| The loose, soft rumchunda imperials
in cashmere and Indian as we'll as Per
| sian effects, wherein the brilliant vel
low, the trying greens and the asser-
tive reds play such an important part
are now the fads of the moment.
| These crayats, says Gibson's Clothing
Gazette, are made from huge necker-
chiefs and are cut so that the border
forms an edging to the apron OF the
cravat. In ties the soft madras cloths
and the rumchundas are the most pop
ular and modish fabrics. The former
is made up into a broad end bow and
the latter is made into a folded in,
broad, Windsor-like bow. The ties
and imperials are worn with the high
banded rundown collar and the
neglige shirt. Of course these are for
waistcoatless suits.
The man who doffs his waistcoat
must be careful to have perfect fitting
trousers, for he must go suspenderless.
The belt should be narrow and as
''horsey" as possible. The half hose of
the most vivid patterns is now very
fashionable. There seem to be evil
dences that point to a return to the
Scotch plaid effects. For dress the
black silks with self or neat contrast
ing vertical bars or instep clocking are
best. For wear with tan shoes the
vivid toned combinations in vertical or
horizontal stripes, spots and figures
give one an ample field for selection.
Embroidered monograms are a new
and useful fad. A swell haberdasher
recommends them for every article OF
wear. A lot Of goods prepared for a
young club man has the undershirts
marked on one side near the waist line
The drawers we're marked on one side
of the band. The shirts had the mono
gram on about two inches from the
outer edge of the lower part of the
bosom. Small disks, overstitched with
silk with the monogram in the center
were sewn to the half hose, close to the
top. Small circular-like bits Of linen
with wavy edges embroidered with silk
had the monogram on in silk, and were
sewn to the handkerchief. On the era
watts the monograms were embroidered
in silk near the point in the apron.
This is quite a novel idea, and bache-
lors who depend on outside laundries
will hail the innovation with delight.

LIMIT OF SPEED BY STEAM.
The Nerves of the Engineer VIII Fix
the boundary Line-ShRd.
Owk Ahead.

An old locomotive engineer, in reply
to the statement that 1870 miles an hour
was one of the possibilities of future
travel, says that they may build the
engines for 150-mile gait, but they
can't build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds is
something terrific, and anything over
50 miles an hour is pace which Jars
every nerve in the body. The average
locomotive man is apt to break down
under the influence of many spurts at
even G5 miles an hour. After such ali
ordeal he is completely unhnged jump
Ing when he hears unexpected noises,
like a bysterical woman. BY those who
have passed through this experience
ii is believed that the strain comes
mainly through the sight. The engi-
neer has to look straight ahead, but at
the same time, as it has been expressed,
''he sees things whizzing past on botl
sides out of the tail of his eye, and it is
as if something had hold of the optic
nerve and was pulling it out like a
rubber band" Shadows are the terror
of the locomotive engineer. A bird may
fit across the headlight and throw Il
shadow down the track as big as box
car. OF course, it is gone in an instant
but in just that heartbeat the nerves
of the engineer have been given shock
that they may not recover from in a
week. The new electric headlights are
said to be the worst kind of spook pro-
ducers. They cast such sharp shadows
that bug moving over the glass will
give the engineer the impression of Il
cow lying just in front of the pilot. AT
very high speeds such an experience
con lures up visions of sudden death and
gives a lelge-hanmcr blow to every
nerve center in the b31y of the engineer.
O'd engineers say that the speed of
10C miles an hour is beyond the sus-
tanned endurance of the man at the
lever. and with speed Of $50 miles
the human machine would go mad in
/. week.

made most auspicious opening of the
season of '99 in its game with st.

last Saturday afternoon, winning by a
score Of to 1. The contest was
splendid exhibition of the popular
national sport, and it was won and
lost on its merits, the Sacred Hearts
doing the superior playing all around
Their batting order was as follows:
Walthers, shortstop; Kleinow, catcher,
krebs, third base; johnson, first base;
Kronitz, second base; O'Malley, right
field; Hanley, left field; Joss, pitcher,
Re-lley, center field. Joss was in
fine form and allowed the military
boys only a few scattering hits.
Meagher and Cahill, imported from
Waukesha, were the Delafeld battery.
Meagher was touched up for ten hits.
A return game is scheduled to be,
played here next Saturday.
On Sunday afternoon next the Sacred
Hearts will meet the jefferson Blues,
and the lovers of baseball will not be
disappointed in seeing a frst-class
game.
