FASHIONS For MEN.
The Correct Thing In Dress for IN
Opening Spring Season.

The Correct Thing In Dress for the
Opening Spring Season.
In fashion for shoes there seems to be
reaction against the use of patent feathers
for street wear.
Lightweight derbys, gray to brown in
color, are sold for summer wear They
have narrower brims and shorter crowns.
Probably more black outaways win be
worn this year. They can be made as
light and cool as the grayish.colored
coats and look far more "dressy"
The only oyercoat that will be worn
much, the tailors say, is the Chester
field" loosely.fitting, short pattern,
with open fronts lined all the way TO the
edges. The materials used ranged from
wide vale worsteds to plain grays IN
worsteds and Venctians.
The eolored shirts outdo in brilliancy
the plaids of the tailors' shops. Most of
them are made with the collar all of n
piece. Nevertheless, white collars and
cuffs may be worn with striped shirt
fronts, or the reverse.
Scarfs are bright, and seem little
broader. Both four-in-handsand made-up
ones are worn. Collars turn oyer much
the same, and are no higher. Shirts for
evening wear are made plain or em-
broidered, or in pique. Nearly all have
three buttons, though one stud is seen
oltener perhaps than two.
The Prince Albert coat still retains
moderate degree Of popularity with stout,
middle-aged mon. 1t is good for after
noon receptions, for walking and for
driving. Yet the cutaway answers every
purpose just as well, and the younger
men have almost unanimously discarded
the heavy frock coat
A cross between half dress and business
dress is the three-button, one piece cuta-
way of rough light goods with patch
breast pockets and side flaps. All other
business suits are made sack fashion.
With sack coat, as with cutaway,
fancy coat and an odd pair of trousers
may be worn. Sacks are looser this year,
with wider backs
For half dress nothing seems able to
shake the hold of the cutaways. The
three.button coat is the better model for
summer, though the four-button one is
coming into favor again. The tendency
this year is toward rolling fronts, cut
much lower. Some of them show the
silk Innings rs far as the button holes.
All sorts Of light-colored stutls are used,
as well as thin dark goods. All sorts Of
fancy waistcoats may be worn with either
three-buttoner or four-buttonor-[N. N.

"HE TRAINED TOO HARD"
What an English Friend of sheppnrd's
SAYS of Sullivan.


81 am surprised to hear so much talk
about Sulivan's failure to train for his
fight with Charley Mitchell, said Patsey
Sheppard to Boston Herald yepre-
sentative recently. "John trained as
faithfully as a man could possibly, and
only to-day received letter from a
friend in England which was mailed a
few days before the fight" The letter
was shown to the Herald man, and it
said in regard TO the champion: 81 was
down to see the big Bostonian at his
training quarters a few days ago, and
found him fit TO fight for his life. He said
he felt we'll, and | saw his muscles as
hard as the marble of that big statue you
have of him in the Hub. He was n
beautiful specimen of manhood, and
there is no doubt in my mind that
Mitchell will be terrible sufferer when
he goes into the ring. We all believe
that Sullivan will knock him out with
the first good blow sent in. No one need
fear that Sullivan has not been con-
scicntious in his training. He has
worked harder than any pugilist have
yet seen, and reduced flesh rapidly"
"There it is for you," said Mr.. Shep-
pard. He trained too hard, and that is
the reason he did not fight with his usual
vigor. ''lf he hadn't trained he could
not have stood up over three hours"

PARADOXES.
Professor Ward ON Those of n Social
and Economic Character.

and Economic Character.
AT the meeting of the Anthropological
Society held on Tuesday evening, Profes-
sor l.. +. Ward read paper entitled go
cial and Economic ParadoXcs." After
some Introductory remarks, he first an.
nounced the general paradox that "the
artificial is superior to the natural, /"
which is paradox in the sense of being
opposed not only to popular conceptions,
but to the views of the most influential
writers on social and economic ques-
tions, who maintain that in human
affairs the course Of nature must not be
interfered with. Yet in physics and BIZ
ology, and even in the ordinary affairs of
individual life, the truth of the PROPOSE
ton laid down is confirmed by general
experience. Cultivated fruits and vegeta-
bles and domesticated ANIMALS are inn
mensely superior to the same species in
their Wild state; clubs are better than fists
TO say nothing of bows and arrows and
Springfield fifles); houses are superior to
caves as places of human residence, and
comfortable clothing is vastly preferable
TO- nakedness.
In opposition to the idea that the
natural, in the affairs of society, is SUI
ferior to the artificial he laid down the
proposition that ''the intelligent control
Of the social forces is economical" as its
converse; 'the normal action of the
social forces is wasteful."
After stating number of propositions
which, in spite of their paradoxical APP
pearanee, are on examination found to be
true, or which are at least supported by
arguments of great force, he submitted
what he regarded as the most important
OF all economic paradoxes, namely, the
proposition that "increase of wages re-
suits in increased profits" This theorem,
he said, had been carefully elaborated by
MIR. George Gunton in his recent work
entitled 'FWealth and Progress" and any
believer in the old idea that profits mus
fall as wages rise, and vice versa, would
he thought, alters a carefulIreading of thi.
book, be at least forced to admit that
there are two sides TO the question.
The main argument may be summarized
as follows: Increased wages means in.
creased power of consumption on the
| part of the largest body of the people; in
creased consumption means increased de
mand for products, which, in turn, sup
| plies increased stimulus TO production
| This arouses invention, which supplies
| improved machinery and brings abou
| increased production in proportion TO tht
labor expended. BY somewhat similar
| line of reasoning he supported the propo
sitions also advanced by Mr.. Gunton
that a reduction of hours tends to increas,
| production, and that ii also tends to in
| crease wages.
The paper contained many very inter
| esting points, which cannot even be re
ferred to in this brief abstract, and afte
some discussion was followed by shorte
one from Edward T. Peters, critlcisinl
| certain points in the generally received
| doctrine in relation to economic rent.
