Now he Is about to startle New York by wearing evening clothes of white broadcloth. He has already given his tailor the order His new evening wear will be supplement. ed by long Spanish cloak that can be thrown over the shoulder. Such garments were worn by grandees and jewellers.
 The suit was cut in strict accordance with the prevailing mode. The coat Is to be lined throughout with wht-e silk, and the lapeis are to be faced with the same material The eofiar will be of cloth, for 1t was thought that white we've. which was permissible, would easily become solled. The coat will be trimmed with three white buttons in front and two at the back. The waist coat which has three buttons, will be of the same material as the coat. Its only ornamentation will be white zigzag embroidery around the edges. The trousers will have a white silk braid down the outside seam

New York, Feb. 23.--Benigh ed must be the person who has not heard or New York's Chinatown with its crazy, narrow streets, its tumble dowr dingy buildings, it's picture of sqnalor by day ana us picturesque setting by iiight. but II ne visitor from the country Cevery place outside of New York is country to the New Yorker) doesn't hurry up and take Q look at if he will not have he oppoI- tunItv for the Oriental quarter Is doom ed The acre and half of ground that 1t occupies Is to be swept clear or the strange miami-like mass that goes 70 make a Chinatown and in its place VIII he made a spot of green grass. flowers, trees and bubbling fountains-a park for the benefit of the Bowery.
 Ancient cabs and rickety hacks took o,,r forefathers to see China own but the "rubberneck" wagon, a variety or tha autonible family. carries the person of today who likes to take peek at Oriental vice in the altogether. First he visitor is taken to the Temple, the horne If the Great Joss. where there's s inc constant din of drums and the stiff ling odor of burning incense. Then ne may be taken to the curio. shops to puy Chinese curios that were made Tn tnis country
 Next he enters ths portals of the theatre where the interminable Chinese pIays are presented. If the clouds or smoke from bad cigars does not blind him he may see a yellow-fa audience sitting stnrk upright as though in death never smiling or frowning of uttering a word az 1t follows the performance on the scenery yless stage. The performers are not modes in the use of pa mt and all try to talk like women. The result is not pleasant to hear or behold. It gives one a creepy feeling. If the actors keep at 1t with regularity and have good luck hey may finish one play In six months. It seems strange to anAm- erican that the actors can take any in- terest In their work for they receive no encouragement. The Chinaman never appIauds He usually knows every line of the play and If an ac or wabbles he is prompt to signify his disapproval
 After the thea re, if the visitor craves view of real vice he may get it bv paying liberal fee to a guide who will pilot him through labyrinth of dark passages 70 a small room furnlsh- ed with couches and tn, paraphernalia for smoking opium. Finally when his eyes become accustomed to the dim light and his olfactory organs are reconciied to the sickening odor he will be able to see a mixed assembly of bIeary-eyed. gaunt, yellow-faced men and women loiling about as though life were a nuisance to them.

A woman VIII pegin cooking pills that's the preparation of the opium) and all will begin 70 smoke Then they will fall over as though in sound sleep. The slnhtseer will shiver with horror, or, in dissus., ask the guide to take him away. he probably wouldn't stay awake nigh s afterwards reflecting upon the evils oI a great city if he knew he had peeh made the victum of a cunning bit or de- ception. Doubtless he inmates or the den do smoke opium when they ieeI like 1t, but they weren't smoklng the real thing when the visitor was present. I. is all a trick to get the tourists '!ekels That's Chinatown. the show place.
 The real Chinatown is something different The real China own IS place of hideous vice; of old rooKeries with numberless small rooms scarceiy large enough for a couch where human beings hudd.e together like vermin; or mysterious corridors and underground tunnels which enable the guilty es- cape and furnish them means or hlding their victims from the police; or secret gambling houses and Of dark rooms where members of one Tong 'societyl gather and plot he murder or mem ber of rival tong.
 Murder is of small consequence 10 chinamen. When they get ready they shoot their victims in the back If they can and they keep shooting until the police in errupt The police always make numerous arrests after one Of these street fights but no one Is ever sent to prison for the reason there Is no evidence. A Chinaman though dy- ing will never inform on another.
 Only the razing of Chinatown will re- veal all of its secrets. San Francisco thought she knew her Chinatown but the earthauake brought to light situ- ation almost lnconceivable.

It was the same story after Private Enrice Caruso had been drafted into the Italian army. He was a youth of nine. there reported him for singing.
 Major Moglitati was the name. and Rieto was the home or station, of the mole-eyed immortal who discovered something unusual In this voice and who after reprimanding the drill sergeant, promptly assigned Private caruso to spend all the leisure that his military service allowed in study with the teach CT of the regimentai band.
 Sorrento heard the first tenor sobs of Caruso on an opera stage. 1t cost Sorrento SIS a night. The voice as yet was a thing of shreds and patches in the up- per register and had 8 serious rent In the middle. for Caruso like DeReszke, had thought himself ! ritone. But one day the fiery young Italian discov- cred that a rival Sorrento tenor got three times his price. He took his hat and walked out
 A Leghorn opera house snapped him up for s150. All Italy knew the name of Caruso soon afterward. And every . body in New York knows the story. which Is not and never was true by the way, of how Heinrich conried asked a Broadway bootb,ack who was the ST at- est tenor in the world. and the grimy Italian answered, 'Caruso, Si, Signor, he singa da toppa note"
 It was Maurice Grau who gave Caruso his first American contract at s1,000 a performance. but who retired leaving the tenor to surpass even "ParsifaI' among the operatic assets of his suc- cessor, Mir. conried.

 Born at Naples about 3S years ago married and living In Florence; no sne- cial musical education; sings Lohen- grin. Such Is the account of Caruso in one of our bright lexicons of fame.
