mans figure than the frock. The lat
ter are smart on corpulent men; but
when one is possessed of a good figure,
he much prefers wearing the morning
or cutaway coat
For semi-formal wear, the double
breasted frock has not yet been dis
placed, nor is it likely to be for many
seasons. In fact, it is coming into its
own again to a greater degree this
winter than for several seasons past.
Men of middle age and past will wear
it more than ever. During the Coro-
nation period this coat and the black
silk hat were more in evidence in
London than for several years before ;
the most prominent tailors of the
West End, in the English metropolis,
predict that they will be fully as pop
ular, If not more so, from now until
next spring.
For the coming season the morn
ing or cutaway coat will be made to
roll, with three buttons, set in closely
together. The roll is quite soft to the
first button. Only the second button
of this coat is designed to button

be buttoncd. There is positively no
excuse for a chain hole
Trousers will be little more ON
the order Of the pegged top for the
coming season. They should taper
nicely to the bottom, and care should
be taken to see that the back Of the
trousers come within an inch Of the
ground They should not bag nor bulge
over the front of the boot, which
means that there should be a good
slope in the cut. Raised side seams
of the wide type are fashionable.
There is a decided revival Of the
demand for striped effects in the
darker shades for the coming season,
as these designs are more adapted for
autumn and winter. These new effects
are heavier looking than the old style,
and, in many instances, there is a
very distant double stripe which gives
the cloth a most pronounced appear
ance. The popular shades will be
brown, green and gray.
The indications are that heavier

overcoats for the approaching cool
weather. Manufacturers are opposed
to this return to beaver, but popular
demand makes it imperative that they
once more place it on the market
The new style Of overcoat OF the
robust order lends itself to beaver
cloth. This coat, It is proposed, VIII
be Of dark blue, viii be long and will
have wide pockets and flaps. The col
lar and lapels will be bold. A broad
band Of cloth, not a stripe, without
buttons and put on fiat, will be a fea-
ture. This band will not reduce the
size of the waist, which is well defined
without being gathered, but it gives an
easy and comfortable appearance to
the coat, which will be made with
cloth collar instead Of velvet. This
coat win be entirely correct for any
wear, day or evening. The overcoat
for the conservative man will be Of
very dark Oxford blue, Oxford gray,
or Of brown. The blue shades will be
used largely for Chesterfield and box
overeoats, while the gray and brown
will be used more for paddock.

The buttons are not silk covered, but
are of bone, black of course. Some
of these coats will be shown, espe-
cially among the custom trade, with
a double-breasted lapel with soft roll /;
but this style will be the exception
and not the rule
The sleeves are finished with four
buttons close together, and a real cuff /;
they are cut very narrow, 10 or 1215
inches at the outside, and short
enough in length to show at least "a
inch of the starched shirt cuff. The
buttons on the sleeve must button

This coat is very waisty. or form
fitting, and is usually worn buttoned.
The tendency to button the waist
coat high has been somewhat modified
for the fall season. 1t must not be
cut too high nor too low, but at a
happy medium, and must be in a direct
line with the roll of the coat. The
waistcoat opening is a moderate V In
shape. Five buttons are correct for
a coat cut not too long, and the last
button of the waistcoat should never

that the former excuses no longer ex-
ist, and the custom is now a thing Of
the past. Today, a man with. social
pretensions, even Of the humblest,
feels entirely out of place unless clad
in a cutsway or frock in the social
centers of the country, and this is
especially true when he is in the COM
pany OF ladies. In other words the
American now heeds the edicts of
fashion, and appears properly ac-
coutered for business and social en-
gagements
For town clothes, certainly the most
popular Of all is the morning or cut
away coat. The correct morning suit
for the coming season will be a black
or dark gray coat, with waistcoat of
the same material, and gray trousers
with a narrow stripe. If the coat is
Of gray, the trousers should match. A
! narrow strip of black braid, set in Il
| of an inch from the edge of both coat
and waistcoat, forms an attractive and
pleasing novelty. The braid is also
set on the pocket flaps. the same dis
/ tance from the edge. The coat has q
welted breast pocket.
One of the things which makes the
morning coat SO popular is the fact
that it is better suited to the average

largely FOR business wear. It Will be
OF medium length-about 80 inches
moderately form-fitting, a vent in the
centre seam, with regulation pockets,
with flaps to go in or out. This coat
has three buttons, and IL cut at a slight
angle from the bottom button to the
bottom Of the garment, with slightly
rounded corners. The sleeves will have
either real or simulated cuffs with
three buttons. The vest, OF the same
material as the coat, viii carry five
buttons. and will appear nearly an
inch above the coat opening. The
morning coat, or cutaway, as it is better
known, is popular with a certain ele-
ment, especially among professional
men who do not care to wear the dou-
ble-breasted frock-the prince Albert
during business hours. This coat
will also be largely in evidence for
afternoon wear.
The former habit Of appearing in
the afternoon, at any sort of function,
no matter how informal in a sack or
Lounge suit, has practically disap-
|peared. It was due partly to careless
ness and partly to want of knowl-
edge as to the demands of propriety.
But the American public is now SO
widely informed as to these things,

ZEE advent OF autumn brings
with 1t a surprising variety
OF fine fabrics from which
the well-dressed man may
Al select the ''makings'' of his
suit and overcoat. Rich, elegant wor-
Steds, handsome cheviots, refined sax
Dnies, in most attractive weaves and
4 riot of color combinations. But the
latter are far from gaudy; a general
tone of quiet and refinement is every
where noticeable. AS usual, stripes
and diagonals form the principal pat
terms, but they do not stand out Wv
Idly, nor are they broadly contrasting.
There are to be seen many ingenious
combinations that give the impression
Of small, neat effects, while diagonals
and shadow stripes vie with each other
for first place. Grays, as usual, are
In the lead in all color designs, the
lighter shades predominatdng. while
many very pleasing patterns are COM
posed of various combinations Of light
and dark shades. The choice of men
who are never without a dark blue
suit has been consulted too; very dark
shades OF this standard color are to
be had in any OF the fabrics men
toned. Browns will be very popular,
in several different shades, and with
iust q hint of some other color, caused
by the introduction of a single thread
of red, green, blue or purple silk.
These make up into decidedly nobby
suits, and will no doubt be accepted
By men who never before wore any
thing but black. blue or gray.
The influence of the English style
of dress is strongly evident in the
styles prepared for the coming season /;
without In the least suTrendering his
independence, the American gentleman
appreciates the propriety Of dress as
adopted by his brother across the pond,
for the EngIishman insists upon being
properly and comfortably attired for
all occasions, both as to cut Of gar
ments and quality of cloth used in
their making.
OF course, the designers have modi-
fed the English styles In a manner to
suit the marked personality Of the
American. Another reason for this
modification is found in the fact that
here IN America we have no such leis-
ure class as in England, despite dema-
gogic ranting about the idle rich. "
The American business men lack the
opportunity, or the desire. TO change

The birthday OF Thomas Jefferson,

Democratic Societies have been celebra,

lauaation of men and his birthday would

Gated.
While most speakers laud him as the
founder OF a political party, yet lie was
such a great writer on almost ever phase
of life that we will give his ideas on one
very seldom mentioned. That Is

is to be progressively ameliorated, as we
fondly hope and believe, education is 10
be the chief instrument i'll effectlng It,.
Jefferson's plan of education proposed
TO Law off every county into small dis
tricts of five or six miles square, called
hundreds. and in each to establish a
school for teaching reading, writing and
and arithmetic. The tutor is to be sup
ported by the hundred and every person
in it entitled to send their children three
wears gratis. These schools to be under

the best genius in the school, of those
parents who are too poor to give them
further education and to send him Tor
ward to one of the grammar schools, OF
which twenty are proposed to be erected
in different parts of the the country, for
teaching Greek, Latin, geography and the
higher branches of mathematics. Those
of superiority are to be sent to the State
| College to study such sciences as they
choose. My bill proposes,

mass of talents which lies buried in pow
ertv in every country for want OF means
of development and thus give activity to
a mass OF mind, which, in proportion to
our population, shall be the double or
treble OF what it is in most countries.
When we consider that our oldest in
habitants can remember when our dis
trict schools were not entirely free and
when we consider the development OF our
grammar schools, high schools, normal
schools and colleges in the past few years
we can see that it was all outlined by
Thomas Jefferson in 1882.
Mr.. Jefferson believed all educated
people necessary for the maintenance OF
a free democratic government. Few more
than half the children who enter school
get beyond the 9Th grade, or education
for normal 12-year old children. Less
than one-fourth get beyond the grammar
school, 8th grade. If for no other reason
free higher education is need to supply
the 1900 new school teachers needed each
year to fill the positions of those who
quit teaching.

Butter Price At High Mark.

1913 cents a pound and for 1909 70 SO

price since that time was in 1896, when
it averaged I7.S cents a pound.

City's Fraudulent Vote.

The estimate is made that more than
two thousand fraudulent votes were
polled in Atlantic City In the last cleo

tee the estimate is a conservative one.
Atlantic City, by reason of the charac

to election frauds than any other city
in the state. q mparatively few have

there Is yet much to learn. Some good
roads enthusiasts have proposed the
building of great national highways
connecting all the capitals of the
states, or a great trans-continental
roadway from Boston to San Francis
co, or from Chicago to the gulf. Such
roads would be tremendously expen-
sive, and about the only thing that
they could be used for would be as
~speedways for automobiles. These are
not the roads that the public needs.
In the building of highways there
are two great questions involved. One
is the economic advantages to be
gained from the transportation view
point, and this means good roads from
the farm home to the market town,
over which the food supply Of the
world must be moved. The other
question is one of the social and edu-
cational advantages that follow good
road construction.
Fortunately it is true that the same
highways that would give the largest
returns from an economic standpoint,
are Tile IOduS pSoL SulICu " give Tx
highest advancement. Hence the need
is not these great, broad, expensive
highways, extending hundreds of miles
in any given direction, but a network
of good roads, nine to twelve feet
wide, covering the main highways of
the country and centering in the mar
ket towns upon the railways. The
wagon roads are the veins of com
merce; the railways the arteries. The
largest public good will come from
such a condition that there will be a
free and uninterrupted movement
upon both the highways and railways
throughout the year.
Among the economic advantages is
that it enables the farmer to keep in
close touch with the market and
make his deliveries when in his judg-
ment the best price can be realized.
There is no doubt that a large per-
centage-the major portion-of the
