who was standing near the bedside, for
a drink of water Naturally the men
and women in the room were startled
when the supposedly dead man came
back to life. The son brought glass OF

better. Although very low, he was still
alive at a late hour last night and the
physicians attending him say he may
live for several days.

working for the Franklin Hudson COM

ease for about three weeks and about

for the funeral. About 20 relatives and
friends had assembled, and the pro-
gram for the night was being discussed
at length. when Mr.. Skinner sat up and

BOYS VOTING FOR PRESIDENT
Lively Scenes Around the Y. M. c.
A. Polling Precinct.

Perhaps after all it is Well that no one
can vote under twenty-one. There are
several hundred very enthusiastic young
sters from twelve years old up hanging
around the polls and voting at least once
in the voting booth in the Y. Nj. C. A.
building today.
Last night the three parties, republican.
democratic and independence, bet one
another on the platform in the Y. NJ. c.
A. building and proceeded to tell the au-
dience of red-hot politically enthusiastic
youngsters just how rotten the other peo-
pie were and why the Y. NJ. c. A. boy
vote should be cast for the only candi-
date worth mentioning. Each party put
1t all over the other two, and the boys
were simply raving with pent-up steam.
1t all lay between Taft and Bryan No
one had ever heard Of Hisgen and the in
dependence party-except a few older
boys who buy q New York paper now and
then-so just to make things interesting
small independence bunch was formed
and today cast their vote for Hisgen and
a man named John Temple Graves, who
is running for Fairbanks place.
The boy orators last night did their
work well, and today the fate of the ma
ton hangs balanced in the ballot box
made of an old shoe box and bursting
with the ballots of the Y. M. c. A. grand
army of young America.
The votes will be counted tonight after
the polls close at s o'clock

LAWYER BERRY HoNoRED.
Named by Khedive to Be Judge of
International Court at Cairo.

International Court at Cairo.
Through the Department of State the
Khedive Of Egypt has appointed Walter
Van Rensselaer, Berry, a well known law
yer of this city. to be judge of the inter-
national court of first instance at Cairo.
This appointment was made to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the promotion of
Summerville P. Tuck to the court of ap-
peals.
The appointment was rendered to Mr..
Berry about a month ago. and it was only
recently that he decided to accept the i'm
portant post. The position is for life, if
Mr.. Berry desires. but at this time he has
not decided definitely how long he will
remain away from this country.
Mr.. Berry Is considered by those who
know as being eminently fitted for this
position. His firm in this city has repre-
scented all the embassies of the different
foreign powers at different times in this
country, with the exception of England.
He has made study of international
law: and, while an unassuming man, is
considered by his colleagues as one of
the best attorneys in this city. He speaks
Frence and Italian fluently-in fact.
French was really his first language. He
is of an old District family, but was born
In France.
The affairs of the law firm of Berry &
Minor, of which he is the senior member.
will not be interrupted by his departure.
although his active identification with it
will cease. He is a member of the Metro
politan and other clubs of this city and
New York.
He leaves to accept the new appoint
ment Thursday next. Congratulations
that have been bestowed upon him will be
coupled with general regret over his leav-
ing Washington.

MEMS DREss-UP CLOTHES
The Most Ceremonial Were Once
Worn for Everyday.

From the London Queen.
Men change the style of their dress
slowly, their tendency being to develop
the useful and convenient. Whether 1t
be the robes of the church or law or CIV
ic dignitaries is very largely the survival
of what was once the everyday fashions
for men.
The tendency is not entirely to do
away with mode of dress that has be-
come inconvenient for ordinary occa-
sions, but to give 1t sort of superlative
or best-clothes place.
The usual dress for a foot ball match
formerly was frock coat and high hat,
and high hats are always seen in engrav-
ings of ancient cricket matches The
competitors also in the Oxford and Cam
bridge boat race used to row in high hats!
In early Victorian days every one who
was any one wore q frock coat on quite
ordinary occasions, and West End cheese
mongers wore high hats behind the coun-
ter.
Utility has now said that the frock coat
is too cumbersome for knockabout wear.
For all that, the frock coats star is in
the ascendant. The twentieth century
Bachelors Book says that correct dress
for weddings, receptions, afternoon calls
and matinees Is frock coat and high hat:
the same applies to Sundays" Evidently
the frock coat is being promoted TO
strictly best wear, but, although no gen.
tleman can dispense with 1t, 1t is worn
far less than 1t used to be-
And although the frock coat is SO
sacred a garment. yet for certain wear it
is not good enough. There are occasions
when the swallowtail coat is more es-
teemed still.
The swallowtail coat has not only an
older origin than the frock coat. but a
more unitarian one. for II Is a survival
of the everyday coat worn by men in the
time of the Georges. and II is certainly
less in the way than 'frock'' for general
use.
Thus 1T comes to pass that in one day
man often wears the fashions OF three
periods, and the more of state there Is in
the occasion the further he looks back to
find the appropriate dress He goes to his
Office in the morning wearing morn
ing or perhaps a lounge coat: he makes
a call on q lady in the afternoon prop
erly attired in his nineteenth century
frock coat. When he goes out to dinner
he dons his eighteenth century evening
clothes, and If he were attending levee
his knee breeches and silk stockings
would be very reminiscent Of the every
day dress of gentlemen of the Stuart
period
The wig, which Is now associated en-
tirely with legal state dress. was In Stuart
times the ordinary wear OF gentlemen.
Gradually changes came. and the wig
became less and less worn. until 1t was
reserved entirely for judges. barristers
and other legal dignitaries.
Mayoral robes have their origin in the
ordinary styles worn in Tudor days.
Ecclesiastical robes have certainly more
ancient history than any other ceremonial
DRESS yet even these may be traced back
to the usual dress worn in the very early
centuries.
