EScAPADE OF AN INSANE MAN.
He Left the Asylum and Soon Dissipated
a Large Sum of Money.

The police were Informed last evening
that William F. Powell, an escaped in
mate of St Elizaheth's Insane Asylum, had
returned to that Institution of his own
accord. Powell is said TO have been an
army officer and has always been regarded
as a 'trusty'' by the asylum authorities.
He received a large amount Of money
several days ago, and quietly left the
asylum, when the vaichmen Were off their
guard He made his way down town
and hiring fast team proceeded 10 make
a candle light tour of the tough quarters
of Washington.
Some OF Powell's eSeapades were related
last night by young man who figured as
the demented army officers guest and en-
joyed the fruit of his purse.
The first place visited was 'tBlood-
field" where it is said the two men visited
several shanties, passed around a big bot
tie of COgpac, and paid the colored female
inmates to give an exhibition ef skirt
dancing.
Later in the night he appeared uptown
and spent his money freely in resorts where
he kept the pot of fun bubbling fast and
furiOusly until daylight.
Powell finally fell in with Il gang of
tough men, who. it is said, relieved him
ofthe remainder OF his money and his hand
some gold watch. When he returned to
the asylum, after having heard the song of
the midnight syTen, and with but a slight
recollection of how he fell into the / ards
of the PhilistineS, he presented a rather
used-up appearance, and the asylum au-
tborities viii keep more strict watch over
his movements in the future.

EVENING DRESS FOR REN.
Another Organized Attempt TO Vary Its
Monotonous Black and White

Another Organized Attempt TO Vary Its
Monotonous Black and White
Once more is an attempt to be made TO re-
form and regenerate the somber garments
worn by gentlemen as evening dress, says
the London Telegraph. This time the
innovators are the Healthy and Artistic
Dress Union, who in their organ, Aglaia,
give a sketch of a man as he ought to ap-
pear arrayed for the important function
called dinner.
The dress consists of coat and knee
breeches of velyeteen, wa istcoat, silk
stockings, and buckled shoes. The color
is left to the wearer's choice, hut quiet
shades, such as brown, purple, bronze,
rusSet, bottle-gTeen, or black, are recon-
mended to begin with. and ultimately more
pronounced tints may be used as public
taste is educated to an appreciation OF vel
yeteen symphonies. The wajstcoat should
be OF stout, creamy white silk, corded,
brocaded, watered, or otherwise.
II sstrongly urged that the shirt should be
OF white Corah, thinner and softer than the
waistcoat and preferably whittier. This
should be ornamented with turned-down
collar and with frilled cuffs hanging down
low upon the hand, the coat sleeve being cut
rather short in order TO display them fully.
The tie is OF thin white silk, OF, if dis
pensed with, a feature must be made OF
the studs Harmony should be preserved
betwes2 the veIyeteen and the silk stockings,
but the latter need not necessarily be of
the same color as the upper garments. To
add to the effect OF this dress, tie hair, ac-
cording to the illustration, should, when
pOSSible be worn long.

A remarkable fact was that the speaking was

that the easiest way to be wise is to be with
