The Division OF Clothes.

One Of Sam Jones best stories is ON
his wife. Being asked by an ac-
quaintance how things got along at
home, Sam replied: Me and my
wife never have any trouble because
we started right. When woke up
the morning after we were married,

The term "doublet" during the
middle ages had been a generic
name for male outer clothing, the in.
ner tunic being then called the waist
coat; but when for garments worn
open in front the word coat" began
to be employed "waistcoat" and
''doublet" became used interchange
ably to denote the underdress At
the effeminate court of Henry III
men as far as possible had copied
the Medici toilets Of the ladies, and
the doublet, or closed jerkin, was re-
introduced into England during Elizr
abeth's reign In the shape of a pad
ded and pinched imitation Of the
Medici bodice, and the doublet form,
belted round the waist, fastened at
the throat and finished there, wheth-
or by a ruff or falling collar, held its
own, both in this country and in
France, for the next hundred years,
when (unless we consider il to have
lately revived under the guise of the
Norfolk Jacket it was finally con-
quered by the juste-au-corps.
Not only the bodice Of the Medici
dress, but its farthingale also, in the
shape of grotesquely padded breeches,
was as far as possible pressed into
the service of masculine costume
during the latter part of the six
teenth century, and as this clumsy
fashion recommended itself particu-
larly to James l as protection from
the assassination of which he lived
in constant dread it survived
throughout his reign, and only gave
way to a fresh importation from
France on the marriage of Charles j
with Henrietta Maria. Edinburgh

Presbyterian Assembly Paid
$50, 900 to Convict Briggs.
OR. m'olYnN DOING PeRANce.
The Famous Preacher of New York In .
kentucky 1ssppiss Noaastsry-
Nebfaska Omelals Innoeont.

WAsHYSaroS CrrY. June SIT is gener-
ally agreed among Presbyterians promi-
nenriy connected with the Briggs case
that the expenses incurred during the en-
tire progress of the case from the initiatory
stage until the general assembly disposed
OF it last week amounted TO . large sum.
but it is almost impossible to make an esti-
mate of the total amount with accuracy.
Some light is thrown on this subject. how
ever, by Rev. DIR. Bartlett, who was chair
man Of the local COMMITTEES Of arrange
ments for the general assembly. DR..
Bartlett SAYS the board bill alone
of the 200 commissioners of the assem-
bly,. which number the local committee
promised to provide for, amounted to 500
day and therefore the two days trial of
DR.. Briggs in this city cost the local COM
mittee 81. 500. There were. however. more
than 800 delegates to the assembly, and
while the trial consumed, properly speak
ing. only two days. the case really ex-
tended over more than double that period,
so $4,000 is nearer the mark than 81 800.
Dr.. Bartlett is Of the opinion that the
estimate made by some of the commission
ers that the Briggs case from beginning to
end cost the general assembly about $780,
600. is nearly correct. Col. McCook. Of
the prosecuting committee, is . wealthy
man and spent out OF his own pocket,
according to Dr.. Bartlett's opinion, at
least 900.

PORTLAND, June s. Special. - Vice
Consu Laidiaw's dispatch to the British
minister at Washington City, in the case

was not without itsa fiect. On Saturday
nobody about the Federal buildings had
any idea that any assistance was due to
the Danube's captain in plotting his
habeas corpused passengers up to Judge
Beliinger's courtroom. Today, however,
deputy United States marshals were
ut the dock where the vessel
lay to perform that duty. This change OF
front was due to kilograms from Attorney
General Olney. instructing the marshal to
furnish what aid the captain needed in
conveying his men back and forth between
the vessel and the court room and also in
structing the United States district attor-
ney not to resist tho application should 4
request be made for deputy 10 guard the
corpus examination.
From these kilograms It is evident that
Pauncefote laid the case before Gresham,
who in turn brought the matter to the
attention Of the attorney general. The
latter's telegram to the dbtrict attorney
indicates misunderstanding of the situa-
ton, or else mode of procedure unhesrd
of here has been suggested. Nobody here
wants any deputy marshals aboard the
Danube. for they are sufficiently guarded
by customs officers. The proceedings in
the cases before Judge Bellinger today
were postponed until the certificates IN
the hands Of the collector can b turned
into the court on subpoena issued today

TACOMA, June g. - Especial - Judge
Hanford today decided that the writ OF
habeas corpus issued by Judge PritchArd,
of the state superior court. upon which
three Chinamen were removed from the
steamer Victoria. was not valid. He did not
hear the case on its merits on the process
issuing from the state court and he or
dered the three Chinese placed in the
custody Of the United States marshal to
be deported to China on the vessel which
brought them here. In the meantime he
will allow them to show cause why they
should not he deported and on Wednes-
day Snell l. Johnson will argue the case
for the Cinnamon and they expect to hold
their clients here.
On Wednesday there will be aeveral
Portland Cinnamon here, so the counsel
for the Cinnamon say, who will swear that
the three Cinnamon have been in business
in that city. The government officials are
also confident that they can show
that the Cinnamon are not Port
land merchants. In referring to Judge
Pritchards writ, Judge Hanford stated
that 1t had undoubtedly served the pur-
pose for which il had been issued. The
writ was ineeniously prepared. he said.
and in it it was made to appear that the
state court might have duty to perform
in issuing il. Judge .Hansord felt called
