| brought here from New York, and which
has charmed the eye of the multitudes as
told yesterday, continues to attract at
| tention.
The emperor got back last night from q
brief visit to San Jose. No sooner had he
registered at the Palace than crowd sur.
rounded him. When he walked across
the corridor later and finally went to the
grillroom all eyes followed him.
Mr.. Kirk is young man of rather
comely appearance. Attired in his best
suit with his big Ii Hung Chang overcoat
on and his trusty walking stick grasped
by the middle he cuts figure such as is
sure to make the ladies look twice at him.
This is not un pleasant to Mr.. Kirk, for all
his life he has been an admirer of the sex
less stern than himself.
When it comes TO coats and other arti-
cles of apparel Mr.. Kirk is his own
modeier, or, as be says, they are of his
own creation. He will trust nobody else
to do this. Even those whom Mr.. Kirk
knows intimately are never consulted, ana
as to Bell and other similar authorltiesaas
to the architecture OF clothes, he will have
none of them unless they comply with
what he thinks is the right idea
"In these things" said the gentleman
who sets the styles, speaking in the plu-
raj, I'VE lead; We do not follow"
1t was thus that his slogan went forth.
There has been a number of the San
Francisco tailors who have called on the
distinguished visitor during the last few
days to view his raiment. To each and all
he has been invariably polite.
He has not only exhibited the Lii Hung
Chang coat, but numerous others con-
structed for the various occasions for
which as leader of the fashions he m ust
be appropriately attired. He has also
shown his les in all their infinite variety
and brlliancy of finish.
Besides all these and the countless
other things which an eminent gentle
man needs on his travels, he has exhib-
tied the fourteen pairs of shoes which
always go with him, and which fill of
the mselves large travelling case.
As to the rings and pins, each set with
rare and costly gems, which the royal
visitor possesses words fail almost to ade-
quateiy set forth their virtues. 1t is
enough probably to say that Mr.. Kirk is
stocked up in this, as in other respects.
New rings and pins are flas ed every day
and on each occasion as BELTS it.
