THE CLOTHES AND THE MAN.
How Various Kinds of Men are
Known by their Dress.

New York Mail and Express.1
As rule. physicians carry themselves
with marked dignity. They dress In fine
diagonals, with rich black Kersey top coat
in winter. Sometimes they wear fancy
cashmere vest. In hats, gloves and boots,
they are exceptionable and extravaganza.
Their neck scarfs are the richest and linen
and cambrics the finest Lawyers, especially
famouSones, are the worst dressers in the
world. They usually affect something black
and usually choose the first goods that come
to hand, They seldom order new suit un-
til the old one grows shabby. Hats--shock-
ingl some OF the worst tiles in this town
are seen on the heads of our most eminent
lawyers. You can hardly get them to come
and try on suit. 1t must be sent to them
at once, whether it fits or not. They don't
care how 1t looks if it goes on easily. Pros
porous business men are generally carefully
dressed; Their wardrobe is unusually large
and fashionable The true man OF fashion
is no dude. He is never pronounced. One
can always recognize the sporting man. The
racing man dresses differently from the
yachting man. The dog fancier does not
resemble the horseman, and the gambler has
a style Of his own. They differ in little
things-trinkets, linen, etc, They are ali
fond Of high collars and unique patterns.
Their abundant jewelry is apt to be in the
form OF pugs's heads or racing insignia,
They have weakness for bell crowned hats.
yellow stitched gloves and pointed shoes.
Their canes remind you of the head and
neck of a stork, with the long bill on top.
They are knowing crowd, mostly, but
about dress they are as innocent as babies
Closely allied to sporting men are actors,
from tailor's point of view But there is
really wide difference between them. The
sporting man wants to dazzle you and the
actor to overpower you. The sporting man
will distribute his magnifcence all over his
person, while the actor relies on some GER
tain popularity, such as seal-skin coat or
low cut shirt collar and wide-brimmed hat,
to produce his effect. He wants his clothes
cut, not to fit him, but to drape him. Actors
are liberal customers when they have the
money They are the fellows for new
clothes They want everything slick and
shiny, spick. ard span and brand new
They're the best tailors blocks, too, and
afford more pleasure to a true artists eve
than the merely elegant fellow who distracts
attention from his clothes to himself.

District Attorney Fellows appears to be
doing what he can to fulfil the predictions
made in regard to him by the papers that
opposed his election. They prophesied that
under his administration the Doodle alder
men would have little to fear. One of these
aldermen has been tried and escaped conyic-
ton They prophesied also that under his
administration the legislative business of his
office would be subordinate to political bust
ness. Judge Barrett has just reprimanded
him for neglecting the former to attend to
the latter. In view Of these facts Grover
Cleveland when he recalls the letter he
wrote endorsing Fellows as proper man to
conduct the legal business of New York city
must feel very much ashamed of himself.

Ii Americans are slow in erecting monu-
ments TO their heroes, they are not often
forgetful. Yesterday, after more than a
century, the memory of the typical hero of
the Revolution, the soldier who left his plow
in the furrow when he heard the news of
Lexington, was honoied by the people of his
native town of Brooklyn, which now most
famous for its historical memories, nestles
away in the northeastern corner of Connec-
ticut. The statue, which is equestrian, rep
resents Putnam in the act of leading on his
troops. The site is near the old church in
Brooklyn where Putnam rang the revou-
tonary bell and near the field where he was
blowing in April, 1875. 1t was originally
intended to place the monument over his
grave, but as this was impracticable, his
remains were removed from the old cemetery
and placed in sarcophagus built in the
foundation of the monument. Theexpenses,
both Of the erection and the dedication of
the statue, were borne by the State of Con-
necticut, as were most fitting.

came to me- did God hear my prayers, the

earnestness, and in implicit faith in His

not wishing to pass hasty judgment. AT

The tears had been slowly gathering, and
at this point he could restrain them no
longer. They welled forth in a torrent
from the fountain of his heart, and stole
silently down his cheeks-the pale, sunken
cheeks that betokened hunger if not starva-

LATEsr FRoN LIE vEssEL.


About ) O'Clock Monday morning
Mr.. VIM. Watkins, the coal mine man,
was walking along the sidewalk III
Lebanon, near the depot, it being very
dark, when he fell off the walk against
bundle of tools he was CARRYING. and
broke two of his ribs. He boarded the
morning train and started for Port
land; but got of at Oregon City and
had the fractures reduced. MIR. Wat
kins said he would sue either the rail-
road or city of Lebanon or somebody
for damages. 4 boy who was walking
along near Mr.. Watkins at the same
time fell off the walk and injured him
self considerably, perhaps sprainine
his arm. There was no light burni,,9
at the time, though il Is said it has
been customary TO have one there.
We copy the above from the Albany
Democrat to call the attention of our
city fathers TO the necessity of provid-
ing street lights in few places where
most needed. The walk at the place
where Mr.. Watkins fell is about
two feet from the ground, and in tlie
dark a person not familiar with the
surroundings might easily fall off. Mr..
Watkins returned Tuesday night, so
we presume he was not seriously in
jured; but that does not alter the ne
cessity CT light at that point, and a
light is cheaper than defending dam
age suit.
