ovERcoAT COST s15,ooo.
It Was Lined With Sable and Will Not

From Mems Wear.

From Mems Wear.
 A New York tailor who gets the cream of the metropolitan trade remarked the other day that he had read with good deal of surprise an advertisement of one of the large ready-made clothing houses in which they called attention te over coats at s75. "I did not suppose they went as high as that" he said. 'Of course. l very frequently make overcoats at Slw and over. but this advertising of high priced stuff shows ready-made clothing is gaining ground among the class of peo- pie to whom price Is no consideration. Apropos of overcoats," he went on, "I made an oyercoate not long ago which cost the owner sl5,00O It had Russian sable lining. with q shell of quality pro- portionally rich A Russian sable skin Is not very large you know not as large as good sized mink, in fact and II takes about sixty to make lining The average cost per skin is something Ike S2O0 so you can readily see where the value comes in. No, 1 admit l don make many like this. and l don't care to. After the skins were brought here by my client that coat had my entire thought until 1t was completed and delivered, and, of course. had to insure it all the while 1t was in work.
 In spite of it's great cost, such gar ment would not stand much hard usage The sable is a very fine and delicate fur almost to as great degree as chincrilla but if is undenlably rich and beautiful, and that it IS so highly favored by those who can afford 1t Is, on that account not to be wondered at although suppose if coonskins were rare and valuable it would have quite as enviabe a vogue among the exclusive. But if isn't ques- ton of wear with those who can indulge in the luxury of sabics. In fact 1 be- lieve. 10 mention it's wearing qualities would seem a positive denerit with some. at any rate. it would not be much of q recommendation.
 AS class. the very wealthy are not hard on their clothes, however. They buy the very bcst, of course. and as it happens the finest clothes arc moi by any means the most durable. Tho shell of this sable overcoat for example was woven of lambs wool Now, lambs wool is so very soft that l. will not stand hard usage. Any ordinary man buying q coat of this sort would go through it in no time and swear he had been cheated but the man of wealth and fashion has some sort Of a garment especially suited for every occasion. and as consequence none Of his clothes are outworn. They are in some cases as. good for all practical pur- poses when he discards them as they were when they left the shop"

 Because Watchmen Were Discharged,

Cleveland. April 2.-The Leader tomor. row will say:
 Enough dynamite was found under a hoisting engine in the Taylor arcade In Euclid avenue yesterday to wreck that building as well half dozen others which cluster about it.
 Hurney Claypool, night watchman in the employ of the American Bridge com pany, which is building the Taylor ar cade. confessed to detectives that he placed the dynamite where it was found because five of his fellow watchmen had been discharged. This makes the second time that dynamite has appeared as an element in the labor troubles resulting from disagreement of the contractors constructing this building with the struc- tural iron workers.

London. March 21.-According to the
Daily T~elegraph's correspondent at
Toxic 1t is now estimated that several
thousand persons were killed by the
recent earthquake in Formosa. The
whole island was shaken from early
morning on Saturday until late at
night, the shocks being almost con-
tinuous. On the same day slight
shocks were felt in Japan. Before the
following morning five distinct shocks
occurred at Kumamoto. kilograms
from Formosa state that the prosper
Gus towns Of Datiyo, Raishiko and
Shinko- were completely destroyed. At
Kagi alone 1000 natives and seven
Japanese were killed. At Datiyo 600
bodies have been recovered from the
open fields, to which the people had
fed only to succumb to their injuries.
At a rough estimate the damage
amounts to $3.50 0 900.
