BICYCLES AND DRESS CLOTHES.
Flannel Shirts and Tweed Suits Appear
at English Dinner Tables.

Flannel Shirts and Tweed Suits Appear
at English Dinner Tables.
Cycling is exercising a tremendous in
huence, and it is one which, on the whole,
will not be recuperative, but will have the
reverse effect so far as mems trade is con-
cerned. What is the point2 Why, the
men in town are dressing as they did last
summer, in tweeds and hannels, instead
of black morning coats, frock coats, sum-
mer chesterfieIds, silk hats, fancy gloves,
patent leather boots, etc. These have prac-
ticaily vanished The West End trade
said it had never made so many tweeds,
SO few extra fine coats. All this had had
bad effect both on profit and returns. 1t
is not fancy or imagination; we have
stated the actual truth without exaggera-
ton. Again, what q tremendous effect
the tweed caps and the straw hats have
had on the silk hat trade.
Again. less return and limited trade in
the more costly lines. This freedom in
dress has led to demand Tor special ma
terials, elastics, soft and withai gentle
manly. This klnd of dress is donned in
the morning that man may cycle to his
club to pay call, to 90 to lunch, for
which, by the way, he used to dress up,
and in many cases he has changed to fan
mel and to colored shirts instead OF the
costly ana elaborate dress WAlJe ones
We may like it or not, but the tendency
has been greatly in the same direction be-
fore cycling predominated as it does to-
day. AS sport it has come to stay, and
it Is swaying vaster influence than any
man or woman can nov imagine on the
STYLES, the material ana the trade. 1t is
NOT altogether hopeful. Decidedly it is
getting many into freerer ways.
Not long ago if man went out with a
lady he must put on certain kind of gar
ment, far more costly than bicycling
suit. To-day he sails forth, whether q
town or country gentleman, in soft.
tweed knickerbocker suit, till he has to
doff it for dinner, or as likely as not he
does not take it off at all. The straight
ened, particular, high drawn etiquette of
society has not had a shock in all this, but
has welcomed it. and is welcoming it still;
is looking forward to its Development in
the future This is palpable. Therefore
we are not to expect the old days to re-
turn. Men are gong largely 70 wear
tweeds, and the letters once broken in
England they will follow on the CONT
nent and in America, and it will lead to
cheapening of cloth, though this is hardly
necessary.-London Tailor.

THE LAWYERS OF PARIS.
They Have a Hard Time Compared With
American Menu ers of the Bar.


American Members of the Bar.
Lawyers in France, according TO Ro-
chester gentleman who has just returned
from a three years sojourn in Paris, do
not have such an easy time as they DO IN
this country. There, far from encourag-
ing the bright young men OF the land to
enter the legal profession, it would seem
that they are discouraged and every OBJ
stacle thrown in their path, the result
generally being that it is a rich man who
can be a lawyer.
"Under the regulations at present In
force there, says this Rochester gentle-
man, "barristers, after they have Kept
their terms and passed their bar examlna-
tons, have to pass through sort OF three
years novitiate, during which they have
the title of advocate, but have no voice IN
the deliberations Of the council OF dlscl-
pline, and are not inscribed on the Tolls
They can plead during the three years OF
probation, but it is sort of empty prlvi-
lege in nine cases out of ten. when an
eminent barrister IN France employs
junior it is generally some one inscribed
on the rolls; should he employ the pro-
bationer the honor thus accorded him
must suffice. He does not pay him.
'But he must live, and here is where
the problem comes in, which is much
more easily solved by the American or
English young lawyer than it is by his
Partisan brother. In the first place, there
is the outlay for his gown or beretta,
which comes close to so francs, unless he
prefers to hire it at the rate OF 10 cents
per day. Then he must engage some one
TO teach him department., for this is an
essential qualification in this land where
King Etiquette rules with an iron band.
The services of professor of the con-
servatorv must also be called in to train
his voice, unless nature has been kind to
him in that respect. But these expenses
are mere incidents.

A POWERFUL BANK.
Il Ranks Among the Great Financial
institutions of the


Institutions of the
State.
The history Of the Nevada Bank OF San
Francisco would form an important and
interesting portion of the history OF this
City. 1t is regarded both from its career and
the character and fortunes of its founders
as being more typically Californian than
any other financial institution we possess.
1t is one of the golden links which con-
meet the prosaic present with the palmy
days of the bonanza.
1t is one of the oldest chartered COM
merciaI banks in the City and was founded
by the bonanza kings in 1876. Fifteen
years afterward, in April, 1890, it was re-
organized by Isaias w. Hellman with a
paid-up capital of So. 100000. The results
of the new regime were conspicuously APP

years the surplus and undivided profits
attained the proportions of more than

been listed on the board it now commands
a premium of about 90 per cent, These
management of the bank.
Isaias w. Hellman, during his admins
tration as president, has won the conf
dence of the public. His acumen and
familiarity with financial questions make
him an authority often consulted on these
subjects. He is easy of access by men,
bers of the press, who are indebted to MIN
for valuable opinions on matters of public
policy.
This measure of public confidence was
manifested in q striking degree when it
became known that Mr.. Heliman would
undertake the management of the bank.
His advent was like oil upon the troubled
waters at that critical stage of the bank 8

ing and power in the financial and COM
mercisl world quickly came forward to
the number of nearly 200 and freely SUBJ
scribed for the stock.
Mr.. Heliman is president of the Farm
ers' and Merchants Bank of Los Ange-
les, and has taken leading part in the
management of other financial institu-
tons of Southern California, which have
had a successful career.

A. COLUMBIAN ANNIVERSARY
Observed by Special Services at First
Baptist Church.

The front of the choir gallery at the First
Baptist Church was draped with large
national flag last night and the services
were in commemoration of the four-hun-
Gred-andfourth anniversary of the dscov-
cry of America In his address Rev. Mr.
Ellison lkened Columbus to Caleb in the
fact that Caleb was the discoverer of Pal
estine, while Columbus made the discovery
of this continent. yet in neither sense are
those men the first discoverers of this
land said he. Columbus was however
the discoverer in the sense that he made
it possible for the old worlds visions to
Leer in upon what has become our country
We know little of Caleb except that he
was brave, some of his characteristics and
= the name of his father-in-law. That's about
all. We don't know very much about CO.
lumbus other than his characteristics
Even historians differ in the date of his
birth by ten years. They also differ on
the date of the discovery of America Some
say it was on Oct. II, others on Oct. H.
The man may be hid away in darkness or
he may be EMBODIED in light, yet you know
that he did this one great thing. He lived
just at the time when. men were begin
ming to acquire knowledge and the people
were coming out from under the rule of
the priests and the power of those terrible
monaSterieS. He lived just at the close
of the dark ages. The dissimilarity be-
tween Caleb and Columbus was that CALEB
would use what he could get while Co
lumbus was the biggest finder of oppor>
tunities and the biggest blunderer to the
way to use them. If we have opportuni-
ties we must use them. Whatever comes to
Us in the way of an opportunity it is ours.
If we don't use our opportunities and al
low them to slip by we are failures in this
world.
Grant was the wonderful man he was
because he used his opportunities. He
studied them over when they were pre-
sc nted and utilized every part of them. Co
lumbus had a wonderful opportunity to
achieve wealth when he discovered Amer
lea. but he didn't know what to do with
his opportunity. He allowed it to slip by
and died in poverty. l care not what peo>
