A Hint to Would BE Dudes.

"There are fewer conspicuously dressed
men to be found on Broadway now than
at any time within my memory" said
a tailor the other day. THE same men
who spent money and time a few years
ago in trying to be eccentric in dress are
now going to the other extreme. They
have given up the extremely high collar
that was once a badge Of the dude, and
their clothes are now strictly conven-
tional. We are suffering from a reac-
ton, and that does not please the tailors.
In the days Of Berry Wall there were
lots of men in this town who were
spending money freely on their ward
robes in their attempts to Guido each
other. They were conspicuous on Broad
way and Fifth avenue. 1t is unusual
now to find a man in the parade whose
clothes attract attention because they
are extreme. New York Sun.

The action Of Mr.. Olney in instruct

above one of a pecuniary character as a

ment a claim for pecuniary damages
must state a fixed sum with the circum,

tendency towards shrinkage in great in
dustries seem in some measure at least
to be checked. While the outcome of
the Democratic convention is uncertain
and the great crops are not yet wholly
beyond danger a u and strong i'm.
provement could hardly be expected
but the one in business circles has
grown distinctly hopeful.
