wA1srcoATs THAT DAZZLE.

Suspicion of Gray Appearing in Mems
 Evening Clothes, Peaked Lapels.
 If 1t were true that a man is known by the clothes he wears 1t wouldn's be safe to appear below the Fulton street dead line in some of the fancy waist coats being exhibited at the Hotel As- tor in conection with the convention of the Merchant Tailors' National ex- change.
 It is admitted by the more conserv- ative of the tailors that wall paper ef- fects bound with gilt cord and imita- ton diamond buttons are a triie ex- treme. There is not one of them however, who would not face deatt1 rather than appear in dinner coat cut with anything but peaked lapels What is more, they would dare apepar in evening clothes shaded from the proverbial dead black.
 Oxford and Cambridge clothes are the names they give to the variation from the ideal of a cenury, The for mer has just a suspicion of gray and the latter trifie more white woven into it. They all declare it's the prop CT caper now, only no one is ready to give statistics as to the number of such suits he has sold.
 There is an evening dress coat of the vintage of 1S42 on exhibition. Tc the man in the street who looks upor 1 clothes as a necessity rather than ar art the old coat doesn't seem far re. moved from the latest thing in cut. aways" bound with fiat braid and marking back to his first custom made suit if he happens to have been boy in the eighties.
 All the tailors agree that braid's tht | thing now. They have it not only or coats, but on waistcoats as well. SC much so, in fact, that sometimes you think you are looking at an exhibition | of braid rather than at something somebody might wear if he really didn't care what happened to him. | Collars on waistcoats and cuffs or coats are initiated by the ever present braid, only here and there the bralt gives place to cording.
 If you happen to own one of those shaped overcoats borrow one with 2 box effect, the tailors say-not quite g bag, only not too closely following the lines of the figure.
 Sack coats, by the way, are to have only two buttons, so fashion as ob served by the national exchange has decreed. They are not shortened from the effect prevalent this winter to any considerable degree and art less extreme in cut in this respect.
 Mouse color and blues are the pre-, ] vailing tints on exhibition, although | the browns are not forgotten. Over

POPULAR AS EVER.

 No Assaults Upon the President h. jure Him with the People.
 The number of pitfalls which have been dug for President Roosevelt and i into which he has not fallen is legion. About once in so often and sometimes , twice in awhile envious statesmen an- nounce that they have put the Presi- 1 dent in hole" It usually happens { that in a little while casual inquiry reveals the President large as life and i just as natural, and the most diligent search cannot Ind the hole about which So much has been said It is noticeable, too, that the people who are always putting the President in hole are those whose practices have been such as to bring them into un- pleasant notoriety because of Roose- velts independent way of hewng to the line, without very much regard to who is hurt thereby or. where tle chips may fall. For example, the meat packers were very angry, but they werewere compelled to clean up and
 when that fracas was over the Presi- dent was more popular than ever.
 Then the railroad managers and the ! trusts favored by rebates were going i to put the President in Q hole. They i dug the hole and fell into it them ' selves.
 Now, no one. not even his staun-
 chtst defenders, undertakes to say
 that the President it without faults 1 One of his faults is that he is too im-
 petuous and speaks out his mind
 pretty freely, but after all perhaps 1t { is just as well, for certainly there can i be no charge of deceit under such
 circumstances. There is a great diff 1 ference between impulsive speech and
 reckless action. The wisdom Of his position and of the action he has talk en or recommended has usually com ,mended itself very thoroughly to the American people. Roosevelt may be ,impulsiye, but he Is honest. That, af- ter all, is the most important vital
 part It Is not expected that any man
 will live his life without mistakes, but if they are honest ones the people are
 not disposed to find very much fault, It has never been shown or even sus- ipected that anywhere in his own of Iflcial life President Roosevelt ever
 proflted by a dollar in any transaction. He has never made any political bar gains for his own advancement, be-
 cause this advancement, for the most ipart, has come without his request kHe was nominated for Governor Q. New York because just at that time Efresh from San Juan Hill, he was
 ttSought to be very strongest and pro
 bably the only one who could be elect led. He did all he could tc prevent his knominatian for Vice President, with Eout which nomination he would not
 now be President. At the last nationa
 convention he had no opposition . Roosevelt's strength lies in the fac : that the people believe in his sturdy . rugged honesty and that is why hi' adversaries have never been able tc : trip him. The people are disposed tt , trust him and he is to-day undoubted , ly the most forceful personality fl

WASHING TON, THE MAGNET.
 CENT.

CEJN1s
 Back in the remote ages the ambi-
 tion of the tourist, the philosopher,
 and scholar was to see Rome and die.
 At a later period Paris, the frivolous
 and esthetic was the mecca; today
 Washington is rapidly becoming the
 center of attraction for the civilized
 world-the City Magnificent-whi is destined to eclipse Rome, Paris Ven
 ice, Berlin, and London in it's stately
 buildings, it's majestic avenues, its beautiful parks, and wealth of movu-
 ments. To a majority of Americans, Washington is known only as the seat of the Federal Government, with it's halls of Congress the nations capital, Few of the millions in the United States ever think of the changes that are going on in the creation of the magnificent Washington or of the many millions of dollars that are being expended for this purpose. If In the Washington has been Ia show place, ' those who saw 1t 10 years ago would scarcely recognize it as 1t Is today. A decade hence will present many more conspicuous changes to excite the ad- miration of the visitor. It's geographi- cal situation and topography lend themselves most admirably to the de- velopment now in progress. Since the filling of the Burnham commission report in 1902, the work already con- summated has been astounding Con- gress has authorized the construction of II public buildings to cost in the aggregate over $1S,000,O00 These in- clude the municipal building nearly completed costing $2,00O,0O0; the Sen ate office building, to cost $3,OOOO00; the new home for the Agricultural Department, at a cost of about $4,000,- 900; the new National museum, which will involve an expenditure of $3,500- 900; and several other minor struc- lures which are included in the plan of beautifying the city already beau- tiful Besides these public improve ments are many others of a semi- public or private character. For in- stance thei is the new Union station which is expected to be opened in June, and which, with it's grand sweep of plaza, will cost at least $5,- OOO,OOO, possibly more, besides the $11,- OOO,OOO expended by the railroads in grading and tunneling for the ap- breaches. Add the amounts expended by the Government and the railroads to the amounts to be spent by the An drew Carnegie, the George Washing

AN AsSUMPTIvE IDEA.

The Evening Times has not been
in favor of any particular pavement
but it has recognized the merits of all
the materials and especially the
rights OF the people who favor that
material to be heard in advocacy OF
their beliefs. While the paving prop
osition is something of public mat
ter it is also in large measure q
personal one to the property owners
who are required to pay for the same.
The expense becomes personal tax
to the individual, and is in a sense
a part of the Improvements to his
property. 1t is for these reasons that
the property owner should have a
voice in the determination OF the ma
terial which he desires should be used.
While these rights should not be per-
mitted to interfere with the general
good of the public, they are worthy
of consideration by the council, and
from the basis of the principle which
the legislature wisely placed in the
law permitting a majority of the prop
erty owners to become dictators OF
the material to be used in the con-
struction of the pavement.
The contention of the mayor that
himself and the members Of the city
council who had spent several days
inspecting the several kinds of paw
ing materials were better able to
judge what was best for the business
men of the city than these men them
selves, is assumptive, to say the least.
If the taxpayers of the city who are
required to pay for the improvements
had not taken the precaution to have
informed themselves as to the relative
merits of the several kinds of paving
materials it might have been neces-
sary for the mayor to have assumed
the position Of a quasi-public guard
ian over them.
But they have been giving as care
full attention to the matter as has the
mayor, in all probability, and they
have not been so situated that they
received their information direct from
the concerns interested in the paving
contract, which are, therefore, in a
position to give a roseate presentation
of the merits and supposed merits of
the material in which they are in
terested.

portant sea port and the national rev.
enues are seized until the demands
are complied with. 1t is argued that
this is not personal matter, but that
the debt is that of de facto govern
ment.
The practice does not stop with the
enforcement of such claims, however,
and is easily extended to the collec-
ton OF debts due from individuals.
In fact the debts which are claimed
TO be the debts of the government
established by revolution are in near
ly every case nothing more than the
contract of the individual making the
same, they in few cases having con-
sti1utional power to execute the same.
The chance for spoilation is so great
that spectators are willing to take
the gamblers chance on securing the
payment. These things are robbing
the Latin American republics Of their
richest natural resources and placing
them at the mercy of band of pub
lie spoilers who in time will throttle
the people and carry on the govern
ment merely for the advantage Of
these foreign corporations.
1t is time to call a halt and the
adoption of a principle of information
al law which would prohibit the ma
ton of the Spectator form using
force to collect an obligation which
the courts Of the country in which
the debt existed refused to recognize
as just or right would have much to
do with stopping the methods OF the
prospective spectators and saving the
material resources of these rich re-
publics.
