EVENING DRESS.

Am Authority on Mems Wear Tells What Is Correct, I have never known a social season when there was such 8 diversity of opinion in regard to correct evening
 dress standards as there has been this
 season. On all hands have noticed a
 disposition to indulge in all sorts of
 odd combinations and peculiarities.
 The. evening jacket Is worn with gar
 ments that were not designed for it,
 and the evening coat is looked upon by
 many as merely proper for formal
 dances. Now in good society in New
 York evening dress is all that the term applies. It Is not jacket dress; 1t is not semidress. It is the evening coat and
 everything that goes with that gar ment.
 The dinner jacket has been so abused that today it is best to do without it entirely. Very few men are situated so that they have any use for dinner Jacket. The average man only attends affairs that call for the evening coat. At the theater, opera, banquet, even ing dinner, dance or ball the evening suit is proper. The evening jacket is out of place.
 A man should never under any cir cumstances wear a high hat of any description with an evening jacket. He should not wear white tie with an evening jacket. He should not wear a black tie with the evening coat He should not wear black studs and black ties with evening dress because he is in mourning. He should not wear a plaited shirt with an evening coat. With the evening jacket the high band collar and the black single breasted waistcoat are to be preferred. In even ing dress either the double breasted white waistcoat or the single breasted black waistcoat is proper.
 The plain front shirt is the only proper shirt for evening dress. That may seem broad statement, but as there is only one plain shirt 1t is evil dent that there can be no variations.
 There should be only one standard in full dress-that the plain, unostenta- tious, correct standard There is no room for the display of personal ideas and peculiar innovations. It is the in- terest of the trade, wholesale and re- tail alike, to work for the maintenance of the one proper standard. Evening dress calls for the utmost care in selection, and every retailer should know to a certainty what is right and stick to the best standard and not fol- low the ideas and the impressions gleaned from promiseuous gatherings where every man dresses as it pleases his own fancy. Haberdashers can recommend plain standard goods for evening dress without fear of either offending good taste or of ending the accepted standards of good form n.-Haberdasher.

DEAFNEss CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con, dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the muc> ous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness caused by ca tarrh) that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

 How much do you suppose a manu-
 facturer in Waterbury would lose the coming year, after taking similar
 tand to this? Common sense says that his income next year would be one-halr greater than it was last year. The Examiner man believes that there are today in Waterbury very many manu- lecturers who are possessed of the business good sense and acumen to do this very thing and that before May 20 they will do so. We believe, for ex- ample, that the managers of the Wa terbury Brass Go. will do exactly this. We have such knowledge Of the we'll known disposition and keen sense of justice of the president of this corpora. tion, Hon. James G. Elton, thatg we, feel sure that such is the exact course his own natural impulses will impel him to pursue. We would not be sur- prised if the Plume and Atwood Co.,, the Randolph and Cloves Co.,, and others did the same. There are some rich manufacturers, however, who, with their ancestors, bawled long and loudly they got rich during the war against black slavery in the South, but who still think that white slavery in the North is just about the correct thing, only their regret being that they cannot have enough of it. Such men will, of course, have to be coerced into humane conduct, if they are to con- tinue to be prosperous manufacturers The whole community will be elevated in civilization and general advance ment when this takes place. The world has outgrown slavery for any purposes The belief of the twentieth century is so advanced in the idea if universal freedom that it says: If the kingdom of heaven is to be gained by enslaye- ment, either of mind or body, then heaven itself is not worthy of being sought by the manhood of the race

A Novel Alarm Clock.

Many persons to whom the bedroom candle is still a familiar article of use must have noticed how apt the flicker ing of a candle at the point of extinc- tion is to awaken light. sleeper. Act ing upon the same principle is an alarm clock that has been suggested, consisting of a small electric lamp occluded rhythmically by a sectoral shutter, constituting the balance. wheel of an ordinary alarm clock. This lamp, automatically saswitcheds on at the predetermined hour, is focused on the head of the bed, and thus-it silent ly, but (so the inventor declares) none the less surely, awakens the sleeper London Optician.

this. neither did He draw the line at any
