Emperor William, and granduncle

duke. Sixteen times" was the re-

MASTER OF THE WHIP.
The Performances of an Artist in
the Whiplash Line.

The Performances of IN Artist in
the Whfplash Line.
An Austro-Hungarian named Piski-
slug has created a sensation in Vienna
by his wonderful performances with
the whip. The first thing he does is to
take a ~long-lashed, stout-handled whip
in each hand, and, with orchestral &C.
compartment, proceed to crack or snap
them at a terrific rate. The sound
made by his whips in this ann is
graduated from a noise like a rifle re-
port to the soft click Of a billiard ball.
It makes a curious sort of music, and
serves to show low he can regulate
the force Of each stroke. More inter-
est is evinced when he seiZes a vicious
looking whip with an aDnOrmally long
lash. 1t is provided with a very
heavy handle of medium length. This
is his favorite toy, and what he car do
with it is really wonderful. He first
gives the idea Of what fearful force
may lie in a whiplash in the hands of
an expert. A large frame, over which
is stretched a calf or sheep skin, is
brought OF the stage. This is marked
with dots of red paint. The man with
the whip steps up, and, swinging the
lash around his head, lets fly at the
calf skin. With every blow he actual
ly pulls a piece out of the leather, leav-.
ing a clean-cut hole. These pieces, are
distributed among the audience to-
show that there is no trickery about.
the performance. After this he takesi
a frame with three shelves. On these
there are a dozen or more of medium
sized apples lying very close together
and provided with large numbers
Any one in the audience may desig1
nate which apple he wishes struck
and the unerring lash snatches it out
like a flash. A still more difficult feat
is the swapping Of coins from a mar
row-necked bottle. A piece Of silver
about the size of a half-cr0wn is put
over the cork of a bottle, which stands
on the edge Of a table. The whip art

THE COMMON BLACK COAT.
It May BE Superseded by On

It May BE Superseded by One OF
Lighter Color.
1t would appear from one of our
trade organs that tailors are becoming
a little anxious about the prospects Of
inc black coat of civilization, They
fear 1t IS u danger Of being suppressed
ed by a garment Of lighter hue, if not
OF variegated pattern. Perhaps, if
they were to give voice to the deeper
ap~prehensions, they would say that
there was more at stake than the black
coat. Ther can, at any rate, be little
doubt, whether the tailors are willing
to admit it or not, that with the fate
Of the black coat is bound up that Of
the black waistcoat. Whether the two
have been lovely and pleasant in their
lives is a matter Of opinion, but we
feel sure that in death they would not
be divided.
We mean no disrespect to the vest
in describing it as a parasite of the
coat. 1t is an humble dependent,
which has only found it's way into So
ciety under the wing of it's influential
patron, to whom it adheres with a sin
gle-breasted fidelity rewarded on the
rarely broken save for a short period
during the summer months.
The trousers, it is true, are connected

feudal tie; but their own opinion is
complete, and, except in very hot
weather, indossuluble. Hence, the far
sighted tailors no doubt perceive clear
~ enough that if the black coat goes

lance of the tweed suit" Nor are
there wanting those who would do
their best to accelerate the catastro-
phe.
Animated by the restless spirit Of
the age, it's impatience of sobriety and
it's thirst for change and color in CO.'S
tune, as in life, there is a school of
so-called reformers who are %endeavor-
ing to urge the wearers of black coats
to revolt. Let them give free play, ex-
plain their anarchistic counselors, to
their taste in checks and Stripes"
and they will be able to cut a far more
picturesque figure at a far smaller an
nual outlay. With the outlay, of
course, the public is not concerned,
though that matter, doubtless, is not
without it's interest for the t%ailors; but
we own to some uneasiness at the idea
OF the entire community indulging
it's multifarious taste in checks and
stripes in a headlong pursuit of the
picturesque.
We have all of us, indeed, seer the
experiment tried under very favorable
circumstances, but with little more
than dubious results, by those little
bands Of vocal and instrumental art
lists, generally six or eight in number,
who are usually to be met with at race
meetings or on the sands Of popular
seaside resorts at this time Of the
year. These pioneers Of dress reform
have entirely discarded the black coat,
preferring n Of gayer color, with no
archaeological tails, and the free
dom with which they indulge their
taste in checks and stripes may almost
be said to border upon license. Yet
the effect, eve with the addition of an
open shirt collar of Elizabethan pro-
portions, a corked face and a banjo,
cannot be described as entirely pictur.

FRANK JAMES NEW JOB.
Will Guard Bullion Cars Against Vest
ern Train Robbers.

Will Guard Bullion Cars Against Vest
ern Train Robbers.
It would be odd if Frank James.
Jesse's brother, were to die at the
hands Of train robbers who followed
in his early footsteps! 1t may come
to pass, too.
For now that oft quoted bit of adj
vice, "Set a thief to catch a thief"
has beer needed by the express COM
panies who carry fortunes through the
southwestern states in their strong
boxes, and who lose them sometimes at
the hands of desperadoes.
Frank James, whose career of crime
is, perhaps, second to that of his no.
torious brother Jesse, is to accept a
position as special express messenger,
duty being no other than that of meet
ing train robbers at their own game.
Frank James is no longer young, but
he car still shoot with both hands and
shoot straight: But it is not on that
account alone that his services are in
demand. The men who have made
him an offer have decided that the rep
utation which the man won as a des-
perado when the band which he and
his brother led was the dreaded scourge
of several states, will prove a better
safeguard for their bullion than even
his ready revolver. .
Indeed, it has been said, and with
some foundation, that if Jesse James
had needed his brothers warning he
would never have been shot down by
Ford, whom he trusted so fully that
he removed his pistol belt and turned
his back to him only to receive his
death wound. Frank James had said:
Trust no one when the price on
your head is big enough to make. a man
rich"
He is willing to become a watchdog
and guard bullion for a living provid-
ed the men who wish to employ him
will agree to his terms. ..
I'll take the job,' he told them,
"and any one who gets the money
from the a I'm riding in will get it
over my dead body. But I've been
supporting my family and little more,
and if I go under I want to be sure they
will be provided for.
"Now I'll tell you what I'll do. You
sign an agreement by which they are
to get $4,000 in case I'm killed, and
your a I know enough about
some of them to be sure that they can
still shoot a little, even if the business
isn't what it used to be-"
So the man whose name was once
feared throughout several states is
now waiting to see if the expressmen
will play $4,000 against his stake,
which is his life. 1t will be strange in
deed, if the former desperate, the
brains of the most bloodthirsty set of
outlaws this country has ever known,
stands on the side of law against men
who regard him and his brother as
patterns to be followed.-Kansas City
