Astonisiinr Appropriation of Overcoats BY
the Hen. w. u. Evnrta.
For the last week an emissary Of the Hon.
William Maxwell Evarts has been poking about
the two big towns of New York and Brooklyn
In an endoayor to get that eminent statesman
out OF an unpleasant clothing tangle in which
he began involving himself at the Lincoln din
ner, u week ago Saturday night.
The present generation is fully familiar With
he kind Of an overcoat worn by the senior
6,nator Of New York State. 1t Is a clinging,
tlftting armen whose only redeeming quail
ity is that 1t compares beautifully with the
kinl Of q plug hat that Mr.. Evarts affects. In
the excitement Of getting ava from belmont
eos the Senator forgot his familiar protector
and uawled into somebody else's.
He wore 1t home. Then Monday. when start
ing fos Brooklyn, he could not lnd the ancient
habilinent, Of the loss OF which no was quite
unconscious. and he. took one belonging pre-
sumptfely to one Of his numerous progeny. 1t
was thesame coat he had worn from belmont
CO.'S.
When he sentence weaver came to fee from
Brnoklynhe got into another coat, leaving the
Delmonl@ substitute In its stead. and failed to
discover tue error until he reached home. This
coat had c.ecks and bank books and valuable
things In 10 pockets. The emisssry Is trying
to unrasel 81 this. and the Senator Is wearing
