Hitchcock Is Sartorial Masterpiece

Mr.. Hitchcock is plainly the original
man for whom the tall, shimmery silk.
en- tile was invented. 1t has long been
contended by scientifically inclined
persons that there must have been an
original excuse for inventing that
awful production of headgear There
must have been man on whom it
looked good, comfortable and home
like. That man has been discovered.
He is now postmaster general.
The F street tailors are said to
study Mr.. Hitchcock with great care,
in order to know just what is correct
recherche, they call it. The man
who makes the Hitchcock clothes
would be assured a fortune If he were
allowed to advertise the fact. There
are sacks, frocks, cutaways, long and
short; tweeds, plaids, broadcloths,
worsteds; but all are in up-to-the-
minute fashions, with just touch of
the distinguished, sometimes even of
the daring, to force attention which
must always be tinctured with ad-
miration. Shoes always are selected
to match the rest of the outfit.
George Won L. Meyer, secretary of
the navy, has his clothes made in Eng.
land, while it is avouched that Mr.,
Hitchcock's are all of domestic produc-
ton. The secretary of the navy is a
splendidly tailored person; but in the
competition between him and the post
Office department the American tailors
win in a walk.

Senator Smith, modestly, rising.
Neither the court nor anybody else

The court grumbled and finally
started the trial. Smith took charge,
calling up his witnesses, of whom he
had number.
Lawyer w. A. Smith, when the case
was all in, made a little speech, and
the court acquitted the man. Smith
and the client left, and just then a
newspaper man who had wandered in,
conveyed to the court the information
that the lawyer was Senator Smith.
The court recovered in time to take
the next case, but there was some
slight excitement over the discov.
cry.
Senator Smith, meanwhile, is In.
teresting himself in the methods OF

IT has just become known that the
! purcl aser Of Shadow Lawn, the
beautiful Mccall estate at Westwood,
N. j., - Joseph B. Greenhut of New
York CITY and Peoria, III.
In tie ownership of Shadow Lawn,
Mr.. G>eenhut has come into posses
sion OF what is by many regarded as
the mist beautiful home in New Jer-
sey.
The house was built hardly five
years ago, when John A. Mccall wss
president of the New York Life Insnr-
ance company. 1t had been hin
dream ever since he was a poor book
keeper. and cost him close to $1,000.

After Mr.. Mccall had lived in Shad-

THE TOo.CLEVER WOMAN.

Man unjustly accuses woman OF en-
joying monopoly of vanity, when, az
q matter of fact, no woman is any
more vain than most men, and in some
respects mere man is so much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous. A good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner of its assump'
tion on state occasions, but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. He
likes clever woman, but the very in
stant he suspects she is cleverer than
he, he takes fright. His vanity Is
hurt. Inasmuch as awe and love are
not given to rambling leafy lanes hand
in hand, and man in his superiority
likes to believe woman dependent upon
him mentally as we'll as for creature
needs, the woman who is really clever
will never allow her cleverness to OBJ
trude itself too strongly upon men.
Wit is a good servant, but bad mas
ter. The girl who acquires reputa'
tion for putting on airs, or being
smart" is never popular among men
The too-clever' woman is handicapped
by her cleverness: = It sometimes pays
to pamper foolish, egotistic man, and
use wit with discretion.

This country that laid the rails for
the great railroads of Russia, that has
bestowed upon the czar's realm many
of the implements of it's industrial
promotion is being looked to by the
dOuma for other assistance of the
same nature. A bill has passed the
parliament providing for the establish
ment at Washington Of Russian ag-
ricultural agency for the purpose of in
Producing American methods and ma
chinery. This is but another evidence
that America leads the world, and the
nations are sitting at her feet seeking
instruction in the modern art of get
ging to the goal without going in cir
Gle. The American methods and ma
chinery in agriculture account for
much of the prosperity Of the Ameri-
can people. Russia is doing good work
in seeking to introduce them for the
benefit of the vast rural population Of
the empire.

Twelve Articles That Pay Most Tariff

reau of statistics show that the share
which customs duties have borne in
producing the revenues of the country
has varied with varying conditions,
principally depending on changes from
time to time in internal revenue laws.
1T must not be supposed, however" }"
says the report, that because a doz-
en- articles or groups of articles pay
three-fourths of the tariff duties COL
lected the making of a tariff and
the determination of rates of duty and
the amount of revenue likely to re-
suit therefrom is by any means SIM
pie matter.
Under the title of cotton cloth, for
instance, the rates of duty on cloths
not exceeding SO threads to the square
inch, counting warp and filling, are
one cent per yard if the material is
not bleached, dyed or colored, but IN
cents per yard if bleached, and two
cents per yard if dyed, colored or
printed. If the number of threads per
square inch exceeds SO and does not
exceed 100 the rates are still higher
IA cents per square yard on that
which is not bleached, dyed or colored,
and does not exceed six square yards
to the pound, but Y cents per square
yard on that exceeding six square
yards 70 the pound"

New Owner of Beautiful Mccall Estate

White had difficulty in meeting the
interest year ago, and Shadow Lawn
was sold by the mortgagee at sher-
ifs sale to syndicate of New Jersey
residents who bought the property for
$1OS,000 above the 100000 mortgage
held by the Metropolitan Life
They felt it would make an ideal
country club. Elaborate plans were
made to turn the residence into a club
house and to divide up the So acres
into a golf course, tennis and squash
courts, and a swimming pool, but the
clubhouse syndicate had difficulties in
completing the subscriptions to the
projected club, and recently decided
to give up the plan.
The estate is on a stretch of ele-
waited ground within sight of the sea,
and only a mile or two from Long
Branch. The land seven years ago
was cornfield. But the wizardry of

wealth turned its wilderness of stu1nps
and hummocks into a fairyland of ter
races, walks, drive:s, lily ponds, Load
sweeps of grassy Mwn, and fine, old
fashioned gardens. In the centsr of
