CoUGHLlN A"BERRY WALL"

Chicago Alderman Proposes Changes
In the Style Of Evening Dress.
Alderman "Bathhouse john Cough.
lin Of Chicago is going to branch out
into the fashion making business. He is
tired of the present styles OF mems
evening dress, and he proposes some
radical changes. And be will "set the
pace" himself. Court costume is his
ideal dress. Berry Wall is the hero
whom be would emulate.
When summer rolls around. the al
derman will spend two months al so.
ciety resorts in the east. He will carry
with him six sets of evening wear-one
set for every ''dress suit" night in the
week. The suits will be made of velvet,
and there will be no two alike in color.
One will be a cross between a silver and
q cream, another red, another blue, an.
other green. another white and the 9th.
er wine color. The trousers will be Of
the knickerbocker variety, and the
stockings will be made to match the
suit in color. The shoes will be after
the fashion of those worn by the aris-
tocracy in the time of Louis XIV. The
buttons on the clothing will be silver
when the metal will harmonic with
the color of the cloth. The trousers will
be rather tight fitting, though not I'M
comfortably SO, and in shape the coats
will be but little changed from the
"spiketail" Of the present. The lapels
will be larger, however.
The waistcoats that the alderman will
wear are to be Of different colors from
the coats and trousers. Blocked or
striped material will prevail with the
First ward statesman, though he will
be prepared to produce plain waistcoats
whenever be thinks them Eau fait.
The regulation dress shirt will be retain
ed in the new fashion, and the collars of
today, too, will be the proper thing. "
Alderman Coughlin has already ar.
ranged with his tailor for the six suits
Of clothes. Each suit is to cost him SIS.
The alderman has decided to have his
hats made of colored silk. each one har-
monizing with the particular suit with
which it is worn. Chicago Record.

You cannot always just toll what is
going to come out Of 9 legislative grist
mill, but as now planned by the repub-
lican majority at Pierre the new ballot
for 1900 is to have not only 9 big circle
at the top. but q little circle at the left
Of the names Of candidates instead OF
the square as the place of the cross as
heretofore. As there must necessarily
be q square at the left Of the title or
name Of the Office just above the name of
the candidate, this is to avoid the con-
fusion that frequently follows in the use
OF these squares. With circles only
where crosses are to be placed there can
DO no installing where to place the
CROSS.

note of each line, he proceeded to chant
the words in a slow, drawing mono.
tone, ~prolonging the last syllable for a
little and then breaking at the head Of
the congregation into the music set to
the words thus delivered. The effect of
this would no doubt be frequently more
curious aud entertaining than edifying
and solemn, and strange Developments

position tested not only the musical
qualifications, but also the literary at.

LOVERS LETTERS

Yesterday morning Deputy United
States Marshal w. T. harness, of Mari

Henry Herber, who resides at No. 3555
Guernsey street, in that place. Her

said to have been sent on February
4th 10th, Goth and oath, 1899. Herber,

HOW IT WAS KILLED.

There appears to be more than one
version of the tale of the dog which
was sent into kingdom come by Officer
Rolf and James McCracken Monday
morning. One was given in yesterday S
Register. The other is contradictory
and reflects upon the gentlemen who
manipulated the shooting irons. Mrs.
Mary Normile, who owned the dog.
claims to have told Rolf to wait until
her sons came home to dinner She
alleges that this was not done, but that
the officer was afraid of the dog and
hunted up Fireman McCracken, who is
an expert shot. The dog was lying
about thirty feet back from the front
gate and McCracken's shot took effect.
Then, it is claimed. the animal ran up
stairs and badly frightened a lady who
lives on the second floor, and who
leaned out of the window screaming for
help. This lady complains that the
gentlemen with the guns did not come
to her rescue, but left her at the mercy
of the dog. All accounts agree. how
ever. that the dog went down stairs
again and that both Rolf and McCrack-
en- pumped lead into him until he was
no longer in condition to bite.

1t was reported at Bellaire late last
night that the body of a man had been
found floating in the river at Crangle's
landing, two miles below the city, but
the rumor was not verified, and is per-
haps groundless. 1t was only short
distance above this spot that the bloody
clothing was found Sunday and this
fact gave additional significance to the
story. The Bellaire officers are still
working on the mystery, but so far
as the public is given to understand,
nothing tangible has yet been turned
up. Several persons have inspected
the clothing, but so far there has been
no Identification.

A LIVE WIRE

A still alarm called the Chemical
Fire Company, No. l, to Jacob w.
Grubb's jewelry store, at 1906 Market
street, last night at $50 o'clock The
alarm was sent in by Police Lieuten-
ant Ingram, who discovered the blaze
and awoke the clerk that sleeps in the
store.
When the chemical rig arrived the
electric clock supply wire which enters
the north window in the upper corner
was sparkling and the fire proof cell
ing was badly blackened and red hot
in places. The stock in the window
was removed and Foreman Bowman, OF
the Chemical, broke the wire, cuttins
off the circuit. The loss will be NOM

The only way the live wire can be ac-
counted for is that it was crossed on
the alternating circuit of the Wheeling
Electric Company. Had is not been
discovered when it was a serious fire
might have resulted.

Hall entered politics in 1892. In

year. In 1896 he was almost defeated
for committeeman in his own district,
where the other mans name was not
printed on the ticket, and every body
who voted for Metzner had to write
his name on his ballot. Two years
later, he wisely decided not to so be-
