WOULD REFORM PRIZE RING
Abbreviated Apparel of Fistic Artists
Crates on Nerves of Some
Vanity One Reason.

Dress reform has struck the prize
ring with vengeance 1t first began
in England and bids fair to find en-
couragement here The costume of
pugllist heretofore has never been the
source OF much concern as long as the
fighter was capable of putting up
good bout. In former days boxers
wore knee trunks and sleeveless shirts,
Then ordinary tights were used. and
finally the shirt was discarded alto
gether. 1t was doffed as. superiuous.
However, many pugilists are vain,
and more than anything else like TO
display their manly forms to an ad-
miring crowd With the shirt dis
carded the fighter may fold his arms,
throw out his chest and pose. But he
takes more pains now TO show his legs
than his torso, Consequently trunks
and tights have shown a shrlnkage.
II ring apparel is too decollete. sug-
gests the New York Sun, the fact may
be laid to the door OF the fight pro-
moters. Wresuers are more decorous-
ly dressed when they so on the mat,
Their legs are not bare. There is no
reason why fighters under pinnlngs
should not be covered.

The church a social club. I hear men
call,
Where fashions finery is often
shown,
Whose vestments vice delights to
wear withal,
So hat its visage may not well be
known.
And virtue hath some other token
taken,
And sagely chosen now the outer
side
The undivided house by sin though
shaken,
Keeps virtues painted picture still
with pride.
Before, have vice and virtue changed
their places,
AS parties have their principles ex.
changed,
And vice hath worn the features OF
good faces,
While its whole work with wicked.
ness was ranged.
Then must the bard, in virtues in
terest ever,
Great truths proclaim and bring the
kingdom nigh,
Fo rightness labor, but for evil
never,
Permit a moments favor from his
eye
Make a true church of the yet IN
churched many,
Make heaven here, or be not sure OF
any.

T. T. Fortune has had to reply to
several inquiries as to whether he had
retired from the editorship of the New
York Age as well as from the Afro
American press association and the
business league. He has not so re-
tired, as in fact the columns of the
Age bear evidence. He could i'll be
spared from the negro newspaper

write such vigorous English, or be so
catholic in the estimate and treatment

not entirely agree with their methods.

AN IMPENDING CHANGE.

IL is certain that great change is
going on, and one of that subtle and
unpreceived kind the effect of which is
sure to be widely felt before il is
understood, not to say corrected.
How much it means of difficulty. OF
even disaster. in the business world
OF the future, il may be difficult to de
termine, but it will certainly have a
profound effect in shaping the pros.
poets even of the trust. 1t creates
conditions under which ii will be
growingly difficult to produce men
with the character and the intellectual
stamina which are necessary in the
management Of the great corpora.
tons. Men who have simply grown
up as clerks will never be truly com.
petent TO I'LL these positions. They
will become more and more men OF
detail. And the system of inbreeding
that is, OF limiting the filling of their
more important posts to men who
have risen through all the ranks OF
lower service,-which now is pro
claimed by some of our great rail.
ways,-is a policy as truly suicidal as
it is unintelligent. Great administra
tive positions require men who have
been accustomed to that independence
of action and that breadth of view
which only the responsibility of direct
ing their own affairs can produce. II
is a temper of mind and of spirit as
far as possible from that of the
lifelong clerk or employee. And no
problem in the business world is more
vital, or has farther reaching relations
than how such men are in the future
to be produced.-Henry A. Stimson in
Atlantic.
