DRESS AT ENGLISH COURT.
Most of Mistakes Due to There Being
Two Distinct Styles.

Some interesting stories of mistakes
made in the matter of dress for func-
tIons Of the English court, where pune
t~fiiousness in this respect Is OF course
essential, are related in connectloii
with a new edition of a book, dress
Worn at Court by Herbert Trendall.
Mr.. Trendall is chief clerk of the ora
chamberlain's department. whose reg
ulations for the dress of those who ut
tend courts or levees are so strict that
an expert court tailor is posted as the
agent of the department at the en-
trance Of the rooms in which the ftihc-
tions are held. Ii is his duty to scru-
tinize the clothes of each mar attend
irg the court and to draw attention TO
any irregularity.
This expert declares that ''the most
frequent mistakes arise from he tact
that there are two styles of court dress
at present permitted to the ordinary
civiIian-an old and a new. Both are
of black velvet. but the older dress Is
more deliberately ornamental with
steel buttons and there are lace frIiS
and ruffles at the neck and wrists. The
mistakes arise In the form Of attempts
to introduce some of these ornaments
Of the old court dress into the simpler
form Of the new.
Sometimes people in uniform come
to court wearing the ouser prescrib-
ed for a levee instead OF the breeches
necessary for court dress. If there Is
time the lord chamberlain's officials
occasionally insist on their going home
to rectify such mistakes. but as there
Is 10 need ar courts for many Of the
men to enter presence at all, they are
often allowed to pass with the warn
ing to keep in the background rs much
as possible.
"Once | had to point out to n well
known general as he was going IN that
his sword. was fastened on the wrong
side. 1t Is fairly common for civilians
to make the mistake Of putting the
sword on the right hand side.
The court dress of n private gentle
man costs from 80 t. TO. according
TO the elaboration of the steel work in
the buttons and sword hilt."

W. a big league manager had his
pick today between a squad OF
veteran pitchers and a squad OF
youngsters which would he Sc
lect? Would he take Marquarc, Alex
ander, Gregg. johnson, Ford and Joe
Wood In preference to Mathewson.
Bender. Plank, Rucker. Coombs ana
Walsh?
Either crowd. with good support,
would be capable of winning a pen
nant If they were all in condition at
the same time. but some managers are
inclined to the belief that six star
pitchers cannot be worked In turn and
kept in good condition.
Baseball men, as a rule. accept with
out argument the proposition that Ma
thewson is the greatest pitcher in the
world. and they base it upon the fact
that he has beer great for a decade. IL
seems that the old followers OF the
game. while always willing to admit a
young pitchers capabilities whenever
he displays them, do not place n ma
in the category OF the truly great until
he has established himself by more
than one or W years service.
Marquard. Alexander and Gregg are
counted wonderful young pitchers, but
they are first year men.
Ed Walsh is certainly a great pitch
er. Year after year the big spitballer
has gone along and stood all tests. Ma
poleon I,ucker Is counted truly great.
Bender and Plank win have eyerlast-
ing place in the hall of fame. These,
too. established their class.
One OF the new generation of pitch
ers who are still regarded in the light
of youngsters. but who cannot be de-
MED recognition as among the greatest
of the time. IS Walter Johnson. the
Washington speed marvel. There are
many people who believe that Johnson
is the best pitcher in the country to-
day. but that sort OF proposition would
always provide Il long argument.

The legal attainments displayed by
Marshall made him 4 conspicuous fig
ure IA the courts OF northern Indiana.
He is reserved. calm and persistent,
He pursued his course with so little
noise that when the Democratic party
Of Indiana nominated him for gov
ernor in 1908 everybody asked. "Who is
Tom Marshall?' He led the Indiana
Democrats 10 their first decisive vic
tory in sixteen years.
The Capitalization of governmental
power has been opposed by Marshall.
He believes the Union IS Il creature of
the states rather than the states being
creatures of the Union. He believes
In state control of corporations and
that the trusts can be eliminated by
the states acting independently of the
national government.
On Oct. 2. 1895. Marshall and Miss

PUBLIC CAREER HIS AIM
When Thomas W. Wilson-so lie
signed his name In his college days
left Princeton his mind was settled
definitely upon a public career, and. be-
lieving that the law afforded him the
best path to a public career, he en-
tered the legal school Of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. Here he not only
studied hard. but became popular as a
leader among his classmates. In May,
1882, he tool up the practice Of law
In Atlanta, where he vas unknown, but
a year and a half of little or no bust
ness taught him that it vas next to i'm
possible for a young lawyer In Allan
ia at that time to support himself long
enough to get into public Office.
After becoming engaged to Miss FL
len Louise Arson of Rome, Ga, he
went north to Johns Hopkins universe
ty, where he spent two years as a
student of history and political econo-
my. In 1885 he completed and pub
lished his first book, Congressional
Governmental Study of Government
by Committee" The publication of
the book resulted in calls from several
colleges. He accepted that from Bryn
Mawr. becoming associate in history
and political economy.
Woodrow Wilson was married at the
home Of Miss Axson's grandfather
June "a, 1885. From this union three
girls have been born-Margaret, Flea
nor and Jessie.
Professor Wilson took his Ph. ID. de-
gree at Johns Hopkins and later ac-
cepted a lectureship there. which took
him to Baltimore once a week. In
1855 he was elected to the chair Of his
tory and political economy al Wes-
leyan university. Middletown, Conn.
His growing reputation. added to by
the popularity of his lectures at Wes-
leyan and Johns Hopkins II the pub
LEGATION of another book. "The State"
led to his being made professor Of juris-
prudence and politics at Princeton.
1t was considered a most natural
thing that Woodrow Wilson. Prince
toms popular teacher and brilliant
scholar, should be elected to the pres
idency of the university in 1902. When
he entered upon his duties he was
widely known as an author and a pub
lie speaker.
When nominated as governor by the
Democratic party Of New Jersey Sept.

and Kern was elected by the Demo-
cratic legislature.
Governor Marshall also put himself
in the public eye by his action in hon
oring the requisition of California for
John ]. Mcnamara. This brought on
him for a time the criticism of those
who assumed that Mcnamara was in
nocen of the Los Angeles dynamiting.
The plea of guilty which ended the
Los Angeles trial moved Governor
Marshall's severest critics to revise
their judgment and to concede that he
had performed his duty In spite of
great pressure to evade 1t for political
considerations.
Another executive act which demon
strated. say his champions, that Gov
ernor Marshall was superior to the
considerations Of political expediency
was his veto of the statute legalizing
Sunday baseball. A large part of the
so called liberal vote had been cast
for him as a protest against the blue
law proclivities of his predecessor.
Governor Marshall was born in
North Manchester. Ind, March IA,
1854. He is Of the famous Virginia
family of Marshalls. being a grand
nephew of the chief justice of the
United States, John Marshall. His
father was DR.. Daniel NJ. Marshall.
His mother, who before her marriage
was Martha Il. Patterson. was Il di-
rect descendant of Charles Carroll of
Carrollton.
In 1878 Marshall was graduated from
Wabash college. at Charlottesville, re
ceiving the degree of bachelor of arts.
While in college he became a member
of the Phi Beta Kappa Greek letter
fraternity. After his graduation Mar
shall moved to Fort Wayne and studied
law in the Office of Judge Walter Odds.
He later moved to Columbia City, Ind.
and on the day he was twenty-one years
old. March IA. 1879. Marshall was adj.
mitted TO the bar.
