Here is the other picture-sweat-shop
clothes; some one sells them, for they are
made every day; the same writer is talking:
The maker confines himself to the cutting depart
ment He may be the whole thing himself
Watching his opportunity he buys more rolls of
cloth that he thinks will have ready sale Then with
samples in his pockets, he goes among his retailing
friends to dispose of his suits If he can undersell his
competitors he gets order. He or his assistants cut
the goods All the pieces for each suit put in sep
arate bundles and turned over to the contractor who
in turn names the lowest possible price for the making
The contractor gives them out to the to take to
their homes or to some more ambitious small employer
who owns two three machines, and crowds men,
women and children into his apartment to do
the work. Forced by necessity to accept the lowest
prices, the whole family down almost to the babies,
take part in the work Tired hands and feet ply from
early morning until far into the night and the pay is
barely enough to keep soul and body together.
If ready-made clothes are so perfect, why
not abolish your custom tailoring depart
ment? you ask. A natural query. Let this
same writer answer the questions
The made o-order garment costs the buyer from
onc-third to one-half more than the same garment
would when taken from stock Buy of the SWEETEST
tailor and the cost may be more than double.
Are there good reasons for this decided difference?
Most decidedly there Probably the most important
is the difference in the method of cutting. Every
custom made suit is special CREATION whereas the pat
terms for the first ymade suit may for thou
sand like garments.
The made to-order suit has another advantage--
can follow more closely the latest caprice of style
But listen to this:
When man afford to pay for these additional
qualities of special fit and upto-date style, by all
let him do so; bHt ace past the time 70hcn suit is

The problem is finally sized up this way:

BAILEY LOST HIS GAME.
They Wouldn't Break for Him and
 the Team Had Same Disease.

Memphis. Tenn, May 2s-(Special. J. The final game of the Memph;s-Selma series was won by the Memphis team by a score of ' to 4. Bailey was. on the slab for the Alabama crew and in the fifth round he got up i9 the air and the home team made three tallies, four in alL tying the score. The hitting of the. two clubs was about even but three passes to first On balls and two forced runs did the business. This is the second game that Bailey has lost this year. a splendid record. In spite of the many counter reunion attrac- tions, the flower parade and other things, a good crowd saw the contest. Many coming in after the third in- ming. The game was an interesting one and marked by some good hitting. One star feature was the kicking of the Selma players. In the first round there was a hot gabfest as to an att tempted double play that failed and Messrs Fender. Dalrymple and Harlow opened up their talk work on Umpire McNamara. He fined the whole bunch s each after pulling his watch on them and they got real good. Official score:

Brings Ball Into Disfavor.

 We detect in certain quarters of the press where 1t has been distinctly slug Eish the signs of a growing distaste for the disorder that so notoriously charac- ferizes the national game, namely, the players habit of disputing decisions of 1he umpire, notwithstanding the latter is the sole and absolute judge of play" by the rules. A kick against \ the umpire should be something abso- 1uteiy unknown to the ball geld. As a way to creating such situation we Respectfully suggest to our contem- poraries that the rule forbidding play CTS to question the umpire's decision shall. for time at least, be observed also by the press.

wILEs OF THE POSTMASTER.
Department Seeks to Prevent the
 Force Sale of Postage Stamps.


 Force Sale of Postage Stamps.
 First Assistant Postmaster John ston has issued an order designed to prevent clerks m postofficee and super intendents in charge of clerks in branch stations from encouraging the pur- caase of postage stamps and postal cards by outside persons, writes a cor respondent of The New York Sun. The penalty for violation of the order is removal from office.
 The abuse is somewhat prevalent in the vicinity of every large city, but particularly in New York Cly, aad the sale of stamps to business frnns with in the territory of the city offices by agents of postoffices in small places it is estimated has grown to an ag- gregate annual sale of $250,000 worth of stamps. The advantage gained by the forced sale of stamps is increased sal- aries for the postmastexs, and in largely increased allowances for clerks and other office expenses. For in- stance, a postmaster at a fourth-class office might easily increase his salary from $320 to $1.000 per year by selling single "order' of $2,OOO worth of stamps. In order to obtain purchasers such postmasters are believed to offer their stamps at a discount. By selling $2,000 worth of stamps for $1,750-a suf- ficient inducement to procure. pur. chaser, under almost any circumstances the postmaster would clear profit of $420. On this principle 1t is accepted that most of the stamp sales indicated have been made.
 A phase of this same abuse Of the postal regulations is not covered by the changes in the regulations just or dered. Large manufacturing firms. particularly such as do an extensive advertising, solicit the esta blshment of fourth-class office near their works, have one of the proprietors appointed postmaster. detail a clerk to perform the duties. and credit the salary paid as so much postage obtained free.

 Nowhere is there a people so disposed sa the Americans to liberal views of the privilege of personal success. They are so liberal as to overlook very often the moral phase; to omit inquiry whether the success has been attained by methods strictly legitimate and Honorable.

THE AMERICAN DERBY
SQUIRE BROWN DISCUSSES THE
 POSSIBILITIES.
Garry Herman, Commando and His Eminence Appear to Be Favor ites-Lscal Ball Teams Will
 Play For Hospital.

Unless there is a very radical change the American Derby will be the most in teresting horse race ever run, and from the manner in which things are be- coming mixed everybody is afraid to even hazard a guess as to probable winners.
 Tuesday The Parader won another race at Gravesend and did 1t in such an impressive manner, as to almost make him rank with Keenes great Domino colt, Commando. With Con- roy and Commando from the Keene stable, The Parader, Wilson's starter and Outlander. the Eastern contingent is one to be respected.
 Tuesday at Hawthorne, Captain Browns great Esher colt, Garry Herr man, made his first start as Swear old and won so inlpressively as to make that old iron horse" of Virginia, Brad ley's Boney Boy, look queer. Robert waddell, another of Bradley's horses, now racing at St. Louis, has been winning such impressive races as to certainly entitle him to consideration as an American Derby possibility, while His Eminence stands "way-up-in the pictures" Terminus has not done enough to make him rank with the ether s-yearae!as !n the West, and the 3-year-olds that have been racing in California during the past winter are also more or less unknown quantities.
 When 1t is all narrowed down 1t looks like it will be a race between Garry Herman, Commando and His Emil hence with The Parader and Robert Waddell close up. At any rate good bunch of Montgomery money will go on the colts named to finish one, two, three.
 Next Tuesday afternoon Montgome- rians will have an opportunity Of wit messing the first ball game of the sea- son, when two amateur teams will line up for the benefit of the proposed Charity Hospital. The teams will be from the Louisville and Nashville freight office and Greil's wholesale house, and as both of them have been nrscticinr faithfully, the game should be q great deal faster than ordinary amateur games.
 The game will be called at o'clock sharp Tuesday afternoon and the two teams are as follows:
 Louisville and Nashville-E. Burke, 1b, captain; J. W. Barker, C.; p. H. Harwell, D.; L. N. Vaught, S.. s.; T. P. Littlejhon, f.; W. 4. Creighton, c. f.; G. D. Mentz, 3b; F. J. Jenkins, r. f.; J. c. Judkins. 2b.

Penmen Are Suppfanted.

The truth is that handwriting has assumed a far lower place in business pursuits than it occupied a few years ago. The great bulk of mercantile correspondence is now conducted by means of the typewriter, and that use- full machine is steadily pushing its way into the realms of authorship and newspaper work as well. There will always be a demand for neat and leg ible penmanship in certain occupations, but in the greater majority of pursuits this no longer exists, although as . personal accomplishment, apart from business uses, it is of course eminently desirable.

They did not hit him much but his lack of control-five bases on balls and wild pitch-must have taken the heart out of the team. Alexander played the best ball, getting four as- sists and two hits.
