WHY THEY DRESS WELL.
Frock Coat and Wais1coaG Cost $500
and Violets Cents a Bunch

The stranger in London cannot readily
get over the idea that a man who wears a
frock coat and a silk hat is necessarily
person of some Importance In America,
when we see a man in a Prince Albert
and plug hat, we can guess that he
is a preacher, a professor, chiropodist
or a tragedian. In London the formed
makeup has no significance whatever.
All kinds of men, ranking anywhere above
''lower class" have their frock coats and
tall hats. A tailor-made frock coat is
not luxury in London.
Take it in the United States, and man
who wishes to attire himself in the ex-
IRENE of what the British call afternoon"
wear. must be willing to spend money.

oLYMPICs WON.

the Football Game.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-For the
first time this season the Olympics won
a game to-day, defeating Stanford
to . in a mud-streaked affair that in
terested a fair-sized squad of enthusi-
asts.
After blank first half Captain Muir
ply OF Stanford made field goal from
the fifteen-yard line 1t was a pretty
drop and kick with a slippery ball.
and so neatly done that the Olympians
awoke to a species of football frenzy.
They charged the cardinals from the
kick off, and, after few punts hack
and forth, the clubmen worked the ball
well along toward the Stanford goal.
Then, with the pigskin tucked under
his arm, McNevin skated through a
puddle on his face for gain of five
yards. He came to the surface at the
five-yard line near the edge of the field.
On the pass Dinsmore got the ball,
circled the left end and scored touch
down back of the goal Cadwalader
booted the leather between the posts.

sUEssER TRIAL.
Case Of the People Rested-Opening
Statement for Defense.

80 - -
SALINAS, Nov. 4.-The capacity of
the Superior Court room was never
taxed to greater extent than to-day
at the trial of George Suesser Not
only were all the seats inside the rail-
ing occupied by ladies, but the benches
on the outside were filled.
The entire building and a portion of
the afternoon was devoted to evidence
on the part of the people. Suesser re-
manned unconcerned during this part of
the case, but when the District Attor-
ney announced that the people would
rest, Suesser appeared restless.
The attorney for the defense then
made statement to the jury outlining
his case. He said he proposed to show
that on the 10Th of September a war
rant was sworn out for the arrest of
Suesser for stealing a harness which
he had owned three years The arrest
caused him to brood over his troubles.
which resulted in an over indulgence in
liquor; that on the night of the murder
when he left the house with his gun he
kissed his mother and said, "Good-by,
mother, l am going to blow out my
brains, and you will never be bothered
with me any more"
Under the circumstances the penalty
for his crime should not be fixed at
more than manslaughter, or, at the
greatest, not more than murder in the
second degree, as it has not and can
not be shown that the killing of Sher-
if Farley was premeditated.
Suesser, it is asserted will testify
and as he is intensely irritable. a SEN
sational outburst of temper would not
be wholly surprising.
The case will probably take several
days next week

JEFFRIES AND SHARKEY.


NEW YORK, Nov. 4-After the

and lame shoulder Sharkey was will
ing to be assisted in his movements,
and when he and his attendants reach

in a cab he was carried in to the bath
house and rubbed down. During that
operation he talked a little, saying he
would have put Jeffries out if he had
not wrenched his left shoulder in the
eighteenth round. 1T was like fight

rooms until noon, when he set out for

champion seemed anything but pleas
over the result of the fight. TIE had
a big lump on his cheek bone, and a
slight abrasion on the forehead between
the eyebrows, and the skin OF his nose
is badly lacerated. His left arm, which
was strained while training, is now al

ably during the last round of last

Sharkey said to-day that ne would
post check for $1,000 for another
bout with Jeffries. Sharkey said: "Jef-

the only man who was in on the deal
either. 1t was the rankest kind of a

time and again. I asked him 10 break
away and he would not. 1t was MOI e
like wrestling than anything else
"Jeffries says you fouled him. said
one of those present.
He's a liar" exclaimed Sharkey, Il
never fouled him.
What do you think of Jeffries as a
fighter, and how does he compare with
other men you have been up against?
He's a big kid. All he's got is
strength. He does not know anything
about fighting at all. He has not got
the least bit of science. He knows how
to wrestle, and that's about all he does
know. He can't fight and I'll bet he
does not hold that belt a year."
George Siler who acted as referee in
last nights bout, said to-day:
"Sharkey put up a big fight, but he
was outgeneraled by Jeffries, who
fought clean cut battle and out point
ed Sharkey throughout, with the excep-
ton of few rounds. Sharkey at
times was aggressive and led often, but
many of his blows, which may have
appeared to land on Jeffries, went wide
of the mark. Sharkey, in his desire to
win, resorted to questionable tactics.
1t was the greatest heavyweight fight

be lifetime before another such bat
tie takes place. Both men showed
gameness, and their endurance was al
