Color In Mems Clothes.

No longer satisfied with the dreary
black coat, men are at last beginning
to adopt clothing of bright color and
vivid pattern. Especially is this the
case with sporting men, owing to the
fashion set by the king. During his
majesty's recent stay at Sandringham
he adopted a very snowy style Of dress,
consisting of a scarlet tam-o' -shanter,
a drab Norfolk jacket and knickers and
brightly eolored hose. The efforts to
relieve the somberness Of mems cloth
ing have been specially directed toward
the production of stylish fancy vests.
Particular attention has been paid to
the buttons Of these garments. the tai
lor and the jeweler having tried to out
do each other in the beauty of their
productions The latest development
in this direction is the reproduction in
miniature of famous works Of art, such
as the most beautiful female portraits
by such artists as Gainsborough, Rom
ney and Others-London Tailor and
Cutter.

The Pope's Golden Jubilee.

As he is hale and hearty and pos
sesses such high boyish spirits one is
apt to almost associate something OF
the young man with Pope Plus X, vel
the announcement made that in two
years time the golden jubilee of his
ordination to the priesthood will take
place and that already a movement has
been started in Italy to provide suit
able recognition at the proper time
proves that the holy father is far from
being a young man. Already his re-
duction OF papal ceremony and eti-
quette to a minimum has. apart from
his Office, gained him hosts of friends,
and there is every expectation that
when the occasion arrives fitting appre
ciation will be made not only in Italy,
but throughout the world. - Boston

Strike at a Funeral.

The abandonment of body while the
funeral was actually in progress marked
a climax in the strike Of the funeral
drivers union in New York yesterday.
A requiem mass was being SAID at the
Church of the Guardian Angels over
the body of Charles McInhargY, who
died Thursday. Outside the church
waited the hesrse and six carriages.
In the midst of the mass a man, said
to be a delegate for the striking union,
came up on a run and whispered to each
driver. Immediately all of them drove
away. When the pallbearers emerged
from the church bearing the cssket, with
the family and friends following behind,
there was no sign of hearse or carriages.
After an hours delay Undertaken Slevin
sent a wagon to the church, and in II
the body was carried to Calvary. The
relatives had to make the trip to the
cemetery in street cars.

Railroad Accidents.

On Concord Hill, a steep grade, six
miles east of Lynchburg, on the Nor
folk and Western Railway, at 4 o'clock
Yesterday morning during dense fog
the second section of eastbound freight
train No. 90 ran into the first section,
which was being assisted over the grade
by two pusher engines. Two of the
engines were derailed, one being thrown
so feet down an embankment, and foar
cars of coal and one of lumber tele-
scoped and crushed into kindling Two
engineers and two fremen were killed,
and four Others of the train crew in
iured. The accident occurred on the
wors. grade on the Norfolk and Western
east of the Blue Ridge, where a block
telegraph station, it is said, has not
been located because of the steep hill.
The trains follow each other in plain
view for several miles, but in this in
stance the train in front could not be
seen on account of the fog.
A disastrous wreck on the Norfolk
and Western Cannon Ball express was
averled at Berkley Junction, near Nor
folk, yesterday, only by the ditching OF
an engine and three freight cars on the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad. Seeing
the rapid approach of the Cannon Bal
on the track occupied by his engine anc
train, the Norfolk and Southern engl
neer dashed into a switch just at lh'
moment the fast train sped by. The
Norfolk and Southern engine and three
cars went into the ditch and wer'
wrecked. A moment later and th'
Cannon Ball, with its hundred or more
passenger, would have been mass 0
ruins. The crew of the wrecked engine
jumped and saved themselves. Coniu
sion in signals was responsible for th'
accident.
