 Woiuers Asked on Messetf

Hart batted .a7i in 2s games with the White sox, working 25 games behind the bat when the veteran catcher sul. iivsn was hurt and having a fielding average in the 2s games of .s56. This season comisky had five eatehers on his staff--Armbruster, bought from Bos- ton, Shaw drafted from Toronto of the Eastern league, Weaver drafted from Wichita Hub Hart and Sullivan.
 Showing how much Hart was thought Of up there the sporting writers of Chicago figured that Hart would be one of the men to stick. That Jimmy Ryan got hold of him Is a ten strike for the Climbers and makes the catch ing stan unquestionably the strongest in the Southern League. Hart left Chicago yesterday morning and should be in Montgomery tomorrow morning, probably catching one of the double header games with New Orleans to- morrow afternoon.

No man with any respect for himself can wear
dirty cuff, and by keeping his cuffs religiously
clean or by changing them frequently he is re-
ducing his chances of coming into intimate con-
tact with collection of meteorological entities
The adoption of dark goods or OF those mate
rials which do not show dirt may therefore be
regarded as a retrograde step, for it is obvious
that such materials must get soiled just as much
as do those which easily show the dehleTnent
They however, are not SO frequently cleansed,
because there is offence to the eye, even after
several days wear, and thus dirt is allowed to-
accumulate. When man finds it convenient to
wear colored shirts and cuffs he means in real
ity that he can carry dirt for little longer with
out giving offence than if he a spotlessly
white material or at all events a material which
readily exhibits the smear of dirt or grease
The washing bill is, of course. reduced, and
the terrors diminished of the disintegrating
process which is involved in oft repeated visit
to the laundry Lastly, it may be mentioned
that from the point of view of hygienic demand

its color is merely adopted in order to avoid

WHITE CUFFS SANITARY.

dismissed by many people as inadmisslnle IN tne
common applications of life. but the exhlpition
of a dirty or even frayed cuff is commonly held
to he the mark of slovealiness and dirt or as an
Indication that the individual has lost all re-
gard for his cleanly appearance and condition
There can be no doubt at all that when the cuII

With few exceptions, even the most expensive
furs are actually manufactured. Making a fur
garment is more of art than most persons
realize. 1t is not a matter of taking n few
skins, cuttings the legs off and patching to-
sether the large pieces which once covered the
body The foreman and designer of a fur manu-
factory does not get Il salary of $4,000 or S9OOV
year simply for his knowledge of patching TO-
gether large skins. It is for his ability in cut
ting the skins into strips a quarter of an inch
wide and then putting them together again SO
that the skins will be greatly increased IN
length while the shading of the original SKIN
is preserved The skill required may be under
stood when it is known that in some cases
it would be cheaper to carve up $40 Dill than
to cut I'D incorrectly piece of skin OF similar
area. These ribbons are all carefully sewn to-
gether by machinery.
A few of the furriers save the skins that rep
resent high values and devise articles of wear
ing apparel in which they can be used without
emitting Muffs and stoles offer such uses.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York.

The success of new bond fiotations by many of the railroads recently had served to relieve, somewhat, the latter phase of the trou- bles of the equipment companies. It was the consideration of these facts that had driven American Locomotives down to a price out of, line with per cent. dividend stock. The price was run up over five points today when strength of American car was partly in sympathy, notwithstanding the diff ferent policy already pursued by that company in a reduction of the dividend rate.
