THE COST OF
 MEMS CLOTHING

The newspapers printed a dispatch few days ago predicting somewhat higher prices for mems clothing this fall. Conditions growing out of the war, and heSadvancing cost of labor are named a4cAuses.
 The man who buys a suit of clothes of first class tailor is assessed heav- fly nowadays. There are great many men who used to get this grade of garments for about $30 to s35, who to- day are paying $45 and $50.
 This advancing cost must tend to help the ready made clothing trade. It so proves in the field of feminine apparel. A great many women who formerly used to patronize dressmak- CTS now buy clothes direct from the shop. Of course as the wealth of the country advances, a great many more men can afford to pay high prices.
 The ready. made clothing store has to carry in stock an assortment suffi- cient to fit tall men, short men, fat men, and thin men. It must take a good deal of capital. The rapid changes in styles constantly threaten losses. The tendency of the time must be to favor the larger store that Is en- terprising enough to advertise, and to crowd out the small shop that feels it can't afford it.
 People tend to become more partI- ular about the Sit Of their clothes. The man who used to be satisfied with old baggy garments that would cover his nakedness, now expects the ready made man to produce or alter some- thing that will fit his physical idiosyn- crasies. To meet all these demands is quite a problem. The ready made man needs an eye for form and no lit tie mechanical skill to make these correctly.

REVOLUTION OF SMITH.
 Continued.

It Is impossible to give an idea of the number that crowded to see the prisoner. when he first appeared, and the throng of thousands and tens of thousands who ocked to the place of execution. Toswhat principle in our nature Is it to be referred? Does man delight in scenes of woe? Is there pleasure extracted from the pain of seeing a fellow mortal igno- miniously die? But this Is not the object of the.present article.
 A number of applications had been made to Gov. Snyder for g. pardon. It is wsll known that the governor has repeatedly expressed his opinion that the punishment of death should be aIbolished. This opinion was sug- gested to him with the hope of its aid ing to obtain his release. The gov- ernor replied with great correctness. The subject I recommended to the legislature repeatedly; as often they decided against 1t: such, therefore, must be considered as the settled opin- ion of Pennsylvania My duty is to execute the laws of the common wealth, and not my individual opin- ion"
 The prisoner arrived at the gall lows about Il o'clock. For some time he continued in prayer with Dr. Hurley. He then asked if there was any reprieve ,a circumstance to which he had probably looked with strong expectations.
 'The wretch condemned with life to
 part,
 suIl, still on hope relies, And every pang that rends his heart,
 Bids expectation rise."
 The answer was that there was none For a time the awful cer- tainty seemSd to overwhelm him; but he soon recovered.
