have Just sold Mr.. Huntoon, the gentle
man who W III 100000 on Harrison's cleo
ton, a lot of collars and cuffs and, among
other things, one dozen suits of silk under
wear, at $40 a suit. He wears 10 or 20
inch collar, have forgotten which, but he
is a very large man. Gen. Grant was one
of my customers, and wore a II inch collar.
Gen. Arthur woi g l6 inch collar, and was
very particular in what he bought. He
wanted the latest style collars if they were
becoming, but he would not take one SIM
ply because it was in style. Both Law
renee Barrett and Edwin Boo h buy taeir
collars and underclothiug here. Barrett is
a very nice man and is particular what he
buys, but is not extravaganza. He
wears 1873 standing collar. Booth, be-
lieve, wears -. Jay Gould comes in here
quite often, and is a mighty nice man to
wait upon. He wears a IA turned down
collar and the smallest size underwear we
sell. Mr.. Blaine comes in here occasionally.
He wears Isl turned down collar. j. K.
Emmett is getting stout and wears the old
fashioned 1615 turned over style. William
Waldorf Astor is one of my regular custom
ers, and more quiet, gentlemanly man
you couldn't meet. He never buys more
than he wants, nor is he extravaganza in
his tastes. 1t is impossible to force goods on
MIR. Aston. He wears Is collar. Berry Wall
buys all of his Undertaking and neckwear
here, and always wants the latest
style. He is now wearing the latest thing
out in neckwear, viz: the old fashioned
stock. long enough to go twice aroung the
neck The ex-king of the dudes is not
spending so much money as he USED to.
Not only he has not got so much to spend
but he cannot find as many storekeepers to
trust him as ne used to. A 49, collar is
about his size, for Berry is growing little
stouter than he used to be. The late Wright
Sanford was one of my best customers, and
wore turn down 1879 collar. Mr.. San.
ford was always very neat and nice in his
tastes, but, in qliet way, was very ex-
travagant. | have sold him four dozen
linen handkerchiefs at time, for
which he paid the neat sum OF
$50 dozen. Mayor Hewitt gels hi:
things here, but his wife buys them for him.
The mayor wears Is turned down collar.

THE BABY KING OF SPAIN.
Possesses Retinue of Servants
Greater Than Any Other Infant in
the World.
From the Youths Companion.


From, the Youths Companion.
The magnificent state of the royal baby
of Spain, King Alfonso XIII, who, at p:
years, has all to himself retinue of serv
ants which is probably greater than that of
any other infant in western lands, was quite
surpassed by that of the Emperor of China
while he was still child. This great poten-
tate, from his early infancy, had in his per-
sonal service more than 500 people.
What could they oil be employed to do
Nobody but member of the Chinese court
could tell the functions of all the people;
but the list included the following:
Eighty nurses, 25 fan bearers, 25 palan-
quin bearers, 10 umbrella bearers, 80 physi-
clans and surgeons, cooks, % assistant
cooks, so servants and messengers, so dress
ers to put on and take care of the Imperial
clothes, IS astrologers, 16 governors, &C
priests. With 80 cooks and 80 doctors, it i:
perhaps a wonder that Kuang Hsu. Empe-
ror of China, has lived to be IL years old.
