WHAT MEN ARE WEARING

From the New York Sun.
Although there has been rebellion in
London against the extremely loose
clothes worn here, and these ample cuts
are described abroad as Americans. New
York tailo-s have shown no sign Of de-
ference to the dictum from the source of
all fashions for men. They have made
clothes a little bit closer in fit. perhaps,
but everything must still hang loose.
just as 1t has for two seasons.
The outlines of the figure are suggested
in coats cut by smart tailors, but they
are only family indicated. Trousers are
still very loose. On the other hand, the
clothes worn here by men just from Lon
don are tighter than they have been in
Years.
The same taste for solid colors that
has prevailed for two years is still
strong. Men wear dark browns, grays,
end even dark greens occasionally
rather than tweeds which used to be

worn so much for sack and rough cut
away coats. Blue is one color that has
little favor in winter because 1t is so
much used In summer.
The most distinctive feature in mems
dress this winter has been the renais-
sance of braid. Light overcoats have
light silk braid on the lapels and sleeves
and frock and walking coats have this
same finish. Braid has not oeen worn be-
fore In twenty years.
The BLACK diagonal cutaway coats
trimmed With this braid are the smartest
coats that come from London. The fash
ion attempted two years ago which made
the full tails of cutaway or morning
coat meet in front has not only passed
away, but has produced q violent reac-
ton. The new coats frequently meet on
ly to button in one place al
though there may be three buttons on
them. The space at the neck is very
low. but that effect is the result of
turning the collar back rather than of
the cut.
Frock coats are now made in diagonal

POTATO CARVING.
New York Man Artist In Making Queer

From the Baltimore News
A man with an Irish potato pinned
to his lapel leaned against the desk Mt
Joyce's hotel. He was Mr.. Albert
France of New York.
NO, I don't do this for a living" he
said, laughingly, pointing to the potato
which had been carved into the form
of a rose and looked almost as natural
as the genuine article. Il just cut roses
and things out of potatoes, apples, tur-
nips, carrots and beets for pastime.

is very simple. You take potato like
this, cut 1t down like this, carve out
the leaves like this, and the bulb, stick

you are. Having finished the carving,
you dip the whole into coloring solu-
ton of cochineal, and there is your

THE PIERROTS
WERE A FROST

The Worlds Famous Pierrots," ac-
cording to the program, descended on
Honolulu last evening, and before the
performance was over most of the au-
dience had drifted away.
A fair-sized house greeted the Pier
rots, who turned out to be an alleged
actor and actress, the latter having a
fair voice. The show as a whole is
well summed up by one of their songs,
Nothing new The first number on
the program was drama in one bad
act The climax was reached when the
long lost father in rags, found his
grown daughter living in a mansion,
and exclaimed in heart-rending accents,

The second part of the program con-
sisted of songs and recitations. Son

, to his joining the army. Captain Eberle
was a general practitioner, but of the
malaria he made a speciality. His work
of classifying the different types of the
malaria first brought him to the notice
of the medical world.
Captain Eberle returned to this
country on the transport Thomas yes
terday for the purpose of submitting
a revised report on the dengue germ
to the Surgeon General of the army.
He has sent in two reports and at the
request of the medical department he
has revised his work.
In speaking of the deugue germ,
Captain Eberle says:
THE microbe of the dengue resem-
bles closely that of the malaria, and
it is communicated to the human body
by a mosquito. The germ is very elu-
sive, and it cannot be properly exam
ined except in fresh blood specimens.
For twenty months 1 was in Jolo, and
was there during an epidemic of the
dengue. I made extensive researches
into the disease. which has baffled the
medical men, and my work has been
rewarded by the fortunate discovery
of the microbe. I submitted two re-
ports to Washington, and was encour-
aged to further research. revised my
work. and have prepared voluminous
report and drawings of the germ, and
will present them to the Surgeon-Gen-
eral I have named the microbe the

Another discovery worthy of mention
has been made during my stay in the
Philippines. For some time it has been
the impression that mosquitoes, to
which are largely due the spreading
of diseases, exist only in pools of wat
er and swamps, and in order to ex-
terminate them as much as possible we

THE CITIZEN LABOR LAW
ENFORCED TO THE LIMlT

scented yesterday morning with the fol-
lowing testimonial:
Whereas: The Honolulu Trades and
Labor Council, Territory of Hawaii, has
noted the firm stand taken by the
Honorable Acting Governor of Hawaii
in upnolding citizen labor. and
Whereas: Citizen labor is the very
foundation of a sound body polite. and
Whereas: Citizen labor only asks the
consideration due from one right think
ing man to another right thinking man,
and that due to a scale of respectable
respecting living and progress.
Whereas: Without this standard the
political and social standards of the
Hawaiian Islands must fall to an I'M
American and debased plane of think
ing and living, therefore be it
Resolved: That the Labor. Council
publicly thanks Acting Governors At
kinson for the most decided stand he
has taken and that we urge him to be
keenly watchful and persistent that the
citizen may not be robbed of his Ameri-
can birthright, a respectable living to
the Industrious and absolute self-re-
spect and political equality, and be it
further
Resolved: That the president of the
Trades and Labor Council be instructed
to personally hand to Acting Governor
Atkinson a copy of these resolutions.
Signed this the fifth day of August,
A. D. 1904.

Another step in advance has been
made by the medical profession. The
germ of the dengue has been found,
and, with that discovery, the way to
hold it in check from ravaging the
body of man is certain to follow.
To Captain Harry A. Eberle, a sur
geon of the United States army, is due
the credit of this noteworthy discovery.
For the past two years he has been
stationed in the Philippines, and while
there has had the opportunity of hand
ling numerous cases of this disease.
An epidemic of the dengue broke out
on the island of Jolo. and at one time
there were 400 cases in the hospital.
Observing the rapid travelling of the
disease through an infected district,
DR.. Eberle set about to find the germ
and if possible a preventative. Prior

The reason Mulliken and Green S

employ only frstclass BARRIERS who
know how to shave man quickly and
cleanly without roughing up his skin
and causing that uncomfortable feel
ing of having been peeled instead of
shaved. The shop is equipped with
every new and up to date appliance
known to the BARRIERS trade and there
is nst a shep in the south any better
fitted for doing d firstclass business
The shop employs only union men
and keeps enough Of them TO shave
everybody without those long waits
that are made necessary where only a
few BARRIERS are employed.
The men are required to keep posted
on the treatment CT the hair and the
best way to cut il. There are no two
men alike and no two men want then
