The two carriers who had worked for the prizes but missed them by close slaves, F. W. Hopkins and R. S. Smart, were on hand, too.

SISTER ANTOINETTE
 SLEEPS LAST SLEEP
Sister of Charity Dies After Two Years Suffering-caIIed
 the "Llttle Saint"

Sister Antoinette, a Sister of Charity, died in St. Vincent's hospital, this city, at l o'clock yesterday morning, after an ill., ness of two years.
 Sister Antoinette came to St. Vincent's on the 28th of last January, and had re- mained there constantly ever since. The state of her health made 1t impossible for her to perform any of the regular work of the Sisters, and only now and then could she turn her hand to little things. Her gentleness, her patience, her great generous-heartedness these trials indeared her to all the Sisters in St. Vim cents.
 We looked upon her as a little saint" said the Sister Superior last night as she paid warm and loving tribute to her who had given her life to charity.
 Sister Antoinette was born in New Or leans and in the world was known as Miss Catherine Roche. She took the vows four years ago. Her last regular work was in Norfolk, Va. A sister of hers is a Sister of Charity in Syracuse, N. Y.
 The funeral of Sister Antoinette will take place in St. Pauls church at 9 o'clock this Monday morning. Interment will be in the Catholic Cemetery on the Southside.
 The Society of the Sisters of Charity was founded by St. Vincent de Paul, who died at the age of 80 in the year 1860, two hundred and forty-one years ago. That renowned saint expressed the wish that whenever Sister of Charity died she should be buried from her parish church, and that wish has been compiled with through the centuries

s..-.. os Barry English Clothes.

The reason for the 'baggy" appearance
of English clothes is given by writer in
The King, who discusses what he calls
the absurd theory that a mans clothes
should fit. 1t seems a paradox to say
that a good tailor never tries to make
them fit, but 1t is a pregnant truth never
theless. l remember worthy tailor hold
ing forth to me with due solemnity on
this subject. My American customers
he said, sometimes try to persuade me
that a good New York tailor is ahead of
us Londoners because he gives better
fit. reply that IL / wanted to make my
clothes fit the figure could do just as
well as or even better than my American
rival. 1t takes genius to make them
hang we'll, while the merest tyro can
make them fit. Wear a suit that fits you
for a week, and it is out Of shape and
wrinkled. A suit that hangs properly, on
the contrary, always looks well and shows
the art of its cutter, for 1t has style,
which the other lacks That is expert
opinion and is suggestive"

Now George was human, after all and so
he quaked to see
His honored parent in rage and in the

He saw whipping looming up, before

But did he act the towards part as

And stammer, too, and hesitate and say

O no! this little general looked his father
