its essential
rottenness.
The feeling is widespread among South
ern people that another party is needed to
purify and check the present dominant
party.
Parties, like houses, are constructed out
of prepared material. The South is full
of Prohibition material of the finest quail
ity, some of it ready to go at once into the
structure. great deal Of it in process of
fitting out.
The extent of party organization in the
South this year will depend largely on the
attitude the Democratic party assumes as
to the liquor traffic at its approaching
convention. If the attitude is UNCHANGED,
there will be marked change in Southern
politics. J. B.. GAMBRELL.
