New Fashions in Vests and Jewelry for Men

AS for styles In mems clothing in the
matter of vests, preference for something
fancy" is more marked than 1t has been
for years. For dress purposes the latest
Innovations are figured silk vests in BLACK
or white. They are marked and brocaded
in elaborately handsome patterns, and
the finest are of heavy hand made mate
rial whose texture is very difficult to imi-
tate in any sort of cheap goods. Spitals-
fields silk is a specially choice goods for
this purpose.
Some of San Francisco's fashionable
tailors have an array of fancy vestings
that in richness would rival anything the
ladies wear. Some patterns are of white
and gold, with the gold appearing family
and they are masterpieces of the textile
art. Others in black are SO rich in design
as to fairly fascinate the eye. A few pat
terms in drab and lavender are also very
handsome, and design which is favor
ite is white with blue silk figure woven
through it. The large patterns are rec
commended as showing to the best advan-
tage when worn, as they do not show
nearly so conspicuously then as when
seen in the goods in the bolt.
Demi-dress vests show either a single
breasted effect with a notched collar or
are double breasted with lapels cut off.
The edges are finished to correspond with
those of the coat. For evening dress the
U-shaped cut is the standard for this sea-
son, but the fashionable tailors say the
majority of the best-dressed men here
prefer to adhere TO the V shape, which
has an incom parably better set and pre-
vents an awkward bulging of the stiff shirt
bosom.
In business suits the ingle-breasted,
no-collar vest is much liked, although it
is not the prime favorite. 1t has six or
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-04

four buttons and with an opening of about
fourteen inches.
In evening dress the peaked lapel is said
to have the call to slight extent over the
shawl collar.
The reports from England say that the
fancy Spitalsfeld silk vestings have, after
many predictions that they would fail of
wide acceptance. forced their way into
prominence and are now very freely made.
They are being made even by leading
West End houses, who at fiji st ridiculed
the idea because it did not emanate from
themselves. San Francisco tailors agree
that the time is ripe for something fetch
ing in waistcoats generally, and the pub
lie is taking very kindly to tho fashion.
Those who object to gorgeousness on gem
eral principles must hasten TO put away
prejudice and get their mind into con-
dition to take delight in the rich beauty
of the fashion while it lasts.
Some of the fashionable tailors have
g washable goods for wais,coats in linen
of drill and duck texture. They are beau
tifully woven and have very rich look,
without being in the least gaudy. They
are in shades of tan and fawn. White
summer vests will not be worn on the
street.
At the fashionable haberdashers there
are some very handsome styles of fancy
vests in washable goods. Some of the
fastest of these are of heavy linen crash,
woven in basket-work patterns. There is
a wide variety, and it would be hard to
choose from among so many neat designs
that which excels in beauty. In these
vests the prevailing style provides for
large patch pockets.
In the matter of iewelry preferred by
tasty men thero has been little or no

seven buttons and the edges are double
stitched. The opening for ordinary sizes
is fourteen inches. In a single bra aasted
shawl, or rolling-collar vest, intended for
general purposes, the opening is some
what lower. 1t closes with five buttons
and the edges are sIngle-stitched.
The single-breasted notch-coliar vest is
perhaps the most popular style for demi-
dress. Ii is made of a variety OF materials.
There are some new and very neat designs
in worsted. They generally close with FIVE
buttons, but this is usually subject to the
tallness and taste of the wearer. The
single. breasted dress vest is more COM
monty worn than the double-breasted, but
fashion leaves the preference entirely to
the wearer, and whether they are black or
white is also left to the discretion and
fancy of the individual. But it is de-
cid edly the growing fashion that vestings
should be ornately fancy. and authorities
predict that fancy colors will soon be worn
for dress purposes. In fact they are
already being worn by limited mum Der.
The openings in dress vests of this pattern
should be 20 inches, ana the buttons
should not be crowded. 1t has but two
pockets. The uble- breasted dress vest
closes with hut three buttons unless the
wearer is unusually long in the body.
A double breasted vest made of wash
able fabrics will be much worn this sum-
mer, either with double-breasted frock
coat or single-breasted walking coat.
These have four pockets, are closed with
three buttons aud may be we'll nigh as
fancy as you please. White, with figure
woven in of colore6 silk, gives a very
striking effect.
A style now much in vogue for walking
is in very fancy vestings. with double

green in point OF popularity. Very light
change for this sea son. Link uff-buttons
are still worn and the oval shape is most
used. A very tasty article in this line,
which combines beauty with simplicity,
is plain oval of Roman gold. In this
the richness of the metals color is brought
out in very pleasing way. Other favor
ite designs are ovals of gold setting, con-
tanning some of the Sc mi. precious stones,
such as topaz. amethyst and garnet. The
dunn bbell pattern of cuff button is consid-
erably worn. Some Of these, made of car
buncle amethysts. are very pretty. For
mourning these dumb bbells of jet are
sim pie and tasty.
Some of the watch fobs now worn
with evening dress are of very handsome
design. The contrast of the gold bands
across the black silk make both gold and
silk more beautiful. A very tasty one
here shown starts with tiny swivel and
few very slender links, while below, TO q
cleverly designed buckle. is suspended the
gold enclosure of an onyx charm. Other
designs in vogue are fac-si miles of old
fashioned seals. For other than evening
dress watch chains OF either. the single or
double style are equally fashionable.
Some of the handsomest are of gold in
single links, and get their beauty more
from daintiness of workmans hip th an any
broad display OF the precious metal.
There will probably always be few men
who will continue to like to wear finger
rings. For those the newest and hand
soonest are either diamonds or combina-
tions of precious stones sunk deep into a
heavy protuberaIion of gold in the style
called gypsy setting. Magnificent things
in coiled serpents with eyes of diamonds,
suggestive OF the wicked power of fascina-
ton, are out in new designs and are much
liked.

The fancy dresses worn on such occa-
sions are varied, but most of the women
appear as Eastern dancing girls, musmes,
or RAJ ladies, and the men are pic

slippers, few daegers and the rest of tog-

coat hangs straight from the neck almost

The coat is cut as to show to advantage

and a large turned-down collar. The
shirt has one stud and tremendously
high collar, with which is worn spright-

Four Young Men to Tramp to the Yosem-

Four Young Men to Tramp to the Yosem-
lite Valley.
Four of the best known young men
of Oakland, Cal, started recently to
tramp to the Yosemite valley. The
boys perfected their plans and went
prepared to meet emergencies empty
handed and on foot. Beach Carter Soule,
Raymond T. Baker. Royal P. Macdon-
aid and Clifford Boardman compose the
party.
For the period of six weeks they will
abandon the ease and comfort of every
day city life to try the lot of the outcasts
who wander over country roads, trust
ing to good fortune for their meals and
to an unfailing ability to locate lofty
haystacks for place to sleep. Soule,
Baker, Macdonald and Boardman are
leaders ill the younger set of Oakland,
and their novel scheme for a holiday
outing has amused the community great
ly.
They will neither beg nor borrow,
but will perform odd jobs wherever
they are to be had, dine with whoever
is kind enough to ask them in for a re-
past and shift for themselves when they
are not within reach of farmhouse or
settlement by hunting game and fish
ing. Each will carry some kind of a
gun.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Great Sea Tunnel Project.

A scheme is being discussed in news
papers and at meetings for the construc-
ton of submarine tunnel between Ire
land and Scotland. Its length would be
about 20 miles. 1t would need to be
carried about 1000 feet below sea level
in midchannel, and its cost would he
anything from 100000 upward
The traffic would probably not do more
than cover working expenses, says The
Railroad Gazette, for the mouth of the
tunnel on the Scotch side would be in a
remote, thinly peopled part Of the coun-
try, so miles from the nearest center of
population. A rate per mile low enough
to draw the traffic away from the exist
ing steamboat services would be so low
that it would hardly pay interest on
the vast construction capital, even if
the tunnel were as full of trains as the
London Underground.

Was In Many Battles,

General Green P. Garner, who died
in Chicago recently, took part in 80
battles in the Mexican and civil wars
and was wounded at the storming of
Chapultepec. He was i'll the battles of
Palo Alto, Cerro Gordo and Buena Wis
ia. AT the latter engagement be became
"cannon deaf and never entirely re-
covered his hearing. After the Mexican
war he engaged in his profession as a
civil engineer, and when Fort Sumter
was fired upon he helped raise the Eight
zenith Illinois regiment, in which he
insisted on enlisting as a private. In
the campaign of Grant from New Mad
rid to Fort Donelson, he was promoted
from the ranks. He then served with
Grant i'll the east and left the service

MISREPRESENTATION

The Washington Post, one of the
ablest and brightest papers in the
country" says the Atlanta Journal,
"tells those newspapers in the north
west that are lying about the South
that their scheme will rot succeed.
"These journals, alarmed and dis
gruntled at the steadily flowing tide
of emigration from their section 10
Georgia and other Southern states, at
tempt to stem it by the most reckless
Misrepresentation Of our section and
our people.
"They ignore the fact that no south
ern state has never been the suppl
cant and neticiary as was bestowed
upon starving Nebraska three years
ago and they are brutally forgetful of
the fact that the bulk of the contrlbu-
tons to the famine-strlcken people of
that state went from the south.
ut is mean and cOwardly fight
which the papers of the class we have
referred to are making on the south,
but its very meanness will compass its
own defeat"

Fanatics.
Further details have been received
from the special correspondent of The
Daily News who is inquiring into the
Tiraspol (Russia) tragedy, i'll which 10
persons, at least, belonging to the Ras-
kolniki, religious sect, were of their
own volition buried alive or walled up
in the cellar of the house of Feodor
Kovaleff, who is now under arrest.
The cellar is cave at the base of Ko-
valeff's cottage. In this place, which
is so small that it is marvellous how so
many persons were buried there, nine
bodies were found, lying alternately
head to feet. In one instance hollow
had been scooped in the clay wall to
make room for the head of the victim.
The governor of the prison in which
Kovaleff is confined has elected from
the prisoner the information that the
interments were made at night in the
presence of a number of his coreligion-
lists The victims in every instance don
ned their best garments, over which
they placed shrouds.
