Court to Decide Shirt-Waist PrOpriety
From the Philadelphia Times.

The newspapers having said everything
possible about the shirt-waist man, the
courts are to have shy at the vexed ques-
ton with view of defining the legal stat.
US of those who go 50 attired.
OF course the case in point occurs in
Chicago, which, aspiring to lead the world
in civilization, feels deeply the Importance
of very trifiing matter. Mr. Bloom de-
string to sit at meat in a popular restau-
rant clad in shirt-waist attire, was not
only refused service but was elected from
the principal dining hall and placed in a
small room to dine by himself He wants
$4,000 damages, and the court seems to
have taken the matter seriously for the
suit at law was in due course listed for
trial. 1t is well that the courts should deal
with this matter and give us constitu-
tional understanding of where we are at in
this shirt-waist business. 1t not only con-
Germs a mere fad in fashion; 1T reaches out
to become a factor in the mercantile world
almost as importNAt as tan-colored shoes
and raglan shirts, and it cannot be scoffed
out of existence.

Fffteen-POunders Put Trial at
Sandy Hook.

The board Of ordnance and Notifications
of the War Department today announced
that at meetings of the board held Thurs
day and Friday last, at Sandy Hook, n. j.,
tests were made of two three-inch fifteen
pound field guns, and that decision to
which was the better will be made in four
months. One OF the guns was made under
the supervision of the ordnance department
and the other by the Driggs-Seabury AM
munition Company.
The board will arrange a program which
will be sent to all gun carriage n1anufac-
turers in the country. asking for bids for
the construction of a number of suitable
gun carriages for the guns. each to be fitted
with the latest recoil appliances.
Several features of these guns have been
determined upon. The guns must carry
fixed ammunition. the timber chests on
springs and ammunition packed horizontal
", and the guns equipped with recOil de-
vice. II is understood the recent tests were
not altogether satisfactory.

CHICAGO. August 27.-Members Of the
populst national committee gathered in
this city today for the purpose Of naming
vice presidential candidate to succeed
Charles A. Towne as running mate for w.
J. Bryan. They spent the forenoon in
viewing the naval veteran parade and in
holding conferences of an informal nature.
Ante-conference talk seemed to point to
the Endorsement Of Adiai f. Stevenson al
though Marion Butler, chairman Of the

why 1t would be unwise, according to his
view, to indorse the second-place nominee
of the democratic convention.

No matter how hard q man may work.
no matter how prompt and diligent he may

his labor a task. And the fact that most
men do make task of their labor H. the
explanation of the vast preponderance Of
