YOUR COAT COLLARS.
A Tailor Can Tell Whether You're a
Beat or Not.

New York World.
The nan who thinks he has the best Of
his tailor had better take off his coat
and examine the tag under the collar,
where with great care the fashioner Of
garments has sewn IL. There let him
look at the stitching which binds that
innocent looking bit OF linen 20 the cloth.
Let him then see whether the tailor Is a
fool or not.
AS surely as bad habits leave their
mark Upon the countenance OF the wick
ed, so the willy fashioner of wardrobes
has set his seal The honest man. the
beat. the slow payer. the schemer and
the dolt are known by the stitches. By
their marks We shall be understood, or
words to that effect.
The object OF this new s~artorial fancy
is to enable knights Of the shears to tell
at a glance whether you are good pay or
not. It's all in the threads, as il were.
Here Is the key 10 these ingenious tabs
OF the tailor. The Jog stitch is the one
regularly used for good customers, who
require good work. The criss-cross is
significant of slow pay. The stitch with
dots and dashes. which looks like the
Morse alphabet, tells the inquiring tall
or that its owner is a bad risk. The re-
verse dot stitch shows the good fellow
who wishes his friends 10 dress well, but
hates like thunder to pay what they will
finally owe on his introduction.
The round curves are used TO indicate
a mean man. and the tag with convex
loops at each corner Is a sure black eye
for the wearer. It's a good scheme alto
gether the tailors think.

said Murphy, indignantly. Corbett
sprang up, showed Murphy out of the

Murphy staggered half across the

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 27.-s'The fit
ting of the flying squadron was mere
ly to show Europe that England was
prepared to defend her course against
the nations. do not think anyone in
Great Britain ever thought the squad
ron was placed in action to be used
against the United States" This was
the statement made by Sir Wheelman
Pearson, NJ. F., from Colchester, Es-
sex county. England, at the Southern
hotel Yesterday. Sir Wheelman. who
has contracts with the Mexican gov
ernment for the construction of the
harbor at Vera Cruz, is en- route to
that city, accompanied by Lady Pear
son.
when we first heard of your Mon
roe doctrine declaration. he said, I'VE
thought YOU had gone crazy. You
gave us terrible shock for few
days. for we thought from the amount
of jingoism aroused that this country
would become so unruly that grave
complications would follow.
England has not appointed a COM
mission to consider the dispute, and |
do not think this will be done until
after Lord Salisbury has made the
correspondence in the matter public
by sending it to parliament in the
form of report. Then, if the foreign
office has taken a wrong position, it
will be rebuked. If the people think
the position e proper one, however,
the position of the foreign office will
be upheld.
There is no doubt but that Eng
land recognizes the Monroe doctrine
in its broad sense, and is willing to
abide by it on all occasions except
this one. This disputed territory has
been claimed by Great Britain for
years. and has been ruled by it. A
large number of the inhabitants of
the place consider themselves British
subjects, and the dispute is merely
over the boundary. Surely not suf-
ficient cause for war. Since this
trouble has arisen there is growing
sentiment in England in favor of a
permanent international commission.
to which all disputes could be referred
at their inception and they would be
settled without having the countries
stirred up over them. The time will
come when such board will be found
necessary. and hope to see this agree
