1t is altogether unlikely that anything
will ever be discovered that will lead any
person TO change his present opinion re-
garding the guilt of Charles L. Tucker,
who was executed for murder in Massa-
chusetts last week. There is however
little doubt that the general effect OF
this case, which has attracted such an
abnormal amount of attention, will be to
mark a distinct advance toward the abo-
lition of the death penalty. Maine ID

being agitated, as is to be expected just

warm and spacious Land OF afternoon.
In our small island home in which the sea Is
30 closely and generally associated with sand
the brine in British blood strengthens by alli-
ance our love for sand. The sand OF sands to
is that of the broad and shallow estuary which
has been washed twice a day for ages by the
salt sea water, and dried often by the salt
sea breeze-niles Of yellow sand, soft, dry and
powdery, in highest fringe Of dunes; firm and
cool to the bare foot IN middle spaces; pooled and
channellec in outer reaches by the heavier sway
Of tides, and graced by white winged gulls. We
have them around coasts. in the Moray
Firth, the Wash, the Bristol Channel and other
nlets. The best way of getting into complete
touch with such sands is to camp out for week
or two on their margin preferably under the
shadow OF a low cliff and within easy reach of
fresh water and village. There should be one
old friend as companion, and he gifted with the
blessing Of infrequent speech. Books must be

IN vogue in mems SUITS the tendency is toward
brown, and that color seems bound to predomf-
nate. A glance at the Smith & Gray assort-
Nent is sufficient to show that the styles for the
fall and winter modest but effective. In
coats the single breasted sack with slightly
rounded corners and vents at the sides back
is one Of the most striking garments shown.
Their overcoats indicate that many a young
man will wear his outer coat this winter close

Burnham & Phillips, tailors, for many years
established at No 10 Nassau street, have this
season opened new branch store at NO. I,lol
Broadway, and at both places OF business are
showing garments for men possessing many OF
those distinctive features which have served
- make the firm name guarantee of clothing
.-oesessing individuality and character
Not only do the offerings include all of the
varying degrees of street and evening dress,
but they afford as well ample evidence that the
makers have gone much out of the routine to
devise garments calculated to overcome some
of the discomforts of modern travel. Such e.
garment is the new driving coat now shown for
the first time. There is much about this gar
ment as whole to commend It TO horsemen
but its really distinctive feature is found in the
peculiar bell shaped cuffs. These look odd
enough at first sight, but their advantage is
clearly apparent once the garment is tried on

READY MADE CLOTHING.

Reached Perfection.

That the art of making ready made clothing
has this season reached that degree Of pcrfec-
ton at which the most critical observer can
distinguish scant difference between the tai
lored to order and the ready made garment is
the claim of Smith. Gray & Co, large clothing
dealers, with a store CT Broadway and S1st
street Manhattan and two stores in Brooklyn,
and certainly the showing of clothing for men
and youths made at all of them must go long
way toward convincing the skeptical of the truth
of such claim. The companys counters are
burdened with displays of suits for men in
many pleasing materials and colors. These show

DEATH AND RUIN IN
ROBURlT EXPLOSION
Twenty-four Killed and Ninety-six
Dangerously Hurt in German
Catastrophe.

Dortmund, Germany, Nov. 29.-It has
been ascertained that stwenty-four per.
sons were killed, ninety-six dangerous
~ wounded and several hundred slight
ly, by the explosion in the Roburit fac
tory, near Amen, last night.
The. explosion occurred at $3.50
O'Clock. An hour. earlier fire had
broken out in the factory, which is a
part of the Krupp establishment. The
fire brigade arrived at 8 o'clock, but
was obliged to retire because Of the
danger Of explosions. The neighbor-
ing Krupp factories were slightly dam
Up to 1870" O. clock this morning
eight corpses had been recovered and
eighty Of the severely wounded had
been conveyed to the hospitals.
The work of rescue is attended with
the greatest danger from the possibil.
lty OF renewal Of the explosions.
There were two tremendous detona-
tions, heard turnout the entire sur
rounding industrial region, which is
thickly settled. The town of Amen
is nothing more than heap of ruins.
Houses were shattered right and left
and no house escaped injury.
Roburit is an explosive Of high pow
er, composed of saltpeter, ammonia.
sulphur and other ingredients. It is
not easily exploded by a blow, and it
can be burned with safety in the open
dynamite. =
