 In nothing does the average man show taste or the want of it so clear ly as in the choice of his fancy waist coat, says a writer in the Haberdasher. Here no hard and fast rules hedge him, and consequently the temptation to enl- brace the odd and outer is strong. The very fancy waistcoat is out of it. It has had its run, and now the inevita- ble decline has set in.
 The waistcoats for autumn are more conservative and in decidedly better taste. The plainer the cut and the simpler the treatment of collar, lapel and pockets the better the garment squares with fashion and fitness. Col lar and collaTless waistcoats both have their devotees, though the tendency seems to be to dispense with the collar whenever possible. Several new waist coats intended for wear with the even, ing jacket have been introduced. One is made of suede gray mercerized fabric and is cut single breasted. It Is patterned after the single breasted evening waistcoat and fastens with three mother of pearl buttons, there being mock button at the bottom, Another new Waistcoat for evening jacket functions has long roll collar, q peaked lapel and closes with four crystal buttons. This is a French idea. The mode allows a. good deal of iati- tude in waistcoats for day wear, but evening waistcoats must be severely simple. Absolutely nothing else wall anaxUaF

Zionist Leaders Chastaaement oa
 His Son at q Ball Game.
 John Alexander Gladstone Dowie, IL, D., son of the prophet John Alexander Dowie, had his ears boxed publicly by his reverend father the other day, says Chicago dispatch to the New York World. The fiery wrath of Elijah IT. descended upon his sons head at baseball game, in the excite ment of which the young man had al- lowed his mortal tongue to express his mortal thoughts.
 Half the population of Zion City was on hand to see the game. Sam Peters threw to second when he should have thrown to first.
 f'You d--d fooly' broke out Elijah III. The scandalized spectators fell back. Deacons and overseers gathered and discussed the situation. The master of Zion must know.
 You. Deacon Hardy, go to our heal CT, and may you have grace to break the news gently" said Deacon Mills. After a word of prayer Deacon Hardy started on a run. He found Dowie in the temple.
 Peace to thee, Dr. Dowie," he pant ed. He trem blingly told the prophet of his son's lapse. Like flash Dowie was off in his chariot and four for the desc crated spot. Apart from the onlookers stood the guilty one.
 .Aye,' said the healer to his brother, ''my hosts are obedient unto me. Sec how they shrink from the infected one. They will not be contaminated by him."
 The coach was stopped. The father sprang to the ground and with his strong hand chastised his son.
 May you receive forgiveness from God, but from me take that and that and that and thatp' he said as his sons head shook beneath the blows.
 John Alexander Gladstone Dowie, IL. D., slunk away home. At the Chi cago university he recently graduated at law.

sKAT PLAYERS AT ST LOUIS.
To Participate in the Tournament at
 Worlds Fair Next June.

To Participate in the Tournament at
 Worlds Fair Next June. Two thousand members of the North American Skat league will contest under one roof and at the same time next June for the Worlds champion ship at one of the most scientific of games.
 The tournament will be conducted in one of the large ball on the Worlds fair grounds at St Louis. There will be two sessions, one at 2:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, June II, 1904, and the other at o'clock on the same evening.
 Henry Kortzjohn, president of the North American Skat league, by di- rection of the organization, which has branches in every in every large American city, has accepted the invi- tation extended by President Francis, of the Louisiana. Purchase exposition, and local committee of St Louisans has been appointed to make arrange ments and provide entertainment.
 Prizes valued at more than $S,0OO will be distributed among the winners of the great skat tournaments There will be no cash prizes, however, all trophies being souvenirs or articles of practical use.
 The hall where the tournament will be held will witness the largest card game ever played in America. The hall will contain 800 tables with four chairs to each table, and. skiliful player will occupy each chair. Ex- pert skat players from every section of America will participate in the games. The tables will be widely enough separated to allow free pas sage between them. The players when they enter the tournament will banish all other thoughts from their mind save the game of skat. White aproned walters will pass around and supply them with refreshments. Skat players as rule, are inveterate sn1ok- CTS, and the harder the game the thicker the smoke becomes.
 These tournaments will be the main features of the annual convention of the North American Skat league, and the convention will hold sessions on June n, 12, IS and IA. While there will be but 2,00O players who will qualify as contestants in the tourna- ment, double that number will attend the convention and will witness the contests for supremacy among the ex- perts. The delegates to the conyen- tion will be. the guests of the local skat players and the Louisiana Purz chase exposition. The national presi- dent, Henry Kortzjohn, and the na- tional secretary, N. E. Peter Schmidt, are residents of St Louis
 The following local committee will have charge of arrangements during the invasion of the skat players Cas- per Koehler, president; Herman Over stolz, financial secretary; Herman Morrell. treasurer, and Ernest Helf- ensteller, Bernard Tholman and N. N. Kaufman. {.

 Several weeks ago Reiff received an offer from a turfman who is a member of the French Jockey club. The sup position-is that the offer would not have been made unless the prospect for the riders reinstatement was good. That the French are disposed to take him back Is shown further by the fact that he received a second offer He thereupon signed contract and for warded his application for license.
