The Presidents Summer Clothes.

The president of the United States
now wears a straw hat and suit of
light gray summer goods. Thus the
sweltering heat has brought about
transformation in the personal APP
pearance of the head of the nation.
Up to last Monday Mr.. Cleveland ad
preserved his wonted sombreness of
garb, and had worn black broad
cloth suit and tall black silk hat,
such as he wore at the time of his in
auguration. But the .'sizzard'' ar
rived in Washington last Sunday
and Mr.. Cleveland succumbed to it
on Monday. He sent uptown for a
"a straw hat of the regulation
''sugar-loaf' top and has worn it
since. 1t has a generous brim,
though not of the granger dimen-
sions. 1t has quite marked effect
on the personal appearance of the
president, as 1t makes him look even
shorter than before. az =.
The retirement of the silk hatwas
accompanied by p change Of raiment
also. The black broadcloth suit was
replaced BY one of Light hiller's gray,
with a shaggy wools surface and faint
diagonal pattern. The president
still clings to his starched linen and
has not,even laid aside his waistcoat.
He is nevertempted towards the neg4
ligee shirt or silk sash, and in this
connection it is NOTED That there is
not negligee shirt or sash in the
cabinet. Secretary Mortop's russell
shoes are the only concession to, the
lawn tennis vote.
Mr.. Cleveland has taken. pains to
see that plenty of cool hreakes fan
him while he is at the desk.

I,atsand T;alr.

This is land of freedom, a land where
each individual feels that he has right
to do and dress as he likes. Even the
walters have insisted on tho right to
wear hair on their faces if they have u
desire to do so. And now the brakemen
of q Connecticut railroad como TO the
front on question of headgear. They
have been in the habit of wearing caps,
SLOUGH hats, derby hats and tall hats if
they chose. When an order was issued
not long ago that they should wear caps
of uniform pattern, they behaved in
q most characteristic and essentially
American way. They did not kick. They
did not strike. They simply continued
to wear each the head cover he liked best.
One Of them said to reporter, I'm
wearing Il jockey cap Of seven colors,
and shant take any notice of that fool
order" In this matter these brakemen
have shown an unusual emancipation.
They are not dominated by that love for
a uniform that is almost universal in the
human breast even in free America.
This hat episode brings to mind the
fact that, especially in hats, the Amer
lean who lives north Of Mason and Dix
on's line and between the Atlantic and
the Alleghanies is prone to follow the
example of his fellows unless an at
tempt be made to coercc him. Fifteen
or twenty years ago the eastern Amer
lean wore as great diversity Of hats as
the western or southern man. There
were soft hats, and broad brimmed hats
something like the Mexican somDrero,
and pot hats and stoyepipes. And there
were caps of all sorts and shapes, But
gradually the soft hat and the cap diSap-
peared, and two or three years ago if q
man wore anything but derby or q
stovepipe on his head he thereby pro-
claimed himself to DO from the west or
TIE south. According to our way of
thinking. the uniformity thus gained by
the men of the "effete east" at the ex-
pense Of picturesque individuality was
purchased at too great cost, especially
as tho wearing of boards declined with
| tho decline of the soft hat and the cap.
But n change has begun. Soft hats
have been coming in for year or two
in the east True, they arc limited prac-
tically to one general style, but tho tide
has set toward greater variety in hats,
anl it may be that the broad brim of
our grandfathers will yet be seen again
even on the streets of Boston and New
York.
The men of the north Atlantic states
will SEQ moro Of their fellow country
men this year at Chicago than they have
ever dreamed of before, IF as a result
they be inclined to emulate the brake
men Of Connecticut and tho men Of the
west and south in tho matter Of hats.
and, further, TO cultivate hirsuto individ.
rality, distinctiyoly forward 9tcp in
tho direction Of picturcsquenesa will
have been taken.

. ROANOKE, VA, APRIL 4, 1898.
AusrK1A,s NEW CURRENCY.

a great deal has been said recently,
in con lection with our exports Of gold,
OF the accumulation of gold by Austria
Hungary for the purpose of res toring
tho gold standard. Some account OF the
methods and progress of this expert
IN ant may be Of general interest. The
new currency of Austria is issued under
the law of August 2, 1872. 1t provides
for new unit OF value, known as the
krone, or crown. One kiiogramme OF
fine gold will contain $3.50 kronen, or
crowns. The krone will be worth about
twenty and one.fourth cents in Ameri-
can gold. The gold coins will be ten
and twenty crown pieces, worth respect
lively little moro than two and four
dollars OF our currency
An important poiu. in the new scheme
is the method adopted for replacing the
OLD currency with the new. The pres
ent aait is the ilorin, or gulden silver
coin, The face value OF which is about
fortye.ght ccnts-that is, it is worth
thai as comp pared with the American
silver dollar, 1T containing 4 little less
than half as m UGH pure silver as our
dollar. The old coins, however, are not
to be taken at face value. The basis
is said 10 have been obtained by taking
the average current value OF the form
i'll the International money market for
series Of years preceding 1892. The
n ,,rOuiIoc no trr,o
about ninety-six cents, shall equal four
crowns of the new currency, equal to
eighty-one cents in gold. In 0 Their words,
the old currency will be taken at dis.
count OF nearly IL per cent.
The law of August 2, 1892, authorizes
the minister Of finance to negotiate a
loan through the sale of per cent.
gold interest bearing bonds sufficient to
purchase gold to total OF 1873, 156 900
gold forms. In partial execution Of
this law "a loan of sixty million forms
was arranged with tho Rothschilds in
January they agreeing to take 80, OOO,-
600 absolutely and the remainder at
option. A few weeks since a popular
cupSSEiptiOu WAS ODoHeu, anu SIX nun
drcd millions wers speedily subscribed
for, SO that the whole loan was provided
for many times over The loan was
offered to the public at os19, but it is
said the Rothschilds paid only 95H.
These figures show that Austria is
paying pretty high price for the change
in her currency, and in view of that fact
it is not surprising that it has been pos
sible to take gold from the United States
at times when the rate of exchange did
not seem to justify it. 1t iswell under
STOOD that the gold for this loan has
practically all como from the United
States. Austria was able to get it for
tho very simple reason that she was
willing to pay more for it than we would
pay to keep it. The terms upon which
the ne" currency is to replace the old
throws upon the holders of the latter
the loss resulting from Its depreciation.
