WHATS WHAT IN TOGGER1
Mems fashions take a jump into
form fitting clothes again
New effects very handsome.
"A word on correct attire
for the coming season.

With each seasons change Of style,
comes speculation among men who dress
carefully as TO what is the correct thing
TO wear There are numbers of men, dis
ciples of correct dress, who would like to
be among the first to be seen wearing the
new style, but are deferred by a fear
that they might unwittingly exploit the
wrong cut. A few brave ones take
chances as early birds, sometimes catch
ing the worm,. and sometimes catching
the laugh, while the others wait and see
before they promenade for style honors.
This season especially there has been
such marked change in the cut of mems
coats that ninety-nine per cent. of the
wearers do not fully comprehend what
the style authorities have been up to.
Last season men of fashion were wear
ing long, loose hanging coats with little
more shape than an ordinary cloak. One

Ordinarily the fashion makers are

the wheel of fashion slowly enough to

later without making an antique of the

UNCLE SAM OWES US
CITY OF MoNTGomERY TRYING TO
 COLLECT A DEBT.
tsovernment Has Not Paid for sidewalk Paving About Federal Buiid- fngs--Mayor TenEue writes
 Conxressman Wiley.

The United States Government owes the city of Montgomery s4,24s.9o, and city officials are anxious as to the pros poets of Uncle sam ever paying the indebtedness
 The Government made this large lia- biiIty to the city of Montgomery in 1897. 1898 and 1898. when the streets and sidewalks adjacent to the postofice building on Dexter Avenue. South Law renee and Washington Streets, were paved at cost amounting <a the fis- ures above named. Since that time Congressman Wiley has introduced bills at every session of Congress for the purpose of reimbursing the city. How ever, the City Treasurer has never, re- ceiycd the funds.
 Mayor Teague yesterday wrote a let ter to Congressman Wiley, calling hls attention to the failure of the Gov ernment to pay the debt. and urging that the matter be given prompt at tentiop by Congress. He referred to the omnibus bifl now pending in Con gress which carries an appropriation of sl2.00a for postoffice Improvements at Montgomery and intiinated that there might be possibility Of the city get ting It's money from that appropria- tion. if the bill Is passed.
 It is said that, even thorgh the Gov ernment would never voluntarily pay the debt. the city would not resort to compulsory measures to collect it.

WILL HE GET MONEY9
MAYOR TEAGUE MAY VETO AN
 ORDNANCE.
Measure Providing for Purchase of School Lot Is Refore Cify's Chief
 Executive for Action.

Whether or not J. c. Haas will be paid s14.5o0 for the cify's purchase of school lots. at the corner of Scott and McDonough streets, rests with Mayor Teague. and, before 2 o'clock tonight tho Mayor if he has not already taken action, will have officially approved or vetoed the ordinance for the payment of the money.
 When asked yesterday if he had taken any action on the ordinance, MT. Tea que declined to discuss the mat ter He said simply that the ordinance was still in his office.
 It will be remembered that the ord- inance appropriating the money was adopted by the Council Monday night of last week after heated debate. the vote being nine to six. On the lot. the city contemplates erecting new high school. The ten days for executive ac- tion will expire tonight. and unless the mayor has acted, the measure will be- come a law.
 Dating further back than the adop- tion of the ordinance of appropriation, the mayor was unalterab1y opposed to the purchase of the lot until after the city, had sold the s75.000 of school bonds, the proceeds of which are to be used for the purchase of the lot and the erection of the building. The bonds were subsequently, refused by the Fourth National Bank, the successful bidder on the ground of flaw in them.
 It is believed that the mayor in line with Ills former course, has or will veto the measure carrying the Appropriation, in such an event, the probabilities are that the mayors ac- ton will be upheld by the Council.

MAYORS DILEMMA
MR, TEAGUE SEEKS ADVICE AS TO
 PAVING CONTRACTS.
He wants To Know Ts He Has No Power xn Actions By City Conn-
 ctf Of a Permanent Char

spoes not the Mayor have jurisdict- inn in all measures of a permanent nature adopted by the City Council
 This much vaunted question mas come to Mayor Teague again ana he hns = again called upon City Attorney '. r. Mcintyre for an opinion.
 This time the question was brought about by the action of the Cdty council Monday night in awarding contracts for asphalt paving on Sayre street ana brick paving on South Hull street It will be remembered that the method the Council used in awarding the contracts was simply to adopt the report of the committee that had the paving matter under consideration as to one street and over rule 1t as to another and then to direct the Mayor to sign con- tracts for the work
 The papers reached the desk of MT. Tearue yesterday and it occurred to him that he should have the authority to pass upon the matter, otherwise he could see no other course but that ne was compelled tosdo as the Council had ordered and sign the contracts. Tn this dilemma, he addressed letter to the City Attorney asking for his opfn-
 If the proceedings are legal" said the Mayor, T will have nothing else to do but to sign the contracts. I am going to put It up to the City Attor- ney again. I don't see how the Councii can adopt anything of permanent na- ture without the Mayor havng an op- portunity to pass on it."
 The Mayor said 1t was not in this special instance that he wanted to have the authority to act He did not know whether he would approve or disap-- prove the action of the Council, That was a side issue compared with the precedent as to whether he can, in the future. have some voice in such matters.
 It will be remembered that some time ago the question came up and City Attorney C. P. Mcintyre. in that in- stance. advised the Mayor that he had nc power, 1t was purely mandatory upon him to comply with the directions Q. the Council. It iss however. believed by many, that the adoption of report of a permanent nature. operates as resolution and that the Mayor has pow CT to act.
 The representatives of the two con cerns to which the paving contracts were awarded, appeared at the Mayor office yesterday to sign up the con- tracts. MT Teague will wait until he receives the City At+orney's opinien and the contracts, if signed at all, will probably not be closed earlier than Saturday. Should the contracts n" signed, the companies must begin worK within ten days thereafter
