FANCY VESTS 10 BE WORN WITH
DARK WINTER SUITS.
trouser color is grey. Pain grey, the Ad-
miral Dewey grey. Is seen. Ii is on the
pearl shade. toward blue But for business
trousers there are many variations OF grey
which are In vogue. one is the grey plaid
which is formed by the crossing and re-
crossing Of many shades of grey in a cloth
that is slightly rough. II has not the
smooth ribbed finish Of the trouserings
with which all are familiar. Yet with all
the tendency toward plaids and checks
there is always the striped design, run
ming up and down the leg, and showing
plainly through the checks.
The man with one suit is fortunate this
winter for he can vary it. He can, as the
New York customers tell their customers,
mix it up" and still preserve his style.
But he must not let it get frayed. There
is no possibility for the trouser leg that
is worn beyond repair; but it may be said
in this connection, that with the aid of
stitch in time and the glue, used by
tailors, much can be done with the worn
heel.
All the new suspenders are rather short,
indicating that trousers are to be worn
be mentioned again. the Prince of Wales,
wears his trousers so short that they show
his entire boot heel which is always high
ly polished and Admiral Dewey who is
revealing in the possession of a trosseau,
bought newly on land, also wears his
trousers short. They show the heel and
bit of the back of the Shoe Just
glimpse of the leather above the heel be-
ing seen to shine, as the Admiral walks
This is neat and preserves the trousers
The frock coat is the most fashionable
coat of the year, no question about it. de-
clare the tailors They are making up the
frock coat and vest to wear with different
trousers, and New York swells are wear
ing these suits" for very nice occasions.
You may find mems clothing a little
higher this winter, but the factories have
raised the prices, and of course, the deal
ers must do likewise
The columns of this newspaper ar very
good guides to purchasers. You can read
on another page, exactly where to buy
your winter suit and how much it ought to
cot you. You can also suit yourself with
the styles and can decide where and at
what expense you can get suit like the
one worn by the Prince of Wales, or where
suit. After you have read this. read our
advertisements for the mems clothing

CHRISTMAS STYLES FOR men
The Newest in Vests and Suitings
as Seen in London and New
York During the
Esrly Winter.

Winter fashions fulfill the promise OF
fall, which was that bright colors should
enliven the sombreness of the winter at
tire which custom has given the well
dressed man. Never in the history Of
mems fashions. since the days OF knee
breeches and powdered wigs, have men
dressed with as much cheerfulness as this
season. Bright ties are worn all day,
changing to cream and white at night.
Gloves of brilliant hues, all the way from
light grey to the brightest red, are seen,
and In vests the art OF the designer is al
lowed to run riot.
The vest is an indication of the we'll
dressed man Few vests are worn to
match the coat. The stamped velvet is
sought for colder days; the Persian silk
cloths are used for everyday wear; and
for evening there is the vest of white
piQue which will be worn all winter. The
white satin vest figured with fleur de lis
Is shown, and many another design. and
then there is the vast army of stripes and
checks in cloth which are sold at such
reasonable prices that all can buy.
Vests cannot wear out, but they can soil.
They can also be cleaned, so that it is
economy, in the long run, to buy as meny
vests as you want, wearing one until it
grows familiar, then laying it aside for a
newer one.
So great has this fancy for the odd vests
grown On New York that the best tailors
are making suits consisting of coat and
trousers without the vest; and on a suit
costing, say about $25, they allow 50 or "a
for the vest which the customer does not
want preferring to wear an odd one. This
custom of mixing up suit is growing
The Oxford cloths are immensely fash
ionable. The term now applies to all grey
mixed with white, but the darker the more
fashionable is the cloth. Oxford coats and
vests are worn with striped trousers, Ok
ford coats are worn with figured vests and
grey trousers; then there is the entire suit
OF Oxford, which is also fashionable.
TOP COATS.

making of top coat or overcoat to match

mixed goods. 1t is made with cutaway

The white melton coat is extremely mod

culiar color of the cloth it can not be pro-
duced in cheap grades and it is possible to
pay as high as SIS for a coat. In very
cold cities, such as Montreal and other
places on the border of the United States
and Canada, they line the coat sleeves in
such a way that there is a shirring of
satin around the hand, protecting the
wrists from the wind. This is the custom
with tilors who make coachmens coats;

COMPETITION FOR THE BELL.

Anything that promises relief from
the eXtortions of the Bell Telephone
monopoly is of interest to the people
who have so long been helpless in the
grasp of that concern which has used
its monopoly for the purpose of making
the highest charges the people would
stand Wheeling has had it's share
of experience in this line. The Bell
monopoly has always acted as if it
owned the streets of Wheeling and as
if the people had no rights it was bound
to respect. 1t has torn up the streets
and alleys of this city about as it
pleased and has taken it's own time
about putting them in shape again, re-
CARELESS of the law or the convenience
of the people, and although it has been
permitted to do these things with little
or no protest, still it has never neg
lected to maintain it's charges to the
citizens at the highest notch.
1t is of interest, therefore, to know
that new telephone company has been
organized in the east to fight the Bell
monopoly in every large city in the
country. At the head OF this syndicate
is Alexander Brown, of Alexander
Brown & Sons, of Baltimore, and it is
we'll backed by men of millions and
brains. 1t will fight the Bell company
as a general competitor in every city
in the country where it can gain
foothold.
Already it has gained this foothold
in Baltimore, where it operates 1000
telephones, and it is at work
in Pittsburg under the name of the
Pittsburg and Allegheny Telephone
Company, having secured it's franchise
from the Council with the approval of
the Mayor, and will begin building its
| lines at once.
| All of which is of decided interest,
as we have said, to the people of Wheel
| ing, who will certainly extend every
sort of welcome to the new company
to begin operations in competition with
the Bell monopoly in this city at its
| earliest convenience. The local feat
ures and possibilities of the new con-
Germ will be found more fully in our
| local columns.
Cheaper telephone service has long
| been a crying necessity and it cannot
come too soon for the people of this
| CITY.

Springfield, Ills, March 19.-Spring-
field is somewhat notorious for the stiff
poker games played in the hotels and
clubs during the sessions of the Cen
eral Assembly. Frequently there are
scandals concerning many of these
games. At the last session Southern
Illinois member of the House formed
a combination with a professional
gambler from Bloomington, and togeth-
er they f1eeced dozen members of tine
House, two OF them for over $500 in
one night. One of the victims lives in
Egypt, and is one of the most popular
Republicans in the State, and has
something of a reputation himself in
the poker line.
A story reaches me that eclipseS
anything in the gambling game yet re-
ported as having occurred in Spring
field. 1t has the appearance of con-
certed plan to rob, also. 1t runs to this
effect:
we'll known young business man living
in Southern Illinois received an invita-
ton to spend a day or two in Spring
field and meet some business asSo-
ciates. The request was made by a
man who likes ''the gentleman
game and who has won and lost
thousands of dollars. He did not inti-
mate that cards would be played, but
this telegram brought the Egyptian.
cannot be more definite, or both would
be recognized-and it is not my purpose
to disclose their identity. In good time
the story will be told with all its sem
sational details.
When the Southern Illinoisan left the
table one night, he had not only lost
$4,000 he brought with him, but had
given his check for $4,000. Those in
the game with him were men of the
highest standing in the State, and pre-
sumably honest. The Egyptian lost
his check, it is said, on four aces, his
opponent holding a straight flush.
The Egyptian thought the whole pro-
ceeding over ON his way home, and
concluded that he had been inveigled
into the game and robbed. He imme-
diately wired his banker to dishonor
the check. This brought a protest
from the man who had brought him to
Springfield and who had said to the
winner during the progress OF the
game that the check was all right. He
declared that the dupe was 'in honor
bound to pay the check, even if 1t
ruined him. Ali the same the check
was not paid, and never will be paid.
Not much sympathy will be wasted
on the scion of one of the Oldest FAM

THE AKMOURS TRAPPED.

Recently Thomas F.. Dolan, an ex-
killing superintendent for the Arm
ours, in Chicago, made some extremely
damaging statements in the New York
Journal as to the alleged methods OF
the beef kings in slaughtering diseased
cattle and putting their carcasses on
the market. Dolan's revelations were
most horrible, showing that all was fish
that came to the beef monopoly's net
and that no animal escaped, even
though full of disease and tuberculosis.
Dolan showed that the carcasses of dis
eased cattle condemned by the inspec-
tors were ostentatiously thrown into the
condemned" vat, but afterwards were
secretly removed from the vat and
most inferior grade of cattle was used
for canning, chiefly old cows fit for no
other use. This was the kind of stuff
put up for the army as canned roast
beef" Another product that was can
ned was the offal left after the juice
had all been taken out of a carcass to
make Armour's beef extract.
All these things-especially as to
the disposition of the carcasses of dis
eased cattle-Mr. Dolan recited in a
signed published statement, expressing
his willingness to testify before the
War Department Court of Inquiry.
AT first the Armours Indignantly de-
MED the statement of their ex-killing
superintendent, declaring it the tale of
a discharged workman told for revenge.
But Dolan proceeded to show that he
had not been discharged, and on the
contrary that he had been on the
friendliest terms with Mr.. Armour,
himself, who had presented him with
a gold watch as token of his esteem.
Now comes the sensational part Of
the Dolan story. Unable to break the
force of his revelations by denial and
fearing, it is alleged, to have Dolan
go before the Court of Inquiry the Ar
mours tried the usual course of such
concerns and attempted bribery. Dolan,
who lives in Boston. was bounded for
weeks after his revelations by an agent
of the beef monopoly. At first Dolan
refused positively to hold inter-
course with him. Then, on the advice
of a lawyer and in the presence of
witnesses, he accepted the money,
$4,000, and signed a prepared denial OF
his previous statement to the New
