BISHOP TlGERT.

ROmanti Career of One of the
Men Elected to This High Of
flee by the Methodist General
Conference.
DR.. John J. Tigert, who last week
was elected Bishop of the Southern
Methodist church at the general con-
ference in Birmingham, has had a
romantic career, according to the
louisville Times, which is published
III his native city. The Times says
# nIm:
CDR. T'gert, who is so years ofage,
'arose from the position of urlyer OF a
| delivery wagon in Louisville. He is
the stn of the late j. J. Tjgert, for
years pump contractor for the city OF
Louisville, and who conducted a
shop on Green street, between First
and Second streets. The family
lived next door to the shop. Young
Tigert was taken from school after
having gone but two years, that he
might assist in the, support Of the
family, and after that, hespent every
spare moment in studying. His first
position was driver of a delivery
wagon for a grocery and when max
ing his daily rounds in the wagon he
carried a book with him.
.'The boy entered the Broadway
Methodist Sunday School and his eff
forts to learn attracted the attention
of the Rev. DR.. r. II. Rivers, pastor
of the church, who gave him private
instructions preparing him to enter
Vanderbilt University, where he
went to study for the ministry.
lit was during the time he was a
student OF the university that he fell
in love with Miss Mary McTyeire,
daughter OF Bishop McTyeire, presi-
dent Of the board Of trustees Of the
university, but the match was not
looked upon with favor by the father.
Following a courtship under most
romantic circumstances, when the
young woman's father Was away, the
couple eloped and were married. For
several months Bishop McTyeire
would have nothing 10 do with his
new SOn-in-laW.
"In themeantime, Tigertprepared
himself to become a professor in the
university, and Was finally appoint
ed. On that day he was first ac-
knoWledged by Bishop Mcryeire.
He took charge of the moral and
logic department of the school. DIR.
Tigert has written several books,
among them is Tigert's Logic, which
book is being read in many schools"

Norfolk, Va, May 19-Irwin
Tucker, president of the Savings
Bank of Newport News, Va, COM
mitted suicide in his room owe the
bank in Newport News to-day just
as Chief of Police Reynolds, of that
city, opened his door to arrest him
upon a warrant charging him with
defaulting in the sum of $4,000
Tucker heard Chief Reynolds ask
negro porter on the outside as 10 the
location of his room, and standing in
front of a mirror, put abulletthrough
his right temple as the door was
thrown open.
The doors of the savings bank
have been closed pending an lnvesti-
cation, which is now being made by
the toard of directors. Cne report is
to the effect that the shortage may
am unit to $780, OO, but the directors

Chief Reynolds then Went to make
an investigation of fuckers bachelor

where The tragedy occurred. An ex-
animation of a safety deposit box in

that fuckers life was insured for

1t will be interesting to see how far tie
movement will carry uH.
One of the small sketches illustrates q
French street costume in which the sloping
coat line of which we hav We been speaking
IL we'll handled. Tit material was a chif-
fon broadcloth and the ekirt was circular,
with u seam down the middle front n
tiny buttons set down the full skirt length
on each side Of the front.
A loose triple coat was cut fairly ehort
in front, but sloped away to a length ak
or eight inches greater in the back. The
sleeve had the shoulder cap; which, In one
shape or another. is being much used again,
and a triple cuff. A waistcoat Of white
cloth lightened the effect Of the costume,
and on it were set tiny buttons matching
those on the skirt.
Apropos of dark coloring, the latest ad-
vices from Paris lay much emphasis upon
certain colorings which seem rather heavy
and dark for spring popularity, but which

double breasted fashion, but the masculine
eject OF the frock was softened after the
French manner. by the most fetching Of
little black satin oravats, in combination
with q oiismisstte Of exquisite embroidered
lawn and lace. A hat in the shade OF the
yellow Waistcoat and trimmed in several
blended shades Of the same color, with the
addition OF an enormous black egret, was
exactiy the thing for the costume, and the
whole trim effect was really refreshing n
distinguished in the midst Of the more
duffy and complicated frooks.
Yellow Of the dull gold and the wood
brown tones Is particularly good as q
relieving mote for the ubi1uitons gray frook,

short street frooks hangs as 1t should,
although there are successful coats galore.
The tendency with the average tailor is to

result Is a sharp defining Of the hips with

little plaits at the back which has taken the

acceptance on this side OF the water.
A Partisan note that is finding prompt
echo here is the returning favor OF the
polka dot. For a time the check and the
stripe have reigned supreme among the
silks Of small figure; but within the last
few months the polka dot has come back
with a rush, and, already familiar in Paris,
will be a feature OF later modes here.
IL is, however, not the subdued dot Of
y~esteryear. Small dots there are, but they
are In the minority, and some Of the new
silks show dots Of rather spectacular size.
Generally speaking, the modish dot
ranges all the way from the size Of a pea
to that Of a silver dollar; but the dot most
favored by the great d~reSsmakers Of Paris
ID about az large as a quarter Of q dollar,
o. O tribe smaller. Naturally this design
is too striking to admit Of complicated
treatment and must be skilfully handled
upon simple lines II 1t is to be chic rather
than bizarre; but there is no denying that
some Of these dotted frocks in foulard,
liberty, silk mousseline, DC, are extremely
attractive.
Our silk manufacturers have taken the
cue furnished by certain imported model
gowns, and within a short time the market
will be flooded with large dot silks; but
China silk and ordinary foulard are the
materials chiefly chosen for exploiting
the idea over here, and the results are very
different from those attained In the SHIN

The whole range Of sheer silken ma

the most transparent silk mourseline to
the silks Of the radium and Adrea class
these fabrics are beloved by the autocrats
Of fashion, and though taHeta has by no
Agspnns lost prestige, one finds it associated
with some more sheer material oftener than
alone in the French model frocks Of dressy
character.
We have spoken before Of the liking for
combination Of material and the tendency
grows as the weeks pass. This is u season
OF composite modes and of composite frocks.
The great dressmakers combine different
periods In a fashion to make a lover Of his
torio accuracy groau, but the results OF these
reckless combinations are singularly happy
and the modified modes are ~lovelier in al
most every instance than the modes OF the
periods from which the ideas were taken.
One Of the latest models has a Henri

having worn a first frock in the popular
black and white tones. Rougher English
suitings are also making themselves felt
among the smooth light weight materials,
and, for certain types of the tailor frook'
are u~ndeniably more attractive than the
smooth suitings.
ANord comes from Paris that as the spring
weeks go by there is an increasing demand

such as that of the Forty-second High
landers, have long been popular, but the
plaids of this spring are the Seaforth, the
Gordon, the Royal Stuart, and Others in
which light, bright hues and white pre-
dominate.
With a skirt of such somewhat agrees
sive material a one tone coat OF cloth or
silk is worn and the effect is decidedly chic;
but Paris has always taken more kindly
to plaids than has America, and it may
be that this particular mode will find no

Quatre front with deep revers and double
breast fastening with big buttons, and the
slashed sleeves are also OF Henri Quatre
suggestion, but the sides and back OF the
bodioe take on O bolero cut. the little coat
falling over q wide girdle which disap-
pears under the double breasted fronts,
and Paquin epaulettes ornament the Henri
sleeves. The thing sounds odd, but it is
particularly successful and shows no lack
Of harmony.
Another costume 10 a modification OF
Paauin's demi- Empire effects, n has an
Empire coat back united with a utaway
Chesterfield front, the fronts buttoning to
the embroidered waistooat with u but
tons on each side, This coat, first worn BY
Nine. Rolly in a new play at the Vaudeville,
Is excessively chic and not freakish, despite
its mixture Of periods.
One hears a good deal about costume
coats with sloping. cutaway fronts, recalling
the Chesterfield lines, and with olose fitting
sides and backs; and there is no doubt that
the tendency toward coat lines decidedly
longer In the back than In the front 10 on the
increase.
Coats Of lace; elk or embroidery, CLOSE
fitting, not meeting in front and sloping
away In a manner suggesting the classic
swallowtail, are embodied In some Of the
elaborate models lately launched, and are
worn over princess robes. Loose coats,
too, long or short, are cut NTH the slortng
and deepening bottom line, and many Of
the separate coats and wraps take this line,
accumulated to q degree recalling the old
time mantle or shawl.
Shawl or mantle ideas are reported az
noticeable in the late Monte Carlo showing,
and are, OF course, to be ranked among the
Second Empire modes concerning which
We INDUCED In prophecy last week. One
noted beauty appeared in a little mai.tle
of black lace and chenille, bordered by fringe
and held at the waist in back and front by
handsome Jet buckles.
The garment carried the observers back

tones, 10 to be worn more generally than In
any recent year. A new green Of the apple
class IL attracting favorable attention In
Paris and will, it ID said, have q prominent
place In the summer color gamut.
But to return to the silk voiles and gren-
adines. These materials are not Of neo0a-
sity associated with large quantities Of
taheta or ~broadcloth, although those COM
binations are, as we have said, very de-
sirable. The sheer silky stuffs, which wear
surprisingly well, In spite OF their s~heerness,
are made up into he most charming Of
little frocks, mounted over silk Of the same
tone or Of ~harmoniztns color and trimmed
In satin or velvet ribbon, with lace about
The throat and shoulders n on the sleeves.
Ribbon trimming Is particularly effective
upon stuffs Of this class, and often q skirt
Vim be adorned with rows Of rather narrow
ribbon for fully half Ito depth. the ribbon
being laid on fat and stitched IN the upper
edge. Ribbon and material are, Of course,
In the am color.
eomstimes two widths Of ribbon are usedl
q sinele wide ribbon and q group Of narrow
ribbon alternating; or, as In the case Of .
charming white silk wolfe model, wide inset
lace insertion may be combined with ribbon
bands Of varying widths. Many ideas may
be worked tut In this eimple trimming,

is used too upon the silk mousselines and
indeed upon all the sheer stuffs and is not
only laid on straight and fiat, but is plated,
quilted, ruched, ~&c.-another Second EN-
pire echo.
Little bands of bias panne matching the
material in color furnish another popular
trimming motif not difficult to handle and
are used II much the same ways as are the
ribbons. Bands of broadcloth, too, are
applied to the sheer materials, and a re-
markably pretty model now on view In a
Broadway shop has a skirt Of silver gray
mousseline de sole, trimmed in many mar
row bands Of b~roadcloth Of the same shade
and a loose bolero Of cloth with handsome
motifs Of Irish crochet and tiny plaitings
Of mousseline for trimming. A bodice or
blouse above the corselet of the skirt Ia OF
the mousseline with cloth bands and creamy
~yalenciennes lace.
The oorselet skirt holds its OWE and is
evidently to last throughout the season;
but the French makers are stunning the
mistake, apparent In soma Of the early
models, Of making the c~orselet 30 high
that It cute the bust and interferes
with the graceful curves Of the figure. The
oorselet Is now OF moderate depth, and
very often is cut down at the middle 'front.'
rising higher at sides n back.
1t is cut in one with the skirt, or, as Is
often the case even in the models for street
wear turned out by the most famous houses
the corselet Ia cut separately and in two
parts, each part, upper and lower, being
cut on the bias, 30 that the material will
stretch to At the curves above and below
the waist line. When properly made these
corselets mould the figure perfectly, and
as they are attached to the skirt they have
the advantages Of the princesse skirt, with
better chance Of fitting well.
Badly fitted, this attached girdle is ex-
cessively clumsy. and unbeooming, but az
Its best 1t has much to commend it. Bre.
telle arrangements are being advocated
