GREEN CLOTHING FOR MEN.
Difference Of Opinion as to Whether
It Will Be Worn.

Difference Of Opinion as to Whether
1t Will Be Worn.
Some of the shrewdest clothing peo-
pie in the business are putting great
deal of confidence in green's, in the
belief that they are coming into vogue
to degree not hitherto known In
this country.
Greens have reached great popular
ity in London, and in fact throughout
the European continent, where they
are worn very extensively by men.
While formerly efforts were made
in way to introduce greens here, no
f1attering success has as yet attended
the green innovation for men after
they have reached retail distributors.
Nevertheless, green's have been
bought quite extensively for all by
both manufacturers and retailers, and
the mute question now is, will they
take?
A clothing man who has made con-
siderable study of mems fashions for
practical use in the clothing business
contends that no color or fabric that
can be made a joke of will ever be-
come popular with men, and he holds
the butt of his friends humor.
A high class Fifth avenue tailor i'm
ported early in the spring two pieces
of green cloths. Up to July he had
sold but three suits off the two bolts.
Another firm made window displays
of green suits, and advertised them as
we'll, but who has seen on Broadway
many men attired in green suits? A
few, yes.
Greens have been and are still
popular in neckwear, hose and among
the fashionably "classy'' in shirts
for business wear, but for mems
clothes it's predicted green would be
too much of joke color.
Yet that there are clothing manu-
facturers and retail clothing men too
who consider green's good for fall sell
ing, we have had ample proof Of
through seeing their purchases, which
for fall comprise quite an assort-
ment of the new greens, some of de-
cided green shade, though designated
olive greens.
Green hats have been on the mar
ket for ten or dozen years, but the
greens introduced early this year be-
came a novelty with the best trade
and an article for window exhibits
with the general trade, but not a
popular color by any means in head
wear. Will there be many men wear
ing green clothes when only an isolat-
ed few have worn green hats?

fashion for long while. Then sudden
ly came time when it was famous.
John Cumming, who had been licensed
to preach in May, 1882, by the Aber-
deem Presbytery, was acting as tutor
in Kensington, when he was invited
to preach in the old church in Crown
court .%
In August Of the same year he re-
ceived "call" from the church. It
was then small and inconvenient, and
the minister's income was not over
5000 But his preaching soon attract
ed huge congregation, and the
church was rebuilt in 1S47 at a cost
of $4,000. 1t was opened in 1S4S with
sittings for thousand persons. The
income from pew rents reached G1,-
500 per annum, but Cumming refused
to accept more than $780, the re-

LIGHTNING STRIKES SHIPS.
Much More Often Than is Supposed
Conductors for Electric Currents.

Conductors for Electric Currents.
In spite of the popular impression
to the contrary, ships remote from
the land are seldom damaged by light
ming, althoug some of the most awe
inspiring displays Of atmospheric
electricity are frequently witnessed
by those on board of them.
Standing rigging and even parts of
the running gear are now made of
steel wire, and this substitute for the
old fashioned hemp serves the pur-
pose of lightning conductor when the
ship is not fitted with such an aid to
safety. The electric current is con-
veyed down the wire rigging and
reaches the sea through the vessels
metal hull. Damage occurs only if
the current be interrupted on it's way
to earth. In a comparatively large
proportion of instances the foreroyal
truck is struck by lightning, that of
the main less frequently and the miz-
zen least Of the three.
Very serious casualties under this
head occurred to warships and mer-
chant vessels in the days of wooden
hulls and hempen rigging. In July,
1902, as thirteen sail of the East India
company were trying to round the
cape in the. vicinity of Algoa Bay.
homeward bound, two of them, the
Britannia and the Bombay Castle.
were struck by lightning. The FORE
mast OF each was soon enveloped in
flames and the masts had to be cut
away in order to save the ships and
their combustible cargoes. A heavy
gale was blowing, the night was dark,
and the other ships of the fleet, which
were hove to at the time, were wit
nesses of this thrilling incident.
Many vessels are now fitted with
lightning conductors of approved
types, lest the wire rigging should
fail to carry off the electric current.
In May, 1896, shortly after a severe
thunderstorm, accompanied by light
ming and rain in degrees south, 81
degrees east, the P. and O. steamship
Victoria had a sudden increase of
deviation, amounting to six degrees
in both the standard and the wheel
house compasses, and later it was dis
covered that the lightning conductor

sometimes six months, while the fine
silver wire is practically indestruct-

With the entire outfit surgeon is
able to selct a thread that will last
as long as the wound takes to heal,
and will then disappear completely.
To accommodate this assortment of
threads special varieties Of needles
are required. Besides the needle
craned in different segments of a
circle, surgeons use needles shaped
like spears, javelins, and bayonet

No child ever received more care

despite this precaution, Diana got
pneumonia last Sunday and died that
night.

with people expectant to hear some
thing unusual and they were not at
all disappointed. Montevideo was rep
resented by Faus Silvernale, Carl

by Messrs Earl King and Walter

who, previous to meeting Montevideo
had defeated NVorthington and Lake

side. The change was necessary in

ACCIDENT AT EAGLE LAKE
Miss Carmlne Pickle Thrown From
Wagon; Picked Up Unconscious.


Miss Carmine Pickle, daughter Of
G. A.. Pickle, residing one-half mile
west of Eagle Lake, was injured this
morning by falling from wagon on
to the frozen ground, cutting cash
two inches long in the back of the
head The young lady was rendered
unconscious, and Immediately medical
aid from Mankato was summoned.
This afternoon she is resting easy.
The accident occurred in the front
yard of the Pickle home. Frank Ben
nett and Dan Seaquist, who live near
Tivoli, drove into the yard, and while
Mr.. Seaquist, in company with Mr..
Pickle was looking at a horse in the
pasture, Miss Pickle playfully climbed
into the wagon with Mr.. Bennett who
was holding the horses. The latter
in some manner became frightened,
cramping the wagon short, and Miss
Pickle fell out, with above result. The
team ran into barbed wire fence
and one horse was injured. A veterin-
airy surgeon was summoned.
Henry Pickle of this city, who is
with the firm of Simon & Rice and
brother of the injured lady, drove
out there this morning.
