LA DEMoCRACIA, pues, ha te-
nido el placer de que sus afrma-

niencia Y el interes desaparecen

existe 81 tenor de que doblemos
la cerviz, reconociendo ell inicuo
vasallaje de una inferioridad que
rechazamos, porque antes que
consentir en- esa servidumbre con

baio los oscombros de Ia casa So
larleqa, haremos trizas el estan-

cuando sobradamente 10 hayan

Esa sera Ia Ultima etapa de

seguir que Espana nos considere

pobre y muy raquftica la que solo
acierta a crear en- sus colonias
millones de siervos que 80 arras-
tren, en- vez de crear millones de
ciudadanos que Sc agiten en- la

DRESS SUITS TO RENT.
Facts About the business, tho Prices m
tho Men Who Hire Them.

Facts About the business, the Prices and
tho Men Who Hire Them.
More men than ever buy dress suits now
adays, and more dress suits than ever are
hired also. There are In New York prob
ably 90 or GO places where dress suits can
be hired. The cost varies from so cents to
So a night, depending on locality and tho
character Of the suit The wearers Of hired
dress suits Include guests In hotels and
visitors In tho city who have Unexpectedly
found need of dress suit Dress suits arc
sent daily in the season from this city to
Brooklyn and Long Island, Hoboken, Jer-
sey City and Staten Island and frequent
ly to places farther away.
There Is one establishment whose sole
business Is renting dress suits. Generally
the business is carried on In connection
with some other trade. Some men hire a
dress suit once senson, others two or
three times, and others again hire them
season after season, thus avoiding the
trouble Of keeping dress suits Of their own
in order At the establishment devoted
exclusively to the business there are kept
in stock from $50 to $50 suits. The suits
are Of good quality and fashionably out.
Tho charge runs from 50 to SO. Tho latter
price might be charged for suit that had
never been worn. A party of q dozen or
15 mon hiring together would get thom at
81. 90 each. Sometimes entire clubs, per-
haps SO or so men, hire dress suits for a
ball or reception. In such cases they get
them at perhaps 81 asuit. When strangers
want to hire dress suits, deposit is some
times required, usually $50 or $25.
The ordinary lifeof dress suit is about
two years. After that 1t Is let at lower
price, perhaps 81. 90, to be worn in anna
teur minstrel entertainments or for uses
entaling harder wear than 1t would be
likoiy to get in ordinary social service. In
their final estate the coats are sold to wait
ers for 81. so or So. Such coats may ~ in
good order and not much worn, but not
in the current style.
OF course winter ia the best season for
this business, but there is something doing
the year round. 1t is not unusual for men
going away over Sunday to hire dress suits
to take with them, Tho best months of
the year are January and February. Tho
greatest demand of all comes on the nights
of tile great public balls.-Ncw York Sun.

The Bishops Reception.

A good story is told on Bishop Henry c.
Potter of New York When the bishop
visited London several years ago, he was
invited to a reception by the English
bishops at Lambeth palace. He was ia
miliar with tho conventional costume of
the highest order Of the English church,
and In order to do honor to his hosts or
dered from fashionable English tailor an
English bishops full outflt-full skirted
coat, knee breeches shovel hat silk apron
and all the rest of It. He donned this at
tire with some trepidation, but sustained
and soothod by unfaltering trust in his
intuitions of propriety drove to the recep-
ton in a comfortable frame Of mind.
What was his horror to discover every
other bishop present wearing long black
doeskin trousers and minus aprons and
shovel hatsl Out of consideration for
their American visitor the English bishops
had all donned the costume with which
he was most familiar.

BAKERS RAseAllTlEs.


n Il Believed They Have Not Yet All
Come to Light.
NEW YORK, Nov. $50 far as learned
Samuel O. Soely, the defaulting book
keeper of the National Shoe and Leather
bank, has not been arrested. A brotherof
his, 1t seems, William L. Seely, was taken
into custody by mistake and discharged
soon after.
Investigation into the career Of Seely's
dead accomplish, Frederick Baker, is still
going on, and those who are conducting it
seem 20 believe that all his rascalities have
not been discovered There seems to be
no doubt that he made away with property
OF various persons conflded to his care as
trustee, and that despite his large illegal
drawings from the bank he died a. COM
paratively poor man, 1t has been disoov-
cred that he was declared a bankrupt In
1885 and that he never received discharge.
The insurance companies in which Baker
obtained incontestible policies just before
his death are sure that he committed sui
eide. As for the chances of recovery by tho
bank from the real estate holdings which
he transferred 60 his wife, the lawyers are
still In doubt. The disclosures about his
early life as barber In Brooklyn have
astonished many of his acquaintance in
this city and Brooklyn, who regarded him
as man who had always been in affluent
circumstances. .

HARRISBURG, Nov. 2s.-Governor Patti
son issued n requisition last night on Gov
ernor Flower, of New York, for the return
to Pittsburg of George NJ. Irwin, manager
of the discretionary pool in that city, to
answer the criminal charges growing out
Of the collapse of the pool. Detective
Coulson, of Pittsburg, left with the papers,
which he will take to Albany and lay them
before Governor Flower. Irwin's lawyers
made vigorous effort to prevent the issu-
ance of requistion papers, and failing in
this have gone to New York to apply for n
writ of habeas corpus. If they do not sue
coed in this they will go to Albany and
fight the case before Governor Flower If
they lose there they declare they will ap-
peal to the federal courts

ST. JoHHs, N. f., Nov. es.-In regard to
the report that the steamer Falcon was
lost on the Virgin Rocks it can be said
that the story originated at Port Morien,
Cape Breton. The report was not verified.
The Virgin Rocks were not in the track of
the Falcon. II she had been lost there, To-
cal fishing craft would have brought reiia-
BILE news here before t,SJ. The report may
safely be dismissed as unfounded. The
consensus Of opinion here among naviga-
tors Is that the Falcon was struck by q
gale of St. Pierre on the night eff Oct. 0,
and went down with all on board.
The Falcons crew of sixteen men were
all residents Of Newfoundland, and most
Of them lived at St. Johns. Their names
follow: Henry Bartlett, captain; Edward
Tracey, first officer; Thomas Snow, second
officer; Carl Fischer, chief engineer;
Charles Rankin, second engineer; David
