Green FrOck Coats.

Green frock coats will be the lash
ionable morning wear in the coming
autumn season, according to a we'll
known London tailor I'm my opin-
ion the black frock coat is doomed
he told the Daily Mirror. The craze
for colored cloths which has been
growing considerably this past few
years may Gust black altogether.
Green frock coats, therefore, are
bound to come in time, as have the
green morning coats which are so
much worn at the present day.
1.-The wonder is that the frock coat
has for so many years been strictly
kept to somber black | have every
confidence, however, that, made in
green cloth-the darker shades only
-frock coats will at once jump into
amazing popularity"

The Dangers of the Mines.

Great and mystically dreadful is
the earth from a mines depth. Man
is in the implacable grasp of nature.
1t has only to tighten slightly and he
is crushed like a bug. His loudest
shrek of agony would be as impotent
at his final moan to bring help from
that fair land that lies like heaven
over his head. There is an insidious
silent enemy in the gas. If the huge
fanwheel on the top of the earth
should stop for brief period there
is certain death, and a panic more
terrible than any occurring where
the sun has shone ensues down under
the tons of rock. If a man escape the
gas, the floods, the "squeezes' of
falling rock, the cars shooting
through little tunnels, the precarious
elevators, the hundred perils, there
usually comes to him an attack of
miners asthma that slowly racks
and shakes him into the grave.-Ste-
Dhen Crane.

FINE SHOWING CLAIMED
FOR THE NEvADA-EMPIRE

SEARCHLIGHT New. Aug. az
I. r. Lands, who week ago sue
cessfully finished an auto trip from
Los Angeles to this place, being the
second man to accomplish that diff
cult feat, has also paid a flying visit
to the NevadaEmpire at Eldorado
canyon. For the past two days his
time has been divided between assist
ing in the overhauling of the ma
chine to get in order for regular pas
senger service to and from the mine
and expatiating to interested parties
on the glowing prospects of the same
property.
The mine showing is so fine, he
states, that it is hard to talk tenn
perately about it or within such
bounds as to carry belief. Just prior
to his trip out there, or about a week
ago, Superintendent DeBerry as if to
do the handsome by Mr.. Lands
visit--one befitting the financial
agent of the company in the city
opened up a pocket of $4,000 ore. AL
so, the following day, an assay was
run from what aimed to be a fair
sampling of the dump. This went
$50.
In response to an inquiry as to the
size of the main ledge it was stated
that the 100-foot shaft and S7-foot
drift are all in excellent ore. At
the lower workings, which are along
the foot wall, a crosscut was run for
40 feet without reaching the hang
ing wall and every foot of that dis
lance is reported TO be in profitable
ore.
c. E. l.. Gresh is in Los Angeles
holding down the city Office in Mr..
Lands absence and also digging in
to MIN propositions. The manage
ment is unit as to the setting up
of a stamp mill in the immediate flu
ture, the only question being as to
the size and some other details. It
is now expected to be of 10 stamps.
The ore is free milling, practically ali
gold values. and the amount already
in sight would keep busy such Il mill
for at least year.

"NOISY" OVERCOATS WILL BE
CORRECT THING THIS FALL

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The latest
wrinkle in glad raiment is to be blue
evening clothes. The man who in the
coming fall and winter expects to ap-
proach anywhere near the real
thing" will have to array himself
nightly in a dark blue clawhammer
AT the annual garment and style
exhibit which opened last week, two
thirds of the evening suits on ex-
hibition are made of blue worsted
The material is dark and in certain
lights cannot be distinguished from
black.
Other interesting things can be
seen at the exhibition besides the
blue evening clothes. The forms on
which hang the clothes that New
York ought to wear and probably
won't, look much like the wardrobe
of vaudeville slapstick artist or
Dutch comedian. The colors range
from cream brown to Nile green.
For instance, there is an overcoat
which the exhibitors prophesy will
be popular in the fall. Anyone who
appeared on Broadway a year ago
wearing that coat would have been
followed for blocks by a mob anxious
to see what he was advertising. The
material is slightly darker than white
flannel, and has foot and a half of
three-inch chrome brown stripes.
Then there is another overcoat, sup
posed to be English tweed. The cloth
contains a touch of every color of the
rainbow.
If New York should adopt the
styles set forth, Broadway this win
ter will look like carnival of BOOM
ers for comic-opera costumier.
There is one consolation, however,
in the exhibit. Those who We're wor-
ried last year over the dictum from
the tailors' convention that men re-
ally must wear corsets need not wor-
ry longer. The sack coat of many
colors will be cut full and there will
be absolutely no need for any arti-
fetal repression.
There are other styles coming
back. The man who has kept pad
dock overcoat in mothball tomb
for two years can get it out again
this winter. The slit back coat will
be quite the thing. Of course, there
will be the straight back coat, but
he who prefers this style must have
it made with Caruso pockets. This
is not a gratuitous slap at the great
tenor. The long perpendicular slit
pockets which Ego all the way
through" are now designated by ''the
trade" in this manner.
Incidentally, if you want long
full back coat with belt, you must
have the side seams creased like ra-
zors and the material of which it is
made must vie in splendor with the
multicolored coat of Joseph.
Sack coats will be cut much short
err this winter, and (perish the
thought.) it is limited that before
long the dear old coats of your col
lege days, which ended just below
your belt, will be back again. And
Raglan shoulders-that is, the Shout
ders that were not shoulders at all
are also to return. Pads must be
thrown away, for coats this year will
be cut just as wide as the wearer and
no wider.

WILL BE DISCUSSED IN
THE NEXT CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The in
dications are that the Philippine
question will be discussed exhaust
lively in the next congress. A good
authority on the subject says the cost
to this country of the islands already
has been over $300,000,000.
However, while there is some SEN
timent in favor of getting rid of the
islands, the administration seems
thoroughly committed to the policy
of developing them and bringing the
Filipinos to a point where they can
govern themselves.

Swimming is Very HealthfuI.

noon about six miles from General

effect, but retreated under instruc-
