DECLINE OF THE DUSTEf.
NO16

\ Traveller by rail connot fail to no.
tice the decline of the duster And
one does not need to be. rs the man
said, contenarian to observe this.
In fact, only thirty or forty years ago
busters were commonly worn by rail-
road travellers. They were cocks
tent with the carpet sack and the alli-
gator-mouthed valise, both now more
completely passed away than the dus-
ter itself, and almost as completely
gone as the hair-covered trunk. i
The dustcr in its original form was
built of brown linen, which, when
starched, stood boldly out like gar
ment of thin and flexible. but not too
flexible. sheet metal. 1t was worn of
course, to protect the wearer and his
garments from the dust When the
linen duster fourished locomotives
burned wood, tracks were sand ballast
ed, and rails were light, cars were not
vestibuled, or provided with dust
screens for the windows, and the time
required to cover Il given distance was
far greater than now. A duster was
far moro needed then than now, and it
was likely to be 4 part of the equip
~ r,o1l -
regular traveller. Indeed, it may be
said that the casual traveller would
scarcely have thought that he had
made trip by rail unless he had pro-
vided that indispensable part of every
travellers equipment.
Prim and stiff and sheet-irony in ef-
feet as the freshly ironed duster was
when first put on, it presented very
different appearance when it had been
worn for time. AT first. sat down
in on a day such as was then simply
called sticky or muggy, but which in
these fashionable modern days is call
ed humid, the duster was creased with
many crcascs that seemed, later, de-
spite the weather, to be frozen in. And
these creas,s, in appearance like accor
dion pleats struck by lightning, short
ened the garment somewhat. They
took it up, and made it bigger around
and more bunchy.
The next effect came with continued
wear, when the starch was all gone
out of it, and the duster became
stringy. And if before it had seemed
to shorten up and grow stout it now
seems to become lean and attenuated;
to take into itself many little rolling
longitudinal wrinkles to sort Of shrink
in on itself sidewise, and to draw over
lengthwise; and by this time it had
probably come to hang unevenly, so
that the front corner had dip and
were lower than the back of the coat
In. it's first estate the linen duster
was, if not a garment Of dignity, one
that had an effect of preciseness, but
in its last was very far from that. In
fact, it is doubtful if person of even
the most imaginative temperament
could conjure up anything more neg
lige in its general effect than stringy
linen duster.
But the linen duster was not the OH
ly one. There were busters of alpaca
and of mahair and other materials,
some of them black and gray big.
flowing, comfortable busters, which, if
not beautiful, had at least the grace
that all things made of good materials
possess. You could almost tell man,
without seeing his face, by the duster
that he wore.

in this section and some of our best

their leases expire January 1, 1900,

This Week,

London, Nov. 2O.-The present
week, according to dispatches from
the front, ought to see a change in
the tactics hitherto maintained by
the British in South Africa. 1t is
said that the task allotted to Gen
eral Clery, that a relieving Lady
smith, will tax his generalship to
the utmost. The Beers are devei-
oping a great deal Uf strength in
the neighborhood of Estcourt, and
General Joubert is reported to be
moving southwark himself in or
der to direct the movement to re-
pei the British advance, after, it
would seem, attempting to isolate
Estcourt. The latter movement is
already in progress. The Beers
practically surround the town.
Another small force was discover
ed at Wlllom Grange, south OF
Estcourt yesterday Sunday eve
ming. Major Tharneycroft, with a
detachment of infantry, made a
sortie and engaged the Beers but
with no material result.
The so called Boer attempt to
rush Estcourt on Saturday was ap-
parently merely a reconnaissance.
resulting in the Beers obtaining
information which they desired,
namely, that Estcourt is fairly
strongly held and has naval guns
in position. The Beers then with
drew out of danger. but remained
at points commanding the exits
from the town.

who claim they are on their way to
that mountain OF rest, and they, too,
stop in Oakland. Just move down,

that Max Hirschfelds grand opera would
be produced at the Tivoli before the close
of the present season is followed by the
statement that comic opera by DR.. H.
j. Stewart will be presented al the Grand
Opera House some time next month, and
rehearsals will in all probability begin
this week The opera is in the Spanish
style of music and the libretto is some
what bouffe. 1t consists of three acts and
is said to be very catchy. DR.. Stewart
had an opera performed in this city some
years ago which was quite successful,
and no doubt this present work will be
expected with much interest.
Owing to a great demand for seats the
Tivoli management has found itself
obliged to continue the grand opera season
indefinitely. This evening Martha" will
be given. with Thomas Green, the new

On the evening of September % William
Carr a can maker, residing at $40 Mission
street, and a soldier named William
Flannigan were taken to the city ReceiV-
ing Hospital in police patrol wagons for
medical treatment Carr was picked up
on the corner of Sixth and Bryant and
Flanagan was found on the corner OF
Fifth and Market streets. Both were un-
conscious and died soon after reachlng the
hospital. 1t appears that no examination
was made by the city doctors as TO the
been treated for alcoholism. When the
Morgue deputies arrived to take posses
sion of the bodies they We're given to un-
derstand that the agent of death In both
instances was alcohol, and 1t was so
stated in the death report.
On the following day an autopsy was
performed on the remains OF Carr. Inc
startling disclosure was then made that
the man had come to his death by a frac
tured skull and not from drink. Ihis fact
was unknown to the hospital authorities.
When the body OF Flanagan, who was
soldier, was taken to the Presidio, it
was found that there were several clots
of blood pressing on his brain and that
one of these had produced death. As in
the case of Carr the hospital physicians
did not know of their presence and calmly
allowed the man to die while they were
treating him for an overindulgence in
alcoholic stimulants. The cases will be
brought TO the attention of a Coroner's
jury to-day and Detective Gibson, who
has been making an investigation for the
police will give his testimony.
An inquest will be held on the body of
Louise Schlegel the young and unfor-

Kelly, who was found in the bay last
week will also be investigated The muir
der of William Kennedy, who was shot
by Tack Main in Third-street saloon,
will be called to the attention of jury,
as will be the death of John E. Burke,
who was fatally injured in an explosion
on the transport Sherman last Friday
night The last case is that of G.. w Will

Railroad Hospital from injuries received
in a railroad wreck in Nevada. He was a
