ELABOR ATELY DRESSED MAN.

From the Pittsburo Dispatch.
BERLIN, May 2S.-The wardrobe Of no
modern sovereign has attracted more at
tention than that of the German emperor.
On all bis recent travels. wherever he went,
be became conspicuous by his continual
change OF dress. OF course, the emperor
has oftsner the occasion to change his cos~
tune than an ordinary mortal. He might
arrive, for instance, in Kiel, the chief Ger
man port of war, in travelling costume, re-
view the marine in uniform OF
a German admiral, then visit the
various schools in civilian dress,
dine on q foreign man-of-war In the
uniform of an admiral of its nationality and
in the evening give reception in some gala
Dress The emperor is known to have made
as many as ten or twelve changes in eighteen
hours Those who have become acquainted
with the fact do not know whether to ex-
cuse it as whim or attribute it to extreme
nervousness. That his wardrobe under
these circumstances has reached gigantic
dimensions is easy enough TO understand.
1t contains at present over 1000 dresses
They are divided into six classes:
THE EMPERoR's DIFFERENT COSTUMES.
/ Military costumes, including all the
different uniforms of the highest ranks OF
the German army, with collection of mod
ern swords which has hardly Its equal in
Germany.
2. Court dresses, under which category
all the dresses for great ceremonies are
classified excepting the coronation robes
with scepter aud crown, which are taken
care of specially. 1t includes also the uni
forms of all the different orders, like the
order Of the Black Eagle, of the Garter,
etc, as also the costume for the Torchlight
Pol0naise at great festivals, which is en-
trely Of silk with knee pants and gartered
hose.
g. Civilian dresses, among which the dress
suits and high colored walking costumes of
English cut play leading part; it contains,
besides every piece Of dress that is worn by
fashionable men at present, with the excep-
ton OF a dressing gown which the emperor
never wears. He rarely uses fine smoking
jackets. To this category also belong the
inoognito dresses and the Freemason's
costume.
l. Sport dresses, which include bathing,
riding, driving, sleighing and skating cos
tunes and then the large number of hunt
iog costumes from the Tyrolese to the Rus
sian fur gear for hunting.
s. Dresses of courtesy contain all the
uniforms Of foreign regiments whose honor
airy chief he is, besides all the costumes he
is obliged to don in visiting foreign courts,
it being a custom on such occasions for the
visitor to appear in the hosts favorite COS
tune and vice versa at the first meeting.
Even Chinese and Japanese court dresses
are not forgotten. The only national court
costume he has not worn is the French. Or
all these costumes duplicate exists in case
Of an accident.
6. Under wear and minor articles
MINOR ESSENTIALS OF HIS TOILET.
There are twelve dozen of every piece of
underwear, and of socks and handkerchiefs
no less than fifty dozen. As he does not care
for silk, his underwear is Of merino, with
the exception of the socks. which are of
silk His handkerchiefs are OF batiste, and
as rule he uses them but once. A number
of embroiderers are employed all the year
round to make the initials, etc.
As ne is not fond of jewelry his wardrobe
only contsins a limited selection of cuff
buttons and studs, all In gold and diamonds.
The number Of gloves on the contrary, is
very large; there are ohamois gloves for
driving, beaver for riding. dog SKINS, white
lamb skins and the innumerable white kid
gloves for uniforms that are worn but once.
Ia civilian dress he uses gloves of a dis
tinctly different color to the suit.
He has a numberl of canest that are but
seldom used, and, strange to say. the UNI
brellas are but three in number, which
have been kept closed SO long that they
would surely appear streaked if opened ac-
cldeutally. The emperor never uses one
as he has really no opportunity, either rid
ing or driving out, and then generally in
uniform.
And who has the care of this gigantic
wardrobea A special system of manage
ment has been introduced, which has been
80 we'll regulated to its smallest details that
1t works like clock. The marshal of his
domestic affairs superintends the wardrobe.
1t is his duty to make himself acquainted
with the latest fashions and suggest them
to the emperor, who is in no way an in-
ventive mind in fashions, aud rather fol-
lows other authorities, choosing what he
deems best.
LIKES TIGHT-FITTING CLOTHES.
The emperor, however has decided likes
and dislikes. Everything must be tightly
lifting; the trousers scarcely touch the
boots he has also great aversion for the
short overcoars and narrow, pointed shoes.
When he was invited by the Emperor Of
Austria to hunt in the Tyrolese mountains
he gave the order for several suits worn by
the Tyrolese mouutaineers. The marshal
remarked to the emperor that, although his
majesty could boast of well-built figure,
he would not look to advantage III the
tight-ftting Knee-breeches, mountain shoes
AND CATERS, leaving the knee bare, of the
Tyrolese To which the emperor brusquely
replied: Don't trouble yourself about my
taste. II order a thing it means that it
has to be done"
All the Leading railors of the larger cities
offer their services with the greatest induce
ments, and are triumphant if they get at
least one order. as it entities them, after
hling 1t satisfactorily, to the right OF ad-
vertising themselves: Taller to His Maj
esty," etc. -Four times year the marshal
himself takes the emperor's measure, not
only for costumes but also for shoes, gloves
and hats, providing for any changes that
might have taken place in his majesty's
hRure For boots and shoes slippers he
never wearsl the annual expenses amount
to 10000 marks. They are made by the
BEST shoemakers and bear on the soles, like
every other piece OF his dress, except the
lnoognito costumes, the HohenzoIlern coat
of arms.
T9EY FEAR wILHELM's TEMPER.
AS the emperor very easily loses his tenn
per In matters concerning his toilet, the
shoemakers are in continual fear that one
or the other might not fit perfectly well
the first time. which would undoubtedly
result in their losing their high customer.
de never stays more than a week in a
place, so his costumes are slowed away In
rosewood and ebony chests in the care of
Two Wallets, the body servants OF the en-
peror, one Of whom is an old man and has
