EVENING CLOTHES FOR
MEN ARE IN BLUE
Fashion-Ridden Males BIdden to Ap-
pear in coI--ed Dress Suits.
Everyday Garments Of
Wondrous Hues

NEW YORK,AA 26.--The annual gar
iment and style exhibit is on view at the
Croonborg Sartorial academy, Broadway.
OF all the evening suits on exhibition
there from the scissors of some Of the
most celebrated tailors in the country two
thirds are made of blue worsted The
material Is very dark and in certain
lights cannot be distinguished from black.
The new suits are otherwise not much
different than the evening clothes Of last
year. The tails are chopped off bit
squarer, but that Is all.
There is an overcoat which the eX-
hibitors prophesy will be very popular"
in the fall Any one 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 adver-
tising The material is slightly darker
than white flannel, and has foot and a
half plaid of three-inch chrome brown
stripes.
Then there is another overcoat. sup
posed to be English tweed, which would
put to shame the fondest effort of the
Six Little Tailors. Common bagging
would look like broadcloth in comparison
with it, The cloth contains touch of
every color of the rainbow.
If New York should adopt the styles
set forth in the exhibition. Broadway this
winter will look like carnival Of boom
ers for a comic opera costumer. The
commonly accepted meaning of riot
of color" will take on a new significance,
and the process that the town went
through several years ago when cab
horses and other equines were being
drilled, into familiarity with automobiles
will have to be repeated, and 1t is doubt
full If with anything of the same success

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-The Pa
cific Mail Steamship companys steamer
Acapulco, Captain G. G. Trask, turned
turtle today and sank at the company s
dock in this city. All of her passengers
and crew escaped, but it is believed that
her cargo, consisting of general merchan-
disc, will be almost a total loss, as the
hull of the vessel lies in about fifteen
feet of water.
The vessel was scheduled to sail for
Panama and way ports at p m., and
was taking on the last of her supply Of
coal when the disaster occurred, at about
1890 o'clock. The accident is supposed
to have been caused by the listing of the
vessel as the coal was being loaded on
one side. She went down slowly, and all
those on board had time to Chamber to
the dock. One man, who was asleep
at the time, was reused and succeeded
in saving his life.
The Acapulco is an ocean screw
steamer, 29O feet long, 40 feet wide and
20 feet deep. Her gross tonnage is 2752.
She was built in 1873 by the Harlin &
Hollingsworth company of Wilmington,
Del.

IMPERIAL, CAL, Aug. 26-Imperial
county took on official form today when
the supervisors and other officers of the
new county met here for the first time
in FL Centre, the county seat.
Some discomfort has been caused by the
fact that under the county division bill
the county is left without local laws
from the time of the fling of the pro-
clamation OF division until the new or
dinances can be entered and advertised
for fifteen days.
There has been a disposition on the
part of a small element to take advantage
of this condition. Undoubtedly one of

the passage OF a proclamation of the
necessary ordinances. There never has

valley and now 1t is the almost universal
