THEY FIX THINGS.
Crooked Inducements Offered
by "Suit- Club" Agents.
Legitimate TailOrS Want Protection
From the ImpOSterS.

Local tailors who for time went into
the suit club business abandoned II after
a brief trial for reasons that were satisfsc-
tory to themselves and returned 10 more
legitimate methods of securing trade.
The garment-gam bling traffic has by no
means died cut, however, as agents for
outside concerns are overrunning the city
in their search for customers. These
agents 40 not confine themselves, IL is re-
ported. to q mere statement of the posi-
bility OF getting a s35 suit for a dollar or
two, but go further and broadly intimate
that matters will be so fixed that the par
ticular person they are at the time en-
deavoring to draw into the scheme will get
his suit after a very few payments. OF
course this shows that the scheme is a
dishonest one, but that doesn't prevent
persons OF a speculative turn from taking
the bait. Some OF the city taiiors are
asking IL they pno be protected from
the competition of concerns hat resort
to such questionable methods and IL is
not unlikely that the matter will be
brought TO the attention OF the police,
who will be asked that the ~glib-tongued
agents who promise to six things be
looked after.

A Relic of the War.

Mrs. Emiline Baker, "a years old, who
lives at 141 Chester avenue, has in her
possession a memento of the war of the
rebellion, that she prizes very highly, as
it was presented to her by her son, Cap
tain Luther Baker, when he came home
on a furlougn during the year 1853. The
memento Is in the form Of a black "Hen-
~'rietta" dress, which was intended to be
worn by Mrs. JEFF Davis. Early in the
year 1863 Mr.. Baker was one of the crew
OF the United States gunboat Dacota,
and was in the vicinity of Beaufort.
One afternoon a rebel blockade steamer
was sighted and the Yankee boat rave
chase. The Confederates ran their steamer
ashore and deserted her, but not before
they set fire to IL. The Yankees soon ex-
tinguished the fire as the Confederate
boat was an iron one. Upon getting
aboard OF her the boys in blue found
that the steamer was filled with dress
and fancy goods of all kinds. One huge
box was marked Mrs. JEFF Davis, Will
mington, N. &. This attracted the atten-
tion of all, and Mr.. Baker was fortunate
enough TO secure the dress.
Mrs. Baker wore the dress on state &C.
casions and II looks as bright and new
as 1t did the day Mr.. Luther Bake took
IL from the boz.
