CLOAK DEPARTMENT.

A great deal has been said and
advertised about Plush Garments.
We wish to add our little story.
Plush Cloaks are NOT made by
fnrriers, at least ours are not.
They are made by the best Cloak
makers in this country. 1t they
were cut in the manner that Seal
skins are, they would not fit. In
selecting Plush Cloak be careful
to take none in which the material
is cut with the pile or nap running
downward. The finest Plush made
up i'll that way is not worth SIS.
1t will mat and look shiny the first
time it gets wet. You will find
some garments in which only part
OF the material is cut properly.
This is done to effect saving OF
material in cutting. 1t will there
fore be to your interest to examine
thoroughly every part OF the Plush
garment you intend to buy. We
have a garment which we can sell
at Sic. It is a very fair garment,
but we would recommend a higher
grade at either S22 or $25. These
are of good quality, Mohair Plush.
40 inches long, quilted Satin
Rhadame lining, with A Seal loops.
Chamois pockets, etc. They are
first-class in every respect. We
have full line of higher grade
garments at $50, S35, SI5. $50. $50
and $50. The latter qualities are
lined and trimmed as well as the
be ST of Sealskins, look as well, and
will wear better.
Cloth Wraps and Garments of
every description are shown in a
splendid assortment. We offer an
excellent Newmarket made from
heavy Giace in Wine or Black, with
bell sleeves and full pleated back,
finished with handsome saddle 0rna-
ment, very stylish, at SIS. New
markets and listers frem $40 to
$50. The early part of the week
is a good time for the selection of
Cioaks. The department is not
then owercrowded, and if any al
terations are required. they can be
made and the cloak made to fit be-

There was a perceptible waning of
the political excitement yesterday from
that which made might hideoGs' the
previous day. Whether it was that the
populace had their fill Tuesday and that
the professional politicians were con-
tent TO wait a few days for the publica-
tion of the official returns, the fact re-
mains that a.! the political centers of
the city were quite deserted. A crowd
composed largely of young men,
assembled in the rotunda Of
the Hotel Ryan, where bulletins
were issued of the contests for presi-
dent, state and congressional tickets.
Attention was solely concentrated upon
the news from New York. the contest
in that state being the one Theme of
conversation. During the evening two
travelling men worked themselves into
a friendly discussion on the tariff ques
ton. Gradually their feryer rose, and
a bet was conSummated. Sl0e to $50

Strange Customs in siam.

A report has been forwarded from
Bangkok to the Foreign Office Of Jour-
ney to the Laos State Of Nan, in Siam,
toward the end Of last year. The travel
ers received some information from one
of the members Of the Sanam or court
house concerning the laws and customs
Of Nan.
For stealing an elephants killing an
elephant, or buffalo, or a bullock, the
punishment is death. Murder or house,
breaking are also punished with death.
A person detected in smoking opium is
imprisoned for three years, and for sec
ond ofense he would probably be put to
death. This system appears to work
well, there having been no execution
during the year then current, and only
one the year before, while there we're only
four ortive prisoners at the time Of their
visit.
With regard to slaves, every man Of
the lower orders must be enrolled at the
Sanam as the slave Of some master, but
he is allowed to choose whom he will
serve, and il he does not like one, he
mag re-enroll himself as the slave Of an.
other, his own name being thea changed.
A slave is fed by his master while be is
working for him, but at other times he
must feed himself. No purchase money
is paid for him by his owner. During
the fIst three days Of our stay we went
daily TO see the cremation ceremonies,
which took place in the open space in
front Of the palace, the chief and his sons
looking on from bamboo sheds erected
for the purpose.
The iirst day We saw some boxing by
young Laos, which the people seemed
never tired Of watching. Some novel
features to Europeans were the postures
aud grimaces which seemed to be con-
sidered an essential part Of the fighting,
and the use Of the feet, in which some
OF the combatants were rather dexterous,
occasionally dealing their antagonists q
smart blow in the face with them.
On the second day, in addition TO the
boxing, q game was played which bore
some resemblance 10 foot ball. A large
cocoanut, well creased, was thrown
among q number Of young men, who
then struggled to get possession Of Il.
and the one who managed to get away
with tito the other end Of the ground re.
ceiyed a prize.
After the ceremony Of throwing lines
containing 2-anna pieces among the
crowd had taken place, the 'prasat, 2 or
wooden structure containing the urn,
was borne aloft on the shoulders Of about
ninety men, and carried out 10 q place
on the bank Of ariyer, about quarter
Of mile from the walls, followed by
long procession, in which were the sons
Of the chief, with their attendants. In
accordance with the barbarous custom
prevalent here, the ''prasatp was opened
and the body taken out and stripped Of
all its coverings before the pyre was
lighted BY the Uparat. Pail koa Ga
