wear II makes no difference to this; be-
cause those who do wear It are the very
high-class set. 1t Is not at all vulgarfzed,
and do not think that 1t will become so.
Where gray frock coat Is worn with
fancy trousers. the waistcoat matches the
coat But there are plenty of plain worsted
gray frocks In wear, which go with ditto
trousers, and these call for fancy waist
coat but not a very light one. Middle
aged men in this, as in every other season,
rather affect shepherds plaid trousers and
white spats. Black glace shoes are worn,
never patent feathers. or this there can
be no possible question.
The colored double-collar, mentioned at
the time of its introduction over year
ago, has come back with rather more en-
ergy behind it this season, but 1t Is only
worn with a jacket suit, and as 1t has to
match the shirt. because. although very 1T

high-cut waistcoats, the cufrs always snow

soft double collar, also mentioned last year
in one of my letters, has been tried again.
but with no more acceptance than before;
1t is not at all satisfactory thing because
It fops in q very unsightly manner. and has
tendency to override the coat collar at
the side, which makes a man look as
though he had accidentally put on his day
suit over his pajamas. Double collars are
not worn with anything but jackets. The
rule that they cannot form part OF full
dress, and consequently cannot be worn
with a tailed coat is still universally main
tanned among men who know how to dress.
The rule is violated pretty frequently by
other men. but that makes no difference to
its validity. 1t yet stands inviolate and the
place of the double collar is clearly and I'M
mistakably defined.

The Library of Congress team yesterday
afternoon played fine game, but lost by
a single run TO the Navy team, the score
teing . to 6.
Linthicum was on the rubber for the
Book Worms and held the heavy slug
gers of the Navy down in fine style. There
were six errors back of him. all of which
went toward giving the Navy the game.
Burlngame started the twiring stunt for
the winners. but retired after the fifth In
ming. when Lauder took his place, the lat
ter doing better work.
The playing of Hughes a second was the
best seen on the White Lot this season, he
accepting eleven outs and three assists
without error. Leech and Ingram for
Library played well.
Navy started scoring in the first inning,
when two runners got home. The Library
boys tied the score In the second inning.
Two hits and several errors gave Navy two
more scores In the third. One runner got
home in the fourth for Library
In the fifth inning Library batted Bur-
hngame all over the lot. and before the
side was retired had chalked up three runs
which gave them lead of two runs Navy
came in and secured another tally. In the
sixth inning Lauder went into the box and
held the Library team safe throughout the
rest of the game. while the Navy boys Sc
cured another tally In each of the sixth and
eighth innings.

but finding that 1t would be very danger
Gus to go about 1t openly. he took another
course and defeated their avarice by the
following stratagem: He commanded that
all gold and silver coin should be called
In, and that only certain kind of money
made of iron should be current. A great
weight and quantity was OF little worth,
so that to lay up twenty or thirty pounds
there was required a pretty large closet,
and to remove 1t nothing less than a yoke
of oxen With the diffusion of this money,
at once number of vices were banshed
from Lacedaemonia, for who would rob
another of such a coin? Who would un-
justly detain or take by force, or accept

hide nor credit to have, nor indeed of
any use to cut in pieces? For when 1t was
just red hot they quenched 1t in vinegar

HOW INDIANS SPREAD NEWS.
Creeks Have Speedy Communication
That is a Marvel to Whites.


The rapidly with which the news OK
orders given out from the Union Indian
agency and the Dawes commission spreads
to the remotest corners of the Creek nation
is a continual source of wonder TO the fed~
eral officials. When. in October, the regu>
lation compelling Indians to accept the pay
for their land In installments of $40 n month
was announced it seemed that every indian
In the Creek country knew 1t at once. for
the petitions for sale dropped OFF immes
diately. a few days ago. when the order
was revoked and the Indian was allowed 10
pay for his land at the rate OF $50 month,
practically everybody knew Ii the next day,
and business in the Greek land sales de-
partment suddenly became lively again.
When 1t is remembered that there are sew

Most OF the full-bloods live in the hills and

Creeks had regular couriers who carried

and at shutdown the people would gather

detail some one to pass 1t on to the menu

Cure for Ivy Poisoning.
From Field and Stream.


This Is the season when the person who
takes wood rambles Is very likely to suffer
for days thereafter with swollen wrists and
itching hands, sometimes suffering real
agony, from Ivy poison. Poison oak and
Ivy are much like the copperhead snakes in
the hills in that both seem to try hard to
torture human beings with their poison,
and will do SO II they come too close, es-
specially In the spring. A physician once
told us that there was nothing that would
cure ivy poisoning quickly, but that DOCTOR
ing it and letting 1t alone took about equal
time. SO he advised washing the parts af-
fected quite often, and letting 1t take its
course. Now, the cure consists In a very
simple adherence to two things: Preventing
the spreading of the poison, and drying it
up quickly. Its spread can only be pre-
vented by washing frequently with hot
water; Its cure by amounting the affected
parts with tincture grfndelia. procurabJe
in any drug store, as soon the skin has
been dried. Every camp outfit should con-
tain q four-ounce bottle of grindelia. Its
cure is very rapid, and 1t soon stops the
almost unbearable itching by which ivy
poison is first noticed. This remedy is a
very old one, but it is not known as well
as 1t should be.
