A shop in G street between Eleventh
and Twelfth, which carries an exclu-
sive line of womens garments, IS
showing some very smart evening
wraps that have a distinctive style of
their own. White broadcloth is the
favorite material for them. although
the other evening shades may be had.
A popular style is the coat with XII
mono sleeves and a sailor collar and
deep cuffs of black satin, trimmed
with bands of Bulgarian embroidery,
In which touches of Oriental colors are
combined with gold. A novelty is the
gown like the ones worn by the We'll

trimmed with the bands OF Oriental
embroidery. having a sailor collar, and
with long ties Of black satin In front.
Black silk tassels finish the sleeves
and the ends OF the tie. Still another
style is the cape OF cloth with round

Yale Educator Predicted the Two
minute Trotter.
New Haven, Nov. Prof William
Henry Brewer. professor emeritus OF the
Sheffield Scientific School, died to-day At
his home. His funeral viii be held at
2:s0 o'clock Friday afternoon.
Under the name OF Pop" Brewer he
was known and beloved of Yale students
for generations. He was graduated from
Sheffield in 1852. and practically his whole
life was spent at Yale OF late years he
had not done much classroom work at
Yale. but Yale men who attended his
his lectures at the university never for
got them. Very often the subject of the
lecture was forgotten, but the audience
learned much more than was scheduled
in the course.
Prof Brewer possessed a fund OF mis-
cellaneous information which ranged
from sheep breeding TO earthquakes and
included polar exploration and hypnotism.
II was his prediction Of the two-minute
trotter which brought Prof. Brewer
into the public eye some years ago. Be
fore any horse had trotted tWO-minute
time. or. IN fact. within five seconds OF
Il, he announced that the performance
would be made. He was ridicuIed and
laughed at by horsemen and breeders,
but, IN reply, showed them charts or the
gradual increase in speed. Less than A
year after he made tho assertion the mile
was trotted IN two minutes fat. That
made the professor good with the horse
men.
Prof. Brewer was born in Pough-
keepsie. y. Y. he married on August
IS 1858. Angelina Jameson. who died
June 3, 1860. His second marriage, 10
Miss Georgian Robinson, occurred Sep
