Do you blame a man for being
hard to please about his clothes?
We don't. The fact is we are
hard to please ourselves-hrst about
clothes, then about manufacture
in fact, everything else pertaining
to the clothes we sell. But there
is the success of our ever increas-
ing business.
The worry is done in advance of
you. The "hard-to-please" man
becomes easy-tells his friends

IRRIGATION OF ARID LANDS.
Mr.. NeyvIands' Dinner Said to Have
Made Converts.


Representative Francis G. Newlands of
Nevada gave a dinner at the New Will
lard last night to about fifty members of
Congress and Navy Department officials,
who are interested in the subject of irri-
CATION of the arid lands of the West.
Among those present were Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson and a number
OF Eastern Republicans in Congress who
have been regarded heretofore as apa-
thetic, il not actually hostile, to the in
terests of irrigation During the evening
many speeches were delivered, one CT the
most important being that by Secretary
Wilson.
Mr. Wilson expressed himself as heart
lily in favor of irrigation, as did also some
OF the Eastern men. Mr. Wilson pointed
cut that the idea that irrigation of the
crs by competition was mistake. It is
said that many OF the Eastern Represen-
tatives, who have heretofore opposed irri-
gation, have been converted.
A bill will be pushed during this session
providing for the sale of public lands in
the West in parcels not to exceed sixty
acres, the proceeds Of which shall be de-
voted to constructing and operating irri-
cation reservoirs and the paraphernaIia
incident thereto
1t is understood that Representative
Joseph G. Cannon Of Illinois, Chairman of
the House Committee on Appropriations
favors an appropriation during this Con-
gTess for starting the actual work of irri-
eating the arid lands.

May Have Been Made.
RECEIVED SAFELY IN new YORK.
Shipped by Shaw & Berry, of This
City-PoIice OF Two G ties at
Work Upon Disappearance
Of the Jewels.

The local Police Department has been
asked to cooperate in the solving OF the
mystery surrounding the disappearance of
$500 worth of diamonds from sealed
package which was shipped through the
Adams Express Company by the jeweIry
firm of Shaw & Berry on December % TO
Joseph FranheI & Sons, manufacturing
jewellers, at IS Nassau Street, New York.
Package Sealed by Firm.
The package is said to have been put
up and sealed under the immediate super
vision Of the members of the firm. When
it reached New York and was delivered
the seals were apparently in perfect or
der.
When the package was opened everything
was found according to the inventory ex-
cept a handsome lorgnette chain. The
missing chain was ffty-four inches long,
set with 200 Diamonds in platinum, and
were valued at $4,000.
No Clue Found.
All interested parties were Immediately
notified and the detectives in both cities
set to work TO find the missing jewels.
The detective force of the express com
pany was also pressed into service, but,
despite their united efforts, no trace Of
the missing Jewels has been obtained
The robbery gives every evidence of
haviEsz been committed by professionals,
and was cleveTly executed.
Had the entire package been taken its
loss would have been Immediately de-
tected, but the abstraction OF the one ar
ticle makes it exceedingly difficult to
locate the point where the robbery was
committed
Great Reserve maintained.
All Interested parties are extremely ret
icent regarding the affair and are endeav-
oring to keep it quiet.
Very recently, however, facts have come
into the possession OF Messrs. Shaw &
Berry which place a somewhat different
aspect upon the affair. They appear to
believe that the whole matter has grown
out Of a mistake. ard are inclined 10
think they have already solved the

MARRING THE GIFY'S BEAUTY.
Electrical Engineer Protests Against
Telephone Company's PIane.


Telephone Compahy's PIane.
According to a report submitted to the
District Commissioners by the Electrical
Engineer. the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is preparing to invade
certain sections of the city with poles,
wires, towers, and platforms to an extent
which win make the overhead wire NUS
anee menace to the beauty Of the Ma
tional Capital
The Electrical Engineer recommends
that certain changes be made in the per-
mits issued to the company. with view
TO holding a little closer the control of
the construction Of overhead electrical
apparatus.
According to the report the Telephone
COMPANY is intending to string a con-
siderable number of aerial cables for the
conveyance of wires, stringing them, IN
der the monthly permit system, On their
alley lines. The reason for this is given
as desire ON the part Of the company
to meet the demand for telephones from
would-be subscribers
The Electrical Engineer states that this
class Of construction requires the plae-
ing OF towers- platforms cable boxes
and ether appurtenances on certain poles,
from which the w!res distribute to the
various houses. He says the cable-pole
towers are unsightly, and require the use
Of very tall and heavy poles For the
information OF the Commissioners pho
tOgraph OF a portion of E Street is en-
closed showing some of the construction
in the very heart OF the city.
II Is recommended in the report that
the telephone company be notified that
they VIII not be permitted to erect any
more aerial cables under the monthly
permit plan, but that each construction
of that kind shall be made the subject
of special application, to be consid-
cred on its merits apart from other ap
plications. The Electrical Engineer spe-
cially recommends that the company be
not allowed to erect any more cable pole
