evening dress Of civilized man the world
over still includes the abused coat.

evening dress Of civilized man the world
over still includes the abused coat.
The trouble is with the poetic or other
wise cranky individuals who see world of
ugliness and discomfort in the swallow-tail
coat that they have never been able to sug-
gest a substitute which any sane person
would voluntarily adopt. Most of the re-
formers want us to go back to our grand
fathers times and resume their gorgeous
coats ofsilk, satin or velvet stiff with bull
ion ana embroidery, high in the collar, and
long as q woman's dress almost in the
skirt. This would involve a return to
equally resplendent knickerbockers, silk
stockings. and diamond,buckled shoes, and
powdered hair and periwigs would be sure
to follow, with the climax in cooked hat.
No, the swallow-tail coat is sensible
garment; fairly becoming to most men, and
it does not entail necessarily full dress
costume beyond the reach of man of mod
crate means. If 1t had not possessed these
palpable advantages it would not have
stayed in fashion for half century with
but trifing modification.

THE success of the New York Republi-
cans in purifying their party BY shelving
Speaker Cole for his completely in the cell
ing jobbing is illuminated, SO to speak, by
the boom of james w. Hustled as his sue
cessor. This recalls the parable of the man
who cast an evil spirit out of his house and
straightway seven other devils entered and
abode therein.

Mr.. JOSEPH PULITZER has converted
his conditional subscription of 500, 900 to
the New York Worlds Fair into an actual
one of $4,000. If the metropolis were
possessed OF more men of Mr.. Pulitzer's
liberality, it might have chance ofsuccess.
But the New York Finance Committee, COM

holding meetings occasionally while its
members are holding on to the cash without

A RECENT paper on city ventilation
saws that Pittsburg is the only city in the
country that is making no provision for
open space for its inhabitants. This does
our city injustice. Pittsburg has been.wo-
fully behind the age up to late date; but
now our city authorities are working to
remedy the lack in a way that will in few
years enable it to challenge comparison for
beauty and extent of its parks with the
entire country.

The Roundabout Way In Which Bridges
Must be Declared Nuisances.

WASHINGTON, October 1s.-Secretary Proc
tor has prepared circular Of instructions re-
specting the practice to be followed in cases
where bridges over navigable streams are said
to be distractions to commerce. When such
complaint or charge is made, the chief Of the
engineers shall refer it to the engineer officer
in charge of the district in which the alleged
obstruction is located. He shall make an ex-
animation to determine whether or not the
bridge is an obstruction, and if SO, whether or
not IL can be removed. In determining this
the person or corporation controlling the bridge
shall be given an opportunity to appear before
the officer. The latter shall report to the chief
engineers, who shall lay the report before the
Secretary of War. The Secretary, upon this
report, may order board Of officers to exam
inc the bridge, the same routine to be followed
as by the single officer.
When the report reaches the Secretary he
may hear interested parties upon the matter,
granting continuances from time to time, as
may be proper. SO that the question may be
thoroughly discussed and presented before
decision Is reached.
