ARE COMING BACK ~ STYLE.
Freaks In Mems Fashions-Winter Fash
Ions VIII BE Opposite OF Last Years.
Latest Fad.

Tho thin-leged man who aspires to keep
in the fashionable push has hard times
ahead Of him. The outlook Is that skin
tight, glove fitting trousers will be the
order OF things this winter, and every
one knows how ridiculous a man with
thirteen-inch calf looks when he exhibits
1t TO the world in all its genuine thnncss
And there seems to be no way out OF
the difficulty for the benighted ones, UNI
less they descend 10 the effeminate de-
ception Of using pads. a mans trousers
must be cut very narrow. and then if the
leg fails to fulnll the expectations Of the
garment he becomes a pitiful spectacle.
On the other hand. If he takes the bull
couragoously by the horns and has the
trousers made to tit the leg snugly. no
matter how slender the leg may be- he pa
radcs the shortcomings of his underpiu-
nings before the eyes Of an obseryant
world in a most glazing way.
Many men will thank the fates that the
bicycle fad preceded the skin tight pants
by year or two as the pedal exercise
has developed thousands OF legs TO the
proportions intended by nature. But there
are scores OF unfortunates who have ro-
ngiously ridden thousands Of miles for
the single purpose Of swelling their calves
1t has been some years since any radi-
cal change has been made ia mems at
tire. but the winter of '96-'91 will make
amends. In 1850 AN the dudes wore very
narrow trousers. and this fashion prevail
ed for three years. In 1884 very wide
trousers. with the leg sharply creased,
came in, and this style prevailed until
five years ago. Then the trousers shrunk
10 a moderate size. and there was no
other change until this fan. The fashion
able dimensions now are l. II inches at
the knee and Il inches az the ankle. In a
couple of months these measurements
will shrink TO II inches az the knee and
1912 at the ankle. This Is the next
thing to skin tight trousers for well
built man. and the dudes, who invariably
carry every fashion 10 extremes making
II ridiculous. can be depended upon TO
shave off considerably the figures just
named.
MEETING OF THE TAILORS-
The other day there was a meeting IN
New York OF the important personages
composing the Merchant Tailors Society.
In fact there were several meetings. all
for the purpose Of deciding the kinds and
STYLES OF garments that the rest OF the
world must wear this winter. Al the
morning session waistcOats were discus
sed: at the afternoon session the mighty
intellccts OF the members concentrated
upon frock coats. at the night session
tho chairman offered the problem OF
overcoats. Trousers occupied the attcn-
ton of the society at the morning session
Of the next day. and as it was the most

proceeded to crafty the requr st.
Are you sure those cartridges are

"Yes," answered the man. Blu. before
the word was out Of his mouth, the boy
had proved the truth of his answer AS
soon as the word was spoken he raised the
pistol to his forehead, fired, and fell life

Colo. On Saturday last he pawned his
nickel watch at the Pioneer Loan Office on
Broadway, and it was at the same place
to-day that he spent the money received
for his watch for revolver. a little note
found in his pocket showed that the act
was premeditated. 1t was written in
penci on the back of an envelope and
read, "In case of accident, send me to j.

Townsend. who has been fighting the
Southern Pacific Company for the past
fifteen years in hopes of regaining pos
session of portion of Shatiuck avenue,
which once belonged to her, and which
was condemned at the time the railroad
was put through, was again thrust into
notoriety today.
About week ago she was arrested and
charged with disturbing the peace, be-
cause of interference while one OF her
houses was being moved into the street,
which was being done so the lot upon
which the house was located could be
graded.
The hou Sc was ordered back to its place
by the uperintendent. and to-day while
it was b. eing NOV again by Contractor

with hand ak.
A lively scene followed, which result TED
in the summoning of the Town Marsh al
and an ultimate consultation with the
Town Attorney. Mrs. Townse nd's ap-
parent idea II cutting the rope was to stop
the further removal of the house, because
1t had reached the part of the street which
she claims fr ON the Southern Pacific Com.
pany. More trouble is anticipated.
