Mr. Stephens, OF Texas, who represents
the Jumbo district. is an out and out
Bailey man, and Will probably follow the
fortunes OF the vening dress faction
III the fight in 500. Mr. Stephens said
that he wouldn't put on an evening dress
even to attend such a function as that
given by the President last Friday Mr..
stephens said further that evening dress
IS going out OF fashion in his district
II is tie largest district in the world The
northern half OF Texas is In it.
Mr. Hawley declined TO discuss the
matter OF Texas evening dress peremp-
torlly, although he said that he believed
there were about 300, 900 dress suits in
the State. He intima ted, therefore. that
the evening dress was not d very ueT

that the people OF Texas were as well
dressed as any people III the world

however, as easy to lasso as the fore
going. one Of them said that whoever
said that the best people OF Texas tolerated
evening dress at any time of day or night
was all kinds Of liar. Why down in nv
district, he said, mot three years ago. a
man on the front row shot the ringnaaster
OF a circus because he appeared contrary
TO notice i'll that toggery. In four counties
OF my district the election ALWAYS turns
on the kid glove, the silk hat and the
dress suit, and l believe that in some
counties OF Mr. Bailey's and Mr. Stephens
district no man can be elected delegate
to convention who ha sn't very pronounced
anti-dress suit convictions''
Another member Of the delegation SIM

AT the first blush the deelination of Mr.
Bailey to put On sthe evening necessity
seems to be 2 'ydgy simple affair, but t
really has sstate. and it may have
national Significance. The politics of
Texas has already been split on the SUBJ
Ject, and tits rumored that an effort will
be made to have some decIa ration on the
matter inserted in the next national
Democratic dress reform platform. The
delegation has certainly divided on the
question already. Congressman Cooper
and Congressman Kleberg, of Texas have
already ordered dress suits" and there
is no telling how far this departure VIII
affect the rest of the delegation. Mr..
Cooper was quitefrank in explaining about
his dress suit He said that he once at
tended, in Washington, a very swell af-
fair, and he discovered very soon that lie
was the only man in the house with
Prince Albert coat on. He said that he
believed that everybody else in the house
noticed the same fact. Since then he bas
always held a swallow tail in reserve.
Congressman Kleberg confessed that he
had ordered his suit yesterday showing
how the leaven was working on account
of the affair at the White House. Mr..

The men were James Fulton, of No.

occurred, and driving in reckless manner
At the corner of Princeton street Fulton
attempted to drive across the car tracks
just as trolley car No. "a, in charge of
Motorman Tom Harding, came down the

and were taken in the Eighth precinct pa
troll wagon to Freedman's Hospital. Be-
yond several cuts aud bruises about the
head and body, they were not badly hurt,
though the physicians say that Fulton
may possibly be injured internally.
The horse, which was owned by the Dis
trict, and valued at about $100, was SO
badly mangled that it died a few minutes
after the accident
No arrests weremade, as the collision was
clearly the fault Of the driver Of the wagon.
