GAUDY RAlMENT FOR TWAIN
Tailor Gone One Better by Noted
Humorist's New Outfit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Mark Twain
has had made for him an evening suit
of white broadcloth as immaculate as
newly fallen snow. The buttons are
covered with the same material. When
he arrays himself he undoubtedly will
wear with the suit white enameled
leather shoes. The genial humOrist has
long been in rebellion against the somb-
er hammer effects borrowed from
the court of France. Mr.. Clemens has
decided that his new evening wear shall
be supplemented by long Spanish
cloak, which can be thrown over the
shoulder.
The suit was cut in strict accordance
with the prevailing mode. The coat is
lined throughout with white silk and
the lapels are faced with the same
material.
The waistcoat is of the same material
as the coat. Its only ornamentation is
a white zig-zag embroidery around the
edges. The trousers have a white silk
braid down the outside seams.
Mr.. Clemens is not fond of black
silk hat and with his new white suit
he probably will wear gray fedora.
He also has a new light gray OvercOat.

APPORTIONMENT.

OLYMPIA, Feb 21.-Every one got
busy on the last day for the intrOduc-
ton of ne willis in the house. Speaker
Falconer gave an opportunity in the af-
ternoOn to send in new measures in adj
ing. The result was that 20 new mea-
sures were presented. Among those
was one by Mcdonald authorizing the
board of control to use brick manu-
featured at the penitentiary in the con-
struction of new buildings at that in
stitution. A similar bill was introduced
in the senate by Senator Pauly.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Bryan today announced his

The house would not stand for an
increase in the salaries of the superior
court judges and in passing the judi
ciary committe bill retained the pay
at $4,000 per annum. The salaries of
the supreme court judges were raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 year. 1t is speci-
fled that the bill does not go into eff
feet until the second Monday in Janu-
airy. 1909.
The house today passed the follow
ing senate bills: An act apprOpriating
$4,000 for the state capital fund for
the erection of a governors residence;
an act amending present estray law,
making it applicable to only horses,
mules and cattle; an act giving the

toughest job of the spring to handle.
He has ransacked every league in the
country for talent, and while sorting
these out he will be forced to supervise
the antics of Mr.. G. E. Waddell. This
in itself is no puny task for any man
to handle.
Has Many on String.
Boston is another club that will i'm
port a large wad of young talent south.
This club needs fresh blood more than
any other in the business, so the minor
league string is long one.
Chick Stahl has a mighty big task
on his hands and if he can lift the for
mer worlds champions out of the rut
he will be going briskly. Hughey Jen-
nings has his Tiger infield and outfield
about planned. ROssman, Schaeffer,
OLeary and Coughlin will be the in
field quartet with Ty Cobb, Crawford,
Mcintyre and Jones out in the grass.
His chief duty will be to overlook
eleven young pitchers just from the
brush. If about three of these make
good there would be a general waking
up among Donovan, Mullin and Killian,
the trio who ambled along so carelessly
last season. If any man can pump
work out of this cluster, Hughey is
that gent and if he can only make them
put on steam this club will be strong
enough to furnish several job lots of
worry down the line.

shade around Washington. No one

tap Charlie Smith and Joe Stanley,

Dixies slabmen while working under
Alb Powell, but his work went for
naught with a crippled club.
st. Louis is liable to jump in and
set the woods on fire with the young
squad of last year developed in the
fire of a hard campaign. If Fred Glade
doesn't skip from the fold McAleer's
people are pretty sure to hold their
own in the first division.
