New CITY Hall at st. T.ouia

The cornerstone Of the new city hall.
of st. Louis was laid recently with i'm
posing ceremonies in the presence of a
multitude of citizens. Its site is in
Washington park, and the building will
be one Of the finest architectural achieve
ments of the city. In cavity of the
cornerstone were placed a number of
state and municipal documents, copies
of the daily newspapers and specimens
of current coins of the United States.
Several addresses eulogistic of the i'm

tfront Flewl feature that is
noticeable in retrospection. And yet it
is curious fact that the slightest change
in the apparel scheme will affect the va
rious portions of it. When, for in
instance, the coats were designed to
button lower down in the lapel, the neck
wear was made appreciably larger, and
in the increased showing thereby of the
bright textures the cloth fabrics became
more subdned in order that the average
in quietude might be preserved. To be
rated aggressive in attire was deemed a
stigma above all things to be avoided by
well dressed men.
1t was in this way that the climax OF
conservatism in the belongings of men
was reached. It is an axiom in the an
nails of costume that a period of marked
decorative intention will always follow
an epoch of extreme somberness, and the
result of this subjugation Of color
would seem to justify belief that history
was about to repeat itself, for no sooner
had the quietude of the masculine dress
attained the superlative point than was
developed feeling for effects in contra
distinction thereto, as illustrated in the
latest patterns of the current season
that distinctly echo such tendency.
1t is quite clear that the era Of quie-
tude had reached its limit in the winter
of 1901. There could be no going any
farther in that direction, and to go back
would be but to traverse some Of the
ideas that were yet fresh in the public
mind.
If, then, the gamut Of variation had
been run upon the conservative basis,
there appeared to be but one thing to
do to stimulate the masculine consider
alton of personal appearance, and that
was to make a radical change.
1t is this crisis in the career of the
ultra fashionable man that has produced
the most unsettled feeling that has pre-
vailed in many years as to what form
the impending evolution will take. The
recent exploitation of those old school
types upon the stage, such as are seen in
"Beau Brummel1," and more particu-
larly "Old Heads and Young Hearts"
would make Renaissance bordering
upon those models less startling, now
that all swaggerdom has become accus-
toned to them in the viewing.
The ready acceptance Of the bell
crowned and wide, curl brimmed tall
kat-being a moderated copy of the
block of 1S40-would moreover seem to

JACKSON (NISS. CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
who began collecting money for the pur-
pose five years ago. One of the insCrip-
tons sets forth this fact as follows: ''The
noble women Of Mississippi, moved by
grateful hearts and loving zeal, organ
lied June 10, a. D. 1886, the Confederate
Monument association. Their efforts,
aided by an appropriation from the state
of Mississippi, were crowned with sue
cess in the erection Of this monument to
the Confederate dead of Mississippi in the
year 1891" An attractive feature of the
exercises was procession of COnfeder-
ate soldiers, civic dignitaries and promi-
nent citizens of the south. An immense
float, drawn by gayly decorated horses,
contained fifteen young ladies represent
ing the Confederacy and the fourteen
seeding states.
The monument, which is sixty feet
high, stands in the southern portion of
the capitol inclosure, the ground having
been donated by the legislature for this
purpose. The site is beautiful one and
in full view of the principal street of the
city. In the vaulted chamber at the
base are broad marble slabs with in
scriptions to the Confederate dead, and
lifesize statue of jefferson Davis will
be erected therein. This work has been
intrusted TO an eminent Italian artist,
and represents Mr.. Davis standing with
left hand extended in the attitude of de-
livering speech. In his right hand he
has a roll of manuscript and at his feet
lies a pile of books
Upon the top Of the shaft is the statue
of Confederate soldier, his feet and the
butt of his gun being in the position of
parade rest. His head is depressed and
his left arm rests easily and gracefully
on the muzzle Of the gun. This statue
was sculptured by J. I. Whitehead. of
Jackson, Tenn, from block of Italian
marble while he was experimenting the
erection of the monument
Among the inscriptions in the vaulted
chamber is the following: The men to
whose memory this monument is dedi-
Gated were the martyrs of their creed.
their justification is in the holy keeping
Of the God of HISTORY"

Spots on the sun.

There is no occasion for alarm because
there is an unusual, indeed an extraOr-
binary, number of spots on the sun-each
apparently a great whirlpool around
which the liquid fire rises in ridges 1000
miles high. From those ridges red arms
of fiery vapor snoot out, sometimes to
the height of POO, 900 miles; but it is not
yet proved that these produce electric
storms on the earth, and if they do ex-
perience has shown that there is no addi-
tional danger. In former years, marked
by far greater commissions on the suns
surface, this earth has continued to jog
along very comfortably.

no reason why the buttonholes should
not be somewhat larger and made hori-
zontal. as in coat, large fat pearl but
tons being adjusted in a way to faclli-
tate the buttoning. The public will be
alive to the benefcence Of any such for
ward policy the savants Of shirtdom may
choose to adopt.
Therefore it is to be seen that there is
something new under the sun even in the
treatment of so well considered subject
as mems wear in its most utihtariaz
phases.

bly,. He became member of the Do
minion parliament from the same con-
stituency after the confederation in 1867.
During the Sandfeld Macdonald-Sicotte
regime in 1862 he was solicitor general
for brief period.
Mr.. Abbott was interested in the great
Pacific railway deal as legal adviser Of
the late Sir Hugh Allan. 1t was largely
owing to revelations made by his conf
dental clerk, George Norris, that Sir
John a. Macdonald was ousted from
power. Mr.. Abbott took no part in the
exciting debates of 1878, but as the result
of his connection with the scandal he
was kept in private life seven years. He
re-entered parliament again, for Argen-
teuil, in 1880. A year later he was ap-
pointed to the senate and given the lead
ership of the government in that body.
In 1887 Sir John Macdonald invited him
to join the cabinet as minister without
a portfolio, and he kept his seat in the
council from that time forth.
Senator Abbott is looked upon as the
ablest exponent of commercial law in
the Dominion. Of late years he has not
taken very active part in politics, but
was one Of Sir John Macdonald's most
trusted advisers. He is good debater,
an excellent parliamentarian and well
versed in the subtleties of practical
politics,

The average man-tell it not out OF the

pulling his undershirt over his head and
the dread of the unpleasant process OF
DOMINIC one freshly Numbered and
shrunken.
The shirt-to speak more literally, the
outer shirts another article Of mems
wear in which there has been an aching
void so far as the introduction OF new
ideas is concerned. While progressive
strides have been made in the general
wear of men during the past decade, the
shirt has not kept apace.
That the shirt of today is an awkward
and barbarous habiliment to get in and
out of no one will deny. 1t has been toll
Grated by civilized community merely
because the defects seemed inevitable.
Meanwhile the latter day song Of the
shirt has developed into an every day
anathema of morning tide. The average
man that fights his way through barri-
cade of mucilaginous laundry work
will inveigh unconsciously upon the trib
ulations of life, and go down stairs to
quarrel with his breakfast. The print
tive profanity provoking primeval prin-
ciple of pulling it over ones head should
be obviated, and it would only need a
little enterprise to bring this about.
AS it is, of necessity it is the only gar
ment that does not conform to the fig
ure, for the material is non-yielding,
and the fullness that wrinkles about the
body is essential in putting on and TAX
ing off the shirt in its present condition
Of development. In the influx of new
materials during the past two seasons
the traditions of makeup have been
strictly adhered to. 1t is difficult to I'M
derstand how, when the shirtmakers
were familiar with the novelties of pat
tern and fabric, the advantages of a new
departure in construction should have
been overlooked. Neglige, take it, is
significant of ease and comfort, and it is
certainly fact that in the very donning,
as now performed, these qualities are
made obsolete.

THE GOVERNMENTS STANDARD WOOL SAMPLES


Washington sept. 4.-EAward c. Greene, John L.
Houston, John T. Rich and Nicholas Manger the COM
mittee appointed by the Secretary Of the Treasury in
April TO "advise the Department what necessity exists
for renewing making additions TO the standard wool
samples OF the Government" have submitted a pre-
lminary report to the Department. The committee
believes that the standard samples should be renewed
and additions made TO them, and thinks It advisable
that the Department procure authenticated samples
OF as many foreign woods, hairs waste etc. as possible
The committee recommends that the new standard
samples b made at least double the size Of the pres
emit ones. largo percentage Of these woods can BE-
thoroughly represented By the ordinary standard sam
pies but OF the Others whole feeces should be pro
cured and retained at central point for reference
In cases Of doubt or litigation. II IS alleged that some
woods now claseed as Glass have been so improved
as to require reclassication but the committee de-
sres to any decision these woods until the
samples asked for are placed before It,
The Department has approved the recommendations
OF the committee and will act accordingly.
