vened three proposals were laid before
it, none of which was adopted. The
first was resolution offered by Mr..

statehood legislation in the house and
reaffirming the caucus action taken at
| that time. Another was "a resolution
by Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania provid-
ing that the statehood bill be made the
subject of conference between the two
houses. The third was an amendment
to the resolution offered by Mr.. Taw-
ney recommending that in such con-
ference the house conferees be in
structed TO insist on the house pro
visions of the bill
Appeal of Delegates.
Delegate Rody of New Mexico made
n strong appeal for concurrence in the
senate bill. However. he did not make
any motion to this end. Other speeches
were made by Representatives DaIzeH

ries, and Powers, Maine.

GOOD ROAD TEST.
Illinois to Try Four Kinds Of High
ways to Get the Best.

Illinois to Try Four Kinds Of High
ways to Get the Best.
The pet hobby of the new state ad-
ministration In Illinois-good roads or
hard roads-is to be given crucial
test in Springfield in the near future,
says the New York American. In view
Of the agitation the subject has stirred
throughout the state 1t is expected the
proposed experiments will be watched
with keen interest
After numerous conferences with
Governor Deneen the good roads COM
mission and A. N. Johnson Of Wash
ington, federal road expert, have de-
cided to construct a sample mile Of
road in South Sixth street. just out
side the capital city. The first half
mile is to be constructed Of twelve
inch macadam rolled down to eight
inches in thickness. The next quarter
Of mile will consist Of four inches Of
macadam laid over the native black
loan after the loan Is burned to the
depth Of eight inches. The next eighth
of mile will be Of burned loan rolled
compactly. and the last eighth will be
shale laid to the depth Of eight
inches and burned on the surface.
The state will furnish the materials,
and Washington officials will furnish
men to take charge Of the construc-
ton. From time to time examinations
will be made to determine the wear
ing qualities Of the various materials
as basis for demonstrating which 10
the most serviceable at the least cost.
The fate Of the good roads move
ment depends largely upon the result
Of the experiments.

Of Baltimore, for to the south and east
Of the city are over fifty miles Of this
kind Of construction on roads which
are in continual use. as they reach tho
large vegetable farms which lie ad-
jacent to the shore Of the bay and Its
tributaries. Most of the product OF
these farms Is carried to the city In
wagons, some Of which transport two
and three tons, yet the highways can
be used at all seasons Of the year, and
even when the frost Is working out Of
the ground in the spring they are in
almost as good condition as during the
dry season. It must be said, however.
that they are seriously neglected, and
repairs may not be made to the sur
face for four or Eve years. Conss-
quently they become rather rutty, but
one seldom finds hole where the sur
face has been broken through.
The same Is true of the Eastern
Shore, where sufficient shell has been
laid down, and the problem Of good
roads in Maryland, so far as this Sec
ton is concerned, would seem to bs
solved by the application Of shell. al
though short section Of highway has
been made out Of furnace Stag, which
has given excellent satisfaction.

STYLES IN COATS.
Origin of the Getaway Frock, the
Sack and the Dress Coat.

origin Of the Getaway Froclk. the
Sack and the Dress Coat.
The modern cutaway sprang from
the body fitting justaucorps of the
French as known to the court.ers OF
Louis NV. md Louis XIV, and the gar
ment was in turn probably evolved
from the frock or tunic worn i'll the
fourteenth century.
The first trace Of cutaway III any
thing like its present form, says the
Sartorial Art Journal, is seen in Old
prints of French military uniforms.
early in the eighteenth century. For
civilian use it was worn in England
about 1885 as riding coat, the tails
being very long. In 1888 it was adopt
ed in France for walking as we'll as for
riding and was then in shape and cut
much nearer the modern getaway than
any of its predecessors, though it was
usually double breasted.
Early In the nineteenth century the
cutaway had eight or nine buttons.
only the fourth, fifth and sixth being
used. This admitted of the wearer
showing his neckcloth, fancy waist
coat and frilled shirt to the best ad-
vantage. Not till 1910 or thercabout
did the cutaway become a 5, identi-
cal with the modern garment and since
then the changes in its shape have
been comparatively slight. In 1871 the
word GETAWAY" became fixture In
the language.
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington. with it's flaps button2d
back: the coat worn by Nelson at the
battles Of ST Vincent, the Nile and
Trafalgar, and the coat worn by Napo-
leon when on his way to st. Helena
were all in general way similar to
the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat OF our
time is a refined younger brother. So
to speak, Of the cutaway frock. and
for it we are indebted to the French
who OH the other hand credit the Eng
fish with originating the coat that has
evolved into our double breasted frock
The coat last named was introduced
into France by Montesquieu in the
year 1850.
Incidentally. we may add. the pres
ent black dress coat has by the Eng
+! fish speaking nations been restricted t.
| evening wear little more than half 3
! century. In some continental coun
! tries the dress coat is proper form
for wear at court or other important
formal assemblages held in the day
time.
The sack coat probably dates from
! the 'Macaronies, who introduced i
into England in 1872. though Il gar
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of Cromwell's day.

A Queer Thing About July.

How we came to pronounce July as
we do now with the accent OH the sec
ond syllable is one of the unsolved mys
teries Of speech. Named, OF course. aft
er Julius Caesar, it should really be pro-
nounced to rhyme with duly" and so
our forefathers actually did pronounce
it. Spenser, for instance, has the line,
Then came hot July boyling like to
fire." and even so late as Jolnson's
time the accent was still ON the "Ju."

startle those ancestors of ours. spoken
as we speak them now.-London
